Immortal Technique - The 4th Branch Lyrics






[Talking]
The new age is upon us
And yet the past refuses to rest in its shallow grave
For those who hide behind the false image of the son of man
shall stand before God!!! It has begun
The beginning of the end
Yeah..
Yeah... yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
The voice of racism preaching the gospel is devilish
A fake church called the prophet Muhammad a terrorist
Forgetting God is not a religion, but a spiritual bond
And Jesus is the most quoted prophet in the Qu'ran
They bombed innocent people, tryin' to murder Saddam
When you gave him those chemical weapons to go to war with Iran
This is the information that they hold back from Peter Jennings
Cause Condoleeza Rice is just a new age Sally Hemmings
I break it down with critical language and spiritual anguish
The Judas I hang with, the guilt of betraying Christ
You murdered and stole his religion, and painting him white
Translated in psychologically tainted philosophy
Conservative political right wing, ideology
Glued together sloppily, the blasphemy of a nation
Got my back to the wall, cause I'm facin' assassination
Guantanamo Bay, federal incarceration
How could this be, the land of the free, home of the brave?
Indigenous holocaust, and the home of the slaves
Corporate America, dancin' offbeat to the rhythm
You really think this country, never sponsored terrorism?
Human rights violations, we continue the saga
El Savador and the contras in Nicaragua
And on top of that, you still wanna take me to prison
Just cause I won't trade humanity for patriotism

[Hook]
It's like MK-ULTRA, controlling your brain
Suggestive thinking, causing your perspective to change
They wanna rearrange the whole point of view of the ghetto
The fourth branch of the government, want us to settle
A bandana full of glittering, generality
Fighting for freedom and fighting terror, but what's reality?
Read about the history of the place that we live in
And stop letting corporate news tell lies to your children

[Verse 2]
Flow like the blood of Abraham through the Jews and the Arabs
Broken apart like a woman's heart, abused in a marriage
The brink of holy war, bottled up, like a miscarriage
Embedded correspondents don't tell the source of the tension
And they refuse to even mention, European intervention
Or the massacres in Jenin, the innocent screams
U.S. manufactured missles, and M-16's
Weapon contracts and corrupted American dreams
Media censorship, blocking out the video screens
A continent of oil kingdoms, bought for a bargain
Democracy is just a word, when the people are starvin'
The average citizen, made to be, blind to the reason
A desert full of genocide, where the bodies are freezin'
And the world doesn't believe that you fightin' for freedom
Cause you fucked the Middle East, and gave birth to a demon
It's open season with the CIA, bugging my crib
Trapped in a ghetto region like a Palestinian kid
Where nobody gives a fuck whether you die or you live
I'm tryin' to give the truth, and I know the price is my life
But when I'm gone they'll sing a song about Immortal Technique
Who beheaded the President, and the princes and sheiks
You don't give a fuck about us, I can see through your facade
Like a fallen angel standing in the presence of God
Bitch niggaz scared of the truth, when it looks at you hard

[Hook]
It's like MK-ULTRA, controlling your brain
Suggestive thinking, causing your perspective to change
They wanna rearrange the whole point of view in the ghetto
The fourth branch of the government, want us to settle
A bandana full of glittering, generality
Fighting for freedom and fighting terror, but what's reality?
Martial law is coming soon to the hood, to kill you
While you hanging your flag out your project window

[Talking]
Yeah..
The fourth branch of the government AKA the media
Seems to now have a retirement plan for ex-military officials
As if their opinion was at all unbiased
A machine shouldn't speak for men
So shut the fuck up you mindless drone!
And you know it's serious
When these same media outfits are spending millions of dollars on a PR campaign
To try to convince you they're fair and balanced
When they're some of the most ignorant, and racist people
Giving that type of mentality a safe haven
We act like we share in the spoils of war that they do
We die in wars, we don't get the contracts to make money off 'em afterwards!
We don't get weapons contracts, nigga!
We don't get cheap labor for our companies, nigga!
We are cheap labor, nigga!
Turn off the news and read, nigga!
Read... read... read...

Immortal Technique The 4th Branch Comments
  1. F.... H....

    Reall hip hop

  2. F.... s....

    One his best works.

  3. c.... b....

