The song written on behalf of a real life situation, Immortal Technique describes a very vivid and graphic story of a man who decided to "dance with the devil" and make a decision that would ultimately change his life. While using a classic west coast style beat, Immortal Technique uses his flows to explain how doing such selfish and spiteful things will eventually land you in a bad place where the devil will grow and linger inside you. Although his friend "William" does not seem so hard around his thugs for friends, he is willing to do anything to make more money and have the respect of his fellow crew members. They then decide to find a random victim, an older woman on her way home from work, and commit forceful sex acts and murder her to test the coldness that William must have to be able to do business with these individuals. As a result of deciding to dance with the devil, Will now changes his fate and realizes that he raped and murdered his own mother and now had successfully changed his fate. He then commits sucide. This has to arguably be one of my most favorite songs that I've heard from a rap artist ever, not only because of its catchy tune, but also the life changing message it sends to indiviuals like me. Although the rap industry is usually associated with illicit behavior and commiting crimes, this song argues in favor of preserving innocence and avoiding the wrong path, because you may never emerge the same again.
I would reccomed any rap fans listen to the heart wrenching lyrics of this song. It can change lives with the terrible descriptions that Immortal Technique describes.
