Black Shiny Suit Theory

It's kinda funny to me, because my dudes know that I write for me and that almost every line is a metaphor of some kind. But I think that a lot of things I put down goes over peoples head. I actually wrote this song with one or two metaphors with every bar(intentionally). So if you read this and you don't get a metaphor with every other line, you read it wrong haha. Good luck.

written to "Shiny Suit Theory" by Jay Electronica

while they were out partying, the killers were up at work/

And if we take it over remember we tried to warn you first.

Matter of fact mark the date when work becomes heaven and school becomes the devil/

so you can see why I hate one and try to ascend to the highest level.\

I bet you wondering where my shiny suit is/

this web 2.0 atmosphere has me wearing new digs.

So this is my new school shiny suit, comprised of t-shirt and jeans/

the old school story of a kid from little means.

Drive like a ferrari on the road to success/

Thinking liking a rapper with something to get off his chest.

But he went a different a route and started a few businesses, no problem/

if there was one they come to him and pay him to solve them.

It's been a long journey and this baggage making me feel like the Pilgrim/

but this process has progressed me from the bridge into the building.

While I meet with congressmen affliates and multi-million dollar preneurs/

I think when I go home it's right back to the sewer.

They never knew it...

And they never will...it's only an obstacle of the present/

I think i'm blowing through it channeling the pigs essence.

Not the ones in blue but the ones where the wolf blew....

A problem? I think not/

Maybe for you that just watch...

A tv show but never read non-fiction/

or something without fantastical diction.

And sense time is money, why spend it making someone else rich/

I'd rather read something thought provoking that'll have me scratching like my skull itch.

Get it? good, I'm tired of spelling out lyrics/

dumbing it down for the public so that they can enjoy the physics...

Of how i piece it all together more complex than string theory/

even dudes I know well try to listen but they don't hear me.

Yet they still try/

honestly the i can see I lost when I look into their eyes.

But it's fun to watch them try to visualize how I see...the way I see.../

It's like trying to watch scientists figure out why aliens don't bleed the way they bleed.

They bleed blue until hits oxygen after which it turns red/

I think and bleed in dollar signs, I wish you could peer inside my head.

All you would see is a printing press, a couple of world markets/

Currency exchanges, and some hustlers selling carpets.

The N.Y.S.E and commodities all around it/

we still talking about my brain right, the metaphor's astounding.

Now you know what goes on in my head, partially why I avoid going to bed/

There's an entire economy up there, and I'm guessing I'm the fed.

The only difference is that GM's dead, capitalism killed it/

And it's a dictatorship, democracy's to inefficient.

