Jay Electronica - Shiny Suit Theory Lyrics

One two, one two, yeah, uh huh, yeah!
I'm sailing on a cloud, they trailing below
My shrink told me, "It's a feeling they'll ever know"
I pack up all my sins and I wear 'em to the show
And let 'em go, let 'em go, let 'em go, let 'em go
I'm sailing on a cloud, they trailing below
My shrink told me, "It's a feeling they'll ever know"
I pack up all my sins in every L that I blow
And let 'em go, let 'em go, let 'em go, let 'em go
In the land before time
A land before altar boys, synagogues and shrines
Man was in his prime
Look how far I go in time just to start a rhyme
The method is sublime, you get blessed with every line
I'm in touch with every shrine from Japan to Oaxaca
The melanated carbon-dated phantom of the chakras
Me and Puff, we was chilling in Miami
He said, "Nigga fuck the underground, you need to win a Grammy
For your mama and your family, they need to see you shined up
You built a mighty high ladder, let me see you climb up
Nigga what you scared of?
Terrorize these artificial rap niggas and spread love
Pollinate they ear buds
Like you supposed to, spit it for the culture
Pay no attention to the critics and the vultures
They rather have a shot of Belvy just to spite you
They casting judgments 'cause they feel they got the right to
Fuck 'em, I let the dice roll like The Father did
I gotta shine, it's in my blood, I'm a Harlem kid
I treat my babies right, treat my ladies ladylike
Hit them with a remix to make sure that they play me twice
I thought you said it's the return of the black kings
Luxurious homes, fur coats and fat chains
I'm sailing on a cloud, they trailing below
My shrink told me, "It's a feeling they'll ever know"
I pack up all my sins and I wear 'em to the show
And let 'em go, let 'em go, let 'em go, let 'em go
I'm sailing on a cloud, they trailing below
My shrink told me, "It's a feeling they'll ever know"
I pack up all my sins in every L that I blow
And let 'em go, let 'em go, let 'em go, let 'em go
In this manila envelope, the results of my insanity
Quack said I crossed the line 'tween real life and fantasy
Can it be the same one on covers with Warren Buffett?
Was ducking the undercovers, was warring with muh'fuckers
Went from warring to Warren, undercovers to covers
If you believe in that sort of luck your screws need adjusting
In the world of no justice and black ladies on the back of buses
I'm the immaculate conception of rappers-slash-hustlers
My God, it's so hard to conceive
But it all falls perfect, I'm like autumn is to trees
Aw, the doc interrupted, he scribbled a prescription for some Prozac
He said, "Take that for your mustard
Boy, you must be off your rocker
If you think you'll make it off the strip before they 'Pac ya
Nigga, you gotta be psychotic or
Mixing something potent with your vodka
It takes a lot to shock us, but you being so prosperous is preposterous
How could this nappy headed boy from out the projects
Be the apple of America's obsession?
You totally disconnected with reality, don't believe in dreams
Since when did black men become kings?"
You have no idea, yeah
The meaning to what I say
And you have no idea
Of how I got this way
Now hear my dreams
And by the time you wake
I'll look down from the clouds
See I'm on my way
I'm sailing on a cloud, they trailing below
My shrink told me, "It's a feeling they'll ever know"
I pack up all my sins and I wear 'em to the show
And let 'em go, let 'em go, let 'em go, let 'em go
I'm sailing on a cloud, they trailing below
My shrink told me, "It's a feeling they'll ever know"
I pack up all my sins in every L that I blow
And let 'em go, let 'em go, let 'em go, let 'em go

The Ambassadors -- Ain't Got The Love Of One Girl On The Mind.

1of my fav songs bru .mixin coulda been better but still dummyfye

Dope ❤️

Why isn’t this on itunes

202 people don’t believe in the return of the black kings luxurious homes and fat chains

In this manila envelope, the results of my insanity
Quack said I crossed the line 'tween real life and fantasy
Can it be the same one on covers with Warren Buffett?
Was ducking the undercovers, was warring with muh'fuckers
Went from warring to Warren, undercovers to covers
If you believe in that sort of luck your screws need adjusting

I just go off for some reason when Hov start

either nas or camron uploaded this video because of the description and thumbnail

in this manilla envelope, the results of my insanity (YAY!!!!)

Here from the JBP (joe budden podcast). Forgot about this one...

Jay electronica went over you fools heads, just like always

Magnolia Finest Uptown Finest 👑 Jay Electric. Salute Hov Marcy Poster Boy

Still waiting for the album

"Look how far I go in time just to start a rhyme." That's a deep line.

J elect made jay z get in his FUCKING BAG

Every time. Wish they had more together.

pete rock sample crazy hard

a masterpiece

Look how far I go in time just to start a rhyme

“I went from warring to Warren, undercovers to covers.” Mastery of word play on full display.

Straight fire real rap

No Drums....such an inelegant record

Common
Jay-Z
Kanye West
Big Sean (Seriously)
Nicki Minaj (Seriously)
And Nas is my sixth.

Crack 🔥🔥🔥

Jay e and big krit would be dope

Jigga man dam!

There’s levels to this.

Jayz is brutally underrated as a lyricist and an MC.

No he's not.. his popularity and star power sometimes outshines it..

