Jay Electronica - The Day Lyrics






[Intro:]
Whack niggas sleep rappin' and woke up in trouble
Whack niggas with that sleep rap and then woke up in trouble
You were cool ten years ago, you fucking lex bubble

[Verse 1: Curren$y]
Brand new tires, Rollin down the same old strip
New party same old chicks
I'm so sorry
If I don't look happy to be here
In your label office but they said I can't smoke weed here
Man fuck it I'm out black on
And I'm bout it fool
I got a studio in my house
Along with some the perks
That come with my work
Pretty twenty something sleeping in my Diamond Supply shirt
There is not a adjective to describe how I work
Hard is not enough brother I'm tougher
Whack niggas with that sleep rappin' and woke up in trouble
You was cool ten years ago you fucking lex bubbles, bubble
You gotta know when to hold em', know when to fold em'
Learn how to roll with the punches
Take em' to school give these niggas brown bag lunches
If it ain't the jets then it ain't nothing

[Hook: Yasiin Bey]
Yo the king closed his cloak the set was overfull
Such a excellent moment, so emotional
He rushed out on the field, so devoted for
Final victory clutch they went postal cold
Glory overload, hold up hold my coat
Please remember this day
This changes everything we can do anything
Until you show anyway

[Verse 2: Jay Electronica]
My momma told me, "Son, always call a spade a spade"
Be like Chuck D never be like Flavor Flav
But that clock around his neck is so fly
And the way he complimenting Chuckie with that bow tie flow
Make me feel high so I'm gon' spit it my way
Excuse me as I do me cruisin' rudely down the high way
I'm young, black, intelligent, elegant, blasé
Back to the thesis
Back to to shooting kraps and talking smack to the polices
Back to black and gold ballys
Dickes with the creases
Pulling youngins by the coattails
Schoolin' em' who the beast is
I pray this flow is dumb enough ugh
I pray my heart is DMC and Reverend Run enough
Cause I'm a throw my number up
I'm a throw some chicken bones and feathers on a hundred bucks
And summon up the thunder what?
The voodoo man is coming bruh
Can't see the forest for the trees
It's okay, I got my jigsaw and my lumber truck
Tell them boys their run is up

[Hook]

    I HOPE YALL WASNT TYPING COMMENTS WHILE THE SONG WAS STILL PLAYING..VERY DISRESPECTFUL.. LOL THIS SHIT IS GREAT 

    J.... C....

    @Javon Cox oh shit..I came back to the same video and seen my comment from my old account. real lifer here

  30. g.... p....

    just cause jay electronica raps about more intelectual topics it doesnt make him a better rapper, curren$y has dropped at least 20 mixtapes and still stays consistant that alone shows how good he is, he doesnt rap about pyramids but lyrically he can match jay electronica on top of that for every jay electronica verse theirs 20 curren$y verses, curren$y is the bret favre of this shit, dont get me wrong tho jay electronica is one of my favorite rappers but saying hes clearly better is disrespect

    g.... p....

    gibran paris theres level to this shit currency nice but the real ones know jay on another level

  31. D.... ....

    still waiting for electronica to drop an album, hurry up nigga you taking long

  32. E.... C....

    on the fucken real bruh!

  33. E.... C....

    gtfo nigga, obviously you havent listened enough to andretti #tillthenextlife

  34. L.... T....

    i don't fuck with jay all that much but if you're telling me this is one of his best verses then he isn't all that.

  35. J.... ....

    Hey I'm a hip hop producer and love making beats like this. I'm tryna produce for Spitta one day if y'all could check out my beats that would be awesome! You won't be disappointed! Thank you and God bless!

  36. D.... M....

    spitta and jay electronica... fire ass track

  37. J.... F....

    yes yes yes lmao!!!

  38. A.... ....

    You the gate keeper of this video? lmfao FOH this is youtube with a comments box

  39. T.... O....

    Mos Def brutalized that hook, Jesus Christ...

  40. n.... ....

    I GOT MY JIGSAW AND MY LUMBER TRUCK, TELL TEM BOYS THEY RUN IS UP

  41. W.... M....

    if you aint here for spitta leave? don't get me wrong spitta is that dude but if mos def and jay electronica on a track don't make you wanna check it out then you dont know shit about hip hop and i feel sorry for you. fuck outta here

  42. m.... ....

    I came for all three. They all dope

  43. e.... m....

    what mixtape or album is this from?

    e.... m....

    No mixtapes. This is on Curren$y album Pilot Talk (the first one) you can actually get all 3 together now in a bundle deal.

  44. W.... L....

    Im a throw some chicken bones and feathers on a 100 bucks, and summon up the thunder, What! The voodoo man is coming bruh.......wow, so southern

  45. H.... ....

    Are you kidding me? I listen to Curren$y but to compare him to JAY ELECTRONICA? Jay is one of the most intellectually stimulating rappers I have ever heard and his verse on this song is one of the best he's ever spit. Spitta doesn't even stand a chance against a true lyricist like Jay Electornica

  46. J.... K....

    Me when the bass drops after the hook -----> :D

  47. J.... J....

    9 people like Little Wayne and dont understand what real music is

    J.... J....

    J Jizza curren$y would tell you himself wayne is better

    J.... J....

    @Zach Adam hell no spitta has better bars, while wayne mumbles in half of his songs.

  48. J.... J....

    Curren$y is the fuckin man

  49. h.... f....

    I love Curren$y but Jay Elec makes him look like an amateur when he drops his verse

  50. n.... ....

    jay never ceases to amaze me.

  51. N.... F....