    When Technique started rapping.. I got goosies

  4. I.... N....

    Racist, pecker licking, shit pushing fggts is what them punks are. I told six punk ass coward cops one night back in August 2018, after they fd me up while hollering "quit resisting!!" when I wasn't doing or saying shite as they were dragging my ass across the pavement knees pressed into the back of my neck so hard that B, cracked, then placing it into my esophagus and corroded artery, cutting off my air and blood to my brain, only stopping when they noticed a man recording them on his phone. I told them punks, "YOU TAKE THEM BADGES AND GUNS OFF AND I'LL FLOOR ALL YOU MOFOS," after I was finally able to get to one knee and handcuffed. Them bitches are true arrogant, cocky, instigating, provoking smart mouth bitches. I promise they put me in a room with one, it won't be any pigs making it out, turn their sorry lying asses into bacon. The whole system all the way to that dick licking magistrate, dishonorable wanna play judge fggt is corrupt as all hell. All for using my pedal cranking bicycle to come home from work one beautiful evening, until that bitch cop did a u turn and started his stupid shit. Robert Carillo, Arresting bitch, Supervisor, George Lill, ASA, Andrew Whitfield, Representative for the "PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS," Lori A. "Dike" Anderson, and Last but not least,, Thomas Clinton "pecker licking fggt" Hull the 3rd for how many D's he takes at one time, presumably, out of (KANE) COUNTY ILLINOIS, also the VILLAGE OF AURORA, EASTSIDE DISTRICT, AT 1200 EAST INDIAN TRAIL RD. 60505. Tell these young gangbangers, why y'all killing each other? cause someone else is distributing recreational chemicals and herb, on your corner? You guys are warring against the wrong people, killing your brothers. I say you eliminate a certain corrupt blue man group and their superiors, you guys can sell whatever you want, when you want, where ever you want and won't be bothered and harassed, or have to worry about being treated like an animal locked in their cages, so they can get a kickback by the bigger group of homos in that 10 sqaure mile radius somewheres around the North East region of this land, America. $300.00 a night, per inmate.🙄🤔,,,😕😲WTF???? Yes cheeeldrin,, it's True..

    I.... N....

    The state needs to collapse but we can't forget the inmates ...they'll be an asset to our ranks unlike state sanctioned gangs

    I.... N....

    Sorry that happened to you i know how corrupt the system is too...and cops wanna just say theyre following orders when the ppl making the orders are worse than us ...

  5. I.... N....

    Damn four years ago.. Man this shits getting shared with everyone I know,,, I swear I wanna bitch slap the ignorance outta of these thoughtless, mindless peckerwood lazy none caring fn robots who are shown the truth in writing but don't even give a f that this fake punk pussy ass government robs kills and is destroying this country. Think this shits a joke. I asked the Almighty today,,, "WHY FATHER DID YOU NOT HANDOUT COMMONSENSE TO ALL THESE FN MOFOS WHOSE MINDS HAVEN'T EVOLVED INTO THE SPIRITUAL BEING YOU MADE THEM TO BE, BY GIVING YOUR BREATHE FOR LIFE TO THEIR BODIES DESIGNED LIKE THEIR MOTHER EARTH." When the lights always on, they wouldn't recognize darkness if it sat on their Harry crusty noses.. They would just stare at it cross eyed with a goofy grin on their fugly ass faces.. It's like saving someone from drowning, as their scared pussy asses fight against the help, ya eventually gotta drill them dumb mofos right in their weak chins to knock them out. Go night night for a minute stupid f, and when the light enters and you wake the f up, hopefully,, They'll be a little more ENLIGHTENED..😳,,😨🤛,STFU B, I GOT THIS..🌅,,,🏖️,,💡🕯️🔦🔥🌄.😐😯😮🤔🙄,,,☝️AHH HAH!!!,, DING DING DING.😃🤗. Congratulations they just mentally evolved from 🐒 to 🕺plus💡or 🌄🔥🕯️🔦,🗿💨👥🙏☯️👫. The fn End.

  7. D.... V....

    For anybody who don't know, Electrical Magnetic Signals, ( EMS ) owes me a movie after a brainwashing campaign, I want five hundred billion dollars, 499 will be distributed to the Blue Planet, 3 billion dollars will be given to every state in America, Food Water Shelter and energy resources, 1 billion dollars will be kept for me and mine, Ihave also claimed as a property right, something known as the Higgs mechanism after they found traces of the Higgs boson particle at a particle accelerator called Cern in 2012, I have promised, as with this promise, that the island I have claimed will be distributed to humanity as there on occupy able space, and any kind of electrical activity broadcasting from your mind and your brain will be on a private property, so you tell electrical magnetic signals to bring me my f****** movie and you make this post go viral, I am also claiming weapons of mass destruction in regards to particle physics and the Higgs mechanism, which you can look up and find for yourselves

  8. i.... ....

    How could this be it must be the dumb in me

  9. r.... s....

    THE GUILT OF BETRAYING CHRIST YOU MURDERED AND STOLE HIS RELIGION AND PAINTED HIM WHITE TRANSLATED IN PSYCHOLOGICALLY TAINTED PHILOSOPHY ITS LIKE MK ULTRA CONTROLLING YOUR BRAIN SUGGESTIVE THINKING CAUSING YOUR PERSPECTIVE TO CHANGE A MACHINE SHOULDNT SPEAK FOR MEN SO SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU MINDLESS DRONE YOU DONT GIVE FUCK BOUT US I CN SEE THROUGH YOUR FACADE LIKE A FALLEN ANGEL STANDING IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD BITCH NIGGAS SCARED OF THE TRUTH WHEN IT LOOKS AT YOU HARD FOR THOSE WHO HIDE BEHIND THE FALSE IMAGE OF THE SON OF MAN SHALL STAND BEFORE GOD IT HAS BEGUN THE BEGINNING OF THE END

  10. J.... B....

    It's the beginning of the end? I've heard that since I was born. Too bad the believers of this bs don't put a bullet in their heads and make their end/apocalypse happen.

