Jay Electronica - Ruff Sketches lyrics
[Jay Electronica - Ruff Sketches lyrics]
I never could've made it without
The prayers of others
I never could've made it without
The care of my mother
Never could've made it without
My grandma Dorothy Flowers
Who read me from the "Book Of Psalms"
Before she tucked me in the covers
She looked me in my eyes and she
Cried as she made the point
Trials, they purify but they take
You to your brеaking point
The swift is the swift but this
Race is a long onе
Just keep your eyes on the sparrow
You'll be good in the long run
Now Im rolling out the carpet for
The Christ on the throne coming
This ain't "Watch The Throne
" this is more like "Watch the Homecoming"
No diss to Yeezy but I promised to my momma
I'm going Dolly with the llama if I
Ever make it on the TV
I emerged from the darkness like
Jesus out of the tomb
My skin clothing sin like Jesus
Out of the womb it took years
Months and days for this wildflower to bloom
My cocoon was a mix of light and
Dark like either sides of the moon
40 days and 40 nights like Musa and Harun
They tried to write me off like
The Little Planet platoon but it
Only take 8 mins and 21
Seconds for sunlight to consume
Now im basking in the light of all
Of those who came before me
And Alhamdulillah means "To GOD be the glory"
The Lord is my Sheppard
My rock and my salvation it's just me
My universal flag and my Aziatic Nation
Bars nigga, bars nigga, bars nigga, bars
There ain't no other click can spit
Their spittle next to ours in the stone
I found the answer: earth wind and fire
For this project, I dropped the Electronica
And we merged both the J's
And put a "C" after
The "Y" so that the "Z" stands for CZARS
