00:01You
00:21And how does one describe being Prince of Wales?
00:30I mean, it's hardly a job, still less a vocation, it's simply a predicament.
00:39The previous princes of Wales have been happy to have misspinned their lives in idle dissipation,
00:43but my problem is I can't bear idles or dissipation.
00:49Every day I meet people from all walks of life,
00:53ministers, scientists, entrepreneurs, men and women my age,
00:57who have gone out into the world and made their mark.
01:03It's precisely the thing that I'm not allowed to do.
01:12In any other professional sphere, I'd be at the peak of my powers.
01:17Instead, what am I? I'm just a useless ornament, stuck in a waiting room, gathering dust.
01:33There I go again. Always a little wine with my cheese.
01:38No, it just feels so good to tell it as it is to close friends.
01:42We understand. You're a criminally wasted resource, sir.
01:47Just look at the extraordinary work you do with the Prince's Trust.
01:50Turning young lives around, giving out thousands of grants a year.
01:55Twenty thousand, to be precise.
01:57Our latest initiative is this funding of evening centres up and down the country
02:02where children from crowded and low-income households can come and do their homework.
02:08What a wonderful idea. Doesn't sound like an ornament gathering dust to me.
02:14Thank you, Nancy.
02:15Now, the day's work is still not done, so will you excuse me?
02:21Good night. Good night, sir.
02:23Good night.
02:24Good night.
02:53Good night.
02:53Good night.

04:14back soon though my darling are you still making the speech in oxford tomorrow yes that's the reason
04:21i called actually could you bear to quickly listen to it is it very long only we're a full house
04:26no no
04:27short and punchy and a bit controversial which is why i want your opinion you always know best when
04:34to reign me in all right remind me of the subject the teaching of english language in schools
04:44it is quite astounding to think that in england we have produced one of the world's most beautiful
04:50languages however the rate at which that language is degenerating has become a cause for concern
04:57it's a tragedy for the next generation that in the birthplace of the language of keats
05:02of shelley of shakespeare efforts to preserve that language and uphold the standards of its teaching
05:08are no longer a priority if we look at the way english is used in business in the popular press
05:14of course or on television programs or indeed in our schools universities and institutions
05:20you'll see just how you're talking about
05:31what's the address
05:35first drive first drive
05:37and what town are you in
05:38a chapter
05:39the emergency is telling me exactly what's happened
06:09I'm catching the fish, he's lost it.
06:10The thing's in here, it's our place.
06:12Sir, sir, can you calm down and tell me exactly what...
06:15You'll see just how impoverished our great mother tongue as you come.
06:20Everything happens at the end of the day, and every situation is a win-win.
06:26As Prince of Wales, I won't be thanked for saying this, but...
06:31The rot begins in the very institutions whose duty it is to preserve our proud linguistic and cultural heritage.
06:39If we want to produce the next generation of great writers, we must use our education system to protect what
06:46is surely our greatest national export, the English language.
06:51Which, like any language, is so much more than a collection of words.
06:56It's a means of building bridges between people of different backgrounds, cultures, and generations.
07:05What do you think?
07:06I think it's brilliant.
07:09I mean, you could go further.
07:10Our language is like an endangered species that needs to be protected.
07:14It's a scandal the way we're letting it be slaughtered.
07:17Oh, I quite agree.
07:19I read it to my private secretary, so I might have gone too far.
07:22I suppose it might be better to leave the audience wanting more.
07:26Yes.
07:28I suppose one has to be aware of it in the room.
07:32Just feel one's way along with it, if you know what I mean.
07:36Mmm.
07:38You're awfully good at feeling your way along.
07:42Stop it.
07:46It's too dangerous.
07:48If we run this, we'd risk being responsible for breaking up a royal marriage.
07:55But, uh, I don't want our friend crossing the street and selling it to anyone else, either.
08:03So pay him what he wants.
08:05Keep the tape, put it in the safe, and hope for another day.
08:12Keep the tape, put it in the safe, and hope for another day.
08:36Oh, my God.
08:40Bye.
08:46Bye.
08:47Bye.
08:53Bye.
08:56Bye.
08:57Bye.
08:57Bye.
09:01Bye.
10:11You are both resolved on this.
10:14No doubts, no hesitancy.
10:19This is really what you want.
10:47Very well.
