tech n9ne-hope for a higher power [EXCLUSIVE 2008]

[lamontmacon]

Worthy

[greenisgreat420]

3) More Murder Rape and Pillage (Deuteronomy 20:10-14) As you approach a town to attack it, first offer its people terms for peace. If they accept your terms and open the gates to you, then all the people inside will serve you in forced labor. But if they refuse to make peace and prepare to fight, you must attack the town. When the LORD your God hands it over to you, kill every man in the town. But you may keep for yourselves all the women, children, livestock, and other plunder.

[AlexOnVinyl]

Here's the beginning part of the song Spoken by Jim Jones:

The world - The Kingdom (of Heaven) suffers violence, and the violent shall take it by force. If we can't live in peace, then let's die in peace. (Applause.)

We've been so betrayed. We have been so terribly betrayed.

So my opinion is that you be kind to children and be kind to seniors and take the potion like they used to take in ancient Greece and step over quietly because we are not committing suicide; it's a revolutionary act.

[lindstromr1]

@njbadapple 100% man

[lindstromr1]

hes talking about how fucked up humans are for believing in a "supreme being" when in the end it comes down to fire power, not a god

[Eatamoe2jenkins]

from

[Eatamoe2jenkins]

@EternalDarkness0,stufu man....this is coming drom a man who's name is eternaldarkness.....stop trying to change everyone's opinion about tech n9ne ok....fuck off...and im christian to

[candypool72]

@Eatamoe2jenkins ha ha your right fool

[eyeamwatching951]

Tech was brought up in a christian home his mom nd aunt took him to church 2 times a week as a kid it wasnt till his mom met his muslim step dad tht he strted comin up with question. He doesnt believe in a god yet but he hopes there is one. Hes only questioning everything cuz man wrote it nd as he says man destroys everything in his path. Everyone has there own belief within beliefs. Eternaldarkness,, one thing,, shut the fuck up nd read about shit before u go sayin dumb ass shit.

[iceman20003]

i wana write a letter to obama if we can live in piece then let us die in piece

[names667]

i feel this way tech is the greatest

[wolfthegunnut]

this song is really deep.

[DSMeTailer]

Hey Adrianna, you sexy beast.

[TGflytimes]

tech is tight but old my uncle use to listin to him

[TheXxdoubleT]

This is REAL SHIT....this is why tech is my favorite artist

[juggalo1ijk]

4:33-4:40 is insane

[Jemishade22]

@flashtastik I know who it is... But can you agree with me?

[Jemishade22]

The intro sounds like a very scratchy adam sandler at some points

[flashtastik]

@Jemishade22 Its Jim Jones. Pay attention to other comments.

[2233wazzup]

i think so? lol

[getumall]

whos the guy in the begining

[smfl439]

@getumall Jim Jones

[newbiesingerrapper]

anyone know all of tech's lyrics.

[Langdell1989]

this sounds like charlie and the chocolate factory

[GavinGill07]

@Langdell1989 Does that make sense to you?

[KanyeezyHipHop]

tech n9ne is the realest

[1M3NDOZA5]

This song iz sick

[GavinGill07]

This is like Tech's crowning jewel.

[mrfuerte100]

god is not a higher power.... the higher power is for people that are free masons or illumunati..

[rlsone100]

the beginning gave me the chills!!! jim jones' voice talkin all that junk to the cult he created. poor people were brainwashed by him to commit suicide and 900 people died believeing his lies.

[The3Answer1]

Go god! lol

[MrImmortaltechnique1]

Can this song possibly be connected with the illuminati or just jim jones hmm?

[TechN9nesSublime]

@MrImmortaltechnique1 No, there was a jim jones excerpt from his final speach after the Soviet Union denied there exodus to Russia. But illuminati wise no, plain and simple, no. It comes down to his inner spiritual conflict.

[twistedmetal99]

4 people dont hope for a higher power

[MCRisextremelygood]

"Right hand on the Bible, left hand on my rifle."

Best line of the song. By the way, to Eternaldarkness, Tech is saying in case a higher power doesn't exist, he has ammo to protect him and his family. He isn't saying there is no God.

[MarvelousProductions]

some of the lyrics are off

[Hirschmann45]

DAM! This song is the shit!!

