This song compares slavery with the state of war. It's lyrics open with "FOREVER IN A PLANTATION/DAMN THIS IS WHY I HATE HATE/WANNA DO SOMETHING FOR THE PEOPLE/MAKE US EQUAL." Later the verse states "They need a war to justify the taking of lives, they manage the lie behind the lie behind the lie. Now you can't run and hide it's high tech genocide." This is pointing to the method that the United States takes in war and how our people feel towards it.