13:12When a vessel is in rough seas,
13:15it's sometimes necessary to alter her course.
13:19That's why we're all here today.
13:23Now, this particular expedition
13:26is the brainchild of the Lord Chamberlain.
13:28David, did you want to say a few words?
13:31Thank you, sir.
13:34I think we can all agree the last few years
13:37have been particularly challenging for the monarchy.
13:40The fire at Windsor Castle,
13:43the failure of several royal marriages,
13:47questions being raised as to the family's value for money,
13:51its relevance...
13:52Yes, all right.
13:53No need to go over it all again.
13:57And so, in consultation with Her Majesty the Queen
14:00and His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh,
14:02we've decided to set up an informal council of war,
14:06a task force to safeguard the monarchy's survival
14:10in a rapidly changing world.
14:12And since the idea is to find new directions for a way forward...
14:17Ahead.
14:19Ahead.
14:21Ahead, David.
14:23Way ahead.
14:27We would call it the Way Ahead Group.
14:31I suppose I should be grateful.
14:34I've been preaching the gospel of change for...
14:37I don't know how long, after 25 years, they finally agree.
14:41And what did they come up with?
14:43Are we ready for this?
14:45Allowing the public into the royal box of the Albert Hall from time to time.
14:49Mm-hmm.
14:49Radical.
14:50Making the requirement to bow or curtsy to some members of the royal family optional.
14:55Giving the royal air force central band a more enhanced role in the changing of the guard ceremony at the
15:01palace.
15:01And that's progressive because...
15:03They have some women members within their ranks.
15:05Vive la revolution!
15:07Quite.
15:08Meanwhile, nothing on constitutional reform.
15:10Nothing on the monarch being both head of state and supreme governor of the Church of England.
15:15How on earth to square that with a country that's supposed to be a modern democracy?
15:18I told them, you should be thinking of something much more radical.
15:22You talk of cost-cutting measures and reform of the civilists.
15:27I say, why not abolish it altogether?
15:29Have the monarchy fund itself.
15:32You talk about including more women in the pomp and pageantry.
15:35But why not something more far-reaching than that?
15:38Ending the bar on the eldest daughters inheriting the throne.
15:42The problem with the ideas that you've presented today is that they don't reflect a modern Britain.
15:47What it looks like, what it feels like, what its concerns are.
15:51Education, the threat to the environment, better opportunities for disadvantaged youth.
15:55Things I've been campaigning on for years.
15:58I'm afraid I did get rather carried away.
16:01Even dared bring up our great leader to her face.
16:05God.
16:06We all saw the unfortunate poll recently about Queen Victoria Syndrome and how many people
16:13find the crown remote and out of touch.
16:16You claim to want to refresh the monarchy.
16:19Well, what I'm proposing is precisely that.
16:21A new welfare monarchy that's less about mystery and magic and divine right and more about our
16:30practical role in today's society.
16:41And what if being informed and what if being informed and what if being informed and in touch is what
16:46people want from their sovereign?
16:59I just think while we're setting up committees or task forces hoping to find ways forward, it might be useful
17:09to acknowledge that the solution we are looking for could be right under our noses.
17:18Please.
17:25Please.
17:31Please.
17:32Please.
17:35Please.
17:39Please.
17:41Please.
17:43Please.
17:44Please.
17:45Please.
17:45Please.
17:46Please.
17:46Please.
17:48Please.
17:48Please.
17:49Yep.
17:54Yep.
17:58Checked already?
18:00Right.
18:20What's that?
18:24Yes, sir.
18:26Yes, sir.
18:44The recording was made by an amateur radio enthusiast.
18:49Having correctly identified your voices, he then sold it to the Daily Mirror.
18:54At the time, the newspaper decided not to go ahead.
18:56Because of the potential damage it might do to the royal marriage.
19:01But now that you and the Princess of Wales have officially separated,
19:04the newspaper feels at liberty to publish.
19:08And I think we must brace ourselves for the transcripts
19:12to be published in the UK in the coming days.
19:17How can they get away with this?
19:22It's a private conversation.
19:25Private matter between two adults.
19:27No one else's business.
19:29Unfortunately, sir, while the intentional interception of private phone calls is illegal,
19:34the amateur radio operator in this case claims to have stumbled upon the conversation by chance,
19:40which could be difficult to disapprove.
19:43I don't even remember the conversation.
19:47Have we discovered what was actually said?
