Before we go any further.. |
| [00:13.46] |
I would like to send a message to all the underground mc's out there, working hard |
| [00:18.41] |
The time has come to realize your net worth in the market |
| [00:21.97] |
And stop being a ******g commodity |
| [00:24.48] |
And if you didn't understand what I've just said then you already waiting to get ****** |
| [00:28.64] |
For example; a lot of these promoters are doing showcases |
| [00:32.40] |
Throwing events, and not even paying the workhorses |
| [00:35.36] |
They trying get us to rock for the love of hiphop or rock for the exposure |
| [00:40.61] |
Now look man, I don't mind doing a guest spot for my peeps |
| [00:44.60] |
Or, or, or doing a benefit show, but don't lie to me ************* |
| [00:48.18] |
Coz I find out I'm paying your light bill, I'm ******g you up ************* |
| [00:52.09] |
Besides, you ain't doing this for the love, you ain't doing it for the exposure |
| [00:56.56] |
You charging up to 10$ at the door, and you ain't tryin to give me *************t? |
| [01:00.91] |
So wait a minute... you want me to go shopping, cook the food, and put it in front of you |
| [01:06.42] |
But you won't let me sit down and eat with you? The ************* is that? |
| [01:09.70] |
*************s need to start playing their position, man |
| [01:13.71] |
Just cause you throw a party, a hosting event, or an open mic or a showcase, or a battle |
| [01:19.20] |
That don't make you important at all |
| [01:21.07] |
Without me and everybody like me out there |
| [01:23.78] |
You ain't nutting but a good idea, mother****** |
| [01:26.31] |
So stay in your place |
| [01:27.70] |
|
| [01:29.70] |
And to all these *************ass A&Rs who are too lazy to come up with a way to sell records.. |
| [01:34.81] |
That they keep recycling marketing schemes and imagery |
| [01:38.93] |
C'mon.. |
| [01:40.50] |
There is a market for everything man |
| [01:42.25] |
There is a market for pet psychologists *************. There is a market for twisted |
| [01:46.32] |
*************tfetish video's. For nipplerings, for riverdancing, for chocolate covered roaches.. |
| [01:52.33] |
But you can't find one for cultured hardcore reality and hip-hop? |
| [01:56.48] |
People like you: the house ************* executives |
| [01:59.90] |
And them rich mother******s that own you; you the mother******g machine man! |
| [02:04.30] |
You and all these *************s talking about the same *************t |
| [02:07.00] |
With the same flow over the same candy-ass beats |
| [02:09.98] |
But I refuse the feed the machine |
| [02:12.80] |
And Im not giving any magazine money |
| [02:14.56] |
So maybe my album won't get 5 mics, or double-x-l's, or 5 discs |
| [02:19.16] |
Whatever man, ************* it |
| [02:21.92] |
But then again; you don't own me, and none of you *************s ever will |
| [02:28.10] |
If I'm feeling what you fight for I'm rolling with you to the end |
| [02:31.35] |
But if not, then ************* YOU! |
| [02:35.66] |
And the more that mc's, producers, dj's |
| [02:39.53] |
And independent labels start to grasp the conceptuality |
| [02:43.64] |
Of what their contribution to the business of hiphop is |
| [02:46.95] |
Rather then just the music - the more the industry will be forced to change |
| [02:51.71] |
|
| [02:52.20] |
Oh , heh, and one last thing; |
| [02:54.06] |
|
| [02:55.25] |
You don't have to agree with everything I've said |
| [02:58.08] |
But don't ever be condescending to me |
| [03:00.34] |
Picking up your wack ass friends that rhyme and being like |
| [03:03.85] |
'Ow yeah, Immortal Technique - he's aaiight' |
| [03:06.76] |
No *************.. |
| [03:08.01] |
Your mom is *************, that's aaiight, ok.. |
| [03:10.00] |
Your peoples getting shot dead in the street, that's aaiight |
| [03:14.10] |
I'm the mother******g Immortal Technique *************! The message and the money! |
| [03:18.30] |
And you ain't got either! |
| [03:19.60] |
Remember that! |
| [03:21.01] |
Punk ass mother******.. |
