What is so funny about Immortal technique rapping about popular (thug) rappers as opposed to some other rappers that do the same thing.
And I'm referring to good quality rappers that rap about other rappers. (Not necessarily thug rappers)

And yes, i did read the lyrics and I instantly though of that ape of a man 50 cent, Chingy, and that other guy that seems to follow 50 cent like stink on sh*t

THE DIFFERENCE IS I WASN'T LISTENING TO SOME OTHER RAPPER RAP ABOUT THUG RAPPERS AT THE MOMENT THAT I DECIDED TO MAKE THIS THREAD!
HOLY SHIT.

Well there's no need to be rude, now is there?

Calm down twerp. I mean really. It isn't that serious and I was just voicing my opinion which is what you wanted us to do anyway.

You know just move on with the next batch of lyrics. Please.

Does it matter?
Anyway, Immortal technique, nice.

It's nice has every thread requires bickering between Alex and Raine and by nice I mean annoying.

Anyway good choice, good lyrics.

Sage Francis- Makeshift Patriot (released Oct. 11th, 2001)

The city is covered in inches of muck
I see some other pictures of victims are up
Grieving mothers are thinking their children are stuck
Leaping lovers are making decisions to jump
While holding hands ... To escape the brutal heat
Sometimes in groups of three
The fallout was far beyond the toxic couds where people look like debris.
But all they saw, after all was said...
Beyond the talking heads was the bloody dust with legs, looking like the walking dead calling for meds
But all the hospitals are overwhelmed
Volunteers need to go the hell home
Moments of silence for firefighters were interrupted by cell phones
Who's gonna make that call, to increase an unknown death toll?
It's the one we rally behind.
He's got a megaphone, and he's promising to make heads roll.
So we cheer him on, but asbestos is affecting our breath control
The less that we know, the more they fabricate
The easier it is to sell souls
[president talking]
"There is a new price on freedom,
so buy into it while supplies last.
Changes need to be made...
No more curbside baggage, Seven P.M. curfew
Racial profiling will continue with less bitching.
We beautified over who to kill, so until I find more relevant scripture to quote, remember our god is...
Bigger, Stronger, Smarter, and much wealthier
so wave those flags with pride, especially the white part"

We sell an addictive 24 hour candlelight vigils in TV's
Freedom will be defended at the cost of civil liberties
The viewers are glued to television screens,
STUCK ... because lots of things seem too sick
I use opportunities to pluck heart strings for theme music

I'll show you which culture to pump your fist at
"Yeah"
Which foot is right to kiss
We don't really know who the culprit is yet
"Nah"
But he looks like this
We know who the heros are
They're not the xenophobes who act hard
"We taught that dog to squat
How dare he do that **** in our own backyard"

They happened to scar our finnancial state
And char our landscape
Can you count how many times so far I ran back the same damn tape
While the cameraman creates news and shoves it down our throats on the west bank
With a ten second clip put on constant loop to provoke US angst

So get your tanks,
And load your guns,
And hold your sons in a family huddle
'Cause even if we win this tug of war,
And even the score, humanity struggles
There's a desperate need of blood for what's been uncovered under the rubble
Some of them dug for answers in the mess, but the rest were looking for trouble

Makeshift Patriot
The flag shop is out of stock
I hang myself at half-mast

It's the Makeshift, The Patriot
The flag shop is out of stock
I hang myself ... Don't waive your rights with your flags

These lyrics remind me of a poem I rad a while ago.
At any rate, I like the lyrics.

Commentary:
I don't care much for Sage.
This song is ok.

And that's about it

see I wasn't the only one.

Once again, might i suggest you edit your first post and clearly state that no one else is supposed to post lyrics of their choosing, as this thread was intended for only ou to post lyrics.
Which by the way i think sounds like such an egotistical, megalomaniacal thing to do.
You make it seem like, the songs you like are the only ones that count.
And if everyone else were to make their own thread, do you not realize how much needed space that would take up?

This is my thread, for lyrics I like.
