Am An African Not An African'T
Am an African not an african't
Africa every where is a mystery
To an enmity
Wonder why
Yet it was before
I was born
So now they ask me
Who are you to make a change
Am an African not an African't
The plague of cries are still
A mystery to my soul
The name as am identify with"
An AFRICAN
Stands to over rule
All objection
That change can be
Yes am a African
Born in a generation of change
Am an African not african't
Set it in the hills
Set it on the mountains
Yes I can
Despite them rule
Despite them education
Despite them illusion
Yet yes I can
Yes I can at least change my
Mind from all of old
Yes I can preach of nature
And write of love
Yes I can touch the hearts
Of the innocents
Yes I can see to make
My opinion
Oh yes I can
Despite them want us to be
African't
Yet And yet
Their is still a one of
A kind that could
Say with no fear like
I write
Am an African
Not
An african't .
