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 vaction."'
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
