The album this song is from was playing the very first time I got high. I don't know if I ever laughed any harder than I did on that day.

Brother Ali- Letter to my Countrymen
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_2cVUXcbFA
I used to think I hated this placeCouldn't wait to tell the president straight to his faceBut lately I changed, nowadays I embrace it allBeautiful ideals and amazing flawsGot to care enough to give a testament'Bout the deeply depressing mess we're inIt's home so we better make the best of itI wanna make this country what it says it isStill dream in the vividest living colorNo matter how many times my love been smotheredWho's ever above us won't just let us sufferAll of this struggling got to amount to somethingThis is a letter to my countrymenEspecially those my age and younger thanWe're up against an ugly trendEverybody's hustling don't nobody touch their friendsNo group singing and dancingNo anthem nobody holds hands, and...Instead they give a handheldAnd make you shoulder life's burden by your damn selfOne thing that can't be debatedPower never changed on it's own you got to make itThat's why community is so sacredThat's the symbol that we make when we raise fistsChorus:We don't really like to talk about the race thingThe whole grandparents used to own slaves thingPat ourselves on the back in FebruaryLooking at pictures of Abe Lincoln and the great KingBut the real picture's much more embarrassingWe're still not even close to really sharing thingsThe situation of oppressed peopleShows what we feel it means to be a human beingWhat does it mean to be American?I think the struggle to free is our inheritanceAnd if we say it how it really isWe know our lily skin still give us privilegeAdvantages given to the fewThat are built into the roots of our biggest institutionsThat's the truth in life we got to chooseDo I fight in the movement or think I'm entitled to itThis is not a practice lifeThis is the big game we got to attack it rightEach one of us is headed for the graveThis old crooked world won't be saved by the passive typeThis is a letter to my countrymenNot from a Democrat or a RepublicanBut one among you that's why you call me brotherAin't scared to tell you we're in trouble 'cause I love youChorus:They tell me I'm a dreamer, they ridiculeThey feel defeated, old, bitter, and cynicalExcuse me but I see it from a different viewI still believe in what a driven few could really doI know that the masses want to sleepAnd they would just rather hear me rapping to the beatBut I want to pass this planet to my sonA little better than it was when they handed it to meSo I wrote a letter to my countrymenI'll be happy if it only reaches one of themReporting live A-L-I, your brotherMourning in America, dreaming in colorDr. Cornel West:My dear Brother Ali,
I think you know deep down in your soul thatsomething, something just ain't right.You don't want to be just well adjusted to injustice
and well adapted to indifference. You want to be a person with integrity who leaves a mark on the world. People can say when you go that you left the world just a little better than you found it. I understand. I want to be like that too.
