(专辑: The 3rd World - 2008)
[ad libs for first 22 seconds] [Immortal Technique] Immortal Technique, Poison Pen Swave Sevah motherfucker (get 'em right now!) I
leave government spies and murderers wrapped in plastic like Dominican furniture I
put the
iron in you, like the
center of Earth's curvature And make your block turn into the, border of Serbia My flow's dirtier than juiced-up players in baseball And beat you in the
head like a
sock with an 8-ball You got Stockholm Syndrome, and that's why I
hate y'all Cause you be biggin up the
industry while they rape y'all [Poison Pen] Yeah, I
spaz out (spaz out) and beat the
shit out niggaz You fag out (fag out) and beat the
jizz out niggaz Gloves (check) ski mask (check) duct tape (check) Get a
ducat and lost and recovered and break neck Bed-Stuy, BestBuy, clique and rush the
{?} Rip up the
pavement, throw the
whole block on you Pop up, you gotta get it Like Ricky in "Boyz N the
Hood," stoppin to scratch a
lotto ticket [Swave Sevah] Yo, I
feel the
sudden surge given me the
urge to speak (yo what up?) Scream somethin that's absurd and disturb the
peace (fuck y'all!) Quick to throw a
hot verse to beats You see the
music I'm a
prisoner, hip-hop is my work release I'm not the
same Swave you knew, I'm a
whole new person More assertive and aggressive, my attitude worsened I
raise hell on this earth Your rap is over, you Casanova's gon' end up like Gerald Levert, bitch! [Chorus: Immortal Technique, Poison Pen, Swave Sevah] [I.T.] Stronghold tighten the
grip, on the

wrong motherfucker now [I.T.] Married to the
cause and we loyal, we don't fuck around [P.P.] Stronghold overthrow the
whole fuckin underground [I.T.] Secretly run, by commercial motherfuckers now [S.S.] So while you little step-and-fetch niggaz run around [all] Controlled demolition, we bringin the
structure down! [Immortal Technique] Immortal Technique nigga, I'm the
type to flip Cause me and my dogs fight to the
death like Michael Vick's And I
don't hit women so I'm not gonna mangle your wiz A
prostitute with an AIDS race'll handle the
biz [Poison Pen] Hit the
block with a
pen and glock, a
ox and rocks, a
devil spray If that's a
K, play yo' punk-ass infected with leprosy Leave you half-murdered beyond, recognition beat and indecent Leave you with your plastic surgeon for a
remix [Swave Sevah] Yo, aiyyo I'm hard-bodied with it And these scars, contusions, concussions, fractures and pains you suffer from; I
probably did it You ain't worth spit, I
put a
hit out on your mother Then fuck up you and your four brothers [Immortal Technique] You play Scarface when a
microphone's in the
room But you more like Pacino in "Dog Day Afternoon" [Poison Pen] ASCAP clappin 'em, all this rap traps Snatch that diamonds off your neck, worth 50 dead Africans [Swave Sevah] Yo, this dude is truly a
joke That stuff got you feelin tough, must be sniffin +Peruvian Coke+ [I.T.] We spit Cold War syndrome, it shatters the
bones [P.P.] Spray my dependance on your bitch face when it splatters you on [S.S.] Thrown in submission holds and choked 'til you tap out [I.T.] And shut down your party like Whitney Houston's crackhouse [P.P.] Stronghold, live and direct up in your set [S.S.] The
habitual line steppers Swave, Pen and Tech [Chorus] [ad libs to the
end]