Take it for the team

Written to "Take one for the team" by Kanye West

I'm gonna take the steps to beef these bars up/
Like steel, steroids toughen my shit up
You like damn that, I heard it shrinks your ball sack/
But I think we good I swing wood like a bat
Boy, give me something to destroy/
Armageddon, I'm out of this world, the asteroid
That's threatening the humanoids existence/
They can't stop me, and died hard like Willis
I hope you got it. See that there was a metaphor/
It started with the third bar and ended with the fourth
I don't know if I made it clear, like defrosting your windshield/
I've been writing cold shit, which when included with when chill
Makes the Pluto seem so inhabitable with life/
I'm not that far gone, just out your sight
But still in the limelight, only at night/
And niggas still can't see me? Ever heard of German spotlight?
Electric currently with currency can get you shocked twice/
Just like jumping for the ball can get you rocked twice
Looking weird at my gear, like at what price/
just covered my body, no need to cop nice
I swear imma be in it to the end, like this booth/
Which I think I just defaced with my pen, is this true
Don't snitch, you can tell the truth without the culprit/
I feel like the world is my playground, Macaulay Culkin
I feel at home when I'm home alone/
I feel I'm on a throne when I get in the zone
Extraterrestrial, nigga answer your phone/
And tell your girl friend that you heard this song
Where this stupid fool lost his mind and couldn't find it/
And it took you hours to get through, you kept rewinding
Look at they swag, on loan and borrowed/
Headless horsemen from sleepy hollow.
I get head....like skulls on pikes/
In ancient Rome, I know it's wrong, but I'm right.
You hear dat, I'm hearing pens drop left to right/
And I aint seen no one in sight
I think I'm finally catching up to the pack, I started late/
And yes this could be seen as the gauntlet to those in first place
Half the shit I freestyle is borderline random/
I think if you give me bit I'll stop famine
In Africa, talledegga, rick bobby/
And unlike drake I like pussy, so I'll see you in the lobby
This a hobby, but I'm better than the half wits/
You have trouble writing lines, I'm playing this is text twist
Most mad cause I spit a little basic/
I guess I didn't want to go underground because of the moldy basement
These niggas so green with envy, you get it/
They think I'm horrible, but I'm afraid my rhymes they don't get it
It goes over their head like an errant pass/
And the dudes holding the line failed, I'm eating grass
QB nigga...el capitan/
They on me like they rubbing a crystal ball again
Get off my nuts sluts/
Or I'm going to conveniently forget to warn you when I bust
I mean blow up, it's inevitable all I have to do is show up/
Wait a couple years now see the wheels of my chauffeur, yes sir.
No sir, just ask what I grind like/
Loyalty...Fuck it, I'm getting signed twice
I'm gone man...it's time to set sail/
And I shake my head when they say sex sells
Cuz now I'm sailing in the water from your girl getting wet/
And she call me I aint the father
But if I was, that's a lucky bastard/
I'd say I'm of troy, but not the pastor
Okay I served that up for you on a silver plate/
For goodness sakes, I guess I gotta wait
patience aint a virtue of mine, imma delegate/
The responsibility to another slave
I'm a workaholic....always working/
Catch me on the strip tonight, just swerving
And back to your old lady, now I'm surfing/
She a freak, are you sure she was really a virgin
Cuz I swear I had her hurting...when it was time to wrap up, she put her hair in a turban.

No Surrender

Written to "Surrender" By Zone Beats

The worst advice I've ever received was to put my life on sleeve/
Err my heart...but spilling it out may make your brain freeze

It's cold to the touch, don't let it catch your teeth/
And if it does, call the dentist the contents are pretty sweet

Somebody tell me what's with the feelings in this filling/
And why these hidden broads are all of a sudden revealing

Themselves, I think I'm the dumb blond here/
If you are a blond, I would apologize if I cared

This is my attitude, until I can change my latitude whenever I want to/
It's an aspiration from which I draw my inspiration

I've think I've had it with these mad hatters/
I say I'm getting, they saying I doubt it

At this point I don't know who turn to/
Girl said turn to me, but honestly I don't trust you

Niggas said you got us, but now I'm starting to burn through

Their entire ranks, even killed the flanks/
So now I'm stuck wishing I had someone to blame

But whatever, fuck it, I'm going to drown it all in a bucket/
Find a broad who wants to suck me, let her swallow and think I'm lucky

I'm on an mission impossible/
Looking for a green little person, hiding my pot of gold,

And I think they starting to learn I'll do anything to pave my road to success with yellow bricks/
It don't matter what I'm fighting with, whether my mind or my fists

I'm leaving it all, and coming back to you/
Pride won't let me apologize from when I turned my back to you

I've got nothing left, look at my bank accounts/
I don't have a car, not even a fucking house

To lay my head at/
I cleaned my plate, can you tell me where the bread at

Or the cake, or the dead pres, or the spinach/
Maybe if I find my violet, I'll be a winner

But I doubt it, at the same time emotions sprouted/
I miss my new girl whenever we apart lets not talk about it

Stream of conscience, honesty/
Honestly I would never write if it never happened to me

So all these bitches that sing about heart and have never felt/
Or all these fake thugs claiming dimes but never dealt it

I'm go ahead and be a brave-heart or some kind of Celtic/
William Wallace shit I know death but I've never felt it.

Until the moment when a casket with my on it/
Is being paid for, in that moment I own it

Now I'm isolated, slaving traded/
Telling freedom I've almost made it

Heart beating out of cadence

Don't Look Down

Written to "Don't look down" by Kanye west

I could touch a star, that's how high I feel/
I'm enough to say screw luck as I reinvent the wheel

I guess I'm Will personified...and she's my Jada/
I promise on this grinding shit, I'll out slave you

Becuz this work is my life nigga you don't know that by now/
I'm always thinking about how to set my kids up for life like it's my final hour

Faces looking sour, niggas faces scrunched up/
They tried to steal my essence by forgot to tag up

It wasn't enough, to fein it/
You have to feign it

You have to imagine those bright ligths and you becoming famous

Life's a bitch aint it? Ha...you seem to be right/
And I'm left, because these girls appear not to see right

so in the moonlight, I moonlight as pimp/
40 on my hip, supersonic shawn kemp

Bring me back to reality I'm lost in my fantasy/
And these girls sure enough aint helping.
Yup, and everyone treats me like alien, except in my face then they try to say I'm more like elvin.

