but I’ve given you more than all I had
you took, turned your back; left me without.
ain’t that just the nature of things.
Of my life. Of my people?
Haiti giving the world all that it had
and then some more
the world took, is still taking
when we reach out a hand
they turn their heads
leave us to our waste.
ain’t that just the nature of things.
Of my life. Of my people?
