Immortal Technique - The Cause of Death lyrics
[Immortal Technique - The Cause of Death lyrics]
Immortal Technique revolutionary Vol 2, yeah
Broadcasting live from Harlem, New York
(yeah) let the truth be known
You better watch what the fuck
Flies out of your mouth
Or I'ma hijack a plane and
Fly it into your house
Burn your apartment with your family
Tied to the couch
And slit your throat so when you
Scream only blood comes out
I doubt that there could ever
Be a more wicked MC
'Cause AIDS-infested child molesters aren't
Sicker than me
I see the world for what it is
Beyond the white and the black
The way the government
Downplays historical facts
'Cause the United States sponsored the
Rise of the Third Reich
Just like the CIA trained
Terrorists how to fight
Build bombs and sneak box
Cutters onto a flight when I was a child
The Devil himself bought me a mic
But I refused the offer
'cause God sent me to strike
With skills unused like fallopian
Tubes on a dyke
My words'll expose George Bush and bin Laden
As two separate parts of the
Same seven headed dragon
And you can't fathom the truth
So you don't hear me
You think Illuminati's just a
Fuckin' conspiracy theory?
That's why conservative racists are
All runnin' shit and your phone is tapped
By the federal government
So I'm jammin' frequencies in your brain
When you speak to me
Technique’ll rip a rapper
To pieces indecently pack weapons illegally
'cause I'm never hesitant
Sniper-scopin' a commission controllin'
The president
Father, forgive them
For they don't know right from wrong
The truth’ll set you free
Written down in this song
And the song has the cause
Of death written in code
The word of God brought to life
That'll save your soul
Save your soul, motherfucker, save your soul
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I hacked the Pentagon
For self-incriminating evidence
Of Republican manufactured white
Powder pestilence marines Corps flak vest
With the guns and ammo
Spittin' bars like a demon
Stuck inside a piano
Turn a Sambo into a soldier
With just one line
So here's the truth about the system
That'll fuck up your mind
They gave al-Qaeda six billion dollars
In 1989 to 1992 and now the last chapters of
Revelations are comin' true
And I know a lot of people
Find it hard to swallow this
'Cause subliminal bigotry makes you
Hate my politics but you act like America
Wouldn't destroy two buildings
In a country that was sponsoring
Bombs dropped on our children
I was watchin' the towers
And though I wasn't the closest
I saw them crumble to the earth
Like they were full of explosives
And they thought nobody noticed the
News report that they did
About the bombs planted on
The George Washington Bridge
Four non-Arabs arrested during the emergency
And then it disappeared from
The news permanently
They dubbed a tape of Osama
And they said it was proof
Jealous of our freedom? I can't
Believe you bought that excuse!
Rockin' a motherfuckin' flag don't
Make you a hero word to Ground Zero
The Devil crept into Heaven
God overslept on the seventh
The New World Order was
Born on September 11th
Father, forgive them
For they don't know right from wrong
The truth’ll set you free
Written down in this song
And the song has the cause
Of death written in code
The word of God brought to life
That'll save your soul
Save your soul, motherfucker, save your soul
And just so conservatives don't
Take it to heart i don't think Bush did it
'cause he isn't that smart
He's just a stupid puppet takin'
Orders on his cell phone
From the same people that
Sabotaged Senator Wellstone
The military industry got it
Poppin' and lockin' lookin' for a way to
Justify the Wolfowitz Doctrine
And as a matter of fact, Rumsfeld
Now that I think back without 9
11, you couldn't have a war in Iraq
Or a defense budget of
World conquest proportions
Kill freedom of speech and revoke
The right to abortion tax cut extortion
A blessing to the wealthy and wicked
But you still have to answer
To the Armageddon you scripted
And Dick Cheney, you fuckin' leech
Tell ‘em your plans
About building your pipelines
Through Afghanistan
And how Israeli troops trained
The Taliban in Pakistan
You might have some house niggas fooled
But I understand
Colonialism is sponsored by corporations
That's why Halliburton gets paid
To rebuild nations tell me the truth
I don't scare into paralysis
I know the CIA saw bin Laden on dialysis
In '98 when he was top ten for the FBI
Government ties is really why
The government lies
Read it yourself instead of
Askin' the government why
'Cause then the cause of death'll
Cause the propaganda to die
Father forgive them
He is scheduled for 60 Minutes next
He’s going on French, British, Italian
Japanese television people everywhere
Are starting to
Listen to him it's embarrassing
Broadcasting live from Harlem, New York
(yeah) let the truth be known
You better watch what the fuck
Flies out of your mouth
Or I'ma hijack a plane and
Fly it into your house
Burn your apartment with your family
Tied to the couch
And slit your throat so when you
Scream only blood comes out
