Greed |
|
Causing innocent blood to flow |
|
Entire culture lost in the overthrow |
|
They came to see, take whatever they please |
|
Then all they gave back was death and disease |
|
People were left with no choice but to decide |
|
To conform to a system responsible for genocide |
|
Responsible for genocide, responsible for genocide |
|
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 peoples' culture was strong and was pure |
|
And if not for that white greed, it would have endured |
|
My people were left with no choice but to decide |
|
To conform to a system |
|
Their minds did slay |
|
Their souls they cage |
|
You feel the rage |
|
This brutality can never be undone |
|
But the sun has not yet set |
|
The bass and drums and microphone a threat |
|
That's when you've got to get the cry from the inside |
|
And see that they're responsible for genocide |
|
Responsible for genocide, responsible for genocide |
|
You jam your culture down my throat |
|
Say i'm inferior when apon it i choke |
|
You fill my mind with a false sense of history |
|
And then you wonder why i have no identity |
|
We'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 yall and you don't stop |
|
Shedding light on the darkness of greed |
|
A yes yes yall and you don't stop |
|
Shedding light on the darkness of greed |
|
