The MEGACAUST

They stole you from your countries, cities, states and lands

Never will they be able to wash your blood off of their hands

The torture, murder, oppression and pain, and all the lives we lost

Can best be summed up in one phrase, that phrase:  

THE MEGACAUST

It defines Black People's fight against evil, a maddening odyssey

Against treachery unmatched in the annals of history

A nightmare, daymare, madness, sadness, labor that was free

The Megacaust is the story of what happened to you and me

 

The sad attempt to minimize this despicable era in time

Makes you wonder exactly what could be inside their minds

Maximum exposure and maximum truth is what we need to win

To ensure another Megacaust never happens again

 

Not 1 million souls were taken, not 10 or 20 years

Of suppression of life and liberty, and an ocean full of tears

Over 100,000 million souls were taken, in over 400 hundred years

Men, women, children, raped and murdered and kept in a state of fear

 

Forced enslavement, even the bravest, forced to work for free

Through 25 generations forced to live in abject poverty

Evil heaped upon them, the 10 Commandments tossed

The worst in human suffering, it’s called the Megacaust

 

From African countries like Mali, Angola and Niger too

Greedy european countries hatched treacherous plans against you

The ruthless portuguese,  british, dutch and Spanish too

Had one thing in mind – free profit while dehumanizing you

 

The Megacaust was terrible, it spread to many lands

Like the United States and Brazil, Venezuela and the Caribbean

Why did you have to steal Human Beings just to fill your table

You could have done this work yourselves, surely you were able

 

Take everything we ever had, even our hopes and dreams

Work us to death, forever, through generations it was deemed

But if we can’t have freedom, what are we living for

The battle against this insane greed we’d wage forever more

 

Let no man ever say that what befell them could be equal

To the absolute savagery heaped upon the Black man and his people

Never say it was just slavery, the truth cannot be glossed

It was much more than slavery, it was the Megacaust

It was the Megacaust, it was the Megacaust, it was the MEGACAUST!
