2400
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!
