[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
