No Bait (Skit)

Lost in the trap…
An elder once told me all is not fair
Protect what is yours, what’s left we can share
We’re honourable people, Creator, I swear
If all you have is your word, would you use it for prayer?
They eat from your table, then feed you the scraps
They come with offerings to cover their tracks
Egocentric intentions, it won’t be their last
Let the ancestors guide you, don’t get lost in the trap
An elder once told me, our youth is our future
Low and behold, My elders my Luther
With a vision I listen because traditions aren't written
Through the depths of their deception, a red future has risen
They say knowledge is power, I hold my strength in my fist
If they can see colour…can we co-exist?
We want no favours…they want our space
We are power, we want no bait
We want no bait…
