Never



I've never known love
Except from Jesus above
Human beings all they do is lie
Except for Africa who does not make me cry
And doesn't make me want to stop staying alive
America and Americans have showed me vinegar instead of honey
And America has showed me clouds of gray while Africa showed me sunny
America will never hurt me again and cause me pain
I realize what I thought was real is all in vain
To be used and beaten like some toy
While all of you watch with gleeful joy
But in Africa I will be a Dr, taken at my word
And my life won't be so absurd
And in Africa as president I will be heard
America heard your call
You told me never after all
So I'm going home to millions of children some that were stolen
But will forever be mine and my brokenhearted soul will be whole
And God's love will carry me through to give africa the cure because there love has been the only thing pure
Africawill be my home
Finally I won't be alone.
So God be with you all
You did not do right by me so I'll watch you fall
And Africa with me will never again crawl what socks is I trusted you all
And you made sure I would cry many tears so I'm done ,I hope you all had fun but this teacher doctor artist and president will be all she can be
Because Africa is setting me free
To clarify I'm not in love with Jamal
I'm just tired of a country namely usa who continues to make me small.
