My coloured mentality has all my life been robbin' me of oppertunities presented by people not really feelin' me programmed and brainwashed to believe I ain't worth shit just another hopeless quota by doommongers dressed up as sheep for years I could'nt sleep main instigater was indeed my very own pops the world made me feel geneticly deprived history all fed a lie roots scattered from Barbados to Berlin you dare tell me somethin' I don't like I scream "Jy jou n@i, ma se Po#s" and then we fight Can't blame me though it was'nt all my fault my rolemodels as I was growin' up were gangsters with flashy cars sellin' drugs, wieldin' guns born into discrimanation from whites and blacks alike till I realised it was'nt all your fault either your just victims of ancestoral racist circumstance I forgive please accept as soon as I have some cash party's the 1st thin' that springs to mind suddenly you got loads of friends when it's all done you back to sqaure 1 hangover, broke home alone damn kid! you never learn I look to the streets what is it that I see lazy as hell sittin' whole day's in the sun feelin' sorry for ourselves while the world is movin' on procrastination has hit my race worse than hiv, aids that scourge Tik-Tik runnin' a close demonic second every where I go people hold on tighter to their bags as if I'm a crime destaned to happen could expect less cause where I'm from all you hear are murder, rape and drugs feuled by gangsterism Oh shit! pray for our kids Despite all this said don't fall into the same trap assumin' that it's all bad I'ma remain positive till the end all we really need is to come together and start carin' for each other like we did before the 'Group Areas Act' disrupted our spirituality all this said ain't vauled but just figments of an aspirin' imagination that rings so true we got a long way to grow but I'm here for my people of all colours we must unite as one and built South Africa and the World into a lovin' tolearable place and live live as we supposed to Lord please Bless my coloured mentality....
