Immortal Technique Never Know Why Lyrics

[Hook]
Old fashioned people they never know why (2X)
Old fashioned

[Bridge: Deacon]
Most don't even know why they believe what they
believe, man
Never taking a second to look at life
Bad water in our seeds, y'all, still growing weeds,
dawg
In the dark, walls blocking all that light
Most don't even know why they believe what they
believe, man
Never taking a second to look at life
Bad water in our seeds, y'all, still growing weeds,
dawg
In the dark

[Verse 2: Immortal Technique]
Looking at life in retrospect it's hard to regret
Stuck in your ways cause hatred is hard to forget
Niggaz talk all religious trying to barter with death
Parts of the flesh wrinkle up while you start to
reflect
And even though nobodies life is ever perfect
You start to wonder if all the pain was really worth is
Pondering the purpose of living, the curse that was given
Dreaming about freedom and escaping the prison
People who pimp children are really raping religion
The matrix is fiction placed in a vision
But now the technology follows me solemnly
Building the future laws to my philosophy
Alzheimers cutting through like a lobotomy
Not even the golden arthritis of king Midas
Could buy comfort and peace for the righteous
I survived disease and political crisis
By backstabbing gnomes that are now lifeless
And now i live vicariously through my kids
Like people who love the sport, but can't play for shit
Fighting glaucoma, front the cops taking a hit
I slip into a coma, roaming over the planet
Leaving the gold and the granite, the old and the
famished
But just before I vanish 'cause I think I'm at the end
The sun becomes the light of my birth and I live again

[Hook]
