- 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.”
just wow...
"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.
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.
"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
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!
elvis manhattan
How you doin bro ??
Always remember it’s a continues struggle.
"No, they will forget" is hard af
Immortal Technique is one of the smartest person I've known.
The purpose of life is a life with a purpose so id rather die for a cause then live a life that is worthless i don't need the circus or a day of national observance i need you to think for you and stop being a servant.
That second verse is fire!!!! So is the whole song but the 2nd verse whoa!!! Knowledge is power.
U from uk?
I'm embarrassed to say I didn't even know he released this album until today. So glad I have found it now !
Revolutionary music at its best.... where all with you Immortal Technique... Real Hip Hop !
i found it today..
powerful lyrics, thats why i love immortal technique
"The purpose of life is a life with a purpose so id rather die for a cause than live a life that is worthless"
Changed my life about 11 years ago.
That one sentence.
Who is ready to be a martyr?
Tech is how people should be. He speaks the truth and he is truly free!!!! No fear!! Immortal tech for life!!! Hits my soul!!!
Dis song is deep it needs more views!
HOLY MOTHER OF GOD. 92k views? You guys are beast! Immortal Technique 4 life!
Should be 92 million bro
its time 2018, this song was just a message for the future
An empire disguised as a constitution. He put into words what ive been thinking lately. Power of hip hop.
I'm gonna die anyway. Use this vessel. Use this essence. Eternally. Tho I am weak & foolish. I am an endless sacrifice.
Will not go unnoticed
“you can’t stop a revolution from breathing so to beat em you give them the illusion of freedom”
God damned right
Im deleting all my drake and wayne tracks as i listen to this
I hope you're still this way
why you got either
You could listen to both
This is hecticly relevant right now. Bro you were 12yrs ahead of most ppl 🤝
"the purpose of life is a life with a purpose"... tech spits raw fire
Ever since i first heard immortal technique like 4 years ago i fell in love with his music, for like 2 years in a row, eventhing he says is honest and on point, but lately i dunno, it just seems so repetative, seems asif hes just re worded every album so sound the same, i dunno maybe its just me maybe i will grow to like him again
If you havent, then you should totally check out Ice Cube newish album.
I love Immortal Technique, no one out there is as real or down to earth as he is! Viva la Revolución!
@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!
i saw him at toads place in ct a month ago and he put one a great show and even stayed after to sign everyones merchandise now thats a real entertainer
This is more than HIP HOP, this is daylight, we've been in the dark. Wake up and unite!
I just love the beginning and end of this song!!! the middle is awesome too! like omg!!!
Damn this is heavy
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.
Holy shit! TECH IS BACK!!!!!!!!!
rapper will added to my top 5 today, this is a good playlist im listening too, thank you for making this playlist its baller
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
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.
the people will always remember it
No, they will forget
It makes me happy to see that the top comments are about unity and brotherhood. THAT'S why I listen to IT.
He speaks the truth
@Jacky Vazquez Wow, only 28 likes on this comment in 6 years? It's a damn shame and not surprising... That says a lot I think. But on the other hand it's good to know there are some like minded people out there. Much love to you 😘❤✊
style evolving continuously no sign of sleeping on old laurels
He speaks the truth.
straight up
wick3dclown217 right, this song is hardcore :D WAKE UP AMERICA! THE NDAA, FEMA CAMPS, ITS HERE!
***** Jews them selves aren't any bad but Zionists with their Zionism know where to direct your hate :)
I'm going to his concert in San Diego on November 19th and only for 23 bucks. So stoked!!! Viva la revolucion!!
So Imma need every generation to put your hands up
Cause you can only get 'em off your back when you stand up!
He's not. Dead...met him after a show last week in nyc....amazing show
the beatles - Eleanor Rigby
yep haha
The Beatles were woke af
They were jus puppets2 the industry
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.
GOOD PEOPLE OF GOOD MUSIC. PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT MY FRIEND
His rap name is K-rino. most underrated rapper of our century . great poet and informing man
ThePeachRats i love k rino he's my all time favorite rapper follows by tech and vinnie paz
K-rino is cool, i like he's song "Grand deception"... 🔥👍 ☺
K-Rino is the Greatest Rapper Ever.
"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."
Just enjoy the music stop biccering come together to fight not fight each other
Beast 1333 too bro - mouth of madness being his first major release. Wow. Him and Tech are on a diffrerent plateau from everyone else
QUE VIVA LA REVOLUCION!
