Everybody Hates Bulelani

If you love me, 
Why don't you understand me? 
Why would you try to turn me into you? 
Instead of just letting me be me. 
If you love me, 
Why would you say I'm a mystery? 
That I cause pain and mystery 
Instead of supporting me. 
If you love me, 
Why I you always negative? 
When I try to do something positive 
You change the narrative. 
If you love me, 
Why you never tell me to chase my dreams? 
Just to show me that you believe 
I just wanna know if you love me for real. 
I'm not asking for all of it 
I'm just asking for a little bit 
Even one percent is enough
Just give me the benefit of the doubt.
