The Cause of Death

(Intro)

Immortal Technique

Revolutionary Vol. 2

Yeah, broadcastin' live from Harlem, New York

Let the truth be known!

(Verse 1)

You better watch what the ****** flies outta your mouth

Or I'ma hijack a plane and fly it into your house

Burn your apar**ent with your family tied to the couch

And slit ya throat so when you scream only blood comes out

'Cause AIDS-infested child molesters aren't sicker than me

I see the world for what it is, beyond the white and the black

The way the government downplays historical facts

'Cause the United States sponsored the rise of the Third Reich

Just like the CIA trained terrorists how to fight

Build bombs and sneak box cutters onto a flight

When I was a child, the Devil himself bought me a mic

With skills unused like fallopian tubes on a dyke

My words'll expose George Bush and Bin Laden

As two separate parts of the same seven-headed dragon

And you can't fathom the truth, so you don't hear me

You think Illuminati's just a ******' conspiracy theory?

That's why conservative racists are all runnin' ************t

And your phone is tapped by the Federal Government

So I'm jammin' frequencies in your brain when you speak to me

Technique will rip a rapper to pieces indecently

Pack weapons illegally, 'cause I'm never hesitant

Sniper-scopin' a commission controllin' the President

(Hook)

Father, forgive them, for they don't know right from wrong

The truth will set you free, written down in this song

And the song has the Cause of Death written in code

The Word of God brought to life, that'll save your soul

Save your soul, mother******, save your soul!

(Verse 2)

I hacked the Pentagon for self-incriminating evidence

Of Republican-manufactured white powder pestilence

Marines Corps. flak 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 here's the truth about the system that'll ****** up your mind

They gave al-Qaeda six billion dollars in ************ to 1992

And now the last chapters of Revelations are comin' true

'Cause subliminal bigotry makes you hate my politics

But you act like America wouldn't destroy two buildings

In a country that was sponsorin' bombs dropped on our children

I was watchin' the Towers, and though I wasn't 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 Wa************ngton bridge

Four non-Arabs arrested during the emergency

And then it disappeared from the news permanently

They dubbed a tape of Osama, and they said it was proof

Jealous of our freedom? I can't believe you bought that excuse!

Rockin' a mother******' flag don't make you a hero

Word to Ground Zero

The Devil crept into Heaven, God overslept on the seventh

The New World Order was born on September eleventh

(Hook)

Father, forgive them, for they don't know right from wrong

The truth will set you free, written down in this song

And the song has the Cause of Death written in code

The Word of God brought to life, that'll save your soul

Save your soul, mother******, save your soul!

(Verse 3)

And just so conservatives don't take it to heart

I don't think Bush did it, 'cause he isn't that smart

He's just a stupid puppet takin' orders on his cell phone

From the same people that sabotaged Senator Wellstone

The military industry got it poppin' and lockin'

Lookin' for a way to justify the Wolfowitz Doctrine

And as a matter of fact, Rumsfeld, now that I think back

Without 9/11, you couldn't have a war in Iraq

Or a defense budget of world conquest proportions

Kill freedom of speech and revoke the right to abortion

Tax cut extortion, a blessing to the wealthy and wicked

But you still have to answer to the Armageddon you scripted

And ************ Cheney, you ******' leech, tell them your plans

About building your pipelines through Afghanistan

And how Israeli troops trained the Taliban in Pakistan

You might have some house ******s fooled, but I understand

Colonialism is sponsored by corporations

That's why Halliburton gets paid to rebuild nations

Tell me the truth, I don't scare into paralysis

I know the CIA saw Bin Laden on dialysis

In '98 when he was top ten for the FBI

Government ties is really why the government lies

Read it yourself instead of askin' the government why

'Cause then the cause of death'll cause the propaganda to die

(Outro)

He is scheduled for sixty minutes next.

He is going on French, British, Italian, Japanese television.

People everywhere are starting to listen to him—it's embarrassing!
