Take up the White Man’s burden—
Commit a deed so vile
Turn upside down their freedoms
Unrestrained, you beguile
In silence you creep and prey
On those that bare their hearts
They welcome you in with smiles
You steal their lives in parts
Take up the White Man’s burden
You claim to bring them light
With Western innovation
Instead you steal their right
To be a sovereign people
You think your ego grants
The theft of other cultures
You are not some gallants
Take up the White Man’s burden
And **** those who you mock
Your eyes cannot see color
Only justice that you block
They cry and they cannot breathe
Held underneath your knee
You say that they deserved it
But by whose accursed decree?
Take up the White Man’s burden
And claim to be your own
The talents that you covet
Your bitter farce has grown
But now your time has ended
Your lies have now unfurled
Now you will face as God’s wrath
The judgement of the world
