The Martyr-Immortal Technique

[00:05.47]'Elizabeth' Movie intro: [00:05.97]I'm content to die for my beliefs [00:07.40]So cut off my head and make me a Martyr [00:14.20]The people will always remember it [00:17.50]"No. They will forget" [00:22.13] [00:37.93]A man who walks with God, can walk anywhere [00:43.43]Hence.. I fear nothing [00:45.66] [00:46.11]Immortal Technique - Verse 1 [00:46.53]The point of guerilla war, is not to succeed [00:48.61]It's always been just to make the enemy bleed [00:51.38]Deprivin' the soldiers of the peace of mind that they need [00:54.33]Bullets are hard to telegraph when they bob and they weave [00:57.29]The only way a Guerilla War can ever be over [01:00.75]Is when the occupation, can't afford more soldiers [01:03.82]Until they have to draft the last of you into the service [01:06.80]And you refuse cause you don't see the purpose [01:09.01]The only way to counter the insurgents that are well-equipped [01:12.14]Is to paint the people fighting for freedom as terrorists [01:15.10]Then find a faction lookin' for foreign investments [01:18.00]You stall them with power and murder any objections [01:20.97]You can't stop a revolution from breathin' [01:23.81]So to beat 'em they offer people the illusion of freedom [01:26.56]But when you're done dreamin' and wake up, tortured for treason [01:29.58]Then you can see them, hidin' behind the God they believe in [01:32.17] [01:32.65]Immortal Technique - Chorus [01:33.20]Deep in the trenches in the heart of a war [01:35.49]That's the place a Martyr is born （Motha****a it's on） [01:38.14]During the night before the start of the dawn [01:41.33]That's the place a Martyr is born （Motha****a it's on） [01:44.75]When the gunshots are rainin' in the heart of a storm [01:47.37]That's the place a Martyr is born （Motha****a it's on） [01:50.60]Guerilla war when the army is gone [01:52.84]That's the place a Martyr is born （Motha****a it's on） [01:56.11] [01:56.57]Immortal Technique - Verse 2 [01:57.16]The purpose of life is a life with a purpose [01:58.81]So I'd rather die for a cause than live a life that is worthless [02:01.71]I don't need the circus or the day of national observance [02:04.73]I need you to think for you and stop being a servant [02:07.56]Pawns only move a square in the game that they're used in [02:10.65]And realise it too late, like the shootin' of Huey Newton [02:13.59]Or Patrice Lumumba and Salvador Allende [02:16.67]Slaughter by the power hungry branches of their own gente [02:19.58]Ghandi wasn't killed by Pakistani nationals [02:22.45]He was assassinated by a Hindu radical [02:25.41]And Che Guevara, rebel to a U.S. continent [02:28.32]Was sold to the C.I.A. by Bolivian communists [02:31.08]Wasn't Yitzhak Rabin murdered by a Zionist [02:34.23]And Anwar Sadat a victim of the same violence? [02:37.02]Malcolm X was seen as a threat to the F.B.I. [02:40.28]But to blast 'em they used Muslims from the N.O.I. [02:43.40]Even the 35th President of the Republic [02:46.42]Was murdered by factions of his own government [02:49.02]So now that it's proven, that a soldier of Revolution [02:52.12]Or head of an empire, disguised in a Constitution [02:54.43]Can not escape the retribution or manipulation [02:57.34]Of the self-appointed rulers of the planets corporations [03:00.30]So Imma need every generation to put your hands up [03:03.25]Cause you can only get 'em off your back when you stand up! [03:06.14] [03:06.59]Immortal Technique - Chorus [03:07.11]Deep in the trenches in the heart of a war [03:09.47]That's the place a Martyr is born （Motha****a it's on） [03:12.58]During the night before the start of the dawn [03:14.90]That's the place a Martyr is born （Motha****a it's on） [03:18.34]When the gunshots are rainin' in the heart of a storm [03:20.59]That's the place a Martyr is born （Motha****a it's on） [03:24.25]Guerilla war when the army is gone [03:26.43]That's the place a Martyr is born （Motha****a it's on）
