Underground Railroad Freestyle
Immortal Technique Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I hacked the pentagon for self incrminating evidence
a republican manufactured white powder pestilance
marine core flack vest with the guns and ammo
spittin bars like a demon stuck inside a piano
turn a sambo into a soldier with just one line
so heres the truth about the system that'll f' up your mind
they gave alqeada 6 million dollars in 1989 to 1992
and now the last chapters of revelations are coming true
and i know alotta people find it hard to follow this
because subliminal bigotry makes you hate my politics
but u act like america wouldnt destroy 2 buildings
in a country that was sponsoring bombs getting dropped on children
i was watching the towers
although i wasnt the closest
i saw them crumble to the earth like they were full of explosives
and they thought nobody noticed the news report that they did
about the bombs planted on the george washington bridge
four non arabs arrested during the emergency
and then it dissapeared in the news permanantly
they dubbed a tape ossama
and they said it was proof
jeleous of our freedom
i cant believe u bought that excuse
rockin a mutha f'ing flag dont make you a hero
word to ground zero
the devil crept into heaven
god overslept on the 7th
the new world order was born on sept 11th
and just so conservatives dont take it to heart
i dont think bush did it
cuz he isnt that smart
hes just a stupid puppet taking orders on his cell phone
and the same people that sabotaged senator wellstone
the military industry has it popping and locking
looking for a way to justify the wolfowitz doctrine
as a matter of fact
rumsfeld now that i think back
without 9-11 u couldnt have a war in iraq
or a defense budget of world conquest proportions
kill freedom of speech and have the right to revoke abortion
tax cut extortion
a blessing to the wealthy and wicked
but u still have to answer to the armaggeadon you scripted
and dick cheney you f'ing leech
you dont you tell them your plans
about putting your pipes lines through afghanistan
and how isreali troops trained the taliban
through pakistan
you might have some house niggas food
but i understand
colonialism is sponsored by corporations
thats why halliburton gets paid to rebuild nations
so tell me the truth i dont scare into paralysis
i know that the cia saw bin laden on dialysis
in 98 when he was top ten in the fbi
government ties
is really why the government lies
read it yourself
instead of asking the government why




because then the cause of death
will cause the propoganda to die

Line by Line Meaning

I hacked the pentagon for self-incriminating evidence
I was able to uncover evidence that could implicate myself by illegally breaking into the computer systems of the U.S. Department of Defense.


A Republican manufactured white powder pestilence

Marine Core flack vest with the guns and ammo

Spittin bars like a demon stuck inside a piano

Turn a Sambo into a soldier with just one line
I can inspire and empower a Black person who was trained by Europeans to feel inferior to become a forceful and virtuous figure with just a few words.


So here's the truth about the system that'll f**k up your mind
I unveil the real nature of the system that supports the White power structure that is designed to disorient and mentally control people of color.


They gave al-Qaeda 6 million dollars in 1989 to 1992
The United States government financially supported the terrorist group al-Qaeda during its infancy in the late 80s through the early 90s.


And now the last chapters of Revelations are coming true
The events of the Book of Revelation in the Bible are prophesized and current world events suggest that these events are in motion.


And I know a lot of people find it hard to follow this
Many people have difficulty comprehending the truth behind the complex political and social issues that I discuss.


Because subliminal bigotry makes you hate my politics
The subtle, underlying prejudice that exists within individuals and society results in a negative reaction to my political views and activism based on biased perceptions of marginalized groups.


But you act like America wouldn't destroy 2 buildings
The United States government is capable of orchestrating a major attack that could result in the crumbling of the Twin Towers in New York City.


In a country that was sponsoring bombs getting dropped on children
The U.S. government is responsible for dropping bombs that result in the deaths and harm of innocent, helpless children in other countries.


I was watching the towers, although I wasn't the closest
I was a witness to the events that transpired during the 9/11 terrorist attacks from a distance.


I saw them crumble to the earth like they were full of explosives
The collapse of the Twin Towers looked like it was caused by an explosive force rather than the impact of a commercial airplane.


And they thought nobody noticed the news report that they did
The media attempted to bury the story about the discovery of bombs planted on the George Washington Bridge as part of the orchestrated attack.


About the bombs planted on the George Washington Bridge
The bombs that were placed on the George Washington Bridge were planted as a part of an elaborate plan to cause maximum damage and death during the 9/11 attacks.


Four non-Arabs arrested during the emergency
Four individuals who were not of Arab descent were taken into custody during the response to the terrorist attacks.


And then it disappeared in the news permanently
The news story about the arrests of the four non-Arabs was quickly swept under the rug and never mentioned again.


