Some music isn't meant for everyone, the club, or the masses. Some is just meant for you. Just listen and feel it. It's an art to make your lyrics an extension of your life. What hip hop is truly about.
I like that one line "but I keep getting visits from the ghost of the past so I spark another L and I go to the pad" You relax yourself and look your past square in the face and say "I see you, but you have no power over me" and then you can utilize the moment for yourself. Really inspirational.
[Verse 1: Jay Electronica] Have you ever ever ever been depressed so bad It was a struggle every day not to regret your past Feeling cursed like you never ever get your swag And you was speeding down the highway when your threshold pass When you cried all your tears out And one page of your diary can tell you what your year ’bout That’s a lonely place My mama said “Son, why such a lonely face?” Because the pressure’s on me Plus I feel like Bill Murray trapped in Punxsutawney Dr. Phil told me that I can sell crack or hit the army Look at where we live at Tell me you don’t hear that Tell me you don’t feel that Show me to the way out Tell me when pastor Raphael gon’ reveal that If not, man I’m outta here I’m just a sleep walking robot that’s outta gear I stick my nose out the water to the sky for air Lama sabachthani I’m trying to see light but the devil trying to blind me The grim reaper walking with his shovel right behind me Trying to introduce me to the untimely unkindly I Walk the line finely like Johnny Cash But I keep getting visits from the ghost of the past So I spark another L then I go to the pad [Bridge]
you want all the good stuff to be stucked in Underground ? how archaic ur mind thinks,.. fuck it, i want this talent to shine up to the center stage of the mainstream and diffuse all the fakes there, if Nas didn't switch with It was written album that shoot him up front,. he wouldnt be respected as he is today.
nothingmuch44 key word was "sometimes". As for Nas he'd still be legendary status off of Illmatic alone. To be honest Nas hasn't changed his style at all. Also you misunderstood by thought processes. Even with Jay's backing he will have a hard time getting mainstream success. No drill/trap beats and wack rhymes. Ask Talib, Common and Mos. They all put out great music but don't get anywhere near as much play as Future or Wayne.
different music for different moments in your life. no soundtrack is the same type of song over and over again its a wide spread of difference. enjoy what you can and dissreguard the rest but remember that your ears are never wrong! no matter what anyone says
"Bill Murray trapped in Puxsutawney." Guess feeling like that is part of the human condition. Euphoric highs and rock bottom lows alike. To go through life experiencing strong emotions should remind us that we are alive, like taking a deep breath on a cold morning. Hope life doesn't seem like more downs than ups. More loses than wins. Take care man.
+Publius Aelius Hadrianus Sometimes it does feel like more downs than ups. But comments like yours are like sparks of hope in the darkness. Thanks for the good wishes.
No he need a fucking album,.. he need to be organized, instead tracks here and there,. i need a full conceptual project from Elect. thats how i like to follow my fav Mcs
Music in one of its finest forms. If I was in the military I'd probably listen too this on the way over; and if I made it back home I'd also listen to it until I say my family.
the second to last comment is perfectly on point! electronica hasn't dropped in three yrs roughly and he's still the most anticipated in 2013 without question.
Great art can't be rushed. When and if he's ready....an album will be dropped. Jay is in his own lane and will never put out product just for the sake of it. He is the exception, not the rule........when the rule (timeless heart felt music) should be how all artists operate.
Yo this nigga is a prophet he doesn't need to drop and album he drops jewels!!!! Sometimes an album comes with a lot of other bullshit like selling your soul or they gonna wanna control or limit what he says because he spits the truth they don't want him enlightening us!!!! Be thankful for these songs,, an album proves nothing to me mad rappers have albums but never put out powerful music,, I rather get rare jewels once in a while from him because his songs are so deep they never get old!!!!
Just Blaze is that dude man I swear. Jay Electronica needs to work with Kendrick and Ab Soul though, mainly Ab Soul they are such a perfect match. My top two rappers right now.

i love that anyone that personally loves and identifies with this song are, by default, connected to each other....tell me you dont feel that.
Indeed friend... blessings amdist struggles.
Word!!! “Tell me you dont feel” that even came in sounding like jay elec
Bless up
I had even heard the song yet and liked this.
@@hiphoptthboneuknofam6192 I read it in Jays voice
For the ones who are having a bad day. Cheer up. Greatness awaits you.
bless you.
YeahItsSteven Peace to you sir!
Needed this, good looking out bro
***** No problem sir!
I had a bad day at work needed that pick me up
something about the way this guy's songs sound makes me feel like I'm larger than myself, and anything's possible. It's a strange thing
Hell yeah. That's why he has a cult following.
Word.
Not strange, energy.
perfect way to articulate how his music makes me feel
Straight truth. He has me mystified.
This track needed a second verse so bad. Dammit Jay... you lazy, talented bastard.
Jacobi Simpson I agree so much I was like my man come on a snippet
😳🥺
Nah, perfect as is.
Jacobi Simpson facts
Kendrick Lemur did the second
IF YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW INCREDIBLY GIFTED THIS BROTHER IS, THEN I DON'T EVEN WANT TO EXPLAIN IT TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FACTS
Thank you
You could explain it until your face turns blue. They won't understand
REAL TALK SELFISH
@@charlesjonesjr.864 I would and do
Have you ever ever ever been depressed so bad it was a struggle everyday not to regret your past ?
+Dominic Bax feeling cursed like you'll never ever get your swag
+bigbiz800 "when 1 page in your diary could tell you what your year's about"
yeah, this guy really lived it
Real shit. That one line did it for me
shit deep as fuck !
This is amazing. Hope he releases an album some day.
its saturday night im fuckin high alone listening to this
(y)
Hahaha me right now man

