Jay Electronica - Jazzmatazz 2010 Guru Tribute Lyrics
[Intro - Martin Luther King Jr.:]
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 its 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 fearing any man!
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord!!
[Verse 1 - Jay Electronica:]
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 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
[Hook - Tone Treasure:]
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)
[Verse 2 - Jay Electronica:]
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
[Hook]

"Yo Gabba Gabba, Ahmadinejad will
Blow up your apartment if you don't observe the Sabbath
I look the devil in his eyes, say Abracadabra
Then drown him in the mighty light, his brain couldn't fathom
Scrappin every day, just like Fight Club
A Thriller and a Smooth Criminal, just like Mike was" SHEESH ! I need a Jay Electronica feat Cyhi the Prince collab asap
I've listened to this song countless times over the years and just caught him shoutin' out the legendary Lightnin' Hopkins. Makes this song even doper which I didn't realize was possible
10 YEARS LATER. STILL WAITING ON A FULL ALBUM.
Respect! the great 1
SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSHHHH!!!!!
That SHIT Was S M O O V E As F@ck! GURU Your Legacy Will Continue! RIP Beloved 7 & A Crescent!
A thriller and a smooth criminal like mike was
WTF 🔥🥵
He killed this GURU would be proud
Thank you Jay for always giving me hope through this song. It’s got to be more to life than this..
damn. even thw way he flows on this song is reminiscent of GURU
Son it's 2019/2020......and this shit is still amazing

This brought tears to my eyes. #Truskool
I LOVE THIS SONG
Amazing

Jay Elec is your favorite rappers favorite rapper....Peacs!
Jay Electronica------->Group Home
I JUST WANNA DO -G O D' S W I L L-
i still come back to this greatness
Dunno why at the beginning I thought Madlib was singing dropping those fire vocal bars
Yo Gabba Gabba?!!!!
Don’t know if you caught it but... “my style is like a shot of jack Daniels”, guru said his style was “smooth but rugged” in moment of truth. A shot of jack Daniels could be described as smooth and rugged. Insanity, super high level shit man.
🔥🔥🔥
Lol blow up your apartment if you don't observe the sabbath 😂😂😂😂 shalom
This is soul food, RIP guru. J.E. You the one bro but keep the pressure on these wack rappers neck
I rewind the intro at least 3x every time I play this track. Long Live Dr. King!!!
To another poet it's no conundrum why J Electrolux do not drop music regularly or even now and then. He has very high standards, like any great artist, also he writes with inspiration. It can not be predicted or forced. Also, he might experience periods of Writer's Block, like I do. The "work" of poetry is not like a normal profession. False prophets can easily churn out their garbage regularly, but the real deal takes time folks.
i wanna loop this forever
Boom bap boommm bap boom bap bap bap
Keeping NOLA not only the city but a Magnolia Project spitta alive forever with this one Uptown 3rd Ward.
Most underrated song in his catalogue by far
One of his best songs. J Elect always fighting the devil in his rhymes I love it.
I helped this get a million views I bump this every week
This song has been on repeat. Dr king into in the beginning makes this song great
Damn he got the guru flow mixed in with his lyrical skill. Those background singers sound silky af! 🔥.
Ain't this sampling mathematics by Mo's def
whoever don't like these bars stay out of hip hop
MASTERPIECE RIGHT HERE 🥂
boom bash dash
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 classic
This shit hard as hell! GODKing308
Imagine we get an album from this guy
The Alchemist he is always on the transmutation...Peace and respect to Guru may he rest in eternal peace in the celestial Temples......
The greatest rapper alive. PERIOD
I listen to this and just cry. So beautiful how he delivers his message everytime lifting God up and always denouncing satan
Wow I'm young white and privileged.. Nas is my #1 but this kid is my new Hero.. imagine that... Just Listen... Tought a o'l dog New tricks...
I Luv u Bo... I thought Was the King... U Got the Crown...
"The holy pyramid says we all Allahs children" DAM
This is beautiful .
One of the greatest
🕯🛎💖🛎🕯
R.i.p to Nipsey a real street legend
This is one of the best rap songs I ever heard in my entire life holy shit RIP Guru
This shit🔥
Well I will finish without posting while I am listening. I understand
Cot damn, Jay needs to get some more stuff out on vinyl. Also, I have always loved this beat...
Very sad we lose so many greats
I hope someone likes it I need some ghostwriting credits, smiling
Always do your rewrites
That's how I feel when I hear a hot track!
Soul stirrer,
Guess I'm stuck between the layers,
Les mcann over boom bap,
Beats 4 the players,
most prolific, so unique,
Peep the total picture,
Clearer I'm voice,
My tablet,
like a scripture
Cold stare, got em geeked,
glaring at the mic stand. Going hard in the paint,
All for them rap fans,
Rhyme immortal,
light shines through a prism,
My aura shinning Tru above all religion
Notes echo,
through a portal.
Wise Dome,
course steady,
seen the heavens, God made me audible.
Hook
Devil's run, when I come,
Malik firing off the top,
mothership connected,
channel off a beat drop.
(Here if u need me,
Kept it flawless always greasy
)except of an unreleased freestyle...

Nice song but Where is the GURU tribute?
"I had this reoccurring dream from the stage, in a suit with a fade, I had set the game ablaze, and they had threw me a parade."
Ive always loved this beat from Dj Premier! Group Home!
🙏🏾
It just hit me how little tributes seems to be released dedicated to Guru.... What the fuck
Classic , thankful for rappers like jay electric and immortal
just beautiful...
Man I remember listen to this late at nite when I was 17 working at my 1st job good times
"Voodoo for the pilgrims who bring weapons and conceal them/ They silence you with force, then indoctrinate the children/ yo-gabba gabba, ack-medina- jabbwha/ blow up your apartment, if you don't observe the sabbath."
Talk about it brotha!!
Official Issue
I'll tell you what's crazy with all the gifted rappers out there and all the days you sat back and listened to the legends one of them being the Guru I thought for sure there be at least 20 different tribute songs to the man. What I realized that doesn't matter his lyrics live on through his songs, peace gifted Unlimited... never will I forget you turn this white boy on to the gift...
Hands down the most underrated artist from New Orleans because he is speaking knowledge and not talking about drugs, twerking, and bouncing
this will be my Victory song when i overcome all my adversities

Don't Play With Me At All .... Respect Vanguard !!!
"You may be tired but I spit what I'm inspired. From the lord of the worlds cause the devil is liar" 🔥🔥🔥

Amazing. Artwork.
Voodoo for the pilgrims/who bring weapons and conceal them/silence you with force and indoctrinate the children.
