Francis, Sage - Ubuntu (Water Into Wine) (2012) Lyrics

I Love You Man

Hmm... so this isn't LINUX Rap ??

Awesome reference that's never been made before. AND VERY ON POINT. *crowd explodes in applause*

@Sage Francis its about community. Us vs the Problem, and not Us vs Them. Win Win or no deal. How tf can we be happy with others suffering. I completely support your message, and strive to be the change I want to see in the world! Even if I make cliche computer geek references.

such a good song

Is that Henry Bowers at 4:31?

I love it.

I still think this song is powerful!

Ubuntu - "I am, because we are." 

Savage song...

amazing song!

i've done work with kids in Guatemala; been there twice....i'd like to go to Africa next....much respect Mr. Francis (: keep up the good work, hope to meet you someday!

All my love and respect Sage - I've worked with Africa for many years and Ubuntu is the shit. Really great song - the lyrics are excellent!!! 

The game needs more smart cats like Sage! Keep up the amazing work. You have had my attention since 2000. Give em hell Sage!

All i can really say i got mad love and respect for sage Francis and i hope to see more music

Thanks Sage Francis.

An artist I can respect and only wish to run into one day.

Keep at it! I hope the money keeps coming in for this great thing.

Sage still gets better and better. This song is fantastic.

a true spiritual warrior putting yourself on the frontline.
Thank You.

Very proud of u and everyone like u. Glad your not Killing time....Respect

Sage, your a beast and an angel

great song but i have to admit i cringed every time he said their names. wow bantu names sound odd in an american accent

Well, dang...sorry to have an accent. Heh. Did my best. They did my best to teach me the best to say all the words correctly but native accents are incredibly tough to shake. At least they found it humorous.

Props to you sage. I wish i was in the position to do something similar. Peace and love.

Some people really excel at written word, Some at freestyle, Some in battles. Sage doesn't excel at written word. He's a fucking master of it.

Damn, Sage. Please don't take this as a rude remark, but on PKA your freestyle wasn't the best - but I guess that was solely due to you not being ready for the moment; but this. This is fucking gold! Props, dude. Your music's awesome!

im from South Africa.This brought tears to my eyes i cant belive i missed Sage in SA

Great video, Sage. I've spent some time in Uganda, and although it's very different, there's a lot in these lyrics that I can relate to. I'll have to do a bit more research on the work you do out there!

Respect. Peace and Love.

tell me this song doesnt touch your soul...UBUNTU!!!!!!!!!!

hearts resond to pics "yeah"..then why does this affect me?? people dont get this!"!

Cant beliv dis, God bless Sage

I love you SAGE FRANCIS wish there were more people in the world like you. I am working on breaking free from the programming and give back and fight for change too. Look out for me I'd love to get involved in action for change. I'll do anything I physically am able to do to save humanity. Love amber

Sage is effin legit. Keep it up.

nice human

wow, these lyrics are deep...

Without assistance. You insisted on hosting the World Cup?
That ain’t love, brother. What happened to you?
You beautified the parts of the city that tourists travel through.
You built a gorgeous stadium that can’t sustain itself,
Flexing superficial muscles in a false display of wealth.
Your most important resources need major help.
Think of how the medication and information on AIDS is dealt.

this is the definition of hip hop right here! thank you for raising awareness and raising so much money everybody who has given. Judge society on how they treat the poorest.

but you know for serious Sage Francis DOES look like "Big Show" from wrestling... just saying...O.O

Brilliant! This is an omen of what is to come - public participation - - no more stupid wastefulness, costly infrastructure and wages that take all the money. Straight to the source. Noticed it with Cuba - the kids couldn't get strings for their instruments - PNG the medical clinic couldn't even get paracetomol. There must be a million small personal things we can eah do to help. Starting at home...

As of 12/28/12 we have raised $3,672.81!
Instead of one single bed, the kids now have TWO separate bunk beds. Once the holidays are completely over, a person has been commissioned to fix their roof and other faulty items in their house. I'd like to thank everyone who's contributed. We'll continue to raise money, put it toward the bare essentials, school supplies, medical care and whatever else we can. The kids are incredibly grateful. This was a great holiday for them. THANK YOU!

The voices of the children give me chills.. Chills of faith, and love.

Love it

Everybody share this on Facebook so it gets more attention

The realest shit I've heard in a long time. Respect, Sage. Respect.

I've always been a fan of yours, but this has given me a new found respect for you, greetings from England :)

Just that it reminds me of your older song Message sent's beat drums :)

Sagopadan Gelen ?

And this is just another reason why I have crazy respect for Sage and the SFR family

donated, thanks sage powerful song. So cool to see henry bowers towards the end. Does anyone know if he has a song about his experience?

I never really buy into really political music. But Sage is the one guy who will always make me do exactly that!

Sage Francis, you are an incredible human being sir!

beat ----> message sent ;)))

Henry Bowers!!

Great cause for sure. What strikes me just as much is the beat. Sounds very organic, very suitable to the whole context. I wonder if that flute type of thing is synthesised and if not what instrument exactly it is?

Keep up the fight sage. Speak truth, spread love and bleed for what you believe in. You're living the life we all need to give a chance. One not of self but of unity. It's a refreshing sight to see. Thanks.

In the past 24 hours we have raised over $1000 for these kids! I'm so pumped about that. I can't wait to see the look on their faces once their home gets patched up. But we're aiming to do much more than that. Still...ughhh...I'm PUMPED. Thank you so much, strange fam.

Your heart is even bigger than your talent. Thank you

I hope you can raise a lot for these beautiful children and their families.

Powerful man.

Fantastic as always Sage!

This is heartwarming as fuck. I gotta put the swear word in to mask my tears and femininity.
