0:01:20.149,0:01:21.689
I've been looking

0:01:21.713,0:01:23.572
Several days now

0:01:23.596,0:01:25.356
Where did they go?

0:01:25.380,0:01:28.331
Where did they go?

0:01:28.802,0:01:30.862
My mama told me long ago

0:01:34.053,0:01:37.609
I've lost so many precious things, I know

0:01:37.633,0:01:39.341
They won't be back

0:01:39.365,0:01:42.386
Where did they go?

0:01:42.989,0:01:45.157
My mama told me long ago

0:01:47.950,0:01:50.863
Ain't nobody's ever gonna tell me[br]to abandon my old friend

0:01:51.720,0:01:55.188
Happy days, walking on the shore

0:01:55.212,0:01:58.728
Happy days, walking on the shore

0:01:58.752,0:02:02.954
Happy days, walking on the shore

0:02:03.806,0:02:10.717
Ain't nobody's ever gonna tell me[br]to abandon my good memories at all

0:02:14.362,0:02:17.165
I've seen so many pretty things

0:02:17.189,0:02:19.776
They don't mean a thing now

0:02:19.800,0:02:23.490
Listen to the song

0:02:23.514,0:02:25.901
My mama told me long ago

0:02:48.933,0:02:52.088
Ain't nobody's ever gonna tell me[br]to doubt my good old days

0:02:52.715,0:02:55.652
Happy days, walking on the shore

0:02:56.309,0:02:59.865
Happy days, walking on the shore

0:02:59.889,0:03:04.399
Happy days, walking on the shore

0:03:05.065,0:03:09.691
Ain't nobody's ever gonna tell me[br]to abandon my good memories at all

0:03:10.347,0:03:12.861
Abandon my good memories at all

0:03:13.919,0:03:18.280
Abandon my good memories at all

0:03:46.527,0:03:51.561
Thank you for giving me the opportunity[br]to perform tonight at TED New York.

0:03:52.442,0:03:55.910
I've been a dedicated TED fan and viewer,

0:03:55.934,0:04:00.649
and also, I actually used to live[br]in Manhattan when I was younger,

0:04:00.673,0:04:05.230
so New York is like a second home to me,[br]and it's great to be back.

0:04:06.333,0:04:09.022
The song I just performed[br]was called "my mama,"

0:04:09.046,0:04:11.227
and the next song I'm going to perform

0:04:11.251,0:04:14.908
is another original song of mine[br]called "BLACK BANANA."

0:04:16.240,0:04:22.544
This song I wrote about the importance[br]of being patient with your dreams.

0:04:22.568,0:04:27.189
Because I think commitment[br]will always be rewarded.

0:04:27.601,0:04:30.535
Just like fruit ripens[br]when the time is right.

0:04:30.988,0:04:34.083
So it's my interpretation[br]of building the future.

0:04:37.852,0:04:39.002

0:04:55.972,0:04:57.122
Clap your hands.

One!

0:05:26.827,0:05:27.977
Two!

0:05:28.606,0:05:32.179
One, two, one, two, three, four.

0:05:45.941,0:05:49.294
Sitting here, killing time,[br]I've been doing it all day

0:05:49.318,0:05:52.807
I've been always smart[br]when it comes to gettin' away

0:05:52.831,0:05:56.355
Got a soda pop fizzin' hard[br]in my empty brain

0:05:56.379,0:05:59.961
When the time is right I'll move[br]alright so don't get too uptight

0:06:00.497,0:06:03.548
Silly girls in bathing suits[br]cleaning cars on Sundays

0:06:03.572,0:06:07.543
They're living a lie[br]don't make as fool of yourself too soon

0:06:07.567,0:06:10.690
Lining my bananas[br]on the window sill to ripen

0:06:10.714,0:06:14.280
When the time is right I'll move[br]alright so don't get too uptight

Remember last December[br]when we went to get some pizza

0:06:40.154,0:06:43.560
Was a brat, was running fast[br]to get home by my curfew

0:06:43.584,0:06:46.758
Silly me, tripping quick,[br]I was almost killed by a honker

0:06:46.782,0:06:50.521
