Immortal Technique - Speak Your Mind lyrics
[Immortal Technique - Speak Your Mind lyrics]
You have to speak the truth
You have to speak your mind
Every time I speak my
Mind I'm lyrically critical
The pinnacle of being revolutionarily pivotal
Beyond anything ever studied
That's metaphysical man, fuck a minority
I'm not politically minimal
But obviously terminologies that
Are statistical are manufactured to be
Unequivocally subliminal
Transmitted by monopolized media visuals
So I riddle hypocritically pitiful criminals
Habitually utilizing typical rituals
With false pretense in attempts
To be spiritual to individuals who believe
In Biblical miracles instead of themselves
'cause they're not thinkin' original
And the color of their skin
Makes them feel invisible
Like microscopic miscarriages lynched
With the umbilical
Only a fuckin' imbecile would
Think they're uncorrectable
'Cause you're susceptible to becomin'
More than a spectacle
Remember that your flesh, your blood
And your body are dissectable I'll beat
You until you're a vegetable
And wake up in a hospital
Covered in poisonous chemicals
In a fetal position with your
Face sewn to your testicles
Thinkin' that you were
Kidnapped by extraterrestrials
You got heart? I'm the blood
That pumps in your ventricles
Technique, I'm like your soul, nigga
Indispensable
With no respect for those who cower
At the hour of revolution
'Cause the government owes
My people restitution
Instead of sedatives like
Cocaine and prostitution
Conclusion is that you'll have
To violently silence me
'Cause I raid the airwaves
Of cutthroat piracy
In school my teachers blinded me
But now I can see
Now I'm mentally and revolutionarily free
Broadenin' horizons about what my
People could be
If we wasn't set up to get shot, locked
Or OD you see families bleed because
Of corporate greed and monopolizin' weed is
Virtually impossible
So it won't be legalized
And that's another obstacle
But I'm still rollin' up
Pocket fulls of tropical
The government's involved directly
So it's unstoppable
Like a nuclear rocket full
Of biochemical toxins
That invade the ecological
Improbable that the average
Intellect could understand
So I encrypted this into hip
Hop that's in high demand
And spread it through the ghetto
Of every city like contraband
Stomp a man of any complexion
With a devilish nature
'Cause I'm tryin' to save the Earth
But you're just gettin' in line to rape her
You have to speak your mind
Every time I speak my
Mind I'm lyrically critical
The pinnacle of being revolutionarily pivotal
Beyond anything ever studied
That's metaphysical man, fuck a minority
I'm not politically minimal
But obviously terminologies that
Are statistical are manufactured to be
Unequivocally subliminal
Transmitted by monopolized media visuals
So I riddle hypocritically pitiful criminals
Habitually utilizing typical rituals
With false pretense in attempts
To be spiritual to individuals who believe
In Biblical miracles instead of themselves
'cause they're not thinkin' original
And the color of their skin
Makes them feel invisible
Like microscopic miscarriages lynched

Think they're uncorrectable
'Cause you're susceptible to becomin'

And your body are dissectable I'll beat
