The 3rd World
Immortal Technique & DJ Green Lantern

Immortal Technique and DJ Green Lantern

Third world mother fuckers!

I'm from where the gold and diamonds are ripped from the earth

Right next to the slave castles where the water is cursed

From where police brutality's not half as nice

And makes the hood in America look like paradise

Compared to the AIDS-infested Caribbean slum

African streets where the passport's an a American gun

From where they massacre people and try to keep it quiet

And spend the next 25 years tryin' to deny it

I'm from where they cut your hands off if you make a fist

And niggas throw 'coca cause the job market doesn't exist

Except slave labor modern day company store

And peace keeper's don't ever, ever come here no more

From where the bombs that they used to drop on Vietnam

Kill us children born deformed eight months before they born

I'm from where they lost the true meaning of the Qur'an

'Cause heroin is not compatible with Islam

And niggas know that, but throw that poppy seed anyway

'Cause that food dropped parachute does not come everyday

I'm from where people pray to the gods of their conquerors and practically

Every presidential a money launderer

From where the only place democracy is acceptable

Is if America candidate is electable

And they might even have a black president, but he's useless

'Cause he does not control the economy stupid!

Lock and load your gun, where I'm from, the Third World son

Been to many places but I'm Third world-born

Guerrillas hit and run where I'm from: the Third World son

You polluted everything, and now the Third World's gone

The waters poisoned where I'm from son

Seven hundred children die by the end 'this song

Revolution will come, where I'm from: the Third World son

Constant occupation, leaves the Third World torn

I'm from where the catholic churches are some racist shit

They helped Europe and America rape this bitch

They pray to white Spaniard Jesus, who's face is this

But never talk about the black Pope Gelasius

I'm from where Soviet weapons still decide elections

Military is like the Mafia, you pay for protection

Catamite, sex tours, is what the country sells

And rich white businessmen make the best clientèle

I'm from where they too pussy to come film Survivor

And they murder Coca-Cola union organizers

I'm from where the justice system esta podrido

Fuck government niggas, politic over perico

(Spanish)

Cause Rico laws don't apply to the CIA

And mother fuckers make sneakers for a quarter a day

I'm from where they overthrow democratic leaders

Not for the people but for the Wall Street Journal readers

From where blacks, indigenous peoples and Asians, were once

Slaves of the Caucasians and it's amazing how they trained them

To be racist against themselves in a place they were raised in

And you kept us caged in

Destroyed our culture and said that you civilized us

Raped our woman and when we were born you despised us

Gentrified us, agent provocateur divide us

And crucified every revolutionary messiah

So I'm a start a global riot

That not even your fake

Anti-communist dictators can keep quiet

Fuck your charity medicine, try to murder me

The immunizations you gave us were full of mercury

So now I see the Third World like the rap game soldier

Nationalize the industry and take it over!

Lock and load your gun, where I'm from, the Third World son

Been to many places but I'm Third world-born

Guerrillas hit and run where I'm from: the Third World son

You polluted everything, and now the Third World's gone

The waters poisoned where I'm from son

Seven hundred children die by the end 'this song

Revolution will come, where I'm from: the Third World son

Constant occupation, leaves the Third World torn
