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
