February 23rd 1987: “Quintessential” supernova burst on the scene. Light from the brightest supernova of the 20th century reaches Earth from 168,000 light-years away.

[Chorus]
I'm the brightest silver lining
'Cause I'm the brightest silver lining
Don't make me, make me take my light back

[Verse 1: Ab-Soul]
Demigod with a record deal
Everything's puny to me, you a newbie
I'm from Nibiru, microphone check one, two, three
Master of ceremony no matter the territory, I'm cozy
Oz. of OG, my brain playin' Ring Around the Rosy
The fried egg in my head defies science
I'm Bill Nye, goin' to great heights to stay the highest
Call me Soulo ho the Prophet
But do you really comprehend it? (No!)
Is it prophet meaning messenger
Or profit meaning expenses?
Pick it… ah, forget it!

[Chorus]
I'm the brightest silver lining
'Cause I'm the brightest silver lining
Don't make me, make me take my light back
