The 3rd World

Lyrics

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!
