Greed

Causing  innocent  blood  to  flow

Entire  culture  lost  in  the  overthrow

They  came  to  see,  take  whatever  they  please

Then  all  they  gave  back  was  death  and  disease

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  vacation

My  peoples'  culture  was  strong  and  was  pure

And  if  not  for  that  white  greed,  it  would  have  endured

My  people  were  left  with  no  choice  but  to  decide

To  conform  to  a  system

Their  minds  did  slay

Their  souls  they  cage

You  feel  the  rage

This  brutality  can  never  be  undone

But  the  sun  has  not  yet  set

The  bass  and  drums  and  microphone  a  threat

That's  when  you've  got  to  get  the  cry  from  the  inside

And  see  that  they're  responsible  for  genocide

Responsible  for  genocide,  Responsible  for  genocide

You  turn  your  culture  down  my  throat

Say  I'm  inferior  when  you  vomit  and  choke

You  fill  my  mind  with  a  false  sense  of  history

And  then  you  wonder  why  I  have  no  identity

We'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  yall  and  you  don't  stop

Shedding  light  on  the  darkness  of  greed

A  yes  yes  yall  and  you  don't  stop

Shedding  light  on  the  darkness  of  greed
