Serkan Kopuz` The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught That Allah who who came to us Here in North America in The Person of a man Named Master Fard Muhammad. Had a planet like Plane that is a half a mile by a half a mile built on the Island of Napa off of the coast of Japan. It was made with the intention of destroying America first.

I know a bit about American financial history. I dont know if I'm being to specific. But the story of him meeting a God like figure and explaining thing is out of order. The Federal reserve went off the gold standard in 1971 , Nixon did that. That far after the depression of 1929.

Verse 1: Jay Electronica] Flashing lights on a shiny object I felt three feet tall, like a hobbit It moved at a speed that my eyes couldn't di-tect My stomach felt queasy and I couldn't dodge it No, this ain't logic Belief in the unseen is hard Because the seen leaves scars It dance like the stars My ears went ring-ring Incoming message from Supreme Being Then light provoked my body I'm drifting off, I'll have a heart attack probably I'm lifting off, beam me up into the cockpit Swift and soft, I can't see the pilot Man, it must be heaven, it feels like heaven A real bright presence carried me home Swing low, sweet chariot I'm married to the throne I'm carrying my cross with a crown full of thorns Hosanna Hosanna, 20 miles from Atlanta Please rain down ? [Verse 2: Jay Electronica] They promised not to harm me A beautiful woman with hair wrapped around her body Tucked in her garment Led me to a room with a view for observation A dark-skinned man told me all about creation He shed a few tears, said he feared for the nation I stood in a trance with a feeling of elation Crying his eyes, this is what he said "America, America, how great thou art Oh, why did you have to go and break my heart?" I couldn't understand, I said "I don't comprehend" Then we flew to an island off the coast of Japan He took me by the hand, and showed me things I got dizzy as the info overloaded my brain He said, "in 1909, construction began With the wheel shaped airplane that's built like a planet A few years before the federal reserve went off the gold standard The wheel went up Then the stock market crashed and the seal went up This is 1929, the deal was up"

[@davidm6293]

Where you have the question mark I think he says “please rain down mana” (pervasive supernatural or magical power)

[@davidm6293]

Thank you for these lyrics 🙏🏻

[@ryandunson5387]

I do believe he's dropping the album but really what does it matter. This song is better than anything out. Jay is Annoited .Why aren't y'all satisfied with hearing a killer song every now and then. When the album comes out we will listen to it until we get familiar and then we will want more. The way he s doing it now is like getting a blessing every few months or so. Much Love to all those who are connected to the Spirit of God. Those who after hearing this mans work feel Blessed.

[@realone7524]

His reluctance to put work out is his biggest downfall, almost a knock on effect of being a perfectionist. This track is the best song I’ve heard in months. And he didn’t think it was good enough damn man how good is this man.

[@realone7524]

Maybe the message was too much for the mainstream ears or it is an unfinished track

[@greenclean3917]

[@IAMMEDIA.]

I think the album is bad cos he doesn’t have much to talk about except Nation of Islam and Elijah Muhammad. It’s like he’s old but doesn’t have enough life experience at the same time to rap about

[@takeover5478]

[@TayonR]

He could release song after song for 20 years, and most will still complain about an album. Music really isn’t packaged that way anymore. I think most want an album just to critique and compare to others. He’s dropped more dope songs than most rappers we revere.
