Immortal Technique - That's What It Is lyrics

<BR>

<i>[Invasion]</i><br>

Ok... let's go... talk to em'... holler<br>

Don't you get tired of hearing niggas say that shit?... all the time?<br>

Why can't you shut the fuck up and rhyme nigga?!<br>

<br>

<i>[Invasion]</i><br>

Yeah... yeah... used to run around getting my fight in the streets on<br>

Back in the day before Harlem had a green zone<br>

What good is a good education with no direction?<br>

Like the right to vote with no one to vote for in an election<br>

Like a gun with no bullets in the clip for protection<br>

Like the crowd packed in the front without the midsection<br>

Used to live robbing and stealing and being reckless<br>

It took time for my mind to put the ghetto in perspective<br>

I used to live in the back, of a holding van<br>

Used to be offbeat, like the white girls' shoulder dance<br>

I wrote rhymes a cappella, no beat, behind bars<br>

Shed blood to make it, like the story behind scars<br>

I used to be a battle champion, in the meanwhile<br>

Before some of you little fuckers learned to freestyle<br>

Prematurely senile, underground prima donnas<br>

I was Oliver North during Iran Contra<br>

Cause I, never snitched, and that's backed by evidence<br>

I learned it by watching you, don't ever forget it bitch<br>

Cause everybody knows how the government do<br>

They never snitch on themselves, but they want you to snitch on YOU<br>

Evolution from Australopithecus<br>

Primitive commercial shit to hard-core lyricist<br>

Your wax is useless<br>

Rappers are dropping like Icarus<br>

Technological revolution... nigga picture this<br>

<br>

(motherfucka what?)<br>

<br>

Yeah... I told you what it was, but this is what it is now<br>

Lyrical bullets, packed to the top of the clip now<br>

Treat it like a robbery, I'm shutting this shit down<br>

Fellas put your hands up and the all the women strip down<br>

That's not misogynist, you ostriches, cause I could just, apocalypse<br>

Talk politics to the populace<br>

Or challenge what the market is<br>

With militant caucuses<br>

That'll smash the spirit of Hip Hop out the sarcophagus<br>

This is the curse of Tutankhamen, I bring the drama on<br>

I'm sinful, I eat you, broad daylight on Ramadan<br>

Hip Hop, reparations, now we taking back Delucci<br>

Don't tell me you spent it on coke, like Danny Bonaduce<br>

We're tired of being on the outside, looking in<br>

Wondering what the fuck Hip Hop would've been<br>

This is what it is, as opposed to what it used to be<br>

And this is your corporate tax ID eulogy<br>

Dominant speech is the new breed, that won't let you breath<br>

I'll make you die for what I believe<br>

So we got nothing in common<br>

There ain't no comparison<br>

You got beef with niggas, I got beef with Aryans<br>

White power Nazi European Americans<br>

Rapid Poverty pimps, and fake vegetarians<br>

The resurrection, ripping a ball through the record (wrecking?) section<br>

Flight connection to the gentry board of all guerrilla lessons<br>

Fuck a middle man distributor, I got a choice now<br>

This ain't Volume 1., I got a grown man's voice now<br>

Toured the country four times over, I'm older and wiser<br>

Poisonous words, you'll find strychnine in my saliva<br>

<br>

(motherfucka what?... Bring it to 'em raw)<br>

<br>

I told you what it was, but this is what it is now<br>

50 caliber bullets, I don't need a clip now<br>

Fuck your private jet nigga we shooting the shit down<br>

Bomb wall street and make the stock market dip down<br>

I told you what it was, but this is what it is now<br>

you the shit nigga, I don't care about shit now<br>

I play the role of Abraham, idols get ripped down<br>

Melt the ice caps, and make all of this shit brown<br>

<br>

(No one out there can fuck with me)<br>

(motherfucka what?)<br>

(I speak that real shit)<br>

(to smash the airwaves)<br>

(I don't want to tell you motherfuckers again)<br>

<BR><BR>
