INTRO (Mos Def):

Man, you hear this bullshit they be talking Every day, man It's like these motherfuckers is just like professional liars You know what I'm sayin'? It's wild, listen

CHORUS (Mos Def + Jadakiss):

Bin Laden didn't blow up the projects It was you, nigga Tell the truth, nigga! Bush knocked down the towers Tell the truth, nigga! Bush knocked down the towers Tell the truth, nigga!

FIRST VERSE (Immortal Technique):

I pledge no allegiance, nigga, fuck the President's speeches! I'm baptized by America and covered in leeches The dirty water that bleaches your soul and your facial features Drownin' you in propaganda that they spit through the speakers And if you speak about the evil that the government does The Patriot Act will track you to the type of your blood They try to frame you and say you was tryna sell drugs And throw a federal indictment on niggas to show you love This shit is run by fake Christians, fake politicians Look at they mansions, and look at the conditions you live in All they talk about is terrorism on television They tell you to listen, but they don't really tell you they mission They funded al-Qaeda, and now they blame the Muslim religion Even though Bin Laden was a CIA tactician They gave him billions of dollars and they funded his purpose Fahrenheit 9/11? That's just scratchin' the surface!

CHORUS (Mos Def + Jadakiss):

Bin Laden didn't blow up the projects It was you, nigga Tell the truth, nigga! Bush knocked down the towers Tell the truth, nigga! Bush knocked down the towers Tell the truth, nigga!

SECOND VERSE (Immortal Technique):

They say the rebels in Iraq still fight for Saddam But that's bullshit, I'll show you why it's totally wrong ‘Cause if another country invaded the hood tonight It'd be warfare through Harlem and Washington Heights I wouldn't be fightin' for Bush or White America's dream I'd be fightin' for my people's survival and self-esteem I wouldn't fight for racist churches from the South, my nigga I'd be fightin' to keep the occupation out, my nigga You ever clock someone who talk shit or look at you wrong? Imagine if they shot at you and was rapin' your moms And of course Saddam Hussein had chemical weapons We sold him that shit after Ronald Reagan's election Mercenary contractors fightin' a new era Corporate military bankin' off the war on terror They controllin' the ghetto with the fear of attack Tryin' to distract the fact that they engineerin' the crack So I'm strapped, like Lee Malvo, holdin' a sniper rifle These bullets will touch your kids, and I don't mean like Michael Your body be sent to the morgue, stripped down and recycled I fire on house niggas that support you and like you ‘Cause innocent people get murdered in the struggle daily And poor people never get shit and struggle daily This ain't no alien conspiracy theory, this shit is real Written on the dollar underneath the Masonic seal

INTERLUDE (Eminem):

I don't rap for dead presidents I'd rather see the President dead It's never been said, but I set precedents

CHORUS (Mos Def + Jadakiss):

Bin Laden didn't blow up the projects It was you, nigga Tell the truth, nigga! Bush knocked down the towers Tell the truth, nigga! Bush knocked down the towers Tell the truth, nigga!

INTERLUDE (Eminem):

Shady Records was eighty seconds away from the Towers Some cowards fucked with the wrong building They meant to hit ours
