As dope as a lyricist as Jay is I always enjoy his production the feel and the applause with the kids screaming yyyaayyyyy is always been 1 of my favorite signatures on records.
I have this video saved and downloaded for over a year and have never seen your comment. I come to this song and better in tune with the infinite often for peace. Hope you’re doing better these days sir.
seriously its almost not even deserved today.. I wish this what more people were listening to because just imagine the change it could make or the inspiration it may give to those who need it most!
Jay. This track touched me. I don't care if we don't share the same faith, you are my family by bloodline. We all must return to having love and accountability towards the ALMIGHTY and one another again. 2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV - If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Proverbs 30:4 KJV - Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell? Psalm 68:4 KJV - Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.
Song is sad but makes your reflect on life. The story of life, the tragedies and the luxuries are all magic, which is what makes life beautiful and worth living.
Holy shit how has no one ever recommended this Gem to me? Better late than never I suppose . I think I need to listen to more Jay Elec to push my pen game but also topics
i never had listen to jay, he spoke with something depp in my mind. it kind of freak. seems like he are live sing to me his songs. cant explain right. just feel great.
Believe in magic and magical things will begin to happen that's the way the mind works. Believe in consistency and fall into slumber. Most of us are asleep we are still asleep because we're not dreaming.

Now this man is talking about something that is worth your time i just listen to like 7 or 8 different songs from new artists and some old like jadakiss bustas new album and to be honest none of them not one is was saying anything worth a dam now dont mistake Me for saying thay wack thats not the case thay was rappin thay ass off but wasn't saying nothing that i can apply not even enlightened me the least little bit that is not the case with this mans music
Jay Electronica-fuck that Call me Jay Elec-Hanukkah, Jay Elec-Yarmulke Jay Elect-Ramadan, Muhammad as-salaam-alaikum RasoulAllah Subhanahu wa ta'ala through your monitor
Ronald Reagan👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 "Extra honey in my tea, but we don't give homage to the Bee😌" *Life is not tragic. it's magic* Don't be deceived by the devil God's hands built and owns it all.. Don't ever fret when the enemy gets away with things it's all being allowed for a purpose like our purpose for being here we don't know or understand, but we'll be shown if we hold on to his unchanging hand..Being still while doing the right thing will get you the answers that you need not want because we forget that we're still safe and here when the enemy does things behind the scene..God is our shield for so many things and those who continue to do wrong to their Brothers and Sisters always see and feel the power of God but are to embarrassed to turn to him because of all they have done not knowing the he wants them to...Happy Saturday❤ Goodmorning and God Bless 🇺🇸 Keep God first🙋🏾♀️
The song definitely get me in my feelings no lie. “Ion regret the haters..sometimes that’s what you need to see yourself, breakthrough & free yourself, accept your own & be yourself” makes me think of my group of childhood friends who tried to snake & destroy me but ended up forcing me to find myself & lead me to a more fulfilling life in the long run ❤️🩹
@@Saltpeanutss you aint even give him an example.... Meta4ce did it in 2004 with the help of DJ PRZM who made the drumless beat called "True Hollyhood Stories" I dont think its even on youtube. Discogs the CD its worth it.
Intro: Ronald Reagan]
Winston Churchill said that "The destiny of man is not measured by material computations
When great forces are on the move in the world
We learn we are spirits, not animals"
And he said "There's something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space
Which, whether we like it or not, spells duty"
You and I have a rendezvous with destiny
We will preserve for our children this
The last best hope of man on earth
Or we will sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness
[Verse 1: Jay Electronica]
Sometimes I don't know what to say
This a genuine miracle I woke up today, so I got up to pray
But, my BBM was pinging when
My Android started singing then
I missed all of the glory for technological luxuries
And just like that, I forgot all of the trees
And the flowers and the breeze carryin' seeds across the seas
Extra honey in my tea but pay no homage to the bee
Whatever happened to us?
And will we ever let the magic come and tap into us?
We preach apocalypse written by John the Revelator
But won't even speak to a stranger ridin' on a elevator
Or step to the side when we standin' still on a escalator
The planet earth is a hospital, we on the respirator
I don't regret the haters
Chorus: Jay Electronica]
Sometimes that's what you need to see yourself
Break through and free yourself, accept your own and be yourself
It's magic
The story of life is too tragic
It's magic
[Verse 2: Jay Electronica]
This is The Turn, they ain't ready for Prestige yet
The flow is too collegiate, the show is too prestigious
Pretty like a flower, refreshin' like a shower
Depression makes me sour, but it's still a feelin'
My human heart and all my senses say, "It's still appealin'"
I could be dead and gone, a brass band
The second line, I could be headin' home
And passersby may shed a tear after she read the stone
This is luxury
The story of life is not tragic
It's magic
[Chorus: Jay Electronica]
Sometimes that's what you need to see yourself
Break through and free yourself, accept your own and be yourself
It's magic
The story of life is not tragic
It's a luxury
Regards from rap genius
All true n living facts , the intro and whole song all the way to end the song , Lessons n Blessings , PEACE TO ALl Cross the planet Earth
Yesssss
Chorus lyrics are outstanding.
Incredible...
Reminds me of chillin out with my 2 kids playing halo gaurdians together on our xbox's... that yaaay sound was in that game a few times...
This isnt for everyone. But a masterpiece for the ones it is for.
As dope as a lyricist as Jay is I always enjoy his production the feel and the applause with the kids screaming yyyaayyyyy is always been 1 of my favorite signatures on records.
I always hated the fact he accepted beats from jus blaze
its refreshing hearing happy black children yelling for positivity
It always works so well for him, it’s actually amazing how he does it
I always feel the fans are those kids lol. Like we’re all at a campfire listening to jay dogon
❤️ ❤️ ❤️ LOVE IT TOO... Yaaaaaaayyyyy!!!!
Song helped me through homelessness. Give thanks to Jay. Been a fan since 2010
Jay Electronica, thank you. You're helping me get through some hard times.
keep your head up homie. whatever you're going thru.. with the right mindset anything can be accomplished!
Prayin for you brotha
I have this video saved and downloaded for over a year and have never seen your comment. I come to this song and better in tune with the infinite often for peace. Hope you’re doing better these days sir.
God bless
this man is one of the greatest to ever rap
Jay elec is a walking Library. 🔥
So r u
This is the term. They ain’t ready for prestige yet
Restoring your life is not tragic, it's a luxury! Damn I've been getting it all wrong, micfan 2021
One of the deepest song ever.
Pure life.
Yeah it is
This song > A Written Testimony
Agreed
Truly a masterpiece. Such relevance will resonate throughout history. Timeless to say the least.
I don’t care,Jay Elec is one of the best to ever do it. So much soul in all his works.
“Depression makes me sour…… but it’s still a feeling 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️…………….” 🔥🔥
That's one heck of a lyric......
Jay is a Poetic device, alot of people just not intune or even have an ear to understand his words, and its life meaning.
It's crazy. I'm always puzzled by why I'm the only one buggin out over his lyrics. Dude is cold! If he cared he'd be the G.O.A.T. with no equal.
His music is not meant for everyone......."only the chosen"
I like the way he navigated the path.
Not a super whole lot of music tho just enough.
First time I've heard this song in my life. It's hitting different because the lyrics are in synch with my current way of thinking. It's beautiful fr.
❤ right
First class poetry. It's magic.
this song is so simple yet has so much impact, Jay is cut from a different cloth man no artist on his level.
seriously its almost not even deserved today.. I wish this what more people were listening to because just imagine the change it could make or the inspiration it may give to those who need it most!
You still think there are levels😌

