I Against I
Jedi Mind Tricks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In my historical oracle
I blast metaphorical
Editorials educating
In my territorial get torn
Heavily armed with seventy bombs
That'll blast devine like the heavenly song
Your men'll be gone
If they explore my deepest thoughts
I beat hearts in two then ask demons for chalk
I'm dreaming a stalk
MCees in the dark I walk
Blindfolded the mines golded
Watch how you talk
My styles is an art
Recognize lycially purity
All hell breaks loose like a mall with no security
The dopest vocalist
With my third eye, I focus with
I proceed, flow with the speed of an INDY motorist
There's more of this than wasted
Shiny chains and bracelets
I hit tracks my toungue weigh
For the brains to blaze in
Amazin angelic, tell it to your people

Illedelph is like the sun 'cause we shine with rhymes
Underground is like the moon you only see us at times
And at times with light skies when the stars recline
Jedi Mind, outer space, coincide and combine

Illedelph is like the sun 'cause we shine with rhymes
Underground is like the moon you only see us at times
And at times with light skies when the stars recline
Jedi Mind, outer space, coincide and combine

Raw poems, bury your body in catacombs
Rip your soul from your limbs
Like brims from Jip Jones
In the Twilight Zone we disperse cowards
Vampires that stalk earth on reversed hours
Nite cause we talk a different song
My latitude is God darts out my jaw
Leave eternal scars
You left breathing out of tubes
Straws by the marksman, harnessin'
Science for the marvelous and the charlatan
Raps will make your parallax
My domain has power to block synapses I daze
War shots fight of by the army type warlock
Devil's Plan is to have you drip in the Clorox
Beast deceiving us ways devious possessing
My peeps to walk streets with stolen heat like Prometheus
Elements rushin' you back to hell again
Illadelphians crush your skeleton into fuckin' gelatin

Illedelph is like the sun 'cause we shine with rhymes
Underground is like the moon you only see us at times
And at times with light skies when the stars recline
Jedi Mind, outer space, coincide and combine

Don't ever come at me with war
I've severed scores of orators
Rappers fall onto all fours like minotaurs
With Jedi Mind and the planetary be bombin' this
We stayin' one step above you like a pharmacist
With Ominous detonate the bomb
Heads dread hallucinogenics in Vietnam
I spit a psalm create bombs like an Iraqi
Swear on the bible and then lie to Ecclesiastes

Assault and battery

Battle me that'll be what splits you
Store enormous amounts of energy in a crystal
We boa constrict you
The gods are militant
You faggots couldn't go the length
Like you was impotent, you ignorant
Your whole click gets split in half
You step in Allah's path, and face Allah's wrath, what

Illedelph is like the sun 'cause we shine with rhymes
Underground is like the moon you only see us at times
And at times with light skies when the stars recline
Jedi Mind, outer space, coincide and combine

Illedelph is like the sun 'cause we shine with rhymes
Underground is like the moon you only see us at times




And at times with light skies when the stars recline
Jedi Mind, outer space, coincide and combine

[Verse 1: Planetary]
In my historical oracle, I blast metaphorical
Editorials educatin' in my territorial
Get torn, heavily armed with seventy bombs
That'll blast divine like the heavenly psalm
Your men'll be gone if they explore my deepest thought
I beat hearts in two, then ask demons for chalk
I'm dreamin' to stalk emcees in the dark
I walk blindfolded, the mind's golden, watch how you talk
My style is a art, recognize lyrical purity
All hell breaks loose like a mall with no security
The dopest vocalist, with my third eye I focus with
I proceed, flow with the speed of a Indie motorist
There's more to this than wasted shiny chains and bracelets
I hit tracks, my tongue waits for the brains to blaze it
Amazin' angelic, tell it to your people
("Your mic and my mic, come on, yo, no equal")

[Hook]
Illadelph is like the Sun, 'cause we shine with rhymes
The underground is like the Moon: you only see us at times
And at times with light skies when the stars recline
Jedi Mind, Outerspace, coincide and combine

[Verse 2: Jus Allah]
Raw poems, bury your body in catacombs
Rip your soul from your limbs like brims from Jim Jones
In the Twilight Zone we disperse cowards
Vampires that stalk earth on reverse hours
Night calls, we target your facade
My latitude is God, darts out my jaws leave eternal scars
You're left breathin' out of tube straws by the marksmen
Harnessin' science for demolishin' the charlatan
Raps will make you parallax
My domain has power to block synapse inside veins
War shots fired off by the army type warlocks
Devil's plan is to have you drip in the Clorox
Beast deceivin' us, ways devious
Possessin' my peeps to walk streets
With stolen heat, like Prometheus
Elements rushin' you back to hell again
Illadelphians crush your skeleton to fuckin' gelatin

[Hook]
Illadelph is like the Sun, 'cause we shine with rhymes
The underground is like the Moon: you only see us at times
And at times with light skies when the stars recline
Jedi Mind, Outerspace, coincide and combine

[Verse 3: Vinnie Paz]
Don't ever come to me with war
I've severed scores of orators
Rappers fall onto all fours like minotaurs
With Jedi Mind and the Planetary be bombin' this
We stand one step above you like a pharmacist
With Ominous, detonate the bomb
Heads dread hallucinogenics since Vietnam
I spit a psalm, create bombs like an Iraqi
Swear on the Bible and then lie to Ecclesiastes
(Assault and battery)
Battle me, that'll be what splits you
Store enormous amounts of energy in a crystal
We boa constrict you, the gods are militant
You faggots couldn't go the length like you was impotent
You ignorant, your whole clique is split in half
You step in Allah path, and face Allah wrath, what!

[Hook]
Illadelph is like the Sun, 'cause we shine with rhymes
The underground is like the Moon: you only see us at times
And at times with light skies when the stars recline

"In my historical oracle,

Editorials

Get torn

That will blast divine like a heavily song
your men will be gone
If they explore my deepest thought.
I beat hearts in 2 then ask demons for chalk
Im dreaming to stalk
mc's in the dark
I walk
Blindfolded
my minds golden

Recognize lyrical purity
All hell breaks loose like a mall with no security
The dopest vocalist

Proceed flow with the speed of an indy motorist
There is more to this than wasted
Shiny chains and bracelets
I hear tracks my tongue waits
For my tongue to blaze it
Amazing angelic
Tell it to your people..."

Hip Hop cant be dead because Wu-Tang is forever !

@greysoul8109

Hip Hop never died, the real hip hop always stayed underground

@rinochipl4047

JMT is not really underground now. Vinnie is much more popular than before and he popularized JMT and AOTP.
