Greed!
|
Causing innocent blood to flow
|
Entire culture, lost in the overthrow
|
They came to seize and take whatever they please
|
Then all they gave back was death and disease
|
My people were left with no choice but to decide
|
To conform to a system, responsible for genocide
|
Responsible for genocide
|
Responsible for genocide...
|
|
Spoken:
|
'AIDS is killing the entire African nation
|
And a vaccine is still supposedly under preparation
|
But these governments they don't mind the procrastination
|
They say "We'll kill them off, take their land and go there for vacation."'
|
|
My people's culture was strong, it was pure
|
And if not for that white greed
|
It would've endured
|
My people were left with no choice but to decide
|
To conform to a system
|
Their minds enslaved
|
Their souls encaged
|
I feel the rage
|
It's brutality can never be undone
|
But the sun is not yet set
|
The bass and drums and microphones a threat
|
That's when ya investigate the crimes from the inside
|
And see that they're responsible for genocide
|
Responsible for genocide
|
Responsible for genocide...
|
|
Ya cram ya culture down my throat
|
Say I'm inferior when I find that I choke
|
Ya fill my mind with a false sense of history
|
And then you wonder why I have no identity?
|
Well I'll strike a match and it'll catch and
|
Spread the insight we need
|
A tiny fire, burning bright
|
Shedding light on the darkness of greed
|
|
A yes yes y'all
|
And ya don't stop
|
Shedding light on the darkness of greed
|
|
A yes yes y'all
|
And ya don't stop
|
Shedding light on the darkness of greed
|
