lyrics

African People’s Socialist Party Chairman Omali Yeshitela: “...that it was the enslavement of African people that gave rise to what we know as capitalism today. There was no such thing as capitalism before Black people were enslaved. The reality is that when we met white people, they were poor. They were chased out of Europe by disease and poverty. They had nothing!”

非洲人民社會主義黨奧馬利·耶什泰拉主席:「…是對非洲人民的奴役才造就今日我們所認識的資本主義。在黑人被奴役以前沒有資本主義。真實的狀況是,當我們最初與白人接觸時,他們很窮。他們被疾病與貧困逐出歐陸。他們一無所有!」

星星之火可以燎原
A single spark can start a prairie fire

雖然革命還很遙遠 資產階級不斷謠言惑眾
Although we are far from revolution and the bourgeoisie constantly deludes the people

群眾倒變火種 點燃後以直報怨
The people become kindling and, once lit, will repay enmity with justice

久經考驗的人民不會永遠這麼好騙
A tried and tested people won't stay easily fooled forever

我讓你瞧見 帝國主義 白人至上主義
I'll show you how imperialism, white supremacy,

資產階級專政如何涉及資本主義
and the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie involve capitalism

這目中無人 殺人如草的現代鼠疫
a contemptuous modern-day plague that mercilessly slaughters

讓你注意被現代鍍金年代掩蓋的處境
I'll make you notice the unfavorable situation hidden by the modern gilded age

炫耀閃亮鎖鏈的奴隸 只會繼續被奴役
A slave who flaunts his shiny chains will only continue to be enslaved

唯有放下精神毒品拿起思想武器自強不息
Only by putting down spiritual drugs, picking up ideological weapons, and striving for self-improvement

才有可能獨立思考 橫掃 一切牛鬼蛇神
will it be possible to think independently, sweep away all "cow demons and snake spirits,"

和搞清到底誰是值得我們流淚的人
and figure out who really deserves our tears

敢於鬥爭 敢於勝利
Dare to struggle, dare to win

在揭穿反動分子的謬論同時為正義發出聲音
Debunking the fallacies of reactionaries as I use my voice for justice

我支持革命 不指望聖經預言的再臨
I support revolution and don't expect the Second Coming prophesied by the Bible

因為創造歷史的動力不是神明而是人民
because it is the people, and not gods, that are the motive force of history.

“The Portuguese has stolen seven-hundred tons of gold from Africa. I know the British went into China in the 1800s, and fought a war to turn the whole Chinese nation into a nation of junkies, forcing them to take drugs, and that drug money went back to Britain building what we now know as capitalism.”

「葡萄牙已從非洲偷走了七百噸的黃金。我所知的英國,它在 19 世紀進入中國打了一場戰爭,把整個中華民族變成毒蟲,強迫他們吸食毒品,再把販毒收入帶回英國健起我們今日所認識的資本主義。」



星星之火可以燎原
A single spark can start a prarie fire

是什麼樣的條件讓少數人享有世外桃源般的美麗人生?
What conditions enable a minority to live a beautiful life in a heaven on earth?

這就是階級鬥爭的焦點
This is the focus of class struggle

想想這種生產關係該被調解還是消滅
Think about whether such production relations should be reconciled or destroyed

必須了解 反動勢力早就致力於執行階級鬥爭
We must understand that the forces of reaction have long been committed to engaging in class struggle

而不是造反的人民懷有覬覦之心
it is not the rebelling people who cast greedy eyes on others

當我們面臨的敵人基於私利下反人類的指令
When we face enemies willing to make commands harmful to humanity out of self interest

我們必須自立自強 千萬不能繼續自欺地等待
we must stand on our own feet, and we cannot continue to deceive ourselves

改過自新的壓迫階級自行退出歷史舞台
as we wait for a repentant oppressing class to withdraw itself from history

改良主義是革命的死因
Reformism is a killer of revolution

要麼是社會主義 否則是野蠻狀態
We can have socialism or barbarism

「第三條道路」帶來的災害 我們永遠不能忘懷
We can never forget the disasters brought upon us by "the third way"

革命無罪 造反有理
Revolution is not a crime, it is right to rebel

當別的饒舌歌手狂吹資產階級牛屄
As other rappers suck off the bourgeoisie

我毫不猶疑打破這套路 反正我沒有偶像包袱
I break norms without hesitation, it's not like I have the burdens faced by idols

再加上一切反動派都是紙老虎
plus all reactionaries are paper tigers.


“I know the French invaded what is known as Vietnam, and turned Vietnam into a country of addicts, forced the Vietnamese people to use drugs; and all of the resources and most of the loot coming from Vietnam into France came from drug money. I know that African people were kidnapped and thrown all around this world, and it was in fact trade in Black people that was a condition for giving rise to this system that they know as capitalism, that we refer to as white power.”

「我所知的法國,它侵略我們所認識的越南,把越南變成毒蟲國家,強迫越南人民吸食毒品。且從越南運到法國的所有資源、與掠奪的戰利品,其根源都來自於販毒收入。我也知道非洲人民被綁架、丟棄到世界各地,而黑奴貿易事實上就是為我們所認識的資本主義提供基本條件,同時我們也稱之為白人霸權。」
