Lyrics

• [verse 1)

• They told me I would never make It, I would never achieve it

• Reality is nourishment, but people don't believe it

• I guess it's hard to stomach the truth like a bulimic

• It's a dirty game and nobody is willing to clean it

• But this is for the paraplegic people dreamin' lf runnin'

• Ladies married to men who dont please 'em, dreamin' of comin'

• Verbally murderous like David Berkowitz when I'm gunnin'

• Some cowards on the Internet didn't think I would sell

• Scared to talk shit in person, 'cause they stuck in a shell

• And couldn't understand the pain of being stuck in a cell

• Hell is not a place you go, if you not a Christian

• It's the failure of your lifes greatest ambition

• It's a bad decision to blindly follow any religion

• I don't see the difference in between the raw and the wrong

• Soldiers emptyin' the clips at little kids and they moms

• Are just like a desperate motherfucker strapped to a bomb

• Humanity is gone, smoked up in a gravity bong

• By a Democrat Republican Cheech and Chong

• Immortal Technique, you never heard me preachin' a song

• I'm not controversial, I'm just speakin' the facts

• Put your hands in the air like you got the heat to your back

• And shake your body like a baby born addicted to crack

• And since life's a gamble like the crabstables at Vegas

• I freestyle my destiny, it's not written in pages

• (verse 2)

• I Hate It When They Tell Us How Far We Came To Be

• As If Our Peoples History Started With Slavery

• Painfully I Discovered The Shit They Kept Us Secret

• This Is The Exodus Like The Black Jews Out Of Egypt

• I Keep It Reality Based Wit The Music I Make

• Blow Up The Truth In Your Face With The Style I Run Wit

• Like The Navy Missile That Shot Down Flight Eighthundred

• I'm Like The Africans Who Came Here Before Colombus

• And From The 15hundreds Until After The Model

• I Watch Latin America Get Raped In The Sorrow

• You See The Spaniards Never Left Despues De Colon

• And If You Don't Believe Me, You Can Click On Univision

• I Never Seen So Much Racism In All Of My Life

• Every Program And Newscast, All Of Them White

• It's Like Apartheid With 10 Percent Ruling The Rest

• That Type Of Stress Will Make Me Put The Fucking Tool To Your Chest

• Step In My Way Nigga, I Wouldn't Wanna Be Ya

• I Burn Slow Like Pissing Drunk With Gonnorrhea

• I'll Do A Free Show In North Korea, Burning The Flag

• While Jay Edgar Hoover Politicians Dress Up In Drag

• Try To Confuse You, Makin' It Hard To Follow This:

• Capitalism And Democracy Are Not Synonymous

• You Swallow Propaganda Like A Birth Control Pill

• Sellin' Your Soul To The Eye On The Back Of The Dollar Bill

• But That Will Never Be Me, 'Cause I'm Leavin' The Past

• Like An Abused Wife With The Kids, Leavin' Yo' Ass

• Like A Drug Addict Clean And Sober, Leavin' The Stash

• Unbreakable Technique Leavin' The Plane Crash

• I'm Out With The Black Box And I Refuse To Return

• I Spit Reality, Instead Of What You Usually Learn

• And I Refuse To Be Concerned With Condecending Advice

• 'Cause I'm The Only Motherfucker That Could Change My Life

• (ending)

• Some people think I won't make it

• But I know that I will

• Escape the emptiness

• 'Cause that shit is slow and it kills

• The flow and the skill

• I made y'all believe it at last

• You can make the future

• But It starts with leaving the past
