Lyrics Jay Electronica

Jay Electronica

Call Of Duty

Centuries ago words were written to be a call and a spur to the faithful servants of Truth and Justice: Arm yourselves, and be ye men of valor, and be in readiness for the conflict; for it is better for us to perish in battle than to look upon the outrage of our nation and our altar. As the Will of God is in Heaven, even so let it be.

You know the story, when real see real, we recognize

When you see the steel flash, you petrified

Steve Jobs seen death after just retiring

Takes vision to build, God bless the dead

That's Mac, that's Pac, that's Pun, that's Big

Shit, niggas know the sunshine eternal

I burn slow like "Disco Inferno"

Burn slow like blunts with' yayo

Uh, I went from MySpace to the top of the food chain

The sperm hit the egg like a missle

Then nine months later, the celebratory news came

"Exhibit C" gave the whole world a mood change

Electronic, niggas call my album Detox

'Cause they know I'm finna bring the next Chronic

Roc Nation, Cole World, it's a wrap, nigga

Put yo' diamonds in the sky, take that, nigga

Mobb Deep

Yeah

Put your diamonds in the sky

Wave 'em side to side, get jokes when you shine

As time go by, we live by an eye for eye

...an' I'll die for you, your drama is mine

Put your diamonds in the sky

Wave 'em side to side, get robbed 'fore you shine

As time go by, we live by an eye for eye

I'll die for you, your beef is mine

Uh-huh

To whom it may concern

If it's hate, wait your turn, dig a crate, make a urn

Please, God, tell Flex drop a bomb on me

Tell the minister to tattoo the Qu'ran on me

Before the men in black try to pin a crime on me

And Rupert Murdoch and his goons get to lyin' on me

The Lord is my shepherd

So tell the royal family to order my records

And spread 'em 'cross Europe in a organized method

We could heal the planet with' a organized effort

The Jews and the Christians and the Muslims and the Buddhists

And the Sikhs and Scientologist is all of my brethren

Play this on the radio

You never heard another nigga say this on the radio

We made it out the ghetti-o

Brunch with the Rothchilds, dinner with the Carters

Jay Elect stop the press, criticalest artist

(What the fu...)

Yeah

Put your diamonds in the sky

Wave 'em side to side, get jokes when you shine

As time go by, we live by an eye for...

...an' I'll die for you, your drama is mine

Put your diamonds in the sky (Sky)

Wave 'em side to side, get robbed 'fore you shine (Shine)

As time go by, we live by an eye for...

...an' I'll die for you, your beef is mine

I done sat around for years daydreamin' of this

Me and Jay biz, green gettin' twist

Kids goin' to school, we still on the bench

Early mornin' yawning, no sleep, just this

Hardcore, rhymin' like a diamond when I spit

Come hell or high water, we gon' make it out the bricks

I done graduated gladiator school, what's next?

From the bottom, only one way to go to the tip

Of the top, with these nonstop flows I invent

Bars so hard, shit hurt when it hit

My bars like prison bars, I'm trapped in the pens

Of this wildstyle hip-hop, the fuckin' strongest

Rappers on the earth, it's a curse and a gift

Black cloud follow my life, how worse could it get?

Respect, power, and money, in that exact order

I got it all, nigga, I'll break ya li'l neck

Yeah

Put your diamonds in the sky

Wave 'em side to side, get jokes when you shine

As time go by, we live by an eye for...

...an' I'll die for you, your drama is mine

Put your diamonds in the sky

Wave 'em side to side, get robbed 'fore you shine

As time go by, we live by an eye for...

...an' I'll die for you, your beef is mine
