Sounds of Blackness - Optimistic

[Ku$h Parker]

Their slaps with the S.O.S Band solidified that statement

It was Control for me

Got generation X through the rough times.

Breh,It still does for meIts a way to remind me that all the Bad shyt is only Temporary

 

[Ku$h Parker]

Never say die.

Keep On

 

[VladTheImpaler]

I listen to this song when I am jogging or just doing something to better myself on some aspirational shyt.... song is timeless and beautiful!

 

[Ya' Cousin Cleon]

A song like this could easily be made today

problem is people shyt on any attempts of joy omitted by black folks.
