    Brooo I had chills go through my body when he said “they killed his son just to get to him at the funeral”. I had a family friend Tito who went through this same exact thing. He was an ex MS member who had left on bad terms. To be specific he was given a hit contract that he fulfilled but when he saw a little girl at the house he couldn’t shoot her so he packed up and left. 5-10years later (I was a kid so I forget how long he was on the run) he’s relocated and dating a friend of my mothers and his grown kids even immigrated here also. His son is still loosely affiliated and he goes on a job and is killed. Tito hears about this and instantly knows they are coming for him. One day after his sons death he’s shopping and sees an old acquaintance who stops to say “hello” he’s trying on boots and tells Tito that he’s looking for new black boots. That he wants them to be nice bc he will be attending another funeral soon. Then he asks Tito if he understands. Basically telling Tito I’ll be wearing new black boots to your funeral. Tito says he understands and he quickly leaves the store with my moms friend. A few weeks later he shot himself in the head in a park here in town bc he was tired of running and knew if he was alive they would keep coming after him, his kids, and his loved ones. Shit was rough. I had completely forgotten until I listened to this. I hope he’s at peace now.

I’m 30 now and this all happened when I was 13 so it’s been quite awhile. Tito wasn’t like a nice guy I mean he was obviously a paid killer but he couldn’t kill an innocent and later in life tried to redeem himself. He sacrificed himself for his family and loved ones. But is that noble or just what a man is supposed to do? Or both? His death left me with many more questions than answers.

His message has been extremely helpful while navigating life & seeing the world for what it is, beyond the white and the black!

I haven’t heard the song in over a decade and with the utmost respect and appreciation to Immortal Technique, would prefer to keep it that way.

    I’m writing a thesis about Immortal Technique & that song. He’s a legenddd
    Update: I’m sorry I don’t have access to my documents anymore I graduated university last year. I appreciate you all wanting to read it 🫶🏽 For context though, I wrote about how Hip Hop culture serves as a historical memory of socio-political phenomena and how it could in turn be used as a catalyst for change. I used Immortal Technique’s ‘Dance with the Devil’ to support my argument. Hope this gives some insight on my essay :)
