Imperial Tyranny
Jedi Mind Tricks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm a thief, I don't read the fucking classifieds
I like beef, I don't chitchat and fraternize
With police, pastors, or rabbis
I'm one of the bad guys, I never apologize
I don't just walk around with rocks and pocketknives
When it comes to homicide I'm not occupied
Murder's like oxygen to carbon dioxide
My enemies take a lot of time and energy
When I'm not shooting I get iron deficiency
And I don't wanna have the guys look at me differently
I would rather have a gun than an epiphany
Can't really rely on tricks and wizardry
When I get irrational, that'll be practical
Niggas don't believe shit it's serendipity
[Chorus]
Southpaw verbal jabs to the mouth y'all
Turn the other way 'cause you wants no part of that
Southpaw verbal jabs to the mouth y'all
Turn the other way 'cause you wants no part of that
Southpaw verbal jabs to the mouth y'all
Turn the other way 'cause you wants no part of that
Southpaw verbal jabs to the mouth y'all
Turn the other way 'cause you wants no part of that
Y'all in the presence of divine science
We don't subscribe to y'all theory of non-violence
I rule with an iron fist, I define tyrants
I went down the wrong path, that's despite guidance
Yeah and y'all are soon to bleed
And I'm from the house of wisdom Haroon Rashid
A goon indeed, ras-clat, Junior Reid
Y'all overstayed y'all welcome, y'all refused to leave
Refuse to see that the universe is deathless
I define rhyme with divine mind efforts
It's grind time, I design rhyme methods
It's high time y'all enshrine my records
And I don't know why y'all would fuck with the team
That's like standing on the block with no junk for the fiends
Pazienza is in love with the deen
I would jump in front of bullets, shed fucking blood for my team
[Chorus]
Turn the other way cause you wants no part of that
Turn the other way cause you wants no part of that
Turn the other way cause you wants no part of that
Turn the other way cause you wants no part of that
I know what violence begets, timeless regrets
Silently sweat bullets when you ride for respect
Rivalry met with the vibe you'd expect
Four-pounder makes you flounder only live on the net
You know the Internet thuggery, Internet fuck with me
Long enough to see my company sucker-free luckily
Paz heard me then scooped me, spaz early [?]
Clash [?] smash [?]
The last rapper to move me Ras Kass what he doing
Rap after the blood bath having a movie
Gats strapped to my blue jeans, [?]
Backpackers with Uzis, Black Sabbath and Kool G
Point made like I'm sharper than the shit
Stab wound where you think you sharper than you is
Charlotte's Web with the kids, only time we talk to pigs
I ain't talking courage when I say you getting jigged
[Chorus]
'Cause you wants no part of that
'Cause you wants no part of that
'Cause you wants no part of that
'Cause you wants no part of that
The lyrics of "Imperial Tyranny" by Jedi Mind Tricks convey a sense of rebellion and disdain for authority. The singer clearly sees himself as a bad guy, uninterested in typical societal norms such as reading classified ads or fraternizing with certain figures like police, pastors, or rabbis. He also seems to have a nihilistic view of murder, seeing it as just another natural part of life. The chorus, with its repetitions of "Southpaw verbal jabs to the mouth y'all" and "turn the other way 'cause you wants no part of that," makes it clear that the singer believes his brand of violence and aggression is not for everyone.
The second verse continues in much the same vein, with the singer boasting of his violent tendencies and his loyalty to his team. He claims to "rule with an iron fist" and "define tyrants," indicating that he sees his own brand of authority as superior to that of traditional leaders. The line "silently sweat bullets when you ride for respect" suggests that he knows the risks of his lifestyle, but is willing to take them in order to gain respect and power. Overall, the lyrics of "Imperial Tyranny" are a dark and violent commentary on rebellion and societal norms.

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
