Jedi Mind Tricks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, ah, it feels so good to be up in here, man
Yeah, JMT, Reef the Lost Cauze, Chief Kamach'
Shit got to change, baby
[Verse 1: Reef the Lost Cauze]
Yo, they put white picket fences on all black houses
Cauze Kilimanjaro, you Brokeback Mountain
I am what I am, without a deal from Reebok
While y'all was poppin' and lockin', doin' the beatbox
I was in the streets, ahk, mean glock tryin' to be 'Pac
Wisdom came in the form of seein' teeth knocked
Great G's shot, tell me when will the beef stop?
I don't think it ever will
That's why I might seem relaxed, dog, but I could never chill
If that shiesty bitch don't kill me, then the cheddar will
You think like a man with no hands, we could never build
I'm from the era where they measured skill
And if you disrespected the mic, then they disrespect your grill
The era was truly gone
But it's 'bout to be resurrected by the Cauze, Kamach' and big Louie Dogs, what?
[Hook: Reef the Lost Cauze]
This is Gutta Music, pull out your gun, start buckin' to it
We just dumbin' it out, but ain't nothin' stupid
Time waits for no man, and such is proven
We keep it fuckin' movin', ain't nothin' to it
This is Gutta Music, pull out your gun, start buckin' to it
We just dumbin' it out, but ain't nothin' stupid
Time waits for no man, and such is proven
We keep it fuckin' movin', ain't nothin' to it
[Verse 2: Chief Kamachi]
Yo, the forty days of wack MC's blown apart
Replenish the earth, last miracle, Noah's Ark
Rep like I own a art, Chief whole zone is dark
They want my mind and birth time so they can clone the chart
Hallelujah, Hell 'll do ya, Messiah spark
Crown ruler, crush medulla's, we quiet hearts
While my slum street angel play a riot harp
Confusin' but amusin' to a mind that's smart
What you expect when you hear the fresh fire start
Black sage, urban monk
Spiritually, you deserve the trunk
I got pistols with crystals, you pussies never heard the pump
Futuristic AK's make turbans jump
Leave bodies on the side 'til the curb is sunk, Deer Hunter
[Hook: Reef the Lost Cauze]
This is Gutta Music, pull out your gun, start buckin' to it

This is Gutta Music, pull out your gun, start buckin' to it
We just dumbin' it out, but ain't nothin' stupid
Time waits for no man, and such is proven
We keep it fuckin' movin', ain't nothin' to it
[Verse 3: Vinnie Paz]
With the Jake I'll never cooperate
A fuckin' vial of hate that God forsake
I'll scar your face, Allahu Akbar, God is great
You an animal that speak with the cops
Bleed the block, Vinnie Pazienza, Reef and Kamach'
I'll feast on the crops, leave your body bleedin' from shots
My stone hands leavin' you with unbelievable knots
A key to the lock, my spiritual is an anomaly
I got the spirit of Bill Hicks inside of me
Military minded, shoot to kill
With the weaponry of Minister Farooq Khalil
It's Lucifer's will, why Abyssinians fail
But Israeli troops 'll storm the Palestinian jails
It ain't like we never lost before
I just think we should externalize the cost of war
I'm like a sorcerer, Black Tibetan monks
Louie Dogs, my thoughts is pure
[Hook: Reef the Lost Cauze]

The lyrics to Jedi Mind Tricks's song Gutta Music speak to the harsh realities of inner-city life and the need to be tough to survive. Reef the Lost Cauze raps about the struggle of living in a neighborhood with gentrification, where white picket fences are put up on black homes. He contrasts his experience with the "pop and lock" culture by highlighting his time in the streets with a gun, trying to emulate Tupac. Despite the violence and danger, the singer emphasizes that he can never chill and be relaxed because of the constant threat of danger.
Chief Kamachi continues the theme of danger, describing the world as a place where wack MCs are destroyed and the police are the enemy. At the same time, he emphasizes spirituality with an allusion to Noah's Ark and references to Black sage and Buddhist monks. The singer also expresses distrust in the government and the desire for rebellion, using vivid imagery of guns and AK-47s. The final verse by Vinnie Paz focuses on military-style aggression, with references to Minister Farooq Khalil and Israeli-Palestinian conflicts. He advocates for the externalization of the cost of war, ultimately expressing his thoughts as pure.
Overall, the song is a critique of the violence and danger inherent in urban life, with a particular focus on the need to be tough and demonstrate aggression to survive. At the same time, the song emphasizes spirituality and rebellion, with a desire to break away from societal norms.

