My ancestors were Indian, but India was not for us/ My people built the West, we even gave the skinheads Swastikas/ Now everybody everywhere wants their country back/ If you want me back where I’m from bruv I need a map/ If everyone gets their sh*t back then that’s bless for us/ You only built a piece, but the rest was us.
