[Intro: Mos Def] Man you hear this bullshit they be talking Every day, man It's like these motherfuckers is just like professional liars You know what I'm sayin It's wild Listen
[Hook x2: Mos Def] Bin Laden didn't blow up the projects It was you, nigga Tell the truth, nigga Bush knocked down the towers Tell the truth, nigga Bush knocked down the towers Tell the truth, nigga [Verse 1: Immortal Technique] I pledge no allegiance Nigga, fuck the President's speeches I'm baptized by America and covered in leeches The dirty water that bleaches your soul and your facial features Drowning you in propaganda that they spit through the speakers And if you speak about the evil that the government does The Patriot Act will track you to the type of your blood They try to frame you And say you was trying sell drugs And throw a federal indictment on niggas to show you love This shit is run by fake Christians Fake politicians Look at they mansions Then look at the conditions you live in All they talk about is terrorism on television They tell you to listen But they don't really tell you they mission They funded Al-Qaeda and now they blame the Muslim religion Even though Bin Laden was a CIA tactician They gave him billions of dollars and they funded his purpose Fahrenheit 9/11? That's just scratching the surface!
[Hook]
[Verse 2: Immortal Technique] They say the rebels in Iraq still fight for Saddam But that's bullshit I'll show you why it's totally wrong Cuz if another country invaded the hood tonight It'd be warfare through Harlem And Washington Heights I wouldn't be fighting for Bush or White America's dream I'd be fighting for my people's survival and self-esteem I wouldn't fight for racist churches from the South, my nigga I'd be fighting to keep the occupation out, my nigga You ever clock someone who talk shit, or look at you wrong? Imagine if they shot at you and was raping your moms! And of course Saddam Hussein had chemical weapons We sold him that shit After Ronald Reagan's election Mercenary contractors fighting a new era Corporate military banking off the war on terror They controlling the ghetto with the fear of attack Tryna distract the fact that they engineering the crack So I'm strapped like Lee Malvo: holding a sniper rifle! These bullets will touch your kids, and I don't mean like Michael! Your body be sent to the morgue Stripped down and recycled I fire on house niggas that support you and like you Cuz innocent people get murdered in the struggle daily And poor people never get shit and struggle daily This ain't no alien conspiracy theory This shit is real Written on the dollar underneath the Masonic seal
[Eminem] I don't rap for dead presidents I'd rather see the President dead It's never been said but I set precedents)

[Eminem] Shady Records was eighty seconds away from the towers Some cowards fucked with the wrong building They meant to hit ours
