Colonizers Why You Take Whats Not Yours My Spokenword
Colonizers WHY YOU TAKE WHATS NOT YOURS
Man interest in other lands, peoples and territories and things
What other people got they want it for themselves
It’s there’s you know the rest
Colonizers, it’s not mine it’s all yours
Colonizers WHY YOU TAKE WHATS NOT YOURS
Yet by the time I’m on/in your lands
You gonna give to me
Colonizers, what’s yours is mine what mine is mine
I come in peace, And I where a sheet
Pearly white, freedom blight
It’s the new right
To hold on tight
Unto the night
Beating the salvages blight
It’s all right to enslave them we’re colonizers
It’s all right to behave this way, colonizers
Colonizers WHY YOU TAKE WHATS NOT YOURS
They took an inch they took a yard
They colonized without regard,
Whilst they took they couldn’t see
That human beings are they, and we.
Colonizers WHY YOU TAKE WHATS NOT YOURS
This is their lands this an error
These savages are such a terror,
Claiming this has been found
Where we stand its scared ground.
I freely take without your blessing blood is spilled
What a lesson die you must all be killed,
Truth is land is yours I have lied
I take what I want I as your woman children cried.
Colonizers WHY YOU TAKE WHATS NOT YOURS
The Massacres were heartless cruel
Colonizers enslave indigenous humans as fuel
Rob and steal from the innocence
Take the new founded darken people on slave ships
Wasn’t luxury many died of disease?
With muck and rations small to only tease.
Colonizers so, they laugh
Colonizers so, they scorn
Still, hearing the cries of the slaves they ignore
Colonizers WHY YOU TAKE WHATS NOT YOURS
Still, they entangle, murder enslave wound and maim without remorse
Too sinister colonizers they stay on course to know the source.
Aborigines Africans fight cry out me back home I’m not of here
Where has all the land gone nothing but ocean I peer?
Entire tribe fear,
And they shall learn to respect them there new masters
Colonizers strange men of tan skins
Just what more they are after?
They shall learn to protect new captured beings shall not win...
Colonizers WHY YOU TAKE WHATS NOT YOURS
All of the men, women and children enslaved they wrecked.
By shooting of rifles, whips, or swords few some jumped overboard many witnessed
Man interest in other lands, peoples and territories and things
What other people got they want it for themselves
It’s there’s you know the rest
Colonizers, it’s not mine it’s all yours
Yet by the time I’m on/in your lands
You gonna give to me
Colonizers, what’s yours is mine what mine is mine
I come in peace
And I where a sheet
Pearly white, freedom blight
It’s the new right
To hold on tight
Unto the night
Beating the salvages blight
It’s all right to enslave them we’re colonizers
It’s all right to behave this way, colonizers
