[Talking]   The new age is upon us   And yet the past refuses to rest in its shallow grave   For those who hide behind the false image of the son of man   shall stand before God!!!    It has begun, the beginning of the end   Yeah..   Yeah... yeah, yeah      [Verse 1]   The voice of racism preaching the gospel is devilish   A fake church called the prophet Muhammad a terrorist   Forgetting God is not religion, but a spiritual bond   And Jesus is the most quoted prophet in the Qu'ran   They bombed innocent people, tryin' to murder Saddam   When you gave him those chemical weapons to go to war with Iran   This is the information that they hold back from Peter Jennings   Cause Condoleezza Rice is just a new age Sally Hemmings   I break it down with critical language and spiritual anguish   The Judas I hang with, the guilt of betraying Christ   You murdered and stole his religion, and painted him white   Translated in psychologically tainted philosophy   Conservative political right wing, ideology   Glued together sloppily, the blasphemy of a nation   Got my back to the wall, cause I'm facin' assassination   Guantanamo Bay, federal incarceration   How could this be, the land of the free, home of the brave?   Indigenous holocaust, and the home of the slaves   Corporate America, dancin' offbeat to the rhythm   You really think this country, never sponsored terrorism?   Human rights violations, we continue the saga   El Salvador and the contras in Nicaragua   And on top of that, you still wanna take me to prison   Just cause I won't trade humanity for patriotism      [Hook]   It's like MK-ULTRA, controlling your brain   Suggestive thinking, causing your perspective to change   They wanna rearrange the whole point of view of the ghetto   The fourth branch of the government, want us to settle   A bandana full of glittering, generality   Fighting for freedom and fighting terror, but what's reality?   Read about the history of the place that we live in   And stop letting corporate news tell lies to your children      [Verse 2]   Flow like the blood of Abraham through the Jews and the Arabs   Broken apart like a woman's heart, abused in a marriage   The brink of holy war, bottled up, like a miscarriage   Embedded correspondents don't tell the source of the tension   And they refuse to even mention, European intervention   Or the massacres in Jenin, the innocent screams   U.S. manufactured missles, and M-16's   Weapon contracts and corrupted American dreams   Media censorship, blocking out the video screens   A continent of oil kingdoms, bought for a bargain   Democracy is just a word, when the people are starvin'   The average citizen, made to be, blind to the reason   A desert full of genocide, where the bodies are freezin'   And the world doesn't believe that you fightin' for freedom   Cause you fucked the Middle East, and gave birth to a demon   It's open season with the CIA, bugging my crib   Trapped in a ghetto region like a Palestinian kid   Where nobody gives a fuck whether you die or you live   I'm tryin' to give the truth, and I know the price is my life   But when I'm gone they'll sing a song about Immortal Technique   Who beheaded the President, and the princes and sheiks   You don't give a fuck about us, I can see through your facade   Like a fallen angel standing in the presence of God   Bitch niggaz scared of the truth, when it looks at you hard      [Hook]   It's like MK-ULTRA, controlling your brain   Suggestive thinking, causing your perspective to change   They wanna rearrange the whole point of view in the ghetto   The fourth branch of the government, want us to settle   A bandana full of glittering, generality   Fighting for freedom and fighting terror, but what's reality?   Martial law is coming soon to the hood, to kill you   While you hanging your flag out your project window      [Talking]   Yeah..   The fourth branch of the government AKA the media   Seems to now have a retirement plan for ex-military officials   As if their opinion was at all unbiased   A machine shouldn't speak for men   So shut the fuck up you mindless drone!   And you know it's serious   When these same media outfits are spending millions of dollars on a PR campaign   To try to convince you they're fair and balanced   When they're some of the most ignorant, and racist people   Giving that type of mentality a safe haven   We act like we share in the spoils of war that they do   We die in wars, we don't get the contracts to make money off 'em afterwards!   We don't get weapons contracts, nigga!   We don't get cheap labor for our companies, nigga!   We are cheap labor, nigga!   Turn off the news and read, nigga!   Read... read... read...
