Situations like this, will make you think twice,
That's why instead of preaching death in my songs, I breath life, 



Jedi Mind Tricks (JMT) Always great tracks, I'm a major fan of their work. AotP (Army of the Pharaohs) was founded by JMT's MC Vinnie Paz (formerly Ikon the Verbal Hologram) JMT consisted of Ikon, Jus Allah and producer Stoupe the enemy of Mankind. Jus Allah split with the group but kept making tracks with them in AotP.

Jedi Mind Tricks - Uncommon Valor (feat. R.A. the Rugged Man)

Even though it's a JMT track, R.A. was legendary here imo.

The story he tells is based on his father's war stories in Vietnam.

The story being true makes it so much realer plus the way he spits this track is just

legendary.
