It takes a million people
|
To build up a good reputation
|
But it takes one stupid fool
|
To destroy everything they've done
|
The world knows your people as
|
The most violent in the world
|
The world knows your nation as
|
The most oppresive in the world
|
Take it upon yourself
|
To restore your nation's dignity
|
yo ho ho ho ho ho ho
|
it takes you to teach the world
|
that is why i gotta say
|
wherever you go....
|
|
|
Chorus:
|
Teach the world
|
Teach them right
|
|
It takes a million lives
|
To get the respect you deserve
|
When people see your kind
|
Some of them would run a mile
|
The world knows your people as
|
A nation of crooks
|
Everyone around you should
|
Always keep their eyes opened
|
The world knows your nation as
|
A nation of drug lords
|
Everyone blames your people
|
For the destruction of the world
|
Take it upon yourself
|
To restore your nation's dignity
|
ho ho ho ho ho ho
|
everwhere you go...
|
|
|
Chorus till fade
