Harlem Streets - Immortal Technique |
| [00:21.08] |
Yeah Harlem streets stay flooded in white powder |
| [00:25.69] |
Like those mother****ers running away from the Twin Towers |
| [00:28.75] |
Gun shots rock the earth like a meteor shower |
| [00:31.37] |
Bowling For Columbine fair giving the media power |
| [00:34.38] |
Innocence devoured like a chicken spot snack box |
| [00:37.11] |
Government cocaine cooked into ghetto crack rock |
| [00:40.03] |
Corrupt cops false testimony at your arraignment |
| [00:42.86] |
Check to check constant struggle to make the payments |
| [00:45.78] |
Working your whole life wondering where the day went |
| [00:48.42] |
The subway stays pakced like a multi-cultural slave ship |
| [00:51.60] |
It's rush hour 2:30 to 8 non stoppin' |
| [00:53.81] |
And people coming home after corporate share croppin |
| [00:56.62] |
And **** flossin mothers are trying to feed children |
| [01:00.05] |
But gentrification is kicking them out of their building |
| [01:02.78] |
A generation of babies born without health care |
| [01:05.59] |
Families homeless thrown the **** off of the welfare |
| [01:12.09] |
Homicide Harlem BLAOW what's the problem |
| [01:17.76] |
Homicide Harlem BLAOW what's the problem |
| [01:23.51] |
Homicide Harlem BLAOW what's the problem |
| [01:29.07] |
Homicide Harlem BLAOW what's the problem |
| [01:31.04] |
It's like Cambodia the killing fields uptown |
| [01:34.23] |
We live in distress and hang the flag upside down |
| [01:37.10] |
The sound of conservative politicians on television |
| [01:40.04] |
People in the hood are blind so they tell us to listen |
| [01:43.04] |
They vote for us to go to war instantly |
| [01:45.85] |
But none of their kids serving the infantry |
| [01:48.65] |
The odds are stacked against us like a casino |
| [01:51.40] |
Think about it most of the army is black and latino |
| [01:54.26] |
And if you can't acknowledge the reality of my words |
| [01:57.14] |
You just another stupid mother ****er out on the curb |
| [02:00.01] |
Trying to escape from the ghetto with your ignorant ways |
| [02:02.46] |
But you can't read history at an illiterate stage |
| [02:05.78] |
And you can't raise a family on minimum wage |
| [02:08.69] |
Why the **** you think most of us are locked in a cage |
| [02:11.43] |
I give niggaz the truth cause they pride is indigent |
| [02:14.24] |
You better off rich and guilty than poor and innocent |
| [02:17.18] |
But I'm sick of feeling impotent watching the world burn |
| [02:20.24] |
In the era of apocalypse waiting my turn |
| [02:22.97] |
I'm a Harlem nigga that's concerned with the future |
| [02:25.65] |
And if your in my way it'd be an honor to shoot ya |
| [02:28.65] |
Up root ya with the evil that grows in my people |
| [02:31.22] |
Making them deceitful cannibalistic and lethal |
| [02:34.22] |
But I see through the mentality implanted in us |
| [02:37.18] |
And I educate my fam about who we should trust |
| [02:43.42] |
Homicide Harlem BLAOW what's the problem |
| [02:49.03] |
Homicide Harlem BLAOW what's the problem |
| [02:54.77] |
Homicide Harlem BLAOW what's the problem |
| [03:00.45] |
Homicide Harlem BLAOW what's the problem |
