Thanks for All the Aids - Akira the Don

White man went to Africa with rifles and Bibles

Came back in the 80s 'cause he’s spiteful with a new recital

A vaccine, he spread it all around

Every hut in every village every school in every town

But they didn’t get cured, they just got AIDS

I said they didn’t get cured, they just got AIDS

And soon it magically appeared in every place a poor person was

So watch your smirking cause

Ain’t you wondered who’s been merking us?

Who put the crack in the ghetto?

Who put that crap in netto?

Why charge that much for lego?

Why can’t we let go?

They give us Pepsi, crack or Coca Cola so we settle, get me

So get the right bus, the right bus is priceless

Unite despite they vices and show this world who’s the nicest

Yo, we’re the nicest, ask Dildo’s Rollo

If I was your Skygod I might smite Bono

Thank for all the AIDS

(And the bums and the nuns and the guns and the bombs on the trains)

Thank for all the AIDS

(And the lies and wives of the guys who’ve been dying in spades)

Thank for all the AIDS

(And the crap TV, and for me, and for bringing on the plague)

Thank for all the AIDS

So what you do is you get some shit white rock bands

With trite white wristbands outside are Mormons, a fright

Of Christians the drool in the corners of their mouths is glistening

You can’t hear shit for the whistling

Above all the people and undead Beatle

A hair transplant and a junkie word

Come friendly bombs and rain on Keane

And anyone that’s ever been like featured in the NME

And that includes me

See the world bank don’t do shit for free

So read debt dropped read they see thee

And thee owe they and they own thee

So they got all your water mate

Yo they decide your daughter’s fate

You can’t turn piss into wine

You can’t rub pennies in a wound and expect it to be fine

There are no diamonds in the mines 'cause we teefed the lot

So I’m a be on top of the pops singing

Thank for all the AIDS

(And the bums and the nuns and the guns and the bombs on the trains)

Thank for all the AIDS

(And the floods and the blood and the drugs

And the banning all the raves)

Thank for all the AIDS

(And the Asian flu, and for you, and for making us slaves)

Thank for all the AIDS

Oh pray for me Methodist 'cause I fear the rapture

Coming atcha like Cleopatra

Oh you could never capture

The Donovan’s stature

I’m evil on the mike like Margret Thatcher

Ook, made you look, bombs like a nuke

I’m truer than the gospel according to my mate Luke

It says here that the Skygod wants to kill you if you’re queer

Or If you’re a Jew or you’re an Arab a miner in a hole

Or if you are a dog because you haven’t got a soul

Or if you are a dead baby

(Ha, ha)

You should count your stems and see how lucky you are

So if your kids are on Ritalin you are

Twelve times worse than the worst crack whore

I can say this 'cause I’m sure, you ain’t shit we’ve been advised

To quit but we ain’t taking the piss when we say

Thank for all the AIDS

(And the bums and the nuns and the guns and the bombs on the trains)

Thank for all the AIDS

(And the lies and guys with no lives who’ve been dying in spades)

Thank for all the AIDS

(And the crap TV and for me and for making us slaves)

Thank for all the AIDS

Thank for all the AIDS

(And the bums and the nuns and the guns and the bombs on the trains)

Thank for all the AIDS

(And the floods and the drugs and the bloods

And the banning all the raves)

Thank for all the AIDS

(And the avian flu, and for you, and for making us slaves)

Thank for all the AIDS
