Jay Electronica - Light Years Lyrics






[Intro - MF DOOM:]
Ash Hadu Allah Ilaha Illallah
Wahdahu La Sharika Lahu by far
Rock rock y'all, between the tick tock y'all

[Verse 1 - Jay Electronica:]
I came out the Magnolia like the beetle
The genie of the incense smoke
From the church steeple, mixed with the prayers of the people
Pollination Subhana wa Ta'ala Nation
Global recalibration
Roc Nation causing shock waves in the basement
Seven thousand kilohertz
With every verse I heal the earth
With every line I drop the tears of man into a cloud
In a fine mist until it bursts and rain from the brain
Snowflakes for the pain
The flow is just so insane, we wondering why you came
Here's a jewel son, be yourself
Quit looking like someone else
Get your dignity off the shelf
The true jedi code is stealth stay in tune with whatever else
The asiatic galactic master of the atlas
Author of mathematics civilized the savage
Terrorize the clerics
Big black chief like Robert Parish
I broke the deputy neck while Metal Face shot the sheriff
Soul rebel in the deadly bout with the devil
Conquering every level
The best part is where I settle
Spread love through every ghetto, plus suburbia
Me over the track is a acquisition, a merger couldn't be any further
Woke the game up into a fervor, then disappeared like the burglar
The style you never heard of the very premise is murder
But sweeter than a Werthers
Roam the Earth like Bedouins and Berbers
The great ancient goat herder, emerging through your server

[Interlude - MF DOOM:]
Ash Hadu Allah Ilaha Illallah, Wa Dahu La Sharika Lahu by far
Rock rock y'all, between the tick tock y'all

[Verse 2 - MF DOOM:]
DOOM out the vortex to your neocortex
Your guess who spit the rawness is good as gore-tex
Metal Face turtleneck vest, built to support bras
Standard issue for broads, carbon like a sports car
Anybody ask- he retired
Tried to hold the villain to task- he was fired
Fired up, his own boss on strike
Accused of using hot pepper sauce on the mic (get)
Tossed on a spike or cross if you like
So be cautious, leave 'em nauseous as pork sausages
Salami and some bacon, some bacon and some ham
Plans get mistaken for a scam, ah damn fam
Bless the child who hold his own, none could master respect
Soundwave transform like Rumble rapture eject
It's more secret than Al Gore's wallet
Or Val Thor's comet
Or style wars, bomb it
Or that gal of yours armpit, darn it
(Wa Dahu La Shareika Lahu)
I promise

    The God DOOM said, “Salami and some bacon, some bacon and some ham” which I translated as “As-Salaam-Alaikum, Wa-Alaikum-Salaam”... 🙌🏼

    R.... H....

    Can you explain?

    R.... H....

    Franc Ayala no

    R.... H....

    Franc Ayala spread love through every ghetto and suburbia

  8. R.... ....

  11. C.... L....

    More jewels than the Diamond District.

  12. A.... f....

    doom for hip hop president.

  13. K.... N....

    They Sleep.

  14. C.... M....

  15. T.... L....

    The great ancient goat herder emerging through your server.

  17. 6.... r....

    Ok 🔥

  18. E.... O....

    i like it more than the original but the vocals are mixed too loud in this one lol

  19. D.... H....

    When DOOM comes in the beat wavers as if gis weight .oved or shook it.....like rumble ratchet eject...smfh DOOM is literally a fucking PILLAR of Hip Hop. He represents ALL things HipHop. He is the epiotome...im sorry

  20. D.... H....

  21. B.... T....

    Sample
    https://youtu.be/r9278FPqEO0

  22. V.... �....

    This is one of Jay's best verses. Right next to a prayer for Michael vick and TI.

  23. M.... S....

    R.I.P Subroc the hip hop Hendrix

  24. A.... G....

    Yo why isn't the rap game talking about how jay elect fucking obliterated this beat

    A.... G....

    Apollo G. All of his official guest verses are great but no one's gonna care until he drops a full projecg

    A.... G....

    Ryan Sansaricq maaaaan Jay's got over 50 songs that he's obliterated (go listen to A prayer for Michael Vick and TI, or Spark it up, or even Dealings) an album of 11 or so tracks ain't gonna change nothing. Never understood that, a lot of albums you see are just playlists of tracks, Jay's got more songs than a lot of artists. Buuut that being said in my list MF DOOM is still the G.O.A.T and Lupe Fiasco is rocking a second

  25. m.... h....

    thank fucking god

  26. S.... V....

    I didn’t understand why people kept complaining about the flute, then, I got good headphones. The difference is night and day and I only fuck with this version now.

  27. C.... A....

    if yall dont think jay electronica didnt bodied this song u need to listen to his verse

  28. A.... ....

    MF w/0 madlib can still be fire. Wow. Who knew?

    A.... ....

    Lol but Madlib is the one who produced this track

    A.... ....

    RebelBlockadeRunner And he was around before Madlib as well...

    A.... ....

    Literally everyone

    A.... ....

    Danger doom, he’s done joints with dilla and produced his own jawns. I like madlib too but he can kill it with anyone

  29. A.... L....

    DOOM out the vortex, to your neocortex

    A.... L....

    I lost my mind at his intro

  30. d.... ....

    Gooooodddd looks on the lyrics

  31. J.... C....

    Fatality

  32. A.... f....

    doom killed and raped this jtrack....jay did ok...kmd is back.

    A.... f....

    no doubt doom is at his universe he is the only one who spit better than jay i know electronica got mad talent but doom he at his own league

    A.... f....

    KMD isn't back and never will be, it's barely KMD without Onyx and definitely isn't KMD without Subroc.

    A.... f....

    meh jay was boring doom brought this track to life

    A.... f....

    doom is kmd

    A.... f....

    Adre fortheworld MF verse no doubt brought the heat...


    But Jay Electronica offered a whole other perspective. If you don’t understand the type of things he’s saying you’ll be lost. Art has a way of the viewer bringing something to it. That’s what Jays verses are.

  33. G.... L....

    That loud flute was a bit ironic to me, because most of the beats that are in the mainstream “trap” scene wash out the talent of the rapper or lack there of

    G.... L....

    Sounds very likely!

    G.... L....

    Good thing actual bars are spat here

    G.... L....

    lol i just flipped this samlple. ill be bak when I release it or someone grabs the beat

  34. R.... S....

    This is enjoyable and don't bust ur eardrums

  35. M.... R....

    Waaaaaaay better now that the horns aren't blowing my eardrums out

    M.... R....

    FUCK THEM HORNS

  36. P.... L....

    HOLY FUCK thank you

  37. a.... ....

    This is God send xd

  38. T.... L....

    peaceeee this is way better

  39. B.... ....

    My wig damn near blew off when i heard about this one. Literally my 2 favorite emcees...Funny as fate would have i'm not even surprised. My spidery senses should've told me this was coming. I am nothing but grateful. All i wanna know is how can i get on a track wit da gods. i gets busy. Check my Stone Cutters playlist.
