From “Balloons” (Jay Electronica verse):

Head to head I wager nary a satan would take a look at me

And a few f*ckboy eighty-fiver come run up and press me

It’s all a hoax, fairly easy, a joke like Zelenskyy

The imams, the rabbis, and the Pope, by the way

Couldn’t cease my boca from quotin’ quotes from the senseis

If anyone asks, inform ’em Farrakhan despatched me

Right here’s the reality. I’m not antisemitic. I don’t hate teams of individuals. I’m towards white supremacy, which is a worldwide system that privileges individuals who establish as white. I’ve been clear about this for years.

I’m not going to apologize for a verse I didn’t write. I’m not going to apologize for together with it on my album. In the event you really feel like I’m fallacious for together with that’s honest. Don’t pay attention. Unfollow and assist all the opposite wonderful rappers placing out dope music. Your disappointment really means completely nothing to me, and I say that with love.
