[00:25.812] Haile Selassie
[00:34.707] High as the eyelids of osprey
[00:37.807] I'm thriving
[00:38.822] Poseidon your trident can't stop me from diving
[00:42.007] Looking for my
[00:43.168] Looking for my
[00:44.166] Looking for my
[00:46.111] As I float
[00:47.495] Brand new shell for my ghost
[00:49.263] Tattoos all on my coast
[00:51.609] Throughout history
[00:53.272] It has been the inaction of those who could have acted
[00:55.613] The indifference of those who should have known better
[00:58.421] The silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most
[01:02.132] This, has made it possible for evil to triumph
[01:06.686] Selassie
[01:08.330] Man's limitation, transfiguration
[01:10.850] Haka dance done at the welcome to the demo
[01:12.933] Modern man comes to the weddin' in the limo
[01:15.134] Mixin' doves with the rice rain
[01:16.931] Uncle Ben's off the rails on the night train
[01:19.285] And that storm took us to the platform, pushas
[01:21.627] Back to the bachelor's backdoor, unhook us
[01:23.772] Hope this track take you back to where the fat girl pushed us
[01:26.101] And that's very old like Blackberry Bold but the juice
[01:30.211] Sweeter than where the party at, or
[01:32.053] Releasing these ****** from the roofs, and
[01:34.444] Leavin' these ****** on the loose, or
[01:36.529] Keepin' these ****** in the coops, and
[01:38.767] Leavin' these ****** on the noose, free!
[01:40.908] Shamu fan got a world to see!
[01:43.261] Haile Selassie
[01:44.271] High as the eyelids of osprey
[01:46.171] I'm thriving
[01:47.336] Poseidon your trident can't stop me from diving
[01:50.491] Looking for my
[01:51.835] Looking for my
[01:52.831] Looking for my
[01:54.612] As I float
[01:56.110] Brand new shell for my ghost
[01:57.829] Tattoos all on my coast
[02:00.985] Then until the philosophy which holds one race superior
[02:04.102] And another inferior
[02:05.495] Is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned
[02:08.669] That until there no longer
[02:09.917] First class and second class citizens of any nation
[02:12.844] Until the color of a man's skin
[02:14.667] Is of no more significance than the color of his eyes
[02:16.830] Selassie
[02:17.749] To the limit
[02:18.541] The limit in the Methadone clinic
[02:19.829] Ridin' with the pack like a Peloton
[02:21.698] Flyin' with the sack in the trap like the pregnant
[02:23.822] As it breaks in the backs from the cracks that we step upon
[02:27.026] If I triple my worth will it cripple my mom?
[02:29.546] If I simple my search will it mental my calm?
[02:31.570] Will it hurt if I give you my palm?
[02:33.450] To tell in it, don't put a nail in it
[02:35.122] How you gonna see the world if you a whale in it
[02:37.154] And readin' my palms like there's braille in it
[02:38.842] Is it the trail or the forest?
[02:41.831] Or the forest with the trail in it?
[02:43.394] That's a sail with a 12 in it
[02:44.824] Water coming through from impalin' it
[02:46.398] (Water come through for me now)
[02:47.540] Nothin' left of the boat but my holes
[02:49.397] Still I fill up the world and I float, like
[02:51.628] Haile Selassie
[02:52.837] High as the eyelids of osprey
[02:54.851] I'm thriving
[02:55.965] Poseidon your trident can't stop me from diving
[02:59.049] Looking for my
[03:00.266] Looking for my
[03:01.329] Looking for my
[03:03.234] As I float
[03:04.635] Brand new shell for my ghost
[03:07.023] Tattoos all on my coast
[03:10.650] A qualified man with vision
[03:12.288] Unmoved by daily selfish interests
[03:15.173] Led to right decisions by his conscience
[03:17.999] In general, a man who knows from whence he comes
[03:20.806] And where he's going
[03:22.022] Will cooperate with his fellow human beings
[03:24.278] He will not be satisfied with merely doing his ordinary duties
[03:27.589] But will inspire others by his good example
[03:29.845] You are being watched by the nation
[03:31.861] And you should realize
[03:33.094] That you, will satisfy it if you do good
[03:35.980] But on the contrary, you do evil, it will lose its hope and confidence in you
[03:41.591] Selassie
[03:42.797] Hydrant open wide
[03:44.046] On the side of the colonized
[03:45.237] Swimmin' in the street, fell asleep on my mama thighs
[03:47.341] Blockin' out the noise that destroys little boys
[03:49.237] Live enjoy, ships ahoy, get deployed by the rock-a-byes
[03:51.437] D-d-d-deep into the sea of my dreams
[03:53.629] Lyin' fall asleep at the feet of my queen
[03:55.691] Hawk Imma write to the beat of your wings
[03:57.886] Song for the Ethiopian King
[04:00.096] Haile
[04:00.663] Haile Selassie
[04:01.384] High as the eyelids of osprey
[04:02.992] I'm thriving
[04:04.605] Poseidon your trident can't stop me from diving
[04:07.735] Looking for my
[04:08.904] Looking for my
[04:09.889] Looking for my
[04:11.829] As I float
[04:13.396] Brand new shell for my ghost
[04:15.063] Tattoos all on my coast
[04:17.264] Haile Selassie
[04:18.399] High as the eyelids of osprey
[04:20.506] I'm thriving
[04:21.696] Poseidon your trident can't stop me from diving
[04:24.727] Looking for my
[04:25.959] Looking for my
[04:27.105] Looking for my
[04:29.056] As I float
[04:30.299] Brand new shell for my ghost
[04:32.304] Tattoos all on my coast
[04:34.568]
