'And then We were found

The one thing we’ve learned, is there’s one thing for sure

that history is there’s who would write it

 

That those who would rule, would give us their truth

and force us all here to recite it

 

From Ancient Greek cultures, to grand Persian sultans

to empires of Egypt and Rome

and China’s great wall, speaks nothing at all

of culture and history at home

 

Was ours not worth knowing? Our people, our story?

 

Of customs that long had been here

Of a world that was true, and not really brand new

On record for thousands of years

Their history portrays, we were sadly misplaced

When three Spanish ships ran aground

And five hundred nations received their salvation

after waiting so long to be found

But we did pretty good for being ‘lost in the woods

dating back to 10 thousand BC

Our writings were words, not hieroglyph forms

like those found in Egypt and Greece

Our writings have shown, this long had been home

and something the Maya were proud of

For infinite seasons, their garden of Eden

was one they were never cast out of

The Anasazi had built a palace with cliffs

which spirit inspired the thunder

This great canyon remains in four-corner states

A Mecca they simply called Wonder

So why weren’t we schooled of this nation of jewels

with traditions we still remember?

A culture so near that in twelve hundred years

we’d be taking a train up to Denver

Fort Ancients evolved with what they would call

Three Sisters of corn, squash and beans

And before they were found, their Great Serpent Mound

was crowned at Ohio Brush Creek

The Cahokian tribes built their cities astride

the greatest American rivers

One village maintained, and completely sustained

thirty nine thousand civilians

But one of the greatest nations of Natives

emerged from a Nahua reliance

From the Mexico Valley stood a glorious palace

brought forth by the Aztec alliance

The pyramid culture was left for the future

which spoke of the people’s creator

And we’d truly admired the Incan Empire

which prospered around the equator

Before they were found the Taíno were strong

and harvested land and the sea

They used ancient ways for travel and trade

while maintaining the guidelines for peace

For thousands of years, these nations were here

with resources, wealth and with power

Sharing assets abound, before they were found

Before the fruit had turned sour

Then Columbus showed up with three loads of nuts

The Taíno received them as friends

The white folks had thought the Natives were lost

And Natives were sure it was them

Though cordial at first, this visit got worse

They resembled those guests we all know

They wear out their welcome, won’t do what you tell them

and seems like they’ll never go home

On their very next trip they had seventeen ships

and the Natives would soon to discover

they weren’t here to trade, but to kill and enslave

and make riches for only each other

In a four year time two-thirds of them died

a genocide in a full swing

Slaying young and the old, for God and for gold

for them was that’s very same thing

The Columbus regime, was a killing machine

that ruled with terror and fear

This man once admired was finally fired

so brutal he scared his own peers

But his rule still applied that all Natives must die

throughout the Caribbean nations

And a million once strong were soon dead and gone

through murder, disease and starvation

We were much better off back when we were lost

back when we could truly excel

One way or another all Natives discovered

Columbus was sent here from hell

And this is the case to destroy a whole race

with no trace of hundreds of nations

Telling natives in class, enshrined Euro-trash

is honored for killing relations

And by teaching our youth their version of truth

is keeping their legend intact

They're entitled to keep the opinions they reap

but never entitled to facts

And that’s where it’s at, they’re ashamed of the facts

of what they had done to the Natives

they can’t figure out, just how to slide out

from lies that they’ve created

So on Columbus day we’ll rain on parades

To compete with the lies and distortion

The facts they’re bending denies ethnic cleansing

that happened in massive proportions

If it’s Columbus you want, he’s yours but don’t flaunt

by teaching this perjury in class

Though Natives are known for signals of smoke

We don’t need it blown up our Ass
