[Onigirism]

Omg, he used Boxxy's voice sometimes? oO

[gibigbig]

"they teach him the rest of the world don't need him", VERY POWERFUL

[auomauom]

[wokinghigh]

same harold and kumar was the first time i heard it. its my official song for summer.

[skunky662]

K'naans songs have been featured in video games like madden, and H&R too, but they never gave him the credit he deserved.

[ukoffline]

best verses : it's better to light a candle than to curse the dark in the eyes of the youth there are question marks like freedom, freedom for the mind and soul we don't see em, see them for their worth at all. thats why we lead em lead em to these wars and what is it we feed em feed em our impurities and who it is we treat em treat em like the enemy humanity will need em need em like the blood we spill and where freedom freedom for the hearts we fill mislead em

[llVincentll]

yeah i think so too.

i think it stands out more cause we can actually understand it. LOL
