Invade and topple governments you dislike
\n-regime change
\nBut you’d never accept
\nthe same done to you
\n-how strange<\/p>\n
Then you ask
\nWhy do they hate us?
\nwell…you just bombed their lands
\nKilled their kids
\nrazed their towns
\nbut you don’t understand?<\/p>\n
Do you know what imperialism is?
\nwhite supremacy
\nthinking you’re better
\nEntitled to dominate others
\nto determine whether<\/p>\n
They should live or die
\nhow they should live their lives
\nWhile you broadcast lies
\nslaughter their
\nkids and wives<\/p>\n
Skin color is still the litmus test
\nfor who you think is best
\nNow instead of saying ”us white folks”
\nyou just say ”the West”<\/p>\n
Or ”the civilized world”
\nwho the fuck gave you the right
\nTo police the entire planet
\ndecide other’s quality of life<\/p>\n
A bully
\nworld domination
\nthrough nuclear blackmail
\nWhile the lives of Black males
\nare spent in jail cells<\/p>\n
Who the hell can tell
\nwhat’s real from what’s
\npretend
\nWe BEEN trying to mend
\nour communities
\nsince way back when<\/p>\n
You had just like cattle
\nplantation slaves
\nOn land stolen from millions
\nof Natives you put in graves<\/p>\n
Then segregated us
\nwhile lying to the world
\nClaimed this was a melting pot
\nwhere every little boy and girl<\/p>\n
Could live equal in spite of color
\nyet another lie
\nWhich is the reason why
\nMalcolm X had to die<\/p>\n
He showed the wool you was pulling
\nover the whole world’s eyes
\nAnd refused to compromise
\nin exposing your lies<\/p>\n
Just like today
\nain’t shit changed
\nYou hold a quarter of the world’s entire
\nprison population
\n-ain’t that strange<\/p>\n
For a place that trumpets
\nFreedom
\nDemocracy
\nAnd all the tripe
\nGrandiose lies
\nsmoke and mirrors hypocrisy
\nindustry hype<\/p>\n
But to return to the matter
\nof the world’s
\nbasic rights
\nEspecially those
\nwhose skin ain’t white<\/p>\n
All you gotta do
\nis claim their rulers ain’t right
\nand pick opponents too weak to fight
\nA regime you can overthrow
\novernight<\/p>\n
But in every case
\nyour motives are revealed
\nIt’s their resources you want to steal
\nfor which you’re willing to kill<\/p>\n
But overthrowing their governments
\nwon’t secure your hold
\nOn their lands
\nthis demands population control<\/p>\n
And this is where
\nyour schemes fall flat
\nThe peoples of the lands you invade
\nain’t going for that<\/p>\n
So you end up with a resistance
\non your hands
\nOpposition to your imperialist position
\nfrom every child woman and man<\/p>\n
To protect what’s theirs
\nthey take up the gun
\nThe end result in every case
\nyou turn tail and run<\/p>\n
But you boast the world’s greatest military
\nnow that really seems strange
\nCan’t defend the puppets you put in power
\nwhat’s the point of regime change<\/p>\n
You did it in Vietnam Haiti Somalia
\nAfghanistan Iraq
\nWhy not places like Cuba and North Korea?
\ncuz they can fight back<\/p>\n
But keeping puppets at the helm
\nthat’s your tool
\nOf robbing and exploiting other peoples
\n-neocolonial rule<\/p>\n
So how do we create a peaceful word?
\nyou don’t care nor have a clue
\nWell I do
\ncuz