19:51No details yet, but we're told it was intimate.
19:58Very intimate.
20:04What do you think?
20:06I think it's brilliant.
20:08I think you could go further.
20:11Our language is like an endangered species.
20:13It needs to be protected.
20:15It's a scandal the way we're letting it be slaughtered.
20:17Oh, I quite agree.
20:19I really might cry with the secretary.
20:21He thinks I might have gone too far.
20:24I suppose it might be better to leave the audience wanting more.
20:30Yes.
20:32I suppose one has to be aware of it in the room.
20:35Just feel one's way along with it, if you know what I mean.
20:40Mmm.
20:42You're awfully good at feeling your way along.
20:45Stop it.
20:51God, I want to feel my way along you.
20:54All over you.
20:55Up and down you.
20:57In and out.
20:58Particularly in and out.
21:01That's just what I need at the moment.
21:03Is it?
21:05I know it would revive me.
21:08But I can't bear a Sunday night without you.
21:12God.
21:13It's like that program Start the Week.
21:16I can't start the week without you.
21:19I fill up your tank.
21:20Yes, you do.
21:22So you can cope.
21:23Then I'm all right.
21:26What about me?
21:29The trouble is I need you several times a week.
21:33So do I.
21:35I need you all the week.
21:37I need you all the time.
21:41Oh, darling, I just want you now.
21:44Do you?
21:46Mmm.
21:47So do I.
21:48Desperately. Desperately.
21:50God, I wish I could just...
21:53live inside your trousers or something so much easier.
21:57What are you going to turn into?
21:58A pair of knickers?
22:00Oh, God forbid.
22:01A tampax of just my luck.
22:05A complete idiot.
22:08What a wonderful idea.
22:10My luck to get chucked down the lavatrians.
22:13Keep on going on and on forever.
22:15Swirling around on top, never going down.
22:17Oh, darling.
22:19Till the next one comes through.
22:21Perhaps you could just come back as a box.
22:24What sort of box?
22:26A box of Tampax.
22:28You could just keep going.
22:30That's true.
22:36Have you gone to sleep?
22:38Now I'm here.
22:41Will you ring me when you wake up?
22:44Fine night, my darling. I do love you.
22:48Love you, too.
22:52Don't want to say goodbye.
22:54Neither do I.
22:58But you must get some sleep.
23:03Bye, darling.
23:06Bye.
23:07Bye.
23:08Bye.
23:10Press the button.
23:12I'm going to press the tit.
23:14Darling, I wish you were pressing mine.
23:16Oh, God.
23:18So do I.
23:20Harder and harder.
23:22Oh, darling.
23:27Night.
23:30Night.
23:31Love you.
23:33I adore you.
23:37Night.
23:38Night.
24:14There's uproar in Britain over the publication of the so-called Camillagate tapes.
24:18The phone call allegedly between Prince Charles and a close female friend was taped three years ago.
24:23He will not come back from this. The tapes are filthy.
24:26It's raised doubts over whether the Prince of Wales could ever be king.
24:30Yet another royal scandal making headlines.
24:32Yet another bitter blow to a monarchy and crisis.
24:36Sally Hinkman, NBC News, London.
24:44Here, I bought you some weapons-grade entirely chemical cold medication.
24:52I know you're probably taking some sort of root or herb.
24:57Garlic, ginger, and elderberry.
24:59Hmm.
25:00Well, I thought I'd bring you something that actually works.
25:06Poor you.
25:11It's an assassination.
25:15Complete decimation of my character and everything I've worked so hard for.
25:22It's no secret, I think, over the years you've brought a great many of your problems upon yourself.
25:29But no one deserves this.
25:38It's the hypocrisy that gets me.
25:41It's as if none of these journalists have ever spoken to a lover over the phone.
25:44They've said embarrassing things.
25:47It was all a bit embarrassing, wasn't it?
25:50Hmm.
25:51It was a little gynecological in my taste.
25:57Well.
25:58I've also taken my head out of my hands and my fingers out of my throat.
26:02God.
26:03It was a surprising residue left.
26:07Of being touched by...
26:10Two teenagers of a certain age being...
26:13So gloriously human and...
26:17Entirely in love.
26:23For that alone you deserve some credit.
26:27In this family especially.
26:30You are sweet.
26:32Hmm.
26:34I doubt our dear Papa will see it that way.
