[roallen78]

almost every time I listen to this song - I close my eyes and just feel the song. I end up listening to this like 3 times in a row without knowing it.

[JShahlo]

This is what's up. Chill out music. Mos Def is a trifecta of talent and underated as fuck.

[brion2010]

anybody see mos def perform this on david chappell's block party? the only way this song could touch my soul any deeper is if I hear it live!

[MrALAMIN73]

most cats these days don't understand what music is...and the sad part it's not only the young generation, it's older cats as well. for every rap song that comes out out make my kids listen to the original song it sampled so they will known and understand

[Rbluna7]

old skool! this track is too much, best track he's ever done!

[creeball]

reminds me of golden boy by res.

[KASLtja]

@creeball Res is cool too.

[lolapedro]

@creeball i couldn't think what this track reminded me of + u nailed it: "golden boys"... of course!

thanx;-)

[MoShow4000]

[TheBlackTa7]

" I want black people to be free "

[zonetre3]

!!!Thats all that matters to me!!!

[SERiF7321]

At first I was like MosDef? singing?... Is this his way of saying 'I can do more than rap'?

But then I really listened. And now I understand. This is his soul and in its comfortable sobering way... inspiring. I like it because it's honest, he can actually hold a note and he achieved his goal at communicating what he felt.

That's why we make music right?... to liberate us from our "waking sleep".

[dacbiet]

@SERiF7321

That's a good way of putting it. Good shit, man.

[Tmathh]

@SERiF7321 that was sexy as fuck what you just said

[trevor123698123]

@SERiF7321 Actually in this day and age music is used solely to keep you asleep and unless we live in a utopia full of free thinking beings music is always going to be a waste of time, unless there is truth within the music. Mos Def admitted in "travelling man" that hes a communist. The way entertainment is today, anyone with a major contract is either a part of the brotherhood, or working towards the goal of the brotherhood.

[mrsbrownfamily]

Love it...... real music at it's best

[Ceedeo]

mos def is the one hes very underated most good rappers are but keep that real shit coming..1

[AJD718]

[Scrotumdeouf]

@AJD718

[thehalfbakedlife]

so close... shine yo light on the world...
