******* Colonization and Greed *******
*********************************************

Your Greed!
Causing innocent blood to flow
An entire culture, lost in the overthrow
You came to seize and take whatever you please
Then all you gave back was death and disease
My people were left with no choice but to decide
To conform to a system, responsible for genocide
My people's culture was strong, it was pure
Were it not for your colonozation and greed
It would have endured...

My people were left with no choice but to decide
To conform to a system, responsible for genocide
Our minds enslaved
Our souls caged
Feel the rage
Your brutality can never be undone
But the sun has not yet set
The pen, the drums, and microphones a threat
That's when you investigate, the crimes from the inside
And see that you're responsible for genocide...

You ram your culture down our throat
Say we're inferior when we find that we choke
You fill our minds with revisionist history
And try to erase our identity
Well, I'll strike a match and it'll catch
And spread the insight we need
A tiny flame, burning bright
Shedding light
On your darkness and greed...
