JUMP
Violent Delight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
At the round table; King Arthur, Lancelot, Merlin, Gandalf
This one's for you, you gang-bangers, uh
Come on ride with the Wizard Crew
You know what we do, huh
Have you ever started on a Wizard's Crew?
I didn't think that all Wizard's could rhyme
Then they pulled out their mics and their colt forty-fives
They looked more like they were Robin's Hoods
But they rapped like they were from Eaglewood
I thought all Wizards lived on castles on hills
But they blasted me away with their lyrical skills
Beware of the Wizard's brew (Don't mess with the Wizard's brew)
It'll put a spell on you (They'll put a spell on you)
You don't know what it can do (You don't know, you don't know)
So here's what I say to you (So)
Jump - Into the fires of Hell
Jump - Into the wishing well
Jump - Everybody yell
Jump, jump, jump, jump
Jump - Into the pit of despair
Jump - 'Cause they're going no-where
Jump - 'Cause they stand and stare
Jump, jump, jump, jump
When the God's came down from the Heaven's above
They tried to scrap our message of peace and love
But the bad-ass Wizard's weren't down with that
So they mustered their guns with every chance they had
The lady in the lake, she had something to say
When the Wizard's looked her up on the Sabbath day
They proclaimed she was fit enough to toast
And the Sabbath day ended in a maiden-spit-roast
Beware of the Wizard's brew
It'll put a spell on you
You don't know what it can do (You don't know, you don't know)
So here's what I say to you (So)
Jump - Into the fires of Hell
Jump - Into the wishing well
Jump - Everybody yell
Jump, jump, jump, jump
Jump - Into the pit of despair
Jump - 'Cause they're going no-where
Jump - 'Cause they stand and stare
Jump, jump, jump, jump
The Demons rose to take their crown
And tried to bring the Wizard's down
But before the battle could commence
The old men came to their defence
We're gonna jump like it's 1066 Y'all
Jump - Into the fires of Hell
Jump - Into the wishing well
Jump - Everybody yell
Jump, jump, jump, jump
Jump - Into the pit of despair
Jump - 'Cause they're going no-where
Jump - 'Cause they stand and stare
Jump, jump, jump, jump
Jump - Into my lyrical flame
Jump - This ain't a fucking game
Jump - Ain't gonna be no straight
Jump, jump, jump, jump
Jump - I'll break you with my Nine
Jump ' (?) Your head in time
Jump - You better fucking hide
Jump, jump, jump, jump
Jump, jump, jump, jump
Jump, jump, jump, jump
The Wizard Crew know you, they're gonna kill you
The lyrics to Violent Delight's song "Jump" are a unique blend of references to King Arthur and other characters from medieval literature, mixed with urban gang culture and surrealistic images. The song starts with a shoutout to the iconic characters from several stories and mythologies. The lyrics then transition into describing the frightening and mystical world of "Wizard Crew." The singer is surprised to find that Wizards can rap and wield weapons as well as anyone else. The lyrics caution the listener to stay away from the Wizard's brew and their dangerous magical powers.
The chorus is an impressionistic description of various pits of despair and fire, which the singer strongly advises everyone to jump into. The middle section of the song describes a battle between peaceful wizards and demonic forces. The older wizards come to the younger ones' defense, and they jump into the fray. The song's climax ramps up the imagery and danger as the singer threatens to break the listener's head with a "nine" and advises them to hide. The song ends with a final chorus encouraging everyone to keep jumping.

Yo, yo, yo, this goes out to all my men
Greetings to all the round table knights - King Arthur, Lancelot, Merlin and Gandalf - and gang-bangers!
At the round table; King Arthur, Lancelot, Merlin, Gandalf
The four greatest medieval knights and the most powerful wizard of Middle-earth, giving respect to each!
This one's for you, you gang-bangers, uh
Greetings to gang members among the audience!
Come on ride with the Wizard Crew
Join the wizards, and let's have a good time!
You know what we do, huh
You know we always bring magic and music, right?
Have you ever started on a Wizard's Crew?
Have you ever experienced the magical presence of the Wizard's Crew?
There's a lot of scary magic they'll do to you
Their magic can be intimidating to the uninitiated!
I didn't think that all Wizard's could rhyme
It was unexpected when I discovered the wizards were poetic too.
Then they pulled out their mics and their colt forty-fives
To my surprise, the wizards revealed their magical microphones and guns!
They looked more like they were Robin's Hoods
They appeared like a bunch of bandits!
But they rapped like they were from Eaglewood
However, their rap was so good that it made them seem like they were from a posh locality!
I thought all Wizards lived on castles on hills
I believed wizards always lived in castles on hills.
But they blasted me away with their lyrical skills
They amazed me with their musical abilities!
Beware of the Wizard's brew (Don't mess with the Wizard's brew)
Be careful with the magical potion of the wizards!
It'll put a spell on you (They'll put a spell on you)
It can enchant you!
You don't know what it can do (You don't know, you don't know)
The essence of the potion can be very deceptive!
So here's what I say to you (So)
Therefore, let me advise you!
Jump - Into the fires of Hell
Jump into the depths of destruction!
Jump - Into the wishing well
Jump into the magical depths!
Jump - Everybody yell
Shout out loud with joy!
Jump - Into the pit of despair
Jump into the darkness!
Jump - 'Cause they're going no-where
Jump because you have nowhere else to go!
Jump - 'Cause they stand and stare
Jump because they are watching!
When the God's came down from the Heaven's above
When the divine beings descended to Earth!
They tried to scrap our message of peace and love
They attempted to suppress our mission of peace!
But the bad-ass Wizard's weren't down with that
But our strong and fearless wizards were not going to accept that!
So they mustered their guns with every chance they had
They gathered their weapons and prepared for a fight!
The lady in the lake, she had something to say
The mystical woman in the lake spoke up!
When the Wizard's looked her up on the Sabbath day
When the wizards consulted her on the holy Sabbath day!
They proclaimed she was fit enough to toast
They declared she was good to eat!
And the Sabbath day ended in a maiden-spit-roast
And they ended the Sabbath with a roast of a woman!
The Demons rose to take their crown
The demons tried to overthrow the Wizards!
And tried to bring the Wizard's down
They attempted to ruin the wizards!
But before the battle could commence
But before the fight began!
The old men came to their defence
The senior men stood in protection!
We're gonna jump like it's 1066 Y'all
Get ready to jump like in the old medieval days!
Jump - Into my lyrical flame
Jump into my fiery lyrics!
Jump - This ain't a fucking game
Jump, and know that it's not a simple game!
Jump - Ain't gonna be no straight
Jump forward, and don't look back!
Jump - I'll break you with my Nine
Jump or face the consequences!
Jump ' (?) Your head in time
Jump and get your timing right!
Jump - You better fucking hide
Jump, and then find a hiding spot!
Jump, jump, jump, jump
Jump as much as you can!
The Wizard Crew know you, they're gonna kill you
The Wizard crew is aware of you and can be dangerous!
