That’s What It Is lyrics

[Green Lantern]
(Invasion)
Ok... let's go... talk to em'... holler
Don't you get tired of hearing n*ggas say that sh*t?... all the time?
Why can't you shut the f*ck up and rhyme n*gga?!

[Immortal Technique]
Yeah... yeah
Used to run around getting my fight in the streets on
Back in the day before Harlem had a green zone
What good is a good education with no direction?
Like the right to vote with no one to vote for in an election
Like a gun with no bullets in the clip for protection
Like a crowd packed in the front without the midsection
Used to live robbing and stealing and being reckless
It took time for my mind to put the ghetto in perspective
I used to live in the back of a holding van
Used to be offbeat like the white girls' shoulder dance
I wrote rhymes a acappella, no beat behind bars
Shed blood to make it, like the story behind scars
I used to be a battle champion in the meanwhile
Before some of you little f*ckers learned to freestyle
Prematurely senile underground prima donnas
I was Oliver North during Iran Contra
Cause I never snitched, and that's backed by evidence
I learned it by watching you, don't ever forget it b*tch
Cause everybody knows how the government do
They never snitch on themselves, but they want you to snitch on YOU
Evolution from Australopithecus
Primitive commercial sh*t to hard-core lyricist
Your wax is useless, rappers are dropping like Icarus
Technological revolution... n*gga picture this
[Hook]
Motherf*cka what?

[Verse 2]
Yeah
I told you what it was, but this is what it is now
Lyrical bullets, packed to the top of the clip now
Treat it like a robbery, I'm shutting this sh*t down
Fellas put your hands up and the all the women strip down
That's not misogynist you ostriches, cause I could just, apocalypse
Talk politics to the populace
Or challenge what the market is
With militant caucuses
That'll smash the spirit of Hip Hop out the sarcophagus
This is the curse of Tutankhamen, I bring the drama on
I'm sinful, I eat you, broad daylight on Ramadan
Hip Hop, reparations, now we taking back Delucci
Don't tell me you spent it on coke, like Danny Bonaduce
We're tired of being on the outside, looking in
Wondering what the f*ck Hip Hop would've been
This is what it is, as opposed to what it used to be
And this is your corporate tax ID eulogy
Dominant species the new breed that won't let you breath
I'll make you die for what I believe
So we got nothing in common
There ain't no comparison
You got beef with n*ggas, I got beef with Aryans
White power Nazi European Americans
Rapid Poverty pimps, and fake vegetarians
The resurrection, ripping a ball through the record section
Flight connection to the Chechen border for guerrilla lessons
f*ck a middle man distributor, I got a choice now
This ain't Volume 1., I got a grown man's voice now
Toured the country four times over, I'm older and wiser
Poisonous words, you'll find strychnine in my saliva
[Hook]

(motherf*cka what?... Bring it to 'em raw)

[Verse 3]

I told you what it was, but this is what it is now
50 caliber bullets, I don't need a clip now
f*ck your private jet n*gga we shooting the sh*t down
Bomb wall street and make the stock market dip down
I told you what it was, but this is what it is now
You the sh*t n*gga? I don't care about sh*t now
I play the role of Abraham, idols get ripped down
Melt the ice caps, and make all of this sh*t drown

(No one out there can f*ck with me)
(motherf*cka what?)
(I speak that real sh*t)
(to smash the airwaves)
(I don't want to tell you motherf*ckers again)

[Outro]

“We’ve developed a new product. It’s completely synthetic, therefore, no growing, no refining, no peasants, best of all no international borders, no customs agents. There in that case in front of you are two detailed perspecti on marketing and anticipated cash flow and so forth…”
[Hector Guzman]
“You racist Americans, you just want to cut us poor hispanics completely out of the market.”
[David Jason]
"Now I think you know that there is no such thing as an American anymore. No Hispanics, no Japanese, no blacks, no whites, no nothing. Just rich people and poor people.”
