Immortal Technique - Sign of the Times Lyrics | HD
LYRICS:
[Intro: traditional Lakota Sioux song]
[Verse 1]
Imagine the Word of God without religious groupies
Imagine a savior born in a Mexican hooptie
Persecuted single mother in a modern manger
You'd crucify him again like a fuckin' stranger
Tears of the anger are worth more than diamonds or rubies
Imagine bein' locked up since juvie
Imagine changin' your life and still goin' out like Tookie
Imagine niggas talkin' shit when they never knew me
Imagine a movie that depicted the pain in your life
Like them kids in Afghanistan chasin' a kite
For most of the world, that's what it's like
Imagine if the woman you suppose to love for the rest of your life
Is set to marry someone else at the end of the night
They say you fight the greatest jihad in your heart and your mind
And fight the hardest when you start from behind
So I dream the impossible all the time
Fuck a Masonic design - America's future is mine
Repeat that to yourself, 'cause if culture's a crime
Them numbers tatted on your arm aren't too far behind
They can only conquer you after they've murdered your mind
So rise up, motherfucker, like the sign of the times
I feel my body weakenin', but my spirit is fine
Ready to go to war with devils at the drop of a dime
And fight with my rebel army until the stars are aligned
[Break: Lakota]
[Verse 2]
Nostradamus was a white man's prophet
Who predicated European supremacist logic
Because the pilgrims and Conquistador columns
Killed more innocent people than Hitler and Stalin
I guess the fortune-tellers skipped an antichrist or two
Brother, give this to the OG's doin' life with you
And pray for the problems with the Pope psychology
So the Vatican will offer an apology (for what?)
For destroyin' the people's liberation theology
Snatchin' the spirit of Jesus from people in poverty
Business decisions like keepin' people in prisons
But had the opposite effect: incarceratin' religion
That type of crooked politics imposed on a populous
Is obvious if you read the Northwood documents
Forget the compliments for what I recorded
And live for revolution instead of always dyin' for it
Remember a bullet can never stop me
My legions are led by the spirit Haile Selassie, watch me
Even if I'm shot in the chakra, I will prosper
Doppler effect, bumpin' music out a helicopter
Tellin' the Persians, "Dig up Zoroaster!"
And tell them I came back as the son of the Ahura Mazda
Fish out the Philistine Dagon from the shores of Gaza
And call Quetzalcoatl flyin' over La Raza
This is my message to the older gods
I'll sacrifice you all to the revolution, like the Romanovs
Lost in the desert like the Hebrews of Israel
The blood clot system tried to kill me like sickle-cell
But I survived, and I'm alive to fight another day
Cocooned in a coma, I can still hear my mother pray
Sister cryin' out to God, "Please let my brother stay!"
Walkin' towards the light, but somethin' is pullin' me the other way
[Outro: Cornel West]
Immortal Technique
Rise up, young brother!
It is not your time to die

Imagine if the woman you're supposed to love for the rest of your life, is set to marry someone else at the end if the night. Some men would end there life with such knowledge. Others would write about it

[@erniesedillo3033]

Others just live thru it and learn thru it...

[@warrenazzopardi2766]

Bro I'm living it trust

[@alexm2134]

Masterpiece. My favorite Tech song.

[@hammersaw3135]

Don't ever let this song be forgotten. There are not many as good as this one.

[@BlackestSheepBobBarker333]

Chills me to the bone. You know why this will never crack the mainstream (I'm glad it won't), it actually has something to say.

[@Leeterthanthou]

just like the hate on killer mike he had a verse on this magnum opus album, and people are mad

ITS A SIGN OF THE TIMES LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, do you want to listen? up to you.... not for me to say :)

[@ethan0kaplan]

"Fuck a Masonic design, America's future is mine! Repeat that to yourself, cause if culture's a crime, them numbers tattooed on your arm aren't too far behind." As a conservative Caucasian living in 2022, I find this lyric to be pretty fucking relevant. This whole album has aged like no other, because it was written ahead of its time. Every track has a message that has only become more relevant with time, just not in the same way I thought it would. Hats off to the GOAT for producing this masterpiece. Too bad the ignorant masses of antifa and BLM allowed themselves to be re-enslaved and now fight for their own captors' anti-human agenda.

[@Gaff.]

You're brainwashed, mate. How do actually fit these lyrics to what you've just applied them to? Boggles the mind how you think you're not ramming a square peg in a round hole.

[@marathonlogistics9943]

Guiding the population is freemasonry, they helped to develop the popular TRENDS, which is what they helped do thru out history, the prime antagonist

[@bricelarie6527]

What's the point that suicide ??? Do u really think going straight in the wall will solve anything ??? I guess i imagine you had to be able to think first, way before you had to ask ... If ever you were talking bout duties ... Sir !!! Dare, care, ride safe, clean, have fun ... From France with .

[@kuttigold]

Son of godhead

[@TheMCNemesisOnAmazonMusic]

Wow this is offbeat

[@TheMCNemesisOnAmazonMusic]

What makes IT so trash is those samples, total rip-off. And he’s offbeat. The lyricism is read like poetry with hardly no flow besides the gritty, racist overtone. Bad rap. Terrible music. The message is racist.

[@kellsmassey]

Dude you’ve been commenting hate on hella of his songs. But you still continue to listen? Stop being a fucking hater

[@f8mistake301]

Who.

[@f8mistake301]

Asked.

[@analseepage5785]

yeah you're a fuckin loser dude

[@lokeshanhjeriti2.064]

who asked man it is perfect

[@josuemendoza7]

This has been the best Lyric video I've ever seen. Super clean. Thank you.

[@themutualfriend5286]

I love this song so much. When I rap along with it I feel like I'm on fire.

[@S1MPLECAVEMAN]

Incredible song. Especially the second verse, gives me goosebumps.

[@Sagefrakrobatik]

There is this girl I like at my job she is mostly Native American descent, I really want to play this for her and get her reaction.

[@S1MPLECAVEMAN]

@@Sagefrakrobatik shoot your shot

[@Sagefrakrobatik]

@@S1MPLECAVEMAN I text her it but she didn't respond to it.

[@JuJu916JuJu]

@@Sagefrakrobatiklol

[@marianosantiniello2213]

​@@SagefrakrobatikProbably over her head 😅

[@Matty80822]

that nostradamus line

[@Abhishek-150]

what that line actually mean?

[@niziggz]

They say you fight the greatest jihad in your heart and your mind, and fight the hardest when you start from behind, So I dream the impossible all the time.

[@mikehernandez1780]

Epic song, toooo many references. Holly fuck hes calling out all the people that were looked at as mágica being and comparing them to modern times, while giving prespective. I wish he made New music.

[@kuttigold]

Time will remember whose words were true

[@marianosantiniello2213]

Last verse.... Sheesh!!! 🔥

[@Nick-hl6fg]

First time I heard this.reminded me of my aunt growing up with some my Mums family. I miss those guys not just intro but part of the message

[@ArcHourGaming]

Still great

[@user-c6x1iz9]

"The pilgrims and conquistador columns killed more innocent people than Hitler and Stalin"😢

[@user-c6x1iz9]

"Snatching the spirit of Jesus"😢
