I'm not Muslim, but every time Brother Ali says "We just want to touch our heads to the floor and talk to God" I get tears in my eyes. I'm a black woman but I won't turn my eyes from any people who are victims of systemic hatred. Whoever you are, never forget: your empathy, the pain you feel for yourself and everyone like you, is what separates you from those who would do harm. I know it hurts. But if these lyrics show us anything, it's that the ability to vulnerable has tremendous power. Only fools see it as weakness. They just lack the courage to wield it. Be at peace, friend. You're not alone.

It's been 10 years... The world NEEDS a new Technique album.

That Brother Ali verse will forever remain one of the most heartfelt verses I've ever listened to.

"So certainly if I rage against the machine my aim was only to clean the germs out of the circuitry." - Brother Ali God damn what a line.

Underrated and looked on as "gangster" .. people dont listen to lyrics anymore. Peace and love to the real heads no matter your color or religion

This song hits hard. We aren’t in a race struggle, but a class struggle instead. Change is a challenge since the sights have been shifted

I legit get chills listening to this song. It is the embodiment of free speech, hip hop, counter culture and activism. This is what I look for in music. All substance.

"If we really run the streets we should really end war." Nailed it!!!

Dope message and song. Solidarity with all my working class brothers and sisters regardless of your race or religion I support your proletarian revolution. We may have our differences but when together we are the greatest power. Remember that always.

Classism is the real problem don't let them put us against each other.. All under the stars are woven together like a blanket ... white, black, Latino , Asian, native unite against the corrupt politicians

The last line of the whole track, which was Brother Ali was the realest of entire song. ~The moment you refuse the human rights of just a few, what happens when that few includes you~

Bro, Brother Ali really killed it. This 3rd verse is a masterpiece.

Props to chuck D, immortal technique, killer mike and brother Ali This classic hit is timeless

I love how you get three perspectives on the same reality. Immortal technique beautifully describes a righteous anger. Killer Mike hits it from a pragmatic perspective. Brother Ali comes from a spiritual perspective.

“We are sorry for the inconvenience, but this is a revolution.” ― Subcomandante Marcos

that part with Brother Ali is genius lyrics.Everything in one package .

This society doesn’t deserve rappers like immortal He is another level

I've always remembered Brother Ali's verse the most. I think his perspective here is just true clarity

Its crazy how many people come back to this everyday... this song is masterpiece!!!!

"More than racism, it's stay in your place-ism, more people are trapped in practical black face-ism" That's one of the best lines in rap history.

My heart is trembling upon Ali’s verses of truth

Rappers need to come out with more socially conscious HipHop like this one to inspire the masses‼️

The best thing about Brother Ali's part, is not his words (and they're the best I've ever seen). But it was his tone and how he executed it. I could sense fear and hurt when he went through his lines. It was as intimate as one can get on the subject matter. This has become one of my favorite songs and I already loved Killer Mike but now that I've been introduced to IT and Brother Ali, I'm hooked for life.

This is one of the greatest and most important songs ever written.

" We believe in freedom, justice..security, but they're only pure when they're applied universally/ so certainly if I rage against the machine, my aim was only to clean the germs out if the circuitry " One of the best lines I've ever heard.

THIS NEEDS TO BE RE-RELEASED AND RE-UPLOADED RIGHT DAMN NOW 2020

This song becomes more and more relevant as the years go by.

"So, certainly if I rage against the machine, my aim was only to clean the germs out of the circuitry!" What a great line!

"Ask him to remove every blemish from our heart The greatest threat of harm doesn't come from any bomb The moment you refuse the human rights for just a few What happens when that few includes you?" Damn, that's deep

Mumble rappers pay attention... It's called substance!

Brother Ali's verse... the lyrics and delivery make my eyes get hot every time. The love and sincerity in his voice can't be feigned. Combined all that with these comments, and this wins the internet for me. All of the love

Man, that last verse is so powerful. How eloquent and emotionally descriptive is that!! Even all these years later it is still absolutely relevant to the world we live in. So called "enemies" change, but we know the aggressor stays the same!!

