Immortal Technique - Crimes of the Heart *Lyrics

[GeoPapayiannis]

This nigga, this nigga spits some real shit. Everybody has been through tough times though few are the ones who are able to talk about them

[R1CHARD909]

man this song got me through some tough times...

[OORGANICS]

i swear yo i listin to this song like 10x in a row this is serious

[TheSEANzampyJUNIOR]

i feel like a moth that got himself to close to the light, except i didnt burn i turned cold after that night.- you never know

[OORGANICS]

K YO LISTIN UP IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE IS THE MOST LYRICAL RAPPER HE RAPS ABOUT THE TRUTH 3RD WORLD ALBUM WAS HIS BEST

[ConceitedCertified]

Another Hoe * or another wife?

[kemo1329]

Crimes of the Heart  v(-_-)> ♥ ... endless.

[thclette420]

A toast to the broken hearted

who never got to finish what they fuckin started....

[Smokeybrown1]

Damn this song can always make me tear up for some reason

[Tamaraa078]

llllloooveeee this song

[SirMelodicBrush]

I want to find more songs that sound like this, sick beat

[kylesroy]

His Words Are Immortal & None can match his Technique & Flow....

Fcuk the neckless, hoes & cars, Tech spitten Lyrics more pricless then Gold Bars.. haa

[TheOunceler]

i liked his beats on rev. 1 & 2 over 3rd World and this tape... the lyrics are still deep and on point though. maybe its just me

[AndricDavid]

Wait, if I understand correctly, since internet was made people were talking about rape and all others were like "lulz" and lately i only see people raging about it on every fucking song i want to listen to?

Internet, Y U NO BALANCE YOURSELF?

[TrueDominguez]

@AndricDavid internet, video games, tv, mainstream music are all distractions no need 2 pay attention 2

[TheStresser12]

i think it says falter not hotter on that part at the end just a guess might be it tho

[Xzii666]

you know when every now and again you find a song that perfectly describes your situation or a person that has put you in said situation in the past? This is one of those. I'm glad I got that soul-sucking bitch out of my life, and this is why immortal technique is a fucking God.

[BlaZ1nUp]

@Xzii666 He's not god, but yeah the song is good. Describes my past too kinda.

[gigismennr1]

how come 10 lil whiney fans saw this video?

[Deleoss]

Really deep lyrics that only a talented lyricist like Immortal Technique can produce. He really tells the truth and isn't afraid to.

[dnbganjaman]

@Deleoss it;s vinnie paz

[XxBergyxX]

Can anyone describe what does "limelight" mean in this context? I cant get this shit

[adamdneel8]

@XxBergyxX 'To be in the limelight' is an expression for 'to get attention', 'to be the star of the show'. He's saying the devil and Christ are fighting for the "spotlight"

[XxBergyxX]

@adamdneel8

Oh, thanks a lot, Adam. I'm not from USA or England so probably understanding this transitive sense (is it transitive sense, btw? :P) was too hard for me.

Peace.

[TheBugatron]

@XxBergyxX  I think he is talking about the limelight church in New York, it closed and was made into a market such as a mall that has boutiques.

That is what I think it means its just my opinion.

[illbootya]

I can relate to 15 things he mentioned. I can relate to anything drake, lil gay wayne or nikki the tranny minaj say

[Galltron3000]

@illbootya shame cause all they talk about is non-sensical bullshit, wait a minute....hahahahahahahahahaha­haha

[xCuZaLoDa]

10 peoples fathers raped them as a child.

[Str8FX]

@xCuZaLoDa why would you joke about that shit??

[TheBaylaCrew101]

@xCuZaLoDa God. Shut the fuck up.. you dumbshit bastard!

[I1IKonArtisI1I]

shit gives me chills. every time.

[lunatiksAlterEgo]

This song is so deep and im totally going through alot of the things hes spoke on.

[hokysniper]

666 likes, hmm weird... fuck love

[MrCHILLn01]

[DuNLikEZacH]

[long2534]

[dreadedcod5sniper]

Easily the best song he has wrote.

[crashmantita]

Why did you murder our world? s:

[GreezMode]

he took the piss with this song, fucking piss.

[jasano1234]

Big Cock

[KrajjanKxmar]

I made my friend, who happens to be a mainstream rap fan, listen to this song. He called it "emo". His lungs just haven't worked right ever since.

[SuperRelinquished]

@KrajjanKxmar he/she deserved what u gave him/her :)

[KrajjanKxmar]

@SuperRelinquished Obviously a male. Ain't right to strike a female.

