Forever Desi (feat. Anusha Savi)

From an East side land to a West Coast lifestyle
Jhabho and jeans, that was always my style
Every year garba got mad plans
Cuz I'm like MJ with The Last Dance
Sharing love in the way that only mothers can
Every single time I'm visiting the motherland
Sanskaar always giving me the upper hand
But imma talk about another plan, uh
This for all the times kids weren't digging me
Lunchtime sambhar, vada, idli
Throw away my silver spoon, I'm eating with my hands
But this million-dollar smile will make 'em understand
I'm reflecting on the times when I felt ashamed
Cuz when you started from the bottom, nothing was the same
The way that someone else could make you feel about your roots
Could make you wanna take a jump without a parachute
But that embarrassment has turned into confidence
Any sign of disrespect, it's a consequence
All the tables will turn when I take seat
No matter what cuz I'm proud to be Desi

Kya hoon main, kya nahin
Na mujhko tha pataa
Pehchaan khud meri
Khud hi nahi jaana
Desi hoon main abhi
Mujhe garv hai mera
Hai mera, aah

Time to wear my skin proud
Just like a golden crown
Our power is endowed
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

I build dreams for my generation
Gold palaces with decoration, and the jewelry got no limitation
It's no wonder why they imitate us
Tryna push us outside the frame, it don't intimidate us
Give me a minute, I'm just spiritually renovating
Steady elevating, and still delivering a revelation
Hold it down with no hesitation
And you still need an explanation?
Aight, I'm controlling every digit when the dice rolls
Steady chasing after life goals
They never want us on the field when they picking the team
But they loving our celebrities on cinema screens
I'm blowing my steam to think they ever getting between
What we started, came from the kings and the queens
So what we charted, blue, white, orange and green
So what we plotting, domination all as a team
Listen, our scriptures taught us how to live our best life
Imma take 'em all with me to the next life
So, no matter what the world makes me
Til I die I'm always proud to be Desi

Kya hoon main, kya nahin
Na mujhko tha pataa
Pehchaan khud meri
Khud hi nahi jaana
Desi hoon main abhi
Mujhe garv hai mera
Hai mera, aaaaaah

Time to wear my skin proud
Just like a golden crown
Our power is endowed
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Time to wear my skin proud, just like a crown
A golden crown, golden crown, a golden crown, a golden crown
Ooh, aah
