lyrics

OUR WORLD IS A GHETTO

AS I WALK DOWN THE STREET
I SEE THE SITUATION
THE PEOPLES FROM PYRAMIDS
WERE PLACED ON PLANTATIONS
AND THE PEOPLES FROM TEEPEES
WERE RUSHED TO RESERVATIONS
DISEASED, DISCRIMINATED AGAINST
AND DISPOSED OF THROUGH STARVATION

COUNTRIES WITH INDIGENOUS
COLORFUL POPULATIONS
HAVE BEEN RAPED AND ARE NOW CALLED
THIRD WORLD NATIONS
THE MOST INTELLECTUAL TRIBES
THAT ONCE STARTED CIVILIZATIONS
NOW STRUGGLED TO SURVIVE
WITHOUT EVEN HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATIONS

ITS QUITE A SHAME HOW CONNECTED
WE USED TO BE THROUGH MEDITATION
UNTIL RELIGION WAS FORCED UPON US
AND WE WERE DEPRIVED OF OUR SPIRITUAL RELATIONS
NATURE WAS ABANDONED
AND FROM OUR OCCUPATION
AS GUARDIANS OF THE PLANET
WE TOOK A PERMANENT VACATION

THIS IS WHY I CRY
OUT OF PURE FRUSTRATION
AS PEOPLE OF COLOR ‘ROUND THE WORLD
LIVE IN DESPERATION
SO MANY SAY I SHOULD JUST
HAVE A LITTLE PATIENCE
BUT AS I TRAVEL THE GLOBE
I KNOW THERE’S NO TIME FOR HESITATION

OUR WORLD IS BEING DESTROYED
DUE TO LACK OF MOTIVATION
WE ARE THE ORIGINALS
SO IT’S TIME FOR CONCENTRATION
REALIZE, OUR DEMISE
WAS CAUSED BY OUTSIDE INFILTRATION
WHICH IN MY INTERPRETATION
IS WHY, DUE TO CAUCASIANS
OUR WORLD IS A GHETTO...
