African China Man?

Oh God Why did you make my skin so dark? So you can hide from those who take your spark Oh God Why did you make my eyes big and white? So you could see better on the days with no light Oh God Why did make my nostrils flare? So you could breath in all this wonderful air Oh God Why did you make me this type of person that I am? For you are an African and the strength of your land Then what the heck am I doing in China big man! ( I originally heard a version of this in spanish, just put my own take on it lol. hope no offense :P)
