“Universal Soldier” Lyrics
[Intro:]
This is the gallant crew
That rolled the big super fort
Which carried the first atomic bomb to Japan
Piloted by Col. Paul Tibbets Jr. of Miami
Carrying Navy Captain William Parsons of Chicago
Who helped design the bomb, as observer
And Major Thomas Ferebee of Mocksville, North Carolina
Who pulled the plug on Hiroshima
The B-29 dropped its load of atomic death
Which exploded with a force equal to 20,000 tons of TNT
[Verse 1: J A Y E L E C T R O N I C A]
Bismillah
Bismillah
A`udhu billahi min ash-shaytan ar-rajim
Bismillah
Ashadualla ilaha illallah
Ash Hadu anna Muhamadar rasuulullah
The son of slaves
True I started out as a peasant
That’s why I build my temple like Solomon in the Desert
The Lord is my Rock
I speed dial through Salat
My trials in the fiery crucible made me hot
I glow like embers of coal
Born with The Touch of Gold
My Mathematical Theology of Rhyming a touch the Soul
I spent many nights bent off Woodford clutching the bowl
Stuffing my nose
Some of the cons I suffered for prose
My potery’s living like the God that I fall back on
All praise is due to Allah for such a illustrious platform
The teachings of The Honorable Elijah Muhammad’s my backbone
When I spit the Children on The Mothership bow on the platform
The true history of Jesus coming of age
I wore a ski mask and glove to the masquerade
I got the Roc on my shoulder
Somebody shoulda told ya
I’m a muthafuckin Universal Soldier
[Verse 2: JAY-Z]
Back when Emory Jones was catching a fed charge
I knew less about Chessimar
All about Pablo Escobar
Thinking I was the last one
Allah would lay his blessings on
I was trying not to end up like Tony in the restaurant
Now I’m the general of the geechie army
What don’t kill us make us stronger
That’s Nietzsche on me
Hot Boy like I’m B.G.
That Fiji on me
We done duck them fed charges
Now we eating confit
Le Fric Cest chic
That guilt trip ain’t gone work
Don’t put your luggage on we
You didn’t keep that same energy for the DuPont’s and Carnegie’s
We was in your cotton fields
Now we sitting on B’s
On me
[Outro: JAY-Z]
Save my soul
Save me from myself
Through my soul
#JayElectronica #AWrittenTestimony #UniversalSoldier - Hudba
Still listening to this masterpiece in 2024 🔥 Jay Electronica and Hov killed this track two of the best ever
Facts
One of the greatest rap songs of all time
No doubt! I'm glad I'm not the only one! I play it over and over!
Easily. It is so hard. When he says he’s a universal soldier
💯💯💯💥
Facts. 4 minutes of pure excellence.
Got my vote!
Sheeeeeeeeeeeeit
This album just gets better and better.
Love how jay electronica always gives praise to god in his rhymes
"That guilt trip ain't gonna work. Don't put your luggage on we." Hov so clever with the word play.
His whole verse is basically flawless.
I learned about black history, German philosophy and early industrial 19th century America from one verse.
_Hot boy like I'm B.G./That Fiji on me_
_We done ducked them fed charges/Now we eating confit_
So simple but confit _(confit de canard*, he said he DUCKED charges)_ and _le fric, c'est chic_ sows together and that is a level of brilliance I can't even explain it's like his Pound Cake verse when he was mentioned all the races and no one noticed.
*Duck confit is probably the most iconic French dish and then he says what amounts to _money is cool_ or _having money is aristocratic_ in French. I know it's not that serious but I don't hear this type of then often. I saw this album but never listened to it.
@@makerKID5 not to mention the entire Nietzsche line
People really don’t understand the levels in a lot of his work
@@Aleph1022 he said “German philosophy “ in his comment. Or can’t you read…
@@makerKID5 the bar before this one? 'C'est chic' = 'Said she'. 🤐🤐🤐
He could've said that guilt trip ain't gon fly but yeah that was crazy
My poetry's livin' like the God that I fall back on
And all praises due to Allah for such a illustrious platform
The teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad's my backbone
When I spit, the children on the mothership bow on a platform
The true history of Jesus comin' to age
I wore a ski mask and glove to the masquerade
I got the Roc on my shoulder
Somebody should've told you, I'm a motherfuckin' universal soldier 👑
The baddest brand in the land! Crazy seeing you here but you are a true appreciator of good music I’m not surprised bro salute and shalom all praises due to the most high !
H o l y
❤
This song gives me goosebumps… it’s a interesting mix of emotions. The background vocals give it soul and the cheering brings joy.. yet the beat is dark and triumphant. The combination of both jays word play are the cherry on top.
I imagine the weight of his music had the weight of ancient Celtic trumpeters in battle At that time
This song has been on repeat for 3 hours
Billionaire mindset music
3 days for me
This song has been on repeat for 3 months 📀
It's been on repeat for a full year now
1 year on repeat ...
