Still I stay


When you hear the story of ignorance think of me For I’ve been here for as long as the Earth been to existence I’ve been here when God was creating the universe I’ve ask god to create human because of bored-some Yeah, I was one of the first to ever been created Though you might not believe it I am the brother of him the ultimate thanks to him I’ve been so fortunate I was there when they took me and my kind into slavery though some of us fight till the end, some just give in I was there when they rape the queen Ghazon And kill the father king Ghazon Yeah, i was there when they chop her head off Afraid of revolt, But that came 100 years later anyways I was there when the first black man had stand up against injustices I was there when they hung him for standing up Yeah though I’ve been through allot I’m still alive Though all the great warriors had die there’s still hope for a great future though our lives became meaningless in their eyes we are still humans and breathing Though they had tried everything to wipe us out We are still strong and dominate Though most of us are poor we are still the riches though our culture, religions, and way of lives are being taking away from us we are still dominate Though, mine King and queen been long gone I’ve still see them in the us of all of us Though, our army is not as strong it once used to be we are still warriors Though, we’ve ask so many question but none ever been answered we are like sleeping giant that’s taking a break from millions of millions of years of work Yeah our break is probably the hardest but that's just the whole point of it For the time for the sleeping giants to wake up is now For the time for unification once again is now Yeah, we still have allot to do but we wont ever get nowhere if we don’t rise up now We can’t be kings and queens if we wont challenge our problems We can’t possible go to peace if we all running away from the fight for it We can’t possible call ourselves Africans if we always fighting each other like a bunch of savages or uncivilized people Yeah, better days are coming but they won’t come till you go look for them You want to stop poverty, corruption you’ve got to get involve now we want to educate people, so educate now you want revenge then let rise up now and get revenge on proving ourselves to them prove we can do it all alone and better No, we do not needs them not now or ever as they won’t aspect us as humans will do them a favor we will show them they don’t have to look at us as the lowest we can only do that when we organize and stop all those crimes We can protect all of our brothers all over the world that facing discrimination We can save our motherland from becoming one of their other nations we can stop looking up to them we can start living a free lives as the people of Africa We can unite once again but first we must get educated we can’t go to the future like we are right now NO... that would be shame for our fellow brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, and children For we have have enough of pain Now it’s time for revolution like we did 500 or 100 years ago? Can you keep on living on shame to your ancestor? Can you really call yourselves the children of the great creator? when you closed you eyes what do you see? Don’t you find it hard to live? Don’t you find it unbelievable, and shamble to your ancestors? For all they’ve done for you to be here Don’t you think they weeping right now in their graves Everyday you wake up you living in shame Why won’t you finish the work your ancestor started Why most of us so greedy Why when they gives us power or opportunities to change our people lives we only care for ourselves? Why does we got to kill our sisters and brothers for standing up when we ain’t doing right? Why we abuse our power? We most of our nation have the lowest humans Rights? why does we let our enemy control us by economically and politically? What you’ve got to say for yourselves? Are you really happy with the way we living? are you okay with us being on TV all around the world as Neediest? Mr. Government are you really happy with your results? Mr. Warlord are you really happy with what you’re doing? Mr. European and Mr. White America are you happy with what you’ve done to Africa and the world? Funny, I’ve Think back then when our people were more stronger in any ways necessary We never let the European or other white people control us. And now they goes to our home and kill our family and claim our lands as theirs I don’t know what should I do should I fight with my people as a revolutionist? or should I just stay and live in this wicked world amongst the people who’ve hate my kind the most? Or should I just take all my stuff and go live somewhere were there’s no humans? For that would be peaceful and there would be no worries expect staying alive till the next group of them come back to make us slaves again? No... that! I wont ever go through it again, so I should stand tall as the only Africans to fight for my dears brothers and sisters and also my Children and grandchildren that yet to set their scared little feet in this messed up world.......
