Give me your tired, your poor
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free
[Flavor Flav]
ICEBREAKER!
[Verse 1: Chuck D]
I know a silent nation in dislocation
Frustration from legislation
Led to demographic in isolation
Another participation in decapitation
10-4 die river deep, mountain high
Is a wall stuck between dying and doing time
Can't ignore it, smack dab border war
As the beat goes on, words flowed on
I caught the law
Pyramids, Machu Picchu
Things they don't teach you
Dont apologize
You were here first on this earth
Before these millennial cowboys claimed their turf
Now who's 1000 miles and ran
Deserted in the desert
Wild wild west hurt to the dirt
Anti immigration
Against brown skin
Sounds like brown shirts
Silenced by so called legal violence
Somebody had permission
To put humans in this condition
This land is whose land??
They must've forgot
Kicking the black in the ass
While keeping the brown out
This one sided law makes me scream and shout
I.C.E. is what I'm talking about
[Verse 2: True Mathematics]
I.C.E
Sgt Hawke, and I'm found where the cops be
I get on illegals like I'm a paparazzi
I bring flash, but it ain't a camera
Gunfire shells hot enough to damage ya
No trafficking, no drug smugglin'
I.C.E., we came in thuggin'
Straight off the wire like Snoop and Chris
You can Rush like Limbaugh we get at you quick
[Verse 3: Sekreto(Translated in English)]
What will they do when they find out about this
Come for me, for what I represent
This is my accent and I'm proud of it
We're bunches and cannot be stopped
Absurd laws with racist intentions
Benefit only to these classifiers
They insist, I insist - so here we go
Broken chains, jumping borders
Thrive or die, we're no longer satisfied
Its time for power to change hands
More righteous humans, is more human rights
They say, they owners, but we were here first
The world is free and without fear we broadcast
Multi-color race, is how we're painted
I have a dream and that dream has become my desire
Power to my peoples, not power to the governments
[Kyle “Ice” Jason]
My, my, my, oohwee
You should know how the story go...
They was here first, you put it in reverse
You didn’t even call for a hearse when you...
Left them... dying... [?]
[Verse 4: Chuck D]
Car radios, highway hoes
Motorbike types
Skateboard whores, watch them close them doors
Clap them hands and stomp them feet
Yeah, the more government wars
Good man, bad government
Great driver, wack car
I seen it before
Marxism dual citizens
China support
Meaning y’all go get a passport
Slavery is america's past sport
Homeland security
Against my homeboys securing me
Chained brains diaspora
Comin after
The same idea of the united states of Africa
Bering strait
Before palin and paleface
Waiting for the ice to break
70% of americans ain't been no place
So the human race gets displaced
While the greedy man
Sees the land
His plan
Seize the land
To feed his face
A child lost in the wild
Picked your food
Built your house
While still on exile
Barbed wire cactus the new middle passage
To a person
The new whirl odors just rehearsing
Whaaaaaaaat?
I’ma put the line in the sand... huh! Cross that line
I’ma put the line in the sand... huh! Cross that line
Cause I’ma put the man in the sand... huh! Cross that man
Cause I’ma put the man in the sand... huh! Cross that man
Cause I’ma put the gun in his hand... huh! Cross that man
Cause I’ma put the gun in his hand... huh! Cross that man
I’ma put the fence in the sand... huh! Climb that fence
I’ma put the fence in the sand... huh! Climb that fence
Damn
[Verse 5: Marcus J]
By the time I get to the end of my verse
Calisthenics of the tongue exercising the first
That's freedom of speech so I speak my right
Seems to me there’ll always be powers to fight
So Chuck let them know that the Bulls break ice
With the power of these words that we put within a mic
Like those in the past put power to pen
It was number 13 made us all equal men
Now Arizona back to legislate the hate
Guess freedom ain't free on this side of the gate
But everything changes if I look a certain way
Securing the homeland from how it was made
Now the ice that we skate upon is definitely thin
We got to break bad to let the good begin
A cold flag pole grabbed a hold of my tongue
5-0 froze and we all got dumb
[Kyle Jason]
I’m gonna be keep on doing the thing that’s supposed to be done, put it on the poor thing doing the one, get back, yeah, baby, yeah[?]
Icebreaker...
Icebreaker!
(Owwwwww!)
[Verse 6: Tiradiation]
One man's terrorist, another's freedom fighter
Future tech, molotov, cocktails with a lighter
Legalized gang shit, federal B.I
You wanna buy a weapon, they won't hesitate a second
Whether African, Mexican, Middle East or Haitian
Slaughter indigenous, plunder the nation
Petition the U.N. to gain legal traction
Then call you the enemy to justify the action
The brown in this world will only draw ire
Of the secret society soul sucking vampires
Either I come from a long line of liars
Or a degenerate senator's pants are on fire
Surround you with the walls to protect your freedom
Overlapping laws to ensure confusion
Protect your neck in the 2012 season
Then bounce a check in the bank of illusion
[Verse 7: Professor Griff]
Home grown terrorist, for the benefit
Can't find a title or the name yeah that really fits
These land jackers, pale face land grabbers
Caught in a border war, stench of the border whores
Real demons, feindin' for a real reason
You can't truss 'em cause they always fuckin' schemin'
Broke treaties with the red man, damn!
Klan disguised as a fam, fuck uncle sam
Pause for the cause, and open mental doors
These foreign invaders, and human traffic traders
Undocumented worker, they want it back
Panic when the brown man link with the pro black
Now who's the real citizen, you never been
You raped and robbed every people yeah, that let you in
The legalized theft of the native land
You speak with the forked tongue, with the rum and the gun in hand
[Hook]
The I.C.E
(Flavor Flav:) I.C.E.!
Who gets deported and who goes free?
Who gets detained and who remains?
Who gets the card and who gets the blame?
The I.C.E
(Flavor Flav:) I.C.E.!
Who gets deported and who goes free?
Who gets detained and who remains?
Who gets the card and who gets the blame?
The I.C.E
At least 55 million immigrants... 1/5th of the population are either immigrants or children of immigrants
(Flavor Flav:) ICEBREAKER!
The I.C.E
We found that missing changes in the immigration laws... and regional enforcement by the federal government...
Are unfairly targeting thousands... families are being broken up
I believe that the congressman or the senator... somebody out there is going to step up and say yeah this is wrong...
