Haile Selassie

Haile Selassie
released in 2014 on the mixtape, Lost in the Atlantic.
Featuring Nikki Jean

Haile Selassie, imperatore d'Etiopia, deposto durante l'occupazione italiana e poi tornato al potere, non fu certo un esempio di sovrano illuminato, ma il suo governo - nonostante molte ombre - si distinse anche per un impegno autentico per la pace e i diritti umani. Il discorso riportato in una delle strofe di questa canzone è alla base della famosissima War di Bob Marley.
[Chorus: Nikki Jean & Lupe Fiasco]

Now, and we heard tonight Dr. Gino Strada […] tell us that the victims that he takes care of in the hospitals [..] are 90% civilians, 30% of them children. In a situation like this, war cannot be accepted... (Continues)

American Terrorist III
(2011)
Testo da genius

Con campionamenti da “Nightcall” di Kavinsky

Un veterano della guerra in Iraq o in Afghanistan torna in patria con un PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). Ignorato da tutti, diventa un terrorista. O forse vuole sole rovesciare il governo che l'ha mandato in guerra?
