Intro
Five hundred years ago one man claimed
To have discovered a new world
Five centuries later we the people
Are forced to celebrate a black holocaust

How can you call a takeover
A discovery

Mass murderer
This side of the planet
Most people take it for granted
Five hundred and two and still doin'
Give a reason I'm hatin'
October celebratin'
The dead

Of the black the brown and red
Sick an tired
Of bein' sick 'n' tired
don't jump to conclusions
Before I clear the confusion
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
I'm talkin' bout Columbus

Hit me one

I don't hate nobody
I hate that day
Its as crazy as Hitler day

Hangin' heads and snappin' necks
Splittin' up kin
makin' family's wrecked
Turned this planet to a sewer
Provin' to all just a lil' grab
Will do ya
Or do us
So my disgust
Got credit from the ones that
Read it
ain't blind to the fact
Of a whack headline
And if you didn't I pay
No mind

That's how I feel
That's how I feel
This is mad real

But these days
Is crazy as Hitler day

I don't hate nobody

It's impossible to discover a land
When people are already living there

Some thanks for the givin'
When times are hard
and some got the nerve to pray to God
ain't about turkey
and cider that gets me sick
It's that take from the Indian trick
Lookin' pretty grim
When they takin' da pill
From the sucker seekin' somethin' to kill
Now he got a day to celebrate
ain't that a trip
Cause the Indians ain't got shit

May 31st when it comin' it hurts
Remember the dead and it makes me curse
When they don't include 100 million
Of us black folks
That died in the bottom of boats
I can carry on bout the killin' till
Dusk and dawn
And war ain't the reason they gone
Fourth of July a fuckin' lie
When did we ever
Get a piece of the pie
Gotta whole day comin'
Without no pay
Cause a fuckin' job
can't gimme no play
Even had enough I huff and puff
At brothers sellin' the stuff
Takin' in Washingtons
Lincolns
Not they birthdays
Payback for em makin' us slaves
