[Intro: Pharoahe Monch & Immortal Technique] Okay Yeah [Chorus: Immortal Technique & Pharoahe Monch] We are renegades, this means war 16s bust to break unjust laws (Heh) Overthrow regimes in the name of the cause (Come on) Renegades, never slaves – this means war One-hundred percent uncut raw Fuck limited freedom (Come on) – nigga, we want more (Yeah) The machine is corrupted, down to the core (Yeah!) Rebel army, motherfucker (Uh), this means war [Verse 1: Pharoahe Monch] I got a middle finger for mass media, mute the news 'Cause "When The Gun Draws" received a million views Which gives me the right to break the rules Say, "fuck radio" if the people can't pick and choose While BET gets screwed by Viacom The new revolutionary is Shyaman It's not brush fire rap, it's five alarm Motivational music after I am gone My inner visions, mysticism, call me Mr. Wisdom They wanna turn the globe into a prison And being sick is better than being dead 'Cause when you sick and in bed, you're indebted to meds Cloned chickens walking around without heads The food is contaminated, the water got lead in it [Pre-Chorus: Pharoahe Monch] Population control, make the babies sick R.F.I.D. chips, RU-486 This is a war against consciousness Controlling your soul, sort of a psychological dictatorship And we are on the front lines Guilty as charged, if intellect is a crime, say – [Chorus: Immortal Technique] We are renegades, this means war 16s bust to break unjust laws Overthrow regimes in the name of the cause Renegades, never slaves, this means war One-hundred percent uncut raw Fuck limited freedom – nigga, we want more The machine is corrupted, down to the core Rebel army, motherfucker, this means war [Verse 2: Pharoahe Monch] "Alhamdulillah" is a spiritual calling My ode to Netta, we all still mourning It's not a documentary about global warming This is lunar explosions of global warning So when the moon bleeds, you can't tell night from morning Cities submerged underwater, post-New Orleans It's not your average rap recording This is insane lieutenants taking aim at Mormons While the American dream remains dead and dormant My stimuli's supplied by my endorphins The mind's eye, greater than pi in broadband I "break on through to the other side" without doormen It's not The Doors, man I am equipped with a better memory chip than dolphins With more keys to open more doors than four foremen To executive's rooms where they walking on all fours, man Canines standing upright amongst you Hated by swine, spreading the H1N1 flu [Pre-Chorus: Pharoahe Monch] On some rabies shit, RU-486 Population control, make the babies sick This is a war against consciousness Controlling your soul, sort of a psychological dictatorship And I am on the front lines Guilty as charged, if intellect is a crime, say – [Chorus: Immortal Technique] We are renegades, this means war 16s bust to break unjust laws Overthrow regimes in the name of the cause Renegades, never slaves, this means war One-hundred percent uncut raw Fuck limited freedom – nigga, we want more The machine is corrupted, down to the core Rebel army, motherfucker, this means war [Guitar solo: Vernon Reid] [Outro: Pharoahe Monch] This means war
