Jedi Mind Tricks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
*gunshot*
It's comin', it's comin'
You wear a gun, the beast 'til the end that is
This is the twilight winter
I am ready to be her son
It's now, I will RISE to her side!
I don't need the words, I'm beyond
[Verse 1: Ill Bill]
Keep it homie this is a gangsta party
Bullet proof glass for Robbie
Die sorry by the hand of vampires and zombies
Fire bombin' suicide army God's inside me
Ride 'til I motherfuckin' die high on canarcy
Unfocusable, 'xplodin smokin toast to ya vultures
Oceans of haemoglobin words of evil spoken invokin'
Volcanoes evoked, these veterans are very violent
Non Phixion Jedi Mind Tricks a deadly virus
Either there's no life or no love
I read Kaballah on drugs
Gun in my wig gettin' my dick sucked
Bitches spit and cum on each others clits for kicks
Cocaine tits degenerates smother ya shit
Another day in paradise, surrounded by bloodsuckers and parasites
Gettin' in shoot outs for Amorites
Leave ya block flooded wid blood this hard find I promised
Eat shit suck fuck kill and die honest
[Hook from sample]
The big bad fearless wolf
I'm the end of the world
Wearing the flesh of fallen angels
I've scanned the reality
I see it, the corruption of flesh
And blood to you all!
[Verse 2: Sabac Red]
Call me the rap Che Guerera
Loungin' in the black grave's terror
I lace tracks with terror forever smellin' death
Reoccurrin' like the hands of burnin' flesh
Must be the spirit of Koresh that keep me turnin' in the bed
Troopers hoverin', you'll be sufferin' crews be buggin'
When they rather shoot they brother than abuse the government
Our crews make compliments from writin' darkness
When we spark this the hardest part is when Gods is
dealing with fake artists,I face charges for speakin' my piece
Unleash the beast after nine eleven still got beef with police
Streets' a warzone we more prone to violence and greed
No voice leaves no choice they tryna silence the seeds
Time is when will you get yours, stop relyin' on me
I'm firin' with speed so before you dyin' you'll bleed
This is a war call I warn y'all stay up 'fore you're held
Or get fucked up cut up your wrist and kill yourself
[Hook from sample]
The flesh of fallen angles
Come to me all
The secrets hiding under the skin of reality
I am the wolf
Witness to end of time
I dont need the words, I'm beyond the words
[Verse 3: Ikon the Verbal Hologram]
The streets is vietnam
Im like Jesus tryin to complete a Psalm
I beleive in Islam
Heathens can bleed till they gone
Its on, anyone can get hit
Anyone can get the center of their energy split
My enemies fit, to face Palestine
Ya'll bitch rappers only got hearts on Valentine's
And all ya'll that wanna know how my metal feel
It get settled in the temple when my beretta kill
My pen bleeds the ink ya'll spill
But ya'll still seem to think ya'll real
Jedi mind real put the 9 to your grill
We spit real...and ya'll run for the hills
I'll stab you in the back till it weakens the knees
And smash you with a statue of Jesus that bleeds
[Outro from sample]
I've tasted the devil's green blood
It runs in my veins
I've seen beyond the world of stealing
The architecture of blood and bone marrow
Death is coming!
I have tasted the flesh of fallen angels
I am the wolf, yeah! I am the wolf!
The lyrics of Jedi Mind Tricks's song The Wolf delve into dark, gritty themes of violence and corruption, delivered in a haunting, almost otherworldly fashion. The song features Ill Bill, Sabac, and Ikon the Verbal Hologram trading verses over a chillingly sparse beat, punctuated by eerie samples of gunshots and ominous spoken word passages.
The first verse, delivered by Ill Bill, sets the tone with vivid imagery of a brutal gangsta party, complete with bulletproof glass and vampire and zombie assassins. He paints a picture of a world where violence and evil are commonplace, where Kaballah is read on drugs and depraved acts are committed for kicks. The hook, delivered via a sampled voice, declares the narrating character to be the "big bad fearless wolf," the end of the world, wearing the flesh of fallen angels.
The second verse from Sabac Red continues these themes, addressing the violence and corruption present in the government, police, and society at large, and framing these struggles as a war that he and his crew are fighting. He describes himself as the "rap Che Guerera," and identifies with the spirit of the late David Koresh, leader of the Branch Davidians in Waco, Texas.
Finally, Ikon the Verbal Hologram delivers a verse that references both the Vietnam War and his own Muslim faith, describing himself as a Jesus figure trying to complete a Psalm. He lays down visceral threats of violence, spitting lines about stabbing opponents in the back and smashing them with statues of bleeding Jesus.
Overall, the song is a dark and challenging meditation on some of the most disturbing aspects of humanity, delivered via poetic imagery and skillful lyricism.
