[Verse One]
Girlfriend, I don't know what you did to me
But it sure feel like something good for me
Stay on my mind all day and all night
I'm seriously contemplatin on makin you wife
Yup, I'm twenty-seven girl I need to settle down now
I don't need to be up in the club chasin the brown round
You don't need to to be up the streets chasin these clowns down
Let's say we catch a matinee today, downtown
So I can tell you bout this dream I had lately
The one with the house on the hill and a baby
The picket white fence, in a field full of daisies
The AMG kit on the silver Mercedes
Would it hurt you to try me? Hi, mami
Every good man got a good woman behind him
And every superhero got a good woman beside him
Girl stop playin', I wanna hold your hand

[Verse Two]
Look chocolate, lately I been feelin awkward
Finally found someone to talk with, walk through the park with
I'm on some Joan of Arc shit, I need a rider with me
Sometimes I sit and wonder why you even bother with me
Look Sean, looked in your eyes and seen dawn
Dewdrops on the leaves in the lawn
I breathe calmly, read Qur'an, see Surah 60
Love heals all past wounds, you assist me
You with me?
The butterflies came to get me
Cupid cocked back the four pound, squeezed one off, the shot hit me
North of the kidney, and now I'm head over
Wait here's the-

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.”
