They told me I would never make it, I would never achieve it |
| [00:25.09] |
Reality is nurishment, but people don't believe it |
| [00:27.56] |
I guess its hard to stomach the truth like a bulimic |
| [00:30.67] |
its a dirty game and nobody is willing to clean it |
| [00:33.29] |
But this is for the paraplegic, people dreamin' of runnin' |
| [00:35.81] |
ladies married to men who don't please 'em, dreamin' of comin' |
| [00:38.87] |
verbally murderous like David Berkowitz when I'm gunnin' |
| [00:41.39] |
Some cowards on the internet didn't think I would sell |
| [00:44.42] |
scared to talk shit in person, cause they stuck in a shell |
| [00:46.98] |
and couldn't understand the pain of being stuck in a cell |
| [00:49.65] |
Hell is not a place you go, if you not a Christian |

It's a bad decision to blindly follow any religion |
| [00:58.32] |
I don't see the difference in between the raw and the wrong |
| [01:01.05] |
Soldiers emptyin' their clips at little kids and their moms |
| [01:03.82] |
I'm just like a desperate motherfucker strapped to a bomb |
| [01:06.48] |
Humanity is gone, smoked up in a gravity bong |
| [01:09.25] |
by a democrat republican Cheech and Chong |
| [01:12.08] |
Immortal Technique, you never heard me preachin' a song |
| [01:14.69] |
I'm not controversial, I'm just speakin' the facts |
| [01:17.57] |
Put your hands in the air like you got the heat to your back |
| [01:20.45] |
and shake your body like a baby born addicted to crack |
| [01:23.22] |
And since life is a gamble like the craps tables at Vegas |
| [01:25.85] |
I freestyle my destiny, it's not written in pages |
| [01:51.35] |
I hate it when they tell us how far we came to be |
| [01:53.87] |
as if our peoples history started with slavery |

Painfully I discovered the shit they kept a secret |
| [01:59.26] |
this is the exodus like the black Jews out of Egypt |
| [02:02.09] |
I keep it reality based with the music I make |
| [02:04.66] |
brought the truth to your face with the style I run wit |
| [02:07.73] |
like the navy missile that shot down flight eighthundred |
| [02:10.50] |
I'm like the Africans who came here before Colombus |
| [02:12.97] |
and from the 15hundreds until after the model |
| [02:16.00] |
I watch Latin America get raped in the sorrow |
| [02:18.72] |
You see the Spaniards never left despues de Colon |
| [02:21.35] |
and if you don't believe me, you can click on Univision |
| [02:24.32] |
I never seen so much racism in all of my life |
| [02:27.14] |
every program and newscast, all of them white |
| [02:29.81] |
It's like Apartheid with 10 percent ruling the rest |
| [02:32.43] |
that type of stress 'll make me put the fucking tool to your chest |
| [02:35.66] |
Step in my way nigga, I wouldn't wanna be ya |
| [02:38.14] |
I burn slow like pissing drunk with gonorrhea |
| [02:40.87] |
I'll do a freak show in North Korea, burning the flag |
| [02:43.79] |
while Jay Edgar Hoover politicians dress up in drag |
| [02:46.46] |
Try to confuse you, makin' it hard to follow this: |
| [02:49.34] |
capitalism and democracy are not synonymous |
| [02:52.06] |
You swallow propaganda like a birth control pill |
| [02:54.82] |
sellin' your soul to the eye on the back of the dollar bill |
| [02:57.64] |
But that will never be me, cause I am leavin' the past |
| [03:00.32] |
like an abused wife with the kids, leavin' your ass |
| [03:03.03] |
Like a drug addict clean and sober, leavin' the stash |
| [03:05.96] |
unbreakable Technique leavin' the plane crash |
| [03:08.89] |
I'm out with the black box and I refuse to return |
| [03:11.31] |
I spit reality, instead of what you usually learn |
| [03:14.23] |
and I refuse to be concerned with condescending advice |
| [03:17.01] |
cause I am the only motherfucker that could change my life |
| [03:43.10] |
Some people think I won't make it |
| [03:44.52] |
but I know that I will |
| [03:45.81] |
Escape the emptiness |
| [03:46.95] |
cause that shit is slow and it kills |
| [03:48.46] |
the flow and the skill |
| [03:49.92] |
I made y'all believe it at last |
| [03:51.49] |
You can make the future |
| [03:52.74] |
but it starts with LEAVING THE PAST |
