| [00:05.47] | 'Elizabeth' Movie intro: |
| [00:05.97] | I'm content to die for my beliefs |
| [00:07.40] | So cut off my head and make me a Martyr |
| [00:14.20] | The people will always remember it |
| [00:17.50] | "No. They will forget" |
| [00:22.13] | |
| [00:37.93] | A man who walks with God, can walk anywhere |
| [00:43.43] | Hence.. I fear nothing |
| [00:45.66] | |
| [00:46.11] | Immortal Technique - Verse 1 |
| [00:46.53] | The point of guerilla war, is not to succeed |
| [00:48.61] | It's always been just to make the enemy bleed |
| [00:51.38] | Deprivin' the soldiers of the peace of mind that they need |
| [00:54.33] | Bullets are hard to telegraph when they bob and they weave |
| [00:57.29] | The only way a Guerilla War can ever be over |
| [01:00.75] | Is when the occupation, can't afford more soldiers |
| [01:03.82] | Until they have to draft the last of you into the service |
| [01:06.80] | And you refuse cause you don't see the purpose |
| [01:09.01] | The only way to counter the insurgents that are well-equipped |
| [01:12.14] | Is to paint the people fighting for freedom as terrorists |
| [01:15.10] | Then find a faction lookin' for foreign investments |
| [01:18.00] | You stall them with power and murder any objections |
| [01:20.97] | You can't stop a revolution from breathin' |
| [01:23.81] | So to beat 'em they offer people the illusion of freedom |
| [01:26.56] | But when you're done dreamin' and wake up, tortured for treason |
| [01:29.58] | Then you can see them, hidin' behind the God they believe in |
| [01:32.17] | |
| [01:32.65] | Immortal Technique - Chorus |
| [01:33.20] | Deep in the trenches in the heart of a war |
| [01:35.49] | That's the place a Martyr is born （Mothafucka it's on） |
| [01:38.14] | During the night before the start of the dawn |
| [01:41.33] | That's the place a Martyr is born （Mothafucka it's on） |
| [01:44.75] | When the gunshots are rainin' in the heart of a storm |
| [01:47.37] | That's the place a Martyr is born （Mothafucka it's on） |
| [01:50.60] | Guerilla war when the army is gone |
| [01:52.84] | That's the place a Martyr is born （Mothafucka it's on） |
| [01:56.11] | |
| [01:56.57] | Immortal Technique - Verse 2 |
| [01:57.16] | The purpose of life is a life with a purpose |
| [01:58.81] | So I'd rather die for a cause than live a life that is worthless |
| [02:01.71] | I don't need the circus or the day of national observance |
| [02:04.73] | I need you to think for you and stop being a servant |
| [02:07.56] | Pawns only move a square in the game that they're used in |
| [02:10.65] | And realise it too late, like the shootin' of Huey Newton |
| [02:13.59] | Or Patrice Lumumba and Salvador Allende |
| [02:16.67] | Slaughter by the power hungry branches of their own gente |
| [02:19.58] | Ghandi wasn't killed by Pakistani nationals |
| [02:22.45] | He was assassinated by a Hindu radical |
| [02:25.41] | And Che Guevara, rebel to a U.S. continent |
| [02:28.32] | Was sold to the C.I.A. by Bolivian communists |
| [02:31.08] | Wasn't Yitzhak Rabin murdered by a Zionist |
| [02:34.23] | And Anwar Sadat a victim of the same violence? |
| [02:37.02] | Malcolm X was seen as a threat to the F.B.I. |
| [02:40.28] | But to blast 'em they used Muslims from the N.O.I. |
| [02:43.40] | Even the 35th President of the Republic |
| [02:46.42] | Was murdered by factions of his own government |
| [02:49.02] | So now that it's proven, that a soldier of Revolution |
| [02:52.12] | Or head of an empire, disguised in a Constitution |
| [02:54.43] | Can not escape the retribution or manipulation |
| [02:57.34] | Of the self-appointed rulers of the planets corporations |
| [03:00.30] | So Imma need every generation to put your hands up |
| [03:03.25] | Cause you can only get 'em off your back when you stand up! |
| [03:06.14] | |
