[00:00.94]Intro: Immortal Technique
[00:02.92]Hypocrites, hookers, sex offenders
[00:07.46]Y'all niggas wanna be pimps and players?
[00:10.50]This ain't 1997 nigga
[00:11.64]Verse 1: Immortal Technique
[00:11.84]I'd rather be rich and unhappy than broke and miserable
[00:14.73]Cause the game don't give a FUCK if you lyrical
[00:17.67]And that's pitiful, so my position is pivotal
[00:20.57]You can hate me all you like but you worship the principle
[00:23.55]I inspire revolution, the government's not invincible
[00:26.63]Vietnam to Venezuela, trick knowledge, they pimpin you
[00:29.77]All up in the hood like McDonald's and liquor
[00:32.16]Selling AIDS medicine, when we know you got the cure nigga (woo!)
[00:35.66]You leery of conspiracy theory but hear me
[00:38.29]From a business perspective, it makes more sense clearly
[00:41.63]Cause moreover, that's what we go to war over
[00:44.42]And numbers don't lie unless we do Bush and Gore over
[00:47.35]Free markets make money disingenuously
[00:50.30]But I invest in agriculture, biochemistry
[00:53.03]Smart nigga from the hood, pussy, what type of crime is that?
[00:56.00]But exec's are like, "You from Harlem? Where your diamonds at?"
[00:58.13]Chours: Mojo and Immortal Technique
[00:58.18]Can't dodge the game
[00:59.67]Stupid
[01:00.28]If you lookin' for the money or the fame (oh-ohh)
[01:03.47]The players and the rules ain't changed (oh no)
[01:06.06]But see we tryin' to leave a name
[01:08.76]So we're turnin' out
[01:09.50]Yeah, this is how pimps get pimped and players get played
[01:13.33]Rich people get robbed and, broke niggas paid
[01:16.23]New York, London, Chicago, Philly and L.A
[01:19.12]Miami, D.C., B-more and out in the Bay
[01:21.55]We're tearin it out of the frame
[01:23.94]See we deserve to stake that claim
[01:26.19]If we didn't it's a cryin shame
[01:29.18]What we're concerned about is how to turn it out
[01:33.62]Verse 2: Immortal Technique
[01:33.77]Show me a pretty girl, with the world stuck to her
[01:36.75]And I bet you there's a brother that's tired of fuckin her
[01:39.65]Lots of niggas girls is someone else's one night stand
[01:42.50]I probably made some bitches nervous listenin with they man (ha ha)
[01:45.42]And if that offends somebody, I'm sorry, fuck you!
[01:48.47]What you think, revolutionaries don't like to fuck too?
[01:51.70]You just gotta beware of dangerous coochie
[01:54.39]Cover ya head like a kufi, some rappers think that they live in a movie
[01:57.58]Until they get herpes or clap from a groupie
[02:00.11]And I don't need to shout you out, nigga you know who you be
[02:03.16]Look, most people are only players cause they got played
[02:05.80]And have not, let go of that, shit since the 7th grade
[02:09.28]Yeah you got your heart broke, life sucks, doesn't it?
[02:12.13]But you shouldn't fuck up someone else's life because of it
[02:15.01]Someone did your mother like that, that's why you fatherless
[02:17.91]Before jail or racist cops, that's what the problem is
[02:20.90]Chours 2: Mojo and Immortal Technique
[02:21.09]See who's the one to place that blame
[02:24.73]We getting trapped in cycle of pain
[02:27.67]With a generation headed down the drain
[02:30.61]That's how we're turning out
[02:32.49]This is how pimps get pimped
[02:33.94]And players get played
[02:35.04]Beautiful women get cheated on
[02:36.88]And gangsters strayed
[02:37.93]Jersey, Detroit, Denver, Phoenix, Atlanta
[02:40.86]Texas, Vegas, Seattle and fuckin Louisiana
[02:43.22]Regardless of the money you're paid
[02:46.26]You spend it on a watch and a chain
[02:48.80]But can't offer your children a thing
[02:51.49]What the hell is goin' on in your brain?
[02:55.00]Verse 3: Immortal Technique
[02:55.02]Yeah, I'm not a crack rapper, I'm not a backpacker (ha ha ha)
[02:58.87]I'm not a wack rapper, moonlighting as a bad actor
[03:02.51]I treat labels like the projects, cause I'm a hater (what!)
[03:05.35]Go to the Sony building and piss in the elevator
[03:08.24]Cater to hustlers, crooks and cheap smugglers
[03:10.89]Bootleg my own album, to reach customers (yeah)
[03:14.01]Every city, state and country, the hood love me
[03:16.70]Even Aborigines, in Australia bump me
[03:19.57]They say underground fans are all the color of talcum
[03:22.35]But who the fuck you think buy 50 and Jay albums?
[03:25.54]Who the fuck you think made Snoop and Dre platinum?
[03:28.53]Call up any major record label and ask 'em
[03:31.12]But there's some, devils in disguise in hip-hop
[03:33.96]That belong at Republican fundraisers with Kid Rock (bitch!)
[03:37.00]I hope one of my fans has one of your kids shot (bitch!)
[03:39.78]And blames it on Acid, Prozac and Slipknot
[03:42.72]You a pussy actin hard like a bitch cop
[03:45.46]I'll drop you to the floor like a reverse wristlock
[03:48.51]Eat your food and shit on you, like a highway pit stop
[03:51.58]And make, revolutionaries out of kids that used to flip rocks
[03:54.73]The government, pimped 9/11 to go to Iraq
[03:57.47]And history, repeats itself right on track (how?)
[04:00.21]First as a tragedy, and then the comedy begins (why?)
[04:03.36]Cause it's funny, motherfuckers don't see it come around again
[04:06.69]Outro: Mojo and (Immortal Technique)
[04:06.94]Where, can we be free? (FUCK we gon' be free man?)