[ryanluna13]

fuck those 4 ppl that worship satin

[187darknezz]

praise the lord and pass the ammuntion bitch

[oceano420]

TECH N9NE IS SOOOO SAVAGE HE KILLS ALL OTHER RAPPERS, HE HAS THE MOST FLOW IT JUST SOUNDS SO PERFECT HE REALLY IS A GIFTED MOTHER FUCKER!!!!!!

[Thzin1]

@EternalDarkness0: fuck you

[EternalDarkness0]

What a song...This song is the devils work itself.

To make people believe that there is no God? There is certainly a God.

Everything in the bible has happen and will continue to happen. Bible was written by man, but the words written in the bible were given by God.

So for everyone who wants to use "ammo" to protect oneself, you'll see for yourself in the end if you did a right or wrong thing. If there was no God, there would be NO point to live. But there is...I'm am indeed a Christian.

[KingPun]

@EternalDarkness0 Have you listened to the entire song ? obviously you lost the point of the song. Ignorance is bliss I guess. its "Christians" like you that make the rest of us look like hypocritical bigots.

[oceano420]

@EternalDarkness0 you are the most moronic person ever. I really hope that this is a joke and isn't really your point of view. It is funny how much your parents have brainwashed you. You should start thinking for yourself and start talking to some normal fucking people. Isn't having sex before marriage a sin????? Well i BET your DAD DIDNT wait till he married your mom to bang her. I hate all you brainwashed piece of shit, i cant believe you could actually believe that shit!!!

[oceano420]

@EternalDarkness0 

[psychoboy303]

@EternalDarkness0 "they call me devil boy"~~tech n9ne... look it up

[theusedowns]

@EternalDarkness0 ROFL. your a NEEEEERRRRDDD!!!!!!!!

[JOKERPWM]

@EternalDarkness0 if u believe in got dont u think he WOULD want u to live life with or without gods, i see it this way we live life cuz we were made by tiny little cells god didnt make that the nature did and time by time we started developing and transforming into what we are now humans, but if u say that there is no god answer this, what if he wanted u to pass the ammo what if he made u live to see the day of anarchy what tech n9ne says u HAVE to question it, idk what a fucking book says

[skullface405420]

@EternalDarkness0 ahahahahahahaha nobodys got anything against god but this song is just plaintly saying shit happens and you cant count on god to protect you get real

[tommyshea11]

@EternalDarkness0 you lmao you are just soo fucking stupid you dont even understand. how do you know some lil kid just wrote a book and called it the bible and said hey look at this guys this is gunna piss alotta people off. the song "the meaning" is just, you cant count on god to do everything. if there even is a god. he cant jump in front of a guy that has a gun pointed at you. he wont say, hey dude come here get behind me i will protect you. you are just an ignorant self induced FAGG!

[LavLTC]

@EternalDarkness0 If the words were given by God, then the Bible would have been revolutionary even today, but it's not. It's instead riddled with sexism, and the condoning of the patriarchal acts of yesteryear. If you have no "point" to live other than God, then you truly are a sad individual.

[jlangston23]

@LavLTC I think you greatly misunderstand theism, and specifically, religious monotheism.

[Rabidwesmann]

@EternalDarkness0 Someone didn't listen to the whole song.Seriously,reading the title and listening to the first two words isn't listening.I won't explain the song's meaning,seeing as how others have already done that.

[grimreper163]

@EternalDarkness0 did you not even listen to the song he believes in god hes 99% sure he just wants that last percent and dafuq is with your name eternaldarkness thats sounds kinds devilish to me asshole

[Dragonsnogard87]

@EternalDarkness0 im a christian too, but i listened to and READ the lyrics of this song, he never said god doesnt exist, of course he would use a gun to protect himself! what would you do, just walk through the battlefield thinking you'll be perfectly safe? WRONG, god performs MIRACLES, not protection from everything that could hurt you, if he did that, you wouldnt see all these people in the world getting killed, so just stop calling this guy the devil, you stupid fag

[moisesandruffles]

@Dragonsnogard87 Such a great Christian you are. My family is Christian and I am looking for God, but I am not the type of teenager who put his his faith in the Bible. My life is diminished, but dont talk trash over the internet. It baffles me how individuals talk trash yet you see the same from them. I have experienced several strange and awkward events in life.