Amen! This dude has been touched by God.
Anyone’s name written in the Lambs Book of Life will see Almighty God in Paradise
My favorite song next to Ezekiel's Wheel!
Bless Jay Electronica
Asé
God's music. God's love is a Luxury, and I am grateful.
Damn that hit me ….
One of the best lyrics ever written 🔥
Comme je suis encore tout jeune je n'avais pas entendu parler de jay électronique mais grâce à Jésus Lord ❤ j'ai découvert l'artiste 😢❤❤😢
Extra honey in my tea but pay no homage to the bee...
My favorite line
It's so much knowledge in just that 1 line
Context? 🤔
What a way to tell us how unappreciative we can be.

You gotta put da Ronald Reagan on da track! 😁👍🏼🙏🏻💎
His Greatest Piece. This song will be Legendary in time. almost in rememberance of how things was .
Perfection. Peace.
That intro... If you really get it you really get it
I love when Jay put presidential intro on his shit.
Believe in magic and magical things will begin to happen that's the way the mind works. Believe in consistency and fall into slumber. Most of us are asleep we are still asleep because we're not dreaming.
It's a luxury.
Sometimes I don't know what to say
It's a genuine miracle I woke up today, so I got up to pray
But my BBM was pinging when my Android started singing then
I missed all of the glory for technological luxuries
And just like that I forgot all of the trees
And the flowers and the breeze carryin' seeds across the seas
Extra honey in my tea but pay no to homage to the bee
Whatever happened to us and will we ever let the magic come and tap into us?
We preach apocalypse written by John the Revelator
But won't even speak to a stranger ridin' on the elevator
Or step to the side when we standin' still on the escalator
The planet earth is a hospital, we on the respirator
I don't regret the haters
Amazing.

Is this a new track?
Yes and no. Yes, because it's just came out at the end of 2020. No, because it was recorded in 2010 or 2011.
What’s the piano?
Does anyone know of the instrumental is a sample or not
If Ronald Regan was saying sh** like that then why is he the devil In revolutionary eyes 👀
🕵🤔💯💯💯💯

Listen to Act II then (which this song is from). Classic album
Same piano sample of Gangstarrs “What I’m here for.”
