Voices of the Voiceless

These times are comin'

We told you about them but you motherfuckers was sleepin'

Now you gotta wake up

The time has come

Lowkey, yeah

Immortal Technique, Harlem, motherfucker

We here, let's make history

From West End to the West Bank

I write righteous rhymes with my right and wrestle the Devil with my left hand

Never work for a Zionist, never been a yes man

My art is like Rembrandt paintin' pictures of death camps

The average person is allergic to the words of wisdom

This is for everyone of Saddam's Kurdish murder victims

And all the pure souls that never had the chance to speak

Truth pumps in my arteries and causes my heart to beat

For soldiers haunted and tortured by guilty memories

Who realized too late to reveal their real enemy

It's all dead wrong for every victim of racist persecution from Auschwitz to Hebron

My words may sting cowards

For people that were atomized by the thermite in the Twin Towers

Those living through the wars ask me what I do this for

Put the world in its place before it puts you in yours

What happens under darkness shall come to light

Can't silence us even though you try

You can try to avoid us but it's pointless

You can never avoid the voices of the voiceless

Take our freedom, can't take our pride

Come what may, we will survive

You can try to avoid us but it's pointless

You can never avoid the voices of the voiceless

Keep my third eye hidden under my New York fitted

A crazy, unmarried man that deserves to be committed

The future is encrypted in my troubled lyrics

Dream that I've been somewhere for weeks and wake up in a couple minutes

Sweat drippin' with visions of population control

Thoughts overflowing my world like the melting of the North Pole

My people are targeted by military crack committees

So I'm buckin' at the feds like natives in Rapid City

Reality savage, my words are like a riot in Paris

The voice of the voiceless that voice is social imbalance

So stand strong or sit harder in your mental palace

Blinded inside a kingdom, united to its old habits

But now middle passage comin', war chant, African drummin'

Gatlin' gun hummin', rapid fire mechanism

Reckless livin' that checks the rhythm of perfectionism

Slave condition while you singin' "God save the system"

What happens under darkness shall come to light

Can't silence us even though you try

You can try to avoid us but it's pointless

You can never avoid the voices of the voiceless

Take our freedom, can't take our pride

Come what may, we will survive

You can try to avoid us but it's pointless

You can never avoid the voices of the voiceless

Detain my body but you can't imprison my mind

If it's my time I'll probably die with my fist in the sky

These are the thoughts of a man who can't escape from his coma

Cries of a young virgin girl who got raped by them soldiers

Birthing a screaming bastard, post-colonial nation

Subject to childhood diseases, famine, war and inflation

Education molded you into your master's image

And you forgot who the fuck you were before the war was finished

You're hearin' the ghosts of Nagasaki, you're hearin' Hiroshima

Beautiful babies bein' born with the weirdest features

You might never see me in the chart

But, inshallah, my seed can see peace in Iraq

But peace and freedom can never be given

That's historically forbidden 'cause only collision is the recipe

Changin' the course of destiny so I'm strapped with weaponry

'Cause the government don't give a fuck about protectin' me

What happens under darkness shall come to light

Can't silence us even though you try

You can try to avoid us but it's pointless

You can never avoid the voices of the voiceless

Take our freedom, can't take our pride

Come what may, we will survive

You can try to avoid us but it's pointless

You can never avoid the voices of the voiceless