[daymanjose]

the 4 dislikes only becouse there gay and what to be jumped in the ally cuz they in joy being tuched

[fmf4life]

@daymanjose what the fuck did you just type?

[flawns]

DAM! this is such a sick ass song!!!

the chicks voice is a trip

[dionnus]

i thought the name of this song was called ammo;)

[therealGarageman]

Thats why ur not paid to think! :)

[dionnus]

just stating something that i didnt know. Do you search for comments to reply negatively to in your free time retard. get a life.

[deer0reed]

you guys are talking about nothing!

[ghyprh]

For the slow ones, Tech N9ne went from being pro-christian to becoming agnostic.

[abzz69]

what edsactly is agnostic, is that like atheism?

[ghyprh]

It's in between being religious and atheism.

To sum it up, you never take sides because there's so many different possibilities.

[jgvtc559]

no athiest say that either they are gods they retarded or that there is not any god agnostics dont think about it gnosis is devine knowledge not to be set in the finite

[kace842]

@abzz69 WE believe in a higher power but not a god, Like Religions believe god to be a man, we don't.

[pandahero707]

because Christians are fucking gay

[Tyrome33gh]

@ghyprh your an idiot. no he didnt. im sure you dont actually BUY his albums so maybe you should go out and buy K.O.D. and read the back of the cd, which he wrote a thank you note to Jesus. Dont act like you know what your talking about.

[ghyprh]

@Tyrome33gh

Based off of THIS album, he went full agnostic.

And tf you were even slightly smart, you wouldn't have replied to a comment that came out BEFORE KOD.

[kace842]

@ghyprh and just so you know, the intro of Absolute Power tech says, I've never worshipped the devil. I'm on the cover of ANGHELLIC as an angel with liberate me on my arms. Tech is far from Agnostic, he just has his own way of showing it!

[Fullthrotle9000rpm]

Jesus couldnt of been white.. I find it annoying how they portray him as white even though i am white..

[emericaxskater11]

this is some FUCKIN deep shit!

[ThatUJohnWayne]

Jesus had the skin tone of a Arab, he wasn't Black or White so quit bitching.

[Eastsiderules1]

true true :)

[gesintuviuxas]

where i can download for free this song? :p

[MiniMof0]

Sick song!

[westside159]

man shut your lame ass up Jesus wasnt white everybody knows that . the bible was written by people of color . and its real life like it or not ... get it right soon

[qwckstr12206]

dont b ignorant

jesus was white, dont mean white ppl r better

just he was white.. nothng bad about it

and god i belive has no color, he has a color of his own

[true2KU]

No u dont be ignorant, Jesus was not white. He lived in the middle east for christs sake. They're not white in the middle east.

[Charlie5ene]

wow ur so ignorent jesus had an arab skin tone due to the fact he was born in the middle east of middleastern blood

[xkmkx4xlife]

exactly... thats not white. thats arab.

[kace842]

@qwckstr12206 Prove to me he was white? Show me one person, of INDIAN DESCENT out of the middle east, that's white, just one, and maybe I'll believe you!.

[nixxx00]

Great song, prepare for the worst, hope for the best. Techs' writing ability never ceases to amaze me. 6688846993 WOOT

[alexb6062]

is that your number? man that is sad posting your number on a tech n9ne song

[nixxx00]

You're not serious are you? That's not a phone number. Listen to more Tech N9ne and you'll figure it out.

[kace842]

@alexb6062 6688846993

[Killa913to816City]

Religion is a fake mind controller. You can call me a hippy a conspiricy theroist, but think about it. Non of it makes sense and its just a big contradiction

[rawrrrhoe]

God and the bible was made by man :) sorry to burst your bubble...

PASS THE AMMUNITION!

Mmfwcl<3

[phoenix3156]

[thenortheastjuggalo]

a higher power and god are totally different things shit anything can be someones higher power it's all about faith .

[thenortheastjuggalo]

well think about this how many bibles are writen so your gonna tell me that the new testament bible wasn't written by the white man The king james bible duh think before you wanna talk shit.

