[00:00.02]Immortal Technique Feat. Maya Azucena - Crimes of the Heart
[00:03.02]
[00:12.56]Immortal Technique:
[00:13.14]Yea I turned 21 in prison locked up at night
[00:16.25]Now I walk around free seems like another life
[00:18.89]Another roll with some other dice
[00:21.15]Another ho or a loving wife
[00:22.89]People come and go some really you never know
[00:25.56]Intellectual midgets that really never grow
[00:28.14]Fake love that holds on like"can I hold you though?"
[00:31.16]And old friends will look at you like "yo, yea I told you so"
[00:33.55]A toast to the broken hearted
[00:35.04]Who never finished what they fuckin started
[00:37.38]People who go out and try to be a rebel at night
[00:40.06]Try to make up for the fact that they settled in life
[00:42.60]It's like a fight between the devil & Christ over the limelight
[00:45.55]Spiritual celebrity boaker
[00:47.52]But the whole deck is full of jokers
[00:49.24]And every year that you get older
[00:51.33]The stakes get higher
[00:52.57]Gambling with a bunch of fakes and liars
[00:54.91]Real talk 'cause the real New York
[00:56.78]Is the pain and the suffering of lost love
[00:59.04]Staring off into the distance in the midst of the club
[01:01.97]Depression and emptiness that lead to suicide
[01:04.61]And the struggle inside of yourself that keeps you alive
[01:07.41]Survived and medicated stalked by sobriety
[01:10.04]The life that you live now tortured by memories violently
[01:12.72]I pray in sodomy that one day you could be forgiven
[01:15.10]For murdering the beautiful world we used to live in
[01:17.99]
[01:18.47]Chorus - Maya Azucena
[01:19.01]Crimes of the heart
[01:29.02]Crimes of the heart
[01:38.52]
[01:38.99]Immortal Technique:
[01:39.51]Love...doesn't need a complicated metaphor
[01:42.56]And sometimes nothing needs to be said at all
[01:45.24]Sometimes a person you with is not your one and only
[01:48.04]And you just fuck with them because you afraid to be lonely
[01:50.68]And when you come back its too late
[01:53.10]So you overcompensate
[01:54.19]Like victims of rape
[01:55.49]Full of self hate
[01:56.26]Lost in the affection to strangers around you
[01:58.27]Instead of the only person that ever gave a fuck about you
[02:01.50]Thought you were happy so you didn't come check me
[02:03.78]But then when he cheated or treated you incorrectly
[02:06.54]You conveniently realized you could never forget me
[02:09.24]And tried to crawl back in my life unexpectedly
[02:11.99]These are my indictments
[02:14.42]Of those who claim to be righteous
[02:16.17]And leave a trail of broken hearts on their way to enlightment
[02:17.65]But I cant give into hatred or pass judgment
[02:20.20]Even towards every allusion I've been in love with
[02:22.69]'cause the heart that portrays itself willingly
[02:25.44]Is like a nation that trades freedom for stability
[02:28.05]Its so seductive to be cold and corrupted and isolated and try to be an independent republic
[02:33.82]But liberty to be loved on the surface is worthless
[02:36.26]The sacrifice of revolution with no purpose
[02:38.88]Take it from a criminal searching for his redemption
[02:41.58]Cursing at God desperately trying to get his attention
[02:44.12]
[02:45.02]Chorus - Maya Azucena
[02:45.52]Crimes of the heart
[02:55.26]Crimes of the heart
[03:05.94]Looking for the shining light
[03:11.74]Who's it gonna be? Who'll walk the line with me tonight?
[03:17.07]Round we go (won't cross?) climbing through the endless night
[03:22.43]Who's it gonna be? Who'll walk the line with me this time? (me this time oooh oooh oooh)
[03:32.65]Climbing through the endless night (endless night, endless night)
[03:42.81]
[03:43.78]End
[03:44.58]
