I think, hearing the song, it's " tricks and cons" at line 18. The gist of the verse seems to be that Western powers are after oil, and began to destabilize the Middle East to get it, first by bombing Lebanon, then by faking 9/11 ['lick (beat, attack?) yourself and blame Afghanistan], then destabilise Iraq and destroy Saddam'. The fear is that the West will destabilise Angola to take its oil reserves.slam2011https://www.blogger.com/profile/03112153426493772446noreply@blogger.com
