SAUL WILLIAMS - OUR FATHER Lyrics

I just want to talk about a good father, now comingFrom me if you where to personallyLook at my life, you would ask theQuestion what do you know about a good father?And that would be a fair question, because one ofThe statements i have written on my notesHere today is that men need examples andThat’s not holy men, all of us are helped by examples.But it does seem that as men we feel better whenOther men show us that they are manEnough to do whatever it is that we haveHesitancy in doing, whether it is cook, sew maybe sit or toShout, clap our hands, cry.We sometimes can't do it until weSee other men who have lost themselvesIn the praise of god and in life.So it would certainly be a fair question, on thisFather’s day to ask what do you know about a good father.Now when i say father i am speaking of one whoIs the guardian or biological male in your life.Who takes you out with them, who teachesYou and gives you the instructions to follow.Proverbs talks about the son or daughter followingThe instructions of the father, well certainly there is noEquivication about that, that’sWonderful, howe'er, in order to follow ones instructionsThey most know what they are doing.We ask sociologically why are there soMany messed up families, what’s the problem?Well in most of those cases, those childrenHave no or little example to follow.There are exceptions but in most of those casesThey have little or no example to follow.A good father is more than one whoProvides shelter, food and body coverage.Now i pray that those fathers who areHere and those mothers who had toBe fathers also and everyone once in a while we findSome fathers who had to be mothers also:Saul:Our father which art in st. frances hospital for hypotension.Our father which art in jumpsuits and prisons, federal detention.Our father which art in dark bars and alleys, lethal injection.Our father which art in denial and 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. selves disraeli end.Dear goddess we made this break beat just for youAs an offering, can you hear us now.Dear goddess we made this break beat just for youAs an offering, can you hear us now.Dear goddess we made this break beat just for youAs an offering, can you feel us now.Dear goddess we made this break beat just for youAs an offering, can you heel us now.When i was young i cried when i found out i couldn’t have childrenSoon after i started rhyming no one was nicer than meI mean it up state new yorkI learned to beat box in my tree houseSounded good out thereWould you rather hear about guns fearOr broken glass in the tenementShould i rob to make you fear me now.Dear goddess can you hear me now clear theWay 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 thisBreak beat just for you as an offering, can you heel us now.I’m suppose to be dressed up in mc ‘cause i never sold a key.I sold my homework butYou’ all nigger’s were to busy hustling to doThe down work now you can only rhyme aboutHow you’re stealing chrome work or your cell phone jerkChange your topic, damn i'm suppose to be prayingI got to stop it.Dear goddess we made this break beat just for youAs an offering, can you hear us now.Dear goddess we made this break beat just for youAs an offering, can you hear us now.Dear goddess we made this break beat just for youAs an offering an offering.
