3rd World Motherfucker
|
|
Verse 1:
|
|
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 passports an American gun,
|
From where they massacre people and try to keep it quiet,
|
And spend the next 25 years tryna deny it,
|
I¡¯m from where they cut your hands off if you make a fist,
|
And niggaz grow coca cause the job market doesn¡¯t exist,
|
Except slave labour modern day company store,
|
And peacekeepers don¡¯t ever ever ever come here no more,
|
From where the bombs that they used to drop on Vietnam,
|
Still has children born deformed 8 months before they gone,
|
I¡¯m from where they lost the true meaning of the Koran,
|
Cause heroin is not compatible with Islam,
|
And niggaz 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 presidents a money launderer,
|
From where the only place democracies acceptable,
|
Is if Americas candidate is electable,
|
And they might even have a black president but he¡¯s useless,
|
Cause he does not control the economy stupid!
|
|
|
Chorus:
|
Lock and load your gun where i¡¯m from the 3rd world son,
|
Been to many places but i¡¯m 3rd world born,
|
Guerillas hit and run where i¡¯m from the 3rd world son,
|
You polluted everything and now the 3rd world¡¯s gone.
|
The water is poison where i¡¯m from the 3rd world son,
|
700 children died by the end of this song,
|
Revolution a come where i¡¯m from the 3rd world son,
|
Constant occupation leaves the 3rd world torn.
|
|
Verse 2:
|
|
I¡¯m from where the Catholic church is some racist shit,
|
They helped Europe and America rape this bitch,
|
They pray to white Spanish Jesus, who¡¯s face is this?,
|
But never talk about the black pope Gelasius,
|
I¡¯m from where Soviet weapons still decide elections/
|
Military's like the Mafia you pay for protection/
|
Catamite sex tours 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 organisers/
|
I¡¯m from where the justice system esta podrido/
|
Fuck government niggaz politic over perico/
|
Rebelde concido, enterado vivo, como otro argentino
|
Desaparecido, Cause RICO laws don¡¯t apply to the CIA,
|
And motherfuckers 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 the place they was raised in,
|
You kept us caged in,
|
Destroyed our culture and said that you civilised us,
|
Raped our women and when we were born, you despised us,
|
Gentrified us, agent provocateur divide us,
|
And crucified every revolutionary messiah,
|
So i¡¯m a start a global riot,
|
That not even your fake anti-Communist dictators can keep quiet,
|
Fuck your charity medicine tryna to murder me,
|
The immunisations you gave us were full of mercury,
|
So now I see the 3rd World like the rap game soldier,
|
Nationalise the industry and take it over.
|
|
|
Chorus:
|
|
Lock and load your gun where i¡¯m from the 3rd world son,
|
Been to many places but i¡¯m 3rd world born,
|
Guerillas hit and run where i¡¯m from the 3rd world son,
|
You polluted everything and now the 3rd world¡¯s gone.
|
The water is poison where i¡¯m from the 3rd world son,
|
700 children died by the end of this song,
|
Revolution a come where i¡¯m from the 3rd world son,
|
Constant occupation leaves the 3rd world torn.
