Dance With the Devil Lyrics
Artist(Band):Immortal Technique
[Verse 1]
I once knew a nigga whose real name was William
his primary concern, was making a million
being the illest hustler, that the world ever seen
he used to fuck moviestars and sniff coke in his dreams
a corrupted young mind, at the age of thirteen
nigga never had a father and his mom was a (fiend)
she put the pipe down, but for every year she was sober
her sons heart simultaneously grew colder
he started hanging out selling bags in the projects
checking the young chicks, looking for hit and run prospects
he was fascinated by material objects
but he understood bjkigbh/iuo ,never bought respect
he build a reputation cause he could hustle and steal
but got locked once it didn't hesitate to squeal
so criminals he chilled with didn't think he was real
you see me and niggaz like this have never been equal
I dont project my (insecurities) at other people
he feeded for props like addicts with pipes and needles
so he felt he had to prove to everyone he was evil
a (feeble) minded young man with infinite (potential)
the product of a ghetto breed capatalistic mental
coincidentally dropped out of school to sell weed
dancing with the devil, smoked until his eyes would bleed
but he was sick of selling trees and gave in to his greed
[Hook]
Everyone trying to be trife never face the consequences
you propably only did a month for minor offences
ask a nigga doing life if he had another chance
but then again there's always the wicked (that knew in advance)
dance forever with the devil on a (cold) cell block
but thats what happens when you rape, murder and sell rock
devils used to be gods, angels that fell from the top
there's no diversity because we're burning in the melting pot
[Verse 2]
So Billy started robbing niggaz, anything he could do
he'd get his respect back, in the eyes of his crew
starting fights over little shit, up on the block
stepped up to selling mothers and brothers the crack rock
working overtime for making money for the crack spot
hit the jackpot and wanted to move up to cocaine
for filling the scarface fantasy stuck in his brain
tired of the block niggaz treating him the same
he wanted to be major like the cut throats and the thugs
but when he tried to step to 'em, niggaz showed him no love
they told him any motherfucking coward can sell drugs
any bitch nigga with a gun, can bust slugs
any nigga with a red shirt can front like a blood
even Puffy smoked the motherfucker up in a club
but only a real thug can stab someone till they die
standing in front of them, staring straight into their eyes
Billy realized that these men were well guarded
and they wanted to test him, before business started
suggested raping a bitch to prove he was cold hearted
so now he had a choice between going back to his life
or making money with made men, up in the cife
his dreams about cars and ice, made him agree
a hardcore nigga is all he ever wanted to be
and so he met them friday night at a quarter to three
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
They drove around the projects slow while it was raining
smoking blunts, drinking and joking for entertainment
untill they saw a woman on the street walking alone
three in the morning, coming back from work, on her way home
and so they quietly got out the car and followed her
walking through the projects, the darkness swallowed her
they wrapped her shirt around her head and knocked her onto the floor
this is it kid now you got your chance to be raw
so Billy oaked her up and grapped the chick by the hair
and dragged her into a lobby that had nobody there
she struggled hard but they forced her to go up the stairs
they got to the roof and then held her down on the ground
screaming shut the fuck up and stop moving around
the shirt covered her face, but she screamed and (clawed)
so Billy stomped on the bitch, until he broken her jaw
the dirty bastards knew exactly what they were doing
they kicked her until they cracked her ribs and she stopped moving
blood leaking through the cloth, she cried silently
and then they all proceeded to rape her violently
Billy was (made) to go first, but each of them took a turn
ripping her up, and choking her until her throat burned
a broken jaw mumbled for God but they weren't concerned
when they were done and she was lying bloody, broken and (bruised)
one of them niggaz pulled out a brand new twenty-two
they told him that she was a witness of what she'd gone through
and if he killed her he was guaranteed a spot in the crew
he thought about it for a minute, she was practically dead
and so he leaned over and put the gun right to her head
[Sample from "Survival of the Fittest" by Mobb Deep]
I'm falling and I can't turn back
I'm falling and I can't turn back
[Verse 4]
Right before he pulled the trigger, and ended her life
he thought about the cocaine with the platinum and ice
and he felt strong standing along with his new brothers
cocked the gat to her head, and pulled back the shirt cover
but what he saw made him start the (cringe and stutter)
cuz he was starring into the eyes of his own mother
she looked back at him and cried, cause he had forsaken her
she cried more painfully, than when they were raping her
his whole world stopped, he couldn't even contemplate
his corruption had succesfully changed his fate
and he remembered how his mom used to come home late
working hard for nothing, cause now what was he worth
he turned away from the woman that had once given him birth
and crying out to the sky cause he was lonely and scared
but only the devil responded, cause god wasn't there
and right then he knew what it was to be empty and cold
and so he jumped off the roof and died with no soul
they say death take you to a better place but I doubt it
after that they killed his mother, and never spoke about it
and listen cause the story that I'm telling is true
cuz I was there with Billy Jacobs and I raped his mom too
and now the devil follows me everywhere that I go
infact I'm sure he's standing among one of you at my shows
and every street cypher listening to little thugs flowe
he could be standing right next to you, and you wouldn't know
the devil grows inside the hearts of the selfish and wicked
white, brown, yellow and black colored is not restricted
you have a self destructive destiny when your inflicted
and you'll be one of Gods children and fell from the top
there's no diversity because we're burning in the melting pot
so when the devil wants to dance with you, you better say never
because a dance with the devil might last you forever

Review about Dance With the Devil
Damn..........this song is incredible | Reviewer: James | 2/15/2008Hey,
Im not a big hip hop/rap fan but this song was just brought to my attention and I must say........it is without a doubt one of the most important, moving, tense, deep, well constructed SONGS (as in all songs no matter what what music genre) I have ever heard.
