As a kid (staring at the age of 10), every time I heard this song come the radio station KDIA, here in Oakland Ca, I always felt uneasy. It really bothered my ears. I grew to know that this is a ghetto story that most black people could and still can relate to. It speaks of generational curses. And for a lot of us (black people), when we hear songs like this it takes us back to that / those moments in time in which we remember the struggle that we were either born into or was developed through our family members which we had no choice but to face and adapt to. Thanks for posting this! I’m sure for most , this is a “never forget where you came from,” anthem…..
Never heard this before, however; I like the fact that you can hear all of the instruments clearly

Us kids knew that if we slid that dial on the transistor radio down towards the end at Lucky 1300 we might get something like this.
Hey Soul On Top, you should do some Sly Stone content bro! Or better yet other FUNKY content man!
My favourite track of SLY.....Legend
Surely a remix ?
A dry mix from the original multitrack, as seen in the video on their official channel.
One of my all time favorite SLY songs.
This version rocks too
My all-time favorite Sly & The Family Stone Track
