Jedi Mind Tricks tells a personal Vietnam story about uncommon valor.
The dark beats, deep voice on quick flow and the poetic sense of the textual context combined with the mash-up video clip, performs a very atmospheric gritty mood that delivers on both the auditive, visual and cognitive experience.
Them yellow men wearing black pajamas, they wanna harm us
They all up on us, bang, bang, bullet hit my chest, feel no pain
To my left, the captain caught a bullet right in his brain
Body parts flying, loss of limbs, explosions
Bad intentions, I see my best friend’s intestines
Pray to the one above
It’s raining, I’m covered in mud
I think I’m dying
I feel dizzy, I’m losing blood
I see my childhood
I’m back in the arms of my mother
I see my whole life, I see Christ, I see bright lights
I see Israelites, Muslims and Christians at peace, no fights
Black, Whites, Asians, people of all types
I must’ve died then I woke up, surprised I’m alive
I’m in a hospital bed, they rescued me, I survived
I escaped the war, came back but ain’t escape Agent Orange
Two of my kids born handicapped
Spastic, quadriplegia, micro cephalic
Cerebral palsy, cortical blindness
Name it, they had it
My son died, he ain’t live
But I still try to think positive
Cos in life, God take, God give
