Burning the Mirror
Jedi Mind Tricks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm Kool G Rap Kaczynski and God wrapped in one
I keep a stupid bitch around me just to stash the gun
Fuck a crucifix, I'll use it just to stab a nun
What y'all did is incurable to what Paz has done
I'm Black Sabbath, you savages get a lashing tongue
I'm black magic and ravenous, you a passive crumb
I'm a Russian AK and you's a Gatling Gun
I only listen to black metal and rap from Pun
I treat bitches like a jewel thief, smash and run
I write ignorance on loose-leaf, that's for fun
You have the female tendencies of a bastard son
They say it's parts unknown where the assassin's from
Hey yo Jus Allah load the Glock, rob his drums
And tell these sucker motherfuckers that the gods have come
I drink clear liquor all the way to blackened rum
The Glock an icebreaker, I don't mean a pack of gum

[Chorus]
We that hardcore, we that hardbody
Y'all that cardboard, y'all that carbon copy
We Islamic wars, we that godbody
We the Russian AK, we the sawed shotty

We that hardcore, we that hardbody
Y'all that cardboard, y'all that carbon copy
We Islamic wars, we that godbody
We the Russian AK, we the sawed shotty

My baby [?] hung herself, I was way too young to help
It's no way I could've lifted her and strung the belt
Wish she could've gave me something else, cruel summer
But I'm always elated to meet the newcomers
I like to stare at models to compare brothels
Putting air in bottles, sharing pot and Aristotle
With the baddest dime inhaling the [?]
And we don't talk about past times and astral signs
I'm fearless, there's an eeriness to my appearance
I'm experienced in severeness
I'm embellished in devilishness, I'm a detriment to health and wellness
I'm everything selfish and felonious
I'm only aware of unfairness, Islam and Arabic
Nuclear fission bombs and terrorists
More torturers that would know order
I live in close quarters, bodies everywhere
It's an episode of Hoarders





[Chorus]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jedi Mind Tricks's song Burning the Mirror depict a character that combines the personas of rapper Kool G Rap, the Unabomber Ted Kaczynski, and God himself. This character is violent and unapologetically controversial, stating that he keeps a woman around just to stash his gun, and has no qualms about using a crucifix to stab a nun. He takes pride in his black magic and ravenous nature, comparing himself to a Russian AK and boasting that he only listens to black metal and rap from Pun.


The chorus of the song reinforces the idea that the character is hardcore and far above those who are just carbon copies of him. He also touches on personal tragedy, mentioning a baby who hung herself and how he was too young to help. He then goes on to describe his love of models and aristotelian philosophy, as well as his selfish and felonious tendencies. He makes references to Islam, nuclear bombs, and terrorists, painting a picture of a world that is chaotic and full of horrors.


Overall, the song Burning the Mirror is a dark and provocative exploration of a character that embodies both the worst aspects of humanity and a god-like sense of power.

Vinnie most underated..... One of the greatest. Exposing the bullshit going on....

Blodhosta

Vinnie Paz talks about Kaczynski in the song God Bless as well, and for good reason. Regardless of what you think of the bombings, go read his stuff and tell me it doesn't make a lot more sense than you expected. There isn't a more truly revolutionary perspective today—everyone else is just fighting within the technoindustrial system rather than against it.

I wonder if such perspectives are especially alive in Vinnie's own home town of Philadephia because of the spectacle of the MOVE movement back in 1985, when cops basically wiped out their entire block. Look it up if you're unfamiliar with that event. Absolute shitshow.
