LYRICS:
Verse 1
Them devils came to the village posing as priests stealing children from
their homes took and placed 'em in a school to replace and undo what they
labeled as savage before the gates ya long hair sheared tossed in a pile like it was garbage
stripped down from ya custom attire ya skin scrubbed till it bleed put his
clothes in a fire and bury his items replace 'em with ours give 'em a bible teach 'em to read bleach 'em indeed if he speaks one word of his tongue no songs sung from the
homeland which he learned as a young buck from a old sage in the village to a school made of brick were they plan was to kill 'em save the man was the modo sodomized dramatized
gettin beat - grueling rations when he ate- many died ...
