Glass Everywhere Lyrics

[Intro]
A great friend of mine, Michael Chavarria, introduced me to J Dilla ... the very last words he ever said to me was ... "You are ready."
(Ronald Reagan speech sample) "You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We'll preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we'll sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness."

[Verse]
I overheard niggas sayin' Jay was on the verge
He could make Rumsfeld resign with rhymes he never heard
Commune with the birds
And could manipulate matter with the usage of words

While you was blowin' X amount of dollars on a bracelet
The sovereign nation of France was opening their files on the UFO phenomenon
I.E., spaceships
It's just the facts, Jack, may as well face it

Every rhyme I write a seal get cracked from the chapter of Revelations
A atom get cracked in the blackness of meditation
Mysterious shit
Call me Jay Dogon, I'm on some serious shit
Scholars wonder "Why do he bust?"
Allah blessed me with the Midas-y touch
Everything I lay hands turn to Ethiopian gold, shiny and buffed

I got a firm understanding 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 fuckin' with mine
I'm trying to kill Lucifer
So if I have to break cause a rapper in my face tellin' me that he's the great
You can bet a shiny nickel I'll blast his muthafuckin' ass way past Jupiter

Couldn't be stupider
Fuckin' with the nuclear

Mayan, Aztec lion, Asiatic black man 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 ass
Blunts and cash
We need saving
Minds are consumed with swine
We need bathing

Go home, fast for three days, and reflect ...
[Outro]
(Ronald Reagan speech sample) "You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We'll preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we'll sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness."

This song has most of the same lyrics as Jay Elect’s song FYI from The Pledge. However, this is over a Dilla produced beat and contains a few more lyrics at the beginning and end of the verse as well as the Intro and Outro.

Beat is produced by J Dilla and was first used by De La Soul. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zr_XUycne3g&feature=kp
