Foreigners....

You look at me and ask yourself
Who am I?
What am I?

He didn`t need your education
Nor did he need your approval
To be what he is today.

Full of immigrants
Full of ignorance
Full of foreigners
Who will never be white

Why Do You Judge Me?

Why do you tend to judge me
cause I'm of different race.
Why do you tend to hate me

In my own opinion,
You have classified yourself as dumb.

You act as if I'm a criminial

And all this because

is nothing more than envy.
Why can't you just see
that you are not better nor worse than me.
