| [00:00.61] | Intro: traditional Lakota Sioux song |
| [00:56.26] | Verse 1 |
| [01:02.45] | Imagine the Word of God without religious groupies |
| [01:05.39] | Imagine a savior born in a Mexican hooptie |
| [01:08.18] | Persecuted single mother in a modern manger |
| [01:10.96] | You'd crucify him again like a fuckin' stranger |
| [01:13.71] | Tears of the anger are worth more than diamonds or rubies |
| [01:16.56] | Imagine bein' locked up since juvie |
| [01:18.70] | Imagine changin' your life and still goin' out like Tookie |
| [01:21.88] | Imagine niggas talkin' shit when they never knew me |
| [01:24.72] | Imagine a movie that depicted the pain in your life |
| [01:27.61] | Like them kids in Afghanistan chasin' a kite |
| [01:30.20] | For most of the world, that's what it's like |
| [01:32.29] | Imagine if the woman you suppose to love for the rest of your life |
| [01:35.54] | Is set to marry someone else at the end of the night |
| [01:38.27] | They say you fight the greatest jihad in your heart and your mind |
| [01:41.22] | And fight the hardest when you start from behind |
| [01:43.37] | So I dream the impossible all the time |
| [01:46.16] | Fuck a Masonic design — America's future is mine |
| [01:49.05] | Repeat that to yourself, 'cause if culture's a crime |
| [01:51.64] | Them numbers tatted on your arm aren't too far behind |
| [01:54.44] | They can only conquer you after they've murdered your mind |
| [01:57.18] | So rise up, motherfucker, like the sign of the times |
| [01:59.92] | I feel my body weakenin', but my spirit is fine |
| [02:02.61] | Ready to go to war with devils at the drop of a dime |
| [02:05.41] | And fight with my rebel army until the stars are aligned |
| [02:08.84] | Break: Lakota |
| [02:20.00] | Verse 2 |
| [02:20.02] | Nostradamus was a white man's prophet |
| [02:22.24] | Who predicated European supremacist logic |
| [02:24.64] | Because the pilgrims and Conquistador columns |
| [02:27.57] | Killed more innocent people than Hitler and Stalin |
| [02:30.27] | I guess the fortune-tellers skipped an antichrist or two |
| [02:33.50] | Brother, give this to the OG's doin' life with you |
| [02:36.25] | And pray for the problems with the Pope psychology |
| [02:38.69] | So the Vatican will offer an apology (for what?) |
| [02:41.48] | For destroyin' the people's liberation theology |
| [02:44.12] | Snatchin' the spirit of Jesus from people in poverty |
| [02:46.87] | Business decisions like keepin' people in prisons |
| [02:49.60] | But had the opposite effect: incarceratin' religion |
| [02:52.39] | That type of crooked politics imposed on a populous |
| [02:55.53] | Is obvious if you read the Northwood documents |
| [02:58.32] | Forget the compliments for what I recorded |
| [03:00.52] | And live for revolution instead of always dyin' for it |
| [03:03.96] | Remember a bullet can never stop me |
| [03:06.15] | My legions are led by the spirit Haile Selassie, watch me |
| [03:09.38] | Even if I'm shot in the chakra, I will prosper |
| [03:12.07] | Doppler effect, bumpin' music out a helicopter |
| [03:14.97] | Tellin' the Persians, "Dig up Zoroaster!" |
| [03:18.09] | And tell them I came back as the son of the Ahura Mazda |
| [03:21.27] | Fish out the Philistine Dagon from the shores of Gaza |
| [03:24.42] | And call Quetzalcoatl flyin' over La Raza |
| [03:27.26] | This is my message to the older gods |
| [03:29.26] | I'll sacrifice you all to the revolution, like the Romanovs |
| [03:32.43] | Lost in the desert like the Hebrews of Israel |
| [03:35.13] | The blood clot system tried to kill me like sickle-cell |
| [03:38.02] | But I survived, and I'm alive to fight another day |
| [03:40.61] | Cocooned in a coma, I can still hear my mother pray |
| [03:43.35] | Sister cryin' out to God, "Please let my brother stay!" |
| [03:46.15] | Walkin' towards the light, but somethin' is pullin' me the other way |
| [04:06.47] | Outro: Cornel West |
| [04:07.97] | Immortal Technique |
| [04:10.01] | Rise up, young brother! |
| [04:12.00] | It is not your time to die |
