Darkness of Greed - Demo

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
 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 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 souls encaged, minds enslaved
 I feel the rage
 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
 ♪
 You jam your culture down my throat
 Say I'm inferior when I find that 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 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
