On The Eve Of War feat. Gza
Jedi Mind Tricks Lyrics

This is raw, all across the board, Liquid Sword Chamber
My music is unfiltered and intense, inspired by Wu-Tang's Liquid Swords album

If it's coming from my jaw, then it's pure anger
My lyrics are fueled by anger and raw emotion

Heavy metal rap, with a 44 banger
My style is aggressive, like heavy metal music, and I carry a gun for protection

We can settle that, let the mic cord hang ya
We can settle any beef with a rap battle, and whoever loses will be humiliated and exposed

I pay homage to the best of them, like Christopher Wallace
I respect and honor the legacy of great rappers like Notorious B.I.G.

And bring drama to the rest of 'em, with biscuits from coppers
I bring drama to other rappers by using my gun, which has an extended clip (also known as a biscuit)

I'm with the Lord-Justice, and we raw gritty
I am part of a group called Lord-Justice, which represents raw and gritty hip-hop

Picture hell, Philadelphia to New York City
The cities of Philadelphia and New York are synonymous with violence and danger

I brought a four with me, we can capture the ring
I have my gun with me, and we can take over the rap game

And now we more merciless than the Statue of Ming
We are ruthless and unstoppable in our pursuit of success

And ya'll are more purposeless than a pacifist king
Other rappers are weak and lack direction or purpose

You gonna die, like a brawl with a gat in the Bing
If you mess with us, you will die like someone who gets into a fight with a gun in the Bing prison in New York

It's a passionate thing, the way we make classics
We are truly passionate about making classic rap music

Genuine brilliance or innate madness
Our music is either a product of genuine talent or insanity

Yeah, we all spin on the same axis
We are all part of the same movement and share the same values

And this chrome thing here leave your frame backless
My gun will kill you and leave your body slumped and lifeless

The police always trying to aim flame at us
Law enforcement is always targeting us with violence and hostility

So I don't mind when a pig brain splatters
I don't feel any remorse when a police officer dies

I don't mind that we all gonna die soon
I am not afraid of death, which is something we all face eventually

I return to the silence of God's tomb
After I die, I will return to the silence of the grave

There is no escaping once my blade start scraping
Once I start rapping, there is no turning back

My sword indeed make more niggaz bleed
My words have power and can hurt other people

Wanabe of the mc's is shaken
Lesser rappers will be intimidated by my skills

So swift naked eye couldn't record the speed
My rapping is so fast that it seems impossible to keep up

Imagine a rhyme in it's prime from off the baseline
Imagine a perfect verse delivered over a beat

Skyscraper a vertical support the hang time
My rapping can soar like a skyscraper and hang in the air for a long time

Evidence that was left at the scene of the crime
My rhymes will leave a lasting impression and be remembered as evidence of my talent

Trace back to a few from outta group of nine
My success and skill were the result of a group effort with my Wu-Tang brothers

With the footwork of Freddy Adu, its all new
My rapping is fresh and innovative, like Freddy Adu's soccer skills

Now the rap commissioners, they wanna clone my shoe
Other rappers want to copy my style and achieve the same level of success

With the rose now, and its difficult to climb
I have achieved success, but maintaining it is a challenge

With the heat and wind and fallen rocks combined
There are many obstacles and challenges in life that can threaten your success

Its hard to stay alined the course is an obstacle
It is difficult to stay focused and motivated when there are so many distractions and roadblocks

Within each chamber the force it unstoppable
I have an inner strength and power that cannot be defeated

Lyrical swordsman blaze sharp, I'll cut out your heart
I am a skilled rapper who can destroy other rappers with my lyrics

Mc's want no part of any type of conflict
Other rappers are intimidated by my skill and will avoid confrontation

Be 'cause when I respond quick, it gets thick
If other rappers try to start something, I will retaliate quickly and the situation will escalate

The problem goes beyond sick
The issues in the rap game are more serious and complicated than people realize
