[Talking]
Immortal Technique
Revolutionary Volume 2
Yeah, broadcasting live from Harlem, New York
Let the truth be known...

[Verse 1]
You better watch what the fuck flies outta ya mouth
Or I'ma hijack a plane and fly it into your house
Burn your apartment with your family tied to the couch
And slit your throat, so when you scream, only blood comes out
I doubt that there could ever be a more wicked MC
'Cause AIDS-infested child molesters aren't sicker than me
I see the world for what it is, beyond the white and the black
The way the government downplays historical facts
'Cause the United States sponsored the rise of the 3rd Reich
Just like the CIA trained terrorists to fight
Build bombs and sneak box cutters onto a flight
When I was a child, the Devil himself bought me a mic
But I refused the offer, 'cause God sent me to strike
With skills unused like the fallopian tubes on a dyke
My words'll expose George Bush and Bin Laden
As two separate parts of the same seven-headed dragon
And you can't fathom the truth, so you don't hear me
You think the Illuminati are just a fucking conspiracy theory?
That's why conservative racists are all runnin' shit
And your phone is tapped by the federal government
So I'm jammin' frequencies in ya brain when you speak to me
Technique will rip a rapper to pieces indecently
Pack weapons illegally, because I'm never hesitant
Sniper scoping a commission controlling the president

[Hook]
Father, forgive them, for they don't know right from wrong
The truth will set you free, written down in this song
And the song has the Cause of Death written in code
The Word of God brought to life, that'll save ya soul...

Save ya soul motherfucker...save ya soul...

Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
I hacked the Pentagon for self-incriminating evidence
Of Republican manufactured white powder pestilence
Marines Corps. flack vest, with the guns and ammo
Spittin' bars like a demon stuck inside a piano
Turn a Sambo into a soldier with just one line
Now here's the truth about the system that'll fuck up your mind
They gave Al Queda 6 billion dollars 1989 to 1992
And now the last chapters of Revelation are coming true
And I know a lot of people find it hard to swallow this
Because subliminal bigotry makes you hate my politics
But you act like America wouldn't destroy two buildings
In a country that was sponsoring bombs dropped on our children
I was watching the Towers, and though I wasn't the closest
I saw them crumble to the Earth like they were full of explosives
And they thought nobody noticed the news report that they did
About the bombs planted on the George Washington bridge
Four Non-Arabs arrested during the emergency
And then it disappeared from the news permanently
They dubbed a tape of Osama, and they said it was proof
"Jealous of our freedom," I can't believe you bought that excuse
Rocking a motherfucking flag don't make you a hero
Word to Ground Zero
The Devil crept into Heaven, God overslept on the 7th
The New World Order was born on September 11th

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
And just so conservatives don't take it to heart
I don't think Bush did it, 'cause he isn't that smart
He's just a stupid puppet taking orders on his cell phone
From the same people that sabotaged Senator Wellstone
The military industry got it poppin' and lockin'
Looking for a way to justify the Wolfowitz Doctrine
And as a matter of fact, Rumsfeld, now that I think back
Without 9/11, you couldn't have a war in Iraq
Or a defense budget of world conquest proportions
Kill freedom of speech and revoke the right to abortions
Tax cut extortion, a blessing to the wealthy and wicked
But you still have to answer to the Armageddon you scripted
And Dick Cheney, you fucking leech, tell them your plans
About building your pipelines through Afghanistan
And how Israeli troops trained the Taliban in Pakistan
You might have some house niggas fooled, but I understand
Colonialism is sponsored by corporations
That's why Halliburton gets paid to rebuild nations
Tell me the truth, I don't scare into paralysis
I know the CIA saw Bin Laden on dialysis
In '98 when he was Top Ten for the FBI
Government ties is really why the government lies
Read it yourself instead of asking the government why
'Cause then the cause of death will cause the propaganda to die

[Scarface sample]
He is scheduled for 60 Minutes next. He is going on
French, Italian, Japanese television. People
everywhere are starting to listen to him. It's embarrassing.

    General Comment:I just want to say....In my quest for truth...after seeing the film "loose change 911" I started questioning things we have been told to us by our government concerning 9/11. Then along came this song which is soooooooooooooo informative. I picked thru it piece by piece digging for more info on each line. My outlook on our Government and this war has changed for life and now I don't know if I will ever be able to trust it again. MY EYES ARE OPENED NOW!!!!! Brilliant lyrics!!!!!!!

    General Comment:Tech is pretty straight forward, there really isnt much to interpret as far as what is means. The only thing that i am wondering is what is "the cause of death," especially when he says
    "Read it yourself instead of asking the Government why
    'Cause then the Cause of Death will cause the propaganda to die..

    could it be, perhaps, we the people? im really not sure...

    General Comment:"The Devil crept into Heaven, God overslept on the 7th

    I think the 7th would be referring to Pearl Harbor (Dec.7,1941)

    I think in that line he referrs to how crooked the Government has become between the Pearl Harbor attack and 9/11

    Thats a great line though.

    General Comment:Although it's a tough decision, I'd have to say that this is my favorite IT song. A couple lyric corrections would make it better.
    "Just like the CIA trained terrorists to the fight"
    How to fight. That's much better.
    Also.
    "The Word of God brought to life, that'll save ya soul"
    Brought to LIGHT. Much better as well.

    This song will lead you to so much shit though. As soon as you start looking into one thing in the song it leads you to another, it has so much information, it's amazing.
