Cresciuto lontano da casa
Disperso tra gente non mia
Voglio l'amore non cerco il rispetto
Ho una storia però la rinnego
Vivo altrove non mi interessa..
Se la mia gente, vive o muore..
Se riguarda gli altri sono solidale
Non parlo del Congo ma della Palestina
Sono insultato, maltrattato, bastonato
Non rispettato ma non importa
Il mio padrone mi ha ferito, ed umiliato
Ed io perché mangio pizza
Cerco il suo amore sono fesso
Pretendo l'amore di chi mi odia
Senza manco amare me stesso.
Alika, Abba, Oumar Dia
Mohamed sow, cheikh diouf, pateh sabally
Assange dallo, Samb modou, Diop mor
Gente mia che non c'è più
Uccisi da colui a cui voglio somigliare
Ma non importa, dormo
Non mi voglio svegliare
Ho creduto mi potessero amare
Perché si vogliono abbronzare
Le mie sorelle scambiate per prostitute
Senza parrucche non sanno uscire
Non conosco la mia lingua madre..
Non conosco la mia tradizione.
Mi lamento ma non voglio agire
Per farsi amare c'è chi si schiarisce
Fuori dal locale finti americani
Sui social siamo Afroitaliani
Vogliamo essere tutto tranne che africani
Grido al razzismo ma lo pratico
Sono il vittimismo sono sadico
Semino invidia tra la mia gente
Cerco l'amore del mio carnefice
Amore che manco io so dare
In Sudan la mia gente muore
In Libia la mia gente è schiava
Ma non ci penso non ho onore
L'ho venduto per un pezzo di carta
Non so chi sono, ma fingo di saperlo
Per essere accettato..
SONO AFROITALIANO.