I was speechless, talk about use your ART (I dont consider alot of hip hop to be art these days but this song truelly is) to tell a harsh/true to life story and make a huge point/impact!.........the use of the classical music to soften the undertone and make the message hit even harder!.........genius.
Im currently obtaining a 7 album collection of Technique, cant wait to hear more.
Ohh, and to all who think that he actually was involved........hmmmmm, I dont think there is a person dumb enough in the world to publically admit brutally raping and killing someone........all the police would have to do is look up an un-solved case where a woman was beaten, raped and killed in this way, in the same area...........case solved.
Its just people wanting a fantastical story to fill there boring lives........the real story, and what you should be focussing on is that this did/does happen! and respect Immortal Technique for bringing it to everyones attention.
out of my little sheltered world... | Reviewer: court | 2/12/2008
aw man thats kinda sick. thats really sad...i never knew stuff like that really happens (i dont get out much) first time i heard it i tryed not to cry b/c i was in the car with a bunch of my friends who all heard it before. thats so sad but hes a really good rapper
to that jasmine chick | Reviewer: eddie | 1/10/2008
sorry i didnt make myself clear, but i ment if he openly admits to this in his song like truely and not just rappin, u bet ur ass they'll arrest him. they wont just ignore that shit. shit, they probably did look into it. but i know FOR SURE he never did this he always gets asked and just laughs at the people for being dumb. he wants to show how real the hood can get and is. later. ps thanks for the movie title. i couldnt remember it.
OMG | Reviewer: Aaron | 1/5/2008
Wow about this song HE DIDNT RAPE OR KILL ANYONE!!!! get that in your head he was asked millions of times about Dance with the devil and he stated that the story is true but he had nothing too do with it. Im from harlem and everyone supports his movement IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE ISNT A RAPPER HE'S A POLITICAL LYRICIST! Peace Harlem stand up!
idiots i swear all of u | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/14/2007
first this is a true story u idiots but the part thats not true is immortal technique being in the rapee if u guys even read his interviews he was asked a million times
and everytime he said yeha its a true story but i wasnt in it and if u know immortal technique "" i never make songs to disrespect women " then how can he rape women .. and he was never a big gangster who made alot of money like that crew he was just a normal guy living in harlem read his interviews and stop making up shit from the top of ur heads
True Niggazz....... | Reviewer: Shavancia | 11/27/2007
Diz was a good song he really thought bout his lyrics. He one who don't suga code what he got to say, he let you know how it is. But tell you his mistaks and trying to not get you to make the same ones.
touching | Reviewer: Holly | 11/8/2007
K, well i only heard this song an hour ago and already i love him. The songs so touching and makes you think. He is awsum.
jesus :/ | Reviewer: Jasmine | 11/7/2007
well as for my song review, i believe "dance with the devil" is what put immortal technique on the charts, making him one of the most famous underground rappers with due credit. Currently im attending a university in upstate ny where 90% of the students are caucasian kids from the suburbs of suburbs that listen to heavy metal or janis joplin- which is fine, ofcourse. However, being from the city, their ignorance-at times, is VERY annoying. We have an english project where we must all review a song and explain its depth and content. EVERYONE in my class brought in some alternative, weird shit and all somehow mentioned how crappy rap music is, which a lot of it these days is trash. I do agree with their statements, however i felt i had to make a statement about hip hop, even though i am not a huge rap fan myself. It says a lot that the most meaningful and interesting rap song i could think of was "dance with the devil".
my critiques on critiques:
ummm as i can see vanessa is public enemy number one...and perhaps she might be one of the dickheads in my english class :/ i leave no comments about her.
As for eddie...this COULD be a true story- hypothetically if it were, he could still rap about it if he wanted to. A lot of ppl from the hood rape, kill, and never get caught...and even if he did it, the cops could not arrest him because of a rap song, because as we see- it may be fictional.
Just stopping through on this random morning to speak my mind...and btw ppl, u should listen to "freedom of speech" its a good one... and another person asked where the music from this song came from...im not exactly sure but its the theme to a movie called "love story" so im sure that info will help- peace.
dace withe the devil is the bomb | Reviewer: michael | 11/4/2007
my review is that im wondering that if they might come out witha other song dance with the devil was a hit but i want somthing that better 911 taht one to tahats a good song that the best ben ladin didnt blow up the projects it was u nigga till the truth nigga
oh and another thing | Reviewer: eddie | 10/21/2007
i still dont see why u people think it realy happend. if u were a real technique fan that would have been the first thing u would have looked up about him. i mean ya he went to jail for a while. but at the end of the song he said the killed the bitch. i dont know about u, but where im from (earth) raping is a human right violation alone and would be life in prison, then u have murder. ya im sure even u guys know thats a human right violation too, hence LIFE! so im sure he wouldnt be rappin abou it if true.