EM don't want the living G.O.D. smoke......Elect is top 10 All-time with just Mixtape songs.
Can't give this another thumbs up!
Thank you Jay Electronica. For everything.
After all these years, Jay still touches the soul. May Allah continue to bless him 🤲🏾
though he'll probably never drop his album, I appreciate these songs he dropped.
+Steve O Let's start a kickstarter?!
@Jarek Kopicki appreciate what he gave
He supposed to drop it in March now
Steven Lewis he finally dropped and it’s amazing bro
Update:He just dropped the album
The cure to a broken heart the words of spoken art
I listen to this song daily. It's just too good to get over it.
Lyrically narrated my struggle. #truth
so much FUCKING POTENTIAL, DROP AN ALBUM DAMNIT lol
I say this EVERY TIME I listen to a Jay Electronica song
Korian Woods me too until i realize how powerful his music was. he needs to jus release any thing right about now.
K Guevara He just dropped a new song called "Better in tune with infinite" if you haven't heard it. I personally think it's fucking amazing.
His new track dropped. His train is always running on schedule according to Jay Elect.
We can't rush ;)
poetic depression
Cant believe how dope he is, heard his name a thousand times but first time actually paying him some mind Wow!
And shame on you to, smh
Jay electronica is my only reason I have faith in hip hop these days. He's the light in the darkness
[Verse 1: Jay Electronica]
Have you ever ever ever been depressed so bad
It was a struggle every day not to regret your past
Feeling cursed like you never ever get your swag
And you was speeding down the highway when your threshold pass
When you cried all your tears out
And one page of your diary can tell you what your year ’bout
That’s a lonely place
My mama said “Son, why such a lonely face?”
Because the pressure’s on me
Plus I feel like Bill Murray trapped in Punxsutawney
Dr. Phil told me that I can sell crack or hit the army
Look at where we live at
Tell me you don’t hear that
Tell me you don’t feel that
Show me to the way out
Tell me when pastor Raphael gon’ reveal that
If not, man I’m outta here
I’m just a sleep walking robot that’s outta gear
I stick my nose out the water to the sky for air
Lama sabachthani
I’m trying to see light but the devil trying to blind me
The grim reaper walking with his shovel right behind me
Trying to introduce me to the untimely unkindly
I Walk the line finely like Johnny Cash
But I keep getting visits from the ghost of the past
So I spark another L then I go to the pad
[Bridge]
I searched a few videos for one with the comment of lyrics, thanks
God this is beautiful!
meena Wilson So are you.
This is honestly one of the greatest pieces of art in hiphop music history.... the message
Sometimes I don't want him to drop an album. So all his stuff can become underground legend status.
you want all the good stuff to be stucked in Underground ? how archaic ur mind thinks,.. fuck it, i want this talent to shine up to the center stage of the mainstream and diffuse all the fakes there, if Nas didn't switch with It was written album that shoot him up front,. he wouldnt be respected as he is today.
nothingmuch44 key word was "sometimes". As for Nas he'd still be legendary status off of Illmatic alone. To be honest Nas hasn't changed his style at all. Also you misunderstood by thought processes.

They all put out great music but don't get anywhere near as much play as Future or Wayne.
“Im just a sleep walkin robot that’s outta gear... I stick my nose out the water to the sky for air”
this song has helped me through so much
fuckin word if I ever heard a word before my friend.
I turned this on cuz I'm going through some shit, got it on loop thinking about my life and whatnot.
Word, this and better in tune totally raise me up.
Poignant truth. Hope life is treating you better
I am actually bro! just gotta be patient sometimes
whose here 2022? - still relevant
good music will always last
"When one page in your diary can tell you what your year bout... That's a lonely place."
Damn..
Too many relatable quotables in this crafted masterpiece.
This joint give me chills B
Indeed. Thank you kindly sir...for saving my life and dropping wisdom and knowledge and understanding.
take your time jay this album gonna be a masterpiece
"yes sir yes sir!" haha I can picturing it being the greatest rap album or piece of music ever made right now!!!
3 years later... still no album
Willie Wealth he's waiting on me
Still waiting chief
Apparently it's finally coming next month
This is SOUL-HOP!!!
"I'm just a sleep walking robot that's out of gear."you have to be conscience to understand that line.
different music for different moments in your life. no soundtrack is the same type of song over and over again its a wide spread of difference. enjoy what you can and dissreguard the rest but remember that your ears are never wrong! no matter what anyone says
truly the greatest hip hop artist to ever grace a microphone. majestical, special, incredible, beautiful. jay electronica is a god amongst kings.
He dont need an album just put out at lest 10 new songs once in a while i figure out what to do with it lol
It makes me feel better knowing that I'm not the only one who's ever ever ever felt depressed so bad
"Bill Murray trapped in Puxsutawney."

