I'm not a hunter, but I'm told that
Verse 1
C
Em

in places like in the
Em
Arctic, where indigenous
Am
Em
Am
Indigenous people sometimes might hunt a wolf,
Em
C
Em
they'll take a double -edged blade, and they'll
C
Em
put blood on the blade,
Am
Em
Am
and they'll melt the ice and stick the handle in the ice so that
only the blade is protruded,
Em
Am
Em
and that a wolf will smell the blood and wants to eat, and
Am
Em
Am
it'll come and lick the blade trying to eat,
Em
Am
and what happens is when the wolf licks the
Em
Am
He cuts his tongue and he bleeds,
Em
and he thinks he's really having a good one, and he drinks
Am
and he licks an d he licks, and of course he's
Em
drinking his own blood and he kills himself.
Am
That's what the imperialists
Em
did to us with crack cocaine.
Am
Em
You got these young brothers out there thinking that
Am
they're getting something that they're
going to make a living with.
Em
They're getting something
they can buy a car.
Am
Like the white people have cars,
Em
why can't I have a car?
Am
They're getting something so they
Em
can get a piece of gold.
Am
The white people have gold,
why can't I have gold?
Em
They're getting something
to get a house.
Am
The white people have a house,
Em
why can't I have a house?
Am
Em
And they actually think that it's something that's bringing resources to them,
Am
Em
Am
but they're killing themselves just like the wolf was licking the blade
And they're slowly dying
without knowing
Em
That's what's happening to
Am
the community
You with me on that?
Em
Am
That's exactly and pre cisely what
Em
happens to the community
Am
Em
And instead of blaming the hunter who put the damn
Am
Em
handle and the blade in the ice for the wolf
Am
That what happens is the wolf
Em
Am
gets blamed for trying to live
Em
That's what happens in our community
Am
You don't blame the person, the victim,
Em
Am
you blame the oppressor.
Imperialism, white power,
Em
is the enemy.
Am
Was the enemy when it first came to
Em
Africa and smashed up the first
Africans.
Am
Brought us here against our will.
Em
Am
Is the enemy today.
Em
That's the thing that we have to understand.
