Discover the story of the song > Laura – Rapsoul

The lyrics are about a man named Jan who is in a relationship with a woman named Laura. Laura's parents disapprove of their relationship because Jan is a black man and they have stereotypes and prejudices against him. Jan expresses his apologies for not fitting into their expectations and stereotypes, but he also questions why they can't be together and why he is judged solely based on his race. Despite their love for each other, Laura's parents see Jan as a "bum" and don't want him as their son-in-law. In the end, Jan acknowledges that their parents will never understand and decides to say goodbye to Laura.
