Darkness
Greed! Causing innocent blood to flow Entire culture, lost in the overthrow They came to seize and take whatever they please Then all they gave back was death and disease My people were left with no choice but to decide To conform to a system, responsible for genocide Responsible for genocide Responsible for genocide 'AIDS is killing the entire African nation And a vaccine is still supposedly under preparation But these governments they don't mind the procrastination They say "We'll kill them off, take their land and go there for vaction."' My people's culture was strong, it was pure And if not for that white greed It would've endured My people were left with no choice but to decide To conform to a system Their minds enslaved Their souls encaged I feel the rage It's brutality can never be undone But the sun is not yet set The bass and drums and microphones a threat That's when ya investigate the crimes from the inside And see that they're responsible for genocide Responsible for genocide Responsible for genocide Ya cram ya culture down my throat Say I'm inferior when I find that I choke Ya fill my mind with a false sense of history And then you wonder why I have no identity? Well I'll strike a match and it'll catch and Spread the insight we need A tiny fire, burning bright Shedding light on the darkness of greed A yes yes y'all And ya don't stop Shedding light on the darkness of greed -------------------- "This voice shatters the calm of the day, like an alarm..." --- Zack De Laroca

An easy one though.. -------------------- I can feel them pushing, I can feel them pulling I can feel them holding, I can feel them moving, I can feel them prying, I can feel them prodding, I can feel them breathing, I can feel them digging I can feel them stabbing, I can feel them scoping, I can feel them living, I can feel it, Consume, take in, plunging, plumbing, Instruments prying, aliens inside me, Tooling the machine, Intoxicating, Feel it unfolding, riddles in me |

pretty good, but if your trying to capture the real essence of zack's lyrics ya gotta say what concerns you or what your pissed about without actually saying it. "But I don't need a cigarette, know what I mean?"

Yeah, there are two versions of that song (3 including the Inside Out version, which is totally different) - I only have the one of Live & Rare. They recorded a second version in '98 with No Shelter... anyone got it? I had it, it's a lot better than the Live & Rare version (more hip-hopie).

I agree Stigmata, sometimes that can be quite challenging though...
I guess thats the fun about it! -------------------- I can feel them pushing, I can feel them pulling I can feel them holding, I can feel them moving, I can feel them prying, I can feel them prodding, I can feel them breathing, I can feel them digging I can feel them stabbing, I can feel them scoping, I can feel them living, I can feel it, Consume, take in, plunging, plumbing, Instruments prying, aliens inside me, Tooling the machine, Intoxicating, Feel it unfolding, riddles in me |
