A virus of negativity flows In our bloodstreams/It kills the ability to turn our harsh reality Into dreams...
Like a river negative thoughts continues to flow/letting the dreams to fade like a snail that melts as It go...
Untruth,fictitious concept's and lack of appreciation covers the mind/While our skin Is covered with the colour of the blind...
Innocent souls believing that a curse made our skin dark/That's why our people resides In a land shaped like a question mark...
The word "freedom" Is just a word cause we still look up to the people that led us to the chain/"freedom" it's just an empty word,It's like a dark cloud without rain...
We shout singing out loud songs of freedom but honestly we are just proud monkeys In a dying tree/Our own leaders,now enslave us with poverty,corruption and Injustice.We need a new Moses to come and helps us cross the Sea...

Brutalized by the 9-11 men who promised to give us security/Africa she sleeps on a bed of riches but the people still swims in a rivers of poverty...
The world wonders why our blood flows together with violence/It's because for years we have been tied with chains of silence...
We are led by the blind,That's why our thoughts are darker than a night without stars/Stereotypes,trapped Inside our heads,our minds are like jails without bars...
Are we destined to fail?.Cause It's like a seed of failure Is planted deep into our thoughts/and when that seed turns into a tree it bears fruits of doubts...
Everytime we trust,we end up picking broken pieces of our hearts on the floor/So trust to Us,Is like seeking safety In a room without a door...
The world wanted my people to varnish like a shadow In the night/To see the truth,We need to takeoff the black goggles that clouds beauty from our sight...
Am talking about pessimism and racism...
It's not a reality It's just a fabrication of the mind that kills imagination/Scars of yesterday are the emanation...

We pray for change but racism,bloodshed and hatred stays the same like our grandmother's black and white picture/Nowadays,we need drugs to escape reality cause thinking Is like sitting In a room full of torture...
We sweat,we bleed and cry but our progress Is not moving like stagnant water,We need to make better plans before our lives starts stinking/Our heads turn blue like mega mind cause we stay up all night thinking...
Our leaders are worthless and useless like an empty wine bottle/That's why Africa has problems many as the verses of the bible...
Our justice system Is like a fishing net that only traps smaller fish and lets the sharks go/Injustice,corruption and poverty stays stinking In Africa because our leaders never allows the truth to flow...
Chasing the African dream Is like chasing the beautiful colours of a rainbow but you realize In the end that their Is nothing to gain/It's like jumping In the ocean just to avoid the rain...
