Intro: from the film "Scarface"]Host: I've heard whispers about the financial supportyour government receives from the drug industry.
Guest: Well, the irony of this, of course, is thatthis money, which is in the billions, is coming fromyour country. You see, you are the major purchaser ofour national product, which is of course cocaine.
Host: On one hand, you're saying the United Statesgovernment is spending millions of dollars toeliminate the flow of drugs onto our streets. At thesame time, we are doing business with the very samegoverment that is flooding our streets with cocaine.
Guest: Mmm-hmm, si, si. Let me show you a few othercharacters that are involved in this tragic comedy.[
Beat starts]*
Two Men Speak in Spanish*[Immortal Technique - Worker]I'm on the border of Bolivia, working for pennies
Treated like a slave, the coke fields have to be ready
The spirit of my people is starving, broken and sweaty
Dreaming about revolution (REVOLUTION!) looking at my machete
But the workload is too heavy to rise up in arms
And if I ran away, I know they'd probably murder my moms
So I pray to "Heso Preisto" when I go to the mission
Process the cocaine, paced and play my position[
Pumpkinhead - Cocaine Field Boss]Ok, listen while I'm out there, just give me my product
Before we chop off ya hands for worker's misconduct
I got the power to shoot a copper, and not get charged
And it would be sad to see your family in front of a firing squad
So to feed your kids, I need these bricks40 tons in total, let me test it, indeed I (*sniff*)Shit, this is good, pass me a tissue
And don't worry about them, I paid off the officials[
Diabolic - Peruvian Leader]Yo, it don't come as a challenge, I'm the son of some of the foulest
Elected by my people...the only one on the ballot
Born and bred to consult with feds, I laugh at fate
And assassinate my predecessor to have his place
In a third-world fashion state, lock the nation
With 90% of the wealth in 10% of the population
The Central Intelligence Agency takes weight faithfully
The finest type of China white and cocaine you'll see[
Tonedeff - American Drug Distributor]Honey I'm home, nevermind why our bank account's suddenly grownIt's funny, we're so out of this debt from this money we owe
Woulda ya...mind if I told you I had two governments overthrown
To keep our son enrolled in a private school, and to keep ya tummy swollenC'mon, our fuckin' home was built on the foundation of bloody throats
The hungry stolen of they souls, of course this country's runnin' coke
I took a stunted oath to hush the one's who know
But CIA conducts the flow of these young hustlers who lust for dough[
Poison Pen - Drug Dealer]I don't work in the hood (Hit my connect)
Plus what's really good, they supply for the hood
These dudes fucking crack me up, scrutinize like we inferior
Petrified when we meet in my area (calm down)
My dude's'll shoot until I say so, got the loot?
Give me the YAY YAY like Ice Cube, so don't play with my llello
We won't stop for you bastards
Must choose (?), chop it and bag it[
Loucipher - Undercover Police Officer]Taking pictures and tapping phones
Debating snitches and cracking codes
Past a couple, blast the fo',Want any hustler stacking dough with probably crack the blow
And my overtime is where your taxes go
I gain your trust
Get you to hand weight to us because we paid up front
On the low with cameras taping ya
Getting pop away? The prison sentence is going to
Make the officer leave with two ki's out the evidence room[C-
Rayz Walz - Prison Inmate]Out the evidence room (*Said with Loucipher*)Went my fame, truck, boat or plane, they watching you
You think you got work? They copping too
We control blocks, they lock countries
Ya own companies, we had nice cars and sneaker money
Now there's players out there, talking 'bout the holding
With bugs in they house like they down South with windows open
Your dough ain't long, you wrong, you take shorts and (?)Feds will be up in your mouth...like forks and spoons
So enjoy the rush, live plush off Coke bread
Soon you'll be in a cell with me, like Jenny LopezIn school, I was a bully, now life is fully a joke
I keep a flow on a boat for Peruvian CokePlayers do favors for governers and tax makers
Fat Quakers smoke crack and sex acts with bad mayors
The walls got ears, you big mouths probably scared
Not prepared to do years like Javier[Immortal Technique Speaking]The story just told is an example of the path thatdrugs take on their way to every neighborhood, inevery state of this country. It's a lot deeper thanthe niggas on your block. So when they point thefinger at you, brother men, this is what you've got to tell them:[
Wesley Snipes - from "New Jack City"]I'm not guilty. YOU'RE the one that's guilty. Thelawmakers, the politicians, the Columbian drug lords,all you who lobby against making drugs legal.

This thingis bigger than (Immortal Technique). This is bigbusiness. This is the American way.
