The Cause of Death Lyrics

Yeah, broadcasting live from Harlem, New York
Let the truth be known..

You better watch what the fuck flies outta ya mouth
Or I'ma hijack a plane and fly it into your house
Burn your apartment with your family tied to the couch
And slit your throat, so when you scream, only blood comes out
I doubt that there could ever be...a more wicked MC
'Cuz AIDs infested child molesters aren't sicker than me
I see the world for what it is, beyond the white and the black
The way the government downplays historical facts
'Cuz the United States sponsored the rise of the 3rd Reich
Just like the CIA trained terrorists to the fight
Build bombs and sneak box cutters onto a flight
When I was a child, the Devil himself bought me a mic
But I refused the offer, 'cuz God sent me to strike
With skills unused like fallopian tubes on a dyke
My words'll expose George Bush and Bin Laden
As two separate parts of the same seven headed dragon
And you can't fathom the truth, so you don't hear me
You think illuminati's just a fuckin conspiracy theory?
That's why Conservative racists are all runnin' shit
And your phone is tapped by the Federal Government
So I'm jammin' frequencies in ya brain when you speak to me
Technique will rip a rapper to pieces indecently
Pack weapons illegally, because I'm never hesitant
Sniper scoping a commission controllin the president


Father, forgive them, for they don't know right from wrong
The truth will set you free, written down in this song
And the song has the Cause of Death written in code
The Word of God brought to life, that'll save ya soul..

Save ya soul motherfucker...save ya soul..

I hacked the Pentagon for self-incriminating evidence
Of Republican manufactured white powder pestilence
Marines Corps. flak vest, with the guns and ammo
Spittin' bars like a demon stuck inside a piano
Turn a Sambo into a soldier with just one line
So here's the truth about the system that'll fuck up your mind
They gave Al Queda 6 billion dollars in 1989 to 1992
And now the last chapters of Revelations are coming true
And I know a lot of people find it hard to swallow this
Because subliminal bigotry makes you hate my politics
But you act like America wouldn't destroy two buildings
In a country that was sponsoring bombs dropped on our children
I was watching the Towers, and though I wasn't the closest
I saw them crumble to the Earth like they was full of explosives
And they thought nobody noticed the news report that they did
About the bombs planted on the George Washington bridge
Four Non-Arabs arrested during the emergency
And then it disappeared from the news permanently
They dubbed a tape of Osama, and they said it was proof
"Jealous of our freedom," I can't believe you bought that excuse
Rockin a motherfucking flag don't make you a hero
Word to Ground Zero
The Devil crept into Heaven, God overslept on the 7th
The New World Order was born on September 11

Father, forgive them, for they don't know right from wrong
The truth will set you free, written down in this song
And the song has the Cause of Death written in code
The Word of God brought to life, that'll save ya soul..
Save ya soul motherfucker...save ya soul..

And just so Conservatives don't take it to heart
I don't think Bush did it, 'cuz he isn't that smart
He's just a stupid puppet taking orders on his cell phone
From the same people that sabotaged Senator Wellstone
The military industry got it poppin' and lockin'
Looking for a way to justify the Wolfowitz Doctrine
And as a matter of fact, Rumsfeld, now that I think back
Without 9/11, you couldn't have a war in Iraq
Or a Defense budget of world conquest proportions
Kill freedom of speech and revoke the right to abortions
Tax cut extortion, a blessing to the wealthy and wicked
But you still have to answer to the Armageddon you scripted
And Dick Cheney, you fuckin leech, tell them your plans
About building your pipelines through Afghanistan
And how Israeli troops trained the Taliban in Pakistan
You might have some house niggaz fooled, but I understand
Colonialism is sponsored by corporations
That's why Halliburton gets paid to rebuild nations
Tell me the truth, I don't scare into paralysis
I know the CIA saw Bin Laden on dialysis
In '98 when he was Top Ten for the FBI
Government ties is really why the Government lies
Read it yourself instead of asking the Government why
'Cuz then the Cause of Death will cause the propaganda to die..

