THE MAN

It’s not about the colour, the man

Love for every thing
But the man
The Mercedes, the suit
The shoes, the tele
The dress and the computer

It’s not about the colour, the man
The hair dyed with the colour
No problem
The leather sofa
The different cars
Party and respectable occasions
The colour is seen

So it is about the colour, but the man
Yes, the black man
He is the problem, not his colour
But why?
May be we haven’t done enough
May be we are bad competitors
May be we are less ruthless
May be we are less determined
May be we are too perceive and soft
Yet our statue, so strong
Evidently we are not united
Factually we are divided

It’s not about the colour, the man
We will not be loved unless we love ourselves
Man is dignity and dignity is respect
Do we want dignity and statue?
Do we want grace and honour?
Let’s look into ourselves
The solution is there
No more blames
This world is hostile, stand firm you win
Are we standing? Are you standing?
You see what matters is our collective success and respect
Let’s do it, we can
