Immortal Technique - The Martyr
['Elizabeth' Movie intro]
I'm content to die for my beliefs
So cut off my head and make me a Martyr
The people will always remember it
"No. They will forget"
A man who walks with God, can walk anywhere
Hence.. I fear nothing
[Immortal Technique - Verse 1]
The point of guerilla war, is not to succeed
It's always been just to make the enemy bleed
Deprivin' the soldiers of the peace of mind that they need
Bullets are hard to telegraph when they bob and they weave
The only way a Guerilla War can ever be over
Is when the occupation, can't afford more soldiers
Until they have to draft the last of you into the service
And you refuse cause you don't see the purpose
The only way to counter the insurgents that are well-equipped
Is to paint the people fighting for freedom as terrorists
Then find a faction lookin' for foreign investments
You stall them with power and murder any objections
You can't stop a revolution from breathin'
So to beat 'em they offer people the illusion of freedom
But when you're done dreamin' and wake up, tortured for treason
Then you can see them, hidin' behind the God they believe in
[Chorus]
Deep in the trenches in the heart of a war
That's the place a Martyr is born (Mothafucka it's on)
During the night before the start of the dawn
That's the place a Martyr is born (Mothafucka it's on)
When the gunshots are rainin' in the heart of a storm
That's the place a Martyr is born (Mothafucka it's on)
Guerilla war when the army is gone
That's the place a Martyr is born (Mothafucka it's on)
[Verse 2]
The purpose of life is a life with a purpose
So I'd rather die for a cause than live a life that is worthless
I don't need the circus or the day of national observance
I need you to think for you and stop being a servant
Pawns only move a square in the game that they're used in
And realise it too late, like the shootin' of Huey Newton
Or Patrice Lumumba and Salvador Allende
Slaughter by the power hungry branches of their own gente
Ghandi wasn't killed by Pakistani nationals
He was assassinated by a Hindu radical
And Che Guevara, rebel to a U.S. continent
Was sold to the C.I.A. by Bolivian communists
Wasn't Yitzhak Rabin murdered by a Zionist
And Anwar Sadat a victim of the same violence?
Malcolm X was seen as a threat to the F.B.I.
But to blast 'em they used Muslims from the N.O.I.
Even the 35th President of the Republic
Was murdered by factions of his own government
So now that it's proven, that a soldier of Revolution
Or head of an empire, disguised in a Constitution
Can not escape the retribution or manipulation
Of the self-appointed rulers of the planets corporations
So Imma need every generation to put your hands up
Cause you can only get 'em off your back when you stand up!
[Chorus]
Deep in the trenches in the heart of a war
That's the place a Martyr is born (Mothafucka it's on)
During the night before the start of the dawn
That's the place a Martyr is born (Mothafucka it's on)
When the gunshots are rainin' in the heart of a storm
That's the place a Martyr is born (Mothafucka it's on)
Guerilla war when the army is gone
That's the place a Martyr is born (Mothafucka it's on)

"The purpose of life is a life with a purpose, so I'd rather die for a cause than live a life that is worthless." Best damn line ever.
It's a damn shame that people don't know about Artist/Activist like Immortal Technique, which in my opinion, is within the top 3 true Hip/Hop artist of all time. His music is outstanding, his lyrics teach to does who want to learn.
"The purpose of life is a life with a purpose So I'd rather die for a cause than live a life that is worthless" this what main stream rappers can't do. LONG LIVE IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE
Immortal Technique is one of the greatest rappers out there. I don't even agree with everything he says but the man has a way with words and is very talented.
i have this demonic depression... not about friends or money or any new age kid shit... deep depression... So out of nowhere i hear in my head '' The man that walks with God can walk anywhere''.... That brought me here! PEACE BE ON YOU IMMORTAL TECH. GOD SEEN YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

