"I couldn't stand to see the queen breathe her dreams away
And tell me her tomorrow will never become today
I say I used to know a woman just like you,
Beautiful but jaded by the multitude of men who'd often try to
Justify their lies with twisted notions of survival
And hide behind their armor when karma completes a cycle
She replied
That just because I knew a woman well it doesn't mean I know them all
She begins to bade farewell

Eyes up to the sky, she sighs, I need nobody
True indeed, sister, but you still need everybody because
We hardly know ourselves if we know nobody else
And only in our loneliness can home become a hell"

So let me get this straight.  African football players come to Europe and are expected to tolerate throes of European fans constantly calling them monkeys (if not worse), and throwing bananas on the field when they play.

But now, when European players come to Africa, they expect to be catered to because they can’t handle a couple fucking horns?
