Joshua Malone don't forget a good beat to the song

It’s difficult to find any music nowadays that has even a fraction of the meaning that this song holds. Immortal Technique is truly a lyrical genius

My brother Immortal Technique, you can't imagine, how much i love your music. In some very dark moments, left alone in the dark with my demons in the past, before i killed 'em all, you helped me with your music, to get the Power to get on my feet back again. May God The Almighty bless you for that. 🙏❤☝

Some of you won't survive the changes that the earth makes, swallowed by tsunamis hurricanes and earthquakes; and that's just the first stage if we cannot reverse ways and realize WE ARE ONE regardless of our birthplace. --Immortaltechnique

this man comes out with the deepest words "we are one regardless of our birthplace"

The line "I'll never let an idea die with a man," should be "I'll never let an Eyedea die with a man," as an obvious reference to Eyedea who Tech battled in 2000. Eyedea died in early 2010.

If anyone is wondering the beat is Vangelis-Alpha.

Realize that we are one regardless of our birthplace! How hard is it to understand such a simple concept...

Thanks Tec... this is motivational. Remember folks, you got good in you, because you were born of the same stuff god is made of, we all were. To the micro-organisms that live in us, we may be like gods, just like to the universal consciousness or god we are mere specks of micro-life in one. Still, while miniscule, we too serve a purpose, just like the micro-organisms in us do. Remember that.

Tech is the greatest of this generation, simple as that, and thats ahead of a lot of other sick MC's, no other mixes the beats, bars, politics so well and so consistently
