The new age is upon us...and yet the past refuses to rest in its shallow grave |
|
...for those who hide behind the false image of |
|
the son of man, shall stand before God! It has begun... |
|
the beginning of the end...yeah...yeah...yeah, yeah |
|
The voice of racism preaching the Gospel is devilish |
|
A fake church called the prophet Muhammad a terrorist |
|
Forgetting God is not religion, but a spiritual bond |
|
And Jesus is the most quoted prophet in the Qu'ran |

When you gave him those chemical weapons to go to war with Iran |
|
This is the information that they hold back from Peter Jennings |
|
'Cause Condoleeza Rice is just a new age Sally Hemmings |
|
I break it down with critical language and spiritual anguish |
|
The Judas I hang with, the guilt of betraying Christ |
|
You murdered and stole his religion, and painting him white |
|
Translated in psychologically tainted philosophy |
|
Conservative political right wing, ideology |
|
Glued together sloppily, the blasphemy of a nation |
|
Got my back to the wall, cause I'm facing assassination |
|
Guantanamo Bay, federal incarceration |
|
How could this be, the land of the free, home of the brave? |
|
Indigenous holocaust, and the home of the slaves |
|
Corporate America, dancing offbeat to the rhythm |
|
You really think this country, never sponsored terrorism? |
|
Human rights violations, we continue the saga |
|
El Salvador and the Contras in Nicaragua |
|
And on top of that, you still wanna take me to prison |
|
Just cause I won't trade humanity for patriotism |
|
It's like MK-ULTRA, controlling your brain |
|
Suggestive thinking, causing your perspective to change |
|
They wanna rearrange the whole point of view of the ghetto |
|
The fourth branch of the government, want us to settle |
|
A bandana full of glittering, generality |
|
Fighting for freedom and fighting terror, but what's reality? |
|
Read about the history of the place that we live in |
|
And stop letting corporate news tell lies to your children |
|
Flow like the blood of Abraham through the Jews and the Arabs |
|
Broken apart like a woman's heart, abused in a marriage |
|
The brink of holy war, bottled up, like a miscarriage |
|
Embedded correspondents don't tell the source of the tension |
|
And they refuse to even mention, European intervention |
|
Or the massacres in Jenin, the innocent screams |
|
US manufactured missiles, and M-16's |
|
Weapon contracts and corrupted American dreams |
|
Media censorship, blocking out the video screens |
|
A continent of oil kingdoms, bought for a bargain |
|
Democracy is just a word, when the people are starving |
|
The average citizen, made to be, blind to the reason |
|
A desert full of genocide, where the bodies are freezing |
|
And the world doesn't believe that you fighting for freedom |
|
Cause you ****ed the Middle East and gave birth to a demon |
|
It's open season with the CIA, bugging my crib |
|
Trapped in a ghetto region like a Palestinian kid |
|
Where nobody gives a **** whether you die or you live |
|
I'm trying to give the truth, and I know the price is my life |
|
But when I'm gone they'll sing a song about Immortal Technique |
|
Who beheaded the President, and the princes and sheiks |
|
You don't give a **** about us, I can see through your facade |
|
Like a fallen angel standing in the presence of God |
|
Bitch niggas scared of the truth, when it looks at you hard |
|
It's like MK-ULTRA, controlling your brain |
|
Suggestive thinking, causing your perspective to change |
|
They wanna rearrange the whole point of view in the ghetto |
|
The fourth branch of the government, want us to settle |
|
A bandana full of glittering, generality |
|
Fighting for freedom and fighting terror, but what's reality? |
|
Martial law is coming soon to the hood, to kill you |
|
While you hanging your flag out your project window |
|
Yeah, the fourth branch of the government, aka the media, seems to now have a retirement plan |
|
For ex-military officials as if their opinion was at all unbiased. |
|
A machine shouldn't speak for men so shut the **** up you mindless drone |
|
And you know it's serious when these same media outfits are spending millions of dollars |
|
On a PR campaign to try and convince you they're fair and balanced |
|
When they're some of the most ignorant and racist people |
|
Giving that type of mentality a safe haven |
|
We act like we share in the spoils of war that they do |
|
We die in wars, we don't get contracts to make money off 'em afterwards |
|
We don't get weapons contracts, nigga |
|
We don't get cheap labor for our companies, nigga |
|
