Jedi Mind Tricks (Vinnie Paz + Stoupe) - "Razorblade Salvation" feat. Shara Worden [Official Audio] 

Still loving this in 2024. Jmt was my favorite

I listned to this song so much when i lost my girlfriend, i was kicked out of home and my mum and dad split, my stepdad is physically and mentally abusive towards me, we had no money and very little food on the table, i was loaded up on speed and ice, i was alone and isolated. It kept me pushing trying to find the light of day. This song helped give me the strenght to keep moving on, to keep fighting with all my strenght mentally and physically. I got my girlfriend back, my relationship with my mum is stable, my dad and i hate each other, im off drugs, im doing year 12, i have a perfect relationship with my girlfriends mum and dad and i love my 5 year old brother and sister and my 3 year old brother with all my heart on my mums side. Thank You Vinnie Paz for bringing a song out which helped me so much in my time of need. You are my role model and idol!!!

This song literally saved my life

This song is the reason many of us are still alive and the only time we come back to this track is when we are in the valley of darkness. Anyone who is walking in a dark road just remember that Everything happens for a sole purpose. Not one rock moves or leaf falls without a purpose. Thank you Vinnie Paz your music has spread your love for hip hop and your struggle is now our struggle. Any one else who has gone through hell and back can relate with your lyrics. “Self revelation is annihilation of the self” from your first letter. Before the great collapse and this song are 1. Thank you peace

If this song doesn't make you tear up, you have no fucking soul.

It's better to die and sleep, the never-waking sleep Than linger on and dare to live when the soul's life is gone

its kinda funny cuz these guys have such an insane lyrical ability and their music is such a vibe man.. but they have never been in the conversation of the best rappers, no one ever talks of them, no big emcee mentions them, no media, no nothing... its like they exist and they dont exist at the same time..MAN THATS HEARTBREAKING !

If you didnt know, this is a sequel to the song "Before the Great Collapse" which was on the previous album "Legacy of Blood" and is basiclly his death letter and this song is his forgiveness letter

A true poetic expression of the angst that is begot from isolation.

This song is perfect...

RIP Sonny Shahram Granmayeh 7-2-16 JMT was his favorite and inspirational music . He told me the day he passed that he was writing more and more to be like Vinnie Paz . He is listening above now .

"Servants in Heaven, Kings in Hell" one of the greatest album titles

Still a masterpiece in 2022 ❤️‍🔥

This is one of the greatest hip hop songs ever made

This song is either saving or saved a lot of us even for a few minutes. Thank you pazzy 🙏🔥🔥🔥🔥

"I think I wanna stay alive to see if i can grow" I think this must one of the realest things I've ever listened in a song. I mean it's so full of emotion. Gets me everytime.

Just got outta jail for the second time. I'm 21 and my son died while I was in rehab at 7 months in the womb. I went threw an insane clonazolam addiction. Crashed mad cars due to blackouts. My moms the one who had me put in jail cause she told my p.o about my benzo use. I have 2 felony drug sales heroin and cocaine trafficking and on probation in two states. Got 6 more years. Next violation im easily doing a year (with more probation) not looking for pitty just amazed by myself. Dissapointed in myself because I gave into the way I was raised. Paz helps me alot

4 days ago A friend of mine shared this song - a day before he took his own life. This was the last thing he posted on Facebook, the previous was "Ok, I'm good to go.." How come nobody realized what is going on... I wish I could have helped him. Rest in peace buddy.

For some reason “You told me to put all my heart in a song and worked” gets me every time.

Sometimes I feel like that I'm cancerous in other's lives That's probably why I drink at night and sleep 'til four or five.

“You have power and money, but you are mortal” there are a lot of people that need to understand this

If this isn't my favourite song ever, it's up there.

When I was lost and angry at myself for destroying relationships and everything because of my drug and alcohol addiction I would play this song on repeat and it was like my daughter and wife were singing to me to stop what I was doing and that they loved me...I listened and in a week I'll have two years clean and sober. I get to be a part of my daughter's life. God is good

First heard this when i was 16. Im 28 now. Still makes me cry.

Haven't listened to this in over 5 years, but I burst into tears half way through the song. The lyrics hit real hard at this point in my life. Absolute classic! 💯 thanks to vinnie for this belter!

If i could take your pain, i wish that i could wash it all away :( So deep, this song helped me back in the day.

This is real hip hop!

