00:00Hello, I'm Rafael Sadiq, and I'm here to sing two songs today, and everybody in the world
00:08has gone through so much, and I just want to say, choose a way to raise your voice.
00:12Raise your voice and say something that you think that needs to be said to the world today.
00:17And I want to thank Essence, the culture of Essence, and also the Essence Festival for
00:22calling me to do this, and I'm going to sing a couple songs, acapella.
00:25I was going to play guitar, but that didn't work out, so this is what I'm going to do
00:32right now.
00:32This world, this song is called This World is Drunk, and the People are Mad.
00:37It's from my last album, titled Jimmy Lee, and I think it's appropriate today.
00:44It's called This World is Drunk, so just, you know, listen.
00:48This world is drunk, and the people are mad.
00:52This world is drunk, and the people are mad.
01:00He's always in three places, spaces undefined.
01:09Heart is always racing for something he can never find.
01:17His eyes are black, black and cold.
01:27His soul has been shaken, so shaken.
01:32I believe he knows the sun can never reach him.
01:39The view looks like a bomb.
01:45The paradox is far away.
01:49His brain weighs at least a ton.
01:54His mind is so stressed out,
01:57trying to be a king.
01:59Trying to be a king.
02:03When everyone around him
02:06sees a clown and
02:08they're laughing at him.
02:13Look at this idiot.
02:17Don't know he's been set up to fall.
02:20Can't find the truth in any friend.
02:26So all he ever does is stay drunk.
02:29This world is drunk, and the people are mad.
02:33Yeah.
02:34This world is drunk, and the people are mad.
02:38This world is drunk.
02:40Ooh, this world is drunken.
02:43This world is drunk, and the people are mad.
02:47He doesn't care to listen.
02:54Not even to himself.
02:59He's been four years away.
03:02Was led astray.
03:05Convicted for fraud.
03:08He says he knows better now.
03:13He says he needs that family life.
03:17He can tell he wasted much time.
03:21Winter time has taken his life.
03:27And making him miserable.
03:31He never feels he's in control.
03:36He finds it hard to walk away.
03:39So all he ever does is stay drunk.
03:45The people are mad.
03:48Yeah.
03:49This world is drunk, and the people are mad.
03:53This world is drunk.
03:55Ooh, this world is drunken.
03:58This world is drunk, and the people are mad.
04:02So mad.
04:02This world is drunk, and the people are mad.
04:06So mad.
04:08This world is drunk, and the people are mad.
04:11This world is drunk
04:14Ooh, this world is drunk
04:17And this world is drunk
04:19And the people are mad
