The Philosophy Of Horror
Jedi Mind Tricks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was Albert Eiensteins mind, I was Italy's fine wine
I was working with God when he defined time
I was there when the guns first let off
There when they cut King Charles head off
There when the CIA battled the crack
And the tradgedy and triumph of Jeranamo Pratt
Punch a faggot til his nose bleed heavy
I merk your wisdom, spit a dart at you to hurt your vision
Put you in the worst position in a turkish prison
Yeah... and my intention is to waste y'all
And cover your body with stitches like a baseball
I fucking lace y'all with the word of the sword
And leaving you bleeding in a ditch while you serving the lord
You deserve to be mauled by an army of bees
Just another faggot dead in his army fatigues
[Vinnie Paz]
Fuck ya crucifix, your religion and its uselessness
Your propaganda is more wickeder than Lucifer's
Islamic scientists predicted the computer chips
I spit a rap at you to rock you like Medusa's lips
You fucking goons are sick, and y'all can see that
and y'all are my sons like Ibrahim and Eshak
So lets take a walk through the trifest town
I'm the divine science of the light and the sound
I'm the sublime giant with the right to the crown
I'm the divine tyrant and I'm striking you down
So I teach my kin to attack the beast
For trying to hide me from the 4th book of Maccabees
You wack MC's catch a hook to the head
Cause y'all don't know about the Tibetan book of the dead
You don't know about anything that's important
About the dead sea scrolls found in Jordan
About the way that you conduct yourself in Satan's wrath
But I don't fuck with you, you walking down the pagan's path
[Vinnie Paz]
I'm a swordsmen, the apocolypse horsemen
What makes me smile is another's misfortune
I like to see your body in flames scortchin'
I like to see a part of your brain auctioned
I like to see inside of your main organs
I like to see inside of your veins pourin'
I find beauty in another's pain
I find beauty in the spirit of god but I don't fuckin' change
I find serenity in torture
My thoughts are too pure for the human mind to author
Its called God Consciousness
Its a level beyond the gods marred thoughtlessness
I stay ready for the combat
While the ignorant praying and they wondering where they god at..
I stay ready for the combat
While the ignorant praying and they wondering where they god at

I was Albert Eiensteins mind, I was Italy's fine wine
I am a genius and a refined being
I was working with God when he defined time
I was present at creation
I was there when the guns first let off
I witnessed the beginning of violence
There when they cut King Charles head off
I witnessed the fall of monarchy
There when the CIA battled the crack
I was present during the crack epidemic and the government's involvement
And the tradgedy and triumph of Jeranamo Pratt
I witnessed both the injustice and triumph of civil rights activism
Punch a faggot til his nose bleed heavy
I violently attack anyone I perceive as weak or different
Dead'em all then I escape in green chevy
I kill indiscriminately and flee the scene
I merk your wisdom, spit a dart at you to hurt your vision
I attack your intelligence and insight
Put you in the worst position in a turkish prison
I subject you to extreme torture and humiliation
Yeah... and my intention is to waste y'all
I want to destroy everything and everyone
And cover your body with stitches like a baseball
I want to disfigure and mutilate you
I fucking lace y'all with the word of the sword
I use my words as a weapon
And leaving you bleeding in a ditch while you serving the lord
I leave you to suffer while you follow a false god
You deserve to be mauled by an army of bees
You deserve extreme and painful punishment
Just another faggot dead in his army fatigues
I hate and dehumanize those in the military
Fuck ya crucifix, your religion and its uselessness
I reject and ridicule Christianity
Your propaganda is more wickeder than Lucifer's
Your beliefs are deceptive and evil
Islamic scientists predicted the computer chips
Scientific advancement is not limited to Western culture
I spit a rap at you to rock you like Medusa's lips
My words have the power to hypnotize and manipulate
You fucking goons are sick, and y'all can see that
You are all misguided and ignorant
and y'all are my sons like Ibrahim and Eshak
I see myself as a father figure to you
So lets take a walk through the trifest town
Let's explore the darkest aspects of society
I'm the divine science of the light and the sound
I am a higher being connected to the universe
I'm the sublime giant with the right to the crown
I am a powerful and deserving ruler
I'm the divine tyrant and I'm striking you down
I have absolute power and will destroy my enemies
So I teach my kin to attack the beast
I encourage violence against those I see as enemies
For trying to hide me from the 4th book of Maccabees
I reject traditional religious texts and seek hidden knowledge
You wack MC's catch a hook to the head
I violently attack other rappers
Cause y'all don't know about the Tibetan book of the dead
I believe in non-Western spiritual teachings
You don't know about anything that's important
Only I possess true knowledge
About the dead sea scrolls found in Jordan
I seek ancient texts for hidden knowledge
About the way that you conduct yourself in Satan's wrath
You are living in sin and will suffer eternal damnation
But I don't fuck with you, you walking down the pagan's path
I reject and distance myself from those who do not share my beliefs
I'm a swordsmen, the apocolypse horsemen
I see myself as a powerful, destructive force
What makes me smile is another's misfortune
I take pleasure in the suffering of others
I like to see your body in flames scortchin'
I enjoy watching people suffer extreme pain
I like to see a part of your brain auctioned
I see value in the destruction of human life
I like to see inside of your main organs
I am fascinated with human anatomy and torture
I like to see inside of your veins pourin'
I take pleasure in causing extreme physical damage
I find beauty in another's pain
I have a twisted sense of aesthetics
I find beauty in the spirit of god but I don't fuckin' change
I see value in spirituality, but I refuse to change my ways
I find serenity in torture
I am at peace when inflicting pain on others
My thoughts are too pure for the human mind to author
My ideas are too advanced for most people to understand
Its called God Consciousness
I believe I am connected to a higher power
Its a level beyond the gods marred thoughtlessness
My understanding of the universe goes beyond traditional religious beliefs
I stay ready for the combat
I am always prepared for violence and conflict
While the ignorant praying and they wondering where they god at..
I view religious people as weak and misguided

I always get a funny feeling like im the only one who feels vinnies pain and rugged truth in each song like he has a way of renouncing truthfully to only one person at a time.

I couldn't tell you how many times I've listened to this track, but I always admired the sound of a gritty Vinnie P and eloquent strings. Found the sample and can fully appreciate what Stoupe has done with it!

That multi-syllable rhyme scheme was beautiful
