The Martyr - Immortal Technique.mp3

[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)
