Reverse Pimpology (feat. Mojo)
(Immortal Technique)
hypocrites, hookers, sex offenders, y'all niggas wanna be pimps and players
this ain't 1997 nigga

(1st verse)
i'd rather be rich and unhappy, then broke and miserable
cause the game don't give a fuck if you lyrical
and that's pitiful, so my position is pivotal
you can hate me all you like, but you worship the principle
i inspire revolution, the government is not invincible
vietnam to venezuela, trick knowledge they pimpin you
all up in the hood, like mcdonald's and liquor
sellin AIDS medicine, when we know you got the cure nigga
you leery of conspiracy theory but hear me, throw a business perspective it makes more sense clearly
cause moreover that's what we go to war over
and numbers don't lie, unless we do bush and gore over
free markets make money disingenuosly
but I invest in agriculture biochemistry
smart nigga from the hood pussy, what type of crime is that
but execs are like, you from harlem, where your diamonds at
i'd rather be rich and unhappy, then broke and miserable
cause the game don't give a fuck if you lyrical
and that's pitiful, so my position is pivotal
you can hate me all you like, but you worship the principle

Recognize the game
if you lookin for the money or the fame
the playas and the rules ain't changed
but see we tryin to leave our names
so we're turnin out

This is how pimps get pimped and playas get played
rich people get robbed, and broke niggas paid
New York, London, Chicago, Philly, and LA
Miami, DC, B-more, and out in the bay

Starin it out of the frame

if we didn't its a cryin shame
well we're concerned about it
is how to turn it out

(2nd verse)
show me a pretty girl with the world stuck to her
and i'll bet you there's a brother that's tired of fuckin her
lots of nigga's girls are someone else's one night stands
i probably made some bitches nervous listenin with they man
if that offends somebody, im sorry fuck you
what you think, revolutionaries don't like to fuck too?
you just gotta beware of dangerous coochie
cover your head like a kufi
some rappers think that they live in a movie
until they get herpes or clap from a groupie
and i don't need to shout you out, nigga you know who you be
look most people are only playas cause they got played
and have not let go of that shit, since the 7th grade
yea you got your heart broke, life sucks doesn't it
but you shouldn't fuck up someone else's life because of it
someone did your mother like that, that's why you fatherless
before jail or racist cops that's what the problem is
show me a pretty girl with the world stuck to her
and i'll bet you there's a brother that's tired of fuckin her
lots of nigga's girls are someone else's one night stands
i probably made some bitches nervous listenin with they man
if that offends somebody, im sorry fuck you
what you think, revolutionaries don't like to fuck too?
you just gotta beware of dangerous coochie
cover your head like a kufi
some rappers think that they live in a movie
until they get herpes or clap from a groupie
and i don't need to shout you out, nigga you know who you be
look most people are only playas cause they got played
and have not let go of that shit, since the 7th grade
yea you got your heart broke, life sucks doesn't it
but you shouldn't fuck up someone else's life because of it

before jail or racist cops that's what the problem is
(Chorus 2)
(Mojo)
Recognize the game, see who's the one to place that blame
we gettin trapped in a cycle of pain
with a generation headed down the drain
time we turned it out

This is how pimps get pimped and playas get played
beautiful women get cheated on and gangstas sprayed
Jersey, Detroit, Denver, Phoenix, Atlanta
Texas, Vegas, Seattle, and fuckin Louisiana

Regardless of money you payin
you spending on a watch and a chain
but can't offer your children a thang
what the hell is goin on in your brain
we gone turn it out

(3rd verse)
I'm not a crack rapper, i'm not a backpacker
i'm not a whack rapper, moonlighting as a bad actor
i treat labels like the projects, cause i'm a hater
Go to the Sony building, and piss in the elevator
cater to hustlers, crooks, and cheap smugglers
bootleg my own album, to reach customers
every city, state, and country, the hood loves me
even Aboriginese in Australia bump me
they say underground fans are all the color of talcom
who the fuck you think buy 50 and Jay albums?
who the fuck you think made Snoop and Dre platinum?
call up any major record label and ask them
but there's some devils in disguise in hip hop
that belong at Republican fundraisers with Kid Rock
I hope one of my fans has one of your kids shot
and blames it on Acid, Prozac, and Slipknot
you a pussy actin hard, like a bitch cop
I'll drop you to the floor like a reverse wristlock
eat your food and shit on you, like a highway pit stop
and make revolutionaries out of kids that used to flip rocks
the government pimp 9/11 to go to Iraq,
and history repeats itself right on track
first as a tragedy, and then the comedy begins
cause it's funny motherfuckers don't see it come around again

When can we be free
we only wanna live our lives
with our eyes focused, open your eyes
stupid motherfuckers, open your eyes before you die