After my father shot and killed himself with a .45 when i was 15 yrs old I fell into heroine addiction for the next 24 years but thru salvation I Finally have gotten clean for good, my mother was always there for me the entire time and always believe i would overcome my demons, 2 of my brothers died while i was in my addiction and my only surviving brother did 7 years in prison and now has 2 kids my niece and nephew. I love them all so much. I sent my brother and mother this song today. These lyrics go out to them and to my Pop's and brothers. RIP family.

"You keep messing around with darkness you're the one who's losing"

This song hits too close to home. Always find myself back in this neck of the woods.

DAMN this brings back some wicked memories.

This song still brings a tear to my eye after all these years

anyone listening in 2015 ?

It’s nearly 2 am and I cannot get the demons out my head (depression and anxiety). This song never fails me.

Captured since I first heard this about 8 years ago. Still powerful :)

this shit stays on repeat

So much lessons learned from this song.

This one really really hits home.

I know that times were hard I know that you've been feelin' down If you only knew how I'm feelin' for you If I could take your pain I wish that I could wash it all away If you only knew how I'm feelin' Mommy I'm sorry if my first letter made you cry To be honest with you I don't think that I wanna die Sometimes I feel like that I'm cancerous in others lives That's prolley why I drink at night and sleep till 4 or 5 It's kinda hard walking through life with my distorted eyes When I was younger I was stupid and I thought I thrived I thought a lot about everything I said in the letter And questioned whether or not if I was dead you'd be better You think my shorty would be happy if I never met her It's too late now mommy I could never forget her Could never forget how she told me to love 'cause my father and my grandmother is always above It's glory above you know that daddy taught me to thug And everytime we was with nanny she'd bombard me with hugs[damn] I MISS 'EM mommy and it's hard to believe That I've grown and I don't understand that why did they leave (Better to die and sleep then never wake and sleep Then linger on and dare to live when your souls life is gone) You've been runnin' around for so long You've been hurting yourself too much You keep messin' around with darkness You're the one whose losin x2 Mommy I think I'm'a that try to stick around a while I got a niece and my nephews they need me around a while I think they need me 'cause they hittin that age And they ain't tryin to speak to Lenny 'cause they spittin' they rage And mommy speakin of Lenny I think my brother need me And we Italian so you know my mother loved to feed me And it's the little things you do for me that make it worth it Like when I play a joint that we did and you say it's perfect And when Jay got knocked you knew that I was hurt You told me to my heart in a song and it worked I promised him I'd be there when he got out the bing You ain't raised me to be a liar ma' that's not my thing I told him that I'd hold him down the whole time that he gone They kept him locked in a cage but that's cool 'cause he's strong So mommy keep that first letter I wrote you on the low I think I wanna stay alive and see if I can grow You've been runnin' around for so long You've been hurting yourself too much You keep messin' around with darkness You're the one whose losing x2 I know that times were hard I know that you've been feelin' down If you only knew how I'm feelin' for you If I could take your pain I wish that I could wash it all away If you only knew how I'm feelin'

Reminds me of an old friend. He told me to make sure I listen to every last bit of the song. That man has been by far the best person I've ever met. If I ever got the chance to go back to California, I'll make sure he knows how much I adore him and miss him.. 😖

Dedicated this to my momma about 10 years ago. Time flies! Crazy how many parts of the song fit my life. Just about the whole song.

Song brings tears to my eyes. So much emotion, and such a powerful song. Love it too much, it's beautiful

This album was an eye opener for me years ago while tripping.

Grew up listening to this, many may not know the pain, but Vinnie spits raw.

The very song that changed my life a good 20 years ago

You're here again too? We gonna get out of it this time same way, we Gon bounce back same way. We all come to this song for a reason. You are NEVER alone.

This song kept me from getting locked up a couple of years ago.More people need to know about music like this, they dont even know how much it could effect their lives for the more positive.

Damn its crazy how songs can effect you so much and help you when your going Thur a crazy shit storm in life

This song sends shivers down my spine

I always come back to this song when shit is heavy in my life , no matter what the triumph is , this is the one I’ve listened to through it all . My little kept secret 💕

I'm all alone. Hip hop is all i have left. Thank you Vinnie

This song hits hard in the soul. I remember chugging alcohol to this back in 2013 with people I am not even friends with anymore.

