I am not who they say I am
I am not what you see on TV
It's obvious that they're lying
I am not what your granddaddy told you about me
I am more
I am more than a vast land of livestock and herdsmen
I am more
I am more than a people who like pork or sex, listen
I am not western, I am culture
I am not oil, I am agriculture
I am not the beggars you see on the streets
Believe me or not, I am not a terrorist
I am not hunger nor starvation
I am the food basket of the nation
I am not illiterate
Now, how can that be?
When I am the center of education
See, I see green everywhere, I am a savanna
I am not a desert, I am not abandoned
I am not the Sahara
I am a break from the urban lifestyle and its horrors
And you'd be right to say we're not only farmers
And I'd be lying if I said I'm not polygamous
I am hospitality, we no bombers
They say numbers don't lie, for sure, we've got the numbers
I am the not just your gateman
I am not just your Aboki, bureau de change man
I am not poor
I am the richest black man on the planet, next to Bill Gates, man
I am not just one religion
I am not just a politician in my region
I've got the power and it's evident
It's why I am not givin' up until I am president
I am not a soldier I am the army
I am not a violent, guy now just allow me
I am not just a cool climate
I am a Plateau so high, you've got to climb it
Stack 'em high, stack 'em high, the pyramids are in us
I am not a place you come to earn peanuts
In a nutshell I am the groundnut
I am so sick and tired of these stereotypes
I am not!
