Produced by Jake One.

This is the title track to my new album, Mourning in America and Dreaming in Color. The first half of the album highlights and critiques the dire situation in which we live. The second half outlines the tremendous opportunity we have to re-imagine and reform our society. This song is an observation and a critique of our culture of death and murder. From actual war zones around the world to our own inner cities where this summer's death rates rival war zones. I also address our national hypocrisy regarding violence. We have a zero tolerance policy of violence committed against us, but we're a lot more lenient and patient when it comes to the violence we commit. "A life is a life and a killer is a killer". -Brother Ali

I can't make it as a real rapper so I'll pretend I'm Muslim to get them fruitcakes on my side, bonus is loads of white rich kids will listen because they hate there own culture and country and I can send out Anti Western Propaganda ( by the way i love Civil war with Tech) where did the funding for this video come from? its just a good as any MTV video..

This is what the world needs. Someone who is brutally honest.not wannabe patriots that say the country is perfect because of its buildings and capitalist way of living.

Ali raps in such an amazing way.His voice and that insane delivery makes him sound like a political activist, trying to wake up the consumerist capitalist masses.10/10 better artist. than most popular rappers today.
