THE BETTER MAN...

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
