I will stand tall and never ever fall

Matt Starking 1987 (Africa)



I will stand tall
and never ever fall
you can look down upon my ability
and write me down in history
you can curse my path
and make me a mystery
you can curse my name
and put me to shame
you can set me up
and destroy my image
you can wipe out my lineage
and deny me my heritage
you can put me in chain
but you cannot wash my brain
you can master my down fall
but I will stand tall
and never ever fall
