[Verse 1]
They told me I would never make it, I would never achieve it
Reality is nurishment, but people don't believe it
I guess its hard to stomach the truth like a bulimickits a dirty game and nobody is willing to clean it
But this is for the paralygics, people dreamin' of runnin'ladies married to men who dont please 'em, dreamin' of comin'urbanly murderous like David Berkowitz when I'm gunnin'Some cowards on the internet didn't think I would sellscared to talk shit in person, cuz they stuck in a shelland couldn't understand the pain of being stuck in a cell
Hell is not a place you go, if you not a christianit's the failure of your lifes greatest ambitionIt's a bad decision to blindly follow any religion
I don't see the difference in between the raw and the wrong
Soldiers emptyin' the clips at little kids and they momsI'm just like a desperate motherfucker strapped to a bomb
Humanity is gone, smoked up in a gravity bongby a democrat republican Cheech and ChongImmortal Technique, you never heard me preachin' a songI'm not controversial, I'm just speakin' the facts
Put your hands in the air like you got the heat to your backand shake your body like a baby born addicted to crack
And since life is a gamble like the crabstables at VegasI freestyle my destiny, it's not written in pages[
Verse 2]
I hate it when they tell us how far we came to beas if our peoples history started with slavery
Painfully I discovered the shit they kept us secretthis is the exodus like the black jews out of EgyptI keep it reality based wit the music I makebrought the truth to your face with the style I run witlike the navy missile that shot down flight eighthundredI'm like the africans who came here before Colombusand from the 15hundreds until after the model
I watch Latin America get raped in the sorrow
You see the spanjards never left Espace the Cologneand if you don't believe me, you can click on Uni MissionI never seen so much racism in all of my lifeevery program and newscast, all of them whiteIt's like a part tide with 10 percent ruling the restthat type of stress 'll make me put the fucking tool to your chest
Step in my way nigga, I wouldn't wanna be ya
I burn slow like (a) pissing drunk with gonnorrheaI'll do a freak show in North Korea, burning the flagwhile Jay Edgar Hoover politicians dress up in drag
Try to confuse you, makin' it hard to follow this:capitalism en democracy are not synonymous
You swallow propaganda like a birth control pillsellin' your soul to the eye on the back of the dollar bill
But that will never be me, cuz I am leavin' the pastlike an abused wife with the kids, leavin' your ass
Like a drug addict clean and sober, leavin' the stashunbreakable Technique leavin' the plane crashI'm out with the black box and I refuse to return
I spit reality, instead of what you usually learnand I refuse to be concerned with condecending advicecuz I am the only motherfucker that could change my life[Ending]
Some people think I won't make itbut I know that I will
Escape the emptinesscuz that shit is slow and it killsthe flow and the skill
I made y'all believe that it last
You can make the futurebut it starts with LEAVING THE PAST
