Indeed black is really beautiful. But the rapper isn’t happy with how some ladies treat it like it isn’t. He doesn’t even see the need for ‘chemicals’ that enhances one’s beauty. He raps, ‘clean the chemical up with your napkin, throw all of that in the dustbin. Don’t let nobody tell you you not beautiful cause you black.’
Sarkodie, after saying this, blames Hollywood for causing this harm. He left only a line for them when he cursed at them. Then, he argued that we are free and shouldn’t allow the likes of Hollywood to hold us back from appreciating who we truly are.
‘In the beginning me and you were stuck on a slave ship, but right now we’re free …’ This is where Sarkodie advised us to push hard because he noticed that we are not totally free. We are still enslaved even though the means are different.
The white man has deceived us to think that the price of freedom is actually of monetary value, so they loan us money in order to purchase the freedom we want and end up enslaving us in the process.
The reason they deceive us is that they don’t want us to be free. And Sarkodie said it just as it is. He raps, … you got to teach a man how to fish so that they can survive for a lifetime but that’s not the wish of the white man.’ Their wish is for us to remain enslaved but God forbid. We have a dream, and that dream is to unite Africa, something Akon has been passionate about.
