Before We Know It

We've got to fight for our interests,
And way of life.

We must continue to fight for our rights,
And maintain our dignity...
Throughout this crisis.

'He's too arrogant.
Too sharp and too wise.
He's too likeable and popular.
Too possessed with leadership qualities.
Sincere and honest and disciplined too.
And extremely intelligent as well.
He is just too efficent!
Too capable, responsible and accountable,
For his actions.
And yet he can not produce for us,
A video tape of his birth.
Or the moment of his conception.
Who here can say they have actually seen him,
Use any toilet, brush his teeth or has seen him nude! ?
How do we know he is who he says he is?
Besides that African connection!
Today...
Everybody wants to go back to Africa.
Nobody knew the place existed,
Before Bo Dereck created the braid and dread lock look!

We must protect and fight for our interests!
Before we know it...
They will be claiming and taking away,
'All' of our creations!
Including our electronic gagets..
And foreign cars we love to drive.'
