I am the
better man I say I am
Born and
breed in African
Grew up without
a daddy figure
And came
from a little home and had a lovely mother
You see, ma
story is never going to be a riddle
Just like
Adam’s evolution cradle
For my life
is going to change like the way K.K. Kabobo changed into an apostle
Oh yeah this
is the real gospel
I am the
better man I say I am when I look at the contribution of my forefathers
Pioneers and
pacesetters who created a path for us follow
After a long
struggle shedding blood, tears and sorrow
So that we
the future leaders can build a future tomorrow
You see, I
am the better man I say I am when all I think about is success being a step
away
So I am able
and determined to make a journey which I start yesterday
And whenever
the sun shines, I don’t forget to make hey
Now I am the
better man I say I am when I can clearly differentiate between fried rice and
yam
Because I
know my forefathers helped build a big farm
A farm in which
they cultivated SUCCESS, LOVE, PEACE, UNITY and DETERMINATION
And
determination comes when we stop procrastinating, hating, corruption
And welcome
motivation so that we can elevate our evaluation
And build a
strong and a better nation
We are
the colors I see of a brighter future so I will let my words paint our heart
I am the
better man I say I am when I am able to stretch my hands out like the ladder
So that the
needy can rather
Climb on to
the top
You see am
trying to paint a perfect picture
So that when
we shine, we will never stop
I am the better
man I say I am when I am much concerned with the underprivileged, homeless,
street children and those who have been deprived of their rights
You see that
lady out there who always get raped at night
And that guy
out there somewhere who becomes an anti-social vice just so he can survive
So in order
for us to be the better man I wanna be
We need to
think like the Kwame Nkrumah’s, the big Six, the Yaa Asantewa’s
And the
likes of you and me
