Open Mic: African History X

......yeah, i know, shut up and keep it movin'

 

 

time for sumthin deeper
............


Respect the dark continent, its forests and its desserts, you…
Never knew the truth about Portugal’s professional…
Colonists that conquered it, exported all it’s vegetables
The viciousness of this left orphans with no legs to move
No leadership, no structure, they resorted to electing goons
Adapting to corruption, more for a selected few
Africa’s destruction ain’t morally acceptable
Presidential runners need orders of protection too
Governments are crumbling extorted by the rebel troops
And no we can’t rewind the tape, the messy stuff could stop
But the diamond trade’s important to some western groups
United Nations aren’t really stepping up a lot
Darfur is a quiet storm, we really need to riot more
A silent war is taking place, don’t let ‘em bust the shots!
Traffickers of arms and the States are in cahoots
Investing in the warfare while training all their troops
They ain’t saving Nathan if there’s no profit to be made
From homicides to genocide to adopting all the pain
Of slavery and world wars, no reparations still
Granted independence but they lead ashtray for real
You can’t just rape the land and just throw it back undressed
It’ll prolly shake your hand ‘cause of post traumatic stress
Yes, they love the west, and they’re in hell with HIV
And we won’t help’ em live like there’s no prophylactics left


you copy?


fuck with it
