Why can’t we all just get along?
We all celebrate harmony week but still define people as wrong
They say you belong on this land even if you are different
But what they say to your face can sometimes be magnificent

We’ve given you land to hide in, food to eat, and water to drink
But don’t forget that you are still unlinked
They show you that they have self- respect to you and your country
But will always clarify you as the hungry

They do our traditions and claim it there’s
Even though we were the ones who originally danced
We must follow their tune and follow their steps
But be careful to not misstep

Its 2022, and this is becoming a game
At the end of the day, we are all the same
