Never Swallow Your Word

Know who you are Know what to doing Know the right thing to doing Determine where you are going Focus on your doing Your future is in your hand Never swallow your word Trust only yourself People promise and fail Believe in them not Encapsulate to them your difficulty They wretch whit you beyond your imagination Encroach upon your time,your way,your day and our life By telling you to come back latter Deride you when you left Never swallow thy word Go back on your not thus You are the master of your will Make no allay of your will Grope of what you see so high The bliss of your future so high Never swallow word The mind of the people so rest On the leader they elect For the fact they trust with their heart Those are the political elite Who avowed for the public their agenda and their right Scheming the country economy the peoples right Hoarding the country economy aboard Impoverished brothers and sister in home land Swallow the oath they made to their land Boosting the economy of white land With their **** at home their head aboard They let their will to govern them With the selfish interest they have Never swallow your word You that are congenial with them In a way or the other Promise and never fulfil And restricted your rightful did You have swallowed you word Never swallow your word
