lirik lagu damiano the don - paradise
a lot of times i reminisce bout memories i never lived
i picture what the planet looked like if they never left they ships and landed on the sh0r-s of our beaches with their guns and swords and cattle with diseases and their lips with open sores
i like to picture the taino sending boats back in the water
never learning bout the holy spirit, jesus, and his father
what would earth be like if we never got certain germs from whites?or columbus was murdered in the ocean from murky tides?
i
often daydream bout the life i could have lived in paradise
but instead i’m in the timeline where europeans terrrorize and k!lled off most my people
i wonder what it’s like
to have a history to learn that doesn’t make me cry
i
ponder bout the progress of my people if they weren’t interrupted by being murdered and hunted
it’s like a giant curtain over my eyes that i’ll never peak behind
coulda lived in peace with nature, naked, speakin with my tribe
but instead i’m in the ghetto where we beat and brutalize one another cuz of hunger we in need of dollar signs god is white no god in sight my mommas right we need -ssistance
everything is vicious wish one day i’ll close my vision then when i open it’s different
i wanna go back
back to the paradise
i wanna go back
back to the paradise
i wanna go back
back to the paradise
i wanna go back
back to the paradise
cuz we ain’t neva ask for the pain that they gave nah
we ain’t neva ask for the hate that they gave nah
we ain’t neva ask for these graves for these gravez nah
we ain’t neva ask for this pain for this pain nah
we ain’t neva ask for the pain that they gave nah
we ain’t neva ask for the hate that they gave nah
we ain’t neva ask for these graves for these gravez nah
we ain’t neva ask for this pain!
when i look through lookin gl-ss
i can look into the past
back to when my people lived freely
hidden in the trees in the leaves
with the sun on they skin and they pellos in the breeze, but that’s all inside my head, we in prison or we dead, or in debt cuz of the fees, or in cl-ss learnin bout some crackers tryna get degrees
we been bleeding because of greed, i’m so scared to bring a seed, in this world, what will it be? what kinda planet will it see? surely not the one it’s sposed to be this earth look torn and tattered
and it shouldn’t
mother natures like a battered woman
we got her out here looking defeated the forests depleted the seasons ain’t even being normal there’s a disturbance
we’re in a state of emergency which only makes me wonder more about what the universe turned to be
like what would life be like if we was never colonized?
that’s all that’s ever on my mind what if we was never colonized?
wish we was never colonized?
i wanna go back
back to the paradise
i wanna go back
back to the paradise
i wanna go back
back to the paradise
i wanna go back
back to the paradise
cuz we ain’t neva ask for the pain that they gave nah
we ain’t neva ask for the hate that they gave nah
we ain’t neva ask for these graves for these gravez nah
we ain’t neva ask for this pain for this pain nah
we ain’t neva ask for the pain that they gave nah
we ain’t neva ask for the hate that they gave nah
we ain’t neva ask for these graves for these gravez nah
we ain’t neva ask for this pain!
