They say the world keep turning California is burning Who reignited the thirst for knowledge Over the learning? Oh wise and powerful, black scholar holding a sermon The Gods is proud of you with your sword raised in a turban. John Trudell: Columbus said “Oh, Indians” The return of the prodigal Sire accountable For making remarks remarkable I hear some artists withdrew and I was responsible. A vessel partial for sending that holy gospel through John Trudell: Columbus is every descendant of the tribe of Europe that came. This is a mentality that came. The Columbus mentality, we name it. But in about discovering this is, it’s almost like this. . .when the virus got here . We go to war when peaceful solutions are impossible. A mountain is not to be confused with an obstacle. John Trudell: Anyway, when Columbus got here, and he didn’t know what it meant to be a human being.
