Jedi Mind Tricks
My man Stoup holdin' me down
Yea yea
It's been five years since you've been locked in the PEN
And not to mention all the fuckin drama it bring
You always in my heart and that's a BEAUTIFUL thing
But that's sum wild shit to do to a king
And maybe some day I'll get used to the sting
For now I'll been thinkin about you everyday
And how we use to dumb out in everyway
Brought a smile to my face on my hardest of days
And praying that your mother and your father can raise
Your little brother into a man one day
I'll stay in touch with him so the plan won't stray
But don't you worry about your little brother, he fine
He smart with a heart and he steadily shine
And if the little soulja ever step outta line
You know I'm gonna be there to show him the time
So what the deal cuzin how it feel right now
I'll be there soon so just chill right now
Whas the deal cuzin how you feel right now
I'll be there soon so just chill right now
Yea it's Vinnie Paz, you know I'm sayin, Jedi Mind I'm holdin' you down baby
I'd rather walk these hollow grounds wit a glock or four pounds
Police lookin over my back with a glock it's low down
Wit a clock that slows down, it shoots flock wit no sound
And I'm carried away on my back like a stone popper party
Lyin' til' my soul hurts (soul hurts)
Mad as fuck scared and stuck, I can't control earth
Surrounded feelin like a cold hearse wanting to fold first
I thank my peeps every day becuz they chose birth
I'm totally grateful, at times I act hateful
Ya'll wish ya'll feed over me to reside in a gold cradle
Brown paper bag living in the latest whips
Trips to Ep Cops Centre in the space and shit
Always reminisce about the shit you laced us with
Always the street legend to the bravest cliques
And now I see niggaz gettin, it makes me sick
The same shit that could've made us rich, made us snitch
Divide the men from the boys see what makes them bitch
To watch mothers lovin' struggles just to raise their kids
Soar my mind every time that I raise this fifth
And drink the bottle til' it's hollow and it all makes sense
Get it right, blood is thicker than water, could never shit on my peeps

The song "The Rage of Angels" by Jedi Mind Tricks & Crypt the Warchild is a heartfelt letter from Vinnie Paz to his incarcerated cousin. The lyrics reflect on the pain caused by his cousin's imprisonment and speak to the strength of their familial bond. The song opens up with Vinnie rapping about the five years his cousin has been in prison, and how he thinks about him every day. He compares his cousin's energy to that of warm air flowing from a beautiful spring. While the sting of the imprisonment is still fresh for Vinnie, he takes solace in the fact that his cousin will someday be reunited with his family. Vinnie also acknowledges the pain that his cousin's absence must be causing his parents and younger brother. He promises to stay in touch and support his cousin's brother to ensure that he grows up to be a responsible man.
In the second verse, Vinnie shifts the focus to himself and his own struggles. He talks about how he'd rather walk with a glock or four pounds in a violent world where the police are always watching. He paints a picture of feeling stuck and surrounded, unable to control his environment. Despite the hardships, Vinnie is grateful for his friends and loved ones who support him. He acknowledges the role they played in his life and the fact that they could have chosen to abandon him. He raps about the struggles that others face - mothers raising their children alone, the temptation to become a snitch when faced with difficult situations. Vinnie concludes the song by asserting that his blood is thicker than water and that he will never betray his cousin or family.

It's been five years since you've been locked in the PEN
It has been five years since you were imprisoned
And not to mention all the fuckin drama it bring
The situation has been dramatic and troublesome
You always in my heart and that's a BEAUTIFUL thing
You hold a special place in my heart
Like warm air flowin from a beautiful spring
Your presence brings comfort and joy
But that's sum wild shit to do to a king
It is unreasonable to treat a king in such a way
And maybe some day I'll get used to the sting
Perhaps I will eventually become accustomed to the pain
For now I'll been thinkin about you everyday
I think about you every day
And how we use to dumb out in everyway
I reminisce about the fun times we had together
Brought a smile to my face on my hardest of days
Thinking about you brings me joy even on tough days
And praying that your mother and your father can raise
I hope your parents are able to raise your little brother
Your little brother into a man one day
I hope your little brother grows up to be a respectable man
I'll stay in touch with him so the plan won't stray
I will keep in contact with him to ensure he stays on track
But don't you worry about your little brother, he fine
Don't worry, your little brother is doing well
He smart with a heart and he steadily shine
He is intelligent and progressing well
And if the little soulja ever step outta line
If he misbehaves
You know I'm gonna be there to show him the time
I will be there to correct his behavior if necessary
I'd rather walk these hollow grounds wit a glock or four pounds
I would prefer to carry firearms for protection
Police lookin over my back with a glock it's low down
I feel unfairly targeted by the police
Wit a clock that slows down, it shoots flock wit no sound
Referencing a silent firearm with a slow clock
And I'm carried away on my back like a stone popper party
I feel weighed down by my situation
Lyin' til' my soul hurts (soul hurts)
Being dishonest takes a toll on me
Mad as fuck scared and stuck, I can't control earth
I feel angry, scared, and powerless
Surrounded feelin like a cold hearse wanting to fold first
Feeling overwhelmed like a coffin in a cold hearse
I thank my peeps every day becuz they chose birth
I am grateful for the people in my life
I'm totally grateful, at times I act hateful
Although I am grateful, I can still act out of anger
Ya'll wish ya'll feed over me to reside in a gold cradle
Others wish they had my success
Brown paper bag living in the latest whips
Living lavishly but not being able to show it off
Trips to Ep Cops Centre in the space and shit
Visits to prison and similar locations
Always reminisce about the shit you laced us with
Remembering things given or taught by the artist
Always the street legend to the bravest cliques
Seen as a legend to others in the streets
And now I see niggaz gettin, it makes me sick
Seeing others succeed while the singer struggles is frustrating
The same shit that could've made us rich, made us snitch
The same opportunities that could have led to success instead led to betrayal
Divide the men from the boys see what makes them bitch
Testing someone's character and seeing who is loyal or not
To watch mothers lovin' struggles just to raise their kids
Observing the challenges mothers face to raise their children
Soar my mind every time that I raise this fifth
Drinking causes the singer to feel enlightened
And drink the bottle til' it's hollow and it all makes sense
Drinking until there is nothing left and feeling as though everything is clear

Knives & Such
Nearly 2 million people that think the same way I do and I love Vinnie and you all for it. I still remember the day he replied to my dm and just casually responded like a bashful big homie. This music is life to some to say the least..
