Blowing Up the Congo by Petite Noir Lyrics
[Verse 1: Petite Noir]
Do you know what it feels to live in between
The rubble of your dreams while you intervene?
You've totally misunderstood
[Verse 2]
Quite frankly you're just an arrogant
Arrogant greedy mother, father, in my eyes
[Verse 3]
Destruction of humans
Taking us for granted
You've totally misunderstood
You've totally misunderstood
Oh
[Refrain]
They're blowing up the Congo
They're blowing up the Congo
Oh what a surprise!
They're blowing up the Congo
They're blowing up the Congo
Oh what a surprise!
[Verse 4: Saul Williams, spoken]
What are you surprised? Master slave binary cobalt rubber refinery colonial mentality fed into machines, dissect the engines and devices, not just the precious stones that make them run, but the naming of the parts where one has uni-directional control over the others, one part of the engine is called the master, the other parts are called the slave, the word 'robot' means slave, the fear that the slaves would learn too much and takeover is the the fear that the robots would learn too much and takeover, takeover the minds of the Congo, South Africa, Mozambique, Zambia, Guinea, Nigeria, Senegal, Botswana, Angola, Ghana, Tanzania, Namibia, Mali, Egypt, Libya, Algeria...
Oh what a surprise, fear of Africa and AI
[Refrain: Petite Noir]
They're blowing up the Congo
They're blowing up the Congo
Oh what a surprise!
They're blowing up the Congo
They're blowing up the Congo
Oh what a surprise!
[Verse 5]
Do you know what it's like when you get to a country and you can't even get in?
'Cause you know what it's like when you get mistreated in a bad country
'Cause you know what it's like when you get mistreated in your own country
[Refrain]
They're blowing up the Congo
What a surprise!
Do you know what it feels to live in between
The rubble of your dreams while you intervene?
You've totally misunderstood
[Verse 2]
Quite frankly you're just an arrogant
Arrogant greedy mother, father, in my eyes
[Verse 3]
Destruction of humans
Taking us for granted
You've totally misunderstood
You've totally misunderstood
Oh
[Refrain]
They're blowing up the Congo
They're blowing up the Congo
Oh what a surprise!
They're blowing up the Congo
They're blowing up the Congo
Oh what a surprise!
