The thing is
I had worked them out
long before they started trying to work me out
coming from a different culture
to survive I had to quickly work them out
me and lots of others
we know their strengths and weaknesses
and where their Achilles heels lie
and even better we can call on two cultures
cause we are duo-cultural
while they can only see with one eye
but in arrogance they say they know it all
look around you then
why did the Jews come and made more millionaires
why did the Asians come and opened all your trades
the Chinese came and now people eat more Asian cuisine
than fish and chips
and their children, as also the Jews, Asians and Africans
are all in universities
why do the West Africans make it and the home grown blacks
hardly do
some in the States, where most of the black doctors and Lawyers
come from Africa or other foreign Nations,
Harsh truths hard facts
they had worked you out from the start
while you flounder on your sense of entitlements
talking about power
and who you are ruling
behind your backs they are laughing at you
don't put your blame on me
go work yourselves out first.....
