Black Man War

Black man war
I am an African 
And here 
I write a tale of black youth

Black man war
Africa is a place of multi culture
Multi religion
Multi language's
On and on
Above all multi tribes

Black man war
In Africa black man 
War with tribalism
We isolate our selves
By tribe
It goes too far
Favour ism is base on same tribe
Some tribe can't marry another tribe
Some tribe can't visit another tribe
Some tribe enslave another tribe 
 Like History said
And reality reveal's
We war among each other 
We kill each other in Africa 
From a war of tribe

Black man war
Out of Africa 
Black man war
With racism 
Where he is isolated 
Cos of the colour of his 
Skin
Systematically it still exist
Today

Black man war 
Am an African youth
I go place's and I feel 
A war that I swear
I will never let defeat
I will never Denny myself
Of who i am 
I am an African 
Am a citizen of planet earth
I was made to be on here 
By nature
If you can't handle it
Deal with it with love

Black man war
To the youth out there 
To my fellow black youth
On this struggle 
Don't gave up on life
Just hold on
Don't let go
Life is good
Life is beautiful
For after all set and done
Their is always a new day 
After the long nights
