Mr. Africa Poetry Lounge!

JUST AS I AM


IS MY HAIR STRAIGHT ENOUGH
DO I SPEAK WITH THE DESIRED PROFECTION
DO I MEASURE UP TO YOUR REQUIREMENTS
AM I WORTHY OF YOUR AFFECTION


SHOULD I CHANGE MY OCCUPATION
WHAT IF I ALSO CHANGED MY ADDRESS
COULD MY PERFORMANCE GET ANY BETTER
I'M REALLY TRYING MY BEST


WANT ME TO SIT BACK AND WATCH THE OTHERS
OR SHOULD I PARTICIPATE
IT'S VERY HARD TO READ YOUR MIND
I USE TO DEPEND ON FATE


WHAT IF I CHANGED MY WAY OF THINKING
STOP BEING A MEEK LITTLE LAMB
MAYBE YOU SHOULD STOP TRYING TO CHANGE ME
AND EXCEPT ME AS I AM
