Jay Electronica - Eternal Sunshine (The Pledge) lyrics

[Intro] The boy raps over movie scores. His last rap was over the movie score for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind She say she never fell in love with a Superman Christian, m**m, Protestant, Lutheran I told her that being a mortal is the portal To the true nature of growth; the Christlike Buddha man That's why I never spit the traditional garbage of a knife fight Bright lights, white ice to the fans The radio is just a stereo, like a house ain't a home And a chair is just a chair, ask Luther Van Go to work; go to church let your dreams die Bow tie, Final Call, and a bean pie Yarmulke for Hanukkah, wish list for Christmas This is the gist of the life that we lead, why? So you can fit in, with the closed-minded in the sit-ins And get clothes-lined in the ed-end I could care less about a plaque and Bid-enz And gettin' Punked on TV by my friends Don't get a n***a wrong I get tempted by the rewards that all come along with making n***a songs But what does it mean if I'm a m**m and you a Jew And because of that alone we don't get along And when you talk like this, and try to walk like this The radio stations'll never put a n***a on Just Mims, just 50, just Wayne, just Jeezy Dem Franchize Boyz, and Jimmy Jones f** that, f** rap this god-hop Kingdom music for the hard rocks I'mma spit it 'til TRL get it and Hot 97 hit a n***a with a bomb drop Ask Flex, ask Slay, ask Whoo Kid Just Blaze said Jay is the new kid I took Eternal Sunshine and I looped it No drums no hook just new sh** Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind ...Because He Broke the Rules Grandpa Joe: Wh-When does he get it? Willy Wonka: He doesn't Grandpa Joe: Why not? Willy Wonka: Because he broke the rules Grandpa Joe: What rules? We didn't see any rules, did we, Charlie? [Charlie shakes his head briefly] Willy Wonka: [springs up from his chair, angrily] Wrong, sir! Wrong! Under section 37B of the contract signed by him, it states quite clearly that all offers shall become null and void if - and you can read it for yourself in this photostatic copy: [grabs a magnifying gla** and reads] Willy Wonka: I, the undersigned, shall forfeit all rights, privileges, and licenses herein and herein contained, et cetera, et cetera... Fax mentis incendium gloria cultum, et cetera, et cetera... Memo bis punitor delicatum! [slams the contract copy and the magnifying gla** down, continues shouting] Willy Wonka: It's all there, black and white, clear as crystal! You stole fizzy lifting drinks! You bumped into the ceiling which now has to be washed and sterilized, so you get nothing! You lose! Good day, sir! The handling of a heart's a very delicate art cause it's paper thin One irrelevant thought that started out as a spark could be a poisonous dart That leaves a permanent mark, that's ice cold in the day and burns in the dark And makes you never wanna see her face again Tee-hee, what a place I'm in Lead me to the station A one-way ticket, don't look back One cold tear that froze and cracked A whole lot of pain I'm holdin' back Chav said, "Eff that, roll the sack" I said, "If my skull was cracked And blood ran out to the cul-de-sac That could not match me where I'm at" My memories flash me there and back Yup there goes me right there in black Holdin' hands, not starin' back She starts cryin' I start denying, it's my fault And I'm aware of that Man, in hindsight signs be glarin' back Where's the map to show you where you're at? I can hear the crowd yelling, I can smell the tire smoke I can hear the starter pistol where's the track? Ring no answer came home late Jane told Dick she had a date But they was just chillin' and at that moment The right brain says to the left just k** em Make the headlines, make the front page Wild out in the court house man thrill 'em They'll say, "The boy dead wrong," but I feel him Voodoo Man Voodoo man, chicken bone chicken bone I can make a thunderstorm from a light rain My ears start ringing, my nose get bloody I feel a little bit of pressure on my right brain Intermission transmission put me in submission Glistening trapped in the light prison whistling The Christ told me come closer to the light man I went blind, woke up in front of a mic stand Voodoo man, tap dancing in the French Quarter Walking on water with a scroll in my hand The blueprints for a disc shaped-like vessel That was chiseled out of metal off the coast of Japan Fasting on the top of a mountain out in Tepoztlán Saw a shiny object floating out of the ocean I'm sort of like a postman You can get the message if you want to understand From the rap Son of Man ...on November 7th saw this disc-shaped object floating above the sea concourse of the United Airlines at O'Hare. Very low in the sky, it was still daylight, very distinct. Didn't look like an airplane, a helicopter, or anything else Voodoo man, civilize the savage Criticize the parish Spreading false doctrine Terrorize the cleric for carrying on nonsense Specialized lies to paralyze the conscience Voodoo man, chit chatter Abracadabra Spitting out matter while I'm sh**ting out data Mmm, chew 'em up sh**ting out rappers Sipping Pellegrino while I'm giving out matches Set yourself on fire Let the wisdom of Elijah purify ya Take a n***a higher Sold your soul to the highest buyer Now you're on the wire talking about two-foot tires Saying you sell crack Clapping at cats with macs But you a liar pants on fire Same old rugged cross Different crucified messiah FYI Elijah Muhammad: Don't get me wrong now. Don't make a mistake in thinking that I'm telling you this was the beginning of the man on the Earth. Fifty thousand years ago is like telling you thirty days ago or ten days ago or five days ago, to the age of the universe. We have no exact record of it but it runs way into the trillions While you was blowin' X amount of dollars on a bracelet The sovereign nation of France was openin' they files on the UFO phenomenon: i.e. spaceships It's just the facts, Jack may as well face it Every rhyme I write the seal get cracked in the chapter of Revelations A atom get cracked in the blackness of meditation Mysterious sh** Call me Jay Dogon, I'm on some serious sh** Scholars wonder why don't he bust Allah blessed me with a Midas-y touch Everything I lay to hands turn to Ethiopian gold: shiny and buffed I got a firm understandin' on the minus and plus So I ain't got time to argue with a rapper 'bout how he ain't got rhymes That's f**in' with mine's I'm trying to k** Lucifer, so if I have to brake Cause a rapper in my face tellin' me that he the great You can bet a shiny nickel I'll blast his motherf**in' a** way past Jupiter You couldn't be stupider f**in' with the nuclear Mayan, Aztec lion Asiatic Blackman from Zion Quetzalcoatl supreme, lettin' off steam Dimethyltryptamine make a man dream But y'all would much rather hear me rappin' 'bout trash The size of Erykah's a**, blunts and cash We need savin' Minds are consumed with swine we need bathin' Willy Wonka: There it goes. Hold on tight. I'm not exactly sure what's going to happen. Faster, faster...if we don't pick up enough speed, we'll never get through Charlie: Get through what? Willy Wonka: Ah-ha! Grandpa Joe: You mean we're going... Willy Wonka: Up and out! Grandpa Joe: But this roof is made of gla**. It'll shatter Into a thousand pieces. We'll be cut to ribbons! Willy Wonka: Probably. Hold on, everybody. Here it comes! Alfred Borden: Are you watching closely?
