Tribute To Bas

Bas’ video of Africa really inspired me 
Just riding on the Nile river Casually 
He got me thinking bout my life, my family 
My roots, my ancestors, my legacy
The real eastside--cradle of humanity 
The birthplace of knowledge & reality 
What’d you think, happen magically? 
Kings & queens, put on a boat, tragically
