I was a kid when I firsr heard this..now im a dad and still listening. I met Tech and got a photo with him bout 10 years ago at an underground concert maybe 200 ppl, after performing this song which was the last of the night he said "People always ask me if this is a true story, and I always tell them, it happens every day of every week of every month of every year".
Son is at the cross roads now. His step father was very connected in his early 20s and spend the following 6 years paying for it. He literally sat my son down and had a LONG talk abiut that life, and made him listen to this song. So that he would see it wasn't just his step father and I saying how twisted the streets are.
It’s not fun having guns pointed at you, or having people make up rumors about you. People trying to rob you or act like brothers when they’re just trying to finesse you.. I hope your son’s okay.

My friend suggested I listen to this. Holy shit. This was one of the most meaningful, emotional songs I have ever heard in my entire life. The message is so powerful. I legit started crying near the end of the song.
This song saved me from losing my soul to gangs and the thoughts in my head were gruesome. I have no friends or family and I’ve been trying to find people I could fit in with and ride with but hearin this broke me and stopped me from following through because after awhile you lose yourself trying to find brothers in demons and once you surround yourself with those demons they take hold of you and influence your every thought, movement and intent. This song helped me realize and open my own eyes inward to the path I was dancing along. I’m homeless bouncing from west and south side chicago and Gary and I’m trying to make family with people who’d rather had you a 9 to solve your problems instead of talking to you to
I feel this. I'm in a similar space mentally but just remember the highs wouldn't be there if we didn't have the lows. I'm trying hard to hold onto hope and your comment gives me strength. I'm not alone and neither are you. Stay strong.
Aye FolKKs. They say if you can make it in Chicago you can make it anywhere. I hope you're still out there doing you. In the long run no one matters more than family, not family on the streets but your real family. The people who know what you're mom's n dad called you as a shorty. The people who were there when the lights got shut off and they came through with dinner and some paper on the bill.. Your real fucking family. Keep hustling and keep grinding brother. The Devil ain't real but the evil That men do is...
I can't believe that I blasted this shit when I was a kid and adults I know now could never open their mind enough to understand every point of view in any of his songs. This man should win awards in every division of literary, musical and artistic appreciation.
I never let my dad hear this song. It's something he doesn't need to hear. Hell my best friend of a decade still remembers when I'd barely met him and asked him if he wanted to hear something fucked up. I played this and we've been best friends ever since. This song is incredible, though it is horrendously dark.
Top 10 stories ever told in any music genre. It's not the ending, it's that you can imagine all of it even if you're not connected to that life. It plays out like a movie trailer in your mind.
Brought me to tears. Heard this when I was like 11 many many years ago and not sure why but the piano beat was stuck in my head when I woke up. Now an adult and father hearing the lyrics brings tears to my eyes.
This song is hard too listen too but I feel every kid should listen too this, the message is unlike anything. Best of luck to anyone dealing with hardship, you all matter ❤️
I teach in alternative schools, and I play it on the low for my students. Makes them think every time! God bless Immortal Technique!! ❤ God will send a lamb behind the door to testify later.
Ive been listening to this sone since i was 6 because of my older brother he introduced me to ur music and ur music is still good. I’ve been listening to ur music for 10 years @Immortal Technique
I'm a death metal guy, but when I came across this album in an underground store in São Paulo, I completely fell in love (I bought it thinking it was a grindcore album), of all the songs, this was the one that caught my attention the most because of the duration and the somewhat scary beat. Well, as I didn't know much English at the time, I never really knew the meaning of the song...but now...well, this is WAY scarier than some death metal songs
Just discovered Immortal Technique, this is maybe the 3d or 4th track I've listened to, and was dancin' and grovin' to the beats and about half way through, the lyrics started taking over and I was riveted, just standing and then I was crying and then I was sobbing. Intense, incredible narrative and music making. Using the theme from Love Story (1969 1970?) was genius. I'm a white male 61 years old.
This is one of the best, if not the best rap track ever written. The lyricism and storytelling are literally epic in the classical sense. The story is timeless and the lyrics are unforgettable.
Still moves me, all of IT's work. I'm a 40yo white guy who lives in the country. Music is universal, open minds are essential, and Immortal Technique is forever.
I’m ashamed to say this is the first time I hear this and I’m 43 years old and I pride myself in knowing about lyrical rappers. But even though I heard of Immortal Technique a lot over the years I never checked him out. This song is fire today in 2022. I can’t even imagine hearing this 1015 years ago. Much respect.
I just listened to this song, and I can say with FULL-HEARTED confidence that this is a lesson I would never have forgotten. Seriously, I DID NOT expect the twist with his mother. I genuinely had my jaw on the floor like a cartoon character, it’s just THAT crazy…
This song is more real than most story raps. I agree with your final message when you performed this last year in Chicago. This is why it starts with the parents, we need to give kids the life we were denied, or this is doomed to just keep happening. It literally is just like a snake eating its own tail.
I come back to this song once in a while,this is the only song that actually made me unsettled. And we all know that one line in the song that gives insane chills.
Excuse me using my partners account. Still listing to this song over 10 years later... this song introduced me to IMORTAL TECHNIQUE and his music. Realist rapper out. Respect!!!!
This and many other songs got me into Hip Hop, and honestly helped me realize how much i wanted to make music. This song is devastating and i listen to it from time to time to remind me that the choices we make mold us for the rest of our lives and i everyday hope and wish that no one has to relive a situation like this one... Thank you for all of your music Immoral Technique, you are a true inspiration and a true genius.
This song still reminds to keep myself in check. Probably for the rest of my life. It really speaks to me because I've been surrounded by evil before and it's not fun and one bad decision can lead to a lifetime if unhappiness.
This song has stayed with me and still gives me the same chills as when I first heard it. I can’t help but twist my face in disgust at the ending. Every. Single. Time. Even though I know the ending it’s still makes me tense up.
This was the track that opened my world to true underground hip hop this track... and I found Army Of The Pharaohs first album with tracks like Gorillas, All Shall Perish and another joint i had em all burned on a CD and i was hooked after that especially Diabolics verse on the Hidden Track after this song on the album that shit was bananas!
I’m late here. just discovered this song in the past few months. Gotta be one of the greatest and most powerful songs of all time. in rap, but just in general. You have to be deeply human to understand this song. It’s like a horror movie. It’s too real for most people. It’s so powerful, uncomfortable. Human… all too human. One of the greatest songs ever!!
Women are a valuable resource that offer support and love within families/communities, as its betrayed his Father was never in the picture. The rape of the mother serves as more of a cautionary tale that if we resort to crime and violence it will backfire and do us harm.
I heard this back when I was completely immature and doing graffiti. Unc Futura 2000 played it the first time I heard it! I couldn’t understand the message outside of the shock factor, but I’m now a 33 year old man and I now see the message. Be blessed during your green years if you’re getting this in your innocent time. Grow your experience I pray.
I had never heard this song, Respect for this artist who dared, in the name of peace, to give himself up to the depths of his soul marked with a hot iron. I have rarely been so shocked by a song...
Remember listening to this song at the lowest point of my life ,most of my friends moving away since they were enlisted to the army n I was left behind 😊
Remember the first time I heard this song. Some guys at work were talking about it and told me to listen so I promptly put in an earbud and kept cleaning the grill. When the twist came I literally dropped my sponge and had to stop and process it. Guys had a good laugh at me but I came back the next day and thanked them for introducing me to IT lol
One of my students recommended this talented artist to me. I saw him years ago at the BellyUp in Solana Beach California. Immortal Technique is the REAL DEAL! 💯
Remember listening to this song with my sister when I was 13 it affected me immensely then and does just as much now, always gives me chills but it’s such a gut wrenching reality…
Still gives me the chills every single time I listen to this track. Been like 14 years now but this track still hits hard. Moral of the story: If the devil wants to dance with you, you better say never because a dance with the devil might last you forever!!!
At the point of hearing this, I left gang life, injecting heroin, and found God, but this song made me quit smoking, weed, and everything else, and truly made me feel for everyone I'd ever hurt.
Weed is only bad depending on how you use it and what you use it for. If you use it on a spiritual level to connect with the world and life then there's no real problem. It's those who abuse it just to get high who have a problem
i remember when this dropped, from immortal this was a game changer. Really tells you a story, shit hit a lot of people. Great story telling/Rapping a story, miss my homies man
The truest Golden Age of Hip-hop.

