Blowing Up the Congo

[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: Petite Noir]
Quite frankly, you're just an arrogant
Arrogant, greedy mother, father, in my eyes

[Verse 3: Petite Noir]
Destruction of humans
Takin' us for granted
You've totally misunderstood
You've totally misunderstood

[Pre-Chorus: Petite Noir]
Oh
Oh

[Chorus: Petite Noir]
They're blowin' up the Congo
They're blowin' up the Congo
Oh, what a surprise
They're blowin' up the Congo
They're blowin' 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 slaves
The word "robot" means slave
The fear that the slaves would learn too much and take over
Is the the fear that the robots would learn too much and take over
Take over 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

[Pre-Chorus: Petite Noir]
Oh
Oh

[Chorus: Petite Noir]
They're blowin' up the Congo
They're blowin' up the Congo
Oh, what a surprise
They're blowin' up the Congo
They're blowin' up the Congo
Oh, what a surprise

[Outro: Petite Noir]
'Cause 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
They're blowin' up the Congo
What a surprise
