    Saul Williams is criminally underrated and underexposed.

      For TRUTH!!! Saul Williams has been speaking the TRUTH in profoundly creative ways with such POWER and talent that it blows right past our habitual ignorance we use as an escape hatch from a reality we are perpetuating.

    I want my money back
    I'm down here drowning in your fat
    You got me on my knees
    Praying for everything you lack
    I ain't afraid of you
    I'm just a victim of your fears
    You cower in your tower
    Praying that I'll disappear
    I got another plan
    One that requires me to stand
    On the stage or in the street
    Don't need no microphone or beat
    And when you hear this song
    If you ain't dead sing along
    Bang and strum to these here drums
    Till you get where you belong
    I got a list of demands
    Written on the palm of my hands
    I ball my fist, and you're gonna
    Know where I stand
    We living hand to mouth
    You wanna be somebody? See somebody?
    Try and free somebody?
    I got a list of demands
    Written on the palm of my hands
    I ball my fist, and you're gonna
    Know where I stand
    We living hand to mouth
    Hand to mouth
    I wrote a song for you today
    While I was sitting in my room
    I jumped up on my bed today
    And played it on the broom
    I didn't think that it would be a song
    That you would hear
    But when I played it in my head
    I made you reappear
    I wrote a video for it
    And I acted out each part
    And then I took your picture out
    And taped it to my heart
    I've taped you to my heart, dear girl
    I've taped you to my heart
    And if you pull away from me
    You'll tear my life apart
    I got a list of demands
    Written on the palm of my hands
    I ball my fist, and you're gonna
    Know where I stand
    We living hand to mouth
    You wanna be somebody? See somebody?
    Try and free somebody?
    I got a list of demands
    Written on the palm of my hands
    I ball my fist, you're gonna
    Know where I stand
    We living hand to mouth, hand to mouth
    Ecstacy, suffering, echinacea, bufferin
    We aim to remember what we choose to forget
    God's just a baby and her diaper is wet
    Call the police
    I'm strapped to the teeth
    And liable to disregard
    Your every belief
    Call on the law
    I'm fixin' to draw
    A line between what is and seems
    And call up a brawl
    Callin' 'em now
    'Cause I'm about to go pow
    I'm standing on the threshold
    Of the ups and the downs
    Call up a truce
    Because I'm about to break loose
    Protect ya neck 'cause son
    I'm breaking out of my noose
    I got a list of demands
    Written on the palm of my hands
    I ball my fist, and you're gonna
    Know where I stand
    We living hand to mouth
    You wanna be somebody? See somebody?
    Try and free somebody?
    I got a list of demands
    Written on the palm of my hands
    I ball my fist, and you're gonna
    Know where I stand
    We living hand to mouth
    Hand to mouth
    I got a list of demands
    Written on the palm of my hands
    I ball my fist, and you're gonna
    Know where I stand
    We living hand to mouth
    You wanna be somebody? See somebody?
    Try and free somebody?
    I got a list of demands

All before this song was recorded. Then this track itself has been used in a few popular TV shows and a Nike commercial, so way above underground

    I remember getting out of jail (unfortunately I was part of the early opioid epidemic) and my mom listened to a show on the radio called “Democracy Now!”
    This is one of the songs they played on the program one day and I went nuts for it! It was so good to be free and this song was what many of us whom were inmates would love to scream at those deputies in Texas. I spent a year locked up for overdosing and nothing more than around $20 of possession.
    Meanwhile, low-life pimps and abusers of children did less time based on who they could afford as representation. There were thousands of people in that jail and I still wonder why we never bothered to just unionize and break out. Goodness knows most those COs were a joke.

    This is good music, a man produced by my favorite artist, Trent Reznor. I love the influence I see from both rap and Trent's industrial it fits like a glove and Saul brings all this together. If you enjoy this you oughta listen to Gunshot's By Computer, Saul's cover of NIN's Hyperpower!

    Now I do. Now I’ll fully aware of the inequality that’s been forced upon our brothers and sisters by this f***ed up system.
    Here’s hoping more people wake the f*** up…
