Immortal Technique - The 3rd World lyrics

Yeah immortal Technique
And DJ Green Lantern
3rd World motherfucker (yeah)

I’m from where the gold and diamonds
Are ripped from the earth
Right next to the slave castles
Where the water is cursed
From where police brutality is
Not half as nice it makes the hood in
America look like paradise
Compared to the AIDS-infested Caribbean slum
African streets where the passport's
An American gun
From where they massacre people and
Try to keep it quiet
And spend the next 25 years
Tryin' to deny it
I’m from where they cut your hands
Off if you make a fist and niggas grow coca
'cause the job market doesn’t exist
Except slave labor, modern day company store
And peacekeepers don’t ever ever ever
Come here no more
From where the bombs that they
Used to drop on Vietnam
Still has children born deformed
Eight months before they gone
I’m from where they lost the
True meaning of the Quran
'Cause heroin is not compatible with Islam
And niggas know that but grow
That poppy seed anyway
'Cause that food-drop parachute does
Not come every day
I’m from where people pray to
The gods of their conquerors
And practically every president's
A money launderer from where the only
Place democracy's acceptable
Is if America's candidate is electable
And they might even have a black president
But he’s useless
'Cause he does not control the economy
Stupid!

Lock and load your gun where
I'm from, the Third World, son
Been to many places, but I’m Third World born
Guerrillas hit and run where I'm
From, the Third World, son
You polluted everything and now
The Third World’s gone
The water is poison where I'm
From, the Third World, son
700 children died by the end of this song
Revolution'll come where I'm from
The Third World, son
Constant occupation leaves the
Third World torn

I’m from where the Catholic Church
Is some racist shit
They helped Europe and America
Rape this bitch
They pray to white Spanish Jesus
Whose face is this?
But never talk about the black pope Gelasius
I’m from where Soviet weapons
Still decide elections
Military's like the Mafia: you
Pay for protection
Catamite sex tours is what the country sells
And rich white businessmen make
The best clientèle
I’m from where they too pussy
To come film Survivor
And they murder Coca-Cola union organisers
I’m from where the justice
System está podrido
Fuck government, niggas politic over perico
Rebelde conocido, enterado vivo
Como otro Argentino desaparecido
'Cause RICO laws don’t apply to the CIA
And motherfuckers make sneakers for
A quarter a day i’m from where they
Overthrow democratic leaders
Not for the people but for
The Wall Street Journal readers
From where blacks, indigenous peoples
And Asians
Were once slaves of the Caucasians
And it’s amazin' how they trained them
To be racist against themselves in the
Place they was raised in
You kept us caged in
Destroyed our culture and said
That you civilised us raped our women
And when we were born you despised us
Gentrified us, agent provocateur divide us
And crucified every revolutionary messiah
So I'm a start a global riot
That not even your fake anti-Communist
Dictators can keep quiet
Fuck your charity medicine tryin'
To murder me! The immunisations you gave us
Were full of mercury so now I see the Third
World like the rap game, soldier
Nationalize the industry and take it over!

Lock and load your gun where
I'm from, the Third World, son
Been to many places, but I’m Third World born
Guerrillas hit and run where I'm
From, the Third World, son
You polluted everything and now
The Third World’s gone
The water is poison where I'm
From, the Third World, son
700 children died by the end of this song
Revolution'll come where I'm from
The Third World, son
Constant occupation leaves the
Third World torn
