Ezekiel’s Wheel Feat. The-Dream
Jay Electronica Lyrics

Interrupt this record to bring you a special bulletin
Breaking news announcement interrupting the current entertainment program

Rumors of a flying saucer hovering over the city have been confirmed
Reports of an unidentified flying object spotted in the city have been verified

Switching now to our on the spot reporter, downtown
Cutting to the live correspondent in the downtown area

And this is downtown (downtown)
Confirmation of the current location being downtown

Er, pardon me madam but would you tell our audience
Asking a bystander for their opinion on the situation

What would you do if the saucer were to land?
Asking for the individual's reaction if the UFO were to touch down

We gon' see (we gon' see)
Uncertainty about the future events that will unfold

When the sun goes down
Waiting until nightfall for the situation to progress

Talk that fuck shit now
Boldly speaking irreverent language

We gon' see
Reiterating a sense of anticipation and uncertainty

For sure
Confirming the likelihood of a certain outcome

Feelin' on me, right now (right now)
Experiencing physical touching in the present moment

Feelin' on me, right now (right now), uh
Repeating previous line for emphasis

They talkin' to me right
Feeling a sense of communication from higher powers

Hahahaha
Expressing amusement or sarcasm

Yeah, yeah, yeah
General interjection and affirmation

You in your feelings, pipe down (pipe down)
Telling someone to control their emotional reaction and be quiet

Billin' on me, right now (right now)
Owing money or debts in the present moment

She feelin' on me
Receiving physical touch from a woman

We gon' see (hmm, hmm, what?)
Expressing uncertainty about future events and outcomes

My time is, right now (right now)
Acknowledging the current moment as their time to shine

I'm in the, light now (light now)
Feeling enlightened and in a state of illumination

Talk to me, nice
Asking others to speak respectfully and kindly towards the singer

They say it was never gon' happen
Others have expressed doubt in the artist's success

But I survived neverland like the Jacksons
Describing how the singer overcame obstacles like the Jackson family overcame their scandals

You never swallow slanderous lies for the devil's satisfaction
The singer never believed in false claims or rumors made to discredit them

I still got my glitter gloves
The singer still has their shining and impressive qualities

I still got my glitter socks
The artist still has their valuable and unique traits

Now I'm moonwalkin' on your couch, with many zippers on my jacket (on my jacket)
The artist is moving around with enthusiasm and confidence in their fashion choices

Jay cirque du soleil-ica
Comparing the singer to the acrobats of a famous circus group

I started on Tatooine but now I'm way out in Dagobah
Describing the singer's journey from a humble beginning to an elevated position

Mastered the force, made my saber I'm in the light now (light now)
The artist has conquered their challenges and is now in a positive place mentally and emotionally

It's the hour chaos, the black steelers on me right now (right now)
The artist is facing a time of turmoil and having many issues come their way

(Kill 'em with that bullshit)
Using deception or misleading language to defeat opponents or obstacles

Some ask me "Jay man
Others have approached the singer with questions or concerns

Why come for so many years you been exempt?"
Asking why the artist has not faced certain challenges or issues that others have experienced

'Cause familiarity don't bring gratitude just contempt
The singer values change and diversity rather than maintaining the same routine

And the price of sanity is too damn high just like the rent
Mental and emotional stability can be expensive and difficult to maintain, similar to high housing costs

Hmm hmm, hmm hmm, hmm hmm, uh, uh
Random interjections and hums without specific meaning

Sometimes I was held down by the gravity of my pen (pen)
The artist felt restrained or weighed down by their own creative or intellectual work

Sometimes I was held down by the gravity of my sin (sin)
The artist felt burdened or restrained by their own wrongdoings or mistakes

Sometimes like Santiago, at crucial points of my novel
Referencing a character from a famous novel, the singer has faced important and difficult decisions

My only logical option was to transform into the wind
The singer had to adapt and change in order to overcome challenges or obstacles

I ain't the type to let it slide or just ignore it
The artist is proactive in addressing issues or conflicts

Whatever you want get into, my nigga I'm here for it
The artist is willing to get involved or participate in whatever activity or situation the other person is interested in

I had a shot of D'usse, now the ace of spade is pourin'
The artist is drinking high quality or expensive alcohol

My vision's 20/20, and the feelin' is euphoric
The singer has a clear and positive outlook, and is experiencing intense joy

If I'm not on my harley then I'm on that Panigali
The artist is always moving and active, whether on a motorcycle or other vehicle

I'm smellin' like a Marley, doin' ninety on an on-ramp
The singer has a particular scent or aroma, and is driving at high speed

And my destiny is callin'
The singer feels a sense of purpose or direction, and is responding to their calling

I represent new orleans
The singer is a representative of their city or hometown

My mama and my grandma and my hero uncle Charlie
Referencing important family members who have influenced the artist

I'm tryna catch a body
The artist is attempting to accomplish something successfully or impressively

No this is not a maybe
Asserting the likelihood of a certain outcome

It is definitely probably
Confirming the chances of a certain outcome

I'm gon' get you that wasabi
The artist will provide or accomplish something requested by another person

Look, it could be the dance floor
The setting or situation could be any number of things

Or right in your building lobby
Location could be inside a building or other space

It could be in Lagos
The location could be outside of the current country or continent

Or Seattle or Chicagui
Naming different cities that the scenario could take place in

Hotel lobby Grammy afterparty, it's what-obvi
Making a reference to a specific location or event

I'm down to catch a body
Repeating previous line for emphasis

I drop a gear, I disappear, then re-appear
The singer moves quickly or suddenly between different situations

Then dump the clutch and wheelie down the highway
Making a reference to motorcycle riding

My debut album featurin' Hov, man this is highway robbery
Feeling confident about the success of their first album, which features a popular artist

It's like I hit the lottery
Feeling extremely lucky or fortunate

I busted up the piñati
Having a celebratory or successful moment

Now I'm hot like a tamale
Being successful or in high demand

It's just like I caught a body
Feeling like they achieved a great accomplishment

It will be pandemonium if I show up to the party
Causing a commotion or excitement if they attend an event

May all my haters hit they knees and throw up in the toilet
Revenge or satisfaction for those who have criticized or opposed the singer

In the twinkle of a nod, I went from legend to historic
Achieving a great accomplishment or recognition in a short amount of time

Catchin' bodies after bodies
Continuously achieving success and accomplishments

You say my name like Candyman
Making a reference to a famous horror movie character

I pop out of your closet and withdraw me a deposit
Making a humorous reference to a bank withdrawal

I'm loyal to Elijah just like Eric was to Godric
Making a reference to characters from a popular book and TV series

I'm tryna catch a body, no no I just caught a body
Repeating previous line for emphasis

I will give you that wasabi and peel off on my Duccatis (skrrr)
Fulfilling a previous promise and making a sound effect

Talk to me, nice (nice)
Asking others to speak respectfully and kindly towards the singer