Best two lines ever:

quoted from scarp. "He is propaganda.

Rumsfeld killing freedom of speech? thats why he can make such a radical song about a theory that is just preposterous."

People like you are the reason that he can say shit like this. You think it's "preposterous". They know that most people will think this. Why don't you try opening your fucking eyes and doing some reading? The evidence is there if you aren't scared to look, and just blindly support the US of A, or Jesus, or whatever the hell else you don't question. It appears project MKULTRA wasn't a complete failure and probably isn't dead, because people like you are quite obviously brainwashed. Do some reading, then come back and try to disregard these facts that IT states.

Anyway, I just heard about him about 2 weeks ago and his music as well as Aesop Rock have been playing constantly in my CD player or on my computer. Good shit.

Good to see another Aesop fan

Glad I wasn't the only one rocking aes and tech at damn near the same time. Stumbled onto weerd science, and The Martyr just dropped, so I've got more music rolling :)

I've been using this site for a while now, and this song made me sign up jus to comment. I personally love the song. This with the 4th branch, and Proverty on Vol. 1 really opened my eyes to alot of things.

I agree with Disposition. No one here would be able to talk any of this shit to his face. But at the same time, i'm not going to welcome him as an automatic prophet like Narcotic Angel did, so quick to run to Tech's defence.

"They know that most people will think this. Why don't you try opening your fucking eyes and doing some reading? The evidence is there if you aren't scared to look, and just blindly support the US of A, or Jesus, or whatever the hell else you don't question."

By accepting his word as "gospel" as soon as you hear it, how does that make you any better then the people he's talking to? How are you any different? Did you do any reading? Form that responce, it really dosen't look like it. You sounds like a mindless drone breed by the words he spoke that were ment to enlighten. When you posted, it sounded like an echo of one of his songs, not something from someone with a mind of their own.

I dont think he's propaganda, but that dosent mean im not going ot go look up what he's talking about either. The whole purpose of his words is to get people to open their eyes on books, not to spread conspricy theories or breed contempt toward those who dont know any better.

The contempt should be toward those who do no better and choose to decieve, not the ones blinded by lies.

-ib2raw06

Do you know what the Government is doing? Do you know the basis of the war right now? And you better not say for Freedom..

Quit all this judging. And Actually those "blinded by lies," are also in fault, cause they believe what they are hearing, and seeing.. "Believe none of what you hear, and half of what you see." Benjamin Franklin

Thank you Immortal Tech for once again speaking the truth. "And the song has the Cause of Death written in code"

Cover art for The Cause of Death lyrics by Immortal Technique

I love how he flows so easily and smoothly about the vast right wing conspiracies, it almost sounds like he's freestyling. Awesome song.

Cover art for The Cause of Death lyrics by Immortal Technique

what exactly does he mean by the title? 'Cuz then the Cause of Death will cause the propaganda to die..

Cover art for The Cause of Death lyrics by Immortal Technique

i dont know but its one of the best songs lyrically EVER!

Cover art for The Cause of Death lyrics by Immortal Technique

Technique is a lyrical genius.

and he knows what the fuck he's talking about. Notice how he never brags about his money or cars...ever, like the bullshit that's being played lately. He has the smartest lyrics out of EVERY OTHER RAPPER.

Cover art for The Cause of Death lyrics by Immortal Technique

lol

Cover art for The Cause of Death lyrics by Immortal Technique

Good song but its contradictory. If he claims that the the govt uses religion to blind the people then why is he using religion to sell his opinion to us?

Religion doesn't belong to any one person. It can be used different way by different people, for good or bad. MLK and George W both say they are christians :S, i think that says a lot

Not Valid

How does Immortal Technique ever talk about his religious beliefs or even preach about a religion in any of his songs?

Not Valid

hes not using religion to sell his opinion. religion is man-made. there is no religion there is only god and jesus christ and the bible. religion is a distraction.
