The 4th Branch - Immortal Technique[00:00:00]

The new age is upon us[00:00:03]

And yet the past refuses to rest in its shallow grave[00:00:06]

For those who hide behind the false image of the son of man[00:00:10]

Shall stand before God It has begun[00:00:14]

The beginning of the end[00:00:24]

Yeah [00:00:28]

Yeah yeah yeah[00:00:33]

The voice of racism preaching the gospel is devilish[00:00:38]

A fake church called the prophet Muhammad a terrorist[00:00:41]

Forgetting God is not a religion but a spiritual bond[00:00:44]

And Jesus is the most quoted prophet in the Qu'ran[00:00:47]

They bombed innocent people tryin' to murder Saddam[00:00:50]

When you gave him those chemical weapons to go to war with Iran[00:00:53]

This is the information that they hold back from Peter Jennings[00:00:56]

Cause Condoleeza Rice is just a new age Sally Hemmings[00:01:00]

I break it down with critical language and spiritual anguish[00:01:03]

The Judas I hang with the guilt of betraying Christ[00:01:07]

You murdered and stole his religion and painting him white[00:01:10]

Translated in psychologically tainted philosophy[00:01:12]

Conservative political right wing ideology[00:01:16]

Glued together sloppily the blasphemy of a nation[00:01:19]

Got my back to the wall cause I'm facin' assassination[00:01:22]

Guantanamo Bay federal incarceration[00:01:25]

How could this be the land of the free home of the brave [00:01:29]

Indigenous holocaust and the home of the slaves[00:01:32]

Corporate America dancin' offbeat to the rhythm[00:01:35]

You really think this country never sponsored terrorism [00:01:38]

Human rights violations we continue the saga[00:01:41]

El Savador and the contras in Nicaragua[00:01:44]

And on top of that you still wanna take me to prison[00:01:47]

Just cause I won't trade humanity for patriotism[00:01:51]

It's like MK-ULTRA controlling your brain[00:01:54]

Suggestive thinking causing your perspective to change[00:01:57]

They wanna rearrange the whole point of view of the ghetto[00:02:00]

The fourth branch of the government want us to settle[00:02:03]

A bandana full of glittering generality[00:02:06]

Fighting for freedom and fighting terror but what's reality [00:02:09]

Read about the history of the place that we live in[00:02:13]

And stop letting corporate news tell lies to your children[00:02:16]

Flow like the blood of Abraham through the Jews and the Arabs[00:02:19]

Broken apart like a woman's heart abused in a marriage[00:02:22]

The brink of holy war bottled up like a miscarriage[00:02:26]

Embedded correspondents don't tell the source of the tension[00:02:29]

And they refuse to even mention European intervention[00:02:32]

Or the massacres in Jenin the innocent screams[00:02:35]

U S manufactured missles and M-16's[00:02:38]

Weapon contracts and corrupted American dreams[00:02:42]

Media censorship blocking out the video screens[00:02:45]

A continent of oil kingdoms bought for a bargain[00:02:48]

Democracy is just a word when the people are starvin'[00:02:51]

The average citizen made to be blind to the reason[00:02:54]

A desert full of genocide where the bodies are freezin'[00:02:57]

And the world doesn't believe that you fightin' for freedom[00:03:01]

Cause you f**ked the Middle East and gave birth to a demon[00:03:04]

It's open season with the CIA bugging my crib[00:03:07]

Trapped in a ghetto region like a Palestinian kid[00:03:10]

Where nobody gives a f**k whether you die or you live[00:03:13]

I'm tryin' to give the truth and I know the price is my life[00:03:16]

But when I'm gone they'll sing a song about Immortal Technique[00:03:19]

Who beheaded the President and the princes and sheiks[00:03:23]

You don't give a f**k about us I can see through your facade[00:03:26]

Like a fallen angel standing in the presence of God[00:03:29]

B**ch niggaz scared of the truth when it looks at you hard[00:03:32]

It's like MK-ULTRA controlling your brain[00:03:35]

Suggestive thinking causing your perspective to change[00:03:39]

They wanna rearrange the whole point of view in the ghetto[00:03:42]

The fourth branch of the government want us to settle[00:03:45]

A bandana full of glittering generality[00:03:48]

Fighting for freedom and fighting terror but what's reality [00:03:51]

Martial law is coming soon to the hood to kill you[00:03:54]

While you hanging your flag out your project window[00:03:58]

Yeah [00:04:02]

The fourth branch of the government AKA the media[00:04:04]

Seems to now have a retirement plan for ex-military officials[00:04:07]

As if their opinion was at all unbiased[00:04:12]

A machine shouldn't speak for men[00:04:15]

So shut the f**k up you mindless drone [00:04:18]

And you know it's serious[00:04:21]

When these same media outfits are spending millions of dollars on a PR campaign[00:04:22]

To try to convince you they're fair and balanced[00:04:28]

When they're some of the most ignorant and racist people[00:04:31]

Giving that type of mentality a safe haven[00:04:35]

We act like we share in the spoils of war that they do[00:04:38]

We die in wars we don't get the contracts to make money off 'em afterwards [00:04:42]

We don't get weapons contracts ni**a [00:04:47]

We don't get cheap labor for our companies ni**a [00:04:49]

We are cheap labor ni**a [00:04:52]

Turn off the news and read ni**a [00:04:55]

Read read read[00:04:58]
