Watchout Lyrics

[Intro: Immortal Technique]

[Chorus]
Watch out who you fuckin' with, watch out who you fuckin' with
Watch out, nigga, watch out, watch out who you fuckin' with
Watch out who you fuckin' with, watch out who you fuckin' with
Watch out, nigga, nigga, watch out who you fuckin' with

[Verse]
Yeah, 100 percent independent, I'm the fuckin' boss
I sold eighty thousands of a quotable in The Source
The hood is not stupid, we know the mathematics
I made double what I would going gold on Atlantic
Cause EMI, Sony BMG, Interscope
Would never sign a rapper with the White House in his scope
They push pop music like a religion
Anorexic celebrity driven financial fantasy fiction
Contradiction cause the life we was given resembles life in prison
Fed time with Manuel Noriega
The real Noriega, who did America 100 favors
With Contras, the Shah and the CIA
Movin Escobar's coke through the M-I-A
This is +The 3rd World+ speakin, through a dead man walkin
And everybody talkin 'bout the South takin over
It's true motherfucker, but it's comin over the border
Fuck your chain, my people'll kill you for water
Fuck fans nigga, I got soldier supporters
That'll cut your throat if you strapped with a tape recorder
That's right motherfucker, welcome to the New World Order
Where the truth is always censored by corporate reporters
The government, runs the drug politics on the corner
That's why I never stress rappers and their employers
I put a bag over his fuckin head and torture your lawyer
Cause it's too simple to shoot ya - I'll taser the roof of
Your mouth and electrocute ya, I'll root you out with the Ruger
The German Luger, U-boat, and the troops in the scuba
Nigga you can't overthrow me like the island of Cuba!
Niggas'll never find your body, like the bitch in Aruba
And I maneuver through the state department and their friends
With secret deals like the Nazis and IBM
And now you know this ain't a trend or a fashion
This is my life and my passion, fuck tryin' to cash in, nigga!
I need more than advancements and a rented mansion
So while you little house niggas is singin and dancin
I'll kill you and take your land like an Israeli expansion
[Outro]
Haha, motherfucker
Yeah, nigga
Immortal Technique, nigga
Watch out who you fuckin' with, watch out who you fuckin' with
Watch out, nigga, nigga, watch out who you fuckin' with
The Middle Passage, comin' soon
