#### Intro (Mos Def)
Man, you hear this bullshit they be talkin'
Every day, man
It's like these motherfuckers is just like professional liars
You know what I'm sayin'? It's wild
Listen

#### Chorus (Mos Def & Jadakiss)
Bin Laden didn't blow up the projects
It was you, nigga
Tell the truth, nigga
Bush knocked down the towers
Tell the truth, nigga
Bush knocked down the towers
Tell the truth, nigga
Bin Laden didn't blow up the projects
It was you, nigga
Tell the truth, nigga
Bush knocked down the towers
Tell the truth, nigga
Bush knocked down the towers

#### Verse 1 (Immortal Technique)
I pledge no allegiance, nigga, fuck the President's speeches
I'm baptized by America and covered in leeches
The dirty water that bleaches your soul and your facial features
Drownin' you in propaganda that they spit through the speakers
And if you speak about the evil that the government does
The Patriot Act'll track you to the type of your blood
They try to frame you, and say you was tryna sell drugs
And send you to prison to get raped in the cell blocks
The government is like an insane asylum running the world
America has more weapons than Hitler and the Nazis combined
Bush funded al-Qaeda, and now they blame the Muslim religion
Even though Bin Laden was a CIA tactician
They gave him billions of dollars, and funded his purpose
Fahrenheit 9/11—that's just scratchin' the surface

#### Verse 2 (Immortal Technique)
They say the rebels in Iraq still fight for Saddam
But that's bullshit, I'll show you why it's totally wrong
'Cause if another country invaded the hood tonight
It'd be warfare through Harlem and Washington Heights
I wouldn't be fightin' for Bush or White America's dream
I'd be fightin' for my people's survival and self-esteem
I wouldn't fight for racist churches from the South, my nigga
I'd be fightin' to keep the occupation out, my nigga
You ever clock someone who talk shit or look at you wrong?
Imagine if they shot at you and was rapin' your moms
And of course Saddam Hussein had chemical weapons
We sold him that gas, so now we bomb innocent peasants
The 8-ball of coke you used to serve to them kids
The same one you got locked up for was sent out by the CIA
And the crack that you copped from the crew on the corner
Was the same one that they shipped into the hood to start the war on

#### Outro (Eminem sample, in some versions)
Shady Records was 80 seconds away from the towers
Some cowards fucked with the wrong building, they meant to hit ours

This track was controversial upon release for its direct accusations against the U.S. government and Bush administration. A remix version later added features from Chuck D and KRS-One. If you're looking for the audio, it's available on platforms like Spotify or YouTube under "Immortal Technique - Bin Laden."
