Frrrrrrr

Hmm, it's so sad Charlie (Oooh woooh oooooh)

This thing got me overthinking (Oooh aaah)

I wanna know (And I don't understand)

Geediz

This thing I wanna know

Ooooh why?

This thing dey burst my mind

Everyday man I dey strive

At the end of the tunnel me I see no light

Sometimes I dey cry

Everyday I see hard time

And when I sit down and analyzed

Ebi like sey to be a black man is a crime

I've been hearing these things ever since I was born

Sey before I go dey enter the kingdom Of God

I need love poverty, I need to hate the world yeah

Bible say,"For God so loved the world"

Charlie tell me, I wanna know if it is wrong?

For me to also love the same thing my father loves yeah

There are people living their heaven on Earth

Having a better life, environment all correct

Good system, health care, everything perfect

And their human beings just like us

See me now I'm living in hell on Earth

Ebi like sey I've been cursed

And after all this stress

Yɛse mambɔ bra papa na mewu a, still I go burn in hell

Tell me why?

Why do I really have to suffer?

Why I for burn in hell fire?

Before I can see my father in heaven

Is it because I was born as a black man?

Is because I was born as African?

Nobody dey respect me

They throwing me banana cuh the see me to be monkey

They say I be dirty

On the street them dey mock me

They regard me as an animal they always wanna chain me

After all this humiliation they say make I no complain

And if I wanna go to heaven I for just endure the pain

I for know sey I be sinner so I always have to pray

Systematical mind game they always corrupting my brain

Oooh why?

Tell me why do I have to die?

Before I can live a better life

While people are enjoying

whiles their alive
