['Elizabeth' Movie intro]
Iâm content to die for my beliefs
So cut off my head and make me a Martyr
The people will always remember it
âNo. They will forgetâ
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
Itâs always been just to make the enemy bleed
Deprivinâ 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, canât afford more soldiers
Until they have to draft the last of you into the service
And you refuse cause you donât 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 lookinâ for foreign investments
You stall them with power and murder any objections
You canât stop a revolution from breathinâ
So to beat âem they offer people the illusion of freedom
But when youâre done dreaminâ and wake up, tortured for treason
Then you can see them, hidinâ behind the God they believe in
[Chorus]
Deep in the trenches in the heart of a war
Thatâs the place a Martyr is born (Mothafucka itâs on)
During the night before the start of the dawn
Thatâs the place a Martyr is born (Mothafucka itâs on)
When the gunshots are raininâ in the heart of a storm
Thatâs the place a Martyr is born (Mothafucka itâs on)
Guerilla war when the army is gone
Thatâs the place a Martyr is born (Mothafucka itâs on)
[Verse 2]
The purpose of life is a life with a purpose
So Iâd rather die for a cause than live a life that is worthless
I donât 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 theyâre used in
And realise it too late, like the shootinâ of Huey Newton
Or Patrice Lumumba and Salvador Allende
Slaughter by the power hungry branches of their own gente
Ghandi wasnât 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
Wasnât 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 âem 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 itâs 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 âem off your back when you stand up!
[Chorus]
Deep in the trenches in the heart of a war
Thatâs the place a Martyr is born (Mothafucka itâs on)
During the night before the start of the dawn
Thatâs the place a Martyr is born (Mothafucka itâs on)
When the gunshots are raininâ in the heart of a storm
Thatâs the place a Martyr is born (Mothafucka itâs on)
Guerilla war when the army is gone
Thatâs the place a Martyr is born (Mothafucka itâs on)
