10 years later lyrics are just as powerful, truly amazing work.

Brother Ali was interviewed for the book series, *HOW TO RAP* and *HOW TO RAP2*, and shared his rapping techniques. Here he talks about writing political songs. "Even my political songs and stuff, they’re all personal-I’m not doing them to raise awareness. If that does happen, then that’s cool, that’s great, but I’m not making these songs with the idea that I’m gonna change the world with these songs- I’m gonna express myself with these songs."

And I discover this just now. AFTER 10 YEARS!

Just gets realer and realer as time goes by...

How is this song so chill and enraging at the same time?

Welcome to the soundtrack for America circa 2020!

Good shit. I know he's gotten a lot of heat for this track, but he just spills it with 100% integrity and sincerity; I love it.

He really means it and there's soul in it, but he's a couple decades off on the message. Next he's gonna make a song about how it's such a big problem that horses are shitting in the streets when people ride them to work and how we need to find a better, more mechanically sophisticated way to get around.

Kobina Jamieson I mean, in one form or another. My analogy wasn’t absolutely perfect. But in any practical sense that warrants a song trying to sway society, it’s not happening. It’s all on more of a smaller scale that society as a whole can’t necessarily do more about.

Man, I don't even listen to rap and I love this song.

This song got the Feds to freeze his Rhymesayers bank account and probably put him on a high priority watchlist, too. Which kind of amplifies the point of this song. Badass!

@@FBarbarian No, they mean if your going to present something as fact, then make sure it is a fact. Whether it was intentional lying, or just ignorant spreading of rumors, it still is misinformation, & benefits nothing, including the message of this song.

Respect brother,your helping me through some kind of awakening .I will play your truth as loud as I can and help others to awaken from their programed brainwashed existence.Keep up the good fight.We all need to stand up and believe in the power within us to restore this paradise that we have been given by our god .

I always have to follow this track with 'Own Light," because there's ALWAYS a Light at the end of the tunnel. And WE CANNOT LOSE SIGHT OF IT. No matter how difficult it gets, ONLY LOVE will get us through. And I love you all, truly and equally.