[SuperRelinquished]

@KrajjanKxmar tru tru but it doesnt mean u shouldnt if it has to be done then u must

[Galltron3000]

@KrajjanKxmar bwoi be an eeeediot

[12XCMCX13]

dame i always saw this song in the suggestion but i never felt like clicking on it till now n DAME IT DOWN

[forsureyess]

shit mother fuck god damn ok immortal, ok

[lown44]

Insane song. Amazing/ Hard Lyrics good flow damn techniques track make me think its just crazy 

[Renniez911]

IT For President!

[MustafaBaskal]

@badman621 LOOOOOL Funny comments at 3.36am are amazing haha

[TheAnswer313]

insane flow

[wtfisthatsmell]

@badman621 in what way?

[AGL2794]

where can i download this?

[XsolidXstrikeX]

Some of you guys say some SpEd as shit. Enjoy the music and don't comment on who Immortal is like. He's on his own level, and hasn't been matched yet. And for those of you that say Eminem is the greatest rapper alive, click on a RANDOM Immortal Technique song and listen. Your perception on what rap truly is will change.

[DaFreeBoy]

@XsolidXstrikeX that was the comment #1 for me! save and support true Hip-Hop

[XpersiansX]

@badman621 lol Agreed. People say some stupid shit.

[MrRainbowUnicornMan]

this is probably the worst backing track tech has rapped on..

[phatman1871]

imortal technique is probly the closest thing iv heard to 2pac ever

[AnonTheWindCriesMary]

@phatman1871 not really... in this song, he sounds more like The Game... or Icecube.

[Galltron3000]

@AnonTheWindCriesMary yeah, except the two people you mentioned arent Tech so he sounds nothing like that. tech was born and grew up till he was 6 in a third world country, the two you mentioned are just sewer rats from the gutter of an american hood, his unique style comes from that pain and hardship he endured.pressure makes diamonds, composte heaps just smell of shit

[TroubledYouthVideo]

@phatman1871 can't compare!

[templarmoney1]

@phatman1871 na i think what you said was pretty real fuck @badman621

[InwardHeel666]

@phatman1871 ... Immortal Technique is way better then 2pac, sorry for The Haterz !

[bakery455]

@phatman1871 Are you dumb in the head?

[peralta3Jose]

@bakery455 It's his damn opinion worry about your's

[hatchattack617]

such a great song

[Tamaraa078]

mi like mi like mi like mi like

[SheVooZaXoo]

:'(

[Tamaraa078]

@SheVooZaXoo Dont cryyy why u cryyyyingggg

[Tamaraa078]

omg this song isss sooooooooooooo gooooooooooddddddddddddddddddd­dddddd

[DjNeGaTiV]

How can someone write something this amazing? Tech is a fucking genius, damn!

[blazedafrodon]

damn i thought i came up with the phrase crimes of the heart.. i wud luv to c a collab btwn immortal technique and joe budden

[blazedafrodon]

This is madddddness too much.. i thought i came up with the phrase crimes of the heart turns out there is a song about it

[Sm0Kz420]

10 people dont have hearts

[SuperSpecialChild]

To say that tech is a lyrical genius, or an amazing artist/poet...... just dosent seem justice

[nicecharles1]

Immortal Technique, one of the most lyrical to ever touch the microphone.

[asianstrength]

This song is from Cedar Boys

[Hitman0769]

Thanks for the post . it's HARD TIMES not HOTTER at the end there ;)

[SikNerdRapz]

Okay, I know people hate people that say "oh this isn't the right lyrics"

but I'm just high, and to prove my senses are better, the part where it says ??hotter?? is "hard times."

[MegaRazaraza]

this song really mind fucked my brain for 3 secs

[rockitrapitordropit]

How is anything by immortal technique on I-Tunes??? someone explain to me. lol

[rockitrapitordropit]

I can understand some of what he's talking about but I've never been 21 in jail at night but when he says "its like a fight between the devil and christ over the limelight i feel like he's talking directly to me

[salvadoryoutuization]

i fucking love da lyrics

[PsychedelicWarfare]

You guys know this one big metaphor right??? RIGHT? Not just about some girl or whatever... Damn... Deep shit...

[ManLoKz13]

Love it!

