    Not just because it's French, but I get a "Les Nubians" french-soul vibe here. So dope, so fresh! With Q-Tip and the Queen of Bass, Esperanza? Yassssssssss!! Robert, you did it again! Out the ballpark with a rocket on it's tail!!! :>))

      i put this officially into my top 5 of best songs i can think of, maybe top 3, at least of this millenium

      hey me! 😃
      Life can bring you down when you're living in it
      These circles and cycles go round though you even spin it
      But you stoppin it when your shoulder is a reminder
      To not run yourself in the ground, to yourself be kinder
      Sometimes I got real cast by truth even in the rear view
      Driving aimlessly around with nowhere to stay to
      She ain't the should be them, the vibes like an abstract poet
      If somebody ask who you are, well
      You better know it, better know it, better know it

    I think this song is about how black ppl in america were forced to speak the english language “before they had a say, and nobody asked if they wanted it”
    That’s why this song is in french in my opinion (the official language most African countries speak nowadays) to remember the origins… remember how to breathe, etc. And many other forgotten things that the mother land once taught.
    (Though even french was actually forced too but at least its understood by ppl in africa, unlike english)

    Cause the lyrics in french are a disaster oh my god . 😱😱
    I don’t know what Glasper and Spalding smoked the day they wrote the text, but it must have been good ! 🤣🤣🤣
    "Un oeuf cosmique= the cosmic egg?" "Une cuisse a la porte= A thigh at the door?" 🤣🤣🤣
    The question is : did they used Google trad to write the lyrics in french?🤣🤣
    On the other hand, if they used aggregate translators, how is it possible to have allowed such inconsistencies?
    If you can explain to me what a cosmic egg and a thigh at the door , I'm here guys.
