Alright.
Stand or sit, whatever you'd like to do.

(Music)
(Singing) Why do people say yes or no
Why do people say yes or no
Constipation
Diarrhea
Hairy fingers
Fishing
Rotten, rotten wasted food
Burping
Why do people say yes or no
Why do people yes or no
I am part of why people say yes or no
To go where no human has gone in the future
Nano particles
Materialized and positive and negative activism
The poor to the left and the rich to the right
There's the crime against the poor
The crime against humanity
(Music)
To serve people
To solve problems
Take me back
Wasted food
Food before it made its way to the store
The food wasted in the truck
There's food wasted in the cargo
Food wasted in the fields
Fishing, fishing for food
Finding reasons for being
Reason versus instinct
Why do people say yes and no, or no, and no
Will you take me back
Where you still look at me like you used to
To the start up investor
Breaking the bank
I'm here, try again
Fund me, fund me, fund me
Find me, find me, find me
What motivates a yes, a mess
FOMO motivation
Thinking outside the ears
Get some yes
Wait for the logic
'Cause the machines have the vision
Empty billboards sucking people into them
Information picked right back out into the phone
Presuasion versus persuasion
Perspiration, inspiration, aspirations
Those are the yesses and nos

Two plus two is one
Thinking clearer now
Oxycontin kicking in
Muhammad Ali, Star Trek, Malcolm X
Jean-Michel Basquiat, Captain Kirk
I got five fights today
No comment
But no gets bum rap
Time to reframe the no
The no is a step toward the yes
Three windows
What's in this room
Three windows
How many windows
Four
Three windows
Your body still persists in virtual reality
What's in the room
A physical fire, a virtual fire
Why do people say yes and no
The tips of the fingers growing here
Who were burned to sell the people
Why do people say yes or no
Waves, waves, waves, waves
The dead still water between the waves
Will you take me back
Take me back
Will you take me back
Where you still look at me like you used to
It's a holograph
(Laughter)
Debit cards, credit cards, holograms
Wait for it
I am the yes and the no
Playing in an elite financial playground
With Basquiat as a metaphor for mystery
What motivates a yes, what motivates a no
I am food rooting in the boats and the field and the cargo
I'm playing in the elite financial playground
It's not fake love, it's real
Cause I'm addicted to the experience
Have you ever been experienced
(Music)
(Laughter)
(Music)
Emotional experience
Wanderlust versus wonderlust
Burp
Your first kiss
Your first miss
Your first love
It's all multisensory
Let's eat grandma
(Laughter)
Everybody say it with me.
Let's eat grandma.
One more time.
Audience: Let's eat grandma.
(Music)
We've got craptions, not captions
Long as we search for the ROI of diversity
The ROI of tragedy will be avoided
Apples, oranges, bananas
Beef bologna, phony, food wasted
(Sighing)
All food matters
All people matter
Black lives matter
Remove bias, I am
All you gotta do is wait
Just wait, just wait a moment for the logic
Just wait a moment for the logic
Just for the yes or the no
Reason versus instinct
Real artists like Basquiat, Warhol
Con artists like Basquiat, Warhol
Social security, I am
Quack medical devices
Gadgets
Vibrations and waves
It's okay to wait, it's okay to wait
Let the Oxycontin
Chill

(Music)
Why do people say yes or no

The no is the path to the yes
Turn to the person next to you and ask them to dance.
See if you get a yes or a no.
Find a dance partner.
Yes or no.
Here we go, find a dance partner.
- [Woman] Oh no.