[Rising421]

Immortal thank you for being alive..and thank you for making the stress of redeeming myself much easier...fuck a psychiatrist listen just to intellectual hip hop it will open your eyes to a bunch of insolence in our world today

[Macks73]

@Rising421 Hell yea man, Tupac, Hopsin, Immortal Technique, and Tech N9ne and you'll build yourself up to the strongest intellectual being you never thought you could be.

[rockitrapitordropit]

@Macks73 Eh.. tech n9ne not so much he just smokes a lot of weed and is crazy man. I used to love tech nine but i also used to praise the devil and his music pushed me towards that so... choose wisely. KILLUMINATI BRO

[Macks73]

@rockitrapitordropit You know that's funny you say that actually because i've never really listened to Tech but i'm addicted to his new cd. But i get a feeling he's got subliminal messaging towards the new world order and illuminati, but his messages are about being an individual and shit so I'm not sure. You should listen to David Icke sometime though.

[IslamIstheWayforMe]

@Macks73

You think Illuminati's just a fucking conspiracy? - Immortal Technique....you need to listen to his Revolutionary Volume 2 CD itll be more up your alley if you like David Icke......

[Dying2k1ll]

Fuck you Kendra, You broke my heart.

[dailycondiments]

Perfectly honest and reality based... Typical Immortal Technique

[Macks73]

@dailycondiments The reality we live, not 90 percent of the world.....

[erpuzzetta01]

I don't think those 9 people has souls... Really bro's.

[mathew5495]

I like this song cekout my raps songs pls thanku :)))

[WormYourHonor64]

I just found out how deep rap is. Awesome.

[iMMtECHbAbE91]

tech gets down, end of story.

[demonicBerith]

Like god And the Devil fighting for the limelight Omg this such an amazing track I don't know what else to say, I love tech he's like the missing piece of my heart, god bless you, tech is gonna have a seat by god when he dies and all will worship him as a king

[frickinM0F0]

kathys a bitch

[MrBillGardner]

Climbing through the endless or ILLEST night?

This song is one of his best!

[bust99391018]

9 haters without a life

[romariol12]

GET TECHNIQUES CD AND CRANK IT UP IN FRONT OF YOUR RACIST PRINCIPAL,THE PIG ASS 5-0 AND YOUR NEIGHBORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[wallaceX2jc]

The stuff he said about love is so true

[MrViktr]

"Rap is a product. Hip Hop is an art. Mainstream is about selling products. Underground is about creating art. That simple. "

-SeriuxFan

[hanford53]

this song gives me goosebumps

[hanford53]

She broke my heart and this song explains how she is....

[Dying2k1ll]

Yeah man im with you....



[CIENEGALOKO13]

@hanford53 Girls come and go dude..dont trip u will find a chick..not trying to get in ur business but we are all underground heads so we help each other when we are down..Keep ur head ur homie..stay real

[DjFree08]

This song hits hard on so many levels, just if you've never been in the situation the song is talking about - you wouldn't even take notice and begin to understand how deep the track really is.

[MegaGerryO]

@DjFree08

i feel you man..

[MrBlazesex]

@DjFree08 seriusly brah..

[TheKBOchannel]

@DjFree08 wonder how africans are doin right now.. but im sure your life is muuuuuch harder huh?

[DjFree08]

@TheKBOchannel How africans are doing right now is completely irrelevant to the message in the song,

your an example of someone who wouldn't understand - cause what I said clearly flew right over your head.

[DjFree08]

Relate to this.

[breakfastdaynight]

@badman621 *High five*

[ZeroSnakeProductions]

dang... thats deep

[peopleadmire]

DAMN THIS IS SOME DOPE SHIT

[hersheys437]

from 0;00-4;11 is da best

[hersheys437]

this reminds me of 2pac and biggie so much

[ThePunjabdholi123456]

this songs really good but I cant seem to understand the full meaning of this song.. can somebody enlighten me? lol

[2Emos1Razor]

@ThePunjabdholi123456 read the lyrics dumbass

[ThePunjabdholi123456]

@2Emos1Razor i did but i didnt under stand it

[alilpersianpapi7]

*sodemy.. not.. "inside of me"

[2Emos1Razor]

@alilpersianpapi7 It's not "Sodemy" or even the correct spelling (SODOMY), it's INSIDE OF ME retard.

[fikapaburk]

Immortal and Vinnie paz, the real deal

[advantagehiphop]

I gotta say: wow.

I bought this album on its release. but after discovering a wave of artists i kind of forgot about how intense Immortal Technique can be. This song is a perfect example of a real fuckin emcee. enough of these bubble gum tootsie pop fake ass rappers. Time to take back the game!

