List of Demands


This is the one of the sickest videos I have ever seen, so I thought I should share it with you. It gets me so amped up to want to go work out, smash tennis balls, or just to be or do better. In case you have not seen it before here it is. Nike used it as theirs for a while to promote their products. The song is by Saul Williams and it is called List of Demands in case you are interested in downloading it. The true video is a little odd, and ruined the song for me. The Nike Video does it true justice. The intro is with Ladanian Tomlinson in case you were curious. The video is sharp, arrogant, and competitive. I enjoyed the video so much I looked up the lyrics. Here is 60 seconds of the lyrics...

I want my money back. I'm down here drowning in your fat. You got me on my knees praying for everything you lack. I ain't afraid of you. I'm just a victim of your fears. You cower in your tower praying that I'll disappear, I got another plan, one that requires me to stand. On the stage or in the street, don't need no microphone or beat. And when you hear this song, if you ain't dead then sing along. Bang and strum to these here drums til you get where you belong. I got a list of demands written on the palm of my hands. I ball my fist and you're gonna know where I stand. We're living hand to mouth! You wanna be somebody? See somebody? Try and free somebody? I gotta list of demands written on the palm of my hands. I ball my fist and you're gonna know where I stand. We're living hand to mouth! Hand to mouth!
