Jedi Mind Tricks - Before The Great Collapse Lyrics






[Vinnie Paz]
Mummy, I don't wanna live no more
I don't think I got nothin' else to give no more
It's like I've lost my passion for life
It's like call on my actions of tribe
I don't feel like I used to about the world
I don't feel like I used to about my girl
I just wanna die mummy, ‘cause it's too hard
I just wanna lie calmly in the view dark
Ever since daddy died it's been pain mummy
It's like there's something wrong with my brain mummy
You was always there for me so I love you
I die for you and I place noone above you
Tell Lenny and the kids that you stay strong
And when I meet my maker that I'm gonna pray for
And tell Pete that I think he'll be a great father
Tell Young that I think he'll be a great author
Tell Planet that his wife and kids are gorgeus
And the same go for Andy and for Marcus
Tell Syze that I have faith in ‘em
And never let the industry snakes get ‘em

[Vinnie Paz]
I got a few things more I should say mummy
I never meant to hurt you in any way mummy
I never meant to hurt anyone, it's God's work
‘Cause wakin' up everyday for me is hard work
And tell June, that she was the love of my life
And that I never stopped lovin' here even in spite
All the things that we went through together
Do the highs and loans and bad run ‘em
Let Frank know he always made me smile
Tell him back in the days was crazy wild
Tell Stoupe that I always had his back, ma'
And we was meant to be together on a track, ma'
Tell Cheek I consider him a brother
When I die, the pain will spit into another
That's just how life go along, it's painful!
I'll come back to you in dreams as an angel
So don't blame yourself for what happened
‘cause you was the best mother that I could father
Someone going to the first place I can go
I love you, sincerely Vincenzo!

    (movie quote: The Addiction)
    To face what we are in the end
    We stand before the light
    And our true nature is revealed
    Self-revelation is annihilation of self

    [Vinnie Paz]
    Mommy I dun wanna live no more
    I dun think I got nothing else to give no more
    Its like I lost my passion for life
    Its like all my actions are trite
    I dun feel like I used to about the world

    I just want to die mommy cuz its to hard
    I just want to lie calmly and refute god

    [Vinnie Paz]
    Ever since daddy died its been pain, mommy
    Its like there's something wrong with my brain, mommy
    You was always there for me so i love you
    I'd die for you and I place no one above you

    The Entire world's a graveyard (the ending of time)
    That's all we are. We're the ones (the ending of time)
    Who let the dying know (the ending of time)
    The hour has come. (the ending of time)

    [Vinnie Paz]
    I got a few things more I should say, mommy
    I never meant to hurt you in any way, mommy
    I never meant to hurt anyone, its gods work
    Cuz waking up everyday for me is hard work
    And tell June that she was the love of my life
    And that I never stopped loving her even in spite
    All the things that we went thru together
    Thru the highs and lows and bad weather

    [Vinnie Paz]
    Let Frank know he always made me smile
    Tell him back in the days was crazy wild
    Tell Stoupe that i always had his back mom
    And we was meant to be together on the track mom

    [Vinnie Paz]
    Tell Chique I consider him a brother
    When I die the pain will spit into another
    That's just how life goes mom, this is painful
    I'll come back to you in dreams as an angel
    So don't blame yourself for what happened
    Cuz you were the best mother that I could fathom
    So I'm going into the first place that I can go
    I love you, sincerely Vinchenzo...

    (Movie Quote: The Addiction)
    The Entire world's a graveyard
    That's all we are. We're the ones who let the dying know
    The hour has come

    [Vinnie Paz](fading out with chorus)
    Mommy just tell everyone I love them
    Know what I'm saying?

    Know what i mean?
    Tell them to stay strong
    Tell Des Devious to keep doing his thing mommy
    Tell Locke to keep his head up things gonna get better
    Know what I'm saying?

  38. L.... G....

    i was looking for a song like this.and i finally found it. I smoked a joint and closed my eyes and when i opened them tears just flew out. I being through this shit

    L.... G....

    Ay bro real shit we all come here when we need to flush and recoup. twist one, press play and let it out. There's not a realer song to get you thru.

    L.... G....

    you need to punch a wall to feel manly again

    L.... G....

    Right tho??? This song and Razor blade Salvation remind me exactly of some shit my moms and I said in another when I was locked up. This song reminds me of when I was on the streets and all fucked up and started slippin. JMT/Vinnie Paz albums from Violent By Design, Through History of Violence are some of my Fav all time, Big Stoupe is one of the better producers. Figures he on GZA label #BabyGrandeRecords

    L.... G....

    @Erikb453 He ain't on Babygrande, hasn't been for 10 years now

    L.... G....

    Fasho thx Malicious tactics, he was when this album was made tho.

  39. n.... p....

    I know it's Christopher walken talking don't no which movie

    n.... p....

    Anybody know where it's from?

    n.... p....

    Benny Troung it's a movie called "The addiction"

    n.... p....

