Braided Hair 1 Giant Leap (Ft. Neneh Cherry & Speech)

[Pre-Intro Speech]
Yeah? Yo we was talkin earlier and I was -I was tellin' you, I was talkin 'bout life
And I.. I feel like life is really just like braided hair
Cause it's, it's got like twists, y'know, you know about braiding? Heh
Like twists you know, three strands twist together
Ultimately you get to where you gonna get to, y'know

[Intro]
I have to tell everybody about myself

[Verse 1: Speech]
From the same dirt, from the heels of my ancestors
The naked rows and the fields where the pain festered
I wonder where the hole came from
In the deeps of my heart, make me yearn for the drum
It's the same place where the cross is burned
The same place where the loss was earned
It's the place where the floss was yearned
Gold teeth and bling ice on the rings baby sure, yo

[Hook: Neneh Cherry + Speech]
We all got things that hang on our back
Things that make us cool, things that make us whack
Things that make us mad, things we wish we never had... done
But they're just the things that make us real
Not the maps to guide where we go from here
The road twists and braids like hair
Until we all get there
