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 the 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 enslaved
Their souls encaged
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 jam your culture down my throat
Say I'm inferior when upon it I 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

Yes, yes y'all, and you don't stop
Shedding light on the darkness of greed
Yes, yes y'all, and you don't stop
Shedding light on the darkness of greed

btw in the description it seems that u missed out that this is off the original 1991 mixtape. And is this the studio version or a live version?

[ratm50101]

live version, as in the studio version he does not roar right after the third paragraph of lyrics.

[pRaIrVkEoRur]

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

@Thejadestorm2012 courious, you hate white people in general and you are listening ratm..., what do you think about Timothy Robert Commerford, (bass),and Brad Wilk, (drummer),so? or about Mary Morello, the italian-irish mother of tom morello, (guittar)?, or about Olivia de la Rocha,the German-Irish mother of zack de la rocha, (vocalist)? white people have done very bad things to other ethnics in different times of history, but other ethnics too,study the history of aztec or inca imperiums 4.e.x

[Nemesisimo]

@Thejadestorm2012

Greetings from Austria, Europe! Keep that rage flowing!

[hillehai]

@Thejadestorm2012 Are you actually calling the whole of Europe racist? That's fucking crazy, and pisses me off since I'm European myself. If you ask me, you're the one who seems to be racist. Do YOU even have a conscience? I mean, considering this crap comment you've written, I wouldn't think you had one.

[FFRoobrT]
