i am what i am

i am the voice of my mother,

i am the son of my father,

i am the helper in the eyes of the helpless,

i am the lion in the jungle,

like a beast i refuse to kneel down to an ant,

i am what i am,

i refuse to surrender myself to racial taboo,

i refuse to live under the backet system life,

i am what i am because of my creator,

i am what i am because of my believe,

love,pain, race and feminism will pass ,

but i refuse to pass,

my life will be a mirror to my brothers,

i am an African,

i am black outside and i am black inside,

my pride defines my thoughts,

my thoughts induce my utterance,

for i am the son of the african sun,

i can not finish to talk without knowing my enemy,

you the thorn in the heart of my people,

you ...you poverty,

my cousins are starving and dying,

let the lord hear my cry,

for the pains and grievience of africa are heavy,

my shoulders are tired,

Aids himself took what i valued more than gold,

that one thing i wanted a million,

that my brother that my sister,

i can not refuse to be mother son,

nor should i refuse to be my father son,

i am what i am ,

i am a prisoner of love,

i raped my self to care about my africa,

i am an african,

i am what i am.
