his is a word that you'll be familiar with. I would say the soul another word you're familiar with is the spirit. We would say in the culture, the ancestors.
It's like we found out in modern times about something a thousand percent accurate, but it took centuries to figure out DNA.
It's the DNA, sir, from those African ancestors that passed through when we were born from our mother's womb, then our mother's mother's womb, and our mother's mother's mother’s womb.
You see that DNA—it's kind of like knowing who your father and your mother is, even though I can deny all I want to, "it's not my child.” To hit that old DNA? They know a thousand percent. That's your child. You can talk all you want. You ain't been there but one time. Well, that one time you was there, it happened.
It's that inner soul. It's that piece we can't touch. It's that spirit. That's it, sir. It's almost indescribable, but it was brought over.
You can't touch a person's soul.
You can cut me; I'm going to bleed. The body does it on its own. You can say stop; it doesn't stop. But that's that DNA from the motherland, and it's just in us, it's in our souls. We don't know how it got there. It's just there, sir.
