SINY!!


:wow:

I wish they cleared the sample for this for to be on the LP..

Album version is dope too though...


Both are dope versions. I dont know which one I prefer, but Stargate did a great job. Really liked the way the synths hit.....best of both worlds would have been their version with the vocal samples spliced in.

Testify is a great song.

America and Hero are fine. The rest is mostly meh, mainly on account of the production. Mind you, I didn't think this was a great album in real time.

MAN I'M LISTENING TO THIS THIS MORNING AND THIS IS ONE OF THE GREATEST RAP ALBUMS EVER AND IS fukkING RELEVANT AS HELL IN 2025

THIS WAS ALL IN 2008

We're not alone

Take a look in the mirror
And see the bigger picture
It's good to be alive
(It's good to be alive)
Nobody is an island
We are part of an environment
Only way we're gon' survive
Is if we harmonize


Ayo I'm American born, love America
Love my people, love all mankind, all nationalities, you know
I think it's just been recently where everybody just started to feel
Like there was an elite group that runs everything
And everybody else was sheep, ignorant
Making all ethnicities, colors and creeds
******s, blind to what really is going on
So I say take off the wool from your eyes
Out with the old America in with the new
End all racism, all injustice, all oppression to poor people
Any people anywhere in this planet
Let's come together: a new day is rising

Untitled

o revolutionary gets old or so I'm told
You're left full of bullet holes when you tell the people go free
Oh, it's a matter of days before they try to take me
I heard gun shots rang; his bullet's got my name
I ain't see 'em take aim, I dreamt this day came

'Cause I stood in the face of damnation
Satan spat at 'em, flat out disgraced 'em
He want my blood, why me?
Why not the fake ones who deserve death, man?
fukk it, I'll take one, 'cause stop me
But can't stop a whole nation of millions who feel you deceived them
They believe in reparation makes it even


Testify

Little rap fans who live way out in safe suburbia
Would you stand with me, a United States murdurer?

Huh? Would you testify?
You buy my songs
You buy my songs
But will you ride with me?
You understand my struggle
That's what you claim right?
Then get your aim right

This fukking album man.
