Lyrics

[00:32.64] Greed!
[00:33.75] Causing innocent blood to flow
[00:35.57] Entire culture, lost in the overthrow
[00:38.07] They came to seize and take whatever they please
[00:40.36] Then all they gave back was death and disease
[00:42.91] My people were left with no choice but to decide
[00:45.98] To conform to a system, responsible for genocide
[00:49.58] Responsible for genocide
[00:52.78] Responsible for genocide
[00:58.08] Responsible for genocide
[01:05.18] AIDS is killing the entire African nation
[01:07.83] And a vaccine is still supposedly under preparation
[01:15.39] But these governments they don't mind the procrastination
[01:20.42] They say "We'll kill them off, take their land and go there for vaction."
[01:26.11] My people's culture was strong, it was pure
[01:28.58] And if not for that white greed
[01:30.33] It would've endured
[01:31.48] My people were left with no choice but to decide
[01:34.27] To conform to a system
[01:37.24] Their souls encaged
[01:37.94] Their minds enslaved
[01:39.00] I feel the rage
[01:40.04] It's brutality can never be undone
[01:42.39] But the sun is not yet set
[01:44.79] The bass and drums and microphones a threat
[01:47.40] That's when ya investigate the crimes from the inside
[01:50.30] And see that they're responsible for genocide
[01:54.26] Responsible for genocide
[01:56.79] Responsible for genocide
[02:41.63] Ya cram ya culture down my throat
[02:43.58] Say I'm inferior when I find that I choke
[02:46.33] Ya fill my mind with a false sense of history
[02:49.24] And then you wonder why I have no identity?
[02:51.96] Well I'll strike a match and it'll catch and
[02:54.72] Spread the insight we need
[02:56.16] A tiny fire, burning bright
[03:00.36] Shedding light on the darkness of greed
[03:03.50] A yes yes y'all
[03:04.65] And ya don't stop
[03:05.95] Shedding light on the darkness of greed
[03:08.85] A yes yes y'all
[03:10.01] And ya don't stop
[03:11.66] Shedding light on the darkness of greed
