Jay Electronica - Departure Lyrics

Send "Departure" ringtone to your cell

As the tears welled up in my eyes

My mama said "Son what happened?"

"Sometimes I can't breathe cause it's so much crap man

I called on God but he don't call back and

Fight to stay sane while the devil's laughin'

Last night I was across the tracks

With Freddy and Black Teddy just playin' a crap game

Smokin' on stank

Sippin' on drank

When Brian came flyin up the block like batman

'*pant pant* Minnie got killed!

His wig got peeled in the Callio

By some Tenth Ward niggas that we barely know!'

I said 'Hold up whoa whoa whoa whoa

You must be jokin'' but he wasn't laughin'

Freddy passed out in the the grass and that's when

His mother came outside and said 'Where's Minnie?'

I looked down at the ground 'I don't know where he's at ma'am.'

Lump in my throat; I just lost my best friend

Connecticut Minnie with the East Coast accent

Top it all of my older cousin Mookie got caught

With some yellow capped vials of crack man

"It's time for me to leave home Ma; that's that man

It ain't much left here to see for a black man

I'mma spread my wings pursue this rap thing

Kiss my baby sister tell her I'll be back

I'm on I-10 East bound to Manhattan

NYC. Yes sir that's rap land

A one way ticket a trunk of clothes

I spent my last 25 cent on Pac-Man

Mister bus driver set me free;

Just take me to New York and let me be
