[00:03.23]The new age is upon us
[00:05.53]And yet the past refuses to rest in its shallow grave
[00:10.26]For those who hide behind the false image of the Son of man
[00:14.52]Shall stand before God
[00:21.00]It has begun
[00:23.70]The beginning of the end
[00:27.99]Yeah
[00:33.14]Yeah, yeah, yeah
[00:36.98]
[00:37.18](Verse 1)
[00:37.38]The voice of racism preachin' the gospel is devilish
[00:40.82]A fake church called the prophet Muhammad a terrorist
[00:43.92]Forgetting God is not a religion, but a spiritual bond
[00:47.01]And Jesus is the most quoted prophet in the Qu'ran
[00:50.26]They bombed innocent people, tryin' to murder Saddam
[00:53.41]When you gave him those chemical weapons to go to war with Iran
[00:56.56]This is the information that they hold back from Peter Jennings
[00:59.86]Cause Condoleeza Rice is just a new age Sally Hemings
[01:02.86]I break it down with critical language and spiritual anguish
[01:06.55]The Judas I hang with, the guilt of betraying Christ
[01:09.60]You murdered and stole his religion, and painting him white
[01:12.29]Translated in psychologically tainted philosophy
[01:15.54]Conservative political right wing, ideology
[01:18.68]Glued together sloppily, the blasphemy of a nation
[01:21.73]Got my back to the wall, cause I'm facin' assassination
[01:25.13]Guantanamo Bay, federal incarceration
[01:28.48]How could this be, the land of the free, home of the brave
[01:31.62]Indigenous holocaust and the home of the slaves
[01:34.46]Corporate America, dancin' offbeat to the rhythm
[01:37.54]You really think this country, never sponsored terrorism
[01:40.99]Human rights violations, we continue the saga
[01:43.94]El Savador and the contras in Nicaragua
[01:47.14]And on top of that, you still wanna take me to prison
[01:50.38]Just cause I won't trade humanity for patriotism
[01:53.89](Refrain)
[01:53.99]It's like MKUltra, controllin' your brain
[01:56.93]Suggestive thinking, causing your perspective to change
[01:59.93]They wanna rearrange the whole point of view of the ghetto
[02:02.97]The fourth branch of the government, want us to settle
[02:06.27]A bandanna full of glittering, generality
[02:09.25]Fightin' for freedom and fightin' terror, but what's reality
[02:12.51]Read about the history of the place that we live in
[02:15.72]And stop letting corporate news tell lies to your children
[02:18.91](Verse 2)
[02:19.00]Flow like the blood of Abraham through the Jews and the Arabs
[02:22.25]Broken apart like a woman's heart, abused in a marriage
[02:25.35]The brink of holy war, bottled up, like a miscarriage
[02:28.60]Embedded correspondents don't tell the source of the tension
[02:31.69]And they refuse to even mention, European intervention
[02:34.94]Or the massacres in Jenin, the innocent screams
[02:37.92]U.S. manufactured missles, and M-16's
[02:41.13]Weapon contracts and corrupted American dreams
[02:44.42]Media censor******p, blocking out the video screens
[02:47.43]A continent of oil kingdoms, bought for a bargain
[02:50.67]Democracy is just a word, when the people are starvin'
[02:53.96]The average citizen, made to be, blind to the reason
[02:56.91]A desert full of genocide, where the bodies are freezin'
[03:00.16]And the world doesn't believe that you fightin' for freedom
[03:03.80]Cause you ****** the Middle East, and gave birth to a demon
[03:06.65]It's open season with the CIA, buggin' my crib
[03:09.74]Trapped in a ghetto region like a Palestinian kid
[03:12.93]Where nobody gives a ****** whether you die or you live
[03:15.99]I'm tryin' to give the truth, and I know the price is my life
[03:19.74]But when I'm gone they'll sing a song about Immortal Technique
[03:23.04]Who beheaded the President, and the princes and sheiks
[03:26.02]You don't give a ****** about us, I can see through your facade
[03:29.43]Like a fallen angel standing in the presence of God
[03:32.41]****** ******s scared of the truth, when it looks at you hard
[03:35.38]
[03:35.39](Refrain)
[03:35.50]It's like MKUltra, controllin' your brain
[03:38.68]Suggestive thinking, causing your perspective to change
[03:41.82]They wanna rearrange the whole point of view of the ghetto
[03:45.01]The fourth branch of the government, want us to settle
[03:48.21]A bandanna full of glittering, generality
[03:51.36]Fightin' for freedom and fightin' terror, but what's reality
[03:54.49]Martial law is coming soon to the hood, to kill you
[03:57.74]While you hanging your flag out your project window”
[04:00.99]
[04:01.24](Immortal Technique: Talking)
[04:03.99]The fourth branch of the government AKA the media
[04:07.51]Seems to now have a retirement plan for ex-military officials
[04:11.95]As if their opinion was at all unbiased
[04:14.65]A machine shouldn't speak for men
[04:17.40]So shut the ****** up you mindless drone
[04:20.44]And you know it's serious
[04:22.39]When these same media outfits are spending millions of dollars on a PR campaign
[04:27.68]To try to convince you they're fair and balanced
[04:31.02]When they're some of the most ignorant, and racist people
[04:34.56]Giving that type of mentality a safe haven
[04:37.40]We act like we share in the spoils of war that they do
[04:41.60]We die in wars, we don't get the contracts to make money off 'em afterwards
[04:46.09]We don't get weapons contracts, ******
[04:49.23]We don't get cheap labor for our companies, ******
[04:52.33]We are cheap labor, ******
[04:54.59]Turn off the news and read, ******
[04:57.19]Read... read... read
