Testo Our Father - Saul Williams
Testo della canzone Our Father (Saul Williams), tratta dall'album Amethyst Rock Star
I just want to talk about a good father. Now, coming from me, if you
Were to personally look at my life, you would ask the question, "
What do you know about a good father?" And that would be a fair
Question because one of the statements that I have written on my
Notes here today is that men need examples. That's not wholly men
All of us are helped by examples. But it does seem that as men we
Feel better when other men show us that they are man enough to do
Whatever it is that we have hesitancy in doing. Whether it's cook
Sew, babysit, whether it's shout, clap our hands, cry, you sometimes
Can't do it until we see other men who have lost themselves in
The praise of God and in life. So it would certainly be a fair
Question on this Father's Day to ask, "What do you know about a
Good father?" Now, when I say "father," I am speaking of one who
Is the guardian or biological male in your life, who takes you out
With them, who teaches you, gives you the instructions to follow
Proverbs talks about the son or daughter following the instructions
Of the father. Well, certainly, there is no equivocation about that
That's wonderful how, in order to follow one's instructions, they
Must know what they're doing. We ask sociologically, "Why are there
So many messed up families? What's the problem?" Well, in most of
Those cases, those children have no or little example to follow
There are exceptions, but in most of those cases, they had little
Or no example to follow. A good father is more than one who provides
Shelter, food, and body coverings. Now, I pray that those fathers
Who are here, those mothers who had to be fathers also, and every
Once in a while we find some fathers who had to be mothers also
Our father, Richard 10
St. Francis Hospital for hypertension
Our father, Richard 10
Jumpsuits in prisons, federal detention
Our father, Richard 10
Dark bars and alleys, lethal injection
Our father, Richard 10
Denial, delusion, this cannot happen again
Hallowed be thy (State your name for the record)
Hallowed be thy (State your name for the record)
Hallowed be thy (State your name for the record)
Hallowed be thy (State your name for the record)
Hallowed be thy (State your name for the record)
Hallowed be thy (State your name for the record)
Solstice, will.i.am
Dear Goddess, we made this breakbeat just for you as an offering
Can you hear us now?
Dear Goddess, we made this breakbeat just for you as an offering
Can you hear us now?
Dear Goddess, we made this breakbeat just for you as an offering
Can you hear us now?
Dear Goddess, we made this breakbeat just for you as an offering
Can you hear us now?
When I was young, I cried when I found out I couldn't have children
Soon after, I started rhymin', no one was nicer than me, I mean it
Upstate New York, I learned to beatbox in my treehouse
Sounded good up there, would you rather hear
'Bout cousin fear or broken glass in the tenement?
Should I rhyme to make you fear me now?
Dear Goddess, can you hear me now?
Clear the way and prepare me now
Dear Goddess, can you hear me now?
Dear Goddess, we made this breakbeat just for you as an offering
Can you hear us now?
Dear Goddess, we made this breakbeat just for you as an offering
Can you hear us now?
I'm supposed to be less of an MC 'cause I never sold a key
I sold my homework, but y'all niggas was
Too busy hustlin' to do the dome work
Now you can only rhyme about how you're
Stealin' Chromebook or your cell phone, jerk
Change the topic, damn, I'm 'posed to be prayin', I gotta stop it
Dear Goddess, we made this breakbeat just for you as an offering
Can you hear us now?
Dear Goddess, we made this breakbeat just for you as an offering
Can you hear us now?
Dear Goddess, we made this breakbeat just for you as an offering
An offering
