| Remember break that window when that cop comes in
|
| And blow that motherfuckers head off
|
| --multiple gun shots-- (Got him)
|
| Yeah load it up again cause these motherfuckers
|
| Are gonna come back for us. |
| (We're ready)
|
| We gotta be prepared in this day and age, we gotta
|
| Be prepared for whatever comes the fuck at us. |
| (Word up)
|
| Cause we are living revolutionarily. |
| (Definitely)
|
| You cannot second guess yourself in these days and times
|
| They’re gonna throw whatever they can at you and you gotta
|
| Be prepared for it, you gotta be prepared for anything
|
| «It's liberty or it’s death
|
| It’s freedom for everybody or it’s freedom for nobody!»
|
| (Hook)
|
| No matter what the fuck life throws at me
|
| I continue to make it through indefinitely
|
| Immortal Technique defeats the odds repetitively
|
| Until there ain’t shit ahead of me competitively
|
| Surviving the tough times is imperative to me
|
| Looking at the whole world revolutionarily
|
| They don’t want to hear you old Uncle Tom
|
| Handkerchief heads talking about the odds
|
| Technique will force you into strategical retreat
|
| Because I dominate guerrilla warfare in the streets
|
| There ain’t no way to picture me without a victory speech
|
| When I reach higher positions
|
| Without the recognition of pissed on competition
|
| Cause I conquered their renditions
|
| In a systematic form like a religious tradition
|
| My mission is to take you, lyrically break you
|
| Lyrically assassinate you
|
| Lyrically incinerate your body and recreate you
|
| To destroy the power that mentally incarcerates you
|
| Cause even though I rip it better I could not forsake you
|
| You’re my people with the same oppressors so how could I hate you
|
| The revolution of the mind that bring me generates you
|
| But when you come original people impersonate you, start to hate you
|
| Cause the conflict is building within the ultimate sin
|
| Is to be ashamed of your skin
|
| My rhymes are like Jamaican over proof I make the room spin
|
| Intoxicated flow I bleed vodka and brandy
|
| Don’t make me choke you down like Jon Benét Ramsey
|
| Something demands of me to rip this fucking shit uncannily
|
| God commanded me to be a technological disease
|
| And psychologically do battle with the best emcee’s
|
| Upper-case the 'T' in Technique
|
| Cause I’m the capital of revolutionary nation that’s infallible
|
| Aztec; |
| Lecter, Hannibal
|
| Rip your heart out of your chest and feed it to the cannibals
|
| Your just a fucking animal but I’m the Neosapien
|
| Cause my original civilization was based upon creation
|
| You know theirs no escaping even though your heart is racing
|
| I’ll put your best disciple on academic probation
|
| Fuck the litigation, fuck the best rapper nominations
|
| And fuck the president I voted for assassination
|
| I’m saying fuck the federal bullshit investigations
|
| Fuck the cover up of ghetto radiation extermination
|
| Using my people for experimentation
|
| And if doesn’t play hip hop then fuck your radio station
|
| (Hook)
|
| No matter what the fuck life throws at me
|
| I continue to make it through indefinitely
|
| Immortal Technique defeats the odds repetitively
|
| Until there ain’t shit ahead of me competitively
|
| Surviving the tough times is imperative to me
|
| Looking at the whole world revolutionarily
|
| Revolutions overturn systems, revolutions destroy systems! |
| (crowd cheers)
|
| Yo what the fuck happen to reality spitting rhyme slayers
|
| These days everybody trying to be a thug or a player
|
| Where did all the real motherfuckers go in the game
|
| Bring back the break dancers and graffiti writers with fame
|
| I remember hip hop before the mic gun clapping
|
| Cause I used to drink forties with more flavor then these rappers
|
| Lyrical ego trips doesn’t make fortification
|
| Your not dope enough, spit self glorification
|
| So don’t jerk me around cause my name ain’t masturbation
|
| Life is hard it’ll leave you scarred cause I been through shit
|
| If you consider rap a job I suggest that you quit
|
| Don’t you understand the audience will listen and dance
|
| In the club, crib or car or whatever they get the chance
|
| To be emancipated start debating justice in the cipher
|
| Why do you think project rooms look like the cells in Rikers |
| I’m explaining the significance on the reason behind it
|
| They’re preparing your children for the prison environment
|
| When you don’t amount to shit prison becomes retirement
|
| But I refuse to be took in to central booking in chains
|
| Cause sleeping on the floor in cages starts to fuck with your brain
|
| The system ain’t reformatory, it’s only purgatory
|
| Close to hell but I rebel as begin to spark an L
|
| And tell my people how we fell into the trap that we live in
|
| Because they locked us up in ghetto’s and began to rape our women
|
| So I leave the system Unforgiven like Eastwood
|
| Cause I was bless with lyrical strength to do whatever I could
|
| You should of seen it coming long ago when you were very young
|
| My word is through the father, holy spirit and his fucking son
|
| Cause when I grab the mic device in front of Christ and start to rip it
|
| I’ll make Jesus turn around and say «yo pop this nigga flipped it»
|
| So talk about whatever and be what you wanna be
|
| But don’t mistake the way I break the faith for simple blasphemy
|
| Cause through the highest frequencies in the NYC
|
| I’m crushing 97.1 percent of MC’s
|
| (Hook)
|
| No matter what the fuck life throws at me
|
| I continue to make it through indefinitely
|
| Immortal Technique defeats the odds repetitively
|
| Until there ain’t shit ahead of me competitively
|
| Surviving the tough times is imperative to me
|
