[Winston Churchill]
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.
[Verse 1: Jay Electronica]
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 wit' 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 your shine
As time go by, we live by an eye for eye
I'll die for you, your drama is mine
Put your diamonds in the sky
Wave 'em side to side, get robbed 'fore your shine
As time go by, we live by an eye for eye
I'll die for you, your beef is mine
[Verse 2: Jay Electronica]
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 wit' 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 eye
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 eye
I'll die for you, your beef is mine
[Prodigy]
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 f-ckin' 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 eye
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 eye
I'll die for you, your beef is mine
