Africa Is Strange To the World

Africa is strange to the world 
Show me which race 
Battles more 
If it skin is not dark as mine 

Tell me why I must 
To grow to cry 
Instead to be supported
By life 

Show me which continent
Don't isolate or never 
Isolated Africans

Am not here to blame 
Fight of curse 

But I bear a mark 
And it light must 
Light up a dark world

Does it matter 
Who is happy or sad 
When the value of 
Humans are worthless
In a so called titled third
World nation

Why this hate towards 
Us African 

Made me understand 
How bless we are 
No wonder 
Africa is strange to the world