[billaaaaaa]

wise words.xx

[billaaaaaa]

wise wotds.x

[RedBullRampage2011]

@TheMarbibabi13 , You Never Know

[TheMaribabi18]

im lookin for a song of his were he fell in love with a nice looking girl but i guess she died

[FreSHx91]

@TheMaribabi18

You Never Know

[supersarah10]

@TheMaribabi18

it's called "you never know"

[QafqazWolf]

Sick ass line by IT:

Spiritual celebrity poker

But the whole deck is full of jokers.

[davidXdamico]

on my ipod i have this song and about a minute after it ends you hear green lantern saying: what yu thought it was over? it aint over till we say its over muthafuka! ........

and then theres a "hidden song that plays with like 3 different rappers and i.t. and its not a different song i checked

if anyone knows what it is please tell me casuse i want to find out the lyrics for it please

[AGExOFxREVOLUTIONx]

@davidXdamico rebel arms

[laxnrk93]

@davidXdamico its called rebel arms by immortal technique

[TheDawe]

@davidXdamico its called "rebel arms". here: /watch?v=Dy3HlvJRADg

[Vanareto]

I listen to this song like everyday

thank you

[gnrfreak808]

This is fucking sick.

[bubsbaybee]

LOVE this song!

the start of verse two's like the story of every heart thats been broken.

[footballmonsta18]

Immortal Technique doesnt need no label he created himself and he will be on the radio soon. but he will never sell out. he sells truth thats why he isnt no pussy

[BrutalValor]

Uncommon Valor is better.

[mugge13]

@BrutalValor you can't compare the two songs, uncommon valor is about the horrors of war, while this is about life

[traytard742]

it makes me sick seeing this only has 70k views. this should be one of the most heard songs around the world

[lassie55]

fucking DOPEST TRACK EVER, so ill and so real, loving the flow, metaphors

and sounds really powerful with that instrumental, even people who rap about Real stuff in the UK cannot compare to Immortal Technique, especially in this song,

i like alot of hiphop, Naz, tupac, Mobb Deep, Wu-tang, but this track is almost in in its own genre, goes SUPER HARD

[zavazingo1000]

It`s a Great Song.. and I love it..!! Immortal Technique`s you are the best..!!

[weedolicious]

3:07 "hunters"

[Ivandell100]

@weedolicious right

[gerrardo6]

does this rapper still write songs ? i only heard about him like 2 days ago he is amazing his lyrics are so good and real can someone answer this question and maybe list me some of his newest songs?

[breakfastdaynight]

@gerrardo6 Yes, Immortal Technique still writes songs. He's coming out with his next album "The Middle Passage" in the beginning of 2011 I believe. As far as his newest songs go, the 3rd world mixtape is what you're looking for. However, Revolutionary volumes 1 and 2 are must have albums for any Hip Hop fan.

[2Emos1Razor]

@breakfastdaynight we're now in April 2011 and still no album....

[breakfastdaynight]

@2Emos1Razor Cool story bro.

[2Emos1Razor]

@breakfastdaynight What the fuck is the point of even commenting if you're just going to say "Cool story bro". Do you feel accomplished?

[breakfastdaynight]

@2Emos1Razor Hell yeah.

[TheAsianWorm]

@2Emos1Razor... calm the fuck down, you have not been voiced to call him or infact anyone a retard for spelling a word wrong, or simply suggesting what he/anonymous thought the lyrics were. I have no issue with you correcting his suggestion, but there is no need to do it like that. Also, stop getting menstrual and spewing period juice all over your screen the second someone comments something you dont like - sort your self-security out.

[2Emos1Razor]

@gerrardo6 lol wow

[TheRealAlfy]

I don't like this genre of music that much but this is very real about life and a certain woman I could relate. This song is amazing.

[MrSpartanking2424]

The truth shall set u free. Technique is the underground king.

[HoodRulesApply389]

WONDER WHY ALL DA RAPPERS DONT FUCK WIT MA MAN IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE BKOZ WIT 1 VERSE HE WILL DESTROY THER LIFE

[classicflow1]

BEST FUCKING SONG EVER!!!

[thomm030]

I think I love this song the most of all his tracks, together with Dance with the devil and Leaving the past

[ElixirOfKnowledge]

man if you relate to this and you didnt cry than you aint feelin' shit. . . . "cursing to god, desperately trying to get his attention"....damnn. . . .
