[00:04.67](Intro)
[00:07.29]Yeah, *************. Immortal Technique. Metaphysics
[00:14.63]
[00:15.68](Verse 1)
[00:16.20]The bling-bling era was cute but it's about to be done
[00:19.10]I leave you full of clips like the Moon blocking the Sun
[00:21.96]My metaphors are dirty like herpes but harder to catch
[00:24.73]Like an escape tunnel in prison, I started from scratch
[00:27.65]And now these parasites want a percent of my ASCAP
[00:30.62]Trying to control perspective like an acid flashback
[00:33.39]But here's a quotable for every single record exec
[00:36.24]"Get your ******g hands out my pocket, *************!" like Malcolm X
[00:39.30]But this ain’t a movie. I'm not a fan or a groupie and I'm not
[00:42.33]The type of cat you can afford to miss if you shoot me
[00:44.82]Curse the Heavens and laugh when the sky electrocutes me
[00:47.68]Immortal Technique stuck in your thoughts, darkening dreams
[00:50.49]No one's as good as me. They just got better marketing schemes
[00:53.29]I'll lead you to your own destruction like sparking a fiend
[00:56.16]'Cause you got jealousy in your voice like Starscream
[00:59.33]And that's the primary reason that I hate y'all *************s
[01:02.03]I've been nice since *************s got killed over 8-ball jackets
[01:04.87]And Reebok Pumps that didn't do *************t for the sneaker
[01:07.78]I'm a heatseaker with features that'll reach through the speaker
[01:10.58]And murder counter-revolutionaries personally
[01:13.49]Break a thermometer and force-feed his kids mercury
[01:16.30]A&R's tried jerking me, thinking they call shots
[01:19.21]Offered me a deal and a blanket full of smallpox
[01:22.12]You're all getting shot, you little ******g treacherous *******!
[01:25.01]
[01:28.27](Hook)
[01:30.29]This is the business, and y'all ain’t getting nothing for free
[01:33.84]And if you devils play broke, then I'm taking your company
[01:36.76]You could call it reparations or restitution
[01:39.51]Lock and load, *************. Industrial revolution
[01:42.54]
[01:47.96](Verse 2)
[01:48.00]I want fifty-three million dollars for my calloused hands
[01:51.18]Like the Bush administration gave to the Taliban
[01:53.89]And ************* packing grams, *************. Learn to speak and behave!
[01:56.85]You want to spend twenty years as a government slave?
[01:59.61]Two million people in prison keep the government paid
[02:02.37]Stuck in a six by eight cell alive in the grave
[02:05.34]I was made by revolution to speak to the masses
[02:08.24]Deep in the club, toast the truth. Reach for your glasses
[02:11.31]I'll burn an orphanage just to bring heat to you bastards
[02:14.02]Innocent deep in a casket—Colombian fa*************on
[02:16.87]Intoxicated off the flow like thug's passion
[02:19.74]You mother*******s will never get me to stop blasting
[02:22.65]You're better off asking Ariel Sharon for compassion
[02:25.30]You're better off begging for twenty points from a label
[02:28.27]You're better off battling cancer under telephone cables
[02:31.17]Technique chemically unstable, set to explode
[02:33.97]Foretold by the dead sea scrolls written in code
[02:36.88]So if your message ain’t *************t, ************* the records you sold!
[02:39.65]'Cause if you go platinum, it's got nothing to do with luck
[02:42.66]It just means that a million people are stupid as *************
[02:45.38]Stuck in the underground, a general that rose to the limit
[02:48.18]Without distribution managers, a deal, or a gimmick
[02:51.15]Revolutionary Volume 2 murder the critics
[02:53.96]And leave your ******g body rotting for the roaches and crickets
[02:56.96]
[02:57.67](Hook)
[03:02.69]This is the business, and y'all ain’t getting nothing for free
[03:05.31]And if you devils play broke, then I'm taking your company
[03:08.34]You could call it reparations or restitution
[03:11.32]Lock and load, *************. Industrial revolution
