Immortal Technique - Reverse Pimpology lyrics

<i>[Immortal Technique]</i><br>
Hypocrites, hookers, sex offenders<br>
Y'all niggaz wanna be pimps and players?<br>
This ain't 1997 nigga<br>
<br>
I'd rather be rich and unhappy than broke and miserable<br>
Cause the game don't give a FUCK if you lyrical<br>
And that's pitiful, so my position is pivotal<br>
You can hate me all you like but you worship the principle<br>
I inspire revolution, the government's not invincible<br>
Vietnam to Venezuela, trick knowledge, they pimpin you<br>
All up in the hood like McDonald's and liquor<br>
Selling AIDS medicine, when we know you got the cure nigga (woo!)<br>
You leery of conspiracy theory but hear me<br>
Throw a business perspective, it makes more sense clearly<br>
Cause moreover, that's what we go to war over<br>
And numbers don't lie unless we do Bush and Gore over<br>
Free markets make money disingenuously<br>
But I invest in agriculture, biochemistry<br>
Smart nigga from the hood, pussy, what type of crime is that?<br>
But exec's are like, "You from Harlem? Where your diamonds at?"<br>
Stupid<br>
<br>
<i>[Mojo]</i><br>
Can't dodge the game<br>
If you lookin for the money or the fame (oh-ohh)<br>
The players and the rules ain't changed (oh no)<br>
But see we tryin to leave a name<br>
So we're turnin out<br>
<br>
<i>[Immortal Technique]</i><br>
Yeah, this is how pimps get pimped and players get played<br>
Rich people get robbed and, broke niggaz paid<br>
New York, London, Chicago, Philly and L.A.<br>
Miami, D.C., B-more and out in the Bay<br>
<br>
<i>[Mojo]</i><br>
We're tearin it out of the frame<br>
See we deserve to stake that claim<br>
If we didn't it's a cryin shame<br>
What we're concerned about is how to turn it out<br>
<br>
<i>[Immortal Technique]</i><br>
Show me a pretty girl, with the world stuck to her<br>
And I bet you there's a brother that's tired of fuckin her<br>
Lots of niggaz girls is someone else's one night stand<br>
I probably made some bitches nervous listenin with they man (ha ha)<br>
And if that offends somebody, I'm sorry, fuck you!<br>
What you think, revolutionaries don't like to fuck too?<br>
You just gotta beware of dangerous coochie<br>
Cover ya head like a kufi, some rappers think that they live in a movie<br>
Until they get herpes or clap from a groupie<br>
And I don't need to shout you out, nigga you know who you be<br>
Look, most people are only players cause they got played<br>
And have not, let go of that, shit since the 7th grade<br>
Yeah you got your heart broke, life sucks, doesn't it?<br>
But you shouldn't fuck up someone else's life because of it<br>
Someone did your mother like that, that's why you fatherless<br>
Before jail or racist cops, that's what the problem is<br>
<br>
<i>[Mojo]</i><br>
Recognize the game<br>
See who's the one to place that blame<br>
We gettin trapped in a cycle of pain<br>
With a generation headed down the drain<br>
Time we turn it out<br>
<br>
<i>[Immortal Technique]</i><br>
This is how pimps get pimped and players get played<br>
Beautiful women get, cheated on and gangstas sprayed<br>
Jersey, Detroit, Denver, Phoenix, Atlanta<br>
Texas, Vegas, Seattle and fuckin Louisiana<br>
<br>
<i>[Mojo]</i><br>
Regardless of money you payin<br>
Just spendin, hold a watch and a chain<br>
But can't offer your children a thang<br>
What the hell is goin on in your brain?<br>
We gon' turn it out<br>
<br>
<i>[Immortal Technique]</i><br>
Yeah, I'm not a crack rapper, I'm not a backpacker (ha ha ha)<br>
I'm not a wack rapper, moonlighting as a bad actor<br>
I treat labels like the projects, cause I'm a hater (what!)<br>
Go to the Sony building and piss in the elevator<br>
Cater to hustlers, crooks and cheap smugglers<br>
Bootleg my own album, to reach customers (yeah)<br>
Every city, state and country, the hood love me<br>
Even Aborigines, in Australia bump me<br>
They say underground fans are all the color of talcum<br>
But who the fuck you think buy 50 and Jay albums?<br>
Who the fuck you think made Snoop and Dre platinum?<br>
Call up any major record label and ask 'em<br>
But there's some, devils in disguise in hip-hop<br>
that belong at Republican fundraisers with Kid Rock (bitch!)<br>
I hope one of my fans has one of your kids shot<br>
And blames it on Acid, Prozac and Slipknot<br>
You a pussy actin hard like a bitch cop<br>
I'll drop you to the floor like a reverse wristlock<br>
Eat your food and shit on you, like a highway pit stop<br>
And make, revolutionaries out of kids that used to flip rocks<br>
The government, pimped 9/11 to go to Iraq<br>
And history, repeats itself right on track (how?)<br>
First as a tragedy, and then the comedy begins (why?)<br>
Cause it's funny, motherfuckers don't see it come around again<br>
<br>
<i>[Mojo (I.T.)]</i><br>
Where, can we be free? (FUCK we gon' be free man?)<br>
We only wanna live our lives<br>
Live our lives, with our eyes open<br>
Open your eyes – open your eyes<br>
You stupid motherfuckers - you stupid motherfuckers<br>
Open your eyes, before you die<br>
<BR><BR>
<BR>
