I’m speaking for the continent
Trying to cure its incompetence
They always fight and kill
With no time to chill
In Africa the guns the king
And it constantly sings
It doesn’t take a breath
Just brings my brother’s death
Come and see the warriors
But don’t try and be their saviour
And if you decide to join the fight
Remember to hold on tight
Because God won’t save you
But he might just spare you

Favorite Quote:
Faith is like learning to walk; you have to fall at first, but don't stay down. When in doubt, don't stop believing.
