Islam is the truth, the bible is corrupted for violence and racism to spread more violence and racism. When the truth sets you free from the lies your fed then you can see bullshit from afar. Read is the first verse revealed to prophet Muhammad peace be upon him for mankind and he replied I can't read does that mean something to everyone. Read, read, read the most dangerous people are that can read but have illiterate behaviour.
Turning off the news and reading has been the most devastating thing in my life. Knowing the truth is scary stuff and isn't for the weak. Ignorance is bliss.
Its not for the weak thats for sure. And it WILL alienate you and maybe make you cynical. But that is the cost of truth. If you want to know why the world looks the way it does and why people are unhappy, then you need to take your lashes
Anona Moose if you ever watch the matrix, one of my favorite lines is when neo asks morpheus, "I can never go back, can I?" To which morpheus replies, "knowing what you know now, would you really want to?"
I hope y'all know this man (immortal technique) has looked at confidential files and read some shit. A lot of his songs.... No wait all are on point. Dont take it as a story. This man does speak truth
This song is even more relatable now than it was back in '03 when this was released. It's just yet another reason for me to believe that Immortal Technique was way ahead of his time.

Yeah I’m old and was in the darkness until 6 months ago... crazy. My son, used to try to talk to me about rap music, and the messages... I brushed him off... he was like 9 yrs old. He was enlightened and I wasn’t. I feel bad for not listening more intently to him. He’s now 22... and he’s a wealth of knowledge ... he speaks Aramaic ... so thank you... you did that. He’s also compassionate ... and brilliant. So if the Hope was to dumb down our kids, they failed... once again. And guess what? The end of the story has already been revealed ... we win. 🙂God is good. I like you guys. Thanks for what you do. 🙏🇺🇸
Saw him live in Australia and omg it was off the hook. Have seen most of the big hip hop stars live and sure they have lots of wiz bang effects but not 1 of them made me feel the way tech did. You know how when you say or hear something so true that it gives you goosebumps? Watching tech spit the truth live send goosebumps over my entire body multiple times. Best live act I have ever witnessed.
Excuse me UA-cam, but I'm going to have to do this. Holy fucking shit god damn. I have never heard a hip hop artist like this. So informed and so informative. You guys need to listen to this guy. Seriously.
some other good ones are "Nocturnal Rainbows" by Hopsin and "Grand Deception" by K-Rino. you should check those out as well. i agree, Immortal's fuckin sick! i wish I'd started listening to his shit earlier

Neksreaper I bumped this tonight at work mostly the cats I work with bump Lil Wayne and future and shit. anyways it hit me, these mother fuckers hijacked this shit. they took the school of thought this song represents and made it into something that they could use to their benefit. think about it. what do we see? a truly corrupt DNC, and on the flip side an entire populace thinking that donald trump is actually an outsider. " the corrupt media" as he calls it which is why he tweets shit so much and these simple mother fuckers are buying this shit man. just like they hijacked the original tea party. it's ingenious.
Listen to what u want dude yea he’s 1000x smarter but b free listen to what u want besides democrats n Republicans lol fuck the news n r gov crooked fucks

I had the blessing of speaking with immortal technique on three occasions before I turned 16 god I followed his word closer than ppl follow the Bible, wish he would open ppls eyes nowadays..
Ah, Felipe Coronel. Quite an intelligent hip hop influence I must say. This is why Immortal Technique is indeed one of the greatest Hip-Hop influences for his concise knowledge, lyricism, and potential to educate his listeners with his philosophy. All hail the technique. Viva La Del!!!!

Incredible that I first heard this around 2003 it is even more relevant today than it was then! me thinks I will be getting his mix tapes and cd's out and give them another listen!
Chris no he was an arab. That's why there was a lot of holy wars between the Roman Catholic and the middle eastern religions. In the bible it says jesus was the seed of Abraham who has evidence and written records of being an arab. But the Jews and Roman catholics said abraham was a jew. Jesus was always pictured brown and he is the most quoted prophet in the Quran just like the song said and it is true. He also appeared in a lot of African religions but never was pictured black. That's why during the crusades (the time period when Jesus was first pictured white) they went to Africa and the middle east and destroyed religious text and pictures, monuments, and statues.
it warms my soul to know that this man exists
Yo!!!🤗😃😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

History repeats it's, the patterns are a never ending loop.

No time machine necessary, it's been this way for decades.
It has begun, the beginning of the end.

Ah, Felipe Coronel. Quite an intelligent hip hop influence I must say. This is why Immortal Technique is indeed one of the greatest Hip-Hop influences for his concise knowledge, lyricism, and potential to educate his listeners with his philosophy. All hail the technique. Viva La Del!!!!

0:10 " For Those Who Hide Behind The False Image Of The Son Of Man Shall Stand Before God ! "
"God bless America" aka
+Mre cords what do you think he means saying that?
+michael riegler that the real jesus isn't what we think. Jesus was actually an arab who was killed and his religion was stolen to make money off of
+Joey Kolczynski He means to stop worshipping that white false Jesus and no Jesus was an Israelite not Arab he was a black man with long wooly hair.
Chris no he was an arab. That's why there was a lot of holy wars between the Roman Catholic and the middle eastern religions. In the bible it says jesus was the seed of Abraham who has evidence and written records of being an arab. But the Jews and Roman catholics said abraham was a jew. Jesus was always pictured brown and he is the most quoted prophet in the Quran just like the song said and it is true. He also appeared in a lot of African religions but never was pictured black. That's why during the crusades (the time period when Jesus was first pictured white) they went to Africa and the middle east and destroyed religious text and pictures, monuments, and statues.
condoleezza rice is just a new age sally hemings
