Edit: I'm An Idiot

[King Musa]

If you bothered to listen to the words you would have understood it the first time. It isn't one line, the entire theme of the song is about slavery, racism, and lynchings. If you didn't hear it it's because you didn't want to hear the harsh truth, but we at the coli applaud your new found wokeness and can suggest a few books to read to further develop your mind.
I reccomend starting with the autobiography of Malcolm x.

Alight cool, but, I was just a teen when I first heard it. The more you know.

Lol, the piano and the vintage sounds makes it sound "creepy" not the subject matter per say. I'm only 20 breh, my music knowledge is second hand from my parents.....When I first heard this song I thought nothing of it....Until I found just recently breh.

Breh that song was composed in the 1930s, none of our parents were even born let alone us and yet we know the song and it's meaning. Come on now. You have to be joking.

Not trolling.

I just stumbled upon the info today....But, I didn't know it was common knowledge, my bad. When trying to be woke goes wrong. I'll take the L in stride and let this be a lesson learned.

Right. I remember the first time I heard it, it was in the movie Tales From The Hood. That shyt gave me chills listening to it. Eerie is the perfect word to describe it.

@nikkas claiming I'm White just because I was oblivious to the actual meaning of this song for the longest time. Slow asf? Oblivious? Yes...White? hell no. New Posters, Prove You're Black./
