Debris Lyrics
Spread power with wordsThe gold that you stole
The pillage and the plunder
Is it any wonder that we're here?
It ain't no mysteryThe fighting and the shooting
That's the real history
We're only here 'cos you were there
Consequences of your global pillageI never had the feeling to either destroy or conquerI sift to the debris you left in your wake
When you pushed us in to third place
When the truth is uncovered and the story's been told
You won't be able to look me in the faceWe're only here 'cos you were there
Here in england a global village
Consequences of your global pillageMaster D chat it upI sift to the debris you left in your wake
When you pushed us in to third place
When the truth is uncovered and the story's been told
You won't be able to look me in the faceYou treated my mother's land
Just like one big plantation
You did this to the African
You did this to the AsianFamine was caused not by God but taxation
The fruits of our labor were used to build your nation
Sucking us dry
Our country's natural juiceYes, our underdevelopment was caused by your abuseGonna check the missing pages
We'll be adding up the numbers
We'll be looking for witnesses so they can tell our brothers
We'll be using the technology
Jammin' with it consciously
We are gonna spread power with words
