One (Remix) Lyrics

[Intro]
[Akir:] Yo tech, it's the last call baby it's good
[Immortal Technique:] Yeah, you know a remix just feels right dog?
[Akir:] Before we get outta here, you gotta drop one last gem on them
Knahmsayin?
[Immortal Technique:] No question, it's like the elders told me
No one person can do anything, but everyone can do something
So we gotta rep, for all the niggaz that ain't here right now
[Akir:] The outro tip, the One Remix, yo

[Akir]
One Enterprises, comprises the artist and the sound
The pen and paper plays my savior while I'm getting down
Pray for my nieghbors as a favor for holding me down
Slave for my papers as I savor the way that it pounds
It's underground, but the blatent vibrations widely found
Facing the nation complacent radio stations now
Stop hesitaing and contemplating the way we paitient
Start motivating and get them playin the shit we sayin
Ain't no delayin in this war that we gettin slayed in
Cause times a waistin while we stand adjacent to abrasions
They fouls are more than flagrant
And so I see the prisons cages while I pound the pavement
Looking for payment saying fuck enslavement
Usin the tools of old ancients
Announcing my engagment to this music that we making
Ain't no faking on tracks, and we ain't never come wack (never!)
Immortal Technique and Akir y'all niggaz fear us that's a wrap
It's like

[Hook]
One love
One music
One people
One movement
One heart
One spark
One, One, One, One
One gift
One lift
One stance
One shift
One way
One day
One, One, One, One, One

[Immortal Technqique]
Immortal Technique in the trenches with my nigga Akir
Our family survived the genocides so we can be here
And now we enterprise the aftermath, one in the same
Living the revolution 'till we catch one in the brain
And even then my spirit will return in heavenly form
And wipe the chess board clean, of my enemies pawns
The Red Dawn communist threat, buried and gone
So they invented a war, the government can carry on
It makes me wonder if the word of god is lost to the man
This is for the children of Iraq, lost in the sand
This is for the illest emcees that'll never be known
And this is for all the soliders that'll never come home
I wrote this for Mumia, stuck in a beast
For people who, march in the streets, and struggle for peace
For hood niggaz, born rugged, never rocking Versace
Eddie Ramierez's cousin George, and my old friend Sashi
Chris from the block, and all my niggaz stuck in a cell
Paul Wolfowitz, motherfucker I'll see you in hell
My destiny is to show the world, that the music is real
Go back in time and play this shit, for the slaves in the field
And for my children in the future, waiting to breathe
People slowly dying hanging on, waiting to leave
Believe when I'm gone, and this album's on a library shelf
I'll be one with god and one with you and everything else

[Hook]

[Immortal Technique talking]
Yeah..
Revolutionary Volume 2 has been brought to you
By the type of motherfuckers who ain't scared of shit
And if you playing this album, and I'm no longer here
And sometime far away from when I recorded this
Remember that history
Isn't the way the corporate controlled media made it look like
Read between the lines and free your mind
Revolution is the birth of equality
And the anti-thesis to oppression
But this is only built for real motherfuckers
So when I'm gone, don't let nobody I never got along with
Try to make songs kissing my ass, recycling my beats or my vocals
The shit is real over here man
Thank you for listening, and thank you for supporting independent Hip Hop
The heart and soul of our culture
Keeping the truth alive
Goodnight my people.. goodnight..

Cover art for One (Remix) lyrics by Immortal Technique

This song is in no way lighthearted, nor is it really feel good. This song is about communism, and about people coming together for change. Then again, Tech really isn't all that lighthearted of a guy, so I guess in comparison to some of the other songs on the CD, it's not quite so in-your-face and raw, but it's a powerful and deeply felt song.

"I wrote this for Momia"

Mumia.

Cover art for One (Remix) lyrics by Immortal Technique

great ending to the CD...one of my favorite songs from the CD actually

"It's underground, but the blatent vibrations widely found Facing the nation complacent radio stations now"

Cover art for One (Remix) lyrics by Immortal Technique

I wonder why he pronounced antithesis wrong...

Cover art for One (Remix) lyrics by Immortal Technique

no he didn't.

Cover art for One (Remix) lyrics by Immortal Technique

yeah, he did. it's pronounced "Antih-this-is", not "An-tie-thee-sis." I think Canibus pronounced it wrong on Poet Laureate II, or maybe it was another word.

but stil a great song, oddly comforting despite its subject matter

Cover art for One (Remix) lyrics by Immortal Technique

This is probably the most light-hearted, feel good song on the Revolutionary Volume 2. It is a great ending to the CD, and certainly gave me a feel of completion after listening through the entire album. But, this last song just makes me miss the album, and so I listen to it from the beginning again.

Cover art for One (Remix) lyrics by Immortal Technique

Cover art for One (Remix) lyrics by Immortal Technique

Great song...a good wrap-up to the album for sure.

One correction: "The red don communist threat, buried and gone"

Should be "Red Dawn" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Dawn)