Yeah, ah, it feels so good to be up in here, man
Feeling great to be present here
Yo, they put white picket fences on all black houses
Black houses have white picket fences, implying racial inequality
Cauze Kilimanjaro, you Brokeback Mountain
Mocking someone for their weakness and inconsistency
Since that "Feast" drop, everybody on Shareef jock
Everyone's loving Shareef after his latest album release
I am what I am, without a deal from Reebok
I am successful on my own and don't need any company's support
While y'all was poppin' and lockin', doin' the beatbox
While you were busy dancing and performing, I was working hard
I was in the streets, ahk, mean glock tryin' to be 'Pac
I was trying to follow Tupac's footsteps while facing dangerous situations
Wisdom came in the form of seein' teeth knocked
I learned from seeing violence and suffering
Great G's shot, tell me when will the beef stop?
Questioning when conflicts will end
That's why I might seem relaxed, dog, but I could never chill
I can never relax entirely due to my tough life experiences
If that shiesty bitch don't kill me, then the cheddar will
I might die because of greed or betrayal
I'm from the era where they measured skill
I come from a time when talent was valued more
But it's 'bout to be resurrected by the Cauze, Kamach' and big Louie Dogs, what?
We are going to bring back the real hip-hop through our music
This is Gutta Music, pull out your gun, start buckin' to it
Our music represents violence and street culture
We just dumbin' it out, but ain't nothin' stupid
We are just being ourselves, but we are not foolish
Time waits for no man, and such is proven
Time doesn't stop for anyone, it's a fact
We keep it fuckin' movin', ain't nothin' to it
We keep moving forward, there's nothing to hold us back
Yo, the forty days of wack MC's blown apart
The era of weak rappers is over
Rep like I own a art, Chief whole zone is dark
I own my craft, and my area of expertise is dark and mysterious
They want my mind and birth time so they can clone the chart
People want to copy my success and replicate it
Hallelujah, Hell 'll do ya, Messiah spark
Exclaiming the power of God while threatening others
Crown ruler, crush medulla's, we quiet hearts
We are confident and capable of defeating our enemies
What you expect when you hear the fresh fire start
You should expect greatness when we begin to perform
I got pistols with crystals, you pussies never heard the pump
I have weapons that are powerful and unique, and you have never faced them
Futuristic AK's make turbans jump
My weapons are so advanced that they can defeat even the strongest enemies
Leave bodies on the side 'til the curb is sunk, Deer Hunter
We are capable of destruction and leaving our enemies dead
With the Jake I'll never cooperate
I will never help the police or government
A fuckin' vial of hate that God forsake
I carry a lot of anger and resentment
I'll scar your face, Allahu Akbar, God is great
I will cause you harm in the name of God
You an animal that speak with the cops
You are a coward that collaborates with the police
Bleed the block, Vinnie Pazienza, Reef and Kamach'
We are violent and aggressive, and we will fight anyone
I'll feast on the crops, leave your body bleedin' from shots
I will cause you harm and leave you wounded
My stone hands leavin' you with unbelievable knots
My punches are strong enough to cause severe damage
A key to the lock, my spiritual is an anomaly
I have a unique approach to life and spirituality
I got the spirit of Bill Hicks inside of me
I am inspired by the radical ideas of Bill Hicks
Military minded, shoot to kill
I am always ready for war and will not hesitate to kill
With the weaponry of Minister Farooq Khalil
I have access to dangerous weapons
It's Lucifer's will, why Abyssinians fail
Our problems are caused by Satan's influence
But Israeli troops 'll storm the Palestinian jails
The conflict between Israel and Palestine is ongoing
I just think we should externalize the cost of war
We need to take responsibility for the consequences of our actions
I'm like a sorcerer, Black Tibetan monks
I am skilled and powerful like a wizard or magician
Louie Dogs, my thoughts is pure
My mind is clear and focused

Still one of the dopest albums!
NFSjam
I effing love this tune. As a Norwegian guy, I can just say that here in Norway, "gutta" means "the boys" as in bros/pals except it's pronounced differently.

Chris Gus

Project PinkTubeSox
Stoupe is a God among men honestly. C-Lance is like the second coming 🤣
Nim Rodel
@Project PinkTubeSox nah, Necro is. honestly, i think C has been hugely inspired by Stoupe and works in similiar framework but he is still far away from Stoupe.
