[00:00.000] 作词 : Felipe Coronel [00:01.000] 作曲 : Felipe Coronel [00:11.70]Before we go any further.. [00:13.46]I would like to send a message to all the underground mc's out there, working hard [00:18.41]The time has come to realize your net worth in the market [00:21.97]And stop being a ******g commodity [00:24.48]And if you didn't understand what I've just said then you already waiting to get ****** [00:28.64]For example; a lot of these promoters are doing showcases [00:32.40]Throwing events, and not even paying the workhorses [00:35.36]They trying get us to rock for the love of hiphop or rock for the exposure [00:40.61]Now look man, I don't mind doing a guest spot for my peeps [00:44.60]Or, or, or doing a benefit show, but don't lie to me ************* [00:48.18]Coz I find out I'm paying your light bill, I'm ******g you up ************* [00:52.09]Besides, you ain't doing this for the love, you ain't doing it for the exposure [00:56.56]You charging up to 10$ at the door, and you ain't tryin to give me *************t? [01:00.91]So wait a minute... you want me to go shopping, cook the food, and put it in front of you [01:06.42]But you won't let me sit down and eat with you? The ************* is that? [01:09.70]*************s need to start playing their position, man [01:13.71]Just cause you throw a party, a hosting event, or an open mic or a showcase, or a battle [01:19.20]That don't make you important at all [01:21.07]Without me and everybody like me out there [01:23.78]You ain't nutting but a good idea, mother****** [01:26.31]So stay in your place [01:27.70] [01:29.70]And to all these *************ass A&Rs who are too lazy to come up with a way to sell records.. [01:34.81]That they keep recycling marketing schemes and imagery [01:38.93]C'mon.. [01:40.50]There is a market for everything man [01:42.25]There is a market for pet psychologists *************. There is a market for twisted [01:46.32]*************tfetish video's. For nipplerings, for riverdancing, for chocolate covered roaches.. [01:52.33]But you can't find one for cultured hardcore reality and hip-hop? [01:56.48]People like you: the house ************* executives [01:59.90]And them rich mother******s that own you; you the mother******g machine man! [02:04.30]You and all these *************s talking about the same *************t [02:07.00]With the same flow over the same candy-ass beats [02:09.98]But I refuse the feed the machine [02:12.80]And Im not giving any magazine money [02:14.56]So maybe my album won't get 5 mics, or double-x-l's, or 5 discs [02:19.16]Whatever man, ************* it [02:21.92]But then again; you don't own me, and none of you *************s ever will [02:28.10]If I'm feeling what you fight for I'm rolling with you to the end [02:31.35]But if not, then ************* YOU! [02:35.66]And the more that mc's, producers, dj's [02:39.53]And independent labels start to grasp the conceptuality [02:43.64]Of what their contribution to the business of hiphop is [02:46.95]Rather then just the music - the more the industry will be forced to change [02:51.71] [02:52.20]Oh , heh, and one last thing; [02:54.06] [02:55.25]You don't have to agree with everything I've said [02:58.08]But don't ever be condescending to me [03:00.34]Picking up your wack ass friends that rhyme and being like [03:03.85]'Ow yeah, Immortal Technique - he's aaiight' [03:06.76]No *************.. [03:08.01]Your mom is *************, that's aaiight, ok.. [03:10.00]Your peoples getting shot dead in the street, that's aaiight [03:14.10]I'm the mother******g Immortal Technique *************! The message and the money! [03:18.30]And you ain't got either! [03:19.60]Remember that! [03:21.01]Punk ass mother******..
