theGOON Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 so i've been listening to reflux all day. they're one of my favorites for intelligent politics in music (propagandhi a close second). anyways, i just wanted to get their words out and see some other politically minded music... i gotta type this because i can't find 'em online...(related note: this band is hugely conspiracy-theory based, illuminati, masons, etc..., amusing) MODERN DAY BABYLON turn over your dollar bill translate the words they have painted this picture.... painted it so well but the colors do run. they steal what they claim to protect. and when we shed light on the theft, we're the ones they try to catch "in our battle against those that detest our free and prosperous society, we cannot sacrifice any of the pillars our nation stands upon, namely respect for the constitution and the rule of law. we must demonstrate to the world that america is the bets example of what a solid constitution with properly enforced laws can bring to those who desire freedom and safety. if we become hypocrites about our own legal system, how can we sell it abroad or question legal systems different than our own?" forcefeeding this artificial pride, as our freedom is tossed to the side how can we liberate others, when we can't liberate ourselves? when they said that it was legal, they took it all away and when they too all of it away, freedom died that day. and we watch as they dry the blood on their hands with the flames of the constitution. all lies. they sold us illusions and promises. our amendments are dropping like flies. it is all part of the novus ordo seclorum. modern day babylon give us back our rights now you post words...

insane30 Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 dont know if this belongs here but it is political so w.e "Cause Of Death" [Talking] Immortal Technique Revolutionary Volume 2 Yeah, broadcasting live from Harlem, New York Let the truth be known.. [Verse 1] You better watch what the fuck flies outta ya mouth Or I'ma hijack a plane and fly it into your house Burn your apartment with your family tied to the couch And slit your throat, so when you scream, only blood comes out I doubt that there could ever be...a more wicked MC 'Cuz AIDs infested child molesters aren't sicker than me I see the world for what it is, beyond the white and the black The way the government downplays historical facts 'Cuz the United States sponsored the rise of the 3rd Reich Just like the CIA trained terrorists to the fight Build bombs and sneak box cutters onto a flight When I was a child, the Devil himself bought me a mic But I refused the offer, 'cuz God sent me to strike With skills unused like fallopian tubes on a dyke My words'll expose George Bush and Bin Laden As two separate parts of the same seven headed dragon And you can't fathom the truth, so you don't hear me You think illuminati's just a fuckin conspiracy theory? That's why Conservative racists are all runnin' shit And your phone is tapped by the Federal Government So I'm jammin' frequencies in ya brain when you speak to me Technique will rip a rapper to pieces indecently Pack weapons illegally, because I'm never hesitant Sniper scoping a commission controllin the president [Hook] Father, forgive them, for they don't know right from wrong The truth will set you free, written down in this song And the song has the Cause of Death written in code The Word of God brought to life, that'll save ya soul.. Save ya soul motherfucker...save ya soul.. Yeah, yeah, yeah [Verse 2] I hacked the Pentagon for self-incriminating evidence Of Republican manufactured white powder pestilence Marines Corps. flat (?) vest, with the guns and ammo Spittin' bars like a demon stuck inside a piano Turn a Sambo into a soldier with just one line Now here's the truth about the system that'll fuck up your mind They gave Al Queda 6 billion dollars in 1989 to 1992 And now the last chapters of Revelations are coming true And I know a lot of people find it hard to swallow this Because subliminal bigotry makes you hate my politics But you act like America wouldn't destroy two buildings In a country that was sponsoring bombs dropped on our children I was watching the Towers, and though I wasn't the closest I saw them crumble to the Earth like they was full of explosives And they thought nobody noticed the news report that they did About the bombs planted on the George Washington bridge Four Non-Arabs arrested during the emergency And then it disappeared from the news permanently They dubbed a tape of Osama, and they said it was proof "Jealous of our freedom," I can't believe you bought that excuse Rockin a motherfucking flag don't make you a hero Word to Ground Zero The Devil crept into Heaven, God overslept on the 7th The New World Order was born on September 11 [Hook] [Verse 3] And just so Conservatives don't take it to heart I don't think Bush did it, 'cuz he isn't that smart He's just a stupid puppet taking orders on his cell phone From the same people that sabotaged Senator Wellstone The military industry got it poppin' and lockin' Looking for a way to justify the Wolfowitz Doctrine And as a matter of fact, Rumsfeld, now that I think back Without 9/11, you couldn't have a war in Iraq Or a Defense budget of world conquest proportions Kill freedom of speech and revoke the right to abortions Tax cut extortion, a blessing to the wealthy and wicked But you still have to answer to the Armageddon you scripted And Dick Cheney, you fuckin leech, tell them your plans About building your pipelines through Afghanistan And how Israeli troops trained the Taliban in Pakistan You might have some house niggaz fooled, but I understand Colonialism is sponsored by corporations That's why Halliburton gets paid to rebuild nations Tell me the truth, I don't scare into paralysis I know the CIA saw Bin Laden on dialysis In '98 when he was Top Ten for the FBI Government ties is really why the Government lies Read it yourself instead of asking the Government why 'Cuz then the Cause of Death will cause the propaganda to die.. [Man talking] He is scheduled for 60 Minutes next. He is going on French, Italian, Japanese television. People everywhere are starting to listen to him. It's embarassing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiseguy Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 i bought immortal technique's revolutionary volume one the other day, it's so sick, that song dance with the devil made my stomach turn. a well thought out repudiation of mindless thuggery in hip hop. dead prez have always been high up on my list. and mos def- mathematics.

serum Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Born Against Mary and Child Once again the battle field is your body and those who want control have laid down their terms in black & white and red all over they keep the backstreet butchers in business as advertised from a bullhorn and the all knowing man has set up his make-believe graveyard with tiny white crosses for millions of make-believe souls someday I'd like to see a cross set up for a real live human being who bled to death to maintain the sanctity of mary mary & child scream the bigots who couldn't care less about human life obey their self- righteous lies while your sisters & daughters die all decisions are final your body is forbidden.

Krakatau Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 No, they just seem to be contrived, bitchy and usually wack as shit nine times out of ten. There are of course exceptions, but that is my general take on things. Just seems to me that politics are pretty unique to the individual, so it is hard to find something that actually falls in line with what I think on things, blah blah blah. And instrumentals are far from mindless, so let's leave it at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quoted post i'm not even talking about immortal technique man. i never listened to him. but making a record and making changes in the worlds politics are two very different things. i'm on the record here stating that i hate bush but that don't change shit now does it? and after a while all politically minded music gets skewed and ends up preachy hoobitygook like krs-one.

yum Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 well not everyone has the power to go and legislate changes so its better that they talk about it and spread the word rather than singing about meaningless shit or jsut sayign absolutely nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