    @Gee B
    Thanks

  40. i.... ....

    Why buy the Vinyl, the beats are already mastered... I would get it as a true fan though.

  41. F.... S....

    omfg dj stoupe............

  42. F.... W....

    he speaks like Tupac but Vinny speaks the truth more 💪🔥💯

  43. J.... ....

    Fucking love JMT. This song speaks to me every time.

  44. D.... ....

    Forever 💜✊

  45. g.... ....

    I love how Razorblade salvation is next on auto play, it's like a cycle.

  46. D.... D....

    pessimism is the more reasonable option, when you look at life from a distance. suicide ain't a selfish act once you do it for others, right before the big blow. fuck it

    D.... D....

    hey man, you good? wanna talk?

    D.... D....

    +Daan De Stigter Not really an option for some people, but I agree. Remember, the glass is half full with water and half full with air no matter how you look at it. Stay strong people!

    D.... D....

    @Bog_dan to_bo what's up?

  47. M.... S....

    i dont give a fuck what anyone says, vinnie paz is the greatest writer in hip hop. the man is genius. whether hes goin hard on some gangster shit or fucking pullin shit from his heart and layin it down, its always solid.
    the man saves lives with his music you cant put a price on that.

    M.... S....

    Mason Squires this song is incredible not just on a hip hop level

    M.... S....

    his new shit seems like hes just rhyming for the sake of riddling

    M.... S....

    On point, feel like this about many lyricists tbh..

    M.... S....

    Mason Squires Blood Addiction by him was Krazy

  48. R.... B....

    life's one rocky bitch

    R.... B....

    Yep... Just gotta stay strong! .....

  49. M.... ....

    Where is the first part of the song sampled from?

    M.... ....

    Freeman farm david elon preston

    M.... ....

    thanks dude

  50. D.... D....

    thinking of you X. R.I.P

  51. L.... S....

    this song hitting deep as hell right now

  52. M.... 8....

    so don`t blame yourself four what happend ! cause you where the best mommy i can fathom!

  53. C.... ....

    "Cause you was the best mother that i could fathom".. Going through dark times because of physical ilness. with dark thoughts, that line is the last thing that makes you hold on.. Ya know its fucked up when you're that far out.. To this day i cant hear that line without tearing up.. god damn Vinnie, you got some depth man.. Thank you!

  54. n.... s....

    Where is the cover art from? Terrorist attack?

    n.... s....

    its probably staged. i doubt they would exploit a tragedy

    n.... s....

    @***** from the way he was reacting to it I thought maybe he got caught in a gas fire. I know fire is extremely painful but for example the Buddhist monks when protesting Vietnam barely moved when they self immolated.

    n.... s....

    He didn't like the album so I set him on fire

  55. S.... ....

    waking up everyday for me is hard work

  56. I.... ....

    What  the music is playing in background from 0:27?

  57. H.... D....

    It's like I've lost my passion for life

    H.... D....

    Hoss Delgado deep af man that line just hits the core of your soul

  58. T.... B....

    Vinnie has honestly changed my life...

  59. G.... H....

    Been there, I like the reply "Razorblade Salvation" even more tho.

  60. S.... H....

    I wasn't a JMT fan until I started listening to the material that BabyGrande put on YouTube. Now I'm a fan that buys JMT material, all they're doing with the soundmark is ensuring that their artists get promoted and marketed to the best potential.

    S.... H....

    How much did they pay you to write this?

  61. P.... M....

    vinnie paz is one of the best hands down!

  62. S.... S....

    Fuck I was not prepared for this feeling.

  63. J.... ....

    wont give it a number, but VBD is one of the best albums ever

  64. T.... L....

    Drinking a 40 to this one and letting my tears out. Might go catch some slams as we'll fuck it.

  65. S.... L....

    powerful

  66. A.... M....

    This song got me thru hell

    A.... M....

    I am doing well now. Thank u

  67. S.... J....

    such intellective lycric even the beat is on a whole other level ! 
    Respect Vinnie P And JMT group !

  68. M.... ....

    Saves my life and tears are shed everytime I hear this song

  69. W.... L....

    This brought tears..

  70. N.... N....

    You know the music is powerful when it make you cry every time this here is a straight CLASSIC.💯

    N.... N....

    C.... G....

    what happened on 9-18-2004?

  77. s.... ....

    they probably put the bitch saying shit in the middle of the song so people will think twice about downloading it and buy the actual song.

    It seems babygrande goes for money and not free music...What a pity..

  89. R.... A....

    So much respect for vinnie jmt

  90. M.... ....

    It is, those guys who originally uploaded it got JMT hundreds of thousands if not millions of views, and most of them probably didn't make a penny off of it. As a thank you they're hit with a copyright notice, too many of those and they shut your channel down.

  91. C.... B....

    wow this song is so fuckin insane good !

  92. S.... ....

    much respect jmt
