Immortal Technique Live Lyrics

GI Joe's son talking..
Immortal Technique speaking:
third world looks crazy from up here man
everybody listenin right now right
third world looks crazy from up here man
everybody listenin right now right
third world looks crazy from up here man
everybody listenin right now right
i'm live?, im on the air?, i'm live?
hmm, ima just lay it down yo, that's what it is

verse 1:
from new york to the slums of L.A.
this economy don't guarantee pay
legally bleedin, polluted air that we breathin
our people on the block, plottin and schemin
this country produces backward b______s
even got Indian kids thinkin they fascists
media only reports after it crashes
cut classes, to watch the ignorance of the masses
and then they blame movies and video games
when the actions of a nation influence our brain
they call our generation insane
for the simple fact that we express our pain
a hypocritical t__le
and since antidepressants make you suicidal
I guess anything goes
you could advertise cancer and they'll never learn
as long as you got the right corporate law firm
but I burn systems, turn players to burn victims
why did you even pick them
I sick em with the sickness when I spit this
that should come with last rights and the witness
immortal i speak old school truth with the quickness

chorus:
what you gon say to the world when you live
you can't keep smoker's fire bottled inside
everybody in the world, claimin they ride
but if they put it on they life, they'd probably die

verse 2:
they asked me to tone it down, cause this for the kids
this summer had a realer life than you ever lived
if you doubt me, go ahead look in my eyes
and ima show you the truth, when it's reflecting a lie
faster, smarter, stronger, ima hurt you
forget rap, our whole culture going commercial
body s_____er industry that'll convert you
people with no honor that'll perver you
artists switch to fake gangstas, they no good
then publicists make them come to the hood
ask em to help the ghetto and see them run
drive through it, quicker than OJ or Scott Peterson
I complete the contest, Technique is conquest
violent aggression with the aura of calmness
I speak from the heart, rip speakers apart
I'm the dude that'll rip you right off the peak of the chart
The art of my life, how could you ever criticze
something that you never civilized
sit on the side
before I reach deep down and spit on your pride
cause I'm talking to the world on the air and I'm live
chorus:
what you gon say to the world when you live
you can't keep smoker's fire bottled inside
everybody in the world, claimin they ride
but if they put it on they life, they'd probably die

talking to end..
