The Blinding
(专辑: A Written Testimony - 2020)
[Swizz Beats:] This shit make you wanna talk crazy, crazy, crazy, I'm trying to... Kayfa ḥal-uk? Kayfa ḥal-uk, habibi? [Jay Electronica:] Once upon a
time there was a
likkle yout, the
cub of a
lion A
stowed away captive, a
long way home from Zion The
dove Prince sang about in "Purple Rain" crying To the
midget you heard tale of on the
shoulders of the
giant [Jay-Z:] Listen, I
named my son, Sir, so you gotta call my son, "Sir" That boy already knighted, he ain't even out his romper You speaking on the
kingdom, you better watch your tongue, sir I
send you where you never been, you forget where I'm from, sir? That gossip I
send bald heads, Lou Gossett out the
gun, sir I'm brazy, I'm so brazen, I'm "Raisin in the
Sun" sir [Jay Electronica:] You can catch this broad daylight, you know the
Kingdom come, sir That wheel inside the
wheel, a
half a
mile in circumference It's the
return of the
Mahdi, it's the
return of the
Akhis It's the
return of the
lost and found tribe of Shabazz, the
Annunakis It's the
return of Mr. Shakur spitting out phlegm at paparazzi [Jay-Z:] That's my new style [Travis Scott:] Blinding (Hit-Boy!) Blinded by the
light See the
stars and our sun [Jay-Z:] The
gift that keeps giving like Babushka Kush crushed up in the
studio, rolling Kate Bush up [Jay Electronica:] Extra, extra, it's Mr. Headlines Who signed every contract and missed the
deadlines 40 days, 40 nights, tryna live up to the
hype It's the
road less traveled, it's the
one who missed the
flights Hov hit me up like, "What, you scared of heights? Know your sister tired of working, gotta do her something nice" I'm like, "Don't he know I
stay up for Falon late nights?" She need bread, she need rice, she need threads, she need ice Either tell it to my bank account or say it to the
dice When I
lay down in my bed it's like my head in the
vice When I
look inside the
mirror all I
see is flaws When I
look inside the
mirror all I
see is Mars In the
wee hours of night, tryna squeeze out bars Bismillah, just so y'all could pick me apart? [Travis Scott:] Blinding Blinded by the
light See the
stars and our sun (Hit-Boy!) (G. Ry got me)
