Immortal Technique Dance With The Devil Song Lyrics
I once knew a nigga whose real name was WilliamHis primary concern was making a millionBeing the illest hustler that the world ever seenHe used to fuck moviestars and sniff coke in his dreams
A corrupted young mind at the age of 13Nigga never had a father and his mom was a fiendShe put the pipe down, but for every year she was soberHer son’s heart simultaneously grew colder
He started hanging out, selling bags in the projectsChecking the young chicks, looking for hit and run prospectsHe was fascinated by material objectsBut he understood money never bought respect
He built a reputation ’cause he could hustle and stealBut got locked once, and didn’t hesitate to squealSo criminals he chilled with didn’t think he was realYou see, me and niggas like this have never been equal
I don’t project my insecurities on other peopleHe fiended for props like addicts with pipes and needlesAnd so he felt he had to prove to everyone he was evilA feeble minded young man with infinite potential
The product of a ghetto bred capitalistic mentalCoincidentally dropped out of school to sell weedDancing with the devil, smoked until his eyes would bleedBut he was sick of selling trees and gave in to his greed
Everyone tryna be trife, never face the consequencesYou probably only did a month for minor offencesAsk a nigga doing life if he had another chanceBut then again there’s always the wicked that knew in advance
Dance forever with the devil on a cold cell blockBut that’s what happens when you rape, murder and sell rockDevils used to be God’s angels that fell from the topThere’s no diversity because we’re burning in the melting pot
So Billy started robbing niggas, anything he could doHe’d get his respect back in the eyes of his crewStarting fights over little shit up on the blockStepped up to selling mothers and brothers the crack rock
Working overtime for making money for the crack spotHit the jackpot and wanted to move up to cocaineFulfilling the Scarface fantasy stuck in his brainTired of the block niggas treating him the same
He wanted to be major like the cut-throats and the thugsBut when he tried to step to ’em, niggas showed him no loveThey told him any motherfucking coward can sell drugsAny bitch nigga with a gun can bust slugs
Any nigga with a red shirt can front like a bloodEven Puffy smoked a motherfucker up in a clubBut only a real thug can stab someone till they dieStanding in front of them, staring straight into their eyes
Billy realized that these men were well guardedAnd they wanted to test him before business startedSuggested raping a bitch to prove he was cold-heartedSo now he had a choice between going back to his life
Or making money with made men, up in the cifeHis dreams about cars and ice made him agreeA hardcore nigga is all he ever wanted to beAnd so he met them Friday night at a quarter to three
Everyone tryna be trife never face the consequencesYou probably only did a month for minor offencesAsk a nigga doing life if he had another chanceBut then again there’s always the wicked that knew in advance
Dance forever with the devil on a cold cell blockBut that’s what happens when you rape, murder and sell rockDevils used to be God’s angels that fell from the topThere’s no diversity because we’re burning in the melting pot
They drove around the projects slow while it was rainingSmoking blunts, drinking and joking for entertainmentUntil they saw a woman on the street walking aloneThree in the morning, coming back from work, on her way home
And so they quietly got out the car and followed herWalking through the projects, the darkness swallowed herThey wrapped her shirt around her head and knocked her onto the floorThis is, it kid, now you got your chance to be raw
So Billy yoked her up and grabbed the chick by the hairAnd dragged her into a lobby that had nobody thereShe struggled hard but they forced her to go up the stairsThey got to the roof and then held her down on the ground
Screaming, “Shut the fuck up and stop moving around”The shirt covered her face, but she screamed and clawedSo Billy stomped on the bitch, until he’d broken her jawThem dirty bastards knew exactly what they were doing
They kicked her until they cracked her ribs and she stopped movingBlood leaking through the cloth, she cried silentlyAnd then they all proceeded to rape her violentlyBilly was meant to go first, but each of them took a turn
Ripping her up, and choking her until her throat burnedA broken jaw mumbled for God but they weren’t concernedWhen they were done and she was lying bloody, broken and bruisedOne of them niggas pulled out a brand new .22
They told him that she was a witness of what she’d gone throughAnd if he killed her, he was guaranteed a spot in the crewHe thought about it for a minute, she was practically deadAnd so he leaned over and put the gun right to her head
I’m falling and I can’t turn backI’m falling and I can’t turn back
Right before he pulled the trigger, and ended her lifeHe thought about the cocaine with the platinum and iceAnd he felt strong standing along with his new brothersCocked 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 staring into the eyes of his own motherShe looked back at him and cried, ’cause he had forsaken herShe cried more painfully than when they were raping her
His whole world stopped, he couldn’t even contemplateHis corruption had succesfully changed his fateAnd he remembered how his mom used to come home lateWorking hard for nothing, ’cause now what was he worth?
