Unofficial Lyrics Transcription

Immortal Technique / Rockin Squat (Rebel Armz)

[Immortal Technique]

I’m handling genetic tampering,
Classical sampling – remix,
On the roman empire throughout the land again,
Televangeling,
Bring the American anthem its selling,
Fascism with a democratic packaging.
Pontius Pilate i wash my hands of them,
Expeditiously,
Animal farm - doberman pincher infantry.
They need another 9/11 to complete the symphony,
Tryna’ stop a global revolution that was meant to be.
Immortal technique – i always bring the truth to ya’
With the stage presence of Martin Luther King junior,
The sooner the better i'm strapped with a Kevlar sweater,
As i await the new Lucius Septimius Severus
Subtle form of the Fourth Reich is how they planned it,
Turning food into bio-diesels starving the planet,
I free people from the matrix wherever i find them,
And cut the industry’s dope wit’ a lab grown diamond.

Rockin Squat

Ce monde est fucked-up et tu crois qu'on va se taire,
C'est facile de nous faire croire que personne peut rien y faire,
Mais la lutte continue, moi je ramène la possibilité,
D'ouvrir sa vision universelle et enfin se libérer,


[Immortal Technique]

The world is fucked up coz thats the way we made it,
and its easy to think that nothin can change it.
I paint a picture of a possibility for all of you,
revolutions universal vision is followed through.

Rockin Squat

Après les rires viennent les larmes, malgré mes cris d'alarmes,
Le pétrole des Afghanes intéresse toujours Carlyle,
Donc mon style dénonce la spéculation des actions à Wall Street,
La corruption du Tiers-Monde organisée à Maastricht,
Vite, je sors mon juice d'artiste,
Prends les devants rentre sur la piste,
Au milieu du 666,
Moi je remonte jusquà l'Égypte pour analyser le fasciste,
On ne se perd pas dans leur Histoire car leur Histoire est hors piste,
St Patrick cest ..., Mac Donald cest ...,
Machintoch cest ..., IBM cest Danger Zone,
Grande-Bretagne cest Satanisme, Amérique cest Amaru Ka,
La sagesse de la Terre, un jour tu comprendras,
En direct des favelas d'America Latina,
La révolution n'est pas qu'un peura qu'on kique pour soi, négro,
Le relais de l'info, la vraie, pas comme Fox News,
Putain de texte deep, j'aurais du faire du blues,

Rockin Squat - Lyrics translation by forum member staba.

Après les rires viennent les larmes, malgré mes cris d'alarmes,
Le pétrole des Afghanes intéresse toujours Carlyle,
Donc mon style dénonce la spéculation des actions à Wall Street,
La corruption du Tiers-Monde organisée à Maastricht,
Vite, je sors mon juice(1) d'artiste,
Prends les devants(2) rentre sur la piste(3),
Au milieu du 666,
Moi je remonte jusquà l'Égypte(4) pour analyser le fasciste,
On ne se perd pas dans leur Histoire car leur Histoire est hors piste,
St Patrick cest ..., Mac Donald cest ...,
Machintoch cest ..., IBM cest Danger Zone,
Grande-Bretagne cest Satanisme, Amérique cest Amaru Ka(5),
La sagesse de la Terre, un jour tu comprendras,
En direct des favelas(6) d'America Latina(7),
La révolution n'est pas qu'un peura qu'on kique pour soi, négro,(8)
Le relais de l'info(9), la vraie, pas comme Fox News,
Putain de texte deep, j'aurais du faire du blues,

[Translation]

After the laughter come tears, despite my cries of alarm
The oil of afghans women still interests Carlyle,
So my style denouces the speculation on shares at wall street,
The bribery and corruption of Third Wolrd organised at Maastricht.
Quick, I get my artist juice(1),
Take the lead(2), enter the fray(3)
In the midst of 666.
Me I go back as far as Egypte(4) so as to analyze fascist.
We don't get lost in their History, coz' their History is off-track.
St Patrick it's ..., Mac Donald it's ...,
Machintoch it's ..., IBM it's Danger Zone,
Grande-Bretagne it's Satanism, America it's Amaru Ka(5),
The Wisdom of the Earth, some day you'll understand.
Live from favelas(6) of America Latina(7).
The revolution is not just a rap that you enjoy for yourself, guy.(8)
The relay of information(9), the real, not like Fox News,
Fucking deep text, i'd better have done blues.

(1) "juice" is a metaphore.
(2) "Prendre les devants" is a french expression which means "To take the initiative", but "To take the lead" is here better appropriate.
(3) "Rentrer sur la piste" is also a french expression which means here "To enter the fray".
(4) I think he refers to antique Egypt. Find out about links between antique Egypt and global conspiracy and you may understand.
(5) In another song of him, he says "Amaru Ka is America's real name, Amaru for wisdom, Ka for Earth, they've been lying us about Amaru Ka ever since Christophe Colomb".
(6) Rockin' Squat (Alias Mathias Cassel) is really interested by favelas, he lived there and so he speaks about it in his songs.
(7) "America Latina" is spanish for "South America", I suppose you known it.
(8) Many notes to make from this sentence :
- "peura" is french back slang for "rap".
- "kique" doesn't really means something definite
- "juste un peura qu'on kique pour soi" means something like "just a music you listen for yourself"
So the global meaning of this sentence is "The revolution is more than just a music that conveys idea, it's also a concret action".
(9) His texts are really a great source of information.

Ce monde est fucked-up et tu crois qu'on va se taire(1),
C'est facile de nous faire croire que personne peut rien y faire,
Mais la lutte continue, moi je ramène la possibilité,
D'ouvrir sa vision universelle et enfin se libérer,

This world is fucked-up and you think we'll fall silent(1),
It's easy to make us believe that nobody can do anything about it,
But the struggle continues, me I bring back the possibility
Of opening its universal vision and finally free oneself

THank you much for transcribing and translating this song. Killer. Rockin Squat- they a French group?

[Kvdz]

Rockin Squat was the leader of a French well known (in France ) rap group called Assassin. His doing his own stuff now (since the early 00's I believe), but if I recall they continued shows without him. Assassin isn't officially split-up though -I think-, they did a show with Rockin Squat in 2009 (pretty good live from what I saw on youtube, just type Assassin Live Olympia 2009). Their records date back from the 80's & 90's and maybe early 00's.

Thanks, bro. Hell of a good song.

Hello , if I may add a precision on the * (8) kique: it is an abuse of language French which replaces (kick) that we use to say 'send the sound', 'Launch the words', therefore kique( in this text) is an 'action to sing'
so "la révolution n'est pas qu'un peura qu'on kique pour soi " is a metaphore who explain the revolution is not rap song (a "peura") he kick (he sing he rap) for himself .

As you explained, that implies also action concrete, but it also refers, well aware of singing for causes and to be made hear, touch people, these people who has their turn will engage on certain causes…

Assassin is the group in France the less focus on itself and denounces a lot of things since 20 years , they have always been progressive in france musically as for the texts

rockin squat in solo is more egotrip but denounces a lot

THank you much for transcribing and translating, and excuse my english . I wanted just to try to give a precision for the french part

bye
