Far East Mango

Mama Magey amma Who am I? Tell me, Mama The mirror shows a traitor, the map shows a lie Magey amma Where do I rely? To the heel of the boot or the flesh of the mango? I don't know the taste at all I'm standing in the doorway, making myself small They say it's not fair when I am not fair, like a Brown girl in the ring Gasping for air. I can't scrub off the clay God knows I've tried to tear the skin from the bone, but the bone is still there Where do I belong? Tell me, where do I belong? To the snow or the sun? To the battle or the run? Is it the boot or the Far East mango? I don't need to know Blood is thicker than water But I'm just a stranger's daughter. Blood is thicker than water. Then why am I Drowning in flood? Blood is thicker than water How is the coin in the bottom? Blood is thicker than water No, guilt is thicker than blood My tongue is cut in two Half plays the Roman, half cries for you Swallow a flag I can't claim Choke on my own name. Tourist in the village A suspect in the crowd. Too white for the jungle Too dark for the crown They say it's not fair when I am not fair, like a Brown girl in the ring Gasping for air. Where do I belong? Tell me, where do I belong? To the snow or the sun? To the battle or the run? Is it the boot or the Far East mango? I don't need to know Blood is thicker than water, but I'm just a stranger's daughter. Blood is thicker than Water. Stopped at the border. Blood is thicker than water. Just follow the order Blood is thicker than water. Lamb to the slaughter. Blood is thicker than water Bricks in the mortar. Blood is thicker than water Brought into quarters. Blood is thicker than water. No, Guilt is thicker than blood You crossed the ocean to give me a life I know i know, but Mama, I'm freezing in paradise I am the branch that snapped in the breeze. Now the earth doesn't recognize me I'm not Italian I'm not Lankan I am just lonely No borders, Just the water Salt in the eye, Salt in the sea. The ocean is the only mirror that looks like me Magey amma No roots, Just the sea
