00:00Hey y'all, I hope y'all enjoyed the first Essence Girls United Summit.
00:04I'm Tina Queen and I'm here to take you to the after party.
00:07In tonight's EF session, we got performances from New York City's Dominique, Llam, and DJ Covey.
00:14Music just ended about mental relief.
00:16It's a movement and it's culture shifting.
00:19This music right here will get you pumped up, excited, and you're feeling.
00:23So get ready for Toby Weigwe.
00:25My name is Toby Weigwe.
00:26This is our very first time ever doing Essence, you know what I'm saying?
00:31Unfortunately for these pandemic circumstances, it's still a wonderful opportunity.
00:35It's a blessing.
00:37And it's also a blessing to be in the midst of a 2020 civil rights movement.
00:44Shout out to everybody that's racist that's getting exposed, you know what I'm saying?
00:47I ain't gonna lie to you.
00:48It's a beautiful time.
00:49No, no, no.
00:49Shout out to all the black people who feel liberated and you feel like you could be your whole black self.
00:54I'm 100% with you.
00:56And we're about to give you some of this black love, even with my white counterpart in the band.
01:00We're gonna give you some black love right now.
01:02Here we go.
01:02Let's get it.
01:08Talk to them.

03:35They stole them
03:36Yeah

06:38I ain't gonna lie to you
06:40That was fire
06:42Yeah, so we just gonna do
06:44I ain't got no intro, we just gonna get right into
06:46Why the cage bird sings, we had to learn it
06:48Let's go
06:50Yeah
06:54Southwest Houston, Texas, let's go
06:58Where you come from
07:00Yeah
07:02Where most don't play free
07:08Look, I spit a verse
07:10So a horde of heathens can find the light
07:12But keep a pistol that tear tissue like it's time to wipe
07:14Don't fret, my first step ain't to resign your life
07:16Plus that pistol fire don't bark until it's time to bite
07:18Don't bark until it's time to bite
07:20And once you find a wife you do what you must do
07:22To protect her and keep her up off a stretcher till she do
07:24To have a baby glad a lady came up to me and said
07:26Congratulations don't come to those rather lazy instead of hard working
07:30We are searching for affirmation
07:32Some sheep will wander the atlas for validation
07:34And valid statements from those who never will validate them
07:36I pray I navigate them to a fortress
07:38We're congregating what angels is the norm
07:40You pray and they perform
07:42Immaculate miracles to help you evade the swarm
07:44Of vipers, snipers, and every wicked form
07:46Of evil that's been trying to deceive you
07:48Since you was born with your heavens and melanin
07:50Don't let them convince you that your etiquette's a speech impediment
07:53I'm in my element and feel benevolent
07:55Even when I'm you there's an elephant in every residence I'm stepping in
07:58But hell I ain't trippin'
08:00Ava ain't shaman, float nuts, macadamia
08:02I'm from the city of purple spittin' vibranium
08:04Get it in your cranium
08:06Can't nobody send but him
08:07And if I ever go down it'll be swingin' like pendulums, ooh
08:12I said if I ever go down it'll be swingin' like pendulums, sing
08:15We come from where most don't break free
08:20We had to learn why cage birds sing
08:25But we fly
08:27Even though they poison the sky
08:30We don't cry
08:32We gon' take our piece of the pie
08:35So I'ma need my bread hot, fresh, and ready
08:37For those who try to keep me on ice like a Yeti
08:40The West be where they press me to a diamond
08:43That's why I throw it up like the Heimlich
08:45I'm just maneuvering on the surface
08:47That's where I tread on the scrolls of my enemies
08:50And I'm quadrupling anything that I touch
08:53If it's milk and honey, tell me I'm the honeybee
08:55Bussin'
08:56You can see the pure pollination
08:57Need Gs like Mace's and the Haven
09:00For these beats I freak on a daily
09:02I loosely puttin' feet to the pavement and grindin'
09:06Like a power tool or axe
09:07Refinin' everything I do on wax
09:10My time is here and I refuse to lack
09:12To shine which only a diamond can match
09:15Bling Bling
09:16Oh, Essence Festival
09:18Now if you wouldn't mind singin' with us real quick
09:21We come from where most don't break free
09:25We had to learn why caged birds sing
09:30But we fly
09:32Even though they poison the sky
09:35We don't cry
09:37We gon' take our piece of the pie
09:40We come from where most don't break free
09:42Talk to em' Luke
09:43Talk to em' Luke

09:46We had to learn why caged birds sing
09:51But we fly
