in my life 2

As the years move on

I hear the politicians go at it

Without realizing its consequences

That they never know

They are Malaysians since 1963

Yet the political elites then

They kept harping on its 2R

Believing they are born to it

And the supremacy of the race

Now I see its consequences

The zombie followers can't think straight

They don't read history

They follow as they are told

In my life

I lived from kampong to the city

I stayed up on the hill to escape the rat race

I dwelled on the island the easy living then

In my life

I could say the Malays are helpful lot

My form teacher hauled me back to school

The kampong gangster told me not to join gangs

“Don't be like me

I go to lock-up every incident

The police will come for me

Stay away you have your life but I can't”

In my life

I saw the Black Maria came

The gangsters would shout and challenge the police

In the end guns always won the race

In my life

Dreaming is a bliss

But it has its limit

As reality will bite the everyday living
