Civil War - Lyrics - Immortal Technique

Immortal Technique (Spoken): You know what? *** Dirty Harry. We got guns too, ***! *** the Terminator, ***. *** Rambo, ***! The ghetto is like a prison with invisible bars No matter where you at always follows you where you are And it's hard out there for a *** to get outta But it's harder for the *** that he beat the *** outta I got *** underground in the confederate states Ironically runnin' from slavery that prison creates So I never hate on the south, I respect they vision I just hate on the *** that promote Samboism And white execs that love to see us in that position They reflect the stereotypes of America's vision They want us dancin', coonin' and hollerin' Only respect us, for playin' sports and modelin' More than racism, it's stay-in-your-place-ism Our people are trapped in practical black-face-ism So *** a civil war between the north and the south It's between field *** and slaves that are stuck in the house Chuck D: Civil war for the soul of a nation This is a struggle to save civilization Demonstrations overthrowin' the occupation The annihilation of mental colonization Civil war for the soul of a nation We fight for the future of our civilization Destroy the corrupt government organizations Tryin' to survive cultural assassination Killer Mike: Crip ***, blood ***, eses, asians Why the *** we warring with each other's population The devil want us dead, all our population People in folk nation, why the separation Why we got Jamaicans hatin' on Hatians When the British and French *** both nations Mexicans and Blacks kill each other, straight hatin' While the government profits from prison population If you on the bottom, be you Anglo or Asian You gotta recognize the realness of what I'm sayin' You gotta recognize another G ain't the enemy When the police ride, they kill us frequently We gotta make the youth see, where the truth be If you a G, then go and develop GD 50 years of gangs and our people still poor If we really run the streets, we should really end war Chuck D: Civil war, for the soul of a nation This is a struggle to save civilization Demonstrations overthrowin' the occupation The annihilation of mental colonization Civil war, for the soul of a nation We fight for the future of our civilization Destroy the corrupt government organizations Tryin' to survive cultural assassination Brother Ali: Listen, our hearts were torn apart just like Yahweh's Watchin' towers full of souls fall to sawdust Every time we called your office you ignored us Now you holdin' hearin's on us all inside of Congress Microscopes on us, ask if we're Jihadists My answer was in line with all of the Founding Fathers I think Patrick said it best, Give me liberty or death I shall never accept anything less You claim innocence, you play victimless But you gave the kiss of death in the name of self-defense Slavery and theft have brought other nations to the end To pacify your citizenry with success We believe in freedom, justice, security But they're only good when applied universally So certainly if I rage against the machine My aim was only to clean the germs out of the circuitry Heard you need puttin' fear inside your heart Make you burn Qu'rans and tell me not to build a Mosque Me, my wife and babies we ain't never made Jihad We just want to touch our heads to the floor and talk to God Ask him to remove every blemish from our heart The greatest threat of harm doesn't come from any bomb The moment you refuse the human rights for just a few What happens when that few includes you Civil war
