Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
They set out to sea To see what it could be 'Cause they had a need A hunger to feed Homeland wasn't a home So they sought the unknown Wanting to belong But they sang a different song Had it in their minds Everything I see is mine That gave them the spine To commit crime after crime Some call them Ancestors While some call them Colonizers But whatever moniker you prefer Remember they're humans first Some call them Liberators While some call them Devastators Whichever moniker that you prefer Your Ancestors laid the groundwork They thought life was cruel So they lived by those rules To us they look like fools When we could use them as tools The Quicker Mucker-Uppers Found out so you don't discover That terror has no cover And fear has few true lovers We had it in our minds Everything we see in time Has no relation to our crime But the results are divined What you reap Someone sowed Stop acting like you don't know How you got the privilege To act like you're better 'Cause Some call them Ancestors While some call them Colonizers But whatever moniker you prefer Remember they're humans first Some call them Liberators While some call them Devastators Whichever moniker that you prefer Your Ancestors laid the groundwork
