Actually the song was written after the highly publiscised a stabbing of a British Nigerian kid who was family friends with Kele. (Kele is a second generation Nigerian who grew up in Britain)

Ironic, no? That when there is an incident with anyone who isn't caucasian there is an automatic reference to their ethnicity in the papers. It's always an African-American or a man of Middle Eastern appearance.
