I pledge no allegiance / Fuck the president's speeches / I'm baptized by America covered in leeches

We don't get weapons contracts, nigga / We don't get cheap labor for our company, nigga / We ARE cheap labour, nigga / Turn off the news and read, nigga / read...

The problem with conformists will always be that when you try to change the system from within, it's not you who changes the system. It's the system that will eventually change you

I see the world for what it is, beyond the white and the black / The way the government downplays historical facts / 'Cuz the United States sponsored the rise of the 3rd Reich / Just like the CIA trained terrorists to the fight / Build bombs and sneak box cutters onto a flight

Universal truth is not measured in mass appeal

This is the last time that I kneel and pray to the sky 'cause almost everything that I was ever told was a lie.

If you go platinum it's got nothin' to do with luck / it just means that a million people are stupid as fuck

They say the rebels in Iraq still fight for Saddam but that's bullshit. I'll tell you why it's totally wrong. Because if another country invaded the hood tonight it would be warfare through Harlem and Washington Heights. I wouldn't be fighting for Bush or white America's dream. I'd be fighting for my people's survival and self esteem.

I hate it when they tell us how far we came to be, as if our people's history started with slavery.

And Dick Cheney, you fuckin leech, tell them your plans. About building your pipelines through Afghanistan. And how Israeli troops trained the Taliban in Pakistan. You might have some house niggaz fooled, but I understand
The things I've seen in life will make you choke by surprise / like an aborted fetus in a jar that opened its eyes

Using numerology to count the people I sent to heaven, produces more digits than twenty-two divided by seven

I refuse to be concerned with condescending advice.. 'cause I'm the only motherfucker that can change my life

The only biscuit you got's in a KFC box

You can make the future, but it starts with leaving the past

I felt like a moth who got himself too close to the light, but I didn't burn; I turned cold after that night.

The bling-bling era was cute, but it's about to be done. I leave you full eclipse (of clips) like the moon blocking the sun.

They burned innocent people trying to murder Saddam
When they gave 'em those chemical weapons to go to war with Iran
This is the information they hold back from Peter Jennings 'cause Condoleeza Rice is just a new-age Sally Hemmings.

The voice of racism, preaching the Gospel is devilish. A fake church called the prophet Muhammed a terrorist, forgetting God is not religion but a spiritual bond and Jesus is the most-quoted prophet in the Quran.

You better watch what the fuck flies outta your mouth / Or I'ma hijack a plane and fly it into your house.

This is the final call, for all rappers that want to brawl, Immortal Technique, the wrong motherfucker to diss, cause i allowed god to let you motherfuckers exist.

You never robbed Dominicans, and you couldn't sling rock if you was Palestinian

Hell is not a place you go if you're not a christian, its the failure of your life's greatest ambition

The devil crept into heaven, God overslept on the seventh, the new world order was born on september 11th.

I never make songs that disrespect women / or that judge people about the way that they're living / but the way I am is based on the life I was given

I'd rather be proud of what I am, rather than desperately try to be something I'm really not, just to fit in. And whether we want to accept it or not, that's what this culture or lack of culture is feeding us.

You cannot second guess yourself in these days and times. They're gonna throw whatever they can at you and you gotta be prepared for it. You gotta be prepared for anything.

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.
Devils used to be God's angels that fell from the top. There is no diversity cos we're burnin in the melting pot.
And just so conservatives don't take it to heart, I don't think Bush did it (Why?), Cuz he isn't that smart.

Until then I had alien women suck me off/when god said "let their be light" I turned it the fuck off.
A victory against Immortal Technique will never be done/like retarded kids throwin' ice cubes at the sun.
Call my spirit the coldest, you say that I'm bitter/ but I'm sick of cops calling me a Spic' and a Nigga.
The most gangster shit in the world is to know what's going on.
I jerk off in books and give life to words.
They vote for us to go to war instantly, but none of their kids serve in the infantry.
