I come from a generation of fighters
Fighting for a future of peace abroad
Searching for a home yearning for the years
When love don't struggle for food and warmth
I come from the faith strong, wide-eyed
Strong-hearted, God-fearing, God-preaching
And now I speak in tongues, not of my mother
But of another as the other, see the problem
It's the sound of the monsoon, this beat 'bout to fill the room
This storm is going to come through, I'm growing up
My past got me thinking 'bout what it is, why it is
Man, I'm just tryna settle my business
You'd think that the boy from the migrant family
Would've grown up the family tree but
But I grew in a place where my face
Not one of a million, but one in a million
I set fire, it's premeditated
I'm soul-searching, I be contemplating
I speak through the beat, to my craft I'm dedicated
My spirit gotta fly, it need elevating
Mmm
I need your spirit to come through
I need your spirit to come through
I come from
A bloodline of incredible devotion
Mama, papa always holding it down, I'm blessed
Through the years seen love, seen death
It's hard to move with strength, but God, I keep trying my best
When I went to the homeland, you bet I don't understand
A word that my aunts, uncles, cousins, parents, grandparents
Neighbours, shopkeepers, TV speakers, country leaders
Man, ain't no English that's in demand, f*ck
This my plight
In one world I speak fact, in one world I'm held back
Can't help that I'm washed white, can't say I don't act right
What this country did to me, yeah it's f*cked my identity, so
Took a year to reflect, spent my days working
Back of arcade and the retail trade, I felt lost
Ain't no time for doubt
Three years, kept my head down, I'm graduating, we space bound
I carried on, you know I found love
I let my soul speak, lyrics from above
I'm from overseas, and I'm from the West
Walking down my path, ain't got no time to rest
Mmm
I need your spirit to come through
I need your spirit to come through
The first few months of our arrival was a cultural shock
It was a big change
We had experienced some difficulties in moving
The culture was different, the language and the accent was different
We had to adjust
A success for the sacrifices we endured
Thank God for that
Yeah, I'm still growing, I'm still learning
Not even halfway, my spirit is still yearning
Keep on moving on I got God with me
Y'all can't get rid of me I'm keeping company
Mmm
I need your spirit to come through
I need your spirit to come through
Mmm
I need your spirit to come through
I need your spirit to come through
