In the Trenches

[Intro: Immortal Technique]

Yeah

[Chorus: Immortal Technique]

We in the trenches on the offensive

Runnin' through machine gun fire and barbed wire fences

Motherfuckers say that violence is senseless

But so is getting slaughtered when you caught up defenseless

We in the trenches on the offensive

Runnin' through machine gun fire and barbed wire fences (Rebel Armz)

Like the Viet Cong back with a vengeance

Your life is worthless but war is expensive

[Verse 1: Immortal Technique]

I'm like the spirit of the slave trade, follow the route

Why the fuck you think them hurricanes tear through the south?

And the Mid-Atlantic starving the frantic

Stranded, abandoned, but I'm branded the hand of God

So I stand in command of the answer for radiation driven cancer

Tuskegee and the way that they murdered the Panthers

Back-up dancers for proposition 187

But my counter-proposition is a one eighty seven

I'll put a bounty on the head of a racist reverend

And drag his body through the streets on September 11th

My presence is like a Pentagon produced earthquake

Forced abortion to control the birth-rate

Planned incarceration with test scores from the 4th grade

New world order just completed the fourth stage

But before I ever surrender to the law

I'll turn this shit into Haiti in 1794

[Chorus: Immortal Technique]

We in the trenches on the offensive

Runnin' through machine gun fire and barbed wire fences

Motherfuckers say that violence is senseless

But so is getting slaughtered when you caught up defenseless

We in the trenches on the offensive

Runnin' through machine gun fire and barbed wire fences (Rebel Armz)

Like the Viet Cong back with a vengeance

Your life is worthless but war is expensive

[Verse 2: J. Arch]

Now, respect I demand that, do your history

Give the Indians and Africans they land back

Bustin' my ass while the man stand back for minumun wage?

Nah, I just don't understand that

My skill level way beyond collegiate

Capsize the boat and make the passengers sea sick

Smooth with that street shit, [?] who I be with

Taking back what's ours like the peoples of Egypt

Rebel Armz' representer, I pledge my allegiance

No matter how I do it, I break through their defense

Fuck a false pretense or sensitive ass meanings

Germany getting nice on America's current events

North Korea nukes in the morning headlines for the evenings

We all cool as fuck, yet, they don't want to see us breathing

By the time she on the moon, check to see if they receive it

Madman militant it's strategic

[Chorus: Immortal Technique]

We in the trenches on the offensive

Runnin' through machine gun fire and barbed wire fences

Motherfuckers say that violence is senseless

But so is getting slaughtered when you caught up defenseless

We in the trenches on the offensive

Runnin' through machine gun fire and barbed wire fences (Rebel Armz)

Like the Viet Cong back with a vengeance

Your life is worthless but war is expensive

[Verse 3: Hasan Salaam]

This isn't just drums and rhythm, this is guns and ammunition

When it's sung, redrum for the system

Let the slugs rumpapum, get it buck when you listen

Anarchist cookbook, I got the heat in the kitchen

Act up and wind up using a tube for the pot that you piss in

Sundiata spittin', yeah, I rock for tradition

I'm a man on a mission like Clarence 13

Or the great Saladin leading the Mujahideen

Make moves like Kasparov, with a sawed-off and Molotov

Flows synonymous with the kickback of a Kalashnikov

Mossberg Upanishads, punishing your promenade

Like Arch Duke Ferdinand, *BONG* in front your entourage

Rebel Armz firing squad, lugers to bazookas

Mind's balanced with the talents of Larry Davis & Lumumba

Laying grounds for the future, Cairo on the 25th

All power to the people when that 5th Column spits
