Jay Electronica - Abracadabra lyrics

Executioner: Do you have anything to say?
Alfred Borden: abracadabra

Wake up to your grave it's
The reminder on the clock
And those fleeting bit's of satisfaction
Turn to afterthoughts
But, if you say the magic word
You could call back all the birds
And see that fire in the sky
Burn everything back to life
You don't have to sleep to
Dream and live in paradise
Abracadabra, are you watchin' closely?
Can you feel the dawn approaching?

Alfred Borden: Maybe I'm just biding
My time maybe one
Day I'll open my hand, get your attention
And ask 'Are you watching
Closely?' Maybe a magic
Word or two and then I'll be gone

Alfred Borden: magic
Jailer: Oy! Borden get back here!

Alfred Borden: Thank you!
Jailer: Shut up! where's the bloody key?!

I overheard niggas saying Jay
Was on the verge
He could make Rumsfeld resign with
Rhymes he never heard commune with the birds
And can manipulate matter with
The usage of words throwin' dice on the curb
I'm the best and the freshest
With the written text, fuck what you heard
It's the, metaphysical, dolby digital
Any Joe'll tell you, the flow's so pivotal
Every word's literal
Each diatribe is sort of like an interview
Come get an inner view
Right past the man and the
Myth to the mineral
I was born uptown a mile from the river view
Look, I'm a simple man, ya understand?
Masterin' my temple man, tryin' to expand
But when they think you simple, man
They'll try to play you out
Like you a simpleton see what I'm sayin'
Niggas want pain not mercy
I'm writin' in my Moleskine on
The train to Canarsie
Stand clear of the closin' doors
The people are in constant fear
Of a Trojan War
The vehicle that's supposed to free
Us is just a whore
I gotta call 'em like I see 'em
Even if it means they'll sanction my per diem
The angels will thank me in the
Streets if I see 'em
Sayin', there he go but I
Wouldn't wanna be him holdin' up a three and
Reppin' for New Orleans let us begin
