crossing the boundary
immortal technique
yeah. harlem to chicago to l.a. to toronto
motherfucking rio de janeiro
i never make songs that disrespect women
or that judge people about the way that they're living
but the way i am is based on the life i was given
like them white boys: 'losing my religion'
i used to be a christian and a political pawn
the bible is right and all your native culture is wrong
next thing you know you telling me 'bout making a song
and tell me that i'm making it wrong
pissed off 'cause reality is making us strong
like the ghost of timothy mcveigh making a bomb
what the fuck is going on
these rap niggas made propaganda out of your song
amateur night at the apollo
and sing the chorus in the air
with your blunt in your lighter
sing that shit nigga right now
you played yourself thinking your down with me
don't fuck around with me
and if you kids can't listen
the way you get shot for crossing the boundary
you played yourself thinking your down with me
don't fuck around with me
and if you kids can't listen
the way you get shot for crossing the boundary
the second verse is worse than the first in this respect
scripted specifically to keep people in check
you ain't fucking shit to me
and underground labels know that i don't trust you
you're only independent 'til you're major
and if you're pissed off 'cause you think that i dissed you
i'll rape your mom so we can make this a personal issue
remember that you're not on my level
bragging rights from rocksteady
and practically every battle that they got in new york
and i still murder rappers on the street for sport
doctor guillotine cutting you short
but you don't give me props 'cause i never won at scribble jam
i hope somebody you love dies
what the fuck you gon' do?
you played yourself thinking your down with me
don't fuck around with me
and if you kids can't listen
the way you get shot for crossing the boundary
you played yourself thinking your down with me
don't fuck around with me
and if you kids can't listen
the way you get shot for crossing the boundary
yeah. wrap it up on these niggas. wrap it up. yeah
immortal technique incinerate degenerate fags
wrapped in his confederate flag
i got the beretta with my face wrapped in a rag
so put the african slave jewelry in the bag
motherfuckers tell me that a diamond is forever
but is it worth the blood of malcolm and medgar evers?
house niggas get your head severed trying to be thug
i'm trying to hurt the people you love
word of mouth is i'm in the club being sneaky
i'm like the body snatchers and your girl is getting sleepy
i'll murder you indiscreetly
like the roman legionnaire that stabbed christ on the cross
and you shouldn't fucking talk about telekinesis
moving shit with your mind
try moving your moms out the projects with your rhymes
i'm coming after 'cual quiera' profanity
fucking 'carajo maldita mierda'
put the price up to listen to me pop shit
'cause i got martha stewart giving me stock tips
underground money with honeys up in the whip
you don't know shit about me
why open your mouth and discuss who the fuck i am
i thought i told you niggas on volume one
'cause you sold a few thousand units in the golden era
when niggas would buy anything on the shelf
but those days are through
and you are through with them