26:45All right.
26:49I'll speak to you tomorrow.
26:52Whatever.
26:58If I weren't so ashamed I might confess of admiration of the sheer scale of your achievement.
27:04In one fell swoop you've succeeded in alienating the church over your moral fitness.
27:10The politicians over your conduct unbecoming.
27:13The House of Commons is in uproar.
27:15They're saying we've pressed the self-destruct button.
27:22Among your many entirely unjustified military honours...
27:27Is Colonel-in-Chief of the Royal Regiment of Wales.
27:31I wonder if you might remind us of their motto.
27:39In English.
27:43Better death than dishonour.
27:45What's that? Speak up!
27:45Better death than dishonour.
27:49A sentiment on which you would do well to reflect.
28:01Are you still here?
28:20I'm so painful.
28:23And so public.
28:26So unnecessary too.
28:29Everyone in HQ is frightened, my dear father included.
28:33They don't care for me.
28:34I don't know how the world has changed.
28:35Everyone's just blaming everyone else.
28:38That's no excuse for gratuitous, sadistic exhibitionism.
28:42Sounds like playground bullying.
28:46The way the sycophants all nodded.
28:50Grateful that his invective wasn't directed at them for once.
28:55It leaves me no choice but to...
29:02To protect yourself.
29:07To...
29:07Look after yourself.
29:14Yes.
29:23Historians will not be able to pinpoint a moment when the breakaway happened because nothing official has happened.
29:28But a change is happening.
29:30I ask if you look around you.
29:32What do you see?
29:32Not old stuffy courtiers, but young professional men and women of today.
29:38The way ahead group, or the lagging behind group as I like to call them,
29:43was set up to prepare the monarchy for the coming millennium.
29:46But it seems to me they hold some confusion as to which millennium we're actually in.
29:50I think as a guiding principle, if we're interested in saving the monarchy,
29:53we should do the exact opposite of what the way head group recommends.
29:57I think we all agree, and polls certainly show that the monarchy is in a rut.
30:00A dangerous rut.
30:02It's vital that people are given a reason to believe in and be excited about the future.
30:07And if one asks oneself what the future of the monarchy is, then the answer is...
30:10is you, sir.
30:12But right now the problem is, no one knows you.
30:15They don't know who you really are, or what you think, or feel.
30:18I quite agree.
30:20Well, what should we do about that?
30:23Well, one thought that we had was that, um,
30:27perhaps a mature, progressive, open television special would be a way to go,
30:32where the Prince of Wales is finally given the opportunity to freely air his voice.
30:38Alongside an expansive and wide-ranging interview,
30:41we could grant cameras, unprecedented access to a future king at work,
30:45an intimate and authoritative profile of an enlightened, thoughtful, forward-thinking man
30:53who has been Prince of Wales for a quarter of a century,
30:56and a chance for him to lay out his vision for a modern monarchy, a modern Britain.
31:01Who are you thinking of as the interviewer?
31:04Well, there are a number of candidates, but the name we're most excited about is...
31:08is Jonathan Dimbleby.
31:12He's serious, he's forthright, he's independent-minded.
31:19People will know that it's not puffery or chocolate-box royalism with Dimbleby.
31:25There is an element of risk.
31:29He's bound to ask about the marriage at some point.
31:33But, in our view, there's... there's a far greater prospect of reward.
31:44It's taking your time.
31:48Just for your set?
31:49Ready to go.
31:49Good.
31:50Right. This is it.
31:54You're told.
31:55How are you?
31:56Sir.
31:57Where do you want me?
31:58What's this again?
32:00Please, please.
32:00Right, please.
32:05Five, four, three...
32:10Your Royal Highness, it's... it's fair to say that in recent years the royal family has been plagued by a
32:17certain amount of adversity.
32:19Do you think, with all these setbacks, to your family and to you personally, that the monarchy can still survive?
32:30Well, more than that, I hope it can... can flourish.
32:35But to do so, it needs to adapt.
32:38It's no secret that I'm open to the idea of reform.
32:42I think that we're at a make-or-break time for the monarchy, and we need to be radical.
32:48But, of course, there's only so much that I can do as Prince of Wales.
32:53As king, you will also find yourself at the head of an established church.
32:57In the past, you have shown an interest in other faiths.
33:00How does that sit with a future role as supreme governor of the Church of England, defender of the faith?