Jay Z was snapping as if Tupac was gone have a verse on this song after him! 🔥🔥🔥

LMFAO 😂

BOTH OF THEM ARE HAVING CONVERSATIONS WITH OTHER PEOPLE IN THEIR VERSES I'VE HEARD THIS SONG 100000000000 TIMES AND STILL CAN'T GET OVER IT. AMAZING

Marcel Allen Grammy family freestyle -HOV

_Jay Electronica & _*_Camel_*_ - Shiny Suit Theory_

You ain't shit! 😂

This so cold still. Need another 1

Mikey help me please

Arguably Jay-Z's greatest verse..

One of them

What's free verse 🔥

Why did Jay never release an album?

[Intro: Jay Electronica]
One two, one two, yeah, uh huh, yeah!

[Chorus: Jay Electronica]
I'm sailing on a cloud, they trailing below
My shrink told me, "It's a feeling they'll ever know"
I pack up all my sins and I wear 'em to the show
And let 'em go, let 'em go, let 'em go, let 'em go
I'm sailing on a cloud, they trailing below
My shrink told me, "It's a feeling they'll ever know"
I pack up all my sins in every L that I blow
And let 'em go, let 'em go, let 'em go, let 'em go

[Verse 1: Jay Electronica]
In the land before time
A land before altar boys, synagogues and shrines, man was in his prime
Look how far I go in time just to start a rhyme
The method is sublime, you get blessed with every line
I'm in touch with every shrine from Japan to Oaxaca
The melanated carbon-dated phantom of the chakras
Me and Puff, we was chilling in Miami

[Chorus: Jay Electronica]
I'm sailing on a cloud, they trailing below
My shrink told me, "It's a feeling they'll ever know"
I pack up all my sins and I wear 'em to the show
And let 'em go, let 'em go, let 'em go, let 'em go
I'm sailing on a cloud, they trailing below
My shrink told me, "It's a feeling they'll ever know"
I pack up all my sins in every L that I blow
And let 'em go, let 'em go, let 'em go, let 'em go

[Verse 2: Jay-Z]
In this manila envelope, the results of my insanity
Quack said I crossed the line 'tween real life and fantasy
Can it be the same one on covers with Warren Buffett?

Thank you!!

Classic

Classic track... unreleased or not 💯🔥🔥🔥

Jay electronica verse is crazy and Jay z verse is mentally disabled

Hova definitely outshined jay elect in this one

Hov Cooked Jay Elec twice facts
"We made it Freestyle" & "Shiny suit theory"

Jay Elec makes Jay-Z want to rhyme at his absolute best; spitting knowledgeable, deep meaningful lyrics, that sit with the listener for a long time. Hence why he is held in high esteem by Jay-z .

@Waka Paora true it's like he bring out reasonable hov

@Waka Paora Word!

Naw it's 1-1... they can't relate to our struggles my n... we made from slavery.

Whenever these 2 get together straight fucking 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

In this manilla envelope the results of my insanity

Pete Rock & CL Smooth -- I got to love

why did roc nation release this today like its new! smh this record 8 years old and they dropped it like it was new... that shit disrespectful to the real listeners... drop the fucking ALBUM!

Upncoming Productions they mastered it

2025..just wait on it

Please brother

more music

He said I let the dice roll like the father did(father Allah aka Clarence 13x of the 5%ers) I gotta shine it’s in my blood I’m Harlem kid. His bars is crazy!!!! He brought the best out of jay z tho.

I wish this was Jay z song he is the only one that can rap over old sample

Kelvin Shaw get off his dick nigga

Nice song

This shit is still dope....I was banging this back then and it still sounds fresh!

Hov went in on this easily top 5 GOAT rap artist no debate

Pay no attention to the critics and the vultures

Swaggoo

I'll verses and champagne 4 lunch helps my day

Such a gem.

This is shit.

A song of epic proportions, still

2018 💯🔥

Hov went in

Holy shit. This may be the best Jay verse.

God body

You must be psychotic or mixing something with ya vodka

I pack up all my sins and take em too the sea and let em go let em go let em go

This beat tho

Jay Z verse made an incredible song even more incredible if that's possible

Where did this beat come from?

I got that CBD in my system and just eating and ultimate cheeseburger from jack in the box on a Friday night

i still fuck with this man i wish he'd continue he is what inspires me today

This is probably the best Jay-Z verse since the mid 90s.

What’s the sample and or intro from?

Arm-Leg-Leg-Arm-Head

Is this on Spotify?

Trending racist H&M post brought me here

Locs of Love Saw it on Snoops post lol

me too lmao

I replay this when I’m at my lowest.

Jay electronica wrote the whole song!!

here because of Jimmi Pynk

Not a fan of jay-z, but that was probably the most lyrical verse I've heard by him. Not bad

U sound retarded

what is this sample?

That's why jay betta than nas. Swagg. Not only lyrics but delivery. Jay s more complete rapper

jay-z or jay-e

ezekwu he talking bout Z but I wouldn't be mad if he said both were lol

Agreed. Jay has more flows and he can get on so many different types of tracks. Jay is easily the best MC since the Golden Era. RIP to BIG though, thats where he was headed.

I only heard 3 songs from jay electronica but the impact is crazy another rapper never gave me this feeling from only 3 tracks? This nigga need to put some more shit out!!!! This track sounds like Pete rock song one and a million,,,,

It all Falls perfect, I'm like autumn is to trees

jay elec a genius

the dream really killed the outro

Camel - De boss mastered da drought

The hook is fucking ridiculous. NO ONE COMES UP WITH SOMETHING LIKE THAT
