i am the third

world, a term that’s been used to mean the people

who’ve been seen as being sickeningly poor, but

what’s the reason for our lack of power?

the real war we must tackle ain’t the battle that you

heard of on the tv channel, making you think

we’re poor because we’re weak and ignorant, -think again

our enemies would lead you to believe

backward barbaric methodologies are the cause of the

poverty, disease and failing economies, but

all of these are connected to devil revenue

the third world is not undeveloped

it’s over-plundered and under-funded. and don’t tell me

nothing ‘bout conditional loans, hypocritical

money trap, give me ten take twenty back

and force in the corporate clique you endorse

foreign investment is the trojan horse

they role in with force, claiming to be your savior

mcdonalds mclabor ain’t no motherf-cking favor!

neither is your greediness, sellin’ out dated

computers and data to my neighbor!

chorus:

where we’re from is the third world

we’re all part of the third world

in this third world war we must become

warriors of the third world

i am the third

world, but check the s1w, for

another view tellin’ you who is who

in the literature you could take out we were

made out to be barbaric by nature, but

wait sir, how could we be the third when we

ancients? our civilizations pre-date

his. it’s curious, check the

roots of this term to learn it’s significance

ca viens de le troisieme estate

some french sh-t, of tremendous relevance

le troisieme estate is the third estate, meaning third

rate citizens in pre-revolutionary

france. hence, third world is an

-n-logy to revolutionary strategy

two hundred years ago they beheaded the king

it’s time we do the same thing cuz

capitalist kingpins are running things in

to the trash bin, it has been quite

enough, time to call their bluff, imf and

the world bank, y’all stink, we vote to revolt!

(chorus)

i am the third

world, the only thing to be with any dignity

the second has collapsed and the first is the worst in

terms of causing m-ss destruction and suffering

on a scale of which the earth has never seen

that is something you know, but what you don’t

is that third world debt is a great big joke

the whole concept of third world debt is a

great big lie, let me tell you why my

friend, peep the irony, all the luxury of

western society, is indebted entirely

to the ancient sources of resources (slave)

labor and knowledge both technical and medical so

there you go, now the only way to go

is direct unilateral concessions from oppressors

forget about working together ‘cuz ‘give and take’ don’t make

sense when you’re dealing with a bank out to shake you

down for everything. funny thing was you

thought they were brought to help us out

but they just suck our blood, while some sell us out

here’s some history to help sort it out: in the

forties, the founding of developmental studies

was motivated by money, not scholarly study

plus, the us, europe and their buddies

were worried that the commies would sway our countries

to overthrow the global capital cyclops

but since the second world died off, now it’s

my job! down with amerikkka

takin’ ya to the next che guavera era!

(chorus)

i am the third

world, even though i live in the first

i thirst for justice and i side with the earth

the terms ‘developed’ and ‘developing’ are wrong

‘cuz the west has a way more volatile style

disrupting what has been developed and reliable

further polarizing and risingly unstable

i am the third world truly, and due to the

changeable nature and danger, so might you be

you thought you were not ‘cause you were taught these

deceptive divisions, but now in the west

we see the emergence of third world conditions

20% of the world’s people use 80% of the juice

and 90% of the 80% used by the 20%

is controlled by a small number of motherf-ckers

and that number’s only getting smaller

we got corporations, with bigger economies than

nations. think about the implications

the rights of profit making machines, supersede

the rights of human beings. this is not development

so i repeat, unilateral transfer

paying the real debt is the only answer

(chorus)
