Born, Not Raised

Born not raised across the water
Your international daughter caught between her love and hate for this fucked up foreign place
Nigerian Oyinbo, Pidgin to なんでもないよ
Going where the wind would blow, no roots to hold me down
Been spillin' opinion like it was my decision to start a foreign journey with no way home
Oh where, oh where, oh where am I me?
I say repair, repair, repair a broken dream
(One, one, one, one)
One sister, two brothers, three tongues and four borders
The weight on my shoulders keeps pushing me over
Five new institutions, cultural dilution
Exclusion of inclusion
Just wanna hit rewind on all the stolen times
And take back what was mine
And take back what was mine
Been spillin' opinion, like it was my decision to start a foreign journey with no way home
A childhood of mockin', a culture forgotten
And now I'm burdened with the never-ending pain
Oh where, oh where, oh where am I me?
I say repair, repair, repair a broken dream (just wanna hit rewind)
Oh where, oh where, oh where am I me?
I say repair, repair, repair a broken dream
この壊れた夢を修理して (am I me?)
この壊れた夢を修理して
この壊れた夢を修理して (broken dream)
