Lyric discussion by nlenkowski 

Man this is a powerful song. Best of the Blue Scholars (so far) if you ask me... stand up for eachother, defend eachother, we're one in the same. On that note, I'm pretty sure the lines in the last verse are "To get our fam (family) in other lands to understand your pain" instead of "To get our famine(?) of the lands to understand your pain."

"My big brother Free(?) brought the word from the East,"

Reference to the homey Freedom, an activist and youth teacher in Seattle.
