[Immortal Technique, Hasan Salaam, Hezekiah - Jericho lyrics]
Fuck how you feel about me
Say what you will about me
But let’s see how you feel
When the walls come tumbling down
When the walls come tumbling down yeah
When the walls come tumbling down
They're saying racism in Americas over
Well tell that to the pigs
When they pulling me over
No eye contact just a gun out the holster
Plantation overseers, prisons
Filling their quota they call us niggers
They call us thugs
Say we all good for nothing
And we all sell drugs they call for blood
They call in the squadron
But I am Oscar Grant I am Trayvon Martin
Jelani Manigault and Phillip Pannell
Invisible man faces at the bottom of the well
We been through hell
Still see eternal life Henrietta Lacks cells
Uncle Tom's been corrupting the biz
And that's word to the wire
Under Al Sharpton’s wig
Pigs still shoot us in that back tho
Regardless of the nigga tweets
By Gwyneth Paltrow
How low do we go to fit in
Killing ourselves even bleaching our skin
Racism been stayed right on track
And none of it changed just because
The presidents black fuck that
Fuck how you feel about me
Say what you will about me
But let’s see how you feel
When the walls come tumbling down
When the walls come tumbling down yeah
When the walls come tumbling down
They wanna condition your brain when
They get in there
To make you believe that the
Walls always been there
Persevering the game without getting
Your flesh torn gotta get to a square that’s
Not on a chess board
Invisible walls classism and privilege
That are taller than apartheid
Walls you live with
Governments a business clouded in smoke
And when you’re broke only real
Choice Pepsi and Coke
Muthafuckaz will build a wall
For every reason alive
But then change the reason when
They get you inside they build a wall to try
And keep terrorists out
And it becomes symbolic of
What terrorism’s about
Build a great wall for barbarian neighbors
And it’s trampled by tourists
A thousand years later
Now they built a wall to keep immigrants out
But wanna pick and choose the
Immigrants they talking about
Jericho's Walls came tumbling downward
The hand of God turns Rock
And Metal to powder
Rebellious Minds, I need you to think louder
Before they police every
Thought they encounter
Jericho's walls came tumbling downward
When empires fall you see
Who laid the groundwork
You think the Spark of
Revolution's an outburst
I guess before Jericho we come
To your house first
Fuck how you feel about me
Say what you will about me
But let’s see how you feel
When the walls come tumbling down
When the walls come tumbling down yeah
When the walls come tumbling down
Say what you will about me
But let’s see how you feel
When the walls come tumbling down
When the walls come tumbling down yeah
When the walls come tumbling down
They're saying racism in Americas over
Well tell that to the pigs
When they pulling me over
No eye contact just a gun out the holster
Plantation overseers, prisons
Filling their quota they call us niggers
They call us thugs
Say we all good for nothing
And we all sell drugs they call for blood
