Never Again

(album: RZA Presents Wu-Tang Killa Bees: The Swarm, Vol. 1 - 1998)

[Remedy:]
For those who know and those who don't
This song means more now than ever before
I represent humanity, my nationality's reality

[Hebrew prayer]

[Remedy:]
Feel this, to all those races, colors and creeds every man bleeds
For the countless victims and all their families of the murdered, tortured and slaved
Raped, robbed and persecuted Never Again
To the men, women, and children who died in their struggle to live
Never to be forgotten, Reuven Ben Menachum, yo
My own blood dragged through the mud
Perished in my heart, still cherished and loved
Stripped of our pride, everything we lived for
Families cried, there's no where to run to, no where to hide
Tossed to the side , access denied
6 million died for what?
Yo, a man shot dead in his back
Helpless women and children under constant attack
For no reason 'til the next season and we still bleeding
Yo it's freezing and men burn in Hell, some for squeezing
No hope for a remedy, nothing to believe
Moving targets who walk with the star on their sleeve
Forever marked with a number tattooed to your body
Late night, eyes closed, clutched to my shotty
Having visions, flashes of death camps and prisons
No provisions, deceived by the Devil's decisions
Forced into a slave, death before dishonor
For those men who were brave, shot and sent to their grave
Can't awaken, it's too late, everything's been taken
I'm shaken, family, history, the making

[Remedy with Israel's anthem:]
Never again shall we march like sheep to the slaughter
Never again shall we sit and take orders
Stripped of our culture, robbed of our name
Raped of our freedom and thrown into the flames
Forced from our families, taken from our homes
Moved from our God then burned of our bones
Never again, never again, shall we march like sheep to the slaughter
Never again leave our sons and daughters
Stripped of our culture, robbed of our name
(Never again) Raped of our freedom and thrown into the flames
Forced from our families, taken from our homes
Moved from our god and everything we own (Never again)

[Remedy:]
Some fled through the rumors of wars
But most left for dead, few escaped to the shores
With just one loaf of bread, banished
Called in for questioning and vanished, never to be seen again
I can't express the pain, that was felt in the train
To Auschwitz, tears poured down like rain
Naked face to face, with the master race
Hatred blood and David, my heart belongs to God and stay sacred
Rabbis and priests, disabled individuals
The poor, the scholars all labeled common criminals
Mass extermination, total annihilation
Shipped into the ghetto and prepared for liquidation
Tortured and starved, innocent experiments
Stripped down and carved up or gassed to death
The last hour, I smelled the flowers
Flashbacks of family then sent to the showers
Powerless, undressed, women with babies clumped tight to their chest—crying
Who would've guessed—dying
Another life lost, count the cost
Another body gas burned and tossed in the Holocaust

[Remedy with Israel's anthem:]
Never again shall we march like sheep to the slaughter
Never again leave our sons and daughters
Stripped of our culture, robbed of our name
Raped of our freedom and thrown into the flames
Forced from our families, taken from our homes
Moved from our God and everything we own
Never again, never again, shall we march like sheep to the slaughter
Never again shall we sit and take orders
Stripped of our culture, robbed of our name
(Never again) Raped of our freedom and thrown into the flames
Forced from our families, taken from our homes
Moved from our god then burned of our bones (Never again)

[Remedy:]
Never Again, Never Again
The Final Solution is not retribution
Remedy, Wu-Tang

[Hebrew prayer]