[sakoking]

[gzatronn]

@sakoking Maybe is higher Power is Beelzebub

[lrs69er]

if u like tech 9 ur a fag

[deliman1211]

if u look at tech n9ne's videos and tell people who listen to tech n9ne their fags.

ur a fag

[kcdominate09]

This song would've been great for Grand Theft Auto Liberty City Stories

[cassiusnash]

Heero slavery didnt make blacks rich it made them suffer and caused them pain as their families were tourn appart to sell for trade. what makes us fortunate is not the fact that we were brought over here as slaves its the fact that we worked soo hard for our freedom that just further proves that hard work and detication is the true reward not what ur talking about. but I know you were just commenting a racist so no hard feelings

[Millipedecult]

tchya! Tech Tech Nine Nine saw him for free in pullman, wa, he is one of the least materialistic rappers out there.

[kenndawg1987]

right hand on the bible left hand on my rifle best verse yet

[thegat17]

@kenndawg1987 yuhhh

[spiid3r83]

i will protect my family to the death never let one of em get hurt by n e thing

[majde13]

notice at 0:00 to 0:003 he say run away from the song Paint a dark picture

[GoldenGhost42]

can someone explain me what he wants to make clear with this song (my english isn't very good so I don't know what he means with the lyrics)

[miked666x]

tech is talking about how religion is a good set of morals but mans taken it too far. were our own worst enemy and the only true saviour is firepower, guns. this song is based on the belife that doom is comming fast and there is gonna be a war

[Chuco444]

in the song it says "I WILL NEVER FOLLOW THE BELIEFS OF MAN!!! WHY?!?!?! BECAUSE MAN DESTROYS !EVERYTHING! IN HIS PATH!!!..." i believe that this is true the white man killed a lot of native americans and had the africans be slaves the white man did all the races wrong and i should believe the bible when the bible was writen by the white man fuck that

[Hieero]

white men fucked the native americans over and yeah that's true. there's no questioning that. and im not saying slavery was right, but if it made you rich why wouldn't you support it? and white americans weren't even the first ones to adopt black slaves. so you can't neccesarily blame them for it to the full extent. it seems like you just hate white people man. you need to chill and realize facts.

amazing song btw.

[cassiusnash]

to hieero slavery didnt make blacks rich it made them suffer familys were tourn appart and sold. what makes us fortunate is not the fact that we were brought here as slaves but the freedom we worked for that proves that hard work and detication it the true reward not what ur talking about because it makes no sence. but I know you were just commenting on a racist person so no hard feelings.

[SsLiquid]

wow way to turn legitimate lyrics into racist bullshit

[spiid3r83]

True true, cant just except the fact that music is music. These are techs veiws, but relax we all live, we all die, we will all find out for owerself in the end, right?????

[sexysoccerdude11]

I really like the comment "the bible was written by the white man fuck that" considering the Bible was not written by the white man at all. The bible was written in the Middle East and parts of Africa. So, technically, the Bible is the story of the black and middle eastern population. Way to rip on your own people Dumbass!

[austin55928]

whos cares the bible blows

[juandaking93]

lmfao! thats funny, even tho i still believe in the bible and shit.

[JONAHandCHRIS]

fucking faggoot

[gzatronn]

@sexysoccerdude11 I thought the bible fell from the sky (Just like that Coke bottle in the gods must be crazy)... After all it is the word of God

[newknow72]

i honestly think, if we do become infested, its going to start somewhere in highly populated areas, like africa, where all that crap goes untreated, escillates and spreads, or look at china, didnt the swine flu just come from there?.. its deadly, if anything else becomes worse than that, imagine how many people are going to be dumping ammo on others to "fight for their lives"....

[newknow72]

N da 10 plagues, da 5th 1 makes this song make sense 2 me, when he says, . N "5 da living must fight 4 their lives", made da part where he says "1 by 1 N 2 by 2, i have ammo what about U". i picture him living, not infested with anything, dropping religion and dumping ammo on sick (infested) people. People infested to the point where they are "not commiting suicide as a revolutionary act." But commiting suicide to not live infestedly. What good is religion if it cant save u from infestation?
