Jay Electronica - Road To Perdition Lyrics
[Ronald Reagan:]
"And they say if we'll only avoid any direct confrontation with the enemy, he'll forget his evil ways and learn to love us.
All who oppose them are indicted as warmongers. They say we offer simple answers to complex problems.
Well, perhaps there is a simple answer—not an easy answer—but simple"
That's why I dropped the jewel on every verse you heard me shit on
Okay, it's a Slumdog opera
The tale of a king whose name wasn't on the roster
My road to glory was Road To Perdition
And Act II: The Turn is just the memoirs with no omissions
We came a mighty long way from standing near the stove
In the cold, the greatest story ever told
The realest niggas see the pain in my story boards
The true believers say, "Wallahi, I support the boy"
My life feel like a highlight reel
Get a slight chill
[Bridge - Jay Z:]
I got these niggas, Breezy!
Don't worry about it
My swag is on 1.21 gigawatts, 10 trillion kilowatts
Hardcore Thriller pop, Michael Jackson, nigga rock
Google me, baby, understand where I'm coming from
My destiny's to hit a grand slam when my number come
All hail the lyrical, Grand Wizard Imperial
Nigga signed the dotted line with Hov, that's a miracle
And I ain't leave the thugs alone
The humble in me will surely inherit the mud we on
And shoot up every club we clone
The flow is too atomic
The poetry's too Qu'ran-ic, the young prophet Muhammad
And I could drop a verse to change the whole vibration
The whole Roc Nation, the whole Live Nation
So pour libation
Beware, but prepare for the polarization, it's the globalization
Warn all the clergymen and notify Satan
I been waiting, this the notarization, I been patient
[Bridge]
A thousand kisses to the haters cause they made me greater
A thousand wishes from a million slaves could raise a savoir
A thousand disses to these dickheads at these major labels
From Big Daddy Kane to Big Daddy Kane and Abel
You pay a cost to be a boss, nigga, I paid the wager
Mastered both sides of the force and plus I made my saber
Yes sir, I'm a soldier of love
Drowning all my sorrows and woes in the club
My white boys say, "that shit you spit last year, bro
Was like a real fine Merlot and a cashmere throw"
Some black chicks say he ugly, white women they love me
My Asians and my mamis don't put nothing above me
I call it as it happens, the art of quality rapping
One autobiographical chapter could start up the rapture
And even though I walk in the narrow valley of death
All I see is green pastures, bitches screaming from the rafters

"My swag is on 1.21 Gigawatts"🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Jay Z suck ass wakAF
Even without an album he is my favorite rapper if he made an album he probably be considered one of the greatest rappers of all time and I grew up in an era with Rakim KRS one and BIG DADDY KANE and I can tell you he could hang with all of them
Nas shouldve been featured on this track
Still waiting for hov's verse
Come y’all know this MF God mode
He da goat 🐐
Why would u show how great u are just to not use it
Its like he wants to tell everybody dont get it twisted i can do this shit if i want to. its maddening
Sean Dafny its depressing
Calling it here friends. We WILL see a jay elec album in 2019. 200 years and were all free.
Fireeeeeeeeeee
I’m not sure they will understand why this is so important
Expansion is the goal
Unforgettable song ! Hiphop!
My swag is on 1.21 gigawatts, 10 trillion kilowatts
Hardcore Thriller pop, Michael Jackson, nigga rock
Wow!!!!!!!...... I'M SPEECHLESS!!!!!!!
The flow is too atomic
The poetry too Qu' ran ic
The yound prophet Mohamed
Shit is too melodic
For me personally there's no need for jay z on this track
blackdaripper yuuuuup you right!
you know some you keep forwarding or rewinding the best parts,you cant do it with this song,its good all the way
Holy f$%king $hit!!!!!!!!!! Fire.com....... he's killing em even in 2018
This song is better than the new Star Wars (real shit).
This is the best track I've found by jay electronica. He reminds me a lot of Killah Priest on this one! Probly heavily influenced by Priest
I noticed that too. Priest and jay elec r both so great
THIS man is the king of hip hop. Not Jay....NOT Nas......Not 50......THIS is the real right here. Wow.....
Damn straight !
