“The Blinding” (feat. Travis Scott) Lyrics
[Intro: Swizz Beatz]
This make me want to talk crazy crazy crazy
[Verse 1: J A Y E L E C T R O N I C A]
Once upon a time there was a Likkle Yute
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

[Verse 2: JAY-Z]
Listen
I named my son Sir
You gotta call my son Sir
That boy already knighted
He ain’t even out his romper
You speaking on the kingdom
You betta 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 raising in the sun sir

[Verse 3: J A Y E L E C T R O N I C A]
You can catch this broad day light
You know this Kingdom come sir
That Wheel inside of a Wheel
Half of mile in circumference
The return of the Mahdi
It’s the return of the Ahkis
It’s the return of the lost and found
Tribe of Shabazz
The Anunnakis
The return of Mr. Shakur
Spitting out flam at paparazzi
[Verse 4: JAY-Z]
That’s my new style

[Hook: Travis Scott]
Blinding
Blinded by the light
See the stars
And our sun
[Verse 1: JAY-Z]
The gift that keep gifting like Babushka
Kush crushed up in the studio
Rolling cake pushup

[Verse 2: J A Y E L E C T R O N I C A]
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 flight
Hov hit me up like
What you scared of heights
Know 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 thread 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 a vice
When I look inside the mirror all is see is flaws
When I look inside the mirror all is see is Mars
In the wee hours of night tryna squeeze bars
Bismillah
Just so yall could pick me apart

[Hook: Travis Scott]
Blinding
Blinded by the light
See the stars
And our sun
