Lyrics Saul Williams

Saul Williams

Our father

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 only 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

tendency in doing, whether it is cook, sew maybe sit or to

shout and clap our hands and 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.

Proper obstructs about son our daughter following

the instructions of the father, well certainly there is no

inculpation about that, that’s

wonderful “high air” 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 around in

crowed that are fathers who had to be mothers also:

Saul:

Our father which art in St. Francis hospital for hypotension.

Our father which art in jumpsuits and prisons, federal detention.

Our father which art in dark bars and alleys, lethal injections.

Our father which art in denial 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
