“There is no diversity cause we are melting in the melting pot” wow!!!
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".
That burns deep..😔
This hit so hard I cant even describe it
Yup. In my town that's all you see
Thanks for sharing this
Wow
"But only the Devil responded, 'cause God wasn't there..."
Jesus, that line is honestly so cold.
That was my favourite line too.
2024. 60 years old and I visit this song frequently. Raw is real.
That's how I like messages portrayed, no holding back, just tell it how it is, leave nothing out no matter how disgusting and grim it is
I am 55 years of age truth is truth
I was 11 when I first listened to this or 10 don't remember I'm now 15😢
@user-cw2ml1vf6y 15? You still a kid. Enjoy it while it lasts bro
im 86 i listen to this , this song kinda bangs
I actually gasped when that twist came in about his mom. Wow
It got so dark
It's real bro
@@user-vh6sf7lx7w it's real all true
@@Faulty-demon Crazy shit. This song just hits me everytime i hear it
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 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
Stay resilient brother, rise above.
You got this, stay strong brother. May a higher power be with you
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...
If a song could save someone obviously that thing was never worth it.
“So when the Devil wants to dance with you!? You better say never, Because a dance with the Devil might last you forever” Immortal Technique 🦾🦿
probably the most underrated and underappreciated artist period. this man deserves 56 million subs+
I dont ever think there are these many woke fearless empaths on the planet, only those connect with him. He is one of us.
If he did ever go mainstream he’d get silenced hard. Not necessarily assassinated, but some psyop kind of shit. Would def be under CIA watch
Truth
@@bluewuppo why you think he hasn't come out with a new album?
Mad I learned about him so late
As a metalhead I don't listen to rap that often, but when I do... this song is pure art.
I'm a musician and a metal head. I like pop and rap it's well composed.
What’s up fellow bmth fan :)
I read this as methhead not metalhead😂
Metalhead + hip hop head is the best combination.
Metal here too, but this song kills.
I hope this song circulates throughout generations. The message is eternal.
Look suspect AGB - this part of the song descibes him ngl

This song has one of my favorite uses of a sample: "I've fallen and I can't turn back"
This song means so much to me, every time I hear it it’s like the first time.
its just so relatable. Never heard anything like this before I first heard this song. Getting to see him back around 2010 was so exciting.
It really is

Back here in 23 and this song still gives me the chills. We had good music. All round banger
Same here
24 for me
I still remember how old I was and what I was doing when I first heard this song. Makes you think twice
Probably the best story teller in hip hop history. The story is so captivating you almost don’t hear the beat. To sum it up in two words, evil genius.
True
I could sum it up in two words. R*ped Mom.😐
Did he actually say he was involved in the rape too?
@HR-27 Yes he did but he wasnt included in the murder
ahhh that's a tuff choice. I'd say Slick Rick is the greatest story tellers. but not a bad opinion
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.
Groovy
Deep & Dark as fk
Yeah man this song hits hard. Too relatable
Doesn’t matter who or what you are. You know it’s good when you double take on the quality
@@YoMama9021 exactly, Its nice that he was able to give it a true listen
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.
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.
First time hearing this I’m in shock, gave me the chills can’t move, damn
Same bro. 5 hours after u commented this. I got chills. Thought i was the only one
everytime i listen it gives me chills
This song has shaken me for years. As a firm metalhead...I've never struggled through a song this much.
Damn. This is the first time I heard this. Speechless...
Most cruel narrative in rap history.
For real
only 1 song that might be worse
What's that? Kim?
@@user-ym2uq3qd4g cleaning out my closet, not the one by enimen
its by angel haze
That song hits hard when you feel lost or sad and angry at the same time
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.
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.
Bro...this song actually made me cry and get choked up😭
dawg
Just chills. In the 15+ years I’ve heard this, no other song has ever made me feel what this one has.
The way my jaw and tears dropped at the last part.
still one of the coldest stories told through lyrics!!
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.
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
Better give Big Pun a shot, better style
@@chriselii6860 better style?????GTFOH POS....
6 huh🤣🤣🤣
Little fart why you bother paying attention to your brother when he showed you such a song? Smh
Honored to be commenting.
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.
You could say immortal technique is, well, immortal
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.
Agree in every way
One of
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.
Which line is that?
Either the reveal of the mother or the "I was there with Billy Jacobs and I *expletive* his mother too.
Every second of this song is an absolute masterpiece. None of it is wasted
Jaw dropped at the end
That twist caught me so off guard. Left me speechless. Crazy story telling in this song.
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 ❤️
Still listening to summer 2024
I remember being in a busy nightclub in Korea and the DJ mixed this track in, watching people dancing to this was a weird experience...
Asia be like that
It’s not weird you can vibe 2 it really have to understand the world we live in heartbreaking asf
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
Immortal Technique is just very raw. He knows how to use imagery. Also, he’s politically tapped in
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.
