Songwriter: Jay Electronica The Bullitts

Producer: Jay Electronica

[Verse 1: The Bullitts]
Don't try to hide, you might as well embrace it
You've done it all, turn around and face it
The teachers say
The end will never come
But you can't decide, you're burying the seasons
The words are gone every time you're speaking
The kings return
Now where will you reside?

[Chorus: The Bullitts]
Run and hide, hide, hide, hide
Run and hide, hide, hide, hide
Run and hide

[Verse 2: Jay Electronica]
Sentimental rain drops, the tears fall in increments
Like incremental pain drops, that wash away the stained spots
The western world is just a hive of scum and villainy
That's why superheroes wear disguises in trilogies
When the future is uncertain, and the wizard's just a man
Inside the booth behind the curtain, behaving like a serpent
With a bag full of everything except your home
Just remember, be yourself and accept your own
Or run and hide

[Chorus: The Bullitts]
Run and hide, hide, hide, hide
Run and hide, hide, hide, hide
Run and hide

[Refrain: The Bullits]
Hide, hide, hide
The kings return (Hide)
Now where will you reside?

[Chorus: The Bullitts]
Run and hide, hide, hide, hide
Run and hide, hide, hide, hide
Run and hide

Jay Electronica

Timothy Elpadaro Thedford (born September 19, 1976), better known by his stage name Jay Electronica, is an American rapper and record producer. He is from New Orleans, Louisiana and currently based in London, United Kingdom.

Electronica first gained significant attention after the release of the musical composition Act Eternal Sunshine (The Pledge), which was made available on a MySpace page in 2007 and has been called a “timeless classic” by Vice Magazine. It is fifteen continuous minutes of music, without drums, built from Jon Brion’s soundtrack to the film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. In late 2009 he released two singles, both produced by Just Blaze, “Exhibit A” and “Exhibit C”, the latter of which won a Sucker Free Summit Award for Instant Classic. In November 2010, it was announced Jay Electronica had signed to hip hop mogul Jay Z’s Roc Nation record label.

More than a decade after his last project, What the Fuck is a Jay Electronica, and almost exactly eight years to the DAY after he reportedly finished and turned in his album, Jay Electronica finally released his debut studio album A Written Testimony on March 13, 2020. The album features Jay-Z on eight of its ten tracks, leading some to label it a collab album between the two Jays. The-Dream also makes three appearances, and even Travis Scott makes a surprising appearance on “The Blinding.”
