Jay Electronica - Extended Control verse (performed in Miami) lyrics

{Verse 1: Jay Electronica] Entirely off the record The messiahs of society quietly walk with lepers But when they plugged into the matrix The babies have dreams of making love on a spaceship You can hear atheist cries in the sub when the ba** hit My grandmother died last year and although i cried a lot I thought about my sins and the demons of my past and the skeletons i hide And all the things I lied about And every line of coke and pub i sat and emptied bottles out Tell me what's it all for Coming down the next morning grovelling on all fours It takes place in transit/ The story of Oz we know, takes place in Kansas But when the picture's in black and white, we take things for granted Signs on the highway, a stranger on the train That tiny voice inside your stomach begging you to change We on a non-stop voyage through space and time I fall on my knees and pray to heaven that i stay sublime Pigs look me up and down with a frown Is it because I'm brown or is it because I'm from uptown My life story is etched in the bricks of the projects I'm everywhere but never expected like disc-shaped objects Haters will never get it, those thats in the know say I'm the greatest to ever spit it But that's arguable, they all keep arguing The deeper I go with the flow they all keep gargling All the way to Parliament You could check my name on the books I Earth Wind & Fire'd the verse, then rained on the hook The legend of Dorothy Flowers proclaimed from the roof The tale of a magnificent king who came from the nooks Of the wild magnolia, mother of many soldiers We live by every single word she ever told us Watch over your shoulders And keep a tin of beans for when the weather turns the coldest The Lord is our shepherd, so our cup runneth over Put your trust in the Lord but tether your Chevy Nova I'm spitting this sh** for closure And God is my witness, so you could get it from Hova To all you magicians that's fidgeting with the cobra I'm solid as a rock, ‘cause I came from a rock That's why I came with the rock, then signed my name on the Roc Draw a line around some Earth, then put my name on the plot Cause I endured a lot of pain for everything that I got The eyelashes like umbrellas when it rains from the heart And the tissue is like an angel kissing you in the dark You go from blind sight to hindsight, pa**ion of the Christ Right, to basking in the limelight, it take time to get your mind right Jay Electricity, PBS Mysteries In a lofty place, tangling with Satan over history You can't say sh** to me, الحمد لله‎ It's strictly by faith that we made it this far