Same 😢
I used to listen to Immortal Technique a lot in high school and I recently started listening to him again. Such a good artist
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.
felt like kendrick lamar - meet the graham shouldve been on this
YESS THATS WHAT THE FIRST THING I THOUGHT
I heard this song ten years ago. My brother showed me this, and the storytelling through this song is.. unreal and talented.
Seriously *the heaviest* track of all time. This shit makes your skin crawl and stays with you long after the song ends...
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.
Pretty impressive to be able to hear this 1015 years ago. I guess it makes sense, he is *Immortal* Technique.
The most disturbing rap song ever. Hard to listen to but a true piece of art
Who still here in 2019 ?. This will last, till the DEVIL has passed.
#ImmortalTechnique 🔥🙌✊

Might be the most intense song I’ve ever heard. Wtf did I just listen to 😓
First time ever hearing this. I randomly clicked on a video "is dance with the devil a true story" insterview with immortal technique. Glad I did.
First time also gave me chills towards the end but did u hear when he said I was the ones who raped his mom
I’m 41 and I still bump this in the car
That's whatz up 😌
Why 😂😂😂
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 is so deep and beautiful but so dark and gruesome it genuinely moves me to tears each time i hear it
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.
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.
I been listening this beat thousand times.... Immortal technique one of the best hip hop exposer...
I listen to this song today and now it changed my perspective of life and how people are
This song is one of my mc favorites!!! Immortal technique on live he is just amazing!!! Thanks
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! 💯
I friend showed me this song once some years ago. Did forget about in, but in the second verse the memory came back and I immediately remembered the last verse. First hearing this left quite an impact, even though it left my mind until now.
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!
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!!!

Still listing to this song over 10 years later... this song introduced me to IMORTAL TECHNIQUE and his music.
Realist rapper out. Respect!!!!
I'm blown away by this track. It's deep and twisted and pulls no punches.
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 😊
Im 32 and this song still a masterpiece and still always moves me like mannn 🤯💯💯 remember seeing him at a small club he played this too
bruh im in high school and in australia but i want to still see him lol
I just heard a part of this and came for the full story. Oh my God.
Phenomenal work my dude, I'm glad to see someone spitting the truth in a way that can't be censored. Thank you for all your hard work and lyrics over these years.
First Immortal technique song I ever heard back in like 2002. Been a fan ever since.
Not listened to this for time, i have no idea how this hasnt hit over a million views
Damn light a joint and put this on repeat takes you all over the place emotionally
I once knew a nigga whose real name was William
His primary concern was makin' a million
Bein' the illest hustler that the world ever seen
He used to fuck movie stars and sniff coke in his dreams
A corrupted young mind at the age of 13
Nigga never had a father and his mom was a fiend
She put the pipe down, but for every year she was sober
Her son's heart simultaneously grew colder
He started hangin' out, sellin' bags in the projects
Checkin' the young chicks, lookin' for hit-and-run prospects
He was fascinated by material objects
But he understood money never bought respect
He built a reputation, 'cause he could hustle and steal
But got locked once and didn't hesitate to squeal
So criminals he chilled with didn't think he was real
You see, me and niggas like this have never been equal
I don't project my insecurities in other people
He fiended for props like addicts with pipes and needles
So he felt he had to prove to everyone he was evil
A feeble-minded young man with infinite potential
The product of a ghetto-bred capitalistic mental
Coincidentally dropped out of school to sell weed
Dancin' with the Devil, smoked until his eyes would bleed
But he was sick of sellin' trees and gave in to his greed
[Hook]
Everyone tryin' to be trife never face the consequences
You probably only did a month for minor offenses
Ask a nigga doin' life if he had another chance
But then again, there's always the wicked that knew in advance
Dance forever with the Devil on a cold cell block
But that's what happens when you rape, murder, and sell rock
Devils used to be God's angels that fell from the top
There's no diversity because we're burnin' in the melting pot
[Verse 2]
So Billy started robbin' niggas, anything he could do
To get his respect back in the eyes of his crew
Startin' fights over little shit up on the block
Stepped up to sellin' mothers and brothers the crack rock
Workin' overtime for makin' money for the crack spot
Hit the jackpot, and wanted to move up to cocaine
Fulfillin' the Scarface fantasy stuck in his brain
Tired of the block niggas treatin' him the same
He wanted to be major like the cut throats and the thugs
But when he tried to step to 'em, niggas showed him no love
They told him any motherfuckin' coward can sell drugs
Any bitch nigga with a gun can bust slugs
Any nigga with a red shirt can front like a Blood
Even Puffy smoked a motherfucker up in the club
But only a real thug can stab someone 'til they die
Standin' in front of them, starin' straight into their eyes
Billy realized that these men were well-guarded
And they wanted to test him before business started
Suggested rapin' a bitch to prove he was cold-hearted
So now he had a choice between goin' back to his life
Or makin' money with made men up in the cyph'
His dreams about cars and ice made him agree
A hardcore nigga is all he ever wanted to be
And so he met them Friday night at a quarter to three
[Hook]
Everyone tryin' to be trife never face the consequences
You probably only did a month for minor offenses
Ask a nigga doin' life if he had another chance
But then again, there's always the wicked that knew in advance
Dance forever with the Devil on a cold cell block
But that's what happens when you rape, murder, and sell rock
Devils used to be God's angels that fell from the top
There's no diversity because we're burnin' in the melting pot
[Verse 3]
They drove around the projects slow while it was rainin'
Smokin' blunts, drinkin' and jokin' for entertainment
Until they saw a woman on the street, walkin' alone
Three in the mornin', comin' back from work, on her way home
And so they quietly got out the car and followed her
Walkin' through the projects, the darkness swallowed her
They wrapped her shirt around her head
And knocked her onto the floor
"This is it, kid, now you got your chance to be raw"
So Billy yoked her up and grabbed the chick by the hair
And dragged her into a lobby that had nobody there
She struggled hard, but they forced her to go up the stairs
They got to the roof and then held her down on the ground
Screamin', "Shut the fuck up, and stop movin' around!"
