letra de freedom in haiti - professord.us - the dope poet sociey

let me tell you ‘bout haiti in a way you never heard
engaging against those raping the world
take in every word (word!) maybe you heard
‘bout the case we should all be greatly disturbed
the history of haiti is a world treasure
and should be celebrated everywhere as the first ever
slave revolt on a scale so great
they turned a colony to an independent state
but instead of straight applauding n exalting
they’re robbing and mauling and all this dates
back to when france had the nerve to charge
the “ex-slaves” for the loss of the colony cost
and no apologies for all of these faults
root cause of the violence and the poverty’s not
internal conflicts as we’re taught
but this sickness is brought by the outside onslaught
telling you the trouble is due to bad governance
true dat, but it’s never discussed, too bad
can’t discover or cover it in the news that
who gives the dictators power? they do that
canada us france and the uk
back dictators and they all think its okay
long as they get money get paid
poor people stay hungry or get slayed
but haitians won’t take it and neither should canadians
storming the streets and inform the elites
that their won’t be no peace till we all get a piece
war with police till the poor meet their needs
till the starving all eat and the illiterate read
and everybody benefits against devilish greed
and when aristide was taken you
could smell it in the air again the stench of an amerikkkan coup!

chorus:

poor people must be free
fighting for freedom in haiti
we don’t need no lies no hypocrisy
we will control our destiny (repeat)

democracy prevailed and aristide won
in 1990 but in 91
the us backed the coup and military rule of raul
cedras but the sh-t wasn’t cool
he was too cruel even for the u-
-nited snakes so they came with a new
smiling face bill clinton was
like “let me help a brother out…
aristide i’ll make you the president again my friend
all you gotta do is sell your country out”
but a real leader couldn’t be pushed around
so they had to mush him george bush him down
in two thousand and four bush sent troops
right down to the door kidnapped the president and
lied to the world depriving the poor of
the authority they’re rightfully rioting for
with friends like these who needs enemies guns
when un’s k!lling poor people in the slums
unarmed women and children slaughtered
this is what they call restoring order
canuks think their government is coming with peace keeping
keep reading the papers they convey to ya this feeling
but the sad facts of the matter are
canada acts as a vampiya
corporate interest and foreign investment
morbidly profit off war and oppression
we shouldn’t just cancel the debt its crazy
reverse the debt and pay it back to haiti
in 06 préval prevailed and it’s evident
they’re already trying to discredit the president
but ‘round the world we shout out daily
canada, us, france out of haiti!

(chorus)
