Jedi Mind Tricks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the cain' and the raw and the flame on the four
I would never think that you could change to the core
But I seen't it before and it strangled the boy
And I remember that we was workin' hard for the deal
When you givin everything inside ya heart and its real
The only white boy that was sharp for the kill
But Eminem was evidently harboring skill
Are you kidding me literally all the darkness was real
And the sharks in the field make it hard to appeal
The apartment was filled with the dark and the pills
That was just an element that's par for the course
And we signed on the dots and we fought and we lost
And we won when we brought are fuckin guns to the courts
Now me and my two brothers is just one with the boss yeah
Don't ever in ya life play God with me
I'm a seven time rhyme winner you's a nominee
Hit me with a passport stone drugs ornery
Bullets spit fast God, bone thugs harmony
And don't ever question who I'm targeting
It ain't no one specific, this is just a slaughtering
This is just an offering, this is just a torturing
This is just an everyday occurence of the sharpening
This is just a neutron bomb in the palm
I'm a God, I'm the wrong, I'm the calm in the storm
I'm the ever living every single garment is worn
I'm Imam, I'm Islam, I'm the thorn and the horn, baby
I was on the mic, one, two is this thing on?
You was just an asshole, rama lama ding dong
Bullets go forth back back forth ping pong
Vinnie hold arms like a person with a sling on, yeah
The lyrics to Jedi Mind Tricks's song "Destiny Forged in Blood" paint a picture of a gritty and intense reality. The first verse describes a violent and dangerous character who has surprised the singer with a sudden change. The singer recalls working hard for a deal alongside the only white boy who was sharp enough to handle the pressure, but things became darker and more difficult. The images of arson, starvation and drugs are alluded to, along with the sense of being in a struggle, perhaps for power or survival. The singer recounts the moments of fighting and winning battles in court, and now sits with brothers, united as one with the boss.
The second verse continues the atmosphere of intensity and danger. The singer warns others not to play God with him, proclaiming his status as a seven-time rhyme winner. The imagery of bullets and torturing are used as a metaphor for the singer's ability to demolish anyone who questions him. There is a sense of pride and power in the language used, with the singer proclaiming that he is a God, the "calm in the storm," as well as referencing his religion with the phrase "I'm Imam, I'm Islam." The singer mocks someone who is less skilled on the microphone, using the phrase "rama lama ding dong" to represent their lack of talent. The verse ends with an allusion to the singer and their collaborator, Vinnie Paz, holding arms in a show of strength.
Line by Line Meaning
You came thru the door with the chain and the saw
You entered with weapons, projecting a violent persona
And the cain' and the raw and the flame on the four
Your behavior was raw and brutal as you invoked the element of fire
I would never think that you could change to the core
I never expected you to transform so significantly
But I seen't it before and it strangled the boy
However, I have seen others change before and watched the consequences weigh them down
And I remember that we was workin' hard for the deal
I recall the hard work we put in to secure our success
When you givin everything inside ya heart and its real
When you put all your heart into your work and it shows
The only white boy that was sharp for the kill
You were the only Caucasian person in the business world who could compete with the best
But Eminem was evidently harboring skill
Although you were talented, it was clear that Eminem had even greater skill
And the arson was real and the starvin' was real
The destruction and hunger were genuinely felt
Are you kidding me literally all the darkness was real
I'm not joking, the darkness was all too real
And the sharks in the field make it hard to appeal
It's difficult to succeed with so many competitors in the industry
The apartment was filled with the dark and the pills
Our surroundings were full of negative energy and drug use
That was just an element that's par for the course
This type of situation was commonplace for us
And we signed on the dots and we fought and we lost
We signed the contract and worked hard, but still failed
And we won when we brought are fuckin guns to the courts
We only won when we brought legal action against our opposition
Now me and my two brothers is just one with the boss yeah
Now me and my siblings are united with our successful leader
Don't ever in ya life play God with me
Do not ever try to control my life
I'm a seven time rhyme winner you's a nominee
I am an experienced and accomplished rapper, while you are merely a contender
Hit me with a passport stone drugs ornery
Attack me with drugs or other illegal methods
Bullets spit fast God, bone thugs harmony
I can fire bullets rapidly, like a divine force, or the harmony of the rap group Bone Thugs n Harmony
And don't ever question who I'm targeting
Do not question who I am aiming for or what my goals are
It ain't no one specific, this is just a slaughtering
I am not targeting any one person, this is a metaphorical massacre
This is just an offering, this is just a torturing
This is simply an artistic expression, similar to torture
This is just an everyday occurrence of the sharpening
This is just a common event in the process of perfecting my craft
This is just a neutron bomb in the palm
This is like a nuclear bomb in my hands
I'm a God, I'm the wrong, I'm the calm in the storm
I am powerful and can create chaos, but can also bring peace when necessary
I'm the ever living every single garment is worn
I am eternal, and everything I wear becomes fashionable
I'm Imam, I'm Islam, I'm the thorn and the horn, baby
I represent both divine and earthly powers, and can be harmful or protective
I was on the mic, one, two is this thing on?
I am starting a performance, and testing the microphone
You was just an asshole, rama lama ding dong
You were just being obnoxious and irrelevant
Bullets go forth back back forth ping pong
My bullets shoot back and forth, like a game of ping pong
Vinnie hold arms like a person with a sling on, yeah
Vinnie stands with his arms up, like a person wearing a sling

I Who Have Nothing - Dee Daniels - Lyrics
I, I who have nothing
And I, I who have no one
Adore you and want you so
I'm just a no one
With nothing to give you but, oh
I love you
She, she buys you diamonds
Bright, bright sparkling diamonds
But believe me, when I say
She can give you the world
But she'll never love you the way
Oh
I love you
She can take you any place she wants
To fancy clubs and restaurants
But I can only watch you with
My nose pressed up against the window pane
Oh
I, I who have nothing
And I, I who have no one
Must watch you go dancing by
Wrapped in the arms of somebody else
When darling, it's I
Who loves you
Musical Interlude
She can take you any place she wants
To fancy clubs and restaurants
But I can only watch you with
My nose pressed up against the window pane
Oh
I, I who have nothing
And I, I who have no one
Must watch you go dancing by
Wrapped in the arms of somebody else
When darling, it's I
I who really loves you
I really
Really love you
Love you
