Lyrics
0:14Immortal technique
0:16And DJ green lantern
0:21Third world mother f**kers
0:23I'm from where the gold and diamonds are ripped from the earth
0:25Right next to the slave castles where the water is cursed
0:28From where police brutality's not half as nice
0:30It makes the hood in America look like paradise
0:33Compared to the aids infested caribbean slum
0:36African streets where the passport's an American gun
0:39From where they massacre people and try to keep it quiet
0:42And spend the next 25 years try'na deny it
0:45I'm from where they cut your hands off if you make a fist
0:48And niggas grow coca 'cause the job market doesn't exist
0:50Except slave labor modern day company store
0:53And peacekeepers don't ever ever ever come here no more
0:56From where the bombs that they used to drop on vietnam
0:59Still has children born deformed 8 month before they gone
1:01I'm from where they lost the true meaning of the qur'an
1:04Cuz h****n is not compatible with I***m
1:07And niggas know that but grow that poppy seed anyway
1:10'Cause that food drop parachute does not come every day
1:13I'm from where people pray to the gods of their conquerors
1:16And practically every president's a money launderer
1:18From where the only place democracy's acceptable
1:20Is if America's candidate is electable
1:24And they might even have a black president but he's useless
1:27'Cause he does not control the economy stupid
1:29Lock and load your gun where I'm from the third world son
1:32Ain't nothing nice been to many places
1:33But I'm third world born guerillas hit and run where
1:36I'm from the third world son
1:38You polluted everything and now the third world's gone
1:41The waters poisoned where I'm from son the third world son
1:43Seven hundred children die by the end' this song
1:46Revolution'll come where I'm from the third world son
1:49Constant occupation leaves the third world torn
1:52I'm from where the catholic church is some racist sh*t
1:54They helped europe and america R**e this b**ch
1:57They pray to white spaniard jesus who's face is this
2:00But never talk about the black pope gelasius
2:03I'm from where soviet weapons still decide elections
2:05Military is like the mafia you pay for protection
2:08Kinda like sex toys is what the country sells
2:11And rich white businessmen make the best clientele
2:14I'm from where they too p**sy to come film survivor
2:17And they murder coca cola union organizers
2:19I'm from where the justice system esta podrido
2:22F**k government niggaz politic over perico
2:25Rebelde conocido enterado vivo como otro argentino desparecido
2:31Cause rico laws don't apply to the cia
2:33And mother f**kers make sneakers for a quarter a day
2:36I'm from where they overthrow democratic leaders
2:39Not for the people but for the wall street journal readers
2:42From where blacks indigenous peoples and asians were once
2:45Slaves of the caucasians and it's amazing how they trained them
2:49To be racist against themselves in a place they were raised in
2:52And you kept us caged in
2:53Destroyed our culture and said that you civilized us
2:56Raped our woman and when we were born you despised us
2:59Gentrified us agent provocateurs divide us
3:01And crucified every revolutionary messiah
3:04So I'mma start a global riot
3:06That not even your fake
3:07Anti communist dictators can keep quiet
3:10F**k your charity medicine try to murder me
3:12The immunizations you gave us were full of mercury
3:15So now I see the third world like the rap game soldier
3:18Nationalize the industry and take it over
3:21Lock and load your gun where I'm from the third world son
3:24Been to many places but I'm third world born
3:26Guerrillas hit and run where I'm from the third world son
3:29You polluted everything and now the third world's gone
3:32The waters poisoned where I'm from son the third world son
3:35Seven hundred children die by the end' this song
3:38Revolution'll come where I'm from the third world son
3:40Constant occupation leaves the third world torn
