    Intro: Ronald Reagan]
    Winston Churchill said that "The destiny of man is not measured by material computations
    When great forces are on the move in the world
    We learn we are spirits, not animals"
    And he said "There's something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space
    Which, whether we like it or not, spells duty"
    You and I have a rendezvous with destiny
    We will preserve for our children this
    The last best hope of man on earth
    Or we will sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness
    [Verse 1: Jay Electronica]
    Sometimes I don't know what to say
    This a genuine miracle I woke up today, so I got up to pray
    But, my BBM was pinging when
    My Android started singing then
    I missed all of the glory for technological luxuries
    And just like that, I forgot all of the trees
    And the flowers and the breeze carryin' seeds across the seas
    Extra honey in my tea but pay no homage to the bee
    Whatever happened to us?
    And will we ever let the magic come and tap into us?
    We preach apocalypse written by John the Revelator
    But won't even speak to a stranger ridin' on a elevator
    Or step to the side when we standin' still on a escalator
    The planet earth is a hospital, we on the respirator
    I don't regret the haters
    Chorus: Jay Electronica]
    Sometimes that's what you need to see yourself
    Break through and free yourself, accept your own and be yourself
    It's magic
    The story of life is too tragic
    It's magic
    [Verse 2: Jay Electronica]
    This is The Turn, they ain't ready for Prestige yet
    The flow is too collegiate, the show is too prestigious
    Pretty like a flower, refreshin' like a shower
    Depression makes me sour, but it's still a feelin'
    My human heart and all my senses say, "It's still appealin'"
    I could be dead and gone, a brass band
    The second line, I could be headin' home
    And passersby may shed a tear after she read the stone
    This is luxury
    The story of life is not tragic
    It's magic
    [Chorus: Jay Electronica]
    Sometimes that's what you need to see yourself
    Break through and free yourself, accept your own and be yourself
    It's magic
    The story of life is not tragic
    It's a luxury
    Regards from rap genius

    Jay. This track touched me. I don't care if we don't share the same faith, you are my family by bloodline. We all must return to having love and accountability towards the ALMIGHTY and one another again.
    2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV - If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
    Proverbs 30:4 KJV - Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?
    Psalm 68:4 KJV - Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.

    Don't ever fret when the enemy gets away with things it's all being allowed for a purpose like our purpose for being here we don't know or understand, but we'll be shown if we hold on to his unchanging hand..Being still while doing the right thing will get you the answers that you need not want because we forget that we're still safe and here when the enemy does things behind the scene..God is our shield for so many things and those who continue to do wrong to their Brothers and Sisters always see and feel the power of God but are to embarrassed to turn to him because of all they have done not knowing the he wants them to...Happy Saturday❤

      Yes and no. Yes, because it's just came out at the end of 2020. No, because it was recorded in 2010 or 2011.

    The song definitely get me in my feelings no lie. “Ion regret the haters..sometimes that’s what you need to see yourself, breakthrough & free yourself, accept your own & be yourself” makes me think of my group of childhood friends who tried to snake & destroy me but ended up forcing me to find myself & lead me to a more fulfilling life in the long run ❤️‍🩹
