[00:01.52] Maximal R&B - The Freshest & Hottest R&B/ Hip-Hop Music
[00:03.40]
[00:03.92] Immortal Technique and DJ Green Lantern
[00:07.56] Third World mother fuckers!
[00:12.00]
[00:12.50] Immortal Technique:
[00:13.02] I'm from where the gold and diamonds are ripped from the earth
[00:14.54] right next to the slave castles where the water is cursed
[00:17.37] from where police brutality's not half as nice
[00:19.53] It makes the hood in America look like paradise
[00:22.80]
[00:25.29] Immortal Technique and DJ Green Lantern
[00:32.30] Third World mother fuckers!
[00:33.62]
[00:34.30] I'm from where the gold and diamonds are ripped from the earth
[00:36.37] right next to the slave castles where the water is cursed
[00:39.47] from where police brutality's not half as nice
[00:42.36]
[00:43.31] Third World mother fuckers!
[00:44.19]
[00:44.74] I'm from where the gold and diamonds are ripped from the earth
[00:47.27] right next to the slave castles where the water is cursed
[00:50.04] from where police brutality's not half as nice
[00:52.69] It makes the hood in America look like paradise
[00:55.33] compared to the AIDS-infested Caribbean slum
[00:58.25] African streets where the passport's an a American gun
[01:00.96] from where they massacre people and try to keep it quiet
[01:03.68] and spend the next 25 years tryin' to deny it
[01:06.56] I'm from where they cut your hands off if you make a fist
[01:09.17] and niggas grow coca cause the job market doesn't exist
[01:11.88] except slave labor modern day company store
[01:14.53] and peace keeper's don't ever ever ever come here no more
[01:17.52] from where the bombs that they used to drop on Vietnam
[01:20.14] Kill us children born deformed eight months before they born
[01:23.09] I'm from where they lost the true meaning of the Qur'an
[01:26.02] 'cause heroin is not compatible with Islam
[01:28.52] And niggas know that, but grow that poppy seed anyway
[01:31.03] 'cause that food drop parachute does not come everyday
[01:33.87] I'm from where people pray to the gods of their conquerors
[01:36.43] and practically every president's a money launderer
[01:39.19] From the only place democracy is acceptable
[01:42.03] Is if America candidate is electable
[01:44.52] And they might even have a black president, but he's useless
[01:47.92] 'Cause he does not control the economy stupid!
[01:50.44]
[01:50.84] Chorus:
[01:51.31]
[01:53.07] Been to many places but I'm Third World-born
[01:55.48]
[01:58.60] You polluted everything, and now the Third World's gone
[02:01.48] The waters poisoned where I'm from son: the Third World son
[02:03.89] Seven hundred children die by the end 'this song
[02:06.79]
[02:09.44] Constant occupation, leaves the Third World torn
[02:12.35]
[02:12.88] Immortal Technique:
[02:13.39] I'm from where the catholic church is some racist shit
[02:15.07] They helped Europe and America rape this bitch
[02:17.96] They pray to white Spaniard Jesus, who's face is this
[02:20.38] But never talk about the black Pope Gelasius
[02:23.29] I'm from where soviet weapons still decide elections
[02:25.78] Military is like the mafia: you pay for protection
[02:28.86] kinda like sex toys, is what the country sells
[02:31.44] And rich white businessmen make the best clientele
[02:34.13] I'm from where they too pussy to come film Survivor
[02:36.94] And they murder Coca-Cola union organizers
[02:39.68] I'm from where the justice system esta podrido
[02:42.34] Fuck government niggaz politic over perico
[02:44.97] Rebelde conocido, enterado vivo, como otro argentino desparecido
[02:50.95] cause Rico laws don't apply to the CIA
[02:53.41] and mother fuckers make sneakers for a quarter a day
[02:56.20] I'm from where they overthrow democratic leaders
[02:58.80] not for the people but for the Wall Street Journal readers
[03:01.50] from where blacks, indigenous peoples and Asians were once
[03:04.92] slaves of the Caucasians and it's amazing how they trained them
[03:08.22] to be racist against themselves in a place they were raised in
[03:11.63] and you kept us caged in
[03:12.77] destroyed our culture and said that you civilized us
[03:14.92] raped our woman and when we were born you despised us
[03:18.14] gentrified us, agent provocateurs divide us
[03:20.65] and crucified every revolutionary messiah
[03:23.77] so I'ma start a global riot
[03:25.88] that not even your fake
[03:26.71] anti-communist dictators can keep quiet
[03:29.17] fuck your charity medicine, try to murder me
[03:31.52] the immunizations you gave us were full of mercury
[03:34.17] so now I see the Third World like the rap game soldier
[03:37.45] nationalize the industry and take it over!
[03:39.87]
[03:40.26] Chorus:
[03:40.74]
[03:42.86] Been to many places but I'm Third World-born
[03:45.13]
[03:48.13] You polluted everything, and now the Third World's gone
[03:51.15] The waters poisoned where I'm from son: the Third World son
[03:53.76] Seven hundred children die by the end 'this song
[03:56.49]
[03:59.07] Constant occupation, leaves the Third World torn
[04:02.12]
