“Shiny Suit Theory” feat. The Dream Lyrics
[Chorus: J A Y E L E C T R O N I C A]
I'm sailing on a cloud, they trailing below
My shrink told me, It's a feeling they'll ever know
I pack up all my sins and I wear 'em to the show
And let 'em go, let 'em go, let 'em go, let 'em go
I'm sailing on a cloud, they trailing below
My shrink told me, It's a feeling they'll ever know
I pack up all my sins in every L that I blow
And let 'em go, let 'em go, let 'em go, let 'em go
[Verse 1: J A Y E L E C T R O N I C A]
In the land before time
A land before altar boys, synagogues and shrines
Man was in his prime
Look how far I go in time just to start a rhyme
The method is sublime, you get blessed with every line
I'm in touch with every shrine from Japan to Oaxaca
The melanated carbon-dated phantom of the chakras
Me and Puff, we was chilling in Miami
He said, nigga fuck the underground, you need to win a Grammy
For your mama and your family
They need to see you shined up
You built a mighty high ladder, let me see you climb up
Nigga what you scared of
Terrorize these artificial rap niggas and spread love
Pollinate they ear buds
Like you supposed to
Spit it for the culture
Pay no attention to the critics and the vultures
They rather have a shot of Belvy just to spite you
They casting judgments 'cause they feel they got the right to
Fuck 'em, I let the dice roll like The Father did
I gotta shine, it's in my blood, I'm a Harlem kid
I treat my babies right, treat my ladies ladylike
Hit them with a remix to make sure that they play me twice
I thought you said it's the return of the black kings
Luxurious homes, fur coats and fat chains
[Chorus: J A Y E L E C T R O N I C A]
I'm sailing on a cloud, they trailing below
My shrink told me, It's a feeling they'll ever know
I pack up all my sins and I wear 'em to the show
And let 'em go, let 'em go, let 'em go, let 'em go
I'm sailing on a cloud, they trailing below
My shrink told me, It's a feeling they'll ever know
I pack up all my sins in every L that I blow
And let 'em go, let 'em go, let 'em go, let 'em go
[Verse 2: JAY-Z]
In this manila envelope, the results of my insanity
Quack said I crossed the line 'tween real life and fantasy
Can it be the same one on covers with Warren Buffett
Was ducking the undercovers, was warring with muh'fuckers
Went from warring to Warren, undercovers to covers
If you believe in that sort of luck, your screws need adjusting
In the world of no justice and black ladies on the back of buses
I'm the immaculate conception of rappers-slash-hustlers
My God, it's so hard to conceive
But it all falls perfect, I'm like autumn is to trees
Aw, the doc interrupted
He scribbled a prescription for some Prozac, he said, Take that for your mustard
Boy, you must be off your rocker
If you think you'll make it off the strip before they 'Pac ya
Nigga, you gotta be psychotic or mixing something potent with your vodka
It takes a lot to shock us
But you being so prosperous is preposterous
How could this nappy headed boy from out the projects
Be the apple of America's obsession
You totally disconnected with reality, don't believe in dreams
Since when did black men become kings
[Bridge: The-Dream]
You have no idea, yeah
The meaning to what I say
And you have no idea
Of how I got this way
Now hear my dreams
And by the time you wake
I'll look down from the clouds
See I'm on my way
[Chorus: J A Y E L E C T R O N I C A]
I'm sailing on a cloud, they trailing below
My shrink told me, It's a feeling they'll ever know
I pack up all my sins and I wear 'em to the show
And let 'em go, let 'em go, let 'em go, let 'em go
I'm sailing on a cloud, they trailing below
My shrink told me, It's a feeling they'll ever know
I pack up all my sins in every L that I blow
And let 'em go, let 'em go, let 'em go, let 'em go

[@The3DSMaxinator]

Jay Z touched on the bullsheit that successful black men have to go through, even among our peers. If you're successful as a black man, someone had to give it to you, you sold your soul to the devil or something other than actually earning your place via hard work and/or practice/talent/education. "Since when did black men become kings?" is the perfect summary of how "they" see us and how easy it is to get others to say "Yeaaah, since when?".

[@mightyman2404]

You sir, your comment has just made me reconsider this the best track on the album. All I can say is, we all need to beg YAHUAH and HIS only begotten Son YAHSHUAH Hamashiah for mercy now. Deuteronomy 28

[@mattwashington6400]

Yeah! Gonna either frame that quote or write it down and carry it in my wallet. Very impactful.

[@laughsinmisogyny8827]

True, people often assume you had it handed to you. Truth is, we are of royal blood, fooled into thinking we're servants. I mean look, we define the culture of America. Who are the NFL, NBA stars etc? What music is the most profitable, used in advertising and mixed in with traditional folk music? Rap! We invent due to our boundless creativity and impeccable leadership. We're just going against a majority, so I can only imagine what we can do when left unopposed.

[@thoththeatlantean1226]

You are victimmentality weaklings with no higher knowledge. Otherwise you would never blame another soul for the reality YOU manifest.

Jay (if you ever see this): Before this, "Exhibit C" was your dopest song, in my opinion. The content, rhyme scheme, delivery and cadence, wordplay. And a beat that's straight RIDICULOUS.) But this right here? DUDE. One of your best. (It appears I'm the only person out here who's just now hearing this song for the very 1st time.)

I had a dream that I walked among kings when I looked down from the sky saw many strange things. And as the clouds scattered words didn't matter, laid down made a bed with the words that I gathered. Lay there dreaming of the souls of the others. When I woke up I had the face of my father. And if they ask I'd say we wear a mask, just to make the ghosts last of those we loved in the past.
