I've tried many many times to set the NSFW tag, but it isn't working... added to title

The new age is upon us

And yet the past refuses to rest in its shallow grave

For those who hide behind the false image of the son of man

shall stand before God!!! It has begun

The beginning of the end

Yeah..

Yeah... yeah, yeah

.

The voice of racism preaching the gospel is devilish

A fake church called the prophet Muhammad a terrorist

Forgetting God is not a religion, but a spiritual bond

And Jesus is the most quoted prophet in the Qu'ran

They bombed innocent people, tryin' to murder Saddam

When you gave him those chemical weapons to go to war with Iran

This is the information that they hold back from Peter Jennings

Cause Condoleeza Rice is just a new age Sally Hemmings

I break it down with critical language and spiritual anguish

The Judas I hang with, the guilt of betraying Christ

You murdered and stole his religion, and painting him white

Translated in psychologically tainted philosophy

Conservative political right wing, ideology

Glued together sloppily, the blasphemy of a nation

Got my back to the wall, cause I'm facin' assassination

Guantanamo Bay, federal incarceration

How could this be, the land of the free, home of the brave?

Indigenous holocaust, and the home of the slaves

Corporate America, dancin' offbeat to the rhythm

You really think this country, never sponsored terrorism?

Human rights violations, we continue the saga

El Savador and the contras in Nicaragua

And on top of that, you still wanna take me to prison

Just cause I won't trade humanity for patriotism

.

It's like MK-ULTRA, controlling your brain

Suggestive thinking, causing your perspective to change

They wanna rearrange the whole point of view of the ghetto

The fourth branch of the government, want us to settle

A bandana full of glittering, generality

Fighting for freedom and fighting terror, but what's reality?

Read about the history of the place that we live in

And stop letting corporate news tell lies to your children

.

Flow like the blood of Abraham through the Jews and the Arabs

Broken apart like a woman's heart, abused in a marriage

The brink of holy war, bottled up, like a miscarriage

Embedded correspondents don't tell the source of the tension

And they refuse to even mention, European intervention

Or the massacres in Jenin, the innocent screams

U.S. manufactured missles, and M-16's

Weapon contracts and corrupted American dreams

Media censorship, blocking out the video screens

A continent of oil kingdoms, bought for a bargain

Democracy is just a word, when the people are starvin'

The average citizen, made to be, blind to the reason

A desert full of genocide, where the bodies are freezin'

And the world doesn't believe that you fightin' for freedom

Cause you fucked the Middle East, and gave birth to a demon

It's open season with the CIA, bugging my crib

Trapped in a ghetto region like a Palestinian kid

Where nobody gives a f*ck whether you die or you live

I'm tryin' to give the truth, and I know the price is my life

But when I'm gone they'll sing a song about Immortal Technique

Who beheaded the President, and the princes and sheiks

You don't give a f*ck about us, I can see through your facade

Like a fallen angel standing in the presence of God

Bitch n****z scared of the truth, when it looks at you hard

.

It's like MK-ULTRA, controlling your brain

Suggestive thinking, causing your perspective to change

They wanna rearrange the whole point of view in the ghetto

The fourth branch of the government, want us to settle

A bandana full of glittering, generality

Fighting for freedom and fighting terror, but what's reality?

Martial law is coming soon to the hood, to kill you

While you hanging your flag out your project window

.

Yeah..

The fourth branch of the government AKA the media

Seems to now have a retirement plan for ex-military officials

As if their opinion was at all unbiased

A machine shouldn't speak for men

So shut the f*ck up you mindless drone!

And you know it's serious

When these same media outfits are spending millions of dollars on a PR campaign

To try to convince you they're fair and balanced

When they're some of the most ignorant, and racist people

Giving that type of mentality a safe haven

We act like we share in the spoils of war that they do

We die in wars, we don't get the contracts to make money off 'em afterwards!

We don't get weapons contracts, n****!

We don't get cheap labor for our companies, n****!

We are cheap labor, n****!

Turn off the news and read, n****!

Read... read... read...

I love the atmosphere of this video. Hans Zimmer practically (and rightly) worshipping at the feet of arguably the greatest living guitar player. The flute player on the right literally jumping for joy.

Not sure how the person who posted the video decided it was "improv" (maybe they said), but it honestly still wouldn't even be my favorite improvised solo of his, if true. He's crazy.

The music video is chilling and I highly recommend.

Some quotes:

  • "And Elon, we know exactly what that was bruh"
  • "If you still haven’t said shit about the genocide, know your grandkids one day are gonna ask you why "
  • "Just 2 weeks in think were we’ll be around July"

Edit: Uncensored the song title as requested - I fucking love Lemmy :)

On their long journey that leads them

Towards the light,

Winston Smith shall be their guide.

They′re trying so hard to believe

That two and two always makes five.

(That two and two makes five.)

.

Reason won't concuss the irrevocable truth.

And if there′s contradiction,

Keep the faith, burn the proof.

.

To protect ourselves from the

Superstitions of priests and moralists and the

Trickery of evangelists;

Let us be done with the idea

Of moral law.

.

Where do your values come from?

From inside yourself?

Or from some self-appointed moral cognoscentes

Who disguised their own ideas

As universal concepts?

.

God is dead.

.

Where do your values come from?

From inside yourself?

Or from some self-appointed moral cognoscentes

Who disguised their own ideas

As universal truth?

Rich Mans World - Immortal Technique Lyrics | 04:43 | July 29, 2022 | Berserk Man @Berserk_Man | https://odysee.com/@Berserk_Man:0/Rich-Mans-World---Immortal-Technique-Lyrics


Lyrics:

[Hook]

  1. You know my CEO, corporate steeze, please
  2. Overthrow governments overseas in a breeze
  3. Politicians in my pockets for a few hundred G's
  4. So if I'm ever in court, my assets'll never freeze

[Hook 2]

  1. You know my CEO, corporate steeze, greed
  2. I treat countries like the IMF, down on your knees
  3. Real gangstas run the world, fuck what you believe
  4. I'll cut down a forest while you niggas burnin' some trees
  5. I'll get your family murdered for a couple of G's
  6. ‘Cause your working class money ain't fuckin' with me
  7. You think rappers are rich ‘cause of songs you heard?
  8. My labels make the money and haven't rapped a fuckin' word

[Hook 3]

  1. You know my CEO, masonic steeze, cheese
  2. Only little people pay all these taxes and fees
  3. Since you were born, we've controlled what you watch and you read
  4. And pretty soon we're gonna own the fuckin' air that you breathe
  5. I take what I want, fucker, I don't have to say please
  6. I convince you that it's good for you, take it and leave
  7. You think presidents are a face of a nation?
  8. I put 'em all where they are, end of the conversation^[[1] https://genius.com/Immortal-technique-rich-mans-world-1-lyrics]
