Fraudulent Cloth
Jedi Mind Tricks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Our friendship seemed to be based on what I could do for you, homie
The sad fact is I'm the type of person that would take two for you, homie
You ever give so much 'till a motherfucker can't give no more?
Give so much of his soul that he feel he can't live no more?
What you want from me?
You want blood from me, want another dub from me, money?
You wanna drain me of every single motherfucking drop of love from me, money?
I can feel the eyes staring at me even when it's dark, even when it's cold
I can feel a lie staring at me even though I'm marked, even though I'm old
Y'all are just some gimme motherfuckers, take more of Vinnie motherfuckers
Never giving back, don't know how to act, just a bunch of shitty motherfuckers
Gradually night goes on, gradually life goes on
It's tearing me apart, never really thought that I'd have to right this wrong
I don't think I'm anti-love, I just think I'm anti-y'all
I just think I'm anti-every motherfucker tryna plan my fall
I was never planning to be great, something that began as a mistake
But me being me, mama always told me I should always share what's on the plate

And just waking up is enough of a struggle today
And most of these phonies that's close to me push me away
But there ain't no reason I'm keeping this enemy deep in my veins
'Cause I love the pain

And just waking up is enough of a struggle, I don't wanna deal with the darkness
Have a motherfucker laid up by himself tryn'a heal from the conflict
Ever have someone close to you tell you that you really can't when you can?
I wouldn't know nothing 'bout that bullshit, and that's the stamp of a man
And the same one who blamed me, the same one who defamed me
Can't make his own cash, can't wipe his own ass like a baby
Everything is past or it's light, everything is passion and hate
Everything is everything and I don't think I need to keep a track of the date
Everybody take what I offer, everybody play like a pauper
The same ones with they hands out be the same ones that hate when I prosper
Tryn'a be a gentleman of sorts, tryn'a be a better man, of course
Tryn'a set a living, understand that I'mma always be a veteran of loss
What's the physiology of love? What's the physiology of pain?
What's the physiology of every single person that will probably get to reign?




I don't like when liberty is wrong, I don't like when misery is gone
I can tell all y'all one thing: all y'all gone' miss me when I'm gone

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Jedi Mind Tricks's song "Fraudulent Cloth" explore the idea of a one-sided friendship where one person gives everything and receives nothing in return. The song's protagonist gives so much of himself that he feels drained and unable to give anymore. He questions what his friend wants from him and suggests that they drain him of every drop of love and money that he has. He feels like he is constantly being stared at and lied to, and he is tired of being taken advantage of by people who don't give back. He admits that he loves the pain that comes with the conflict that he experiences in these relationships.


The second verse suggests that the singer's struggle is ongoing, and he is tired of dealing with the darkness that it brings. He feels like the people close to him push him away despite his best efforts to help them. He questions the physiology of love and pain and wonders what makes people behave the way they do. He feels like he is always going to be a victim of loss, but he is still trying to be a better man and live a fulfilling life despite the setbacks.


The themes of the song touch on the dynamic of one-sided friendships, feeling drained and taken advantage of, and the never-ending struggle to be a better person. The lyrics suggest that these struggles are ongoing and not easily solved.

Has someone ever doubted your ability to succeed or achieve something, even when you know you're capable?

They're incapable of providing for themselves or doing basic tasks on their own without relying on others.

Nothing seems to matter anymore, and even the passage of time is arbitrary and meaningless to me.


Everybody take what I offer, everybody play like a pauper
Everyone only wants to take advantage of what I have to offer, and they pretend to be poor and helpless when it suits them.


The same ones with they hands out be the same ones that hate when I prosper
The people who eagerly accept any help or support I offer are often the same ones who resent me when I find success or happiness.


Tryn'a be a gentleman of sorts, tryn'a be a better man, of course
I'm striving to be a decent and honourable person, even when others around me fail to live up to those same standards.


Tryn'a set a living, understand that I'mma always be a veteran of loss
I'm trying to make a living and succeed, but I know that I've already experienced a lot of loss in my life.


What's the physiology of love? What's the physiology of pain?
What is the scientific explanation for the sensations of love and pain, and how they manifest in the body?


What's the physiology of every single person that will probably get to reign?
What are the underlying factors that determine who will succeed and attain power in society?


I don't like when liberty is wrong, I don't like when misery is gone
I dislike when people's freedoms are threatened or taken away, and I also dislike when people stop caring about those who are suffering.


I can tell all y'all one thing: all y'all gone' miss me when I'm gone
Despite everything, I know that someday people will regret not valuing me or appreciating me while I'm still alive.