Youre never alone in this world where we spawn from the same atoms
+Publius Aelius Hadrianus operative word being condition. Great observation
+Chuck Pee Thanks for the kind words. I'm taking things one minute at a time.
This song is beautiful, those beginning words can't be more any more true. The whole song in fact
I eat a bowl of navy beans a day to make my skin glow... my son's love that line. Thx for keeping the lessons alive Jay and for feeding the babies...
everytime i get depressed i come back here.
Hey me. About that time again
To me, he don't need a album
No he need a fucking album,.. he need to be organized, instead tracks here and there,. i need a full conceptual project from Elect. thats how i like to follow my fav Mcs
I'm sorry but this should hav 100 million views/likes....I wish he did another verse.
The diary line near the beginning gets me every time
I'm depressed so bad but Jay electronica gives me HOPE everytime when i listen to Him
just blaze really did his thing on these
True lyricist. Fuck all the bullshit and apprecitate this real shit..
Favorite song by Jay Electronica , you can feel his emotion and no other beat go as hard as this
すぇえっ
Musical genius
Music in one of its finest forms. If I was in the military I'd probably listen too this on the way over; and if I made it back home I'd also listen to it until I say my family.
The radio needs jay elect
the second to last comment is perfectly on point! electronica hasn't dropped in three yrs roughly and he's still the most anticipated in 2013 without question.
Just Blaze killed the Production and Jay Elect killed it as usual...he needs to release more music!
Same beautiful sample used in Sunshine by De La Soul
Bayeté - Free Angela (Thoughts... And All I've Got To Say)
this dude is special💯✔
I've forgotten all about him, til just now.
Timeless
Man....I CAN'T WAIT till his album comes out. He literally gives me the hope that he will be the second coming!
I love rap with jazz or classic rock
Yes!!!! Finally the whole song!!!! I looked so long for this!!! It like Christmas in April!!!
Jay electronica you are an inspiration and Poet. Much love :)
He's just too good... He's a Great
Best song i have heard all year, I really hope jay e. drops this album this summer!
He's a true emcee :))
Soooo I'm astounded by Jay's music... like damn...
i poured up a shot a whiskey for my man jay elec for this joint. a powerful firgure in the future or hip hop. all my love.
Amazing sample.
I'm so glad I found this.... Thank you Jay Electronica
This song relates to me so much @ the beginning.
Real live music....I miss the era.
Thank god..... i've been waiting for this song to comeout for over a year
Cold lyrics,flow, and beat.
I need an album from this man.
Great art can't be rushed. When and if he's ready....an album will be dropped. Jay is in his own lane and will never put out product just for the sake of it. He is the exception, not the rule........when the rule (timeless heart felt music) should be how all artists operate.
Yessir!!! Jay Elec.. You the truth.. The beautiful struggle spit so ill. Act 2 will be one of the best hip hop albums of this decade!!!
The version of him spitting it live has so much more soul in it but still one of my favorites
The man's music isn't to be judged, compared, categorized or nun of that, it's food to be digested and taken in as nourishment.
Jay's on a mission way past hip hop, all you people dying for the album just want to get the leak for free anyways...Do ya thing Jay Elec
Yo this nigga is a prophet he doesn't need to drop and album he drops jewels!!!! Sometimes an album comes with a lot of other bullshit like selling your soul or they gonna wanna control or limit what he says because he spits the truth they don't want him enlightening us!!!! Be thankful for these songs,, an album proves nothing to me mad rappers have albums but never put out powerful music,, I rather get rare jewels once in a while from him because his songs are so deep they never get old!!!!
i feelz you brah. all about balance within the music and living vicariously.
Finally! Totally worth the wait.

God Bless Your Heart For Posting This
Respect
So excited for act ll. Jay electronica ftw
Just Blaze is that dude man I swear. Jay Electronica needs to work with Kendrick and Ab Soul though, mainly Ab Soul they are such a perfect match. My top two rappers right now.
One of my favorite songs of all time.
Definitely adding this one to my 4/20 list of songs
I've been waiting for this for so fucking long. I feel blessed
Yung Gud
one of the dopest verse ive heard in a looooooooooong time
"one page of your diary can tell you what your year about" my life in a line
I always thought this beat was sick especially under the rain!!!!!!
Just talent being properly utilized. Keep going Jay Electronica 🙏
Rollin' through the woods on dub, all black hoodies, carry torches, bangin' the sub, just like I said so.
this is beautiful
a masterpeice! nothing short of it....in my opinion of course
If Jay Electronica and Earl Sweatshirt made a track together, it would literally make my life.
Well he IS a top notch emcee one of the only ones producing soulful music
LOVE IT!! LOVE IS LOVE 🎶🙏🏼🙏🏽♎️✨
