about

An ancestor by any other name is still an ancestor

lyrics

They set out to sea
To see what it could be
'Cause they had a need
A hunger to feed
Homeland wasn't a home
So they sought the unknown
Wanting to belong
But they sang a different song
Had it in their minds
Everything I see is mine
That gave them the spine
To commit crime after crime

Some call them Ancestors
While some call them Colonizers
But whatever moniker you prefer
Remember they're humans first
Some call them Liberators
While some call them Devastators
Whichever moniker that you prefer
Your Ancestors laid the groundwork

They thought life was cruel
So they lived by those rules
To us they look like fools
When we could use them as tools
The Quicker Mucker-Uppers
Found out so you don't discover
That terror has no cover
And fear has few true lovers
We had it in our minds
Everything we see in time
Has no relation to our crime
But the results are divined
What you reap
Someone sowed
Stop acting like you don't know
How you got the privilege
To act like you're better
'Cause

Some call them Ancestors
While some call them Colonizers
But whatever moniker you prefer
Remember they're humans first
Some call them Liberators
While some call them Devastators
Whichever moniker that you prefer
Your Ancestors laid the groundwork
