Tell me what you require of me? Tell me why are you playing with my dignity? You have sent all type of Tom, Dick and Harry to maneuver my life Stranger, neighbor and family member All are cruel people with material mind They don’t care a dam if I live or die You come in the dead heat of the night Issuing all types of disorder, everyone Knows what’s going on except me Even when I get the victory The person feeling the pain is me The person getting the blame is me The person that has no shame is me You have been hiding behind the doors for fifty six years And following me everywhere with your stupid show You constantly keep spoiling the show everywhere I go You mash up my computers hack my mobile phone And you give the code to the people on the street to bother me Sometimes I understand and sometimes I don’t Because I do not have time to process everything Especially when I am on the go I have always led an independent life And I never had to rely on anyone But since I came to this country I have been facing all kind of misery You do not know when enough is enough you You really enjoy the cuss cuss You delight in causing chaos in taxi and minibus Nobody is saying anything to me All that they are doing is cursing me And cause someone that cannot rule Make me look like a fool My heart is full and my spirit is burning to be in a unique place that is quite deserving I have been holding back the tears that has been haunting me for many days I swallow the spit and tolerate the That was set to pull me down into the pit I tried to cry, I tried to make a sigh but I couldn’t breathe a word Is this what you call culture? Everyone knows what’s going on except me And this has hurt my dignity, I was never part of their show No matter which why it goes The house is turning around And the clown will wear a new crown My heart feels it and my spirit reveals it There is just a few more days to go Before the start of the new show It’s Friday evening And the people are cruising My heart is flaming and the bed is burning No time to loose no time to be confused You have just heard the news I must leave this place before I am bruise Let the new show begin.
