"Divided" lyrics

Dark eyes and brown skin
Swear I was your flavour
You say this is love
I say this is not a game
You got scared of my culture

Did my family scare you off?
Was the curry too hot?
I know I'm "not like the other girls, run away"
But it is coming from you or your parents

Dated a racist
"You can't bring that dark girl home"
'Cause Mama's waiting to see to see the next
Generation that follows
Can't say you hate it, just ignorant
You just need to grow a pair
To raise what they wish
Raise what they wish we had aborted

You should've gone ahead and said it!
You should've called it! You should've called it!
But daddy did not wanna raise no loser
He made you bail out! He made you bail out!
You should've saved yourself the headache
I should've seen you and your depth
Now go and stand in the shallow depths
Of your white-picket-fence rules
Now go have fun with that

Dated a racist
"You can't bring that dark girl home"
'Cause Daddy's waiting to see to see the next
Generation that follows
Can't say you hate it, just ignorant
You just need to grow a pair
To raise what they wish
Raise what they wish we had aborted

It's a shame you're a razor blade
There's a clear divide here
This how society stays
Still stuck in rigid ways
It's a shame, It's a shame you're a razor blade
Keeping us, keeping us divided
Divided, this is how your family's staying
Stuck in rigid ways

Dated a racist
"You can't bring that dark girl home"
'Cause Daddy's waiting to see to see the next
Generation that follows
Can't say you hate it, you need to speak up
You just need to grow a pair
To raise what they wish
Raise what they wish we had aborted
Raise what Dad wish we had aborted
Raise what Mum wish we had aborted
Raise what they wish we had aborted
