As dope as a lyricist as Jay is I always enjoy his production the feel and the applause with the kids screaming yyyaayyyyy is always been 1 of my favorite signatures on records.
I have this video saved and downloaded for over a year and have never seen your comment. I come to this song and better in tune with the infinite often for peace. Hope you’re doing better these days sir.
seriously its almost not even deserved today.. I wish this what more people were listening to because just imagine the change it could make or the inspiration it may give to those who need it most!
Jay. This track touched me. I don't care if we don't share the same faith, you are my family by bloodline. We all must return to having love and accountability towards the ALMIGHTY and one another again. 2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV - If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Proverbs 30:4 KJV - Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell? Psalm 68:4 KJV - Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.
Sometimes I don't know what to say It's a genuine miracle I woke up today, so I got up to pray But my BBM was pinging when my Android started singing then I missed all of the glory for technological luxuries And just like that I forgot all of the trees And the flowers and the breeze carryin' seeds across the seas Extra honey in my tea but pay no to homage to the bee Whatever happened to us and will we ever let the magic come and tap into us?

Believe in magic and magical things will begin to happen that's the way the mind works. Believe in consistency and fall into slumber. Most of us are asleep we are still asleep because we're not dreaming.
i never had listen to jay, he spoke with something depp in my mind. it kind of freak. seems like he are live sing to me his songs. cant explain right. just feel great.
Holy shit how has no one ever recommended this Gem to me? Better late than never I suppose . I think I need to listen to more Jay Elec to push my pen game but also topics

Ronald Reagan👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 "Extra honey in my tea, but we don't give homage to the Bee😌" *Life is not tragic. it's magic* Don't be deceived by the devil God's hands built and owns it all.. Don't ever fret when the enemy gets away with things it's all being allowed for a purpose like our purpose for being here we don't know or understand, but we'll be shown if we hold on to his unchanging hand..Being still while doing the right thing will get you the answers that you need not want because we forget that we're still safe and here when the enemy does things behind the scene..God is our shield for so many things and those who continue to do wrong to their Brothers and Sisters always see and feel the power of God but are to embarrassed to turn to him because of all they have done not knowing the he wants them to...Happy Saturday❤ Goodmorning and God Bless 🇺🇸 Keep God first🙋🏾♀️
The song definitely get me in my feelings no lie. “Ion regret the haters..sometimes that’s what you need to see yourself, breakthrough & free yourself, accept your own & be yourself” makes me think of my group of childhood friends who tried to snake & destroy me but ended up forcing me to find myself & lead me to a more fulfilling life in the long run ❤️🩹
Intro: Ronald Reagan]
Winston Churchill said that "The destiny of man is not measured by material computations
When great forces are on the move in the world
We learn we are spirits, not animals"
And he said "There's something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space
Which, whether we like it or not, spells duty"
You and I have a rendezvous with destiny
We will preserve for our children this
The last best hope of man on earth
Or we will sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness
[Verse 1: Jay Electronica]
Sometimes I don't know what to say
This a genuine miracle I woke up today, so I got up to pray
But, my BBM was pinging when
My Android started singing then
I missed all of the glory for technological luxuries
And just like that, I forgot all of the trees
And the flowers and the breeze carryin' seeds across the seas
Extra honey in my tea but pay no homage to the bee
Whatever happened to us?
And will we ever let the magic come and tap into us?
We preach apocalypse written by John the Revelator
But won't even speak to a stranger ridin' on a elevator
Or step to the side when we standin' still on a escalator
The planet earth is a hospital, we on the respirator
I don't regret the haters
Chorus: Jay Electronica]
Sometimes that's what you need to see yourself
Break through and free yourself, accept your own and be yourself
It's magic
The story of life is too tragic
It's magic
[Verse 2: Jay Electronica]
This is The Turn, they ain't ready for Prestige yet
The flow is too collegiate, the show is too prestigious
Pretty like a flower, refreshin' like a shower
Depression makes me sour, but it's still a feelin'
My human heart and all my senses say, "It's still appealin'"
I could be dead and gone, a brass band
The second line, I could be headin' home
And passersby may shed a tear after she read the stone
This is luxury
The story of life is not tragic
It's magic
[Chorus: Jay Electronica]
Sometimes that's what you need to see yourself
Break through and free yourself, accept your own and be yourself
It's magic
The story of life is not tragic
It's a luxury

