This is probably the most underrated song of all time. He wrote it at 20! It speaks to the existential human experience. It hints at the depersonalization disorder Vinnie would desribe struggling through many years later. This song is just brilliant in many ways. The album in general is not the most professionally produced obviously but this song is up there with the greatest JMT songs and the greatest rap songs period!

too bad he fell for the Worldly counterfit church and mistaken it for the Real Church and in turn doesnt beleive in Jesus, or atleast I dont know Vinnie, but he is Muslim isnt he? yeee fire track for sure, love it.....see to a Christian(who doesnt stand with Majority of the Christians) a true christian, this song other than one or 2 lines is what I relate to, Im a Bag of Dust lol but in a good way, fuck society, forget the ways of the world and leave it behind, this world never was for people like us.

[@zfrmusic6663]

@@simransingh214 No I do not suffer from the disorder. I am sorry to hear you do. I do find it fascinating because I have had positive out of body experiences. It is the most difficult disorder for me to wrap my mind around. It seems to have certain overlaps with teachings of Vedanta/Yoga but unfortunately the disorder causes lots of mental pain.

Those fast sequences while Vinnie was lying in front of the TV half asleep always gets me, it has something melancholic in it

[@steveyuhas9278]

I once met Vinnie and got to hang out with him backstage. I was so stoked to meet him. One of the only hip hop artists I truly liked and admired since I'm super picky and they have to have a certain sound for me to really dig them. My buddy was a promoter for them so I got to just spend all night chillin with him. One of the coolest dudes ever. I told him I'm not really into hip hop, and that I really only like unique shit and I'm more of a rock guy. But told him that I really liked him and Army of the Pharoahs which is true to this day... Vinnie goes "yea I ain't much into rap either, more of a metal guy myself". We hit it off immediately and it was a great night to remember I'll never forget that shit.

@@mookiestewart3776 It's actually in Politics (Πολιτικά).

[@Phearsum]

You butchered the quote, since you've clearly never actually read Aristotle's works. The exact quote Vinnie pulled his line from is *"Whosoever is delighted in solitude, is a wild beast or a God."* Which summarized just implies that absolute solitude from any outside interaction will either bring you to Godhood or reduce you to a monster void of humanity. The latter is more often the case since most men cannot go without social interactions and succumbing to desires of the flesh. It's almost impossible to abstain from humanity when you yourself are a fragment of it. But few can rise above it, while most will destroy themselves trying. Sometimes it's safer to just accept it and submit to the fact you're just a man. Never becoming much, but never losing what you already have.

This is literally the most relatable song i've ever heard. It's so bullshit knowing that the same bullshit will just happen over and over till you die.. "To live alone one must be an animal or a God" one of the deepest things ever.

No one understands how awake and ahead of their time Jedi mind tricks was. Lyrically and the meaning behind the music is deep and honestly there’s nothing comparable to them in today’s music.

Crazy man , this could be studied and should be studied in university classes how poetic it is, 90s rap was truly remarkable. That was the peak of hip hop mostly downhill from there lyrically Beats today r better than ever but hip hop was at it's best early 90s late 80s. Was still pure in its artform but was mainstream enough to have so much talent Back then people who couldn't rap didn't try to rap.

[@ToMs4Lt]

I, I who have nothing Intersections in real time The unbroken circle and dimensions of the mind The tie that binds The eternal tie that defines The vanity of my insanity in due time Will shine Like the night seas under the moon The haunted corners of familiar rooms Yet I'm consumed We're vanishing into thin air The realization that this shit is my cross to bear So where Did I think I could run away to see The people that decided to leave without asking me But we Decide to wait for happier tomorrows And find someone so they can be distractions from our sorrow But my distractions the books of paper that I scrawl in I'm eloquent as summer breeze and leaves that have just fallen I've crawled in a corner hoping all of this will end With the knowledge that love is just another word for revenge I who have nothing but the comfort of my sins I who have nothing but the comfort of my friends I, I who have nothing I, I who have no one I, I who have nothing I, I who have no one As I decay, demons prey above me like a vulture Ability to endure contradiction is a high sign of culture Verbal sculptures, self defacing It is not God or lunacy that I am facing But the erasing of the purity and passion of my words The herds of cattle babble on with talk of the absurd But I preferred To walk away from all the feuds To find my life is more confusing than a rubic's cube So I'm subdued In all my words of verbal prods To live alone one must be an animal or a God But it's official All of my pain is clear as crystal The natural side of life has now been seeming artificial But I can hit you And rest assured that I'mma last words I could give a fuck about ya secrets and ya past words I can pass words and their ability to hurt you Patience is a virtue and knowledge is of commercial I who have nothing but the pain that I refer to I who have nothing but the pain that I've refered to I, I who have nothing I, I who have no one I, I who have nothing I, I who have no one Lost among the miracles, I stand alone And I've grown into a being that's sitting on top a throne I've known For many years that I would turn to rust I find a reason for another breath Before my return to dust I become one with science and mathematics and the rising of the sun I'm numb To all of those who blind and cannot see The chastiser of the enemy Perception requires duality Inspect ya soul, the color of coal inside the body I have hardly come across them who's holy Send them to the cherubim to control thee Burning of the sun and frigidness of the cold The battlefield is new but the war is now old You can never see the merest shadow of a halo Above the head of evil djin who's deadly like tornado The world has become an aquarium Full of gaping fish with murderous smiles I on the other hand stand on the outside looking in Writing down murderous files I who have nothing but the lack of variation And I who have nothing but chains and suffocation

[@tylorgordonadams8275]

Thank you, my favourite song of all time and I just now realize it's perception not deception. Lol

[@lexthesavior]

I think he says murderous vows

[@toetaggerh4253]

It's definitely "I who have known" not I who have no one.

[@TheGrainhas]

​@@toetaggerh4253I, who have 'No One', it's clear and logic. He has nothing, and has nobody.

[@TheKeeperOfZion]

I always come back here , thanks Vinnie.

[@dibdabdub64]

[@thalesribeiro9675]

Patience is a virtue and knowledge is of commercial GODDAMED

[@bossmith8285]

Thales, can you elaborate on your interpretation of this line?

[@MrJkid2010]

In the top 5 hip hop songs ever, in my opinion. this songs on another level of existense, Straight wisdom from vinnie and a timeless beat to match!

[@Mruiz0085]

Man if you weren’t around in the 90s you’ll never know

[@christopherortego1647]

Still one of the best lyrical songs ever written.

[@michaelelliott2194]

I was admittedly never the biggest fan of Jedi Mind but I've always thought this track was a masterpiece. The references in this one are deep! I smiled when I first heard the Aristotle and Nietzsche references.

[@KK-gg9hx]

Jedi Mind Tricks don't get the honor they deserve, prolific.

[@dominicmoreno4662]

this is art

[@connorkirkley4669]

Brings back memories off my young days! Respect to vinnie this was a beat of my youth forever young!!!

[@RecapTVate]

It's nice reading people calling Vinnie, Ikon. I remember these good ol days. I remember when you would get on youtube and search Jedi Mind Tricks n this was the only video that came up. Vinnie (Ikon the verbal hollogram) has come a long way since this... damn. Man is a beast!

[@jsnike57]

this video looks like it was made in 1997-1999 or so... and i fucking love it

[@uniunissa]

This was one of the first rap songs and music videos I used to watch on repeat when I was teenager going through mental health issues and stuff. One of the songs which made me want to rap and I found channel for that stuff I was going through. Such nostalgy. Vinnie Paz has been dope always.

[@Gooberninja]

This song hits me right where I live.
