Lyrics The 3rd World - Immortal Technique
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
It
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
grow
coca
cause
the
job
market
doesn't
exist
Except
slave
labor
modern
day
company
store
And
peace
keeper's
don't
ever
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
grow
that
poppy
seed
anyway
'Cause
that
food
drop
parachute
does
not
come
everyday
I'm
from
where
people
pray
to
the
gods
of
their
conquerors
And
practically
every
president's
a
money
launderer
From
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:
the
Third
World
son
Seven
hundred
children
die
by
the
end
'this
song
Revolution'll
come,
where
I'm
from:
the
Third
World
son
Constant
occupation,
leaves
the
Third
World
torn
I'm
from
where
the
catholic
church
is
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
Kinda
like
sex
toys,
is
what
the
country
sells
And
rich
white
businessmen
make
the
best
clientele
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
niggaz
politic
over
perico
Rebelde
conocido,
enterado
vivo,
como
otro
argentino
desparecido
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
provocateurs
divide
us
And
crucified
every
revolutionary
messiah
So
I'ma
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!