I guess that makes me immortal, I guess I should inherit the earth/
But that aint the case, as I fail to asses my net worth

Which remains in the negatives, never above zero/
Unlike my temperature burning people alive...Nero.

Still Shootin'

Man what? My life is like a swan dive into a swimming pool. It's kinda like a movie but you couldn't see me, even in film school.

Have an issue with me, what you gonna do/
No matter..imma play it cool

First you see me now you can't locate/
I'm standing on the highest point in first place

While roses are being thrown at my feet/
Look at me, spitting as if heaven gently weeps with me

Waterworks just going berserk/
Trying my best to pick myself up, they know I'm hurt

Yet they try to exploit me/
Unbreakable but they try to destroy me

Good luck young bucks/
Crossed my unit, I guess you just fucked

Wise up, there's no competition in this race for fame/
Cuz I treat like I'm obama and I'm running for change

I'm off the chain like I just let my flow off the chains/
I represent nothing, an amalgamation of different things

Don't worry about where I got from, fret where imma take it

And by the time I get to throne, I'm hoping that it's vacant/
If not imma take it

Game of death, aint no fakin/
Floors of enemies different type of hating

I'm at the top looking down and still ascending/
Getting better day by day, with every line that's writing

Soon people will say oh boy, is he nasty of course/
Did you not hear the shit, he treated the beat like meat of his main course

Original...turn-tabling late I'm a night owl/
My shot wet, and there's the foul

Easy as taking a free throw, there's no denial

My style...is leaning on the side of a melting pot of others/
New kind of fly, this one comes without feathers

It's more like an aero, gulf stream, G6 if your nasty rich...

I like being a mile high, so does your nasty bitch

Just ask me what I'm talking bout/
I'll show you a diagram of how wide she can open her mouth

Damn son, stronger than Samson/
Handcuffed her looking for the ransom, then some

Government still shooting/ oil companies still polluting

And aint nobody asking what they doing?

It's ashamed how the blame game, only has that name and no other consequence

Blond girls aren't the only one oblivious to the obviousness

Open your eyes, girls open your mouth wide/
And watch as I turn your tongue into a slip n side

Consciously I'll admit I'm a jerk/
But when I drift to sleep my subconscious is even worse.

Sunday mornings

Man...what? It's Sunday/
and it's really hot but I'm shining like some sun rays

And I'm cold hearted, but who didn't know that/
Let me give you a history lesson, something like a throw back

Show patience, keep waiting, it's right down the line/
I got caught up in some stuff, that when combined with unattractive females all on me...makes me in a bind

Oh yeah I'm going to hell for that but fortunately it's Sunday/
Hopefully that didn't slip your mind.

If it did put me on repeat, and I'll remind you/
That any curse words on a verse might slight you

So imma keep clean, and still keep it mean/
Eyes glazed with the hot sign on..haha...im krispy kreme

Who didn't see that coming? Raise your hands/
Now keep em raised so I can tell you to do the noodle dance

Obviously I'm obnoxiously being a nice guy by sharing this knowledge B/
Professors hate me cause i ll correct em when they haughtily, proclaim I'm the student and I should shut up and take me seat

But I didn't, I'll let the inheritance of the world go too the meek/
Life's a woman...that's just figuratively

It's ok I'll just persuade her to allow me to succeed/
And she will swallow my love, kinda like this beat

Whoever said life was a bitch, Never sexed one/
and whoever said there are no angels,hasn't met one.

I've met two/
One fell, and one flew.

One healed my wounds, one gave me the flu/
You can guess why heaven wasn't difficult to choose.

A real catch .22/
It depends on who you speak to, whether or not you'll get the truth

Man I'll tell you no lies, remember that/
And when you see a forest fire, just ask where the embers at