I glow like embers of coal born with a touch of gold. 🤦🏽♂️ this man never misses. Thank you 🙏🏽
This is higher level music! The edge of the end
Fire comment! This is a special song lyrics and that beat aww man!
@@dream.c-atcher4634 yes siiiir!!!
FACTS
Yes facts
Stfu "Greg"
On repeat for the last month. I can't get enough. Simply brilliant.
"My mathematical theology of rhymin'll touch the soul" I think that bar alone sums up why we love Jay Elec so much.
Masterful wordplay, and he's actually saying something.
This song and whole album gives me strength and power in much needed times shout out to Jay Electronica and Jay - Z the gods came through for us those of us who understand the message
Peace to the Nation of Islam, the Nation of Gods and Earths, the Temple of Hip Hop, and All Righteous Peoples of the Ummah.
Salaam beloved 👑👑👑👑👑
Elec verse krayzzz, "The son of salves, I started out as a peasant, that's why build my temple like Solomon in the desert". That right there is, making something outta nothing.
Best song on the album! So cinematic!!
my fav track off the album, need more of this vibe
This is my favorite along with flux the next songnaww man that Hov verse!
💯🔥
@@dream.c-atcher4634 I can’t stand that damn song for some reason 🤔
I wish it was longer
No cap
This pure gold still in 2024
Dude could’ve been the DaVinci of hip hop easily . He paints master portraits
this song changed my life. i have literally never heard something as perfect as this
this track alone is the best piece of music put out this year. next level. very inspiring
I've been on this joint for the last 2days n still on it.
Amen! This is fire!!!
And I still feel the same way
The best Jay-Z verse on the album! #Classic 💯
The layers in Jay z verse is insane
“I was trying not to end up like tony in the restaurant” hard sopranos bar.
melquan Clay I just finished watching sopranos the other day..love that bar!
@@camerontaylor6242 He meant ANTONIO MONTANA in Scarface.
@@elbeeii2288 could it have been both?
@@ieatemcees it was sopranos no question
He talking about Tony Montana
This is so beautiful. Such mind and soul and spirit elevating work of art.
So timeless!
Really worth the wait. 🌼💛🙏🏽
🤲🏿
bro got a jay electronica comment 🐐
song not only got me through quarantine ....this is a true masterpiece in a time when the word is over used.....thank you so much jay an emotional giving....you can tell when an artist puts his soul into something....timeless
Budden has the audacity to hate on this Album....GTFOH what you done lately? smh
First thing came to mind is Budden a Big Hater.cause he was a one hit Wonder
Yea he gave him zero credit . Seems like jealousy. I get his point about having hov on every track..
Lol haters
JOE BUDDEN is a jealous, envious, a dumb opinionated FAILED Rapper. A noicy human turd with an annoying voice. He's ungracious and completely offers no wisdom!
Clear Water Well then you could say jay elec is a no hit wonder. Budden has like 15 albums lol. And honestly, jay z CARRIED jay elec on this album. Jay elec had so much potential... but 11 year wait for his low energy, subpar bars?
I was listening to this song while at the gas station. Guy on the other side of the pump was like "what is that!".
Who produced this??? WOW! THIS IS IT!!
Jay Elec himself
Jay Electronica
Jay Elec & James Blake
🦁⚔️🔥
Jay-z verse was bossy asf 💯
Remember everybody. It's a wave, frequency, energy that you have to be on. Like literally, you have to be tuned in to get certain things. Not just music but even subliminal messages. If you're in tune cool, if not cool. Frequency emitting, frequency receiving. Gotta be on the same channel
💯💯💯
BIG facts
"When I spit, the children on the mothership bow on a platform"
Why this goes so hard wtf 😢
The Lord is my rock I speed dial through salat. 🔥Masterpiece #HustleMusik
Jay Electronica can form a army and i can be the lieutenant.. Dude a special kind of general if you not feeling his music you aint listening right! Peace King
February 2024 this is still 🔥🔥🔥
MAN THAT HOV VERSE BRA . OH MY GOD
This is poetry, this is art. Discovered it recently, been on repeat ever since!
Worth the wait.
Can't believe this hasn't even passed 50k views yet....This needs millions!!!
To be honest. The new generation dont feel this.... I do, but I'm 38
@@jayfromcali7091 I'll be 33 this summer and I def feel this too.
@@VWayyyyyyyy we are supposed to you are still from a era where music was good and lyrical
Am 22 years... and I do I agree that my generation doesn’t seem to be understanding shit from this music, even my peers look at me creepy aF 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤨😵😤😤👀👀 But my ears are always in need of it’s food 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
I love Jay Elec, and this album, but let's not act like he's not 10 years late. IF he dropped this back when he was hot, daaaaaaamn
GZA and JAY ELECTRONICA album needed.
