Jamel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Off the datas, for, my father gonna get home by now
And Uncle Justice, we gotta hurry up
Do this video, Wu-Tang
Yo, I block the bronze, the Kid Golden Arms
I tear by shorty, with the Iron Palm of Dragon Breath
Burn through your body, you see about
Scratchin' the trashboard, lost laws
Of Dragon Breath, is like an Iron fire
Quote getter
I'm a snake cat from way back, that'll snap on y'all eenie
'Cause y'all too wack, and plus I need a snack
This is a dangerous fact, so step back
Before I pull a whole clip in my
Be in subzero, my ice power go like a river
My nigga Tero, I'm all set, with my ice power
Niggaz don't mess with me, I'm the Assassin
AS to a S, AS, IN, you can't mess with me
My praying mantis is deadly, my praying mantis is poisonous
It goes through your bloodstream
It goes through your bloodstream
Everybody go through they bloodstream
My praying mantis is deadly, you end up in a hospital
You better shut up, before I put one
In your praying mantis, man
The lyrics in Jamel's song "The Future" are a combination of different rap styles and themes, ranging from bragging to violence. The first lines mention the Wu-Tang Clan, indicating that the rapper is influenced by their music and style. The following lines demonstrate a sense of urgency, with the mention of getting the video done quickly before Uncle Justice gets impatient. The Kid Golden Arms reference is another homage to the Wu-Tang Clan, specifically to one of its members, who was known by the same name.
The next few lines contain violent imagery, with the Iron Palm of Dragon Breath burning through someone's body. The reference to Gotti, Balardi, and Malatti suggests that the rapper is connected to organized crime or at least admires those who are. The scratching of the table and trashboard indicate that the rapper is also a DJ or has some experience with scratching records.
The next verse continues the theme of violence, with a snake cat that snaps on y'all eenie (meaning anyone who is weak). The reference to subzero and ice power suggests that the rapper is also a fan of the video game Mortal Kombat, which features a character named Sub-Zero who has ice powers. The praying mantis reference further emphasizes the rapper's violent tendencies and suggests that he is not to be messed with.