An empire disguised as a constitution. He put into words what ive been thinking lately. Power of hip hop.
I love Immortal Technique, no one out there is as real or down to earth as he is! Viva la Revolución!
Holy shit! TECH IS BACK!!!!!!!!!
The only way to counter the insurgents that are well-equipped Is to paint the people fighting for freedom as terrorists - Kind regards, Syria, Palestine, Uighur, Yemen, Rohingya
style evolving continuously no sign of sleeping on old laurels
I just love the beginning and end of this song!!! the middle is awesome too! like omg!!!
@demonkiller281 This is a free album. I put the downloadlink in the description. Over 200000 people have already downloaded The Martyr. Let's get it to 1 million!

yeah few days back he decided to take a break from music and focus on his studies, but he said he may come back to the music when hes done with studies..personally i think he will come back stronger than ever with even more knowledge on his shoulders...but he also stated he doesnt like how the music business was changing his ego,, this guys is too real, thats why i admire the shit out of him,, true artist that speaks for the people..great man, i continue to share his music everyday i can.
He speaks the truth.

Beast 1333 too bro - mouth of madness being his first major release. Wow. Him and Tech are on a diffrerent plateau from everyone else
I'm going to his concert in San Diego on November 19th and only for 23 bucks. So stoked!!! Viva la revolucion!!
Thank you
Notice in the start of the song the man who speaks says he's willing to die for his beliefs, and that people will remember him for that, and the other man says " no they'll forget " that's a very important message. People don't appreciate the very important people after they're gone.
Love that he released stuff like this free too
@BannTheHacker cheers for the link brother been waiting to get this since its been out
bout time he came back
Immortal Technique's music truly shows how much people are prone to believing in everything they hear. We're a spoon fed generation that needs to step up and LEARN. Not judge. LEARN. Not everything is as you see it, at times exaggerations can become lies.
2023 still going haard on this banger 🔥
Wow =) beautifully created
amazing song!
Great Mixtape!
Denial =/= problem solving! Thank you!
In the lyrics, I think it's "install them in power and murder any objections."
Thank whatever's up there that people like you exist.
I love this song.This songs a blessing!!
Exactly... We are all born, living and dying on this planet together as a single species. The Human species, stuck on this rock that we trash, and take it for granted... People don't understand how pure and perfect it has to be to survive and thrive on a planet in such a vast universe. We are all humans beings, But it somehow seems only a handful of people feel that way into today's way of life.
the image is the BEST, but so is Immortal Technique himself
The world would be a better place if everybody just listened to Immortal Technique.
He's not. Dead...met him after a show last week in nyc....amazing show
This dude and K Rino(don't sleep on this cat) are at the top of my list as great talented rappers.
I was a man blessed by God to survive some of the worst circumstances I had many things; a beautiful woman I loved, a home, money And I gave it all up to bleed and to die free Sometimes I look back on that life and I wonder what it would've been like And in moments of weakness I think about trading it Then I snap the fuck out of it and I get back to my reality And I realize that I'm in the heart of a war And that's the place a martyr is born!
I read your name with a thick Scottish accent. Made me happy.
When the gunshots are raining in the heart of a storm...
Immortal Technique and Lowkey are like history teachers, I never knew who people like Salvador Allende, Huey Newton, or Patrice Lumumba were until I listened to this song and Lowkey's "Terrorist". Much respect to these two guys!
Love the new album, couldnt hold off much longer
one of my favorite of the album.
awesome
goin to see him in aus, bring the heat tech !!
gives me chills
You know when your headphones vibrate from the guy speaking in the intro, that my room is probably going to bounce.
Do your research before you get on here talkin like you learned something valuable at school, tech speaks the truth once again
''The purpose of life is a life with a purpose, so I'd rather die for a cause then live a life that is worthless'' Damn!
Awesome
yet another amazing song. :3. IT!
underground music for life
Many of my favorite musicians have sold out and gone soft over the years ... good to see Immortal Technique isn't one of them :)
A history lesson in four minutes and thirty two seconds.
God bless you
God bless, Muammar Gaddafi, Che Guerra, and all the other martyrs who died for the good of their people. They made the world better while they were here. Theres a long list of future martyrs, god bless them ahead of time.
Immortal Technique is a legend.
"look at all the lonely ppl"; intro reminds me of that song, especially when the violins come in (the beatles)...
