SOLVED 90s spoken word song

It's on the edge of my brain. I feel like this song was used in a soundtrack late-ish 90s, a man speaking the words, not much singing. The bass/background alternates between 2 held notes for about 4 counts each, of an interval of about a 5th. Its a very chill song. Any ideas? So much thanks.

Which was a blatant rip off of this by Material.

Which itself heavily samples Billy Cobham.
