When I was sleeping on the train |
Sleeping on Meserole Ave out in the rain |
Without even a single slice of pizza to my name |
Too proud to beg for change masterin' the pain |
When New York niggas was calling southern rappers lame |
But then jackin' our slang |
I used to get dizzy spells, hear a little ring |
The voice of a angel tellin' me my name |
Tellin' me that one day I’m a be a great man |
Transformin' with the MegatronDon spittin' out flames |
Eatin' wack rappers alive shittin' out chains |
I ain’t believe it then, nigga I was homeless |
Fightin', shootin' dice, smokin' weed on the corners |
Tryna find the meaning of life in a Corona |
Till the Five Percenters rolled up on a nigga and informed him |
«You either build or destroy, where you come from?» |
«The Magnolia projects in the 3rd Ward slum» |
«Hmm, it’s quite amazing that you rhyme how you do |
And that you shine like you grew up in a shrine in Peru» |
Question 14, Muslim lesson 2: Dip diver, civilize a 85er |
I make the devil hit his knees and say the Our Father |
Abracadabra! |
You rockin' with the true and livin' |
Shout out to Lights Out, Joseph I, Chewy Bivens, |
Shout out to Baltimore, Baton Rouge, my crew in Richmond |
While y’all debated who the truth was like Jews and Christians |
I was on Cecil B, Broad Street, Master, North Philly, South Philly, 23rd, Tasker |
6 Mile, 7 Mile, Hartwell, Gratiot |
Where niggas really would pack a U-Haul truck up |
Put the high beams on |
Drive up on the curb at a barbecue and hop up out the back like «what's up» |
«Kill a nigga, rob a nigga, take a nigga, buss up» |
That’s why when you talk that tough talk I never feel ya |
You sound real good and you play the part well |
But the energy you givin' off is so unfamiliar |
I don’t feel ya |
Nas hit me up on the phone said «what you waitin on» |
Tip hit me up with a Twit said «what you waitin on» |
Diddy send a text every hour on the dot sayin «when you gon drop that verse |
nigga you takin long» |
So now I’m back spittin that He could pass a polygraph |
That Reverend Run rockin Addidas out on Hollis Ave |
That F.O.I., Marcus Garvey, Nikki Tesla |
I shock you like a eel, electric feel, Jay Electra |
They call me Jay Electronica |
Fuck that, call me Jay ElecHannukah |
Jay ElecYarmulke |
Jay ElectRamadan Muhammad Asalama’Aleykum Rasul’Allah subhana wa ta’Allah |
through your monitor |
My uzi still weigh a ton, check the barometer |
I’m hotter then the mothafuckin' sun, check the thermometer |
I’m bringing ancient mathematics back to modern man |
My momma told me «never throw a stone and hide your hand» |
I got a lot of family, you got a lot of fans |
That’s why the people got my back like the Verizon man |
I play the back and fade to black and then devise a plan |
Out in London, smokin', vibin' while I ride the tram |
Givin' out that raw food to lions disguised as lambs, |
And, by the time they get they seats hot, |
And deploy all they henchmen to come at me from the treetops, |
I’m chillin' out at Tweetstock, |
Building by the millions, |
My light is brilliant |
