The Day

Feat. Curren$y, Mos Def

[Intro]

Whack niggas sleep rappin' and woke up in trouble

Whack niggas with that sleep rap and then woke up in trouble

You were cool ten years ago, you fucking lex bubble

[Verse 1: Curren$y]

Brand new tires, Rollin down the same old strip

New party same old chicks

I'm so sorry

If I don't look happy to be here

In your label office but they said I can't smoke weed here

Man fuck it I'm out black on

And I'm bout it fool

I got a studio in my house

Along with some the perks

That come with my work

Pretty twenty something sleeping in my Diamond Supply shirt

There is not a adjective to describe how I work

Hard is not enough brother I'm tougher

Whack niggas with that sleep rappin' and woke up in trouble

You was cool ten years ago you fucking lex bubbles, bubble

You gotta know when to hold em', know when to fold em'

Learn how to roll with the punches

Take em' to school give these niggas brown bag lunches

If it ain't the jets then it ain't nothing

[Chorus: Yasiin Bey a/k/a Mos Def]

Yo the king closed his cloak the set was overfull

Such a excellent moment, so emotional

He rushed out on the field, so devoted for

Final victory clutch they went postal cold

Glory overload, hold up hold my coat

Please remember this day

This changes everything we can do anything

Until you show anyway

[Verse 2: Jay Electronica]

My momma told me, "Son, always call a spade a spade"

Be like Chuck D never be like Flavor Flav

But that clock around his neck is so fly

And the way he complimenting Chuckie with that bow tie flow

Make me feel high so I'm gon' spit it my way

Excuse me as I do me cruisin' rudely down the high way

I'm young, black, intelligent, elegant, blasé

Back to the thesis

Back to to shooting kraps and talking smack to the polices

Back to black and gold ballys

Dickes with the creases

Pulling youngins by the coattails

Schoolin' em' who the beast is

I pray this flow is dumb enough ugh

I pray my heart is DMC and Reverend Run enough

Cause I'm a throw my number up

I'm a throw some chicken bones and feathers on a hundred bucks

And summon up the thunder what?

The voodoo man is coming bruh

Can't see the forest for the trees

It's okay, I got my jigsaw and my lumber truck

Tell them boys their run is up

[Chorus]