They dubbed a tape Osama and they said it was proof
The U.S. government portrays Osama bin Laden as the mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks even though the real entity behind it remains unknown.


Jealous of our freedom, I can't believe you bought that excuse
The government uses the excuse that terrorists are envious of American freedom as justification for their hatred towards the United States, but in reality, this stance is uninformed and propagated by the media.


Rockin a motherf***in flag don't make you a hero
Proudly displaying the American flag is not synonymous with being a hero or righteous, moral individual.


Word to ground zero
I give respect to the site of the 9/11 attacks by including it in my lyrics.


The devil crept into heaven, God overslept on the 7th
On the seventh day, Satan infiltrated heaven and God was unaware and did not intervene.


The new world order was born on Sept 11th
The events of 9/11 ushered in a new era of government control and suppression through mass surveillance and military action.


And just so conservatives don't take it to heart
My message is not meant to solely condemn conservative individuals or politicians and their beliefs.


I don't think Bush did it because he isn't that smart
President George W. Bush was not intelligent or competent enough to personally orchestrate the events of 9/11, but many believe he was a pawn in a larger plan.


He's just a stupid puppet taking orders on his cell phone
Bush was a pawn controlled by more powerful and influential individuals pulling his strings from behind the scenes.


And the same people that sabotaged Senator Wellstone
Individuals able to orchestrate the death of progressive, left-wing politician Paul Wellstone were involved in the events on 9/11.


The military industry has it popping and locking
The military and defense contractors are creatively finding ways to justify unnecessary military action, and profiting from this justification.


Looking for a way to justify the Wolfowitz Doctrine
The Wolfowitz Doctrine is a U.S. military policy introduced in 1992 that involves enforcing American supremacy worldwide through military intervention, and the military is working to justify the doctrine.


As a matter of fact, Rumsfeld now that I think back
Upon reflection, it's clear that former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld was likely involved in the events of 9/11.


Without 9-11, you couldn't have a war in Iraq
President Bush used the events of September 11th as a pretext to justify a war in Iraq that would not have otherwise been approved by Congress or the American public.


Or a defense budget of world conquest proportions
The United States defense budget is out of control and exceeds far beyond the needs of national security, but instead financed for purposes of global military domination.


Kill freedom of speech and have the right to revoke abortion
The government is motivated to limit free speech and to suppress a woman's right to make decisions over her own body and reproductive health.


Tax cut extortion a blessing to the wealthy and wicked
The wealthy class is the primary beneficiary of tax cuts designed to enrich them, and this reinforces their exploitation of others that are financially struggling.


But you still have to answer to the Armageddon you scripted
The individuals responsible for orchestrating 9/11 will eventually have to answer for their actions and face judgment - either in this life, in the afterlife or in history.


And Dick Cheney, you f**king leech
Former Vice President Dick Cheney is nothing more than a parasite, sucking the blood money out of the American people and supporting a culture of war.


You don't you tell them your plans about putting your pipes through Afghanistan
Cheney is not forthcoming about his business dealings with Afghanistan and the potential influence it may have on United States military action within the region.


And how Israeli troops trained the Taliban through Pakistan
The United States military worked with Israeli forces to train members of the Taliban via Pakistan's ISI (Inter-Services Intelligence).


You might have some house n****s fooled
Cheney's actions and tactics may not be immediately obvious to everyone, but some people have started to see through his facade of patriotism.


But I understand colonialism as sponsored by corporations
The concept of colonialism and imperialism is supported and funded by international corporations and bodies that benefit from these exploitative practices.


That's why Halliburton gets paid to rebuild nations
Halliburton, a company with close ties to Cheney, secures lucrative contracts to rebuild countries that the United States has bombed and destroyed, perpetuating a cycle of violence and financial gain.


So tell me the truth, I don't scare into paralysis
I am unafraid of the truth, and I will not be silenced or intimidated by individuals or entities with vested interests in suppressing or obscuring important information.


I know that the CIA saw Bin Laden on dialysis
The Central Intelligence Agency supposedly had information about the whereabouts and the physical condition of Osama Bin Laden, and that he was on dialysis prior to the events of 9/11.


In '98 when he was Top 10 in the FBI
Bin Laden had been a top target for the United States law enforcement agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), several years before the events of 9/11.


Government ties is really why the government lies
Lies and deception are perpetuated by individuals in the government who have ties and vested interests with corporate and criminal organizations.


Read it yourself instead of asking the government why
Verify the authenticity and validity of important information for yourself instead of relying on the word of the government or its representatives, who may not have your best interests at heart.


Because then the cause of death will cause the propaganda to die
Exposing truth and bringing light to deception will help to dispel propaganda and the spread of misinformation.
