Lyrics
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 their 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 it, I choke You 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