A cipher going on and the Gods is building...
@@sportsfan120577 🔥🔥
@@circaeternity there is a doom and jay song that's nice if you havent heard it
@@sportsfan120577 Wow bro thanks a lot. I'll check it out pronto.
@Acid Savage productions Thanks so much A.S.P.
Although rare, it is refreshing and POWERFUL to hear a tune that IMMEDIATELY COMMANDS YOUR ATTENTION WHILE DEMANDING YOUR BEST SELF BE PRESENT TO LISTEN TO IT EVERY TIME YOU HEAR IT! !!!
The beat, the flow, the sampling, the outro vocals.
Thank you, Elec. Been waiting for this since October 2018
“The true history of Jesus coming of age, I wore a ski mask and gloves to the mascarade” 😷
👑🔮🗝️ #SheKnowz

Masquerade*
I know he's hinting that the revealing of the black Jesus is about to come to past, but I don't understand the "I wore a ski mask and gloves to the masquerade" verse. Somebody please explain
@@nativesun9865 I guess it's just about Jay breaking convention or social obligation, or at least twisting it. Masquerades are essentially formal parties or gatherings where people tend to dress up and cover their faces. In the face of a formal event, Jay is gonna wear a ski mask and gloves, completely breaking with the convention, he's masked anyway. Perhaps he's implying that people in Masquerades reflect their true nature by dressing up. Many are born into wealthy families and are brought up to be socialites, whereas Jay Elec was raised in the Magnolia Projects. So, Jay reflects HIS true nature. His history. His upbringing. His challenges.
If Jay is going to have to mingle with these people and step out of this shell (remember that earlier on the album I think he alluded to the fact that he's basically been in hibernation and many people wanted to listen to his music) then he's going to do it on his own terms.
@@ImperialAssassi4U Hmmnn interesting perspective. Thanks
This album went over my head for 2 years
🔥 fire. Electronica spit crazy. I love the melody at the end by Jay-z I wanted more of that vibe. This might have year after year replay value.
Classic.
Vibrating at its highest level....waking up
Bantu tribal blood here!!!
Top 10 song of all time .. most powerful song in the last decade
I still haven't dissected this album because im always stuck on 2 or 3 songs but everytime i come back to it, it seems like it's new.
Le fric c'est chic....Jay dans son element
Jay Z’s verse shot the song into legendary status.
i never heard hov like this
This song hit it my top 42 out of 100 of the best songs of all time, trully incredible.
Probably one of my favorite tracks on this.
"some of the cons i suffered for pros/prose" what a great lien that is. Jay is so talented.
I think about this line all the time. Jay Elec is incredible its just too bad he doesnt put out more stuff. Makes the small stuff more special though i guess. Voodoo Man is still one of my favorite rap songs ever. amazing
I cant even comprehend the album in its entirety. Yet, the parts I understand move me. This album is mauvelous!
Thats good. Now you can study on the lyrics and catch new shit everytime you come back to it
Wow crazy how I can come back to this as I grow and it hits different
Jay Electronicas verse is so profound 🤯
With Love from South Africa. This song goes in. Shout out Jay Electronica
divine production on this
That beat is unleashed
Jay z wordplay sheesh🤯
🗣 IT’S THE ROC
This song is so hard. The beat alone hard but the combo and words make the song even more amazing! J & J, similar to, but not to be confused with Johnson and Johnson.
This joint is still amazing bruh. Spiritual.
I swear to God this song is on repeat since jay dropped the album
I find it more like spiritual healing,, God bless you king 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Don't be fooled man this isn't Islam this is purely there to lie and mislead people this is a powerful music there to mislead this is satanic music. He mocks Muhammad may peace and blessings be upon him and he mocks Jesus whos in Islam is a prophet and is still alive in our teachings he also mocks Allah like he owns Allah comparing praying salah to a speedial with Allah what if all the salah your praying is rejected by Allah and he also says he has links with the devils and he has a master other than Allah the guy is a devil worshiper it's so clear Don't be fooled akhi assalamu aleykum peace.
@@manofdawa60 You don't know what you're talking about my friend. Only a mad man would worship something that doesn't exist, the devil. The devil is a lie, born of man's ignorance of God.
You people go too far with your conspiracies, never stopping to question your overly questioning queries.
Album of the year! Still bumping it six months after its release!
This is the theme song to my life.
This whole album was a much needed history lesson.💯 🤲🏿✨
This album is epic 🔥
Every word they spit hits my soul
Holistic track. From the vocals to the instrumental, just magical🔥🔥🔥
this song is healing thankyou jay and hov
Thanks to this album for helping me get through 2020
Favorite off the album 🔥

We was sitting in your cotton fields now we sitting on B'S.....On Me...Hov the 🐐
