Our Father (исполнитель: Saul Williams)
I just want to talk about a good father. [bad word] from me, if you where 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 I have written on my notes here today is that men need examples. That's not holy 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 is cook, sew, babysit or to shout, clap our hands, cry. We 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 and gives you the [bad word] to follow. Proverbs talks about the son or daughter following the [bad word] of the father. Well, certainly there is no equivication about that, that's wonderful, howe'er, in order to follow one's [bad word] 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 have little or no example to follow. good father is more than one who provides shelter, food and body coverage. Now, I pray that those fathers who are here and those mothers who had to be fathers also and everyone once in a while we find some fathers who had to be mothers also: [Saul Williams] Our father which art in St. Frances Hospital for hypertension 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 Self's Disraeli end Dear Goddess, We made this break beat just for you As an offering Can you hear us now?