LNP
I been stop waiting on his album to drop it ain't happening
Monster Jay elect is in my Yoda voice
That snare tho 🔥🔥🔥🔥
JAY IS IS THE BEST
Is Jay-z actually featured or do they just sample his vocals from that song off American Gangster (I forgot which one, I think its called "success")
Eric the second part of your sentence is correct my friend
Jay Electronica for president
I just took in Shia referenced this in his 5 fingers of death freestyle
ppl around me trying to bring me down so now I'm bumping this. drown out the negative
2017...Still going harder than anything new atm
💯.000
God flow
that! was not a feature
that first verse legit gave me goose bumps
Listen to Rapbi Ben Israel - General Emmanuel by kslackmusic #np on #SoundCloud
https://soundcloud.com/kslackmusic/rapbi-ben-israel-general-emmanuel
wtf is an album bro????!
elect been telling our story knowledge wisdom pyramids religion revolutions love and war.Long Live
2017 I'm still wondering who this 'Breezy' is
thareal me too
That's Jay making reference to Just blaze
I had to google this shit after hearing it on a radio. The beat is awesome though it doesn't come clear as I heard via radio. I think the dj was playing it from its original instrumental. Nonetheless Electronica goes hard lyrically on this one
Mastered both sides of the force plus i made my saber...... 🔥🔥🔥
drew peacock what does it mean
@GEO DEE star wars reference grey jedi shit
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The GREATEST story EVER told.
CUT IT OUT!!
i got that black on black skin tone....
Chief Poe Sturgis atrofat syndrome
if u disliked this track u don't know true hip hop go listen to lil wayne or some other garbage u don't deserve to listen to this anyways
'mastered both sides of the force and plus I made my saber'..... GOD LEVEL
I was thinking the same thing man, and if it werent recorded before this then it never happened highsociety
Samuel Lewis lol
1000000000
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Simply.
Please drop an album Jay Elect! The streets need it!
you guys realize he has to wait for the label to give him the green light to drop right? the game ain't ready to bring back that real
this shit makes be wanna smash my balls with a hammer until the song is finished
Bola Head Weirdo....
If you dislike this, please tell me how you managed to survive all of this time on this earth, because its obvious you make poor choices in life
i feel you!
JayZ is useless and unnecessary on this track. His voice was getting annoying tbh, just repeating the same two lines. Trying to steal what little shine JayElectronica is going for. Greedy as JayZ.
This is just a sample from another JayZ song I dont think he actually got on the track for this one. I think the song is SUCCESS with nas
Stop it...
Bro shut the fuck up 😂😂
its true though. not bc its jay z but production wise. kinda made it corny sampling him .wish he got in booth at put real ad libs
Yo, did he Disrespect Big Daddy Kane at 2;09. Talking bout Dick Heads at major labels like kane.
FLAMES!!!!
is that photo in giza pyrameds....
star glowing Yes it is indeed.
star glowing yes all the rappers rap bout pyramid religion science. It's real now in the world pay attention n do research it's "hidden" in plain sight
MIND OVER THE MASSES the coordinates to the pyramids equal the speed of light... The truth about the pyramids may be kept for some truths are better left unanswered
where they sample this beat?
If this mf won't release any music he should battle
Psycho Mantis lmaoo
I would Love to hear Nas on this track.
Ben Franklin ☔️☔️
Ben Franklin not on this beat nah too old fashioned
His delivery sounds so Esco here.
It's a conspiracy theory why Jay Elect been in the shadows for a long time..
Because Jay Elect was soo ahead of his time,He's waiting for other rappers to catch up to him lyrically and he is sitting on a few years worth of music maybe we aren't ready for just yet..He's cooking though,*PLOT TWIST* Jay z gave him the blueprint!
SOUL ON ICE I really hope this theory is true
Or it takes him a year to make a song he thinks is good enough to put out. Jay (Z) has said he's siting on the album, but years worth of material? I doubt it. From like 07 to 10 he was in a space where he was recording everyday. That material is what become his album that he wants to release one song at a time. Now days i bet he makes maybe one song a year. If that. All you have to do is look at how many features he's had since he released Act 1. He obviously isn't spitting this hot all year round or else Ab Soul would've gotten his feature. Bet he got like maybe 5 to 8 classics in the chamber he can let go any time he wants though.
Alex Corral yep
Only a few niggas on jay level.... daylyt, lupe fiasco, black thought.
Jay elect = wasted talent.
Still listening
You’re wrong!! How is it a waste? Do you have a clue how political the music industry is?..The more bluntly “truthful” & “spiritual” an artist is the less they’re pushed out there. Plus some ain’t willing to compromise or “play the game” come on bro, don’t curse his name like that.....
Peace and love x
his talent isn't wasted.... he already has at least 10 amazing songs out..... we just want more... and knowing there is an album done but not released hurts
If jigga was ever to unleash the Electra tape the hole game would be exposed and boring to him after .. might even expose jigga with that reckless tough.. #pause
Mos def, 3stacks & Dr Dre need to devise a plan and release good music ..
LogicTV "The saddest thing in the world is wasted talent..." A Bronx tale. I'm afraid this might apply to Jay Elec...A Bronx Tale is a Great movie with some life gems. 👍
