So here we go,
A story about a man who didnt live long ago
A strong man by the name of okonkwo,
Thought fathers history wouldnt let him grow,
So he sits alone, thinks about his dads legacy,
Unreliable, owed everybody money,
But O didnt want anything to do with it,
He wanted the two to be polar opposites,
If you compared the two
You gonna get smacked, put em in a relapse,
Man party with the palm wine,
And if your gonna do crime,
Steal or do incest, get thrown in the evil forest,
With the twins and no porridge,
Chillen with the leppers,
No jail, so no such thing as a life sentence,
Society just didnt believe in jesus Christ,
Only poor men tiene un uno wife,
Male babies, are just so much better,
Thats what the men say cuz theyre superior,
Cuz males are naturally built stronger,
Theyre needed in the village
To fight the pillage of the whites religion
Chrous(2x)
Hes just a man, who fights where he stands,
Leader of the clan, hes a one man band,
Ended his life way way soona,
Cuz the white men took away his culture,
After Ikefumas death,
Okonkwo couldnt put his memories to rest,
Drank his troubles away, to hide the pain,
Had fits of rage, so his son didnt feel safe
Being around him all day,
Terrified Nwoye, couldnt join his dad in his obi,
Went two days without food,
Punishing himself for something he was told to do,
Maybe realizing some customs shouldnt be,
Even if theyve been around for eternity,
Now change the subject back Nwoye,
By okonkwo pushing him further and further,
He wanted to be less and less like his father,
Resembling Unoka, more and more everyday,
Cuz Nwoye is just so lazy,
Just drives Okonkwo crazy,
Cant believe his son is so unproductive,
When hes been working hard ever since a kid
Wishes Ezinma was really his son,
Cuz shes the one that does everything,
But they both still have the same dad whose a
Chrous
man, who fights where he stands,
Leader of the clan, hes a one man band,
Ended his life way way soona,
Cuz the white men took away his culture,
Hes just a man, who fights where he stands,
Leader of the clan, hes a one man band,
Ended his life way way soona,
Cuz the white men took away his culture,
Missionaries brought with them Christianity,
Nwoye started to think it was very interesting,
But didnt want his dad to know,
But a kinsman found out and told okonkwo,
He beat his son, until the break of dawn,
Only called it fin when Uchende stopped him,
the scariest thing to the villag-ists,
is that the church was in the evil forest,
thought that the gods would be able to take care of them
but they just kept multiplying in the end,
after okonkwos seven years of exile,
Everyone was Christian and held no titles,
The fight had just turned one sided,
The whites pushed em around as if they were a feather,
they put a knife on the things that held us together,
and we have fallen apart
foolish thinking they were nice from the start,
broke okonkwos heart,
to see the culture that he used to cherish,
seem to vanish right before his eyes,
but he was the only one who wanted to fight,
no one listened to the things that he said,
in anger he cut off the messengers head,
with his son a Christian and his daughters all wed,
hed would rather hang himself, then live like the white men,
Chrous(2x)
He was just a man, who fought where he stood,
Tried saving his clan, fought as hard as he could,
Wanted to end his life way way soona,
Cuz the white men took away his culture,
