[Jay Electronica]
Have you ever had that feeling like you been falling for weeks in a well?
I was on the verge of dying like E.T. in the bald spot in the forest, right next to the speak and spell…
Tryna phone home but the signal wouldn’t reach the cell…
Tryna hold on a little longer teeth and nail
Without a hand to wipe the tears away from my cheek when they fell
When I couldn’t get peace from a pipe or chiefing an L
I thought of the words of pastor Dunn when he said;
“Son, at first they screamed hosanna on the highest then turned around and crucified the christ after a week in jail”
Stick to the script like paper clips and coffee stains
Never let a seed of doubt deter you from your lofty aims
The will us much stronger than the flesh
And it only grows stronger when you’re going through duress
Imagination is the factory that makes legends…
Close Your Eyes and dream B.I.G. like Faith Evans
The 'film' is bit too artsy, but otherwise another great collaboration between The Bullitts and Jay Electronica.
Sentimental rain drops
The tears fall in increments
Like incremental pain drops
That wash away the stained spots
The Western World is just a hive of Scum and Villainy
That's why Superheroes wear disguises in trilogies.
When the future is uncertain,
And the wizard is just a man inside the booth behind the curtain
Behaving like a serpent
With a bag full of everything,
Except your home,
Just remember, be yourself,
And accept your own,
Or Run & Hide...
The footage from 'Run and Hide' is from Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí's Un Chein Andelisua, which is way better when The Pixies do it:
