Peace! The second verse to this song is in reference to my cousin, the late great Ben Wilson. He was the top basketball player in Chicago--the nation really--back in 1984 before he was mercilessly gunned down by some jealous lowlife. What an honor to Benji's memory for Common to further immortalize him in his music. Much love for that...
