T.I.A.

Drip
Drop
Drip

Scorching sun
Black sweat
White men’s needs
Is a black man’s torture
Killing one another for less than one is worth
A mother weeps
Baby is so unconscious he can pull that trigger
So unconscious he could kill his own mother
So unaware of the real causes behind this…
Because a white woman needs a 5 karat ring

Drip
Drop
Drip

Slavery is never ending
Ignorance, poverty and oppression rule their lives
Ivory
Petroleum
Bling Bling
Bling Bling in America is
Bling bang here
All because she needs that 5 karat ring
Unaware of the many hands that were chopped off for the karats on her ring

Drip
Drop
Drip

But they’ll tell you T.I.A.
This Is Africa
No my friend it is not Africa
It is what we’ve made of it
And the west can sit behind a lens and call us savages
Yet these are the remnants of them raping our continent
Raping our land, our bodies and our minds...
