1
[Jim Valvano speech at the 1993 ESPY Awards:]
2
Time, time is very precious to me. I don't know how much I have left and I have some things I would like to say.
3
Hopefully at the end I'll have something that will be important to other people too.
4
[Geologic:]
5
Stand up, sit down, stand up again
6
Morse Code sent to God, are you listening?
7
He must have been too busy fixing other shit
8
No call, no response shows the opposite
9
We confess to the man who was faceless
10
I still do the same but to thousands of strangers
11
Went through some changes, some said I'm faithless
12
'Cause I replaced the altar with a basement
13
I often fought the explanation of where people go when their bodies let go of the soul
14
Does it just turn cold?
15
Or do we get judged and told where to go?
16
And if so, how the fuck would you know if nobody came back and said I'm telling you, bro?
17
I could never get past the shit that was spit out the pastor's lips
18
And the rapper's started making more sense
19
I guess that's the reason that some people cringe when they kids get a hold of my shit
20
If the grip of a God is insistent on not questioning if he truly exists
21
No wonder that I got caught up in the music it filled my spirit to the brim, amen
22
Motha fucker
23
[Macklemore:]
24
This is my offering card
25
The only thing I have to offer is bars
26
The only time I felt like I was talking to God
27
Was in my Walkman walking with Nas
28
Alright see I be going to Sunday school every week
29
In the back trying to read, but see that something was off
30
Maybe it was 'cause I was trying to huddle in the yard
31
Preacher didn't connect when he would mumble the Psalms
32
I was in my head and I was bustin' with Pac
33
Takin' off my wifebeater and getting drunk in the park
34
After that part, I found God, it wasn't Jesus
35
Some psilocybin and the ink released him
36
I began to hold communion every time my music came out the speakers I used it
37
And it fuled my movement I believed in, voice of reason, just me and my Adidas
38
And I could achieve it, I put my hand over my heart, pledge allegiance
39
I solemnly swear by the faith that raised my since Kool Herc dropped the needle
40
The South Bronx, that's hip-hop's Egypt
41
The word of our God is manipulated and twisted by the same system
42
That is infiltrated and falsely interpreted Jesus
43
One life, one love, one God, It's us, treated your neighbor how you would want to be treated
44
The universal laws of God, don't look too far it's right here, us human beings
45
The spirits right here and I don't have to see it
46
Now every time I want to connect with God I put my headphones on
47
Then I nod, grab my pen, my pad, let it seep in, in
48
And that's my process
49
And God's always watching
50
Got God in my Walkman
51
Go ahead and top that
