Immortal Technique - Freedom of Speech

Heh heh heh

Freedom of speech, motherlover!

I got no strings to hold me down (Okay)

To make me fret or make me frown (Somethin' for the kids, hahahaha)

I had strings, but now I'm free

There are no strings on me

Step into the club smoothly with a L in my hand

Bitches know that I'm a freak like the Elephant Man

Intelligent plans, frick a record deal

I want development land with my benevolent clan

And that's the reason that I only trust my fam

40,000 records sold, 400 grand

Frick a middleman, I won't pay anyone else

I'll bootleg it and sell it to the streets myself (Haha)

I'd rather be that than signed and stuck on a shelf

And because of this, executives try to diss me (Frick y'all)

Racism frozen in time, like Walt Disney

And now they say they wanna get me signed to the majors

If I switch up my politics and change my behavior (Huh)

Try to tell me what to rhyme about over the beat

B-word neighbors that never spent a day in the street

But I repeat that nobody can hold my reins

I put the truth on tracks, neighbor, simple and plain

I got no strings, so I have fun

I'm not tied up to anyone

They've got strings, but you can see

There are no strings on me

I guess to America I'm a disaster (Oh no)

A slave that was destined to own his masters

Independent in every single sense of the word

I say what I want, you frickin' little sensitive herb

This is America, I thought we had freedom of speech

But now you want try to control the way that I speak (What?)

And O'Reilly, you think that you a patriot? (Yeah right)

You ain't nothin' but a motherfrickin' racist b-word

Full of hatred, pressin' a button tryin' to eject me (Hahaha)

But I ain't got no motherfrickin' deal with Pepsi

No corporate sponsor tellin' me what to do

Askin' me to tone it down during the interview (Never!)

Tryin' to minimize the issue but I'm keepin' it large

I love the place I live but I hate the people in charge

Speakin' is hard when you got strings attached

So I'ma say it for you 'cause I don't got none of that

And if you didn't understand what I spit at your brain

Ayo son, let this little neighbor explain

I got no strings, so I have fun

I'm not tied up to anyone

They've got strings, but you can see

There are no strings on me

Come on, son, y'all neighbors know the way I do

Immortal Technique dot com live for you

And I know sometimes it be makin' you nervous

The way I snatch puppet rappers that belong in a circus

You motherlovers just can't compare

Lookin' for a fanbase that's no longer there

I know that you're scared and you're hidin' up in the cut

But this is freedom of speech, neighbor, tell 'em what's up

Word, neighbor! Frick John Ashcroft!

Neighbor, frick Fox News! Frick those snake-butt bitches

Tryin' to manipulate your opinion, tellin' you what to think

Word the frick up, neighbor

Like, "We invaded neighbors ‘cause we want to free them."

You racist mothafricka!

You don't give a shit about those people

You can suck my peepee! (Hahahaha)

Relax, Tech, relax

Another rum and coke at the bar, neighbor!

It's my day off, word up!

Frick

For the kids (Ha), for the kids (Hahaha)
