Full lyrics at:
I’m from a land where there is no regard for human life
Too much strife, and there isn’t what you are assuming are rights
Nobody sleeps at night, in case they’re coming with a knife
You think you’re victimized? Imagine what it’s like
You think you’re hardcore?
You think you’re so tough?
You never made a child shoot his parents with a gun.
You never raped an entire village just for fun.
You never cut the limbs because you didn’t like someone.
You think you got it bad?
You think your life is harder?
You never drank from a well of parasitic water.
You’ve never been oppressed by the governmental orders.
You never had to run and leave your mom across the border.
now I’m working everyday in a diamond mine
or the cocoa fields, so the west can make a shiny dime.
And all the profit goes into aristocratic hands.
So stop fucking donating because we never had the chance.
and now the soldiers want to recruit me in the rebel cause
– I tell them no, so they stick a needle in my arm
and now my life is just a blur, while the village burns
and when I die, someone else will live to take my turn
Some drugs in Europe are coming from African druglords.
Nearly all genocides in Africa involved arms shipments from developed nations.
Just Remember, there’s a lot of oil all around Africa.
You think you’ve got power?
You think you’re much stronger?
You never killed the people with a Chinese helicopter.
You never made an egg worth a hundred billion dollars.
You never had a slave chained inside a small locker.
You think you’ve seen it all?
You think you’ve had the worst?
You never circumcised a human just to see the hurt.
You never had to live a day upon this side of earth.
You never had to leave your little comfortable world.
so now you know my story, and you see I got a run, because my time isn’t done
Everybody’s looking for me since I never made the cut, too dark too light, doesn’t even matter cause I’m
Looking for a way that I can start a new life, and I slew a lot of people just to make it to the line
So I’m not turning back, no I can’t go now, cause once the men behind the curtains find me, I’m going down
stop talking like you even try to understand, cause your mind isn’t dead,
I’m running through the jungle just to make it to the next plane
Armed forces try to kill me with machetes
I had to leave my family and everything I built
If you didn’t have one, then you prolly had to kill, just to make it out alive and never die at their will try to run for the hills
And so we’re trying to escape
but they’re saying it’s too late
they don’t want to fuck with us
or work a job for seven bucks
anything to stay alive
The protocol will make me die
and now you see we’re forced to hide
there’s no escape from what’s inside
how could they tell me that I am illegal
when everyone that I know doesn’t believe in
the law?
All that I wanted to be was free from the arms.
You see the scars?
They come from a knife
That threatened to kill me in front of my wife
The blade was laid with blood and aids
They say he raped and paid the raid.
I’m looking for ways that will cope with the suffering
Sorry is never enough for the punishing
Men, –
who got away clean
The hague still hasn’t made a decree
Probably cause they wanted the oil
It’s a fiasco for the nobles
Until it’s over
Since they left a power struggle
Chorus
