I'm gonna stand up
Take my people with me
Together we are going
To a brand new home
Far across the river
Do you hear freedom calling?
Calling me to answer
Gonna keep on keepin' on

“I remembered you was conflicted

Misusing your influence, sometimes I did the same

Abusing my power full of resentment

Resentment that turned into a deep depression”

-This song was used during the Black Lives Matter movement’s against police brutality. In these lyrics he talks about misuse of influence and power, and that’s exactly what police brutality is. 

This song has been famous and used for a while for Mexicans that protest to fight for justice. The song says “They have shouted at me a thousand times I should go back to my country because there’s no room for me here I want to remind the gringos: I didn’t cross the border, the border crossed me.”  Basically how Americans don’t want us here but our people were here first . They don’t want us here and America was born free but the man divided it. A lot of people are anti-Mexican especially after trump became president. Even him saying we “are bringing drugs, crime and we are rapist. “ No matter how much they try to divide us “somos más americanos” 🇲🇽🇲🇽

They kill ten of me to get the job correct
To serve, protect, and break a n****'s neck
'Cause I'm the one with the trunk of funk
And "F**k tha Police" in the tape deck
You should listen to me 'cause there's more to see
Call my neighborhood a ghetto 'cause it houses minorities
The other color don't know you can run but not hide
These are tales from the darkside''

In these specific lines it speaks about how African Americans are viewed and racially profiled by the LAPD and how there race is always harassed for basically doing nothing also speaking on how cops kill African Americans and no one speaks about it because to the news its just another ''ghetto story'' and how where they live is called a ghetto because a certain race lives in that area that the police dont like.

I'm still looking for my own version of America
One without the gun, where the flag can freely fly
No bombs in the sky, only fireworks when you and I collide
It's just a dream I had in mind
It's just a dream I had in mind
It's just a dream I had in mind

I flew back to New York City
Missed that Hudson River line
Took a train up to Lake Placid
That's another place and time, where
I used to go to drive-ins and listen to the blues
So many things that I think twice about before I do, no

I'm still looking for my own version of America
One without the gun, where the flag can freely fly
No bombs in the sky, only fireworks when you and I collide
It's just a dream I had in mind
It's just a dream I had in mind
It's just a dream I had in mind
It's just a dream I had in mind

This song is about the mass shootings that happen nationwide and how we as people need to do something about it and make a change

Everyone trying to be trife, never face the consequences
You probably only did a month for minor offenses
Ask a 🤬 doing life if he had another chance
But then again there's always the wicked that knew in advance
Dance forever with the devil on a cold cell block
But that's what happens when you 🤬, murder and sell rock
Devils used to be gods, angels that fell from the top

There's no diversity because we're burning in the melting pot

So Billy started robbing 🤬, anything he could do
He'd get his respect back, in the eyes of his crew
Starting fights over little 🤬, up on the block
Stepped up to selling mothers and brothers the crack rock
Working overtime for making money for the crack spot
Hit the jackpot and wanted to move up to cocaine
Fulfilling the scarface fantasy stuck in his brain
Tired of the block guys treating him the same
He wanted to be major like the cut throats and the thugs
But when he tried to step to 'em, 🤬 showed him no love
They told him any 🤬 coward can sell drugs
Any female dog guy with a gun can bust slugs
Any guy with a red shirt can front like a blood
Even Puffy smoked a 🤬 up in a club
But only a real thug can stab someone 'til they die
Standing in front of them, staring straight into their eyes
Billy realized that these men were well guarded
And they wanted to test him, before business started
Suggested forcing himself on a girl to prove he was cold hearted
So now he had a choice between going back to his life
Or making money with made men, up in the cife
His dreams about cars and ice, made him agree

A hardcore 🤬 is all he ever wanted to be
And so he met them friday night at a quarter to three

Everyone trying to be trife never face the consequences
You probably only did a month for minor offenses
Ask a guy doing life if he had another chance
But then again there's always the wicked that knew in advance
Dance forever with the devil on a cold cell block

But that's what happens when you 🤬, murder and sell rock
Devils used to be gods, angels that fell from the top
There's no diversity because we're burning in the melting pot

They drove around the projects slow while it was raining

Smoking blunts, drinking and joking for entertainment
Until they saw a woman on the street walking alone
Three in the morning, coming back from work, on her way home
And so they quietly got out the car and followed her
Walking through the projects, the darkness swallowed her
They wrapped her shirt around her head and knocked her onto the floor
This is it kid, now you got your chance to be raw
So Billy yoked her up and grabbed the chick by the hair
And dragged her into a lobby that had nobody there
She struggled hard but they forced her to go up the stairs
They got to the roof and then held her down on the ground
Screaming, "Shut the frick up" and "Stop moving around"
The shirt covered her face, but she screamed to the clouds
So Billy stomped on the female dog, until he'd broken her jaw
Them dirty bastards knew exactly what they were doing
They kicked her until they cracked her ribs and she stopped moving
Blood leaking through the cloth, she cried silently
And then they all proceeded to force themselves on her violently
Billy was meant to go first, but each of them took a turn
Ripping her up, and choking her until her throat burned
A broken jaw mumbled for god but they weren't concerned
When they were done and she was lying bloody, broken and bruised
One of them guys pulled out a brand new .22

