[00:02.48]Chorus:
[00:03.08]Rest in Peace
[00:03.76]Here's another warriors song, rep this life to the fullest
[00:07.57]Mothafucka, say yo' prayers!
[00:10.96]For brothers who died from black-on-black violence
[00:13.83]Rest in Peace
[00:14.60]You ain't payin' respect when you' 'spose to
[00:17.24]Rep this life to the fullest
[00:18.85]Rest in Peace
[00:19.83]This ain't for y'all, this' a toast to them
[00:22.87]Rest in Peace
[00:24.53]
[00:24.91]Immortal Technique - Verse 1
[00:25.49]Here's a toast to the dead
[00:26.53]If you don't drink, smoke to the head
[00:28.45]For the freedom fighters killed by the feds
[00:30.83]For those who died hard in the streets soaking in red
[00:33.52]And died slow asleep in a dream choking in bed
[00:36.47]Here's a toast to the dead for my enemies that are gone
[00:40.49]I'm not a coward so, celebrating that would be wrong
[00:42.75]I pray to God that your soul will come back again
[00:45.16]So I can see you in the next life and finish it then
[00:48.22]A toast to the dead for criminals, burning in hell
[00:50.99]I wonder how many presidents are burning as well
[00:53.78]Emperors, Popes, Senators, Generals
[00:56.46]Amputees feelin' unlucky until they see the vegetables
[00:59.16]A toast to the dead for those who I've forgotten
[01:02.13]Written out of the history by the corrupted and rotten
[01:04.65]Black saints whitewashed during La Reconquista
[01:07.34]Thousands of Indios Spaniards used to conquer the Incas
[01:10.38]F-ck a moment of silence! I need a moment of violence!
[01:13.03]Like the nineteenth century Caribbean Islands
[01:15.79]Long live those who came before, that paved the way for me
[01:18.95]The warriors and scientists that came before slavery
[01:21.68]And if that last lyric was predictable
[01:24.74]Take your clairvoyance and apply it to your life in the physical
[01:27.82]Presumptuous half-hearted homunculus
[01:29.85]Self-destruction is the power without knowing what the function is
[01:33.04]
[01:33.50]Chorus:
[01:34.07]Rest in Peace
[01:38.47]Here's another warriors song, rep this life to the fullest
[01:39.47]Rest in Peace
[01:40.24]Mothafucka, say yo' prayers!
[01:41.27]For brothers who died from black-on-black violence
[01:43.87]Rest in Peace
[01:44.58]You ain't payin' respect when you' 'spose to
[01:47.22]Rep this life to the fullest
[01:49.03]Rest in Peace
[01:49.96]This ain't for y'all, this' a toast to them
[01:53.03]Rest in Peace
[01:54.51]
[01:54.99]Immortal Technique - Verse 2
[01:55.58]Here's a toast to the dead, for all of my fam
[01:58.07]I will never let an idea die with a man
[02:00.87]My rhymes are like Nazca lines designed to give a view-of-this
[02:04.16]J.Dilla's still alive as long as his music is
[02:07.11]A toast to the dead for rap legends and pioneers
[02:09.77]Your legacy won't be forsaken as long as I am here
[02:12.60]Knowledge of the past and, wisdom of the present
[02:15.24]I'll teach and leave in the hands of a worthy lieutenant
[02:17.96]A toast to the dead, for children with cancer and aids
[02:21.37]A cure exists and you probably, could have been saved
[02:24.27]Sad to see, medicine divorce morality
[02:26.27]Corporate homewreckers, pimpin' up a salary
[02:29.32]A toast to the dead, for those that've died today
[02:32.38]The victims and those exonerated by DNA
[02:35.03]The only thing worse than giving freedom to the guilty
[02:37.71]Is killing the innocent, and leavin' your soul filthy
[02:40.57]Immortal Technique, remember me when I'm gone
[02:42.92]I encrypted my lyrics to stay alive in a song
[02:45.78]So you'll always keep a piece, of my spirit inside
[02:48.66]When you struggle to complete what I started before I died
[02:51.59]But some of you, won't survive the changes the earth makes
[02:54.69]Swallowed by tsunamis, hurricanes and earthquakes
[02:57.62]And that's just the first stage of 'you-can-not-reverse-ways'
[03:00.45]And realise that we are one, regardless of our birthplace
[03:03.11]
[03:03.87]Chorus:
[03:04.47]Here's another warriors song, rep this life to the fullest
[03:07.85]Rest in Peace
[03:08.80]Mothafucka, say yo' prayers!
[03:11.27]For brothers who died from black-on-black violence
[03:14.11]Rest in Peace
[03:14.88]You ain't payin' respect when you' 'spose to
[03:17.86]Rep this life to the fullest
[03:19.03]Rest in Peace
[03:20.09]This ain't for y'all, this' a toast to them
[03:22.99]Rest in Peace