Amen brothers.... " If a law is unjust it is your obligation to break it " Thomas Jefferson

gotta respect the mind of Immortal Technique.

Every verse to this song killed it!!!!! They all killed that so hard.this is so real and beautiful

This song literally brought a tear to my eye. Thats some deep real shit 100%. The last line of this track really hit home. Excellent track my friend. Keep em coming

“one of the most common tendencies of human nature is that of placing responsibility on some external agency for sins we have committed or mistakes we have made.” MLK

“Pacifying your citizenry with excess” 👌

The struggle has never been greater then right now.

So an Indigenous, an African American, & an albino Muslim walk into a bar... what happened next changed the world as we see it forever, & was never the same since. 🔥🔥🔥

If you watch a interview with Immortal, when he speaks you would think he's a professor of world history. This guy is highly intelligent and has a very sound understanding of the truths of the world. I learn more historical facts by listening to his music and interviews than any of the altered shit they tried teaching(programming) me in school.

every time I hear this song. Brother Ali gives me goosebumps at the end.

As a Christian man I say amen brother Ali!

It is always remarkable to me that the light of the truth will always find a crack in the walls, of the mental bondage that all Americans are subjected too, to shine through brightly! Much respect for the TRUTH!

Brother Ali just destroyed everything.

Brother Ali is so slept on. The message he's pushing is so important, and those lyrics... " we believe in freedom justice, security , but they are only pure when they're applied universally , certainly if I Rage Against the Machine my aim is only to clean the germs out of the circuitry ". You know exactly what he's saying yet you could dissect it a million different ways. That line is in the top twenty of all time for me. Maybe top ten. A rapper's message is important to me and brother Ali just embodies everything good, everything positive about a message that could be pushed. It might sound cliche but immortal technique, brother Ali, or people like this are saints, or chosen ones, etc. The type of people who long ago in the past were shamans, or priests, or rabbis, etcetera. I'm not saying they're perfect, or are any better than any of us. They're more in tune that they're alive to have a voice. We're not free, and we have no real say. We're going down a dark road and being told we're in the drivers seat. We need to get this world back into the light of love and compassion. We we all need to realize that most of us want the same things. We need to start working together so we can make the world a better place cuz we have the means to. We have the motive, but those positive changes can't be made because they stand to take away from the people and systems already in power.love you all.. They're pushing a black white divide hard nowadays, and manufacturing outrage. That's why people like George Soros fund black lives matter . You think that demon cares about you? Fuck no there's a bigger picture. Its divide and conquer or my enemies enemies is my friend. The people at the top and run the show, yeah most of them have white skin, but not all of them. They're Saudis, Hispanics, Asian branches. They all set aside they're differences long ago, and they're stirring the pot to make sure we never come together. There's is race targeted oppression... But thats because hella white are asleep and fully trust their government, hella minorities. Whites had/ have more or less showed they'll go with flow and be good little boys, where minorities of all types rebel, come together, and have more reasons to do these things. They're more scared of us/y'all. I say us/y'all cause in this life I am a white man, but I remember two past, lives one of which I was an African. Believe me or dont and i dont blame you if you dont. I cant give you my experience, and I feel guilty I got these experiences. I'm proud of what my people of that life have become. Hate how we got here, but proud none the less. I can't wait for the day, we all start having epiphanies and realizing what we are and what we're doing here. Sincerely, love you all

We need an actual People’s Army

Why this doesn't get millions of likes is beyond me. Thank you all for putting the truth out there.

BROTHA ALI KILLED IT!!!

Wowww... been a fan of immortal technique & brother Ali for roughly a decade, yet i hadn't heard this song until 5min ago...great collaboration. All artists on this track shed some light on truths tho.. damn...

Brother Ali's verse reminded me of this poem First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out- Because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out- Because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out- Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me-and there was no one left to speak for me. Thank you for speaking.

