Look, we break it down, down, down, down, down.

She break it down, down, down, down, down, down.

She got to message for the people, a brilliant mind and a clean soul.

She's standing up to the evil in making sure that we all grow strong enough

To break these change we're in

They keep us in this painful condition

She gave us truth and division

That's why we listen

She break it down, down, down, down, down

Down, down

She break it down, down, down, down. She break it down, down, down, down, down, down.

Lo, we break it down, down, down, down, down.

Lots of good things to get into this morning.

And also, we have a ritual on this show.

Because, as you all know, doing the work of black talk land yet ain't easy it

can be a little heavy in the spirit so our ritual is called a moment of gratitude and the reason

we have this ritual is because it allows us to intentionally curate a set of emotions known as

joy gratitude and appreciation you may be wondering why those emotions well i will tell you because

we have an answer those emotions are important because when you're rooted in joy, gratitude, and appreciation, you cannot also be trapped by fear, loneliness, and depression. Baby, ain't nobody got time to be trapped by no emotions. We want to be informed by our emotions, not trapped by them. So the ritual is pretty simple. It is so simple, in fact, it goes a little something like this. In just a minute, y minute, y'all gonna hear music. The music's gonna be an invitation to you to join the rest of us, because when we hear it, we are gonna collectively begin taking the slowest, the deepest, the most long capacity, expanding, joyful, heart, invigorating, troubled, mind cleansing, and weary, so uplifted. And are going to take the most amazingly juicy breath

as we kick off our most important segment of every single day.

It is time for our moment of gratitude.

Thank you. Everyday folks, every day we got to do it and every day it matters.
