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 throw a federal indictment on niggaz to show you love
This shit is run by fake Christians, fake politicians
Look at they mansions, then look at the conditions you live in
All they talk about is terrorism on television
They tell you to listen, but they don't really tell you they mission
They 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 they funded his purpose
Fahrenheit 9/11, that's just scratchin' the surfaceComment

They say the rebels in Iraq still fight for Saddam
But that's bullshit, I'll show you why it's totally wrong
Cuz 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 shit, after Ronald Reagan's election
Mercenary contractors fightin' a new era
Corporate military bankin' off the war on terror
They controllin' the ghetto, with the failed attack
Tryna distract the fact that they engineerin' the crack
So I'm strapped like Lee Malvo holdin' a sniper rifle
These bullets'll touch your kids, and I don't mean like Michael
Your body be sent to the morgue, stripped down and recycled
I fire on house niggaz that support you and like you
Cuz innocent people get murdered in the struggle daily
And poor people never get shit and struggle daily
This ain't no alien conspiracy theory, this shit is real
Written on the dollar underneath the Masonic sealComment

I can't fucking stand rap, but I still like Mos Def, at least he's trying to say something with his shit. I love how many dumb old fucking yanks sit around pawning all this off as conspiracy mumbo jumbo. It's not like the guy is saying that the CIA blew up the towers in a controlled demolition. he's saying EXACTLY what is fucking happening. Anyone who passed this off as illiterate conspiracy rambling is completely ignorant to anything happening in their world outside what the squawk box is telling them.Comment

They can point at all the facts they want, whether you're a conspiracy nut or believe Osama Bin Laden did it, when it comes down to it there really isn't enough "TRUE FACTS" to base an assumption one way or the other. It's all a matter of they said this or they said that.
There is always going to be lines drawn and sides taken, regardless of what the truth is and there is no shortage of people with a dissatisfaction for the current administration that no matter WHAT happens, they will always look for something evil to pin on the government or instantly cling to something that sheds a cloud of doubt on the powers that be.
This whole debate has nothing to do with the "Truth", it's all about wanting to point a finger and saying, "See... It's their fault, They are Evil, They are whats wrong with the world today!" Just like a spoiled teenager who despises not the parent themselves but what they represent.
If you say you know the truth because you saw it on a website, or on a for-hire news media channel or read it somewhere then maybe searching for a truth that cant be found isn't the answer. Maybe there might be a more productive way to voice your dissatisfaction with the government.
They started it right in the sixties but somewhere along the line we just gave up and decided to simply point fingers from our couch or computer chair...

I totally dissagree. This is happening because its redundant we're ALL (not just Americans) getting fucked in the ass and acting like we dont mind. And this video wont make a goddamn difference in the end, but Im glad that some "artists" have the balls to say it.Comment

Yes... but I have a feeling my post didn't really sink in or you skimmed it...
I didn't say they were right OR wrong. My statement to sum it up for those who need it spelled out clearer is this:
In this day and age getting the truth or the straight story is next to impossible. There have ALWAYS been people who believe they are right no matter what. One persons credible source is not the same for another. If all things being the same and both parties of the equation represent truth, How can you get the true answer? You can't. Look at how long the debate on the JFK assasination has been going on...
I mean, a vast majority of people believe in God simply based on faith and what someone told them, whether it's from a preacher or read straight from the bible. Does that mean he exists? No one can give definitive proof if he does or doesn't but that will never stop people from believing what they want regardless of the reachability of fact based on truth.
The only truth that will ever come out of this whole debate is that people will always believe what they want to believe.
Do you know the truth or just believe it based on faith in what you have been shown?
Who decides where credible truth comes from? And how is it shaping our world?Comment

You should just watch the video. It just talks abot things that we all know happened, there's actually nothing new in the video, no sources or anything like that. Just facts spit at your face.Yes... but I have a feeling my post didn't really sink in or you skimmed it...

Well that explains your complete lack of reason, and unquestioning order-following mentality then. Enjoy being a fucking cripple douchebag. I hope it was worth it. I hope you still have one good arm to wave your flag with. Can you still get your dick up? Say it is so! Amerikkka needs more good mindmelted soldiers like you to fall in line and make it's leaders some more money. So you better get out there and breed the next generation of shooting dummies, so your leaders can continue to bank your blood. It's a real shame you made it out alive...
FUCK AMERIKKA!

Why don't you go ahead and try to discredit some of the statements in this video. Except for the chorus "Bush knocked down the towers" try to point to any of the statements said in that song and discredit them. Try doing that instead of posting "pigshit" every time you see something you disagree with.Comment

You are right... There is alot of real truth to most of the things they are rapping about, as a matter of fact I like what they are saying. We DO need to step up and point out all the fucked up shit that goes on in our society. Make people see whats happening...
BUT...
I think it is irresponsible of them to make the chorus of "Bush Knocked Down The Towers", which is repeated over and over, like it is a fact based on their other observations in the song.
These guys are icons in a generation of kids who have forgotten to think for themselves. They are so blinded by the haze of a "ME" generation that they will literally believe anything they are told because they heard it from a celebrity.
I see it as just another abuse of power, not unlike the abuse of power they are rapping about. If they had left out the chorus this would be a completely different debate.
As celebrities in a celebrity driven generation I think they should be more responsible in how they deliver their message.

Mos Def does not fit into that category. Without commenting on his specific works, I can say that I feel he's a very intelligent man.
Powerful song, imho. Hopefully it inspires reasonable discussion, greater understanding, and a desire to change what's wrong with the system from within the system more than it inspires knee-jerk regression into ignorance, hate, and violence.-D.

I think you're taking it all wrong. I don't think they are in any way trying to state that Bush had anything to do with knocking down the towers. Why would they go out of their way to discredit all the legitimate statements they make with one crazy one? It's just a statement to grab the listeners attention. They're using it the same way a good headline pulls a reader into reading an article. By screaming out "Bush Knocked Down The Towers" over and over, they are bringing people who may not have cared to listen to their message into listening to it. Which I think is a good thing, because they made plenty of legitimate points throughout the song. Especially the point where they discuss what would you do if some group invaded and occupied your neighborhood?
Like I said early, I'm not a big rap fan, but I can respect what Mos does, because as you have said, he comes across as a very intelligent man with the message and words he sends out. You've gotta give a man props for doing what he does. Especially when he gone on to be not only successful in music, but also movies. A lot of rappers have tried to make the transition, but Mos does it well.Comment
