Yodael G - Diaspora (Album Version) Lyrics

So imma do this for my East African
Brothers and sisters
And uh for those who aren't
Imma show y'all what it's like to be Habesha
Check

So picture this a little African boy
Who moved from Ethiopia to Windy City Illinois
Large heart big forehead a bright kid
Hairline pushed back cuz his mom tried cutting it
And it didn't really work mom but like I still love you but don't ever touch my hair...for real

Large heart big forehead a bright kid
Big A** Head he's mega minded
No I don't have pets as lions
But really we not that primitive keep on trying
Finally got cable stayed watching Nickelodeon
All the kids at school said do you speak Ethiopian
Ooh and Public school was the worst
They'd always ask
Umm Do you know how to curse
In my language
Yeah
I told em nah and I ain't care that's when they stopped talking and they just stared
Uh oh
I think they noticed
I think they really do
They started to smell the air and asked is that you
I said yea it was my cologne
I lied it was the food my mom made at home
So now u know how I felt with a bad
Hair-uh-line
They say are you anime
No but I know Caroline

Hands up if you felt like this
If a ferenj would ever try to go sneak diss
But yo
Hands up if you felt like this
If ze White man say he is not racist
But yo
Hands up if you felt like this
If nechoch had ever got you super pissed, yo
Hands up if you felt like this
If ze White man made u say Ight that's it

I'm getting heated these niggas they wanna act up so they try to throw shade
How y'all gon' diss my own culture but try to go eat off the food that we made
Y'all niggas lame
Y'all Niggas fake
Growin' up I always caught me this fade
Momma would smack me then on the next day
She'd tell my sister Gombesebay
Then she's walk in my room she yellin' up in my face
Saying something like

I swear to God you gonna
You going over
Always playing Bideo Game
Bideo Game, Bideo Game every friday
You no Read book Nothing
You don't do nothing
SH*** I swear to God

I'm Best friends With Ma daddy Belt

I'm Best friends With Ma daddy Belt
Cuz That's the only thing that I ever need
Ma Parents don't believe in a time out
So all I got was whoppings On my Qeet
I'm saying I'm a young black boy in the U.S.A
Got up Asked my mom for the freshest J's
Then she came back with the weirdest things
With the serategna 12's... and let's just say
Like how u gon buy me ye Kongo chama mom For real
I see how it is

Quit it quit it for I get in trouble
I'm the coolest monkey in the jungle
U could try to diss my race but this my race
I rep 'em for life and I ain't ever fumble
I mean I'm proud of my kin and the stereotypes
My African country's never imperialized
We the ones to start the trend
Green yellow and red
And other nations said
Put it on our flag
I mean I have green card screw DACA
Skinny Habeshas run track play soccer
Growin up I was called chemlaka
Fresh oh de boat niggas got that vegeta hair
Can't stop a
Nigga like me
Who was born light skin
Grew up then I noticed I got melanin
Then again I'm still questioning
When I was born
Does that make me a reversed Michael Jackson
Yea
So yea I love my race
And if imma a see another person ask me for de way
Imma just click my tongue and just walk away
Cuz I'm cool with how I am and how my Genes are made
Yeah
I Hate Some Habesha's
But I love my Race
I Hate Some Habesha's
But I love my Race
I Hate Some Habesha's
But I love my Race
I Hate Some Habesha's
But I love my Race
I Hate Some Habesha's
But I love my Race
I Hate Some Habesha's
But I love my Race
