Immortal Technique — The Cause of Death

[Intro] Immortal Technique Revolutionary Vol. 2, yeah Broadcasting live from Harlem, New York (Yeah) Let the truth be known [Verse 1] You better watch what the fuck flies out of your mouth Or I'ma hijack a plane and fly it into your house Burn your apartment with your family tied to the couch And slit your throat so when you scream only blood comes out I doubt that there could ever be a more wicked MC 'Cause AIDS-infested child molesters aren't sicker than me I see the world for what it is, beyond the white and the black The way the government downplays historical facts 'Cause the United States sponsored the rise of the Third Reich Just like the CIA trained terrorists how to fight Build bombs and sneak box cutters onto a flight When I was a child, the Devil himself bought me a mic But I refused the offer, 'cause God sent me to strike With skills unused like fallopian tubes on a dyke My words'll expose George Bush and bin Laden As two separate parts of the same seven-headed dragon And you can't fathom the truth so you don't hear me You think Illuminati's just a fuckin' conspiracy theory? That's why conservative racists are all runnin' shit And your phone is tapped by the federal government So I'm jammin' frequencies in your brain when you speak to me Technique’ll rip a rapper to pieces indecently Pack weapons illegally, 'cause I'm never hesitant Sniper-scopin' a commission controllin' the president [Chorus] Father, forgive them, for they don't know right from wrong The truth’ll set you free, written down in this song And the song has the cause of death written in code The word of God brought to life, that'll save your soul Save your soul, motherfucker, save your soul Yeah, yeah, yeah [Verse 2] I hacked the Pentagon for self-incriminating evidence Of Republican-manufactured white powder pestilence Marines Corps flak vest, with the guns and ammo Spittin' bars like a demon stuck inside a piano Turn a Sambo into a soldier, with just one line So here's the truth about the system that'll fuck up your mind They gave al-Qaeda six billion dollars in 1989 to 1992 And now the last chapters of Revelations are comin' true And I know a lot of people find it hard to swallow this 'Cause subliminal bigotry makes you hate my politics But you act like America wouldn't destroy two buildings In a country that was sponsoring bombs dropped on our children I was watchin' the towers, and though I wasn't the closest I saw them crumble to the earth like they were full of explosives And they thought nobody noticed the news report that they did About the bombs planted on the George Washington Bridge Four non-Arabs arrested during the emergency And then it disappeared from the news permanently They dubbed a tape of Osama, and they said it was proof Jealous of our freedom? I can't believe you bought that excuse! Rockin' a motherfuckin' flag don't make you a hero Word to Ground Zero The Devil crept into Heaven, God overslept on the seventh The New World Order was born on September 11th [Chorus] Father, forgive them, for they don't know right from wrong The truth’ll set you free, written down in this song And the song has the cause of death written in code The word of God brought to life, that'll save your soul Save your soul, motherfucker, save your soul [Verse 3] And just so conservatives don't take it to heart I don't think Bush did it, 'cause he isn't that smart He's just a stupid puppet takin' orders on his cell phone From the same people that sabotaged Senator Wellstone The military industry got it poppin' and lockin' Lookin' for a way to justify the Wolfowitz Doctrine And as a matter of fact, Rumsfeld, now that I think back Without 9/11, you couldn't have a war in Iraq Or a defense budget of world conquest proportions Kill freedom of speech and revoke the right to abortion Tax cut extortion, a blessing to the wealthy and wicked But you still have to answer to the Armageddon you scripted And Dick Cheney, you fuckin' leech, tell ‘em your plans About building your pipelines through Afghanistan And how Israeli troops trained the Taliban in Pakistan You might have some house niggas fooled, but I understand Colonialism is sponsored by corporations That's why Halliburton gets paid to rebuild nations Tell me the truth, I don't scare into paralysis I know the CIA saw bin Laden on dialysis In '98 when he was top ten for the FBI Government ties is really why the government lies Read it yourself instead of askin' the government why 'Cause then the cause of death'll cause the propaganda to die [Outro] Father Forgive them [Sample] He is scheduled for 60 Minutes next. He’s going on French, British, Italian, Japanese television. People everywhere are starting to listen to him. It's embarrassing—
