[RHYTHMIC TAPPING]
[? (RAPPING) ?] Family, family, more than a man. It's a clan. Sometimes, you gotta make a stand. Make a plan. Raise a hand. Seize the day. Find a way. Embrace the solution. Make a resolution. It's collusion and confusion. Everyone thinks they know the right way, but things are frightening. Thoughts like lightning. Emotion heightening. Sorrow for tomorrow, and tomorrow time is borrowed. Feeling hollow. Better die alive to strive. Say goodbye to a hole in your soul. That's the goal. So let it roll.
[APPLAUSE]
