15. Leaving the Past

[Enzo]

[Verse 1]

They told me I would never make it, I would never achieve it
Reality is nourishment, but people don't believe it
I guess its hard to stomach the truth like a bulimick
its a dirty game and nobody is willing to clean it
But this is for the paraplegics, people dreamin' of runnin'
ladies married to men who don't please 'em, dreamin' of cumin'
urbanely murderous like David Berkowitz when I'm gunnin'
Some cowards on the internet didn't think I would sell
scared to talk shit in person, cuz they stuck in a shell
and couldn't understand the pain of being stuck in a cell
Hell is not a place you go, if you not a christian
it's the failure of your life's greatest ambition
It's a bad decision to blindly follow any religion
I don't see the difference in between the raw and the wrong
Soldiers emptyin' the clips at little kids and they moms
I'm just like a desperate motherfucker strapped to a bomb
Humanity is gone, smoked up in a gravity bong
by a democrat republican Cheech and Chong
Immortal Technique, you never heard me preachin' a song
I'm not controversial, I'm just speakin' the facts
Put your hands in the air like you got the heat to your back
and shake your body like a baby born addicted to crack
And since life is a gamble like the crap stables at Vegas
I freestyle my destiny, it's not written in pages

[Verse 2]

I hate it when they tell us how far we came to be
as if our peoples history started with slavery
Painfully I discovered the shit they kept us secret
this is the exodus like the black Jews out of Egypt
I keep it reality based wit the music I make
brought the truth to your face with the style I run wit
like the navy missile that shot down flight eight hundred
I'm like the Africans who came here before Columbus
and from the 15hundreds until after tomorrow
I watch Latin America get raped in the sorrow
You see the Spaniards never left España despues de Cologne
and if you don't believe me, you can click on Univision
I never seen so much racism in all of my life
every program and newscast, all of them white
It's like apartheid with 10 percent ruling the rest
that type of stress 'll make me put the fucking tool to your chest
Step in my way nigga, I wouldn't wanna be ya
I burn slow like (a) pissing drunk with gonorrhea
I'll do a freak show in North Korea, burning the flag
while Jay Edgar Hoover politicians dress up in drag
Try to confuse you, makin' it hard to follow this:
capitalism en democracy are not synonymous
You swallow propaganda like a birth control pill
sellin' your soul to the eye on the back of the dollar bill
But that will never be me, cuz I am leavin' the past
like an abused wife with the kids, leavin' your ass
Like a drug addict clean and sober, leavin' the stash
unbreakable Technique leavin' the plane crash
I'm out with the black box and I refuse to return
I spit reality, instead of what you usually learn
and I refuse to be concerned with condescending advice
cuz I am the only motherfucker that could change my life

[Ending]

Some people think I won't make it
but I know that I will
Escape the emptiness
cuz that shit is slow and it kills
the flow and the skill
I made y'all believe that it last
You can make the future
but it starts with LEAVING THE PAST.

verse 2 line 9: until after tomorrow
verse 2 line 12: you can click on Univision

[Gezus]

^ Yea those make more sense. Univision is a spanish channel in the US so that makes sense.

I'm 99% sure these are correct...

*Paraplegic people dreaming of running
** Verbally murderous
***Wrong and the wong
****Are just like a desperate
*****Blow up
******Pissing drunk

I done a remix of this track aswell...

[Enzo]

yes, over half of all these lyrics have not been checked, i only got half way through rev 1

"Humanity is gone, smoked up in a gravity bong
by a democrat republican Cheech and Chong"

Humanity is gone?

in a gravity bong?

Gravity being the force that pulls a mass to another, in our case, we are pulled to earth, earth is pulled to the sun, etc. etc. etc.

bong =

democrat and republican, the two major parties in USA

Cheech and Chong is a comical duo...

I can't seem to figure out what he means with, smoked up in a gravity bong...

[strange.famous]

gravity bong - you suck up shit from the bong. inhale. so gravity bong. i guess? lol
or we're getting sucked into just smoking and getting high

[psy0nyd3]

^YOU'VE NEVER SMOKED FROM A GRAVITY BONG?!?!?!



^Thats the physics behind gravity bongs.



^And that is practical application of said physics.

[Younes]

^
That's pressure that creates the movement of smoke/air in and out from the lungs... not gravity.

nah but for real.. I can't fucking make out an image in my head...

So we are smoked up in a gravity bong... we just getting fucking high from weed smell or something?

[strange.famous]

going too deep, tech just meant a simple meaning of getting high and not giving a fuck about humanity.

[Younes]

^
Yeah, but the following line says by Republican and Democrat comic duo... how does that connect?
