-
3:47 - 3:52Thank you for giving me the opportunity
to perform tonight at TED New York. -
3:52 - 3:56I've been a dedicated TED fan and viewer,
-
3:56 - 4:01and also, I actually used to live
in Manhattan when I was younger, -
4:01 - 4:05so New York is like a second home to me,
and it's great to be back. -
4:06 - 4:09The song I just performed
was called "my mama," -
4:09 - 4:11and the next song I'm going to perform
-
4:11 - 4:15is another original song of mine
called "BLACK BANANA." -
4:16 - 4:23This song I wrote about the importance
of being patient with your dreams. -
4:23 - 4:27Because I think commitment
will always be rewarded. -
4:28 - 4:31Just like fruit ripens
when the time is right. -
4:31 - 4:34So it's my interpretation
of building the future. -

I've been doing it all day -
5:49 - 5:53I've been always smart
when it comes to gettin' away -
5:53 - 5:56Got a soda pop fizzin' hard
in my empty brain -
5:56 - 6:00When the time is right I'll move
alright so don't get too uptight -
6:00 - 6:04Silly girls in bathing suits
cleaning cars on Sundays -
6:04 - 6:08They're living a lie
don't make as fool of yourself too soon -
6:08 - 6:11Lining my bananas
on the window sill to ripen -
6:11 - 6:14When the time is right I'll move
alright so don't get too uptight -
