[Intro: from the film "Scarface"] |
|
[Host:] I've heard whispers about the financial support |
|
your government receives from the drug industry. |
|
[Guest:] Well, the irony of this, of course, is that |
|
this money, which is in the billions, is coming from |
|
your country. You see, you are the major purchaser of |
|
our national product, which is of course cocaine. |
|
[Host:] On one hand, you're saying the United States |
|
government is spending millions of dollars to |
|
eliminate the flow of drugs onto our streets. At the |
|
same time, we are doing business with the very same |
|
government that is flooding our streets with cocaine. |
|
[Guest:] Mmm-hmm, si, si. Let me show you a few other |
|
characters that are involved in this tragic comedy. |
|
[Beat starts] |
|
[Two Men Speak in Spanish] |
|
[Immortal Technique - Worker] |
|
I'm on the border of Bolivia, working for pennies |
|
Treated like a slave, the coca fields have to be ready |
|
The spirit of my people is starving, broken and sweaty |
|
Dreaming about revolution (REVOLUTION!) looking at my machete |
|
But the workload is too heavy to rise up in arms |
|
And if I ran away, I know they'd probably murder my moms |
|
So I pray to "Jesus Cristo" when I go to the mission |
|
Process the cocaine, paste and play my position |
|
[Pumpkinhead - Cocaine Field Boss] |
|
OK, listen Juan Valdez, just give me my product |
|
Before we chop off ya hands for worker's misconduct |
|
I got the power to shoot a copper, and not get charged |
|
And it would be sad to see your family in front of a firing squad |
|
So to feed your kids, I need these bricks |
|
40 tons in total, let me test it, indeed I [sniff] |
|
Shit, this is good, pass me a tissue |
|
And don't worry about them, I paid off the officials |
|
[Diabolic - Peruvian Leader] |
|
Yo, it don't come as a challenge, I'm the son of some of the foulest |
|
Elected by my people...the only one on the ballot |
|
Born and bred to consult with feds, I laugh at fate |
|
And assassinate my predecessor to have his place |
|
In a third-world fascist state, lock the nation |
|
With 90% of the wealth in 10% of the population |
|
The Central Intelligence Agency takes weight faithfully |
|
The finest type of China white and cocaine you'll see |
|
[Tonedeff - American Drug Distributor] |
|
Honey I'm home, nevermind why our bank account's suddenly grown |
|
It's funny, we're so out of this debt from this money we owe |
|
Would've ya...mind if I told you I had two governments overthrown |
|
To keep our son enrolled in a private school, and to keep ya tummy swollen |
|
C'mon, our ****in' home was built on the foundation of bloody throats |
|
The hungry stolen of they souls, of course this country's runnin' coke |
|
I took a stunted oath to hush the one's who know |
|
But CIA conducts the flow of these young hustlers who lust for dough |
|
[Poison Pen - Drug Dealer] |
|
I don't work in the hood (Hit my connect) |
|
Plus what's really good, they supply for the hood |
|
These dudes ****ing crack me up, scrutinize like we inferior |
|
Petrified when we meet in my area (calm down) |
|
My dude's'll shoot until I say so, got the loot? |
|
Give me the YAY YAY like Ice Cube, so don't play with my llello |
|
We won't stop for you bastards |
|
Must choose (?), chop it and bag it |
|
[Loucipher - Undercover Police Officer] |
|
Taking pictures and tapping phones |
|
Debating snitches and cracking codes |
|
Past a couple, blast the fo', |
|
Want any hustler stacking dough with probably crack the blow |
|
And my overtime is where your taxes go |
|
I gain your trust |
|
Get you to hand weight to us because we paid up front |
|
On the low with cameras taping ya |
|
Getting pop away? The prison sentence is going to |
|
Make the officer leave with two ki's out the evidence room |
|
[C-Rayz Walz - Prison Inmate] |
|
Out the evidence room [Said with Loucipher] |
|
Went my fame, truck, boat or plane, they watching you |
|
You think you got work? They copping too |
|
We control blocks, they lock countries |
|
Ya own companies, we had nice cars and sneaker money |
|
Now there's players out there, talking 'bout the holding |
|
With bugs in they house like they down South with windows open |
|
Your dough ain't long, you wrong, you take shorts and (?) |
|
Feds will be up in your mouth...like forks and spoons |
|
So enjoy the rush, live plush off Coke bread |
|
Soon you'll be in a cell with me, like Jenny Lopez |
|
In school, I was a bully, now life is fully a joke |
|
I keep a flow on a boat for Peruvian Coke |
|
Players do favors for governors and tax makers |
|
Fat Quakers smoke crack and sex acts with bad mayors |
|
The walls got ears, you big mouths probably scared |
|
Not prepared to do years like Javier |
|
[Immortal Technique Speaking] |
|
The story just told is an example of the path that |
|
drugs take on their way to every neighborhood, in |
|
every state of this country. It's a lot deeper than |
|
the niggas on your block. So when they point the |
|
finger at you, brother men, this is what you've got to tell them: |
|
[Wesley Snipes - from "New Jack City"] |
|
I'm not guilty. YOU'RE the one that's guilty. The |
|
lawmakers, the politicians, the Colombian drug lords, |
|
all you who lobby against making drugs legal. Just |
|
like you did with alcohol during the prohibition. |
|
You're the one who's guilty. I mean, c'mon, let's kick |
|
the ballistics here: Ain't no Uzi's made in Harlem. |
|
Not one of us in here owns a poppy field. This thing |
|
is bigger than (Immortal Technique). This is big |
|
business. This is the American way. |
