Reflection Eternal, Jay Electronica, J. Cole, Yasiin Bey - Just Begun lyrics

We've only just be oh, yes indeed
I like this, I like this -gun
Ayo, Hi Tek
Do me a favor, man speed it up a lil bit

From the intro, you know I'm so influential
'Cause I'm glowin' like a candle
The focus is so essential, dog
What you tryna get into? I steady the flow
Ready to blow like snotty tissue
They snitchin' like Donnie Brasco
I'm countin' like Monte Cristo
The ghetto full of betrayal
Like Iago and Othello
Your fellow neighbor will slay you
They'll smoke you like cigarillos
Police want that info
They'll grill 'em like Portobellos
I'm murderin' instrumentals
'Cause I rap with the conscience of villains
Killers and monsters so revealin' and honest


I'm still fulfillin' the promise
So nice, I kill 'em with kindness
Hittin' like Muhammad Ali
You more like Tatyana
All this is probably karma
You dishonored the father
Whether it's God Almighty
Or the almighty dollar
We follow the prophets like Islamics
Or the Dalai Lama
Your bullet points so hollow they
Could prolly pierce body armor (Ugh)
Look in the scope, my people still a target
(Ugh)

Smile on my face, tears of a sad clown
Feelin' out of place as I
Whistle the cab down
"If I tip extra, can I huff a cig?"
Blow my smoke out the window
Droppin' ashes on the bridge, ugh
I'm in New York now, like Akeem and Semmi was
Tryna get the lobby door
Open from a semi-buzz
I just wanna go to the slum
And throw my money on the
Floor like the Notorious BUM, ugh
Build a home, teach a class
Start a revolution
Free the mind, heal the body
Talkin' evolution
This that Black Elohim Anunnaki rap
That Farrakhan, Hakeem Olajuwon, Qaddafi rap
I dedicate this to my niggas in New Orleans
Rockin' black and gold stockin' caps
And fleur-de-lis Shockey hats
I'm in the courtroom screamin' "Who
Dat?!" on the devil
Servin' gumbo with a shovel, dog
I'm on another level
Me and Kweli come together like
Two pieces of metal
We magnetizin' the ghetto

Yeah! Now, here's the memo:
I'm a rebel without a cause
A bezel without no flaws
And shawty, you straight
Bet you look way better without no drawers
Let's sweat out this alcohol
(yeah) , bet I'm about to ball
And never let up
Look how I just crept up without applause
Fed up with all the frauds
And left y'all without a job
The center of attention, this is clever
I'm Pau Gasol really, though, I'm LeBron
Really, don't got my mind on
This new school of rappers
I will really go Columbine (Uh, huh)
And throw up the diamond sign (Uh, huh)
Boy, you know I'mma shine (Uh, huh)
Flow is in Ramadan (Uh, huh)
'Cause couple years ago
The game had they pajamas on (yeah)
But now they on my dick, man
I should throw a condom on
Ayy, 'cause a nigga comin' raw like
I ain't got one on
And I ain't stoppin' nor coppin' no pleas
I just lock-and-load, squeeze
Dog, I'm on a higher level
I'm on top of nosebleeds (Damn)
Niggas say they sick, but when they rock
They don't sneeze
Like the nigga on the block wavin' his Glock
But won't squeeze please hey

Look, hold your applause until
The ceremony end yours truly, truly blessed
Yet again a noble pla-anted
Supermagic, abracadabra kid
Mysterious master djinn, blacker pen
Arrowhead with the long barrel stem
And his apparel fresh
Harbor lights shinin' out the
Black power grid with the Black Power grip
And pure power don't power trip
Push the cellar ceiling up and
Make the tower tip
The Gladwell point and Babylon Palace
All about nothin'
Where it's all about the dollar
And mansions on the fault line
Of a shaky market
The Devil at the dance hall
Thirsty for a partner get off him
There is not a parcel or a portion
Or a measure of a fortune more awesome
Gorgeous
The funky Four Horsemen and one more
With Hi Tek on the score, once more
Of course you're welcome, thanks
Appreciation for your participation
Special dedication celebration, bitches!
