about

Inspired by the media propaganda blitz that tried to bring down Nicholas Maduro, the democratically elected president of Venezuela, which has the world's largest proven oil reserves. It features white Australian rapper Skase AK, who feels strongly not for Maduro, but for the defence of democracy against US invasion. Skase has always been a radical lyricist, but is usually pretty chilled in his delivery. However, he said the subject matter brought out an anger in him.

lyrics

You've got eight days
You've got eight days to go
(Newsreader): Venezuela's embattled president, Nicolas Maduro, has rejected the European ultimatum that gave him eight days to call new elections. Pressure keeps piling on Maduro, but it appears pretty clear now that he's not going down without a fight.
You've got eight days
You've got eight days to go
(Skase AK): Man, this is Skase AK
No government ever has the right to tell another government
You have eight days to leave
Come on, now
It's for the oil and you don't know
You don't know
Hell
It's for the oil and you don't know
You don't know
Come on
It's for the oil and you don't know
You don't know
Yep
It's for the oil and you don't know
You don't know
Come on
We can stop the war
It's people power
The US can bang on its chest and welcome the last hours
But the internet is essential
And so is your daily speak
Promote the truth and the beast becomes weak
How many more wars do we need
Before we understand the pursuit of oil is only for greed
Come on
This is Skase AK
Now let me give you some truth
Let me give you some documents
Here's your proof, fuck
1965, Dominican Republic
After the aid came
8000 US Marines followed
This is not a game
The real boss of the Lima Group is Mike Pence
And I will not sit on the fence
Juan Guaido was groomed and trained
By the same devils wanting the people to be in chains
And fuck Stratfor
Teaching fake revolutionaries to plan fake revolutions, cos it's war
Come on
John Bolton and McCabe
You want their oil
Be honest instead of creating political puppets
Fuck you Marco Rubio
Stay the fluck out
Represent Florida properly
And then you can wag ya mouth
Maduro is not my friend
He is a politician
He lies daily
For the benefit of his own position
But it's nobody's business
Except the Venezuelan people's
Stay the fuck out Donald Trump
Or you will meet the people
Of Venezuela
You notice how they only ever want to invade and occupy people with fucking oil and fucking... rah
Wake the fuck up!
Peace!
Skase AK
