In this world I am so excited to find my true religion. The one piece of faith I and I all carry. We are all brother and sister all of them da same, black man, asian man, pale man, big man, tiny man. We have so much more that we cannot see, it's reality and it shines so brightly.

Good chune

[iam01]

never get tired of this joint

[oliverekenberg]

this song makes me calm

[jahluva2000]

I like both versions. The one wit Nardo Ranks is dope as hell....but this version is even different from the one I have with Coca Tea by himself. This sounds like more of a Lovers Rock version. The one wit Nardo is FYAH!!!!!

[passiveMenis]

The Nardo Ranks remix is amazing.

so is this though.\

[madisondiva]

This is for the United States Janekbaranek

this statistic is in many peer reviewed journals

U.S. incarceration rates by race, June 30, 2006:

Whites: 409 per 100,000

Latinos: 1,038 per 100,000

Blacks: 2,468 per 100,000

[madisondiva]

50% of black males between 25-40 are in prison.

This song still has relevance in 2008

[janekbaranek]

no way!!?? 50%?? is that through out the whole world?

[passiveMenis]

U.S.

[westonxxx]

If people believe the notion of ' One drop of negro blood makes one 'Black' ' then obviously this must cover a very large portion of the population. How many of the forementioned '50%' are half european-half african, three quarter european-quarter african, four fifth european-one fifth african...............?

Both of my parents are so -called Black. If I was to become the US president, would I be the first 'Very Black President'??

[CIickMyNamee]

no we already got a black president sorry lol

[DaminoLordXL]

It that keeps up..there will be more jails than colleges.