When I was a kid my parents were addicted to drugs. Listening to this song with my dad 6:00 am on our way to bail my mom out of jail is a completely different feeling. This song has been in my life since I was just 3 years old. It’s deep.

Wait. Why?

Same I’m a metal head then I heard this song then I search up the meaning I was like “WOAHHH this is worse than the meaning of 515 by slipknot…”
"But only the Devil responded, 'cause God wasn't there..."
Jesus, that line is honestly so cold.
That was my favourite line too.

every time i see this song in my playlist i get shivers bro its haunting me now for 4 years😭 its okay tho bc its good
Remember the first time I heard this song. Some guys at work were talking about it and told me to listen so I promptly put in an earbud and kept cleaning the grill. When the twist came I literally dropped my sponge and had to stop and process it. Guys had a good laugh at me but I came back the next day and thanked them for introducing me to IT lol
In my opinion: this one of best hip hop songs ever made in human history.
One of my students recommended this talented artist to me. I saw him years ago at the BellyUp in Solana Beach California. Immortal Technique is the REAL DEAL! 💯
Remember listening to this song with my sister when I was 13 it affected me immensely then and does just as much now, always gives me chills but it’s such a gut wrenching reality…
This song gives me chills.
Immortal technique will always be my favorite rapper every song is just so well put together and deep
Still gives me the chills every single time I listen to this track. Been like 14 years now but this track still hits hard.
Moral of the story: If the devil wants to dance with you, you better say never because a dance with the devil might last you forever!!!
One of the greatest songs of all time
At the point of hearing this, I left gang life, injecting heroin, and found God, but this song made me quit smoking, weed, and everything else, and truly made me feel for everyone I'd ever hurt.
Weed is only bad depending on how you use it and what you use it for. If you use it on a spiritual level to connect with the world and life then there's no real problem. It's those who abuse it just to get high who have a problem
That twist caught me so off guard. Left me speechless. Crazy story telling in this song.
I been listening this beat thousand times.... Immortal technique one of the best hip hop exposer...
True 7 minutes of masterpiece
I listen to this song today and now it changed my perspective of life and how people are
i remember when this dropped, from immortal this was a game changer. Really tells you a story, shit hit a lot of people. Great story telling/Rapping a story, miss my homies man
The truest Golden Age of Hip-hop. There is no other period in modern history that can even come close to the explosion of Poetries that littered the streets at the beggining of the 21st Century, no Poe, no Socrates, no magi no sage, unbeatable our legends will Reighn in hell where it's dark and hott.
Late 90s-early 2000s was the golden age of the underground! So many legendary artists
When I was a kid my parents were addicted to drugs. Listening to this song with my dad 6:00 am on our way to bail my mom out of jail is a completely different feeling. This song has been in my life since I was just 3 years old. It’s deep.
This is still the best hip hop song I’ve ever heard a decade after hearing it for the first time
That song hits hard when you feel lost or sad and angry at the same time
I'm blown away by this track. It's deep and twisted and pulls no punches.
