What happened to ubuntu?
What happened to the times when a black man never wanted to see a black man suffer?
Kindness at its finest
Slavery never left
But ubuntu has
Now we are left with the mentality of every man for himself
Oh mother Africa what have your children become?
Is it fear or anger?
We choose to be blind
Slavery never left
Manipulated by our own people
Followers of the system
It’s time to be free
It’s time to fly
Free as a dove
Free like the air that cools you down
We say we’re free
Slavery never left
The door has been open
But we’re afraid to go in
What have they done to us?
Or what have we done to ourselves?
Why have we stopped caring ?
Give a black person math and he will fail
Give a black man a gun and he will shoot anyone in sight
Give a black man sex and he will make a whole nation
Oh mother Africa what have your children done ?
We are ashamed of who we are
Why are we scared?
Why can’t we move on?
Why are we selfish?
Slavery never left
Ubuntu is fading
Mother Africa what have your children done ?
