[Jay Electronica, Tone Treasure - Jazzmataz Guru Tribute lyrics]
We’ve got some difficult days ahead but it
Really doesn’t matter with me now
Because I’ve been to the
Mountaintop I don’t mind
Like anybody, I would like to live a
Long life longevity has it's place but
I'm not concerned about that now
I just want to
Do God's will and He's allowed me to go
Up to the mountain and I've looked over and
I've seen the Promised Land i may not
Get there with you but, I want you to
Know tonight, that we, as a people
Will get to the promised land!
And so I'm happy, tonight
I'm not worried about anything
I'm not fearing any man!
Mine eyes have seen the glory of
The coming of the Lord!
Boom bash dash
I had to break, I had to get away
Pack my bags, headed for Greyhound
It was a Monday time to start my mission
I felt that burning feeling in my soul
I had to listen
I had this re-ocurring dream from the stage
In a suit with a fade
I had set the game ablaze and
They threw me a parade
I stacked a little change and took
My family out the caves
But, I was trapped in a maze like a lab rat
And at the bottom of the barrel
Where they keep the crabs at
No Geico, no Aflac, nothing to fall back on
But the streets where niggas cussed out the
Police and sold they crack on
Better known as back home
Where they treat the Arabs and the
Spanish and the blacks wrong
There he go with that song
You may be tired but I spit what I'm inspired
From the Lord of the worlds cause
The devil is a liar
Say, I've seen the lightning flashing
(yes I did) and I've seen the thunder roar
But, you can't
(you can't keep me down for long)
Because I'm getting stronger
(Because I keep getting stronger)
My style is like a shot of Jack Daniels
A baby grand piano
Lightening Hopkin, smokin' cigs
Strummin' on the banjo
The son of man's the son of
A gun with hella ammo
Sheriffs shootin' Bob Marley, John J rambo
Six sextillion, 19 million
The holy pyramids say we all Allah's children
Voodoo for the pilgrims who bring
Weapons and conceal 'em
They silence you with force and
Then indoctrinate the children
Yo Gabba Gabba
Ahmadinejad will blow up your apartment if
You don’t observe the Sabbath
I look the devil in his
Eye and say abracadabra
Then drown 'im in the mighty
Light his brain couldn’t fathom
Scrappin' every day, just like fight club
A thriller and a smooth
Criminal like Mike was
Say, I've seen the lightning flashing
(yes I did) and I've seen the thunder roar
But, you can't
(you can't keep me down for long)
Because I'm getting stronger
(Because I keep getting stronger)
Really doesn’t matter with me now
Because I’ve been to the
Mountaintop I don’t mind
Like anybody, I would like to live a
Long life longevity has it's place but
I'm not concerned about that now

Do God's will and He's allowed me to go
Up to the mountain and I've looked over and

Get there with you but, I want you to
