[00:22.31]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
[00:52.53]it's the failure of your life's greatest ambition
[00:55.55]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
[01:56.69]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
