Jay Electronica - Real Magic

[@coletivating]

Intro: Ronald Reagan] Winston Churchill said that "The destiny of man is not measured by material computations When great forces are on the move in the world We learn we are spirits, not animals" And he said "There's something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space Which, whether we like it or not, spells duty" You and I have a rendezvous with destiny We will preserve for our children this The last best hope of man on earth Or we will sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness [Verse 1: Jay Electronica] Sometimes I don't know what to say This a genuine miracle I woke up today, so I got up to pray But, my BBM was pinging when My Android started singing then I missed all of the glory for technological luxuries And just like that, I forgot all of the trees And the flowers and the breeze carryin' seeds across the seas Extra honey in my tea but pay no homage to the bee Whatever happened to us? And will we ever let the magic come and tap into us? We preach apocalypse written by John the Revelator But won't even speak to a stranger ridin' on a elevator Or step to the side when we standin' still on a escalator The planet earth is a hospital, we on the respirator I don't regret the haters Chorus: Jay Electronica] Sometimes that's what you need to see yourself Break through and free yourself, accept your own and be yourself It's magic The story of life is too tragic It's magic [Verse 2: Jay Electronica] This is The Turn, they ain't ready for Prestige yet The flow is too collegiate, the show is too prestigious Pretty like a flower, refreshin' like a shower Depression makes me sour, but it's still a feelin' My human heart and all my senses say, "It's still appealin'" I could be dead and gone, a brass band The second line, I could be headin' home And passersby may shed a tear after she read the stone This is luxury The story of life is not tragic It's magic [Chorus: Jay Electronica] Sometimes that's what you need to see yourself Break through and free yourself, accept your own and be yourself It's magic The story of life is not tragic It's a luxury Regards from rap genius

As dope as a lyricist as Jay is I always enjoy his production the feel and the applause with the kids screaming yyyaayyyyy is always been 1 of my favorite signatures on records.

[@mightyman2404]

Jay. This track touched me. I don't care if we don't share the same faith, you are my family by bloodline. We all must return to having love and accountability towards the ALMIGHTY and one another again. 2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV - If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Proverbs 30:4 KJV - Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell? Psalm 68:4 KJV - Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.

It's crazy. I'm always puzzled by why I'm the only one buggin out over his lyrics. Dude is cold! If he cared he'd be the G.O.A.T. with no equal.

Ronald Reagan👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 "Extra honey in my tea, but we don't give homage to the Bee😌" *Life is not tragic. it's magic* Don't be deceived by the devil God's hands built and owns it all.. Don't ever fret when the enemy gets away with things it's all being allowed for a purpose like our purpose for being here we don't know or understand, but we'll be shown if we hold on to his unchanging hand..Being still while doing the right thing will get you the answers that you need not want because we forget that we're still safe and here when the enemy does things behind the scene..God is our shield for so many things and those who continue to do wrong to their Brothers and Sisters always see and feel the power of God but are to embarrassed to turn to him because of all they have done not knowing the he wants them to...Happy Saturday❤ Goodmorning and God Bless 🇺🇸 Keep God first🙋🏾‍♀️
