《Maangamizi》歌词

[00:06:27] Maangamizi - Akala
[00:06:27] [Hook
[00:06:27] How many lives have we lost to the Maangamizi
[00:06:27] It's way bigger than the pain that I place on the CD
[00:06:27] If I told you all the truth would you really believe me?
[00:06:27] It's the Maangamizi, It's the Maangamizi
[00:06:27] [Verse 1
[00:06:27] Maangamizi, meaning African hellacaust
[00:06:27] Because we paid a hell of a cost
[00:06:27] And don't really know what was lost
[00:06:27] And the process ain't ever stopped
[00:06:27] Since black civilization dropped
[00:06:27] Through internal greed and external plot
[00:06:27] Same ones that taught the Ancient Greeks
[00:06:27] Greece and Rome helped to bring to their knees
[00:06:27] Then I***m spread across Northern Africa
[00:06:27] With slavery and massacres
[00:06:27] Too many hurt, refused to convert
[00:06:27] Spread South and West and people dispersed
[00:06:27] Christianity is not alone in using
[00:06:27] Race and religion for power to expand
[00:06:27] Desert caravans took slaves across Sand
[00:06:27] Where they staged a revolt of the Zanj
[00:06:27] Enemies always invented mythologies
[00:06:27] Curse of ham, so-called prophecy
[00:06:27] After the migration
[00:06:27] There was some reinstatement of autonomous nations
[00:06:27] Then floating on the waves of the seas
[00:06:27] Came a plague, a genocidal disease
[00:06:27] With arms and heads, they looked like men
[00:06:27] Really they were just dogs on two legs
[00:06:27] When they first came some of our people said "Go!"
[00:06:27] Most welcomed them into our homes
[00:06:27] We didn't know they had hearts of stone
[00:06:27] Frozen by Western Europe's cold
[00:06:27] Also, there were scumbags among us
[00:06:27] Willing to work for white conquerors honours
[00:06:27] And with that collaboration
[00:06:27] Began the largest forced migration
[00:06:27] In the history of nations
[00:06:27] [Hook
[00:06:27] [Verse 2
[00:06:27] How many millions dead at the bottom of the ocean?
[00:06:27] Thrown overboard like property stolen
[00:06:27] Or jumped overboard rather than be sold on
[00:06:27] A mother with her baby in arms, hold on
[00:06:27] What awaited was not just enslavement
[00:06:27] But a genocidal impulse craving
[00:06:27] They committed unspeakable abuses
[00:06:27] To make a n****r from an African human
[00:06:27] Took a woman ready to give birth
[00:06:27] Tied her limbs to four posts held firm
[00:06:27] In a main square made every slave watch
[00:06:27] Covered her in raw meat
[00:06:27] Let off a pack of dogs
[00:06:27] If anyone watching, even a relative
[00:06:27] Made a sound, k**l them for the hell of it
[00:06:27] This was every day, not the exception
[00:06:27] The science of gynaecology was perfected
[00:06:27] On black women, no anaesthetic
[00:06:27] They said a n****r b**ch couldn't feel pain, pathetic
[00:06:27] Hang a man from a tree cut off his penis
[00:06:27] Force people to eat their own faeces
[00:06:27] Put people in zoos, in a cage
[00:06:27] Chimpanzee, black human, ape
[00:06:27] And it was upon this here atrocity
[00:06:27] Europe became the dominant economy
[00:06:27] Now they play games, pretend it's about names
[00:06:27] It's a scheme for unequal trade
[00:06:27] Imagine the largest companies today
[00:06:27] If all of their employees got no pay
[00:06:27] For all of the centuries profit was made
[00:06:27] Black skin was always branded slave
[00:06:27] Even the child of the masters rape
[00:06:27] Could be killed or sold because black blood in her veins
[00:06:27] But the ancestors fought back, got free
[00:06:27] Probably have not heard of Jean-Jacque Dessalines
[00:06:27] Probably don't know the Haitian revolution
[00:06:27] Caused the French to sell half of America
[00:06:27] Nor know the role that Africans played
[00:06:27] In the Civil War for that same America
[00:06:27] If you ain't heard of Nanny of the Maroons or Boogle
[00:06:27] You probably believe what they told you
[00:06:27] But if they set Africans free
[00:06:27] Because all of a sudden they grow a conscience
[00:06:27] Tell me this,
[00:06:27] Why were the slave masters given compensation,
[00:06:27] And those that suffered not given a thing?
[00:06:27] Why did they then invade Africa?
[00:06:27] And make Africans slaves in their home?
[00:06:27] With the Belgians killing 10 million
[00:06:27] Souls in the Congo alone
[00:06:27] Why then Jim Crow, why Apartheid?
[00:06:27] Why did Black Wall Street burn that night?
[00:06:27] Why collaborators will work for such evil,
[00:06:27] Willing to be tools against their own people?
[00:06:27] Why Africom? Imperialism for the new age
[00:06:27] But with a brown face on it
[00:06:27] That's right imperialism for the new age
[00:06:27] But with a brown face on it
[00:06:27] [Hook
[00:06:27] [Verse 3
[00:06:27] Some will try their best to justify this torture
[00:06:27] By asking you who the slaves were brought from
[00:06:27] As if we do not know, tell them "Get the hell out
[00:06:27] Every genocide ever has had sell outs"
[00:06:27] And the largest wars of humans
[00:06:27] Were fought between the people of Western Europe
[00:06:27] So by your rationale it's cool to k**l Frenchman
[00:06:27] They killed Germans that look like them
[00:06:27] Absurd right? But when your skin is white
[00:06:27] Different set of rules you can abide by
[00:06:27] Dark suffering is not humanized
[00:06:27] No surprise, we still see ourselves through their eyes
[00:06:27] Darkies became legally human
[00:06:27] During the course of our parents life
[00:06:27] And the freedoms we have only occurred
[00:06:27] Cos our ancestors spilled their blood to the earth
[00:06:27] They changed that much? Are you so sure?
[00:06:27] The world's darker people still the most poor?
[00:06:27] So it's our task to put an end to this
[00:06:27] Even those like me with our heritage mixed
[00:06:27] If a knife is in your back 9 inches
[00:06:27] And it's only been pulled out six
[00:06:27] When the wound starts healing
[00:06:27] And we stop bleeding and bleaching
[00:06:27] Can it begin to fix?
[00:06:27] When the plague of self hate
[00:06:27] Is no longer a weight so great
[00:06:27] Push you to k**l one another
[00:06:27] When we put a stop to false charity
[00:06:27] That gives with one hand and bombs with the other
[00:06:27] When the IMF and World Bank, along with their puppets
[00:06:27] No longer strangle our nations
[00:06:27] When the invaders don't have military bases
[00:06:27] In so many places
[00:06:27] When the jail cells are not packed with black backs
[00:06:27] And the gats and the crack are no longer factors
[00:06:27] When we celebrate true self-determination
[00:06:27] Not a few token bit part actors
[00:06:27] When the truth is told and there is
[00:06:27] The dignity to remember the dead
[00:06:27] Because as long as they are distorting the past
[00:06:27] It means they have the intention of doing it again
[00:06:27] [Hook
