BlackJack by Thaddeus Tukes Lyrics
[Intro]
This is that
Toxicology, killing the mediocrity
Why does he sound so college-y?
He be flowing so consciously
Thought pattern out of this world like astronomy
Stars shining, fine dining, run through my mind constantly
Musical prodigy, such a distinct anomaly
Some say i'm an oddity, novelty, genius probably
Honestly i'm just trying to break new ground
Wait wait wait wait
Isn't this the remix?
[Verse]
No one really understands my vision's clearer than eyes can see
Angels flying on top of me
Came in thinking like Socrates
Change a nation's philosophy
Really sill, willy nilly, feel me?
Subconsciously way to witty, shades to fifty
Can you forsee autonomy?
Conscious, caring, and constantly
Reassessing society
Power, privilege, and poverty
Casa Blanca, the irony
Never what you thought i'd be
Why you so surprised that I can rap and speak intelligently?
What was your depiction of me?
Dispositionally miseducated but unconventionally aced the test
So consequentially my metaphors are metaphorically better than the best
With the cards stacked against me, keep my hands to my chest
And i love you all to life, cuz we're seeing way too much death
Cutting hearts with that spade
Blood diamonds for trade
But it isn't too late
To join the club that we made
Just know the principles
Passion, Power, and Paper
To re-empower your neighbor
And being real from night to day
I'm only a player when it comes to music
I write love songs for you, hope you're really into it
And wish that maybe one day, you will intuit
That you've got me, and long as you're mine, you'll never lose it
I use to love them, I used to love them, I used to love them
Saying something like, "Why you fronting, you need a husband"
Who knew that everything, all the sudden, turn into nothing
And something's nothing until you running from cuts and cuffing
But now i'm chilling, fresh prince living
Sitting ready and willing
Start redirecting your feelings
I'm lowkey a genius villian
The critics saying i'm killing
The vibraphone, journalism is like
One in a trillion
I'm trying to teach the children
Remember the million victims
While shaking hands with the ones' who are worth billions
Yeah, it's been that real
See, it's way way bigger than the music
A revolutionary movement, it's more of an atunement
Ra music to fill your Sol and mental accruement
Syndicate's just so hot and we've got pictures to prove it
I mean, how many 9 piece bands can groove and swing?
A horn section that not only plays, but sings?
Rhythm players that make you dance, harmonic dream?
A lady who sings and sounds like the Queen?
And we run everything
This that toxic Acid Raps on the Innanet
That Comfortably in your zone, take an hour nap
That Super Fly guy with Food and Liquor in his bag
The Kingdom is coming with Yeezus if you're into that
I'm born a Jack but Black by trade
Which means i'm beautiful, a royal make
I really know my worth and you can't change
That i will rule your world and still be paid
Young BlackJack the prince, who can you convince?
That you got the juice? That you got the gin?
Go You NU, know it's common sense
Do you hear that the blues is still relevant
Cuz I know you dig it when i kick it baby (Black Jack)
I know you you dig it when i kick it baby (Black Jack)
I know you really really fill it baby (Black Jack)
So come one over, you can get it baby (Black Jack)
I was told don't be good, be great
So great, i'm coming after your entire estate
Build an empire like Rome
Thaddeus Tukes, let it be known
A success from the not so United States
(BlackJack)
This is that
Toxicology, killing the mediocrity
Why does he sound so college-y?
He be flowing so consciously
Thought pattern out of this world like astronomy
Stars shining, fine dining, run through my mind constantly
Musical prodigy, such a distinct anomaly