33:08Well, of course, I prefer to think of myself not as defender of just one faith, the Church of England,
33:14but as defender of faith in general.
33:18Why should the Church of England have a monopoly on the crown?
33:22What about the Jews and Catholics and Sikhs and Muslims and Hindus?
33:26Are they not its subjects as well?
33:28There is, of course, one question above all that burns in the public's mind, and that relates to your marriage
33:35to the Princess of Wales.
33:37One of the most serious allegations concerning your marriage is that you were repeatedly unfaithful,
33:43and that your close association with Camilla Parker Bowles was a deciding factor in its collapse.
33:50How do you answer that?
33:55Mrs. Parker Bowles is a dear friend of mine, a wonderful friend that I'm jolly lucky to have.
34:04And even within a marriage, one must still nurture outside friendships.
34:10And Mrs. Parker Bowles is just one of a number of friends that I've been close to over the years.
34:20When you married your wife, you made a pledge before God to uphold your wedding vows.
34:27Did you at least try to be faithful from the start?
34:30Of course.
34:31And were you?
34:32Yes.
34:38Until...
34:45Until it became obvious that the marriage couldn't be saved, both of us having done our best.
34:59At which point I...
35:03...tried to do my duty.
35:07But there was, er...
35:10There was nothing to be done.
35:15So, yes, er...
35:20Old friendships were rekindled.
35:26You've been very forthright in your response.
35:30Very honest.
35:31Is it your hope that this issue will now go away?
35:36Well, I'd certainly prefer it.
35:40It typically stems, I think, from when...
35:44When we in the monarchy set ourselves up as a sort of ideal.
35:48As husbands, or as wives, or as...
35:51As parents.
35:54And very often the truth is very far from that.
35:57The question people have to ask themselves is what do they want in their leaders?
36:03Do they want someone who errs, but who learns from their mistakes?
36:07Who grows?
36:08Who...
36:09Who recognizes the need for change?
36:12Who has a vision?
36:14Or someone who is content to continue making the same mistakes?
36:20And to keep things as they are.
36:25Really, I think that's the clear choice that, er...
36:29That people are faced with.
36:32This desire for progression extends to many aspects of your works, Prince of Wales.
36:43Prince Charles bared his soul to the nation last night in a television documentary designed to showcase his work as
36:49Prince of Wales.
36:50And he appeared to have no regrets as he greeted onlookers today during his first public appearance since the programme
36:57aired.
37:00His aides were letting it be known they've been delighted with the response to his controversial television profile.
37:06Palace officials said they'd been deluged with calls of support.
37:10The programme contained a number of intimate revelations, including the Prince's close friendship with Mrs. Camilla Parker Bowles.
37:18The admission divided viewers between those who felt it was a refreshing attempt to clear the air,
37:23and those who felt the Prince had made an error of judgment.
37:27There was no comment from Kensington Palace, but the Princess of Wales upstaged her husband by attending the Serpentine Gallery's
37:35annual summer party this evening,
37:37putting on a defiant display in what many are already calling her revenge dress.
37:50The Prince and Princess remain focused on their public roles, but there is little doubt that the War of the
37:58Waleses has entered a new and more volatile phase.
38:01Radio news, Mr. Royce comes again...
38:12Camilla, Camilla!
38:14And please have never followed by James.
38:17What do you say tonight, Camilla?
38:19Come on, come on, come on, come on.
38:49The reaction to the interview is divided between those that feel the prince has shown himself unfit to be king,
38:55and should have had the good grace to stay silent, and those that have been pleasantly surprised by what they
39:07saw and heard.
39:10Interestingly, it was his desire to be defender of faith in general to Jews, Muslims, Catholics, Sikhs, Hindus, rather than
39:22defender of the faith that has won most favor.
39:26His words having undeniably connected with whole constituencies that are traditionally left unreached by the monarch.
39:35It is not a monarch's role to campaign or chase constituencies like a politician because the crown itself is a
39:41unifying symbol.
39:43It binds together a kingdom of four nations and a worldwide multiracial commonwealth, symbolically.
39:52Charles is frustrated because the crown has many of the functions of an inanimate object.
39:59He prefers to be animate.
40:01But there's a danger in that.
40:04One can end up undoing more than doing.
40:07One can end up undoing more than doing.
40:33One can end up undoing more than doing.
