SAUL WILLIAMS - Our Father lyrics

rate me

I just want to talk about a good father, now coming

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 and

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 maybe sit 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 instructions to follow.

Proverbs talks about the son or daughter following

The instructions of the father, well certainly there is no

Equivication about that, that's

Wonderful, howe'er, in order to follow ones instructions

They most know what they are 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.

A 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:

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 you

As an offering, can you hear us now.

Dear goddess we made this break beat just for you

As an offering, can you hear us now.

Dear goddess we made this break beat just for you

As an offering, can you feel us now.

Dear goddess we made this break beat just for you

As an offering, can you heel us now.

When I was young I cried when I found out I couldn't have children

Soon after I started rhyming no one was nicer than me

I mean it up state new york

I learned to beat box in my tree house

Sounded good out there

Would you rather hear about guns fear

Or broken glass in the tenement

Should I rob 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 break

Beat just for you as an offering, can you hear us now.

Dear goddess we made this

Break 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 but

You' all nigger's were to busy hustling to do

The down work now you can only rhyme about

How you're stealing chrome work or your cell phone jerk

Change your topic, damn I'm suppose to be praying

I got to stop it.

Dear goddess we made this break beat just for you

As an offering, can you hear us now.

Dear goddess we made this break beat just for you

As an offering, can you hear us now.

Dear goddess we made this break beat just for you

As an offering an offering.
