I said my girls from Kenya

They said "why" 

I said I like her 

 

They said shes black

I said I know

I'd noticed that

 

They said date yer own type

I said what

You mean white?

 

They said have respect 

I said we do

Yer right, that's correct 

 

They said what yer got to share ?

I said lots

Laughter, company, we don't care

 

They said it'll turn to shit

I said why?

Do you want us to split?

 

I told her what they said

She was upset

Cried, stayed in bed

 

She calls me mzungu

Swahili for white

But it's not about colour, right?

 

We ordered ice-cream in a hotel

Came vanilla n chocolate 

We both laughed like hell

 

So I told her....

We're better than them

Even with different skin

They're colour blind....like us

It's early days, just a glance

Not accepting racism, will give us a chance
