[00:00.61] Intro: traditional Lakota Sioux song
[00:56.26] Verse 1
[01:02.45] Imagine the Word of God without religious groupies
[01:05.39] Imagine a savior born in a Mexican hooptie
[01:08.18] Persecuted single mother in a modern manger
[01:10.96] You'd crucify him again like a fuckin' stranger
[01:13.71] Tears of the anger are worth more than diamonds or rubies
[01:16.56] Imagine bein' locked up since juvie
[01:18.70] Imagine changin' your life and still goin' out like Tookie
[01:21.88] Imagine niggas talkin' shit when they never knew me
[01:24.72] Imagine a movie that depicted the pain in your life
[01:27.61] Like them kids in Afghanistan chasin' a kite
[01:30.20] For most of the world, that's what it's like
[01:32.29] Imagine if the woman you suppose to love for the rest of your life
[01:35.54] Is set to marry someone else at the end of the night
[01:38.27] They say you fight the greatest jihad in your heart and your mind
[01:41.22] And fight the hardest when you start from behind
[01:43.37] So I dream the impossible all the time
[01:46.16] Fuck a Masonic design — America's future is mine
[01:49.05] Repeat that to yourself, 'cause if culture's a crime
[01:51.64] Them numbers tatted on your arm aren't too far behind
[01:54.44] They can only conquer you after they've murdered your mind
[01:57.18] So rise up, motherfucker, like the sign of the times
[01:59.92] I feel my body weakenin', but my spirit is fine
[02:02.61] Ready to go to war with devils at the drop of a dime
[02:05.41] And fight with my rebel army until the stars are aligned
[02:08.84] Break: Lakota
[02:20.00] Verse 2
[02:20.02] Nostradamus was a white man's prophet
[02:22.24] Who predicated European supremacist logic
[02:24.64] Because the pilgrims and Conquistador columns
[02:27.57] Killed more innocent people than Hitler and Stalin
[02:30.27] I guess the fortune-tellers skipped an antichrist or two
[02:33.50] Brother, give this to the OG's doin' life with you
[02:36.25] And pray for the problems with the Pope psychology
[02:38.69] So the Vatican will offer an apology (for what?)
[02:41.48] For destroyin' the people's liberation theology
[02:44.12] Snatchin' the spirit of Jesus from people in poverty
[02:46.87] Business decisions like keepin' people in prisons
[02:49.60] But had the opposite effect: incarceratin' religion
[02:52.39] That type of crooked politics imposed on a populous
[02:55.53] Is obvious if you read the Northwood documents
[02:58.32] Forget the compliments for what I recorded
[03:00.52] And live for revolution instead of always dyin' for it
[03:03.96] Remember a bullet can never stop me
[03:06.15] My legions are led by the spirit Haile Selassie, watch me
[03:09.38] Even if I'm shot in the chakra, I will prosper
[03:12.07] Doppler effect, bumpin' music out a helicopter
[03:14.97] Tellin' the Persians, "Dig up Zoroaster!"
[03:18.09] And tell them I came back as the son of the Ahura Mazda
[03:21.27] Fish out the Philistine Dagon from the shores of Gaza
[03:24.42] And call Quetzalcoatl flyin' over La Raza
[03:27.26] This is my message to the older gods
[03:29.26] I'll sacrifice you all to the revolution, like the Romanovs
[03:32.43] Lost in the desert like the Hebrews of Israel
[03:35.13] The blood clot system tried to kill me like sickle-cell
[03:38.02] But I survived, and I'm alive to fight another day
[03:40.61] Cocooned in a coma, I can still hear my mother pray
[03:43.35] Sister cryin' out to God, "Please let my brother stay!"
[03:46.15] Walkin' towards the light, but somethin' is pullin' me the other way
[04:06.47] Outro: Cornel West
[04:07.97] Immortal Technique
[04:10.01] Rise up, young brother!
[04:12.00] It is not your time to die
