3rd World motherfuckers

I?m from where the gold and diamonds are ripped from the earth

Right next to the slave castles where the water is cursed

From where police brutality?s not half as nice

It makes the hood in America look like paradise

Compared to the AIDS infested Caribbean slum

African streets where the passport's an American gun

From where they massacre people and try to keep it quiet

And spend the next 25 years try'na deny it

I?m from where they cut your hands off if you make a fist

And niggas grow cocoa 'cause the job market doesn?t exist

Except slave labor modern day company store

And peace keepers don?t ever, ever, ever come here no more

From where the bombs that they used to drop on Vietnam

Still has children born deformed 8 month before they gone

I?m from where they lost the true meaning of the Quran

'Cuz heroin is not compatible with Islam

And niggas know that but grow that poppy seed anyway

'Cause that food drop parachute does not come every day

I?m from where people pray to the gods of their conquerors

And practically every president's a money launderer

From where the only place democracy's acceptable

Is if America?s candidate is electable

And they might even have a black president but he?s useless

'Cause he does not control the economy stupid

Lock and load your gun where I?m from the 3rd world son

Been to many places but I?m 3rd world born

Guerrillas hit and run where I?m from the 3rd world son

You polluted everything and now the 3rd world?s gone

The water is poison where I?m from the 3rd world son

700 children died by the end of this song

Revolution'll come where I?m from the 3rd world son

Constant occupation leaves the 3rd world torn

I?m from where the Catholic church is some racist shit

They helped Europe and America rape this bitch

They pray to white Spanish Jesus whose face is this

But never talk about the black pope Gelasius

I?m from where Soviet weapons still decide elections

Military?s like the mafia you pay for protection

Catamite sex tours is what the country sells

And rich white business men make the best clientele

I?m from where they too pussy to come film Survivor

And they murder Coca-Cola union organizers

I?m from where the justice system esta podrido

Fuck government niggas politic over perico

Rebelde concido, enterado vivo

Como otro Argentino desaparecido

'Cause RICO laws don?t apply to the CIA

And muthafuckas make sneakers for a quarter a day

I?m from where they overthrow democratic leaders

Not for the people but for the Wall Street Journal readers

From where blacks, indigenous peoples and Asians

Were once the slaves of Caucasians

And it?s amazin' how they trained them to be racist against themselves

In the place they was raised in, you kept us caged in

Destroyed our culture and said that you civilized us

Raped our women and when we were born you despised us

Gentrified us agent provocateurs divide us

And crucified every revolutionary messiah

So I?m a start a global riot that not even your fake

Anti-communist dictators can keep quiet

Fuck your charity medicine tryna' murder me

The immunizations you gave us were full of mercury

So now I see the 3rd world like the rap game soldier

Nationalize the industry and take it over

Lock and load your gun where I?m from the 3rd world son

Been to many places but I?m 3rd world born

Guerrillas hit and run where I?m from the 3rd world son

You polluted everything and now the 3rd world?s gone

The water is poison where I?m from the 3rd world son

700 children died by the end of this song

Revolution'll come where I?m from the 3rd world son

Constant occupation leaves the 3rd world torn
