Reverse Pimpology Lyrics


Hypocrites, hookers, sex offenders.
Ya'll niggas want to be pimps and players?
This ain't 1997 nigga.
I'd rather be rich and unhappy, then broke and miserable.
Because the game don't give a fuck, If you're lyrical.
And that's pitiful, so my position is pivotal.
You can hate me all you like, but you worship the principle.
I inspire revolution, the government's not invincible.
Vietnam to Venezuela, trick knowledge they pimpin' you,
all up in the hood, like McDonald's and liquor.
Selling AIDS medicine, well we know you got the cure, nigga.
You're leery of conspiracy theories, but hear me.
From a business perspective it makes more sense, clearly.
Cuz more over, that's what we go to war over, and numbers don't lie
Unless we do Bush and Gore over.
Free markets, make money disingenuously,
But i invest in agriculture biochemistry, smart nigga from the hood,
Pussy! What type of crime is that?

But execs are like 'you from Harlem where your diamonds at?'
If you're lookin for the money or the fame,
the players and the rules ain't changed.
you see we're trying to leave our name,
see how we're turning out?
This is how pimps get pimped,
And players get played,
Rich people get robbed,
And broke niggas paid.
New York, London, Chicago, Philly and L.A,
Miami, DC, B-more and out in the bay.
We're tearing it out of the frame.
so we deserve to stake that claim.
if we didn't it's a crying shame.
what we're concerned about is how we're turning out.
Show me a pretty girl, with the world stuck to her,
And i bet you there's a brother that's tired of fucking her.
Lots of niggas girls are someone else's one night stand.
I probably make some bitches nervous, listening with their man,
And if that offends somebody, I'm sorry, fuck you.
What you think? Revolutionaries don't like to fuck too?
You just gotta beware of dangerous coochie,
Cover your head like coofee, some rappers think that they live in a movie.
Until they get herpies or clap from a groupie,
And i don't need to shout you out,
Nigga you know who you be,
Look. These people are only players because they got played,
And have not let go of that shit since the seventh grade.
Yeah you got your heart broke, life sucks doesn't it?
But you shouldn't fuck up someone else's life because of it.
Someone did your mother like that, that's why you're fatherless.
Before jail and racist cops, that's what the problem is.
See who's the one to place that blame.
we're getting trapped in a cycle of pain,
we're the generation is going down the drain.
that's how we're turnin' out.
This is how pimps get pimped,
And players get played,
Beautiful women get cheated on,
And gangsters sprayed.
Jersey, Detroit, Denver, Phoenix, Atlanta, Texas, Vegas, Seattle
and fuckin' Louisiana.
Regardless of the money you're paid.
To spend it on a watch and a chain.
You can't offer your children a thing.
What the hell is going on in your brain?
Look how we're turning out.
I'm not a crack rapper,
I'm not a backpacker,
I'm not a whack rapper,
Moonlighting as a bad actor.
I treat labels like the projects, cuz I'm a hater.
Go to the Sony building and piss in the elevator.
Cater hustlers, crooks and cheap smugglers,
bootleg my own album, to reach customers.
Every city state, in the country, the hood loves me.
Even aborigines in Australia bump me.
They say underground fans are all the color of talcum.
Who the fuck you think buy fifty and jay albums?
Who the fuck you think made snoop and dre platinum?
Call up any major record label and ask them.
But there are some devils in disguise in hip hop.
That that belong in republican fundraisers with Kid Rock.
I hope one my of fans has one of your kids shot,
And blames it on acid, Prozac and Slipknot.
You a pussy acting hard like bitch cop,
I'll drop you do the floor like a reverse wrist lock.
Eat your food and shit on you, like a highway pit stop.
And make revolutionaries outta kids that used to flip rocks.
The government pimped 9/11 to go to Iraq,
And history repeats itself right on track,
Cuz that's a tragedy, and then the comedy begins, (why)
because its funny motherfuckers, don't see it come around again.
Where can we be free?
We only want to live our lives,(live our lives)
with our eyes open.
Open your eyes, you stupid mothafucka,(you stupid mothafucka)
open your eyes, before you die

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Felipe Andres Coronel (born February 19, 1978), better known by the stage name Immortal Technique, is a Peruvian rapper, and an urban activist. He was born in Lima, Peru and raised in Harlem, New York. Most of his lyrics focus on controversial issues in global politics. The views expressed in his lyrics are largely a mixture of socialist commentary on issues such as class hierarchy, poverty, religion, government and institutional racism.

Immortal Technique has voiced a desire to keep control over his production, and has stated in his music that record companies, not artists themselves, profit the most from mass production and marketing of music. He claimed in an interview to have sold close to 200,000 units of his three official releases.


Biography
Early life
Coronel is African-Peruvian and was born in 1978 in a military hospital in Lima. His family emigrated in 1980 to Harlem to escape the ongoing internal conflict in Peru. During his teenage years he was arrested multiple times due in part to what he has said was "selfish and childish" behavior. He attended Hunter College High School on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Shortly after enrolling in Pennsylvania State University, he was arrested and charged with assault-related offenses due to his involvement in an altercation between fellow students, the charges stemming from this incident led to him being incarcerated for a year. After being paroled, he took political science classes at Baruch College in New York City for two semesters at the behest of his father, who allowed Coronel to live with him on the condition that he go to school. Honing his rapping skills in jail, and unable to find decent wage-paying employment after his release, Coronel began working on the restaurants of New York while bad mouthing MCs whenever the opportunity arose. This, coupled with his victories in numerous freestyle rap competitions of the New York underground hip hop scene such as Rocksteady Anniversary, Braggin Rites and others, led to his reputation as a ferocious Battle MC.

Revolutionary Vol.1 and Vol.2
In 2001 , Immortal Technique released his first album Revolutionary Vol. 1 without the help of a record label or distribution, instead using money earned from his rap battle triumphs. Revolutionary Vol. 1 also contained the underground classic Dance With The Devil. In November 2002, he was listed by The Source in its "Unsigned Hype" column, highlighting artists that are not signed to a record label. The following year, in September 2003, he received the coveted "Hip Hop Quotable" in The Source for a song entitled "Industrial Revolution" from his second album. Immortal Technique is the only rapper in history to have a "Hip Hop Quotable" while being unsigned. He released his second album Revolutionary Vol. 2 in 2003. In 2004, Viper Records and, in 2005, Babygrande Records re-released Immortal Technique's debut, Revolutionary Vol. 1, to make it available to a wider audience. "Point of No Return" from Revolutionary Vol 2 was used as the entrance theme for Rashad Evans during the UFC 88 Main Event between Chuck Liddell and Rashad Evans.

The 3rd World and The Middle Passage

Between 2005 and 2007 Immortal Technique began working on The Middle Passage and The 3rd World, the two albums that would serve a follow up to Revolutionary Vol. 2 and complete the series. He was also featured on several movie soundtracks and video game soundtracks, all the while touring relentlessly and becoming heavily involved in visiting prisons to speak to youth and working with immigrant rights activists and raising tens of thousands of dollars for children’s hospitals overseas. He invested his money not in items that are usually associated with fame but rather in large pieces of farmland in Latin America. He created a writing grant program for high school students as well.
