00:16:52This is my first interaction with Essence, and I am super pleased and super grateful to be a part of this amazing, amazing platform that's doing so much for people around the world, especially people of color.
00:17:04The song I'm performing today is called Beautiful, and I selected this song because, you know, it's talking to boys and girls, the men and the women, the days, the hers, the hymns, just letting them know that there's something out there calling out to them, and they need to answer that call.
00:17:23There's so much happening in the world today, and I feel like this song is so resonant, and I'm so, so pleased to be able to perform it today. Let's go.
00:17:34Beautiful boy, the stars in your hands, the world at your beck and call, you put on a show, you're no one's rival, you are the shepherd and they are the fool.
00:18:04Where do you go when nobody's home, and who do you call when it gets high?
00:18:14Maybe it's a sign that the stars aren't alight, yeah, there's something in the air that's calling out to you, calling out to you, yeah.
00:18:26Yeah.
00:18:27Yeah.
00:18:28Yeah.
00:18:29Yeah.

00:19:09So when will you reach out, cause candles may burn
00:19:16When will you reap what you have
00:19:19So, maybe it's a sign that you suffer inside
00:19:27There's something in here that's blowing out to you
00:19:34Calling, calling, calling
00:19:49Now this song just says, pray for me and I will pray for you

00:32:32Thank you so much.
00:32:33Hey, my name is Lindok Uushe Kosh Mashega.
00:32:37I'm South African and I'm a word expressionist, but society calls me a poet.
00:32:58The storms of our forefathers' bones will tremble upon every young one of them.
00:33:02Like the footsteps of an injured elephant stuck in your lazy damn pockets.
00:33:09Tsunami will asia its way to your minds and preach death upon your black conscious like the demean out of your politicians' mouths.
00:33:17They will seek your original philosophies.
00:33:50The change whispered fire and the arson of governance bows down to our shade.
00:33:55Light has already been obtained.
00:33:57We are free now.
00:33:59How so weird, old young man who knows not of dog bites and your movement measured by the colour of your skin.
00:34:06The world is your oyster.
00:34:08It is purposely eaten by the hands of the privileged.
00:34:11When lost, you check your worth.
00:34:14Build self-construction and self-identity.
00:34:17What is the struggle of now?
00:34:19They are done with Gweda's generation.
00:34:21If itos could score, fees could fall.
00:34:24Covered in vigo's blood.
00:34:25Where else could we go wrong?
00:34:27Take back your pride.
00:34:28Take back your pride.
00:34:30Build stop nonsensees the size of our incog rights.
00:34:33Live the indisposable promises made on top of dead black people tables.
00:34:38Over voices that were supposed to protect us but now fail to serve us when they see us.
00:34:46They see fading corpses.
00:34:48I will not be sunk as my ancestors long before our arrival.
00:34:54Forgotten manuscripts.
00:34:56As lost diction.
00:34:57Oxford misconstrued Timbuktu.
00:35:01Didn't you remember Mansa?
00:35:05Musa.
00:35:08Wait to metric gold in the mind.
00:35:11The lies that bind our missing chapters.
00:35:14Painted perspectives.
00:35:16Glance to downtrodden sight.
00:35:20Elevate with two steps.
00:35:23Elevate with two steps.
00:35:25Your soul carries more truth than ancient stars.
00:35:32We always remember your elemental form.
00:35:36The cosmos lives within your skin.
00:35:41My head has been up since Malcolm X seized.
00:35:46You're the falseness of our identity to loosen your disrespect.
00:35:47My fate has always been to breathe underwater.
00:35:51Anticipation of breath is odd.
00:35:52Move within the stitches of time.
00:35:56Labor traded as diminished day.
00:35:57Hollow, hollow, hollow points.
00:35:59Light.
00:36:00Lights lives.
00:36:01In our songs.
00:36:02We breathe songs.
00:36:03We breathe songs.
00:36:05Everything.
00:36:06Your disrespect
00:36:08My fate has always been
00:36:11To breathe underwater
00:36:12Anticipation of breath
00:36:14Is odd
00:36:16Move within the stitches of time
00:36:19Labor traded as
00:36:20Diminished day
00:36:22Hollow
00:36:23Hollow
00:36:24Hollow points
00:36:25Lights lives
00:36:27In our songs
00:36:29We breathe songs
00:36:32Everywhere
00:36:33There is an enchantment
00:36:36To our names
00:36:37When
00:36:38When they want to silence us
00:36:41They bend their knees
00:36:44Down our throats
00:36:46Metamorphosis
00:36:48We come back as anything
00:36:51You will not end us
00:36:54That was
00:36:58Black child pride
00:37:00We need to fix that sin
00:37:03Such a sin
00:37:05Being black
00:37:06The next piece is called

00:47:17Today
00:47:17It's not like it was anything new
00:47:21Just another daily dose of
00:47:24Everything we have to go through
00:47:27Trying to keep my head on straight
00:47:30But it's so much harder to do
00:47:34Cause we don't know what to do
00:47:41What's this world coming to?
00:47:49Did you see the crowds today?
00:47:52Feels like everybody's fighting to be heard
00:47:55I just want a better place
00:47:57Getting tired of always feeling unsafe
00:48:00Trying to keep my head on straight
00:48:03But it's so much harder to do
00:48:07Cause we don't know what to do
00:48:15Yeah, what's this world coming to?
00:48:22Do you see a better place?
00:48:25Do you think that we can get a fresh start?
00:48:28Do you ever need a brain?
00:48:31For tomorrow's a brighter day
00:48:34It's hard to keep our heads on straight
00:48:36Cause there's so much more we could lose
00:48:42Cause we don't know what to do
00:48:48Oh, what's this world coming to?
00:48:53I wonder, can we stand together?
00:49:03Can we stand together?
00:49:07I often wonder how we got here
00:49:13I wonder if we can
00:49:18Oh, can we stand together?
00:49:25Can we stand together?
00:49:31I often wonder how we got here
00:49:38I wonder if we can
