JMT Feat' Ra The Rugged Man - Uncommon Valor (A Vietnam Story)



Lyrics in video


It's the true story of his fathers (or grandfather's?) experience & tales of his time as a U.S soldier in the Vietnam war & it doesn't pull punches or sugar coat the reality of war the effects of agent orange or the psychological changes his pops went through...

Blackalicious Featuring Ben Harper - Brainwashers

Brainwashers
It’s when you think how they wanna think
Speak how they wanna speak, Livin’ in defeat
When you don’t wanna question what they teach, as the truth
With no proof, with the fear of burnin’ in eternal heat
When your programmed not to be your own man, but a sheep
Bein’ heared as they word it, so you think it ain’t free
When you sleep in a deep sleep standin’ on your feet
When your beat makin’ ends meat, raw, thin and they see

Raven. Esvee. Dialect & Despair. Prime. Social Change.
