Verse 1:
Growing up in Indonesia
Can be so confusing
True you can’t please everyone
But everyone refuse it
Assalamualaikum
God be with you
But don’t fuse it
Hate is engraved
Smiling as you do it
Hidup udah rumit
Persekusi abis baca Rumi
Nenek moyangmu pelaut, napa berlaga pribumi?
Black on black is not the problem cuz the colors all diluted
Kebebasan all around
Keadilan not included
Hmm..
Damn it it’s all lies
So outlandish
Being myself could be taken up us offensive
Somehow thе way i speak devaluate thе message
Aku ganti bahasa baru kau mulai atentif
Jangan aneh-aneh, jangan ngada-ngada
Jangan belaga kren, cari gara-gara
Ngomongin apa, bisa biasa ga?
Goddammit it’s all lies
Tell me it’s alright
To deny what makes you different just to be one of a kind
Hook:
We livin but we livin out in fear
Sometimes I pray He’d take me outta here
Sometimes I pray He’d take me outta here
Cuz out here I’m outlandish
Unwanted
Rejected
Sometimes I pray He’d take me outta here
Bridge:
As a child, you convinced me I should not have been born here
As a child, you convinced me I should not have been born…
Verse 2:
Never no
Never no
Never no
Never enough, no
Either that or too much of one thing or the other
Never enough
You would never trust me to adjust to acceptable behavior
Too foreign for home but too foreign for all my foreign neighbors
Too much rappin to sing along
Too much singing to be rapper
Dammit it’s all lies
So outlandish
Oh you think I’m cute?
Compliment’s backhanded
Your forbidden fruit, thoughts of me are planted
When the others catch you red handed, act as if you never had em
Act as if you never knew me
Reputation’s on the line
I’m just a second citizen
Not by nature
By design
I know you think I’m all lies
Tell yourself it’s alright
To deny what makes you different just to be one of a kind
Hook:
We livin but we livin out in fear
Sometimes I pray He’d take me outta here
Sometimes I pray He’d take me outta here
Cuz out here I’m outlandish
Unwanted
Rejected
Sometimes I pray He’d take me outta here
