Plot: In an African village this is the day when six 4-9-year-old girls are to be 'cut' (the act of female genital mutilation) All children know that the operation is horrible torture and sometimes lethal, and all adults know that some cut women can only give birth by Caesarean section. Two of the girls have drowned themselves in the well to escape the operation. The four other girls seek "magical protection" (moolaadé) by a woman (Colle) who seven years before refused to have her daughter circumcised. Moolaadé is indicated by a coloured rope. But no one would dare step over and fetch the children. Moolaadé can only be revoked by Colle herself. Her husband's relatives persuade him to whip her in public into revoking. Opposite groups of women shout to her to revoke or to be steadfast, but no woman interferes. When Colle is at the wedge of fainting, the merchant takes action and stops the maltreatment. Therefore he is hunted out of the village and, when out of sight, murdered.

This is your basic 101 class
We're taking too much music from the past
If you agree with me
Gather round, clap your hands and lets make history
Chorus
If I took a page out of Steve's book
Rocked a riff like Donnie would
Everybody's taking from the past and not the present
1973 is just irrelevant
If I bit a style out of Smokey's look
Stole some word's from a Chaka hook
Everybody's taking from the past and not the present
1981 is just irrelevant
Verse
Nowadays everybody wants to be a superstar
They're trying to be like someone else
While forgetting who they are
And it's a damn shame
Cuz by now you'd think we'd be far
From this hypocrisy and ideology
Man, I find it so bizarre
Just like the next kid I had my share of influence
From that sweet Babyface to my man Common
Whatever happened to the days when we used to say
Hey it's Tuesday
Time to drop 10 dollars on that brand new release
Pop it in, press play and inspire me
Where did all the good music go
Oh how I miss those days
Chorus
If I took a page out of Steve's book
Rocked a riff like Donnie would
Everybody's taking from the past and not the present
1973 is just irrelevant
If I bit a style out of Smokey's look
Stole some word's from a Chaka hook
Everybody's taking from the past and not the present
1981 is just irrelevant
Verse
Just cuz I'm on stage doesn't mean I wanna be a superstar
I'm trying to be my own self while forgetting who they are
And it's a damn a shame like Bubonic Plague and SARS
They're killing artisty and musicology
Man, I thought we'd come far
Wasn't raised on soul but I had to get to know
Mr Raphael and D'angelo
Rember those better days when we used to sing
(You're my lady)
Oh that used to be my jam back in ‘96
Nowadays them kids all they want are hits
You won't find me in a music store
But oh how I miss them days
Chorus
If I took a page out of Steve's book
Rocked a riff like Donnie would
Everybody's taking from the past and not the present
1973 is just irrelevant
If I bit a style out of Smokey's look
Stole some word's from a Chahka hook
Everybody's taking from the past and not the present
1981 is just irrelevant
Breakdown
Ohh woah woah woah woah woah
Take me back to the good old days
When we used to sing for love and not for show
Ohh woah woah woah woah woah
Something's wrong with the kinds of songs
They play all day long or maybe I'm too critical
Chorus
If I took a page out of Steve's book
Rocked a riff like Donnie would
Everybody's taking from the past and not the present
1973 is just irrelevant
If I bit a style out of Smokey's look
Stole some word's from a Chahka hook
Everybody's taking from the past and not the present
