Debris Lyrics
Written by: Das, Savale, Pandit, ZamanSpread power with wordsThe gold that you stoleThe pillage and the plunderIs it any wonder that we're here?It ain't no mysteryThe fecting and the shootingThat's the real historyWe're only here 'cos you were thereConsequences of your global pillageI never had the feeling to either destroy or conquerI sift to the debris you left in your wakeWhen you pushed us in to third placeWhen the truth is uncovered and the story's been toldyou won't be able to look me in the face .....We're only here 'cos you were thereHere in England a global villageConsequences of your global pillageMaster D chat it up ....I sift to the debris you left in your wakeWhen you pushed us in to third placeWhen the truth is uncovered and the story's been toldyou won't be able to look me in the face .....You treated my mother's land just like one big plantationYou did this to the AfricanYou did this to the AsianFamine was caused not by god but taxationThe fruits of our labour were used to build your nationSucking us dry - our country's natural juiceYes our underdevelopment was caused by your abuse.Gonna check the missing pagesWe'll be adding up the numbersWe'll be looking for witnesses so they can tell our brothersWe'll be using the technologyJammin' with it consciouslyWe are gonna spread power with words.