  11. L.... H....

    TELL IT LIKE IT IS. 🎶 FALSE. HISTORY NEEDS 2 B 🚫🚫🚫🚫

  13. W.... _....

    If only more people payed attention but they are sucked in without knowing.

  14. l.... b....

    Just found this lyrical genius was wondering why he wasn't famous and then I heard this...

  15. i.... e....

    I have been a major ran of Immortal Technique for a long time. I know the truth as more of us wake up to the madness. Once the world wakes up they will put in the plans to take everything away like we had rights to begin with. Like not every single person has a id number set by the system of every country the second we are all born. We are slaves no matter how you look at it. There is a Father and the son Jesus Christ and they have tainted the bond to the son. By teaching the wrong beliefs in church and the ways of satan and people don't even know....

  16. 4.... D....

    He says god is not religion, but a spiritual bond then why build mosques or churches if u can bond with a spirit from anywhere including from ur own home?

  17. S.... L....

    Man 2019 and this song is way too relevant right now.

  18. N.... N....

    Bulllshit

    N.... N....

    Continually proven correct.

    N.... N....

    You're a clear minority for the first time. The world is sick of Neo liberal Policies & YOUR B.S. Socialism IS winning and you don't even notice it in your bubble. Even in the U.S. we are preparing for revolt in mass numbers. Get ready for peace and justice.

    N.... N....

    It's actually not bullshit, maybe get your head out your ass and realize how shit is.

  19. A.... n....

    This guy is trying, but the Rolling Stones told us already that they were painting everything black! With only 14% of whites in the world, they are already doing quite well.

  20. Z.... N....

    Is he talking about Qanon at the end?

  21. B.... ....

    Using big words doesn't make you smart this song is wack

    B.... ....

    Lmao you might be autistic nigga, what "big" words are you referring too?😂😂😂

    B.... ....

    You probably like xxx and lil peep, stfu and gtfo here then bitch.

  22. q.... d....

    This song perfectly captures that annoying phase you go through at 19 years old. "The government maaaaaannnn.. they like, do bad stuff maaaan."

  23. F.... G....

    The ultimate truth is GOD, He made us and to him we will return.

    F.... G....

    Hail Satan!

  24. J.... 0....

    Hi beat please?

    Did I just heard one of the best lyrical Hip Hop song ever??
    Well, I do consider him as one of the greatest lyricist of Hip Hop genre since the day I know him.

  35. R.... W....

    "A fake church called the prophet Muhammad a terroist"
    Motherfucker, have you read the got-damn Koran? He married a fucking 6 year old, and the defender of this have two main defenses which I shit you not are basically "actually she was 9" and "he didn't marry her as soon as they were engaged so she probably was older" wowow. Seriously, FUCK the limped dick accusation of Islamophobia, and fuck religious zealotry; come live in the modern era and stop defending religious insanity

  36. D.... S....

    How can anybody be racist?

  37. D.... S....

    Man this guy is communist cancer

  38. W.... 8....

    talks about racism but with out slavery in america he and most of the blacks in america would not have been born (obviously not talking about the ones that came over after slavery) cause his parents would not have met and his parents parents would not have met etc and that goes for most blacks in america. so hate slavery all you want but most of them in america would not have been born if not for it.

  39. N.... N....

    What about the evil left wings

  40. S.... M....

    What’s funny is the mainstream media aka the” 4th branch” is almost 99% liberal nowadays, i grew up listening to Tech during the Bush era. Conservatives were the enemy at that time. Many neocons still exist but I cannot get onboard with the Democratic Party which has been systematically destroying inner cities, the public school system and keeping minority’s down for ever while they pretend like they’re the ones that care.

  41. J.... H....

    The truth is there is a wide range of political & economic ideologies from the far left to the far right... and even though immortal technique is a far leftist you still see far right wingers thinking his music is red-pilled just because he criticizes the media. The only thing right and left wing conspiracy theorists really agree on is that the media is corrupt.

    @jacek gabel I have a bigger problem with his fanboys. They mock Canibus without even listening to him and it breaks my heart as a fan of him because Canibus is a smart lyricist.

    That opening line applies to all Christians, on the Day of Judgement, when Jesus, pbuh, will be asked by Allah (God) if he told these "Christian's to worship him". Jesus will deny divinity, and answer no, of course I wouldnt not commit such blasphemy, you are the supreme one only God." Talk about the biggest shocker. Creating Jesus as your God is not in the scripture you were given, and is a blasphemous innovation. Furthermore, the final revelation from God makes it 100% clear Jesus, pbuh, was no more than a man, and a prophet. Stop worshipping idols, worship God, who has no beginning or end, knows all, and certainly is far above begetting a human son. Smh