40:37surprised you do why it's delicious what's all this I hear about a book the
40:48ideas to a book following on from the interview taking some of the points
40:52further why because a lot of the really important things I wanted to say about
40:59education and environment and architecture got drowned out by all the
41:03who are about adultery also people are interested maybe not as interested as
41:10you think maybe more interested than you think my post bag is anything to go by
41:26in the 18th century was considered perfectly normal for Prince of Wales to
41:29set-up shop at Leicester house to generate fresh ideas shadow monarchy lessons a
41:36rival court but this is not the 18th century and creating rival courts is not
41:43what we do in this family we close ranks behind the sovereign not to criticize her
41:51we're all after the same thing
42:01you sure you want to have some of this asparagus it's fresh from the garden
42:22good night
42:38for years I've doubted Charles
42:44he wasn't strong enough
42:50tough enough
42:52but look what he's just come through
42:55first that phone recording subsequent humiliation
42:59then that interview and subsequent criticism
43:03it hasn't broken him
43:05the opposite
43:07he might be as mad as everyone thinks
43:09but he's not as weak as everyone thinks
43:15Charles I saw today was strong
43:18confident
43:20mature
43:23not only does he have what it takes for the job
43:25in some ways he's already begun
43:28what do you mean?
43:30for the past year
43:31possibly more
43:34Charles has been slowly but surely setting up his own court
43:37at St. James's
43:40his own
43:42Camelot
43:43his own advisors
43:44his own
43:46modern
43:47progressive agenda
43:51he knows one day he will be King Charles III
43:55and if we want to know what that will look and feel like
44:00well he's starting to show us
44:17the whole point of the Prince's Trust
44:20is to equip young people like you
44:22with the skills
44:23and the confidence
44:25to fulfill your dreams and ambitions
44:30now you may think that someone of my age and background
44:33wouldn't understand young people in your communities
44:36and the unfair judgment of society that you sometimes face
44:42well
44:43as it happens
44:44I do understand a little bit about
44:47what it is to be criticized
44:49and judged
44:51and I also know
44:53that those judgments are mostly not true
44:57that people out there
44:59have no idea who I really am
45:04I'm sure that each of you
45:07has something within you
45:10an unacknowledged greatness
45:13a talent
45:14that deserves to be recognized
45:18and that's what the Prince's Trust is all about
45:21to give you the confidence to believe in your ideas
45:25and the money to bring them to fruition
45:30I want to reach those that have been overlooked
45:33rejected
45:35to make sure
45:36that you've been given a chance
45:40because it's only when we risk reaching too far
45:44that we find out
45:45how far
45:47it's possible to go
45:50thank you
46:14don't sweat the technique
46:20don't sweat the technique
46:33let's trace the hits
46:35and check the file
46:36let's see who fit the dot
46:37check the style
46:38I flip the script
46:39so they can't get filed
46:40at least not now
46:41it'll take a while
46:42I change the pace
46:44to complete the beat
46:45I drop the bass
46:46two MCs get weak
46:47but every row they trace
46:48is a scar they keep
46:49it's when I speak
46:50they freak to sweat the technique
46:52I made my debut in 86
46:55with a melody in a president's mix
46:57and I would stay on target
46:58and reduce the mess
47:00and I still make hits for beats
47:02parties, clubs, instantars, and jeeps
47:04my underground sound
47:05I race the streets
47:06MCs want to beef
47:07then I play for keeps
47:08when they sweat the technique
47:18don't sweat the technique
47:28they want to know
47:29how many times
47:30have I ripped the wreck
47:30but researchers
47:31never found all the pieces yet
47:33scientists
47:34try to solve the context
47:35philosophers
47:36are wondering
47:37what's next
47:37pieces
47:38took their lives
47:39to observe them
47:40they couldn't absorb them
47:41they didn't deserve them
47:42my ideas
47:43are only
47:43for the audience
47:44ears
47:45my opponents
47:45it might take years
47:47pencils, pens, and swords
47:48letters put together
47:49from a key to cards
47:50I'm also a sculpture
47:52born with structure
47:53because of my culture
47:54I'm a ripped destructor
47:55I'm styled out a beat
47:57full of technology
47:58complete
47:58sights and new heights
47:59after I get deep
48:00you don't have to speak
48:02just seek
48:03and peep the technique
48:18I'm styled out a beat
