Where I Come From Lyrics

Pouring all my problems in a red cup

Trying not to think about it too much

Staring at my phone, 3:07

Guess it doesn't really make a difference

Tell 'em I don't even know where I come from

Repping Cincinnati but I'm long gone

Sister born in Hong Kong, middle school in China

Can't escape the Desi, even though I tried to

Put a distance between me and all my heritage

Ain't about inheritance, swear I'm all American

Sorry I'm repetitive I don't know if I'm selling it

Really insecurity but it come off as arrogance

That's my fault, guess I'm too old now to say I'm still learning

Bring the beat back like a cardio surgeon

But you know it's deeper than that I'm soul searching

Swear I try my best but I don't think it's working

இது தாண்டி

என்ன இருக்கு

எனக்கே தெரியாது

Points on a map

No lookin back

Cover my tracks or follow my path

No time to unpack

Been on the run since I was young

I don't know where I come from

Been on the run since I was young

I don't know where I come from

Been on the run since I was young

I don't know where I come from

Been on the run since I was young

I don't know where I come from

This trail is blazing, my mind is racing

I'm faster chasing, my trace erases with

Every day, split in pieces like I'm china clay

Mirror image, only shards remain

Of my lineage, am I American, am I Indian?

Splintered by the prime meridian

Non linear but I'm living it

Headquarters changing on a dime

Packing up a bag, Appa got a new assignment

Learned to be detached, isolated confinement

Tried to reconnect with my people but I can't find them

Lost on the MRT, scorching Chennai heat

Chalk trees on the concrete

Day by day, I stay the same, my roots grow obsolete

இது தாண்டி

என்ன இருக்கு

எனக்கே தெரியாது

Points on a map

No lookin back

Cover my tracks or follow my path

No time to unpack

Been on the run since I was young

I don't know where I come from

Been on the run since I was young

I don't know where I come from

Been on the run since I was young

I don't know where I come from

Been on the run since I was young

I don't know where I come from
