| The new age is upon us And yet the past refuses to rest in its shallow grave
|
| For those who hide behind the false image of the son of man
|
| shall stand before God!!! |
| It has begun
|
| The beginning of the end
|
| Yeah.
|
| Yeah… yeah, yeah
|
| The voice of racism preaching the gospel is devilish
|
| A fake church called the prophet Muhammad a terrorist
|
| Forgetting God is not a religion, but a spiritual bond
|
| And Jesus is the most quoted prophet in the Qu’ran
|
| They bombed innocent people, tryin’to murder Saddam
|
| When you gave him those chemical weapons to go to war with Iran
|
| This is the information that they hold back from Peter Jennings
|
| Cause Condoleeza Rice is just a new age Sally Hemmings
|
| I break it down with critical language and spiritual anguish
|
| The Judas I hang with, the guilt of betraying Christ
|
| You murdered and stole his religion, and painting him white
|
| Translated in psychologically tainted philosophy
|
| Conservative political right wing, ideology
|
| Glued together sloppily, the blasphemy of a nation
|
| Got my back to the wall, cause I’m facin’assassination
|
| Guantanamo Bay, federal incarceration
|
| How could this be, the land of the free, home of the brave?
|
| Indigenous holocaust, and the home of the slaves
|
| Corporate America, dancin’offbeat to the rhythm
|
| You really think this country, never sponsored terrorism?
|
| Human rights violations, we continue the saga
|
| El Savador and the contras in Nicaragua
|
| And on top of that, you still wanna take me to prison
|
| Just cause I won’t trade humanity for patriotism
|
| It’s like MK-ULTRA, controlling your brain
|
| Suggestive thinking, causing your perspective to change
|
| They wanna rearrange the whole point of view of the ghetto
|
| The fourth branch of the government, want us to settle
|
| A bandana full of glittering, generality
|
| Fighting for freedom and fighting terror, but what’s reality?
|
| Read about the history of the place that we live in And stop letting corporate news tell lies to your children
|
| Flow like the blood of Abraham through the Jews and the Arabs
|
| Broken apart like a woman’s heart, abused in a marriage
|
| The brink of holy war, bottled up, like a miscarriage
|
| Embedded correspondents don’t tell the source of the tension
|
| And they refuse to even mention, European intervention
|
| Or the massacres in Jenin, the innocent screams
|
| U.S. manufactured missles, and M-16's
|
| Weapon contracts and corrupted American dreams
|
| Media censorship, blocking out the video screens
|
| A continent of oil kingdoms, bought for a bargain
|
| Democracy is just a word, when the people are starvin'
|
| The average citizen, made to be, blind to the reason
|
| A desert full of genocide, where the bodies are freezin'
|
| And the world doesn’t believe that you fightin’for freedom
|
| Cause you fucked the Middle East, and gave birth to a demon
|
| It’s open season with the CIA, bugging my crib
|
| Trapped in a ghetto region like a Palestinian kid
|
| Where nobody gives a fuck whether you die or you live
|
| I’m tryin’to give the truth, and I know the price is my life
|
| But when I’m gone they’ll sing a song about Immortal Technique
|
| Who beheaded the President, and the princes and sheiks
|
| You don’t give a fuck about us, I can see through your facade
|
| Like a fallen angel standing in the presence of God
|
| Bitch niggaz scared of the truth, when it looks at you hard
|
| It’s like MK-ULTRA, controlling your brain
|
| Suggestive thinking, causing your perspective to change
|
| They wanna rearrange the whole point of view in the ghetto
|
| The fourth branch of the government, want us to settle
|
| A bandana full of glittering, generality
|
| Fighting for freedom and fighting terror, but what’s reality?
|
| Martial law is coming soon to the hood, to kill you
|
| While you hanging your flag out your project window
|
| Yeah.
|
| The fourth branch of the government AKA the media
|
| Seems to now have a retirement plan for ex-military officials
|
| As if their opinion was at all unbiased
|
| A machine shouldn’t speak for men
|
| So shut the fuck up you mindless drone!
|
| And you know it’s serious
|
| When these same media outfits are spending millions of dollars on a PR campaign
|
| To try to convince you they’re fair and balanced
|
| When they’re some of the most ignorant, and racist people
|
| Giving that type of mentality a safe haven
|
| We act like we share in the spoils of war that they do We die in wars, we don’t get the contracts to make money off 'em afterwards!
|
| We don’t get weapons contracts, nigga!
|
| We don’t get cheap labor for our companies, nigga!
|
| We are cheap labor, nigga!
|
| Turn off the news and read, nigga!
|
| Read… read… read… |