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.
I still rock this mans music to today I can’t stand new rappers I stopped at Kendrick everyone after that is just wack
J-Cole is pretty good
Same here friend
''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.''
God does exist
Exactly
Damn this song makes me feel so strong
Ireland 32
TAL 32
2023 still going haard on this banger 🔥
FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸 !
Some shit never changes.
Saying that you shouldn't be afraid to die for your view on things, that if the government kills you then people will realize something is up.
And the part about Guerilla War is saying that it's nothing more than just to cause more casualties and not end the battle, hence, "The point of Guerrilla war is not to succeed, it's alwasy been just to make the enemy bleed"
goin to see him in aus, bring the heat tech !!
You know when your headphones vibrate from the guy speaking in the intro, that my room is probably going to bounce.
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!
the image is the BEST, but so is Immortal Technique himself
Do your research before you get on here talkin like you learned something valuable at school, tech speaks the truth once again
underground music for life
The world would be a better place if everybody just listened to Immortal Technique.
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.
When the gunshots are raining in the heart of a storm...
This dude and K Rino(don't sleep on this cat) are at the top of my list as great talented rappers.
The purpose of life is a life with a purpose so id rather die for a cause than live a life that is worthless. one of the best saying thumbs up if you agree
I listen to this song every day. Get's me amped to fight for change and what's right.
Saints of Friendship and Solidarity in the House!
Love that he released stuff like this free too
gives me chills
Song has it all; deep lyrics, piano, violins, and fucking trumpets.
Thank whatever's up there that people like you exist.
Immortal Technique is the reason I became a rapper in the first place. to spread the truth through my lyrics like he does. I probably won't reach his level but I'm workin' on it.
@BannTheHacker Thank You. Respect from Detroit
Right... To quote Tech himself, "The greatest flaw any intelligent person has is to think that they are smarter than everyone else." Some people need to listen to Ultimas Palabras.
this is the maddest MC thankyou
@Muusicca he continues...''Sometimes I look back on that life and I wonder what it would have been like, and in moments of weakness I think about trading it, but then I snap the fuck out of it and get back to my reality, and I realise, that I'm in the heart of a war, and that's the place a matryr is born'
"look at all the lonely ppl"; intro reminds me of that song, especially when the violins come in (the beatles)...
@8KingFisher I really respect your way of thinking; its so true. I agree, I was also offended by the pure and simply emotional propaganda and sympathy creating crap. Yeah, people think by clicking 'Share' or liking a status is actually helping anything, and as you said, thinking they are activists.. I mean the whole campaign has such an obvious hidden agenda.
It is so good to know there are people like you who question things like this and have not been manipulated by the media devil.
@BannTheHacker cheers for the link brother been waiting to get this since its been out
I read your name with a thick Scottish accent. Made me happy.
No The only one who has a real reason is going up alone why? You are unique and special
I wish i could be forgotten forever
Many of my favorite musicians have sold out and gone soft over the years ... good to see Immortal Technique isn't one of them :)
Denial =/= problem solving! Thank you!
amazing song!
Got to meet this man and take a picture with him during his Australia tour
''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!
@Kohen0344 I Understand. You are my Brother now and i yours. may this music always remind us why the Truth is more Important then Money and Power
When a prominent figurehead of any cause is murdered, he becomes a martyr - one who continues to inspire his followers even after death. This inspiration doesn't last forever, even though the martyr would like it to. "They will forget."
Guerrilla War is the exact opposite of how the American Revolutionary and Civil Wars were fought. Think more sneak-n-stab than to just hit them directly. The people who fight like this aren't fighting to win. They are fighting for revenge. (next message)
Immortal Technique is a legend.
Humanity will ALWAYS cause destruction, suffering & misery to each other and to Mother Earth, as long as we stay divided, hate-filled, unknowledgeable & fearful of one another. Until All of Humanity can COME TOGETHER to be ONE, a Force for Good, a Force that serves others in need & the Greater Good, a Force for Love, Accomplishment, Progress, we need UNITY, All Humans are Connected, we are ALL ONE Life Force, one organism, Never Lose your Personal Identity & Soul but Never Forget that we are ONE
Good thing that The Martyr is free to download on the internet. Immortal Technique is a great revolutionary rapper but I wouldn't say Beast1313 is better than him like some people say.
bout time he came back
Yes And Thanks I'm an Elder Much Respect To rother!
