INTERVIEW WITH JAY ELECTRONICA
JAY ELECTRONICA'S LATEST SINGLE
EXHIBIT C LYRICS:-
When I was sleeping on the train Sleeping on Meserole Ave out in the rain Without even a single slice of pizza to my name Too proud to beg for change mastering the pain When NY niggas was calling southern rappers lame But then jackin our slang I used to get dizzy spells, hear a little ring The voice of a angel telling me my name Telling me that one day imma be a great man Transforming with the MegatronDon spittin out flames Eatin wack rappers alive shittin out chains I aint believe it then, nigga I was homeless Fightin, shootin dice, smoking weed on the corners Tryna find the meaning of life in a corona Till the 5%ers rolled up on a nigga and informed him. "You either build or destroy, where you come from?" "The Magnolia projects in the 3rd ward slum" "Hmm, its quite amazing that you rhyme how you do And how you shine like you grew up in a shrine in Peru." Question 14, Muslim lesson 2 Dip diver, civilize a 85er I make the devil hit his knees and say the our father Abracadabra! You rockin with the true and living Shout out to Light Out, Joseph I, Chewy Bivens, Shout out to Baltimore, Baton Rouge, my crew in Richmond While yall debated whos the truth like Jews and Christians I was in Cecil B, Broad St, Master, North Philly, South Philly, 23rd, Tasker 6 Mile, 7 Mile, Hartwell, Gratiot Where niggas really would pack a uhaul truck up Put the high beams on Drive up on the curb at a barbeque and hop out the back like "whats up" "Kill a nigga, rob a nigga, take a nigga, buss up" Thats why when you talk that tough talk I never feel ya You sound real good and you play the part well But the energy you givin off is so unfamiliar I dont feel ya.
We Need Somethin Realer!!!

They call me Jay Electronica Fuck that, call me Jay ElecHannukah Jay ElecYarmulke Jay ElecTramadaan Muhammad Asalaamica RasoulAllah Supana Watallah thought your monitor My uzi still weigh a ton, check the barometer Im hotter than the mothafuckin sun, check the thermometer Im bringing ancient mathematics back to modern man My momma told me "never throw a stone and hide your hand" I got a lot of family, you got a lot of fans Thats why the people got my back like the Verizon man I play the back and fade to black and then devise a plan Out in London, smoking, vibin while I ride the tram Giving out that raw food to lions disguised as lambs And, by the time they get their seats hot And deploy all the henchmen to come at me from the tree tops Im chilling out at tweetstock, building by the millions, my light is brilliant.
