Speak Your Mind
Immortal Technique featuring Diabolic Lyrics

Every time I speak my mind I'm lyrically critical
Every time I speak my mind, I do so with critical, thought-provoking lyrics.

The pinnacle of being revolutionarily pivotal
My ability to speak truthfully and critically is the top achievement in creating societal change.

Beyond anything ever studied thats metaphysical
I transcend the limits of normal thought by discussing the intangible aspects of life and society.

Man fuck a minority, I'm not politically minimal
I do not subscribe to the belief that minorities are lesser and I am not politically restrained in my actions or words.

But obviously terminologies that are statistical
The language used in statistics is often designed to subliminally influence people.

Are manufactured to be unequivocally subliminal
These words are intentionally crafted to have a hidden yet powerful effect on people.

Transmitted by monopolized media visuals
These messages are spread through media controlled by a few dominant corporations.

So I riddle hypocritically pitiful criminals
I criticize those who use false motives and tactics, particularly those in power.

Habitually utilizing typical rituals
These corrupt leaders use well-known and practiced tactics to maintain their domination.

With false pretense in attempts to be spiritual
They claim to have spiritual or religious motives, but their actions prove otherwise.

To individuals who believe in biblical miracles
They exploit those who cling to religious beliefs and miracles as a way to control them.

Instead of themselves, because they're not thinking original
People who are not free thinkers rely on these corrupt leaders instead of utilizing their own intelligence.

And the color of their skin makes them feel invisible
People of color are made to feel unseen and unimportant in society.

Like microscopic miscarriages lynched wit the umbilical
Minorities are treated like they do not matter and are often subjected to violence.

Only a fuckin imbecile would think their uncorrectable
It takes a foolish person to believe that things cannot change.

Cause your susceptible to becoming more than a spectacle
These corrupt leaders fear the power of the people and the possibility of an uprising.

Remember that your flesh your blood and you body are dissectable
People in power see us as expendable and able to be used for their gain.

Ill beat you until your vegetable
I am willing to use violence to fight against these corrupt leaders.

And wake up in a hospital covered in poisonous chemicals
I am willing to take extreme actions and risk danger to fight for what I believe in.

In a fetal position wit your face sewn to your testicles
I envision a world so violent and corrupted that this type of torture could exist.

Thinkin that you were kidnapped by extraterrestrials
I use vivid and extreme imagery to illustrate the dangers of those in power.

You got heart? I'm the blood that pumps in your ventricles
I am the power behind change, the one who fuels the revolution.

Technique, I'm like ya soul nigga.. indispensable
I am a necessary force and cannot be replaced.

Wit no respect for those that cower at the hour of revolution
I have no respect for those who fear fighting against the corrupt powers that be.

Cause the government owes my people restitution
I believe the government has wronged my people and must make amends.

Instead of sedatives like cocaine and prostitution
The government should focus on providing real help and healing rather than drugs and sex work.

Conclusion is that you'll have to violently silence me
I am a threat to those in power and they may try to silence me with violence.

Cause I raid the airwaves of cutthroat piracy
I use any means necessary to disseminate my message of revolution against the corrupt establishment.

In school my teachers blinded me
Growing up, my education was not truthful and kept me ignorant.

But now I can see
I have learned the truth and understand the reality of the world.

I'm mentally and revolutionarily free
I am free of the mental chains that hold others down and can lead the revolution.

Broadening Horizons about what my people could be
I hope to inspire and bring about new possibilities for my people and society.

If we wasn't set up to get shot locked or OD
If society did not keep people of color from succeeding through violence, incarceration, or addiction.

You see families bleed because of corporate greed
Corporate greed causes destruction and pain for families.

And monopolizing weed is virtually impossible
Legalizing cannabis is difficult because it would hurt the profits of the corporate and government establishment.

So it won't be legalized and thats another obstacle
The government is actively working against progress and reform.

But I'm still rollin up pocket fulls of tropical
Despite these setbacks, I am still enjoying and living my life to the fullest.

The governments involved directly so its unstoppable
The government is too entrenched and powerful to be stopped without a violent revolution.

Like a nuclear rocket full of biochemical toxins that invade the ecological
The government has the power to destroy the environment and control society on a massive scale.

Improbable that the average intellect could understand
The average person does not realize the truth of the government's actions.

So I encrypted this into hip hop thats in high demand
I use the power of music to educate and inspire people to fight for change.

And spread it through the ghetto of every city like contraband
My message finds its strength and power through spreading it like forbidden goods on the streets.

Stomp a man of any complexion with a devilish nature
I am willing to fight against anyone, of any skin color or background, who seeks to maintain the status quo.

Cause I'm tryin to save the earth, but your just next in line to rape her
I see anyone who harms the earth or people as equally responsible and deserving of punishment.
