this makes me feel so melancholy and at peace with myself. this and 'beautiful' are such good pieces of music. mos def is by far my most played artist
Listening to this song, I just hope you and our world will find Peace & Harmony. Behind any kind of "race", government or religion, aren't we just enjoying this SICK track at the same time? Isn't that real and beautiful?
@XxanimatesupxX word I'm 16 years old. But i don't let my age defy me, my minds wise through hip hop and conscious enough to be smarter than any mainstream bandwagoner.
Does anyone know the name of the sample he used? I know i heard the original song of the guy singing in the back on the radio and i want to know the name.
This is ONE of my favorite songs from the Mighty Mos Def!!! i feel like he this song is how i feel when i come home from blowing that purple haze and my girl gets mad cause i finished the blunt!!! ma dont cry ill go uptown and get some more!!!
Why couldnt this start at 5:30? lol CALiKUSH
