    I couldn't understand, I said "I don't comprehend"
    Then we flew to an island of the coast of Japan
    He took me by the hand and show me things
    I got dizzy as the info overloaded my brain
    He said: "In 1909 Construction began,
    with the wheel shaped airplane that's built like a planet
    A few years before the federal reserve went off the gold standard the Wheel went up,
    then the stock market crash and the seal went up,
    this is 1929, the deal was up."
    On another level.

The way he s doing it now is like getting a blessing every few months or so. Much Love to all those who are connected to the Spirit of God. Those who after hearing this mans work feel Blessed.

    Verse 1: Jay Electronica]
    Flashing lights on a shiny object
    I felt three feet tall, like a hobbit
    It moved at a speed that my eyes couldn't di-tect
    My stomach felt queasy and I couldn't dodge it
    No, this ain't logic
    Belief in the unseen is hard
    Because the seen leaves scars
    It dance like the stars
    My ears went ring-ring
    Incoming message from Supreme Being
    Then light provoked my body
    I'm drifting off, I'll have a heart attack probably
    I'm lifting off, beam me up into the cockpit
    Swift and soft, I can't see the pilot
    Man, it must be heaven, it feels like heaven
    A real bright presence carried me home
    Swing low, sweet chariot
    I'm married to the throne
    I'm carrying my cross with a crown full of thorns
    Hosanna Hosanna, 20 miles from Atlanta
    Please rain down ?
    [Verse 2: Jay Electronica]
    They promised not to harm me
    A beautiful woman with hair wrapped around her body
    Tucked in her garment
    Led me to a room with a view for observation
    A dark-skinned man told me all about creation
    He shed a few tears, said he feared for the nation
    I stood in a trance with a feeling of elation
    Crying his eyes, this is what he said
    "America, America, how great thou art
    Oh, why did you have to go and break my heart?"
    I couldn't understand, I said "I don't comprehend"
    Then we flew to an island off the coast of Japan
    He took me by the hand, and showed me things
    I got dizzy as the info overloaded my brain
    He said, "in 1909, construction began
    With the wheel shaped airplane that's built like a planet
    A few years before the federal reserve went off the gold standard
    The wheel went up

    He could release song after song for 20 years, and most will still complain about an album. Music really isn’t packaged that way anymore. I think most want an album just to critique and compare to others. He’s dropped more dope songs than most rappers we revere.

      @matthewbabij37 3 года назад +1

      The album got 10x the amount of attention because it had 10 Jay z features. Plus he did a mountain dew code red commercial. If anything , I'd say he has a deeper fear of dropping the ball than a fear of ever catching it and scoring with it.
      In all I've seen from him in interviews and whatnot, he's a weirdo by all definitions of the word. LOL. Amazing rapper when he's rapping but just hanging out with him? He probably doesn't have much under the surface. He probably rants about conspiracies and things he saw on zeitgeist 15 years ago

    • @JAYSPLASHMUSIC
      @JAYSPLASHMUSIC 2 года назад

      @@GeronFletcher this is an egotistical perspective. From someone who desires the "Spotlight". Not every artist has the same goal or ethics behind why they make what they make. IMO he used jay z as a way to get people to LISTEN. Jay Z is very obviously inspired by Jay Electronica , and vice verse. The idea that he put jay z on his album "too much" is asinine tbh, seeing that Jay z is an alltime great artist. Why wouldnt you want your DEBUT album to feature an arguable top 5 rapper alltime? He drops what he drops, you either like it or not.
