The Getaway

Immortal Technique

Yo, I hate my job, so I always look to a better day
Far from New York City on a tropical getaway
But not in Miami
'Cause these white Cuban anti-Castro's can't stand me
And that's the reason I'll never win a fixed up Latin Grammy
After this racist Latinos'll goddamn me
But my black people love me
And when I go to South America, people be tryna hug me
'Cause I talk about reality that effects them
And even though I blew up I could never neglect them
What kind of a revolutionary action would that be?
I be categorizing practically every other MC
But never that, 'cause I'm clever with facts, sever your raps
Fake players and thugs will forever be whack
I'm still rollin' with my squadron heavily strapped
And even if I get killed I'll inevitably be back
Encyclopedia HispanicA are over digital dat
Don't ever compare me with small-minded criminal cats
I kill kids on tracks, like Dale Earnhardt
Spit in your face and leave your cheekbone with a burn mark
I was born a genius, but I learned to be street smart
My vacation just started, I'm out to the Caribbean
Swimmin' in Dominican women the color of cinnamon
You mothafuckers wish you had the lifestyle I'm livin' in

East Coast to West Coast and everything in between
This is dedicated to everybody chasing their dreams
This ghetto fabulous life really ain't what it seems
But I'ma make it, 'cause I got survival stuck in my genes

East Coast to West Coast and everything in between
This is dedicated to everybody chasing their dreams
This ghetto fabulous life really ain't what it seems
But I'ma make it, 'cause I got survival stuck in my genes

Word up (Word!) Immoral Technique
Representing Harlem
All the way out to my fam, in Inglewood
I'm out, mothafucker! (Laughs the ghetto way, nigga!)
