    That's a great story but what is black is it Mississippi or Harlem or is it Philly what about Idaho or Nebraska? Is it east or west Africa or the Middle East? Its in Germany and the Philippines Indonesia and Pakistan. is it rap is it basketball is it felons or is it broken English lack of education except how to exploit the system and others or is it a college degree or a fancy car or a large bank account? is it light or dark or a bald head dreadlocks is it cornrows a perm or a fade or somewhere in between is it section 8 or the suburbs a mansion a prison cell or back on a plantation? In my opinion just another marketing scheme at this point and we need to empower ourselves instead of selling out to blind materialism and strive for substance and longevity as the racial lines become more blurred as they always have

    Sounds like a rapper trying to sing. Loses the soul, emotion and melody for me.
    Great song, not the best version.

      @leedza 2 года назад +3

      Dude, it's hard to match Sly Johnson. The fact he can even sing and hold the note is a surprise to most who only know him as ill lyricist. It's not bad version at all.
