[00:19.89]High haile selassie
[00:34.35]High
[00:34.62]Haile Selassie
[00:35.46]High high as an osprey
[00:37.26]I'm driving
[00:38.43]Poseidon you tried to stop me from diving
[00:41.97]Lookin' for my

[00:45.81]As I float
[00:47.13]Brand new shelf for my goods
[00:49.38]Tattoos all on my coast
[00:51.87]Throughout history
[00:52.98]It has been the inaction of those who could have acted
[00:55.77]The indifference of those who should have known better
[00:58.50]The silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most
[01:01.65]This has made it possible for evil to triumph
[01:06.30]Selassie
[01:08.58]Man's limitation transfiguration
[01:10.77]I can dance done at the welcome to the demo
[01:12.84]Modern man comes to the weddin' in the limo
[01:15.27]Mixin' doves with the rice rain
[01:16.98]Uncle Ben's off the rails on the night train
[01:19.20]And that storm took us to the platform pushas
[01:21.42]Back to the bachelor's backdoor unhook us
[01:23.37]Hope this track take you back to where the fat girl pushed us
[01:26.70]And that's very old like Blackberry Bold but the juice
[01:29.94]Sweeter than where the party at or
[01:32.10]Releasing these n***as from the rooms and
[01:34.38]Leavin' these n***as on the loose or
[01:36.39]Keepin' these n***as in the coops and
[01:38.61]Leavin' these n***as on the noose free
[01:40.65]Shamu fan got a world to see
[01:43.20]Haile Selassie
[01:44.04]High high as an osprey
[01:45.54]I'm driving
[01:46.95]Poseidon you tried to stop me from diving
[01:50.25]Lookin' for my
[01:51.48]Lookin' for my
[01:52.68]Lookin' for my
[01:54.36]As I float
[01:55.71]Brand new shelf for my goods
[01:57.84]Tattoos all on my coast
[02:00.63]Then until the philosophy which holds one race superior
[02:03.81]And another inferior
[02:05.25]Is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned
[02:08.28]That until there's no longer
[02:09.72]First class and second class citizens of any nation
[02:12.54]Until the color of a man's skin
[02:14.28]Is of no more significant than the color of his eyes
[02:16.74]Haile Selassie
[02:17.46]Yeah to the limit
[02:18.15]The limit in the Methadone clinic
[02:19.83]Ridin' with the pack like a Pelitan
[02:21.42]Flyin' with the sack in the trap like the pregnant
[02:23.94]As it breaks in the backs from the cracks that we step upon
[02:27.09]If I triple my worth will it cripple my mom
[02:29.28]If I simple my search will it mental my calm
[02:31.41]Will it hurt if I give you my palm
[02:33.09]To tell it and don't put a nail in it
[02:34.92]How you gonna see the world if you wailin'
[02:36.96]And readin' my palms like there's braille in it
[02:39.27]Is it the trail or the forest
[02:41.58]Or the forest with the trail in it
[02:43.14]That's a sail with a 12 in it
[02:44.55]Water coming through from impalin' it
[02:46.17]Water can do nothing for me now
[02:47.34]Nothin' left of the boat but my hose
[02:49.23]Still I fill up the world and I float like
[02:51.63]Haile Selassie
[02:52.59]High high as an osprey
[02:54.42]I'm driving
[02:55.59]Poseidon you tried to stop me from diving
[02:58.89]Lookin' for my
[03:00.09]Lookin' for my

[03:02.94]As I float
[03:04.29]Brand new shelf for my goods
[03:06.54]Tattoos all on my coast
[03:08.64]A qualified man with vision
[03:12.42]Unmoved by daily selfish interests
[03:15.18]Led to right decisions by his conscience
[03:17.67]In general a man who knows from whence he comes
[03:20.58]And where he's going
[03:21.69]Will cooperate with his fellow human beings
[03:24.15]He will not be satisfied with merely doing his ordinary duties
[03:27.33]But will inspire others by his good example
[03:29.28]You are being watched by the nation
[03:31.32]And you should realize
[03:32.91]That you will satisfy it if you do good
[03:35.70]But on the contrary you do evil
[03:38.25]It will lose its hope and confidence in you
[03:41.31]Selassie
[03:42.09]H h h how'd you like 'em wide
[03:43.80]On the side of the colonize
[03:45.03]Swimmin' in the street fell asleep on my mama thighs
[03:47.22]Blockin' out the noise that destroys little boys
[03:49.17]Live enjoy ships ahoy get deployed by the rock a byes
[03:51.54]D d d deep into the sea of my dreams
[03:53.58]Lyin' fall asleep at the feet of my queen
[03:55.86]Hawk comin' right to the beat of your wings
[03:57.84]Song for the Ethiopian King Haile
