MAN: I feel like I'm not a king yet.
But, like, I got potential for it, you feel me?
But I'm not there yet, you feel me?
Like, I know I got the capabilities to,
but sometimes I don't know how to navigate.
(SOFT ANCIENT MUSIC PLAYING)
MUFASA: Everything you see exists together in a delicate balance.
You need to understand that balance
and respect all the creatures...
from the crawling ant...
to the leaping antelope.
We are all connected
in the great circle of life.
(CHILDREN CHATTERING)
BEYONCÉ: Bless the body,
born celestial,
beautiful in dark matter.
Black is the color of my true love's skin.
Coils and hair catching centuries of prayers,
spread through a smoke.
You are welcome to come home to yourself.
Let black be synonymous with glory.
(SONG PLAYING)
(SINGING) If you feel insignificant
You better think again Better wake up because
You're part of something way bigger You're part of something way bigger
Not just a speck in the universe Not just some words in a Bible verse
You are the living word Aa-ah
You're part of something way bigger
Bigger than you Bigger than we
Bigger than the picture they framed us to see
But now we see it
And it ainʼt no secret, no
Understand that truth about that question in your soul
Look up, don't look down Then watch the answers unfold
Life is your birthright They hid that in the fine print, uh
Take the pen and rewrite it
Step out your estimate Step in your essence
And know that you're excellent Rise
The spirit is teaching No, I'm not just preaching
I'm taking my own advice
Let Mama let you know Mama's still trying
I can't get no days off I don't get no days off
Truly I'm feeling it I had to say that thing twice
Trying to be a good wife Still really hard I can't lie
But I promised you I would fight So I fight
If you're feeling frustrated and
You're sinking, I'm jumping in
Forgiveness is key
Because we're fighting something way bigger
You'll never lose We are winners
I'll be the roots You'll be the tree
Pass on the fruit that was given to me Legacy
Aa-ah
We're part of something way bigger
Bigger
You're part of something way bigger

Bigger than the picture they framed us to see

History is your future.
One day, you will meet yourself back where you started,

(SINGING) Let love be the water
I pour into you And you pour into me
There ainʼt no drought here
Bloom into our actual powers
I'll be your sanctuary
You just don't know it yet You just don't know it yet
No matter how hard it gets You got my blood in ya
And you're gonna rise
You're part of something way bigger
Bigger than you Bigger than me
Bigger than the picture they paint us to be
Ooh! Ooh, ooh
You're part of something way bigger
Understand that truth about that question in your soul
Look up, don't look down Then watch the answers unfold
Life is your birthright They hid that in the fine print
Take the pen and rewrite it
Step out your estimate
Step in your essence
And know that you're excellent Rise

A journey is a gift,
something to offer at the door to the rooms of your mind.
This is how we journey
far,
and can still always find something like home.
The great kings were here long before us,
ancient masters of celestial lore.

I had to be everything you couldn't be, for my survival
My own idol Skipped my trial
Took my rightful Rightful title
No remorse The sin is final
I found all my own disciples
I'm too far gone Down this spiral
No white angels Just albinos
Check my eyes, man They're all white, man
Roll them back now Where'd the light go?
Guess it died, so cold like cryo
Crack my neck back like I'm the chiro

I'm not sure but I know I'm still in motion
This ain’t regular, I seen regular
These streams may take me out to the ocean
KENDRICK LAMAR: Told myself if I dive in it without precaution of a lifejacket
Then I'll dive in it 'til I'm exhausted and I'm type lackin'
Waistline on four deep Senses on four deep
Feel like there's four me
One time I took a swim in the Nile
I swam the whole way, I didn't turn around
Man, I swear It made me relax when I came down
I felt liberated like free birds I'm stimulated now
Plunging away unless my body's on top
Stimulated now
All of these currents might cost me my life
Right now
Where danger finds me, it follows with tides
Many miles ahead of me, still I'm in stride
That's some good
Got the Nile runnin' through my body
Look at my natural, I'm so exotic
Darker the berry, sweeter the fruit
Deeper the wounded, deeper the roots
Nubian doused in brown, I'm lounging in it
Fountain of Youth, I said I'm drowning in it
KENDRICK AND BEYONCÉ: I'm in the Nile, deep in denial
KENDRICK: That's some good
MAN: When it's all said and done, I don't even know my own native tongue.
And if I can't speak myself, I can't think myself.
And if I can't think myself, I can't be myself.

So, Uncle Sam, tell me this,
if I will never know me, how can you?

Being a king is taking what's yours,

You're the king.

WOMAN: It would be a much better world for all of us
if kings and queens realized that being equal,
sharing spaces, sharing ideas, sharing values,
sharing strength, sharing weaknesses, balancing each other out,
that is the way in which our ancestors did things,
and that is an African way.
The royalty in you is there for you to be a blessing to others.
For you to leave a legacy that others can look to
and find hope and find strength, find healing as well.
BEYONCÉ: Child of dust, return to the river.
Your roots and your story will be reborn.

MAN: We've been conditioned to be inside of a box.
And we've been created with this image
that Black men are supposed to be this way.
And I feel like we're kings.
We have to take responsibility of stepping outside of those barriers
that they've put us in for the next generation.
(SONG PLAYING)
(SINGING) If the storm comes If we burn up
If the wells run dry
You're my reason
To believe in
Another life
If it all ends

On the other side
If we wake up
Lose our patience
Or even lose our lives
Oh

To say that you've been
A friend of mine
Best believe me
You will see me
On the other side

and the ancestors returned, smiling.
Divine archetype,
predecessor of light.
You who were formed by the heat of the galaxy,
who was dusted with a star,
who has the universe in your eye,
whose blood keeps the score of your blessings and trials.
MAN: People don't remember who they were, what they were,
what they were taken from, why people tried so hard to make us forget.
There's something about kingship, you know?
There's something about walking in the room with your head high
and not disrespecting your crown by bowing your neck, you know?