The shirt covered her face, but she screamed and clawed
So Billy stomped on the bitch until he'd broken her jaw
The dirty bastards knew exactly what they were doin'
They kicked her until they cracked her ribs and she stopped movin'
Blood leakin' through the cloth, she cried silently
And then they all proceeded to rape her violently
Billy was made to go first, but each of them took a turn
Rippin' her up and chokin' her until her throat burned
Her broken jaw mumbled for God, but they weren't concerned
When they were done and she was lyin'
Bloody, broken and bruised
One of them niggas pulled out a brand new .22
They told him that she was a witness of what she'd gone through
And if he killed her, he was guaranteed a spot in the crew
He thought about it for a minute, she was practically dead
And so he leaned over and put the gun right to her head
[Sample]
I'm fallin' and I can't turn back
I'm fallin' and I can't turn back
[Verse 4]
Right before he pulled the trigger and ended her life
He thought about the cocaine with the platinum and ice
And he felt strong standin' along with his new brothers
Cocked the gat to her head and pulled back the shirt cover
But what he saw made him start to cringe and stutter
'Cause he was starin' into the eyes of his own mother
She looked back at him and cried 'cause he had forsaken her
She cried more painfully than when they were rapin' her
His whole world stopped, he couldn't even contemplate
His corruption had successfully changed his fate
And he remembered how his mom used to come home late
Workin' hard for nothin', because now what was he worth?
He turned away from the woman that had once given him birth
And cryin' out to the sky, 'cause he was lonely and scared
But only the Devil responded, 'cause God wasn't there
And right then he knew what it was to be empty and cold
And so he jumped off the roof and died with no soul
They say death takes you to a better place, but I doubt it
After that, they killed his mother, and never spoke about it
And listen, 'cause the story that I'm tellin' is true
'Cause I was there with Billy Jacobs, and I raped his mom too
And now the Devil follows me everywhere that I go
In fact, I'm sure he's standin' among one of you at my shows
And every street cypher, listenin' to little thugs flow
He could be standin' right next to you, and you wouldn't know
The Devil grows inside the hearts of the selfish and wicked
White, brown, yellow and black - color is not restricted
You have a self-destructive destiny when you're inflicted
And you'll be one of God's children that fell from the top
There's no diversity because we're burnin' in the melting pot
So when the Devil wants to dance with you, you better say never
Because a dance with the Devil might last you forever
Damn, this song is too raw for me sometimes. I can only listen to this song about once per year. That was it, see y’all next year.
Same here. I just listened to it and it was amazing. The bars are absolute gold. The story telling and flow is heavenly, but the subject matter kills me inside. I teared up on the bus just now.
This song gives me chills.
i heard this song once when i was younger and has lived in my head for years
Such a powerful song in soo many ways.
Masterpiece! One of the best songs ever!
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
chilling. best storytelling track i have come across so far, and i have been listening to NaS and the likes for years
2020 we in here
2nd time I listened to this song. The first I said nope, I cant... the 2nd was just as hard, overwhelming as the first.. all I could do is cry! Cry for this young boy and being so lost, cry for his mother, cry for idk!! Overwhelming!
A dance with the devil will last last forever ✨️
This song is so real it will never get old
The first time I listened to this song I was shocked by how dark it got.... this is still the best song I've listened to.
U are one of my favorite American hip-hop artists... keep it 💯 for years to come 🙏🏻
My dad had me listen to this song the first time I cried
More than 16 years later and is still a great lesson story
For me the best rapper in nowadays & one of the bests ever! True Genius 💯⭐
Deserve much more views!
Assalamualaikum he speaks the truth like a brave man of God should...
I wish there was a video to watch. The song is so raw it's still messing with my head! Classic stuff!
There is.
To watch rape?? 😂
I’m here in 2021 and this song makes me cry every time that I listen to it
