Bring forth this power, welcome to this dream
Liberty, brown skin, come shine on me
Liberty, brown skin in the mainstream
This golden speech is ancestral preach

I see your schemes, but I'm ahead of you
On stolen land making breakthroughs
More than your spice for revenue
Don't see my view, come kiss these shoes

Check this parade of coloured babes
Op-shop bougie, and here to stay
I want your rights and your privilege
I want your God and your ignorance

But you'll never have this holy vision
Third-world raised, with queer baptism
Fashion on fleek, in my blessed kingdom
This is daily life, not an exhibition

You make it okay to constantly check my space
Your lack of place is displacing me with hate
I go from a couch to a car to a lease that will never have my name
Hello Mr. Tone Police, you're calling me ingrate?

Where are you from?
Where are you from?
Where are you from?
Where are you from?

I think not, if you think I'm lost
I'm not losing sleep, re-check your gossip
Joyfully building all these mansions
Disregarding your distractions

Believe me I was born this flawless
Mean it when you call me Goddess
Bring me forth for your shop front pose
Use my kindness for your fame (God no!)

Call me fierce for your chess game
Better pay my cheque, mate
Better give me my rupees please
Worth more than your dollars, chief

Take me to your land and say you don't want it back
Take me to your land and say it doesn't make you mad
Take me to your land, take me to your land
Don't you ever question your connection to the sea?
Don't you ever question your connection to the trees?
Don't your ever question your God, when you're down to your knees?
Take me to your land, take me to your land
Take me to your land, take me to your land

You think I come from another galaxy
You feel intimidated understandably
Understandably disconnected from humanity
And so you call my whole existence unreality

Loug kya kahengay, I don't care what they say
Tujhe andaaza bhi nahi, meh anmol hoon
Bekaunf hoon, khoobsurat hoon
Bekaunf hoon, teri noor hoon

And yet you make it okay to constantly check my space
You got there first and yet you don't want to make this about race
I want to go from a dream to a life with joy that will always have my name
Hello Mr. Tone Police, still calling me ingrate?

Where are you from?
Who's land you on?
Where are you from?
Who's land you on?
