Diaspora by Ezra Teshome Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was born a Black man
African for generations
But they tell me I’m not Black enough
Never felt like I’d be good enough
Never felt like I’d be good

[Chorus]
Diaspora, Diaspora
Will we rise, To be the change we want to see
Comfort the needing, geographically
Can you hear me

[Verse 2]
They try to tell us who are but we don't care
Constantly trying to deny us of what we've invested
My people had to fight so you know I'm here to defend
It's a new world, new girl, I've been on this new one
Sit down you better respect it
I'm here to represent my people, yeah where you at
Coolie diaspora ain't no more hiding in the back
Our power's infinite and our pain has taught us that
Be ready to reclaim, take action, and then take shit back
[Verse 2]
I don’t know what love is
Does it come with insurance
Does it have a barcode
Will we have to read its pages
(I don’t know what love is)

[Chorus]
Diaspora, Diaspora
Will we rise, Be the change we want to see
Comfort the needing, geographically
Can you hear me

[Chorus]
Diaspora, Diaspora
Will we rise, Be the change we want to see
Comfort the needing, geographically
Can you hear me
Can you feel me
