  • Immortal Technique - Mistakes

  • It's hard to breath and hard to run when your lungs black and
  • Coughing up blood like, what the fuck happened?
  • Raising my wrist to cancer's the answer homie,
  • But after drinking something it's nothing like puffin a bogie
  • Now I could blame the same product placements in movies,
  • All the commercials, or scarface in a jacuzzi
  • But now I'm living it, damn I shoulda never took that first cigarette

  • I fucked up, like your girl was riding on top of me,
  • I shoulda took her to trial, and never copped a plea,
  • But this ain't a Christian nation, motherfucker please
  • America never taught me to turn the other cheek
  • Cause I'm from Harlem, the north of Manhattan,
  • We knock niggas out, and make 'em bounce like Ricky Hatton,
  • But wildin' on the corner got me turned back from the Canadian border

  • I knew she was a virgin when I first met her,
  • Rockin stocking, popping out of the catholic school sweater,
  • Mom told me she could do better than a criminal
  • Seventeen year old psychotic trying to be lyrical
  • I never meant to break her heart or fuck up her life,
  • But I was careless instead of treating her right
  • I seen her again at some club, stripping,
  • And wondered if I could have made her life different

  • I joined the army looking for money to go to college
  • But they didn't pay me a quarter of what they fucking promised
  • Extended my tour, treated me like a sucker
  • That's the reason offices get fragged, motherfucker
  • Don't give me speeches on how you respect and you love me,
  • But no body armor in a lightly armored Humvee?
  • My family's lonely, and you want me to re-enlist for thirty grand homie?

  • When I was young I got signed to a record label,
  • The deal looked so good when it was on the table
  • It paid for my cable, cribs, cars and jewelry, the studios, the women,
  • There's nothing they wouldn't do for me,
  • Except stop screwing me for publishing the royalties
  • How the fuck are you my dog when there's no loyalty
  • Word to the street, I shoulda gone independent like Immortal Technique

  • Some people learn from mistakes and don't repeat them,
  • Others try to block the memories and just delete them
  • But I keep them as a reminder they not killing me,
  • And I thank God for teaching me humility
  • Son remember when you fight to be free,
  • To see things how they are, and not how you like 'em to be
  • Cause even when the world is falling on top of me,
  • Pessimism is an emotion, not a philosophy
  • Knowing what's wrong, doesn't imply that you right,
  • And it's another when you suffer to apply it in life,
  • But I'm no rookie, and I'm never gonna make the same mistake twice, pussy
