The Reason Behind the Reason
A reason behind The reason
Off to uptown
I flew for an holiday
In a resturant of
The so called v.i.p
I was as I never realise
Not until too many eyes
On me as the Afro hair
I wear speak more than
Their eyes could tell
Oh is free world
Don't worry me
For their is a
Reason behind the
Reason
Why thing are the
Way it is
A reason behind the reason
Like I sit dress with
My native African
Style
all eye never
Stop to flash on me like
Am an alien
Hi where you
From
What you doing
Here
was a question
That never seize to
Keep coming
Close to me was a man
On a black suite
As he asked
How could you
As an African afford to be here
Hymmm......, that trigger a lot
In me
As I reply
Oh is free world
Don't worry me
For their is a reason
Behind the reason
Why things are the
Way it is
A reason behind the reason
Sir take a moment
And take a walk with me
While I show a reason
Behind the reason to what
You might wrongly perceive
With out a notice
Talk a walk with me in
Assumes ion
Oh is a free world
don't worry me
For their is a reason
Behind the reason
Why things are the way
It is
A reason behind the reason
With all due respect
Their is no reason for one
Never to afford what it takes
To survive sir
Do you see those babies
On your tv screen
They could be save
If the greed of man
Fail to exist as it is in Africa
Sir You see that Africa immigrant
On the corner of your street
He could be talented
And use full to his country
but his government cares not
You see all you perceive
About Africa could be
Wrong for we are bless
Yet we lack good men
On the hills of power
How come I can't afford to
Be any where in the world
As an African
How come we lack
Oh Sir is obvious you
Cant observe
You see those illness
Is an illusion
Africa is not guilty
Of poverty
Oh is a free world
Don't worry me
For there is a reason
Behind the reason
Why things are the way
It is
A reason behind the reason
For I to be here sir
Is never a miracle
For the earth is our planet
And Africa is never deferent
Either are africans below human
Oh sir don't be surprise
That I can afford what
You feel is expensive for
A kind like me
Is not my fault to be
An African
For here we are as nature
Permit
Isolation is excluded
In the world of nature
All you see sir about
Africa got a reason
Why is that way
Here you see sir
That for all you
Perceive as truth
Their is
A reason behind
The reason
It is what
It is
Oh is a free world
Don't worry me
For there is a reason
Behind the reason
Why things are the
Way it is