One legend and two future legends right here. This joint is hard as Hell. 💯

This type of rap is the climate of this genre

Jesus, I got tears from MLK's speech. So fearless individual.

"If we really run the streets, we should really end war" speak.

Who’s still listening to this in 2021

killer mike got a dope style

Solidarity with all true protesters across the US

Brother Ali... SubhanAllah.

My heart still breaks every single time I listen to this piece of genius!

Chuck D on the hook was great

My life is dedicated to the fallen heroes and the preservation of those that haven't left their souls filthy. Now for about the 100th time i will sit silently and honor these men and women who gave their lives in the hope of setting free the slaves of this world.

Martin Luthor King A real MAN for all time. May he rest in peace.

Dam! We need more of this though. Our civil leaders don’t work for us. Our true leadership comes from the ground up, not the top down.

The world needs this message more than ever. Let us untie family. Peace Love

Immortal technique is one of the greatest heroes of all time proof that you can always make it, the fact that he got everything together while in prison and came out a boss... man is truly an inspiration. Nothing but respect

MLK's speeches always bring a tear to my eye. Seeing him seemingly hold back tears while addressing his people, knowing that he is in incredible danger every day of his life, but supressing any feelings that come along with it. His work is not finished. I only hope I'll live to see the day when it is, and that I'll be a part of it, no matter how big or small. We can fix everything, and we have to, otherwise the cycle will never end, the pain caused by America needs to be paid back, with as little bloodshed as possible to show that we can be better. Humanity does not have to be a parasite to the earth and all of its creatures. We can fix everything, I really believe that.

Don't let rich seperate poor more. Peace to all people.

"What happens when that few includes you... " Love IT.

This track is 🔥🔥🔥. The message was on point!!!

Hey Tom, I appreciate you for sharing this great video. thank you so much, you have a great day.

I haven't listened to Brother Ali since maybe 2013, but he brought the fire verse.

We need a part 2 more than ever.

Easily one of the greatest raps ever. Every bar is just absolute fire. No weakness at all. Shit goes hard from start to finish.

I always get goosebumps with Ali last verse...

MLK was such an amazing speaker give me chills how amazing and powerful that man sounded✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿

THIS SONG IS WORTH LISTENING TO

Fear nothing! Thats freedom!

Brilliant song. Powerful message 🙌

“Certainly if I rage against the machine my aim was only to clean the germs out of the circuitry” is the hardest fuckin bar in history.

Immortal technique where you at?!?!?! Your political angle is needed and I want it to be heard!! Come on homie!

This is the message all citizens of the U.S. need to hear and understand and take on board.

What happens if that few includes you... Civil war. This line shakes my soul everytime, because it was always my thought, we have to protect each other no matter where we're from or how we look. All we have is each other at this point. If it can happen to you, it could happen to me too. So that should be enough reason to stand up and protect each other! Much love to you all I pray for the world

*For the soul of a Nation we fight for the Future of our Civilization* 😶🍿 God Bless them All

Never in history has your music had more merit, technique, love you bro.

This group should put out an album!!! 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

listening to this song sporadically for about 4 years now; still the last verse by Brother Ali makes the hair on my arms leave my skin, like I have been electrocuted. It is insane what intensity the last lines are able to uphold.

One of the greatest American songs (about America) in the history of music

Homie sounds like Ice cube. The lyrics are what make ANY song worth it’s weight in gold. Beats are good for the trunk. Words feed the mental and empower. Fkn spot on 💯

Just discovered these cats, they come with truths, and relevant social commentary. And the beats are on point👊✌.

HITS EVEN HARDER NOW

Brilliant... A+ art. You guys are men of honour. Massivé respect

One of the most powerful songs about todays world

I individually rock with all these artist so why am I just now coming across this.

I get chills everytime i hear Malcolms speech

I have dreamt about this collaboration.

"" STAY IN PLACISM""
