My Right
my right
respect my right
if you want to be my friend
except you don't care
but be sure my right
I will never ever gave up
for you
your intimidation
your torture
your disrespect
may be your own opinion
is obvious that is your way
yet my right can't be taken away
by those pains you inflict on my body
at the end my right is
my right
my right
respect my right
if you want to be my friend
is obvious we live in a selfish world
where care is lesser than before
each sunset
on broad day light
atrocities are committed
like is normal
our usual life are so sow
in a tinkle of an eye
who is to blame
when our right are no more
a reality
when our destines are sold
for peanut on daily bases
so when I fight don't judge
me in a hurry
cos if you can see
the realities in our third world
you will understand
why I must fight for
my right
my right
respect my right
if you want to be my friend
but who cares in a wild world
a world were babies are left
to grow in hunger and starvation
a world were our mothers bleeds in poverty
a world were our resources are
only for the corrupt cabals
a world were crimes are a way
of life like a normal basic job
a world were the innocent are
killed to keep criminals in power
what a world
I wonder how could my right
be respected in this kind of world
I don't need to be told to stand for my
right cos is obvious
in this part of the world
my right must be so hard
yet my right is
my right
my right
respect my right
if you want to be my friend
cos this fire burning in
our dear homes communities
countries
needs a water of peace
is sad that people will
always be who they are
but what is good is good
our demands are simple
yet our realities are hard
confusion are always common
on our common sense
cos the illusion of truth
has stolen our right
devalued our dignity
no wonder our last hope
are always prayers
even when dying slowly
in lies and manipulation
is hard to know the truth
cos too many truths in lies
has taken away our truth
denying us our right
teaching us to accept lesser
than our value
when you disagree
you become a victim
who always must fight
for his right
so in this quest I
am not exceptional
so as every human
cos my right must always be
my right
