This is not a well known song of Brother Ali's, but it is my favorite and in my opinion his best. That last verse gets me every time! He's talking about how music should have substance, meanging, and most of all value. It should benefit the listener in any way possible, not help them feed into a negative culture or vice. This sums up what I took from this awesome song:
"If I sell drugs, or die, or go to jail, or go to hell either way
If you keepin' it real how come there's no truth to what you say?
Remember this, we make rap stars rich and company's even richer
I aim for your brain until you get the picture"
