[Ryan Art, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Michael Jackson - Melatonin lyrics]
It feels good to be thought of as a person
Not as a personality
When I create my music
I feel like an instrument of nature
I wonder what delight nature must feel
When we open our hearts
And express our God-given talents
The sound of approval rolls
Across the universe
And the whole world abounds in magic
Wonder fills our hearts for what we
Have glimpsed for an instant:
The playfulness of life
And that’s why I love children
And learn so much from being around them
I realize that many of
Our world’s problems today
From thе inner-city crime to
Large-scalе wars and terrorism
And our overcrowded prisons
Are a result of the fact that children
Have had their childhoods stolen from them
The magic, the wonder
The mystery and the innocence of
A child’s heart are
The seeds of creativity that
Will heal the world i really believe that
I love you too
But what we need to learn
From children isn't childish
Being with them connects us to
The deeper wisdom of life
Which is ever present and only
Asks to be lived they know the way to
Solutions that lie waiting
To be recognized within our own hearts
Today i would like to thank all
The children of the world
Including the sick and deprived
I am so sensitive to your pain
I also-
So I lose sleep wondering, today
Is there some previous chapter
Ripped from the universe it'self
We don't know what we don't know
And this leaves me awake at night -
I lose sleep over that
Oh, alright, listen BoB once and for all
The Earth looks flat because
1) you're not far enough away at your size
2) you're size isn't large
Enough, relative to Earth
To notice any curvature at all
It's a fundamental fact of
Calculus and non-euclidean geometry
Small sections of large curved
Surfaces will always look
Flat to little creatures that crawl upon them
But this- But this whole thing
Its just a symptom of a larger problem
There's a growing anti-intellectual strain in
This country that may
That may be the beginning of the
End of our informed democracy
Of course in a free society
You can, and should, think whatever you want
If you want to think the world is flat
Go right ahead
But, if you think the world is flat
And you have influence over others as would
Successful rappers
Or even presidential candidates
Then being wrong becomes being
Harmful to the health
The wealth, and the security of our citizens
Discovery and exploration got us
Out of the caves
And each generation benefit's from what
Previous generations have learned
Isaac Newton, my man, said
"If I have seen farther than others
It's by standing on the shoulders of giants"
Can I get an Amen? Woo!
So that's right BoB
When you stand on the shoulders
Of those who came before
You might just see far enough to realize
And by the waythis is called gravity
Not as a personality
When I create my music
I feel like an instrument of nature
I wonder what delight nature must feel
When we open our hearts
And express our God-given talents
The sound of approval rolls
Across the universe
And the whole world abounds in magic
Wonder fills our hearts for what we
Have glimpsed for an instant:
