"Now miles overseas let me paint a scene
an eleven year old boy holds an M-16
shootin' out the door of his one room home
Cuz earlier that night his dad was popped in the dome
Now he protects his two sisters all on his own
Cause guerrillas want the local government overthrown
So he lead them to a ditch, in the still of the night
there were a hundred dead bodies, they hid from the fright
And this happens everyday, different families same plight
But no one gives a fuck cause the victims ain't white.
But everybody makes a scene, when a Midwestern teen
is abducted and its sucks cause she could've been a prom queen
But let the same shit happen off Martin Luther King
And they quickly write it off as some gang bang thing
So imma say what I mean and mean what I say
And I know the race card is a mean one to play
But if one more dies then it's one too many
In these third world countries where they've killed so many
Fuck a third world war it ain't a second away
Where no one knows what we're fighting for in the first place"