They told him that she was a witness of what she'd gone through
And if he killed her, he was guaranteed a spot in the crew

He thought about it for a minute, she was practically dead
And so he leaned over and put the gun right to her head

I'm falling and I can't turn back
I'm falling and I can't turn back

Right before he pulled the trigger, and ended her life
He thought about the cocaine with the platinum and ice
And he felt strong standing along with his new brothers
Cocked the gat to her head, and pulled back the shirt cover
But what he saw made him start to cringe and stutter
'Cause he was staring into the eyes of his own mother
She looked back at him and cried, 'cause he had forsaken her
She cried more painfully than when they were raping her
His whole world stopped, he couldn't even contemplate
His corruption had succesfully changed his fate
And he remembered how his mom used to come home late
Working hard for nothing, 'cause now what was he worth
He turned away from the woman that had once given him birth
And crying out to the sky 'cause he was lonely and scared
But only the devil responded, 'cause God wasn't there
And right then he knew what it was to be empty and cold
And so he jumped off the roof and died with no soul
They say death takes you to a better place, but I doubt it
After that they killed his mother, and never spoke about it
And listen 'cause the story that I'm telling is true
'Cause I was there with Billy Jacobs and I raped his mom too
And now the devil follows me everywhere that I go
In fact, I'm sure he's standing among one of you at my shows
And every street cypher listening to little thugs flow
He could be standing right next to you, and you wouldn't know
The devil grows inside the hearts of the selfish and wicked
White, brown, yellow and black, color is not restricted
You have a self destructive destiny when you're inflicted
And you'll be one of God's children that fell from the top
There's no diversity because we're burning in the melting pot
So when the devil wants to dance with you, you better say never
Because the dance with the devil might last you forever

Oh, y'all mofos thought it was over, huh?
Well, it's not, you didn't count on a fallen angel gettin' back
Into the grace of God and comin' after you
Y'all levas ain't poop, your producers ain't 🤬
Your frickin ' A & R ain't 🤬
I'll frickin' wipe my 🤬 with your demo deal
Yo, Diabolic, take this mofos head off!

Go 'head and grip Glocks
I'll snap your trigger finger in six spots
You'll have to lip lock with hypodermic needles to lick shots
I'll watch you topple flat
Put away your rings and holla back
Can't freestyle, you're screwed off the top, like bottle caps
Beneath the surface
I'm overheatin' your receiving circuits

By unleashin' deeper verses than priests speak in churches
What you preach is worthless
Your worship defeat the purpose
Like President Bush takin' bullets for the secret service
Beyond what y'all fathom, I 🤬 on cats and jaw tap 'em
Show no compassion, like havin' a straight-faced 🤬
Tour jack 'em, have his half-a-10 female dog suck my friend's pp
In the meantime, you can french kiss this clenched fist

Diabolic, a one-man brigade spreadin' cancer plague
Fist-🤬' a levas face, holdin' a hand grenade
So if I catch you bluffin', baggot, you're less than nothin'
I just had to get that stress off my chest like breast reduction

You mofos are nothin', you cannot harm me
I'll resurrect every aborted baby and start an army
Storm the planet, huntin' you down, 'cause I'm on a mission
To split your body into a billion one-celled organisms
Immortal Technique'll destroy your religion, you stupid 🤬
You're faker than blue-eyed crackers nailed to a crucifix
I'm 'bout to blow up, like NASA Challenger computer chips

Arsenic language transmitted revolutionarily
I'm like time itself, I'm gonna kill you inevitably
Chemically bomb you, 🤬 usin' a chrome piece
I'm Illmatic, you won't make it home, like Jerome's niece
I'll sever your head diagonally for thinkin' of dissin' me
And then use your dead body to write my name in calligraphy
This puppet democracy brain-washed your psychology
So you're nothin', like diversity without equality

And your crew is full of more faggots than Greek mythology
Usin' numerology to count the people I sent to Heaven
Produces more digits than 22 divided by seven
You're like Kevin Spacey, your style is usually suspect
You never killed a cop, you not a 🤬' thug yet
Your mind is empty and spacious
Like the part of the brain that appreciates culture in a racist
Face it, you're too basic, you're never gonna make it
Like children walkin' through Antarctica, 🤬-naked

- this is connected to a non violence protest because immortal technique is sharing a story thats true, altho he wasn't involved hes trying ti spread awareness.

“Ellos pintaron la raya para que yo la
Brincara y me llaman invasor
Es un error bien marcado, nos quitaron
Ocho estados. ¿Quién es aquí el invasor?”

“Soy extranjero en mi tierra, y no vengo
A darles guerra. Soy hombre trabajador”


    - This song is talking about how people are raíces towards Mexicans and tell the to go back to their country when in reality their just trying to work and provide food for their family’s in a country that’s theirs that America 🇺🇸 stoled from Mexico. 🇲🇽

War, I despise
'Cause it means destruction of innocent lives
War means tears to thousands of mother's eyes
When their sons go off to fight
And lose their lives“
In this song the artist protests the occurrence of wars and how they affect innocent civilians and people who never wanted a war in the first place. They emphasize how common families get torn apart during war and its emotional consequences.