He turned away from the woman that had once given him birthAnd crying out to the sky ’cause he was lonely and scaredBut only the devil responded, ’cause God wasn’t thereAnd right then he knew what it was to be empty and cold
And so he jumped off the roof and died with no soulThey say death takes you to a better place, but I doubt itAfter that they killed his mother, and never spoke about itAnd listen ’cause the story that I’m telling is true
‘Cause I was there with Billy Jacobs and I raped his mom tooAnd now the devil follows me everywhere that I goIn fact, I’m sure he’s standing among one of you at my showsAnd every street cypher listening to little thugs flow
He could be standing right next to you, and you wouldn’t knowThe devil grows inside the hearts of the selfish and wickedWhite, brown, yellow and black, color is not restrictedYou have a self destructive destiny when you’re inflicted
And you’ll be one of God’s children that fell from the topThere’s no diversity because we’re burning in the melting potSo when the devil wants to dance with you, you better say neverBecause the dance with the devil might last you forever
Oh, y’all motherfuckers thought it was over, huh?Well, it’s not, you didn’t count on a fallen angel gettin’ backInto the grace of God and comin’ after youY’all niggas ain’t shit, your producers ain’t shitYour fuckin’ A & R ain’t shitI’ll fuckin’ wipe my ass with your demo dealYo, Diabolic, take this motherfucker’s head off!
Go ‘head and grip GlocksI’ll snap your trigger finger in six spotsYou’ll have to lip lock with hypodermic needles to lick shots
I’ll watch you topple flatPut away your rings and holla backCan’t freestyle, you’re screwed off the top, like bottle caps
Beneath the surfaceI’m overheatin’ your receiving circuitsBy unleashin’ deeper verses than priests speak in churches
What you preach is worthlessYour worship defeat the purposeLike President Bush takin’ bullets for the secret service
Beyond what y’all fathom, I shit on cats and jaw tap ’emShow no compassion, like havin’ a straight-faced orgasmTour jack ’em, have his half-a-10 bitch suck my friend’s dickIn the meantime, you can french kiss this clenched fist
Diabolic, a one-man brigade spreadin’ cancer plagueFist-fuckin’ a pussy’s face, holdin’ a hand grenadeSo if I catch you bluffin’, faggot, you’re less than nothin’I just had to get that stress off my chest like breast reduction
You motherfuckers are nothin’, you cannot harm meI’ll resurrect every aborted baby and start an armyStorm the planet, huntin’ you down, ’cause I’m on a missionTo split your body into a billion one-celled organisms
Immortal Technique’ll destroy your religion, you stupid bitchYou’re faker than blue-eyed crackers nailed to a crucifixI’m ’bout to blow up, like NASA Challenger computer chipsArsenic language transmitted revolutionarily
I’m like time itself, I’m gonna kill you inevitablyChemically bomb you, fuck usin’ a chrome pieceI’m Illmatic, you won’t make it home, like Jerome’s nieceI’ll sever your head diagonally for thinkin’ of dissin’ me
And then use your dead body to write my name in calligraphyThis puppet democracy brain-washed your psychologySo you’re nothin’, like diversity without equalityAnd your crew is full of more faggots than Greek mythology
Usin’ numerology to count the people I sent to HeavenProduces more digits than 22 divided by sevenYou’re like Kevin Spacey, your style is usually suspectYou never killed a cop, you not a motherfuckin’ thug yet
Your mind is empty and spaciousLike the part of the brain that appreciates culture in a racistFace it, you’re too basic, you’re never gonna make itLike children walkin’ through Antarctica, butt-naked
