Darkness 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, its 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

Yeah!
