Schama - Haitian Chum [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

(Chorus)

My mom and dad are Haitian
My mom and dad are Haitian
3rd grade was my first time facing discrimination
Actually it wasn't cuz I prolly told em I'm Jamaican
To escape the danger that came with being from the nation
Where it's said the people eat cats and worship satan
And dirty lakes is where they bathe in, and they're uneducated

Verse 1:

I tried to hide my identity even from my closest friends for 1/10th of a century
Lying to myself, contradict my entire entity
To make sure all my class mates accepted me , cuz if I told anyone my race they would've definitely rejected me
Take me in front of the school and beheaded me
I didn't have the balls like a vasectomy
Nor the integrity to go head up with these fools who thought they was better than me cause they inherited American genes
Maybe one day a Haitian can embrace the American dream
But the most embarrassing thing was realizing that the niggas who were saying the most embarrassing things were black just like me
Only difference is that they were from here and I'm from Haiti
But we had the same characteristics and the white folks couldn't see no difference
So why is it in the black community they're has to be so much division

(Chorus)


Verse 2:

Tryna hide my identity but I couldn't successfully keep it up so I knew eventually it would eat me up
Essentially I would get beaten up till I was weak enough to get beat by a centipede is this deep enough?
It tore me inside out, metaphorically speaking
"I hate Haitians" that was the majority speaking
"Go back to your country" that was just the chorus they singing
It hurt me, it was horrible they ain't care bout yo feelings
They think we're all illiterate
They ain't know bout the sicknesses that was killing the villages filled with little kids death is being administered
Suicide being committed in high percentages
Disease signed a contract with the devils signature
Life resembled the most hideous picture ever and it took a massive earth quake to gain your attention shut up listen I'm fed up bishes
I ain't gonna let up with these lyrics
Until you feel the pain I exhibit
Till you see the rain that was dripping
The freaking cage that I lived in
We're both black, we're the same!
But y'all still treat me different
Crack on me and start attacking me again
You dim witted menaces, we're both African descent
You freaking idiots your ignorance is the opposite of minimum
You play victim to the whites, but are racist to haitians you stupid hypocrites
