I CAN'T BREATHE ( A RACIST IN ALL OF US)

2020 and we still talking about Racism
People getting stereotype because of their skin color or origin
Remember when you said a people are dirty, or lacking in trust?
The white folks might be at the receiving end today, but there is also a Racist in Us

I remember growing up, we were fed with lots of tales by moonlight, sometimes even during daytime

How one tribe is made up of con men
You dare not go there
We were taught never to smile at them, they are not to be trusted...

What about the other people?
Taah!! They dirty in and out
Dirt has eaten into their souls,it's only rubbish that comes out from their mouth

We were also taught that there are some people worse than snakes
Don't thrunk from the same cup with them, don't befriend them, don't make that mistake


We were also taught to fear North
Every mallam out there got a explosive device strapped underneath their Jalabia

So we grow up believing the men from the East are by no means wise
The Bible must be mistaken
Cos how can the wisemen come from the same East that knows nothing but Kidnapping

We grow up skeptical about people from the North
His name is Yusuf??
Damn!! Drop our loads and start to run

We are all Hypocrites
How we think Racism is a fight between the white and black
But we've vowed never to help a brother who is not from our clan

We all guilty of the same sin
George Floyd was a victim of the society we created
We can trend #blacklivesmatters
But if we can't tolerate our brothers from other tribes
If we still stereotype each other
If we can't marry a girl/boy because they are not from our tribe/church

Then we just as guilty as the people we curse
For we can't claim to fight for justice when there is a Racist in us
