Darkness |
| 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… |
| «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 |
| 12bd |
| 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. |
| Yeah! |
