Military’s like the mafia - you pay for protection,Ĭatamite sex tours is what the country sells,Īnd rich white business men make the best clientele, I’m from where soviet weapons still decide elections, They pray to white spanish jesus whose face is this,īut never talk about the black pope gelasius, They helped europe and america rape this bitch,
I’m from where the catholic church is some racist shit, Revolutioners come where i’m from the 3rd world son,Ĭonstant occupation leaves the 3rd world torn. Water is poison where i’m from the 3rd world son,ħ00 children died by the end of this song, You polluted everything and now the 3rd world’s gone. Guerillas hit and run where i’m from the 3rd world son, Lock and load your gun where i’m from the 3rd world son,īeen to many places but i’m 3rd world born, I’m from where people pray to the gods of their conquerors,Īnd practically every president’s a money launderer,įrom where the only place democracy’s acceptable,Īnd they might even have a black president but he’s useless,Ĭuz he does not control the economy, stupid! I’m from where they lost the true meaning of the koran,Īnd niggaz know that but grow that poppy seed anyway,Ĭuz that food drop parachute does not come everyday, Still has children born deformed 8 months before they gone, I’m from where they cut your hands off if you make a fist,Īnd niggaz grow coca cuz the job market doesn’t exist,Įxcept slave labor modern day company store,Īnd peacekeepers don’t ever, ever, ever come here no more,įrom where the bombs that they used to drop on vietnam, It makes the hood in america look like paradise,Ĭompared to the aids infested caribbean slum,Īfrican streets where the passport’s an american gun,įrom where they massacre people and try to keep it quiet,Īnd spend the next 25 years tryna deny it, Right next to the slave castles where the water is cursed,įrom where police brutality’s not half as nice, I’m from where the gold and diamonds are ripped from the earth, Immortal Technique – The 3rd World (produced by DJ Green Lantern)
For those who haven’t had a peep yet, listen and read along. The mixtape version gets cut up and wheeled back a few times on the first lines of verse one. This is the pre-released version that was officially put online as promo. And on top of this headnodder, Tech develops his recurring and almost hypnotic pattern drawing vivid images of the messed-up situation of 3rd world countries, one of which he himself is from. Greenlantern’s laced him with an incredibly infectious beat that combines stabby, yet tender pan flute and plucked string-ish sounding samples with a bass blast that dries your sweaty socks if you stand too close to the speakers. The 3rd World may very well be Immortal Tech’s best track so far, both musically and lyrically. Still, the title track stands out like Kareem Abdul Jabbar in playschool and I don’t think I’ll get tired of listening to this anytime soon.
Which is also the first track I can remember where Immortal Tech spits his verses entirely in Spanish.Īll round, this is a very tight release. So The 3rd World has finally dropped, and turns out it’s not the long-announced album, but more of a mixtape of new material and a couple of semi-recent tracks thrown in, such as the excellent Golpe de Estado which has been making the rounds on one of the various bootlegs.
