The song is takes a sample at one of Fela’s hit track which coincidentally is titled Fear not for man. Man must die so make sure you live your life right.
He preaches that we should be better people and understand that we are valuable, not because of money or a sexy body but we are valuable because they have been created by God. Mos D ef starts this song by giving a shout out to all his fans around the world and then he goes on to warn them about the coming of a new world order- the 21 st Century. The next time you ask yourself where hip hop is going, ask yourself where you are going, then you k n ow where hip hop is going. If you’ve been discriminated against, been put down /written off, lost hope because of your background, played by a pretty lady, or you’re just a socially conscious person, then this is the therapy you need.
I personally enjoyyyyed listening to this album. It is an extensive body of Work with 17 tracks to Mos Def’s credit. T he album paints a vivid picture of what it is to be black on both sides “upper class or lower class”. This album is Yasiin Bey a.k.a Mos D ef ’s first solo body of work.
