Me, an Adivasi struggles and suffers
In the cruel world
I struggle in getting access to the government
employment and education
People accuse me of being ugly and disgusting
But I am just trying to get people’s respect
Suffer through violent hate crimes and ethnic discriminations
I work so much no one gives me respect
I work harder still no one gives me respect
The world is a cruel place
People come in our tribe
They kill us, torture and harass us
We grow crops for our families
But the government comes in and destroys all of our crops
Our ladies work hard on the streets
Then men come in and ruin their work
The world is smart
The world’s people are smart
But the people don’t use their smartness properly.
