They told me I would never make it, I would never achieve it Reality is nourishment, but people don't believe it I guess it's hard to stomach the truth like a bulimic It's a dirty game and nobody is willin' to clean it But this is for the paraplegic people dreamin' of runnin' Ladies married to men who don't please 'em, dreamin' of comin' Verbally murderous like David Berkowitz when I'm gunnin' Some cowards on the Internet didn't think I would sell Scared to talk **** in person 'cause they stuck in a shell And couldn't understand the pain of bein' stuck in a cell Hell is not a place you go if you're not a Christian It's the failure of your life's greatest ambition It's a bad decision to blindly follow any religion I don't see the difference in between the wrong and the wrong Soldiers emptyin' the clips at little kids and they moms Are just like a desperate ************ strapped to a bomb Humanity's gone, smoked up in a gravity bong By a Democrat-Republican Cheech and Chong Immortal Technique, you never heard me preach in a song I'm not controversial, I'm just speakin' the facts Put your hands in the air like you got the heat to your back And shake your body like a baby born addicted to crack And since life's a gamble like the craps tables at Vegas I freestyle my destiny, it's not written in pages I hate it when they tell us how far we came to be As if our people's history started with slavery Painfully I discovered the **** they kept us secret This is the exodus, like the black Jews out of Egypt I keep it reality based with the music I make Blow up the truth in your face with the style I run with Like the Navy missile that shot down Flight 800 I'm like the Africans who came here before Colombus And from the 1500s until after the morrow I watched Latin America get raped in the sorrow You see, the Spaniards never left despues de Colon And if you don't believe me, you can click on Univision I never seen so much racism in all of my life Every program and newscaster, all of them white It's like apartheid with 10 percent rulin' the rest That type of stress will make me put the ******' tool to your chest Step in my way, *****, I wouldn't wanna be ya I burn slow like pissin' drunk with gonorrhea I'll do a free show in North Korea, burnin' the flag While J. Edgar Hoover politicians dress up in drag Try to confuse you, makin' it hard to follow this: Capitalism and democracy are not synonymous You swallow propaganda like a birth control pill Sellin' your soul to the eye on the back of the dollar bill But that will never be me 'cause I'm leavin' the past Like an abused wife with the kids, leavin' your ass Like a drug addict clean and sober, leavin' the stash Unbreakable Technique, leavin' the plane crash I'm out with the black box and I refuse to return I spit reality instead of what you usually learn And I refuse to be concerned with condescendin' advice 'Cause I'm the only ************ that could change my life Some people think I won't make it, but I know that I will Escape the emptiness 'cause that **** is slow and it kills The flow and the skill, I made y'all believe that it last You can make the future, but it starts with leavin' the past
