We Refuse
we refuse
we see all that passes
our ways are not guilty
not even our dreams are empty
cos they don't want our existence
despite our right
despite our contribution to mankind
all that passes
are not our redemption
we refuse
we feel all that passes
cos we see them
some are dark
few with light
cos our days are equal
to digits
in a modern civilization
if we are for real
they will never stop
no wonder always
we refuse
we refuse
we can relate
with all that passes
cos our origin is a
closed chapter
yet it speak to nature
till now
so remove our existence
they also will never survive
remember Africa is the mother
we refuse
we speak about
all that passes
some with the truth
some tell lies
cos the hunters are
their best friend
big home among poor
tenth create a power
within their ugly soul
no wonder even
when we refuse
the hunters
our brother becomes
our enemy
