Petite Noir, Saul Williams - Blowing Up The Congo Lyrics

Do you know what it feels to live in between
The rubble of your dreams while you intervene?
You've totally misunderstood
Quite frankly or just an arrogant
Arrogant, greedy mother, father, in my eyes

Searching over humans
Take 'ya for granted
You've totally misunderstood
You've totally misunderstood

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

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, one has unit directional control over the others
One part of the engine is called the master, the other part are called the slaves
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 African AI

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

'Cause you know what it's like when you get to your country and you can't even get in?
'Cause you know what it's like when you get mistreated in your sad country
'Cause you know what it's like when you get mistreated in your own country
They're blowing up the Congo
What a surprise
