And So It Burns
Jedi Mind Tricks Lyrics

You frontin' style to me
You're pretending to be something you're not when you're around me

It's war when the beat drop
Things get intense and aggressive when the music starts playing

Just another mothafucka gonna see pac
You're just another person who's going to suffer violent consequences like Tupac did

You the type that'll run when the heat pop
You're the kind of person who will flee and abandon others when things get dangerous

The type that'll hide a gun when he see cops
You're the type that will hide something incriminating when the police arrive

But not me, I'll aim a thirty-eight at the crown
I am not like you, I will retaliate and aim a gun at your head

Show up the next day at the wake and frown
I will display my lack of remorse and attend your funeral with a serious expression

Yeah, and then I'll laugh at the widow
I will have a cruel sense of humor and find joy in the suffering of others

Then my man stoupe blast through the window
My associate Stoupe will break in through the window with force

Foul when I was young but I survived karma
I have done bad things in the past, but I have not yet faced the consequences

Drop bombs like a be-25 on ya
I will unleash verbal attacks on you with deadly precision

Yeah, it's vietnam in the trenches
The situation is dangerous and chaotic, like being in the middle of a war

Just keep my seat warm on the benches
I am biding my time and waiting for the right moment to act

I run with wild puerto ricans that hit L's
I associate with Puerto Ricans who smoke marijuana cigarettes (L's) and who are unpredictable

And study classical verses by *Big L*
We listen to and analyze rap music from an influential artist (Big L)

We came up in the game at the same time
We all started our careers in the rap industry around the same time

And read one-hundred-fifty rappers with the same rhyme
We are familiar with many rappers who use similar styles and techniques

I'm a motherfuckin' baboon
I am a fierce and aggressive person

Hit you with thirty seven stab wounds
I am capable of inflicting brutal physical harm on someone

Bury your body deep in earth inside a black tomb
I would go to extreme lengths to dispose of a victim's body, even burying them in a hidden location

You scared of the rain, you fear weather
You are easily frightened and lack courage when faced with adversity

I'm hardcore like pall-bearer in sheer terror
I am extremely intense and frightening, like someone who carries a coffin at a funeral

I'll be ready for war with suede timbs on
I am always prepared for conflict, even when dressed casually

Y'all ain't ready to brawl until Vin's gone
My absence is necessary for others to feel confident enough to fight

Won't stop till you dead in hell
I will not cease my violent actions until you are dead and condemned to eternal suffering

Vinnie Paz, mega-child daddy (eh-grendel?)
My name is Vinnie Paz and I am a prolific performer with a lot of offspring (questioning whether this relates to the monster named Grendel in Beowulf)

This bread we fail, yeah, because the beast in all this
We are not successful in our endeavors because we are aggressive and violent

I was rockin' Diadoras while you was eatin' porridge
I have always been stylish and fashionable, even when others were not

I was listenin' to the *Hilltop Hustlers*
I was a fan of a Philadelphia-based hip hop group called the Hilltop Hustlers

While you was duckin from sounds of popped mufflers
While others were busy avoiding danger, I was focused on my interests and hobbies

You was playin' little games with your fathers
You had a sheltered and naive childhood that involved playing with family

I was robbin' mothafuckas for they Starters*
I have a criminal history of stealing clothing items from others

You a novice, and I'm a old vet
You are inexperienced and I am a seasoned veteran

And I was there when the heavens and the globe met
I have been present for significant historical moments and events

You ain't safe if the bomb exists
No one is truly safe in the world if weapons of mass destruction exist

So I side with the Vietnamese communists
I support the political ideology and actions of the communist party in Vietnam

If you wit me mothafucka raise your arm and fist
If you support my views and beliefs, raise your arm and fist in solidarity

And we can bust a fuckin' cap and see if God exists
We can engage in violent behavior and see if there are any divine consequences

I scarred your wrist, with a poisonous rusty razor
I have inflicted harm upon your wrist using a dangerous weapon

If its Jedi Mind Tricks then it must be flavour
If it's our music, then it must be of high quality and unique flavor

And it ain't safe no more
The world has become more dangerous and unstable

Ain't safe in the mothafuckin' place no more
No location is completely safe anymore

Get laced in your upper-body, face and jaw
I will attack you in multiple areas of your body, causing serious injuries

You the type of fagget we ain't got the patience for
You have qualities and behaviors that we cannot tolerate or deal with

We break the law, while we pay our respects to Allah
We break legal rules and regulations, but remain faithful to our religious beliefs

But if it's beef then we be sprayin' your neck with a four
If there is a conflict or challenge, we will use a firearm to attack you

I love to hear the sound of a corpse drop
I derive pleasure from being involved in and hearing about violent deaths

So protect your fuckin' neck like a cough drop
You need to guard your neck and be careful, just like how you would protect a sore throat with a cough drop

I let the four shot, from different latitudes
I will shoot a gun from various angles and positions

So keep it movin' like a bitch that got an attitude
If you don't want to face the consequences of being near me, then move on quickly like someone with a negative attitude
