I Against I Lyrics

I-ya,
I against I,
flesh of my flesh,
and mind of my mind,
two of a kind but one won't survive,
my images reflect in the enemies eye,
and his images reflect in mine the same time,

I-ya, I-ya,
I against I,
flesh of my flesh,
and mind of my mind,
two of a kind but one won't survive,

Right here is where the end gon' start at,
conflict, contact 'n' combat,
fighters stand where the land is marked at,
settle the dispute about who the livest,
3 word answer,
Whoever survive this,
only one of us can ride forever,
so you and I cant ride together,
can't live or cant die together,
all we can do is collide together,
so I skillfully apply the pressure,
won't stop until I'm forever... one!

A door step where death never come,
spread across time til my time never done,
and I'm never done,
walk tall, why ever run?
when they move if I ever come?
bad man never fret the war, tell'em come
general we have the stock, the mad fire burn

I-ya,
I against I,
flesh of my flesh,
and mind of my mind,
two of a kind but one won't survive,
my images reflect in the enemies eye,
and his images reflect in mine the same time,

I-ya, I-ya,
I against I,
flesh of my flesh,
and mind of my mind,
two of a kind but one won't survive,
survive (x16)

Reign supreme in your U-N-I,
V-E-R-S-E with the sharpness,
narrow row building no space for partners,
no space for drivers, no space for walkers,
no space regardless,
your on my path then get off it,
hardheaded and unresponsive,
get they lives put on target with harshness,
come with the canons sparkin' they darken,
who am i? one man squadron,
Ma stir the fire this time that'd snatch your tomorrow,
the thousand yard spear that'll pierce through your armor,
you can get it on right now if you want to,
but when ya front 9 get marched through,
I warned you,
You know who forever belong to,

I-ya, I-ya
I against I,
flesh of my flesh,
and mind of my mind,
two of a kind but one won't survive,
my images reflect in the enemies eye,
and his images reflect in mine the same time,

I-ya, I-ya,
I against I,
flesh of my flesh,
and mind of my mind,
two of a kind but one won't survive,
my images reflect in the enemies eye,
and his images reflect in mine, survive
survive (x16)

This is the Quintessential battle of good versus evil. This takes place within his mind where the battle should start. This is where he defines who he is and only one will survive. His resolve to to win control of his mind. These lyrics are a powerful journey shared by Mos and done with a hero style that blows me away.

This song features Mos Def doing the vocals, it was on the Blade II soundtrack (Lot's of good stuff on there). It seems to me about someone who is about to showdown with someone very much like him, like a brother...or even himself.

I love the harsh, almost industrial, beats on this song. They pair very well with Mos Def's quick lyrical flow.

Great change from the typical Massive Attack flavor.

This song is a fighting song for me. Everytime I hear it my mind goes into battle mode.

It seems like it's about a civil war... You know, brothers against brothers, people pitted against their friends...

The lyrics are by Mos def but the music is definitely by Massive attack. The chorus of the song refers to the fight between Blade, who has vampire abilities, and another real vampire