All true n living facts , the intro and whole song all the way to end the song , Lessons n Blessings , PEACE TO ALl Cross the planet Earth
Yesssss
Chorus lyrics are outstanding.
Incredible...
Reminds me of chillin out with my 2 kids playing halo gaurdians together on our xbox's... that yaaay sound was in that game a few times...
This isnt for everyone. But a masterpiece for the ones it is for.
As dope as a lyricist as Jay is I always enjoy his production the feel and the applause with the kids screaming yyyaayyyyy is always been 1 of my favorite signatures on records.
I always hated the fact he accepted beats from jus blaze
its refreshing hearing happy black children yelling for positivity
It always works so well for him, it’s actually amazing how he does it
I always feel the fans are those kids lol. Like we’re all at a campfire listening to jay dogon
❤️ ❤️ ❤️ LOVE IT TOO... Yaaaaaaayyyyy!!!!
Song helped me through homelessness. Give thanks to Jay. Been a fan since 2010
this man is one of the greatest to ever rap
Extra honey in my tea but pay no homage to the bee...
My favorite line
It's so much knowledge in just that 1 line
Context? 🤔
What a way to tell us how unappreciative we can be.
@@defalt69lol huh?
Jay elec is a walking Library. 🔥
So r u
Jay Electronica, thank you. You're helping me get through some hard times.
keep your head up homie. whatever you're going thru.. with the right mindset anything can be accomplished!
Prayin for you brotha
I have this video saved and downloaded for over a year and have never seen your comment. I come to this song and better in tune with the infinite often for peace. Hope you’re doing better these days sir.
Restoring your life is not tragic, it's a luxury! Damn I've been getting it all wrong, micfan 2021
“Depression makes me sour…… but it’s still a feeling 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️…………….” 🔥🔥
That's one heck of a lyric......
this song is so simple yet has so much impact, Jay is cut from a different cloth man no artist on his level.
seriously its almost not even deserved today.. I wish this what more people were listening to because just imagine the change it could make or the inspiration it may give to those who need it most!
You still think there are levels😌
@@greenclean3917 that last comment man! Couldn’t say it any better. Much love!
@@greenclean3917 I understand and would agree but what happens when the body is no longer present?
Hes a child of rakim
Jay the Jay of jays
It's a genuine miracle I woke up today
God's music. God's love is a Luxury, and I am grateful.
Damn that hit me ….
One of the deepest song ever.
Pure life.
First class poetry. It's magic.
Truly a masterpiece. Such relevance will resonate throughout history. Timeless to say the least.
Jay is a Poetic device, alot of people just not intune or even have an ear to understand his words, and its life meaning.
It's crazy. I'm always puzzled by why I'm the only one buggin out over his lyrics. Dude is cold! If he cared he'd be the G.O.A.T. with no equal.
His music is not meant for everyone......."only the chosen"
I like the way he navigated the path.
Not a super whole lot of music tho just enough.
This song > A Written Testimony
Jay. This track touched me. I don't care if we don't share the same faith, you are my family by bloodline. We all must return to having love and accountability towards the ALMIGHTY and one another again.
2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV - If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Proverbs 30:4 KJV - Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?
Psalm 68:4 KJV - Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.
Amen! This dude has been touched by God.
Anyone’s name written in the Lambs Book of Life will see Almighty God in Paradise
I don’t care,Jay Elec is one of the best to ever do it. So much soul in all his works.
Sometimes I don't know what to say
It's a genuine miracle I woke up today, so I got up to pray
But my BBM was pinging when my Android started singing then
I missed all of the glory for technological luxuries
And just like that I forgot all of the trees
And the flowers and the breeze carryin' seeds across the seas
Extra honey in my tea but pay no to homage to the bee
Whatever happened to us and will we ever let the magic come and tap into us?
We preach apocalypse written by John the Revelator
But won't even speak to a stranger ridin' on the elevator
Or step to the side when we standin' still on the escalator
The planet earth is a hospital, we on the respirator
I don't regret the haters
Comme je suis encore tout jeune je n'avais pas entendu parler de jay électronique mais grâce à Jésus Lord ❤ j'ai découvert l'artiste 😢❤❤😢
The only rapper that can rap over a beat with no drums and make it a timeless classic
Modern day poet.
The planet earth is a hospital we on the respirator 🔥🔥🔥
This is one of the greatest somgs ever
My favorite song next to Ezekiel's Wheel!
Bless Jay Electronica
Asé
One of the best lyrics ever written 🔥
I love when Jay put presidential intro on his shit.
This is a masterpiece
This beat would fit Roc Marci like a glove 🥊
Bro I swear
Yeah I agree! Westside Gunn too
@@louisiana_hotsauce3746 More Willie The Kid’s type too
Boldy James
@@shoqwavebeats8745 BALDY James?! ROFL

Damn just when I thought he was done🔥🔥🔥
First time I've heard this song in my life. It's hitting different because the lyrics are in synch with my current way of thinking. It's beautiful fr.
❤ right
Deserves way more recognition
Man when he comes with more heat it’s so refreshing
Believe in magic and magical things will begin to happen that's the way the mind works. Believe in consistency and fall into slumber. Most of us are asleep we are still asleep because we're not dreaming.
It's a luxury.

You and I have a rondaevue with destiny
Does anyone know of the instrumental is a sample or not
Same piano sample of Gangstarrs “What I’m here for.”
Any one know the sample? i want to make my own Beat with it. It's Amazing
its a gangstarr cut i think
@@AkramDeX yup. What I’m here for…
Gangstar what Im here for
What’s the piano?
Who is that singing at the end? She is incredible.
Latoya Givens aka Tone Trezure. She has a few songs with Jay Elect and other artists. Her voice is beautiful fr.
@@imagineth thanks for letting me know. Hey voice is heavenly.
Is this a new track?
Yes and no. Yes, because it's just came out at the end of 2020. No, because it was recorded in 2010 or 2011.
Dude is too talented for the half ass amount of material he’s dropped. And that album was a Jay album ft. JE
Nah it was just Watch The Throne 2 which honestly is what they shoulda called it anyway
Listen to Act II then (which this song is from). Classic album
🌞🌟🪄
What hip hop song is this speed up? Focus on the piano keys
Pretty sure it's What I'm Here 4 - Gang Starr and it sounds like its slowed down a bit actually
@@tylers3411 wow wow you’re so right !!!!!!!!!
Jay Elec > Kendrick...just my preference. K Dot is amazing but...
This is not "rap"
this is art
This by far is the laziest rapper
The song definitely get me in my feelings no lie. “Ion regret the haters..sometimes that’s what you need to see yourself, breakthrough & free yourself, accept your own & be yourself” makes me think of my group of childhood friends who tried to snake & destroy me but ended up forcing me to find myself & lead me to a more fulfilling life in the long run ❤️🩹
