[00:12.02]Before we go any further..
[00:13.83]I would like to send a message to all the underground mc's out there, working hard
[00:18.95]The time has come to realize you networked in a marketand stop being a ******g commodity
[00:24.81]And if you didn't understand what I've just said t
[00:27.12]Then you already waiting to get ******
[00:29.37]For example; a lot of these promoters are doing showcasesthrowing events, and not even paying the workhorses
[00:35.85]They trying get us to rock for the love of hiphop or rock for the exposure
[00:41.46]Now look man,
[00:42.34]I don't mind doing a guest spot for my peeps
[00:44.84]Or, or, or doing a benefit show, but don't lie to me *************
[00:48.08]Coz I find out I'm paying your lightbill,
[00:50.70]I'm ******g you up *************
[00:52.50]Besides, you ain't doing this for the love,
[00:54.74]you ain't doing it for the exposureyou
[00:56.81]charging up to 10$ at the door,
[00:58.95]and you ain't tryin to give me *************t??
[01:01.20]So wait a minute...
[01:02.50]you want me to go shopping, cook the food, and put it in front of youbut you won't let me sit down and eat with you?
[01:09.03]The ************* is that?
[01:11.15]*************z need to start playing their position, man.
[01:13.46]Just coz you throw a partya hosting event or an open mic or a showcase, or a battlethat don't make you important at all
[01:21.14]Without me and everybody like me out thereyou ain't nutting but a good idea, mother******
[01:26.13]So stay in your place
[01:29.68]And to all these *************ass saronayas who are too lazy to come up with a way to sell records..
[01:35.23]That they keep recycling marketing schemes and imagery
[01:39.35]C'mon..There is a market for everything man
[01:42.22]There is a market for pet psychologists *************.
[01:44.59]There is a market for twisted*************tfetish video's.
[01:47.95]For nipplerings, for riverdancing, for chocolate cupboard roaches..
[01:52.26]But you can't find one for cultured hardcore reality and hiphop?
[01:57.19]People like you: the house ************* executivesand them rich mother******s that own you; you the mother******g machine man!
[02:03.92]You and all these *************z talking about the same *************twith the same flow over the same candy-ass beats
[02:10.21]But I refuse the feed the machine
[02:12.70]And Im not giving any magazine money
[02:14.69]So maybe my album won't get 5 mics, or double-x-l's, or 5 discs
[02:20.19]Whatever man, ************* it
[02:22.62]But then again; you don't own me, and none of you *************z ever will
[02:28.23]If I'm feeling what you fight for
[02:30.10]I'm rolling with you to the end
[02:31.97]But if not, then
[02:32.93]************* YOU!
[02:36.10]And the more that mc's, producers, dj'sand independent labels
[02:41.46]start to grasp the conceptualityof what their contribution to the business of hiphop
[02:46.94]israther then just the music - the more the industry will be forced to change
[02:52.61]Oh, heh, and one last thing;
[02:55.34]You don't have to agree with everything
[02:58.59]I've saidBut don't ever be condescending to me
[03:00.76]Picking up your wack ass friends that rhyme and being like'
[03:04.32]Ow yeah, Immortal Technique -

[03:10.86]Your peoples getting shot dead in the street, that's aaiight
[03:14.28]I'm the mother******g Immortal Technique *************!
[03:17.14]The message and the money!
[03:18.64]And you ain't got either!
[03:20.20]Remember that!
