One Hundred Thousand Flowers Lyrics by SVDP

Made in Jaffna

2020

[Verse]
Yeah
All highways blocked off, no exits, no shortcuts
Them white flags been blood red, that bloodshed's been soaked up
Squeezed out, poured back in my cup
I toast up, then drink back my bloodline, they tried wipe my culture
They started telling us, "Die", selling them lies, shelling hospitals
Getting by on a daily basis while they murder my people
Underneath the nose of every Pinocchio, politician, news channel, anchor man
Department of police, the whole UN
The whole system they say was made to serve us
Huh? Okay, cool story
Never trust no pig's word
Them lawmakers all bakers, bottom line is cake first
They burnt down our library on that night in June
Them fools had no clue our history is so fireproof
So tell me now, how do I
Show any mercy when knowing that they would've put me up under a body bag?
Body been missing and nobody looking except for the mothers who want it back
This is the part that be getting me wildin'
'Cause now they be selling this island
As something for tourists and telling them
This is some heavenly, marvelous pearl of the Indian
Tropical, vacation getaway, welcome to paradise
Welcome to paradise
On your left hand side, if you look, you'll see
Five star resorts built with mass graves beneath
The breeze is so crisp, the view's to die for
Coming up on my right, we have here what we call the field of a hundred thousand flowers
One for each soul missing with no answers or ancestors
To serve as a witness to what they saw
When the cameras turned off and the killing field started
And the channels went dark, tried to hide it half hearted
But we found all them receipts, now reap the wrath of God
Better not leave your closet open, karma might wake skeletons up
Airing out all your dirty demons, reaper might be creeping up
Let 'em all face that fate they sealed up, get 'em all lined up one by one
When its all said and done, you gonna find out, from God, you cannot run
We've been on the prowl all night up in the six, yeah (We gon' burn it down now)
Looking for some motherfuckin' light up in the pitch black (Burn that motherfucker down, down)
They been trying to shut us down and shove us to the ditch too (It's a new dawn now)
But now we forty deep and they gon' find out what the clique do (You gon' see out how we get down, down)
Bet on blood
That the taste of reparations gets me high
Bet on blood
That the smell of sweetest vengeance gets me riled
Bet on blood
That the flame inside the heart can start a fire
Bet on blood
That we came up with the squad that's down to ride
Bet on blood
That the taste of reparations gets me high
Bet on blood
That the smell of sweetest vengeance gets me riled
Bet on blood
That the flame inside the heart can start a fire
Bet on blood
That we came up with the squad that's down to ride
Bet on blood
