Diversity
Alborosie Lyrics

This is for my people
This song is created for my community and those who share my background.

Oh My JahJah people
This is for my community that shares the same belief and culture as I do, following the same teachings.

The conguering Lion
I associate myself with the powerful, victorious lion that represents my community's strength and resilience.

I don't want to live in the past
I want to move forward from past events that have shaped me, and not let them define my present or future.

So I'm looking 4 a brighter day
I am searching for a better tomorrow that brings people together, and offers equal opportunities and happiness for everyone.

My homeland is right there behind the horizon
The place where I and my community belong is not far, and offers hope and comfort for a better future.

God almighty watch me sameway
I believe that there's a higher power watching over me and guiding me in the right direction, and I trust in its plans for me.

Someone is judging my spirituality
Some people are criticizing the way I choose to connect with my beliefs and faith.

Laughing at my meditation
They are ridiculing my practice of quieting my mind to connect with my spirituality.

Don't be afraid of diversity
We should not fear our differences, but embrace them as they bring us closer together and make us stronger as a community.

There is no confliction
Embracing diversity does not lead to conflicting beliefs or values, but instead allows us to better understand each other and coexist peacefully.

Blessed shall be the one who live in love, respect and dedication
Those who live their lives with love, respect, and dedication towards others and themselves will find blessings and happiness.

Blessed shall be the one who live in love
Those who live their lives with love and care for others and themselves will be blessed and enjoy a fulfilling life.

Love you King Selassie
I pay homage and respect to King Selassie, a leader who embodied the values and beliefs of my community.

Promise you I'll keep your crown
I vow to uphold the legacy and principles of King Selassie, honoring his contributions to my community.

No man will bring me down
I will not let anyone's words or actions discourage or defeat me.

Live in love and life shall bloom
Living with love and kindness towards others will create a positive environment and bring prosperity and happiness.

God is waiting there
I believe that there is a place of love and peace waiting for us all after this life.

Don't be scared of where you're going
We should not fear the unknown destination, but trust that it will be a place of love and happiness.

'cause you don't really now where
As humans, we cannot predict where we will end up in the future, so we should focus on living meaningful lives in the present.

Simple people with simple life
We are content with leading simple lives, free of materialistic desires and unneeded complications.

We don't seek perfection
We understand that no one is perfect, and perfection is unattainable, so we focus on improving ourselves instead of seeking an unattainable standard.

For many years we've been living in
For generations, we have been living in a certain way that reflects our values and beliefs as a community.

One life of illusion
We understand that life can be full of illusions, but we try to live authentically and truthfully, accepting reality as it is.
