I'm Not Crazy (First Contact)

Twenty-one pounds, twenty-one pounds, twenty-one pounds, twenty-one pounds,
twenty-one pounds
Yeah
So, when Columbus got here, he got off the boat and said to the first people he
saw: «Who are you?"And the first people he saw said: «We're human beings.»
They say the world keep turnin', California’s burnin'
ignited, the thirst for knowledge over the learnin'
The powerful black scholar holdin' a sermon of Gods
It’s probably you with your sword raised in a turban
Columbus said: «Oh, Indians»
The return of the prodigal messiah
The cannibal for makin' remarks, remarkable
I hear some part is the fuel and I was responsible
Of lesser for sendin' that holy gospel through
Columbus is every descendant of the tribe of Europe that came.
This is a
mentality that came, the 'Columbus mentality' we name it.
But in about
discovering this it’s, you know almost like this is when the virus got here.
We go to war when peaceful solution’s impossible
But now when it’s not to be confused with an obstacle
Anyway, when Columbus got here, and he didn’t know what it meant to be a human
being.
«Easy!""So now we’re fucking resisting.
Back up.
Back up!""What the fuck,
I’m standing right here?!
I’m not standing still.""Back up.
Back up!»
Love, patience, brotherhood and unity.
We try and we try and we try.
If they become a threat.
