I stole from no one
nor covet any of my neighbours' goods
I did not despoil their daughters sisters or mothers
nor *** traffic their lost and lonesomes in Taxi gangs
I worked and every penny was from earnest and honest toil

But hey they decided
I was to be labelled the Germ man
apparently I had dared to thrive on their soil
It was herald I am a parasite ******* from the poor
and behold more wily than nilly I was to lose everything

Without further ado
smears started my name became mud
with due machinations my career was in tatters
poisonous interventions soon put paid to my relationship
character assasination brought disrespect humilation et isolation

I was told I'm greedy
nothing said about ivory victimization
the neighbour that broke in and robbed my goods
or the harrassments bullying and attempts at extortion
or accusation I think I'm better cos I repelled Joan's advances

Past and present
same old story same old heinous ways
cos my colour is different and you have no conscience
you twist smear distort misinform and fabricate to oppress
you renounce the True God to proclaim you're gods et goddesses

Standing, still I rise
in Light my soul shines strong
all you harvest will in time come to harvest you
unreals are masters in knowledge of arrogance and ignorance
my self worth not in barter at the atlar of greed injustice or violence
