Diaspora (Remastered) Lyrics

I'm a proud part of the diaspora

We ain't gon play the victim they get mad every time we're standing up

I'm proud of my people, what we accomplished

You're crazy if you think some Rockets barrages will stop us

Look through our history and we've been through it all

Made it through slavery and a holocaust and still standing tall

At the kotel western wall saying shema meditating

On all the populations to whom this song is dedicated

Six Jewish families that resided in Khartoum

My Iraqi brothers and sister survived the Farhud

The ones who came in 56 from Mizrayim

Now we're thriving

גרים בירושלים

וגם בחיפה הגולן בתל אביב

באר שבע בנגב

Eilat by the sea

אתה יודע שלא שכחתי האתיופים

שעשו את הכל מהם אמרו שהם לא יכולים

I'm a proud part of the diaspora

In my heart I hold Jerusalem and Africa

Kicked us out of our land and started gassin us

'Til we put our foot down cuz we had enough

Check out the flag that I'm waving

Two blue stripes and a huge Star of David

Check out the flag that I'm waving

Keep shooting rockets but you never gon' take it

I hear em talking about the Jews will not replace us

On college campuses they've been trying to erase us

And all that BDS campaignin

We've dealt with worse problem than racist associations

Of students all acting stupid

And thinking they're making differences

Picking and choosing truths,

not knowing what real resistance is

You say you value social justice are you kidding us?

What the hell gives you the right to tell me who's indigenous?

You don't have it you just assume the privilege

Of looking at other people and telling 'em what their image is

You want the image to fit your twisted narrative

But your divide and conquer tactics ain't scaring this

Diaspora of which I'm a proud part

I got blue and white in my veins running through my heart

And they get mad when we're surviving

The truth is the only way they like a Jew is if they're dying

So i'ma say this by the candlelight

Take moment and remember the fallen for their sacrifice

Never again never forget

They wanted us dead we rose from the ashes instead

מלמדים ההיסטוריה מדור לדור

לא יהיה לנו עתיד עם לא נזכור

We wouldn't have a future if we didn't have the past

Everyday we gotta take a minute and honor those who passed

Then wake up determined cuz we returning

To the ways that they tried to erase that we're preserving

Scattered in the wind in diaspora conditions

still maintained a connection to our traditions

From Morocco to Havana Yemen living in Aden

Ciudad de Mexico Buenos Aires we're all one nation

Through all of the oppression that they threatened tryna shatter us

I'm still a proud part of the diaspora

I'm a proud part of the diaspora

In my heart I hold Jerusalem and Africa

Kicked us out of our land and started gassin us

'Til we put our foot down cuz we had enough

Check out the flag that I'm waving

Two blue stripes and a huge Star of David

Check out the flag that I'm waving

Keep shooting rockets but you never gon take it
