Innocence - Saul Williams[00:00:00]
You could be the president and pop that[00:00:25]
Pop that[00:00:30]
Enter the establihment and warn that[00:00:31]
Warn that[00:00:36]
Take that give it up[00:00:39]
Take that give it up[00:00:42]
Take that give it up[00:00:45]
I was a young boy[00:00:50]
From the suburbs[00:00:53]
Playing with gun toys[00:00:56]
In an old church[00:01:00]
Question how I learned to see[00:01:03]
Angels in the skies[00:01:09]
Was it the calm voice[00:01:14]
From the outskirts[00:01:17]
Was it the clear voice[00:01:20]
Through the whispers[00:01:23]
Contemplative misery[00:01:27]
Angelic demise[00:01:33]
You could be the president[00:01:37]
Now pop that pop that[00:01:40]
Enter the establihment to warn that[00:01:43]
Warn that[00:01:48]
Take that give it up[00:01:51]
Take that give it up[00:01:54]
Take that give it up[00:01:57]
Take that give it up[00:02:00]
It was a young day[00:02:02]
In an old world[00:02:05]
Digital Pompeii[00:02:08]
And I am a squeen girl[00:02:11]
Question how I learned to see[00:02:15]
Beyond the disguise[00:02:21]
You could be the president[00:02:25]
Now pop that pop that[00:02:28]
Enter the establihment to warn that[00:02:31]
Warn that[00:02:36]
Take that give it up[00:02:39]
Take that give it up[00:02:42]
Take that give it up[00:02:45]
Take that give it up[00:02:48]
You could be the president and pop that[00:02:50]
Pop that[00:02:54]
Enter the establihment and warn that[00:02:55]
Warn that[00:03:00]
Take that give it up[00:03:03]
Take that give it up[00:03:06]
Take that give it up[00:03:09]
Take that give it up[00:03:12]
Take that give it up[00:03:13]
Presidential presidential[00:03:26]
Let's make this day complete[00:03:28]
I rose to find the setting sun beneath my feet[00:03:30]
And as I stepped beyond that stone and[00:03:34]
It stayed in its place[00:03:36]
I felt a new warmth taking shape from[00:03:38]
Deep in hidden space[00:03:40]
I do not breathe the same[00:03:42]
My chest is a cathedral[00:03:43]
My ribcage frames stained glass[00:03:46]
The story on each panel says[00:03:48]
New suns are rising fast[00:03:50]
And my means have more precision and[00:03:51]
My needs are fueled by waste[00:03:53]
And I'm channeling an alchemy that[00:03:55]
Smells just like it tastes[00:03:57]
And the depths that I am reaching are the heights[00:03:59]
That I've foreseen[00:04:00]
And the people give to nature[00:04:02]
What was taken from the seed[00:04:03]
And the children slowly gathered[00:04:05]
None of them had ever seen[00:04:06]
None of them haved dared imagine[00:04:08]
How their lives look from a dream[00:04:09]
There's no other way around this[00:04:12]
It's internal buried deep[00:04:13]
Beneath labyrinthine thought tunnels[00:04:15]
Where the questions pile in heaps[00:04:16]
Heaped upon that is a mystery[00:04:18]
Heaped upon that is a plan[00:04:20]
Heaped upon that[00:04:22]
The simplicity of a river through the land[00:04:22]
And the cows around that river[00:04:25]
Do not graze into the sea[00:04:26]
They are inland bred and treasured[00:04:28]
Through their own complicity[00:04:30]
And the answers are apparent[00:04:31]
Difference is all the same[00:04:33]
I'm a whale of deepest regions[00:04:35]
Where the ocean floor's aflame[00:04:36]
And the source of this great fire is internal[00:04:38]
Buried deep[00:04:40]
The blood of stars configure in volcanic memory[00:04:41]
They push beyond the surface[00:04:44]
They push upward and out[00:04:46]
From the depths of our great sorrows[00:04:47]
To the pucker of a mouth[00:04:49]
Kiss kiss kiss[00:04:50]
Another century[00:04:51]
Kiss kiss kiss[00:04:52]
Another year[00:04:53]
Kiss kiss kiss[00:04:53]
Another speech[00:04:54]
He's kissed kissed kissed[00:04:55]
To disappear[00:04:56]
And we've kissed across a threshold[00:04:57]
To our present state of mind[00:04:58]
Where our feelings fry from memories[00:05:00]
That rest behind the eye[00:05:02]
And our dreams are deep polluted[00:05:03]
By such tragedies of wealth[00:05:05]
And the fish forget they're swimming and[00:05:07]
Their fins morph into tails[00:05:08]
And the truth like evolution is evolving as it fails[00:05:10]
To keep up with the demands of[00:05:13]
This modern space and sea[00:05:15]
And the skyline of this city are the wills[00:05:16]
We used to be[00:05:19]
And I feel these kids around me as[00:05:20]
I'm perched on sandy shore[00:05:21]
And they're touching me and asking me if[00:05:23]
I'd like some water or if I'm already dead[00:05:25]
So I open up my eye and[00:05:27]
I'm staring through an arid wind at a[00:05:29]
White whale's in the sky[00:05:31]
And I notice how they are floating and[00:05:33]
I wonder if they see[00:05:35]
Distant cousins in the world beneath[00:05:36]
Where skies are very deep[00:05:38]
