Genocide - My Life Ft. Teva Valentine lyrics

Verse 1: Let me take you way back to my early years A violent journey, full of blood, sweat and tears I grew up in a town they called Zvornik My village high up in the hills called bukovik Situated on the banks of the river drina Welcome to Bosnia and Hercegovina Before the war, my family lived a normal life I went to school learning my language to read and write Used to go to the mosque and learn the prayers And walk back home greeting my serbian neighbours I was too young to know what the difference is And back then we were just innocent little kids Then the war came so my fam had to flee I couldn't comprehend why they wanna murder me We were cleansed out, made to leave our motherland And the home my father built with his own hands Chorus: My life - is an everyday battle when your living in a foreign land My life - when i look into the mirror i dont even know who IAM My life - is a lonely road, IM a long way away from home My life - to my culture I hold on tight and I will never let it go Verse 2: I stepped off the plane in the land we arrived in Dublin city, in the republic of Ireland Cherry orchard i will always remember it Thats where we stayed before they put us on a benefit I went to school and learned to speak english But from day one i felt like a misfit Cuz i Was different a refugee Could never really fit in no-one related to me And my education was in a foreign tongue And as the years go by you forget where your from Plus i left home young, never knew about my roots No cla**room lesson on the balkan fueds My land full of weapons and men in army suits Everynight i would see it on the 6 oclock news I was losing my culture, along with my language LIKE who am i where do i belong on this planet CHORUS Verse 3: I became a citizen of the land I was living in Got the pa**port but still didn't feel equivelent Still an immigrant a product of a war Look at the birthplace written in your pa**port How many times you gotta spell your name for someone How many times somebody ask you where you come from How many times have you been told to go back Do you really feel like your are..where you belong at Tell me why your ashamed of your m**m name Its an insult to the pain your people overcame Tell me why you dont even know your background Living overseas but your culture you lack now Where is home, home is where the heart is Regardless of where your at, remember where you started The reason you departed and why it got you where you at Where you come from, always remember that Copyright - J.Dzilic [Genocide] Http://www.GenocideRap.com
