Punkin' Machine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I-ya,
I against I,
Flesh of my flesh,
And mind of my mind,
Two of a kind but one won't survive,
My images reflect in the enemies eye,And his images reflect in mine the same time,
I-ya, I-ya,
I against I,
Flesh of my flesh,
And mind of my mind,
Two of a kind but one won't survive,
Right here is where the end gon' start at,
Conflict, contact 'n' combat,
Fighters stand where the land is marked at,
Settle the dispute about who the livest,
3 word answer,
Whoever survive this,
Only one of us can ride forever,
So you and I cant ride together,
Can't live or cant die together,
All we can do is collide together,
So I skillfully apply the pressure,
Won't stop until I'm forever... One!
A door step where death never come,
Spread across time til my time never done,
And I'm never done,
Walk tall, why ever run?
When they move if I ever come?Bad man never fret the war, tell'em come
General we have the stock, the mad fire burn
I-ya,
I against I,
Flesh of my flesh,
And mind of my mind,
Two of a kind but one won't survive,
My images reflect in the enemies eye,
And his images reflect in mine the same time,
I-ya, I-ya,
I against I,
Flesh of my flesh,
And mind of my mind,
Two of a kind but one won't survive,
Survive (x16)
Reign supreme in your U-N-I,
V-E-R-S-E with the sharpness,
Narrow row building no space for partners,
No space for drivers, no space for walkers,
No space regardless,
Your on my path then get off it,
Hardheaded and unresponsive,
Get they lives put on target with harshness,
Come with the canons sparkin' they darken,
Who am i? One man squadron,
Ma stir the fire this time that'd snatch your tomorrow,
The thousand yard spear that'll pierce through your armor,
You can get it on right now if you want to,
But when ya front 9 get marched through,
I warned you,
You know who forever belong to,
I-ya, I-ya
I against I,
Flesh of my flesh,
And mind of my mind,
Two of a kind but one won't survive,
My images reflect in the enemies eye,
And his images reflect in mine the same time,
I-ya, I-ya,
I against I,
Flesh of my flesh,
And mind of my mind,
Two of a kind but one won't survive,
My images reflect in the enemies eye,
And his images reflect in mine, survive
Survive (x16)
The lyrics of "I Against I" by Punkin' Machine featuring Mos Def describe a battle between two individuals who share a deep connection. The singer compares himself to his enemy, stating that they are "flesh of my flesh" and "mind of my mind," indicating that they are two sides of the same coin. However, only one of them will survive this conflict, and they cannot ride or live together. The singer applies pressure to his enemy and is determined to emerge victorious.
The lyrics also suggest a metaphorical meaning where the enemy could be interpreted as the singer's own flaws and insecurities. The conflict, therefore, could represent an internal struggle for self-improvement, with the enemy in question being the singer's own negative traits. The lyrics encourage the listener to confront these flaws and overcome them through perseverance and determination.

@dougied3449
That’s why you load bird, buck, bird, buck! Bird at close range will shed the target and the buck will finish off immobile target humanely!
@thetermintater7770
I’ll still use a big ass gun to shoot someone that breaks into my house, walls can be fixed. Also I am smart enough to know what is beyond my walls. Was taught as soon as I came out of my mother’s womb to use common sense. I know that in today’s society it’s probably not taught, which isn’t my fault, but for the other person.

@F8dg9
this is exactly why I use 12 gauge in home defense..
@doomjuice.1652
Those 3 barrel shotguns exist use birdshot as a warning buckshot if they don’t listen and slug if they keep failing with orders
@aLittleBitFurther
I've never seen a better ad for using 12g slugs in home defense.
@escapetherace1943
LOL same
@LucasTheOnion
Well yeah, but remember it's easier to miss with them since you shoot out one projectile instead of multiple.
Close range it's fine, but further away it's nice to have a bit of spread in case you miscalculate a bit.
@TheEvilProfessorMonoCulture
That's why we have a pitchfork mounted on the front; you in for one hell of an ass forking
