Jay Electronica — Closer Encounters

[Verse 1: Jay Electronica] Flashing lights on a shiny object I felt three feet tall, like a hobbit It moved at a speed that my eyes couldn't di-tect My stomach felt queasy and I couldn't dodge it No, this ain't logic Belief in the unseen is hard Because the seen leaves scars It dance like the stars My ears went ring-ring Incoming message from Supreme Being Then light provoked my body I'm drifting off, I'll have a heart attack probably I'm lifting off, beam me up into the cockpit Swift and soft, I can't see the pilot Man, it must be heaven, it feels like heaven A real bright presence carried me home Swing low, sweet chariot I'm married to the throne I'm carrying my cross with a crown full of thorns Hosanna Hosanna, 20 miles from Atlanta Please rain down ? [Verse 2: Jay Electronica] They promised not to harm me A beautiful woman with hair wrapped around her body Tucked in her garment Led me to a room with a view for observation A dark-skinned man told me all about creation He shed a few tears, said he feared for the nation I stood in a trance with a feeling of elation Crying his eyes, this is what he said "America, America, how great thou art Oh, why did you have to go and break my heart?" I couldn't understand, I said "I don't comprehend" Then we flew to an island off the coast of Japan He took me by the hand, and showed me things I got dizzy as the info overloaded my brain He said, "in 1909, construction began With the wheel shaped airplane that's built like a planet A few years before the federal reserve went off the gold standard The wheel went up Then the stock market crashed and the seal went up This is 1929, the deal was up"
