Beyond the Gates of Hell
Jedi Mind Tricks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Leave you, stretched on the sket, in Bedford-Stuy
With a, lead to eject, but I bet it's I
Did that, like a rat, you testify
Niggaz like what's the matter with Sean?
I'm like nothing, just thinkin' of a verse
That can shatter the song, foreign bitches
Stay in the country, so I married the mob
Don, thirty-two, but the game is 12
And the fifth for these funny niggaz; Dave Chappelle
When Run-DMC was fuckin' Raising Hell
I was on the run from d's, these raised in hell
Kinda broke, couldn't raise the bell
Caught by many, broke two fuckin' arms, son, engage for bail
Beat the case, got my big gauge, back as well
With rap, you can sing such amazing tales, nigga
Ya'll niggaz bust my web, heat pop
Niggaz cut ya dreads, 'cause ya'll scared
Rockin' and rollin', guns and roses
Pockets is swollen, son is holding
Sean P, I'm the master of ceremony
That's blastin' at every phony ass rapper that ever know me
Niggaz act like they ready for war
Get slapped with the tool, wake up bitch, get ready for school, one
[Chorus 2X: Vinnie Paz]
We in this game for the money and the long life
Whether we battle with the gats or it's all mics
We can rumble with the bats or the long pipes
Vinnie Paz, it's a wrap, with Sean Price
[Vinnie Paz]
I'm more powerful than Gargamel, guard ya grill
And you'll be starved and killed
It's hard to build, when God revel
That you eat lard for meals
So as the saga builds, we need raw shit
We need EPMD to drop more shit
The hardcore shit, bang out, bust a gat
The '84 shit, how they now hustle crackc
We build and we destroy until the sun rock
Until we hear the sounds of the last gun shot
But I'mma ride until the wheels falls off
Til the high in these last few pills wear off
You failed with frost, pussy rap, filled and crossed
Sellin' bags of that raw shit filled with salt
I kill ya thoughts, with a nine MA eagle
Make me sick to my stomach, like ya'll gay people
I'mma slay evil, that's what Allah likes
Vinnie Paz, Jedi Mind Tricks, Sean Price

Line by Line Meaning
Yes, just infest, the best is I
I am the best rapper and I dominate the competition
Leave you, stretched on the sket, in Bedford-Stuy
I will leave you beaten and injured in the rough area of Bedford-Stuyvesant
With a, lead to eject, but I bet it's I
I have a gun to shoot you with, and I am confident that I will win
Did that, like a rat, you testify
I will make you confess like a snitch and betray your own kind
Niggaz like what's the matter with Sean?
People ask what's wrong with me
I'm like nothing, just thinkin' of a verse
I'm just thinking of some lyrics to rap
That can shatter the song, foreign bitches
My lyrics are so good, they can break the whole song and impress foreign women
Know the stamina strong, 20 g's for the pictures
I have a lot of energy and can perform well, and I get paid well for my photos
Stay in the country, so I married the mob
I stay in the country and work with the mafia
Don, thirty-two, but the game is 12
I am a boss at the age of 32, but the game is only at its beginning stage
And the fifth for these funny niggaz; Dave Chappelle
I will shoot these funny people who think they can play with me like Dave Chappelle
When Run-DMC was fuckin' Raising Hell
I was around when the famous rap group Run-DMC was performing their album Raising Hell
I was on the run from d's, these raised in hell
I was running from the police, who are as evil as hell
Kinda broke, couldn't raise the bell
I was poor and could not afford anything
Caught by many, broke two fuckin' arms, son, engage for bail
I was caught by many people and even broke my arms while trying to escape, and had to pay for bail
Beat the case, got my big gauge, back as well
I won the case and got my gun back too
With rap, you can sing such amazing tales, nigga
Rap allows us to tell fascinating stories
Ya'll niggaz bust my web, heat pop
You guys are trying to mess with my plans and make things worse
Niggaz cut ya dreads, 'cause ya'll scared
You guys are so scared that even your dreads are being cut
Rockin' and rollin', guns and roses
We are living fast-paced lives, full of guns and violence
Pockets is swollen, son is holding
We have a lot of money and are carrying guns
Sean P, I'm the master of ceremony
I am the best rapper and control the stage
That's blastin' at every phony ass rapper that ever know me
I am calling out fake rappers who try to be like me
Niggaz act like they ready for war
People pretend like they are ready for war
Get slapped with the tool, wake up bitch, get ready for school, one
I will hit you with my gun and make you realize that you are not ready for real war
We in this game for the money and the long life
We are in the rap game for financial gain and longevity
Whether we battle with the gats or it's all mics
We can either have rap battles or use guns to settle our problems
We can rumble with the bats or the long pipes
We can fight with baseball bats or long guns
Vinnie Paz, it's a wrap, with Sean Price
Our performance is complete and we have done our best
I'm more powerful than Gargamel, guard ya grill
I am more powerful than the character Gargamel from the cartoon Smurfs, so you should beware
And you'll be starved and killed
You will suffer and die if you mess with me
It's hard to build, when God revel
It is difficult to succeed when God is against you
That you eat lard for meals
You are so poor that you have to eat cheap and unhealthy food
So as the saga builds, we need raw shit
As the story develops, we need to bring our real and authentic selves
We need EPMD to drop more shit
We want the rap group EPMD to produce more music
The hardcore shit, bang out, bust a gat
We need more hardcore rap with guns and violence
The '84 shit, how they now hustle crack
We reminisce about the days of 1984 and how people were selling crack
We build and we destroy until the sun rock
We create and destroy until the end of time
Until we hear the sounds of the last gun shot
Until the very end when the last shot is fired
But I'mma ride until the wheels falls off
I will continue to do this until the very end
Til the high in these last few pills wear off
Until I am no longer high on drugs
You failed with frost, pussy rap, filled and crossed
You have failed with your smooth and weak rap, and have been defeated
Sellin' bags of that raw shit filled with salt
You are selling fake drugs that are worthless
I kill ya thoughts, with a nine MA eagle
I will destroy your thoughts and ideas with my powerful gun
Make me sick to my stomach, like ya'll gay people
You disgust me like gay people make me sick
I'mma slay evil, that's what Allah likes
I will conquer evil, and that is what Allah wants
Vinnie Paz, Jedi Mind Tricks, Sean Price
We are Vinnie Paz, Jedi Mind Tricks, and Sean Price - the best rap group out there
