[00:00.02]Immortal Technique Feat. Mojo - Reverse Pimpology
[00:00.52]
[00:02.95]Immortal Technique:
[00:03.46]Hypocrites, hookers, sex offenders
[00:06.43]Y'all niggaz wanna be pimps and players?
[00:09.72]This ain't 1997 nigga
[00:12.04]
[00:12.43]I'd rather be rich and unhappy than broke and miserable
[00:14.77]Cause the game don't give a FUCK if you lyrical
[00:17.53]And that's pitiful, so my position is pivotal
[00:20.51]You can hate me all you like but you worship the principle
[00:23.44]I inspire revolution, the government's not invincible
[00:26.59]Vietnam to Venezuela, trick knowledge, they pimpin you
[00:29.69]All up in the hood like McDonald's and liquor
[00:32.21]Selling AIDS medicine, when we know you got the cure nigga (woo!)
[00:35.54]You leery of conspiracy theory but hear me
[00:38.25]Throw a business perspective, it makes more sense clearly
[00:41.46]Cause moreover, that's what we go to war over
[00:44.33]And numbers don't lie unless we do Bush and Gore over
[00:47.46]Free markets make money disingenuously
[00:50.22]But I invest in agriculture, biochemistry
[00:53.11]Smart nigga from the hood, pussy, what type of crime is that?
[00:56.20]But exec's are like, "You from Harlem? Where your diamonds at?"
[00:59.30]Stupid
[01:00.00]
[01:00.47]Mojo:
[01:00.95]Can't dodge the game
[01:01.52]If you lookin for the money or the fame (oh-ohh)
[01:03.55]The players and the rules ain't changed (oh no)
[01:06.59]But see we tryin to leave a name
[01:09.29]So we're turnin out
[01:10.38]
[01:10.86]Immortal Technique:
[01:11.38]Yeah, this is how pimps get pimped and players get played
[01:13.37]Rich people get robbed and, broke niggaz paid
[01:16.27]New York, London, Chicago, Philly and L.A.
[01:19.07]Miami, D.C., B-more and out in the Bay
[01:21.93]
[01:22.40]Mojo:
[01:22.97]We're tearin it out of the frame
[01:24.01]See we deserve to stake that claim
[01:26.47]If we didn't it's a cryin shame
[01:29.40]What we're concerned about is how to turn it out
[01:34.11]
[01:34.56]Immortal Technique:
[01:35.08]Show me a pretty girl, with the world stuck to her
[01:37.03]And I bet you there's a brother that's tired of fuckin her
[01:39.78]Lots of niggaz girls is someone else's one night stand
[01:42.50]I probably made some bitches nervous listenin with they man (ha ha)
[01:45.76]And if that offends somebody, I'm sorry, fuck you!
[01:48.43]What you think, revolutionaries don't like to fuck too?
[01:51.85]You just gotta beware of dangerous coochie
[01:54.31]Cover ya head like a kufi, some rappers think that they live in a movie
[01:57.64]Until they get herpes or clap from a groupie
[02:00.24]And I don't need to shout you out, nigga you know who you be
[02:03.46]Look, most people are only players cause they got played
[02:06.19]And have not, let go of that, shit since the 7th grade
[02:09.65]Yeah you got your heart broke, life sucks, doesn't it?
[02:12.30]But you shouldn't fuck up someone else's life because of it
[02:15.27]Someone did your mother like that, that's why you fatherless
[02:18.18]Before jail or racist cops, that's what the problem is
[02:20.99]
[02:21.42]Mojo:
[02:21.92]Recognize the game
[02:22.81]See who's the one to place that blame
[02:24.87]We gettin trapped in a cycle of pain
[02:28.11]With a generation headed down the drain
[02:31.12]Time we turn it out
[02:32.63]
[02:33.10]Immortal Technique:
[02:33.61]This is how pimps get pimped and players get played
[02:35.57]Beautiful women get, cheated on and gangstas sprayed
[02:38.29]Jersey, Detroit, Denver, Phoenix, Atlanta
[02:41.43]Texas, Vegas, Seattle and fuckin Louisiana
[02:43.70]
[02:44.22]Mojo:
[02:44.78]Regardless of money you payin
[02:45.87]Just spendin, hold a watch and a chain
[02:48.62]But can't offer your children a thang
[02:51.48]What the hell is goin on in your brain?
[02:54.31]We gon' turn it out
[02:56.12]
[02:56.61]Immortal Technique:
[02:57.13]Yeah, I'm not a crack rapper, I'm not a backpacker (ha ha ha)
[02:59.11]I'm not a wack rapper, moonlighting as a bad actor
[03:02.35]I treat labels like the projects, cause I'm a hater (what!)
[03:05.73]Go to the Sony building and piss in the elevator
[03:08.33]Cater to hustlers, crooks and cheap smugglers
[03:10.88]Bootleg my own album, to reach customers (yeah)
[03:14.10]Every city, state and country, the hood love me
[03:16.48]Even Aborigines, in Australia bump me
[03:19.48]They say underground fans are all the color of talcum
[03:22.37]But who the fuck you think buy 50 and Jay albums?
[03:25.52]Who the fuck you think made Snoop and Dre platinum?
[03:28.65]Call up any major record label and ask 'em
[03:31.21]But there's some, devils in disguise in hip-hop
[03:33.88]that belong at Republican fundraisers with Kid Rock (bitch!)
[03:37.34]I hope one of my fans has one of your kids shot
[03:40.00]And blames it on Acid, Prozac and Slipknot
[03:43.04]You a pussy actin hard like a bitch cop
[03:45.56]I'll drop you to the floor like a reverse wristlock
[03:48.76]Eat your food and shit on you, like a highway pit stop
[03:51.59]And make, revolutionaries out of kids that used to flip rocks
[03:54.96]The government, pimped 9/11 to go to Iraq
[03:57.71]And history, repeats itself right on track (how?)
[04:00.70]First as a tragedy, and then the comedy begins (why?)
[04:03.34]Cause it's funny, motherfuckers don't see it come around again
[04:06.63]
[04:07.10]Mojo (Immortal Technique):
[04:07.72]Where, can we be free? (FUCK we gon' be free man?)
[04:11.36]We only wanna live our lives
[04:14.16]Live our lives, with our eyes open
[04:17.93]Open your eyes – open your eyes
[04:21.35]You stupid motherfuckers - you stupid motherfuckers
[04:24.04]Open your eyes, before you die
[04:27.21]
[04:27.64]End