Navana is finding yourself at peace with everything lost in music, like a form of magic in itself, lyrics hit hard when times takes victims, for every fallen legend you live on in memories left by music you liked, music can change your mood within in a seconds

Can't explain the emotions this track invokes...

thanks paz for throwing some light in the darkness we appreciate it

love this song,Vinnie with Shara are amazing

I think this was the first JMT song I came across on Pandora around 2007. I was hooked ever since & got to see Vinnie @ Rock the Bells 2010. What an experience 🙏🏽

I remember first hearing this song back in 2009. I was listening to La Coka Nostra, and then it had me listening to Jedi Mind Tricks. I love it.

Thumbs up if you're still bumping this in 2016!

I haven't heard this in years since I discovered JMT in high school, song hits alot deeper now

When I was admitted to a mental facility I snuck my ipod in & listened to this song on repeat. I eventually got caught but one of the staff members fought for me because she noticed that it helped me so they let me keep it.

Anyone still here 2019?

2023 and still banging … real music doesnt fade !!!

I love Shara Wordens vocals....... very very moving

This song is literally just Sufjan Stevens 1: Shara Nova(formally Worden) was a background vocalist for Sufjan from 2005-2010(Illinoise, The avalanche, All Delighted People EP, The Age of Adz) 2: The piano sample is from Sufjan's 2000 song Dumb I Sound(although originally recorded in 1998)

its so crazy cuz i started listening to vinnie paz and my names vinnie and he was talking about how his dad passed and then my dad passed so his songs are like spot on for me in every way

this is fucking amazing... vinnie you are awesome

When you actually listen.

vp changes his flow dramatically, a superior emcee...his songs like this one are the one people embrace the most...real dude with a heart that shines...

I quit the fu*ked up life 2 days ago. this song is helping

Damn, haven't heard this track in 10 years. And the Holy Mountain is a dope movie - y'all should check it out.

Some of these comments are deep. Speaks volumes to the quality of the music. If you’re here, or reading this, you can likely relate to SOMEONE in this comment section. We can thank Vinnie Paz.

I'm still in love with this song!!!

I don't think Vinnie ever thought, that his music would touch even the remotest parts of the world like Malawi, his truly a legend, respect from Africa......

i know all the times were hard, i know that you've been feeling down, if you only knew how i'm feeling for you.. if i could take your pain, i wish that i could wash it all away, if you only knew how i'm feeling.

Had to re-upload. Everything in HD now

This ShiT HELPED me through tough ass times man, When NO ONE knew how to approach me or say the right things, MUSIC like this was there.. I know I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE. AND THATS THE BEAUTIFUL THING. We all Have the power to survive this shit. Much love y'all. REAL MUSIC✊🏽✊🏽.

I wanna stay alive and see if I can grow

ONE OF THE REALEST SONGS EVER WRITTEN

"I know that times been hard, I know that you've been feeling down, if you only knew how im feeling for you, if i can take your pain, i wish that i could wash it all away, if you only knew how im feeling"

It was Jst a few month's ago when I had a Fb notice from a few yrs ago from my x husband that he had sent this song to to me...We had already been apart 4 yrs...Dismissed it...Till few month's ago when really listened to the lyrics➡➡Damn that was deep💯

this is real music...

Almost cry when I hear this beat, got me through rough times...

Such an amazing song ands its gotten me through so many dark times in my life so I thank you Jedi Mind Tricks for keeping me alive!!!

Still one of the most amazing Jedi joints ever created. The feels from this one. It has helped me through a lot of hard times.

Mannn song got me through some tough times and still does....

This song helped me out so much after detox. Thank you!

This song is rad, if for nothing else, then for the fact it is uplifting on good days, and soul soothing on the bad days. That's some rare shit.

Real music, slapping this in 2015, mom I think I wanna stick around awhile and see if I can grow

when you cry cuz everything good gone literally memories now!!

Rest in paradise Manuel your forever missed 😞💔

The sound of them bring me throught good times and bad times. Thank vinnie & co. for the force to fight this life 👊❤ you guys are my gods 🙏🏻

been following vinnie for so long, and i still come back to this song in amazement. way to go vinchenzo

If anyone's interested in hearing where the backbeat is sampled from (and be amazed by how two very different genres of music can meld!), it comes from Sufjan Steven's "Dumb I Sound". Check it out!!!

The legend is always the same

I’ve been alone for about as long as I can remember, this song is one of many that help me move on. Self medication is my dedication

This album literally saved my life

This whole album is so full of emotions and feels. This song in particular gets to me.

I'm whiter than white, live in the uk, look like a dork. doesnt mean i cannot enjoy hip hop. and i mean proper hip hop like paz and doom. Long time fan of JMT.

Prop's from an angolan guy, we also love real rap, JMT forever.
