Disconnected Diaspora ft Orko Eloheim

from F​.​P​.​N by Passive 65ive

/

lyrics

How can I possibly find a connection with quagmire colonialism?
How can I wave a Union Jack in good faith without feeling connections to racism?
Scarred by those National front images hijacking Patriotism
Now Scapegoat creation with the subtle blend of island mentality
Makes these things all the more easily to see
Through the experienced eyes of my generation born in the Late 70’s
Why I go out of my way not to support England in the world cup
Remembering John Barnes and the Banana abuse
The subtle nuances wording some may find aloof
‘Jamaican born’ when the penalty is missed
I guess I am now as Ghanaian Brit
I may tend to lean towards the motherland ... that’s me being honest
Although when travelling I have the ‘Brit Characteristic’
Learning about William Caffey, Equiano and Mary Seacourt
Things forgotten about in school
Just like the Ottoman Empire and Timbuktu
I find it strange to find that I may have more in common with those
That go out of their way not to conform to what’s expected of them
Come off the beaten track those that don’t get in to fit in
I see nothing wrong with that
I raise a voice in confusion for all the disconnected Diaspora
Garvey, Martin, Malcolm, Lamumba
I raise a voice in confusion to set up a form of an identifier
Nkrumah, Fela, Kenyatta, Mandela
