Born and raised in...

Born and raised where the dogs chase, Full of respect and all praise,
My heart is where my home is now and for always, I remember all days fine,
I m in pain but I carry a colgate smile,
Wanna change my life, Won't change mine, Those days fine, Ghost days like,
Sun rises in the east but ways i shine, Another day later, postage arrives,
Can't sayI have no regrets, It was a dream and i woke up in cold sweat,
Can't give up my mother told that, I would have shunned but i learnt to tolerate,
wasn't born with a silver spoon but i ate off gold plate,
I learnt to iron the wrinkles coz i didn't get clothes folded,
Lot of souls lost where the crossroads end,
But crossroads the place where lost souls end,
Lot of friends with empty bottles and ashtrays filled, Wasting time, many a beautiful faces killed, Youth of my nation are in a state of mind that can't be explained,
We prayed everytime it rained and everytime it didn't rain,
But future is better for the children, Coz many went 2 be adored by the millions,
And this is the path we sought so dearly, And many made a path to follow, so clearly,
Far away from the milky way the word spread, You couldn't be from the third they said,
World takes notice, Now everybody loves the underdog,
And under what circumstances we came up only we know,
Neighbours Envy, Even owners envy, Got talents plenty but the errands ran this,
West, that where my parents sent me, I do this for my culture, if u know what i mean,
I do this for Saffron White and Green
It is more than a song, the song that we sing two times a year,
But does this mean we are concerned about our country just two times a year,
So does this mean two times the love, What do they call it, You find the word,
So every morning in schools across the nation the song is heard,
But its due time we learn, I want to say a lot , but i end up saying something,
Go ahead write us off, Don't say nothing,
And don't judge me coz u don't know what it is to be,
Born and raised in India.
