Darkness

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

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 y'all and you don't stop

Shedding light on the darkness of greed

A yes yes y'all and you don't stop

Shedding light on the darkness of greed
