Wolve Lyrics - Dead Prez

I'm not a hunter but I am told that, uh, in places like in the Arctic 

Where indigenous people sometimes might, might, hunt a wolf 

They'll take a double-edged blade and they'll put blood on the blade 

And they'll melt the ice and stick the handle in the ice 

So that only the blade is protruding 

And that a wolf will smell the blood and wants to eat 

And it will come and lick the blade trying to eat 

And what happens is when the wolf licks the blade 

Of course, he cuts his tongue and he bleeds 

And he thinks he's really having a good thing 

And he drinks and he licks and he licks 

And, of course, he is drinking his own blood and he kills himself 

That's what the Imperialists did with us with crack cocaine 

You have these young brothers out there 

Who think they are getting something they gonna make a living with 

They is getting something they can buy a car 

Like the white people have cars, why can't I have a car? 

They getting something, they can get a piece of gold 

White people have gold, why can't I have gold? 

They getting something to get a house 

White people have a house, why can't I have a house? 

And they actually think that there's something 

That's bringing resources to them 

But they're killing themselves just like the wolf was licking the blade 

And they're slowly dying without knowing it 

That's what's happening to the community, you with me on that? 

That's exactly, precisely what happens to the community 

And instead of blaming the hunter who put the damn handle 

And blade in the ice for the wolf 

That's what happens is the wolf gets the blame 

Gets the blame for trying to live 

That's what happens in our community 

You don't blame the person, the victim, you blame the oppressor 

Imperialism, white power is the enemy 

Was the enemy when it first came to Africa 

And snatched up the first African brothers here against our will 

Is the enemy today and that's the thing that we have to understand
