“Friends tell her ‘He could be another Malcolm’
‘He could be another Martin’
She told em’ parter
‘I need husband more than the world need another martyr’”
This bar gave me fucking chills
they go so fucking endlessly hard you cant explain. mike is undescribable
Thats kinda cool, but when you understand she was being a little selfish. The world need him? I dont care, I need a husband
@@gabrielcesar96 the world is not a better place for Malcolm being murdered. Him actually being able to age to middle/old age and actually get to raise his kids and lead the next generation and continuing his on intellectual development past the young age of 39 would have been better then being MURDERED. what exactly do you think the murder of Malcolm X accomplished??
@@gabrielcesar96 such is the duality of our existence. Mike is a genius. So is El-P
@@gabrielcesar96besides the point the people typically don’t care what happens to their leaders so fuck ‘em, a family deserves their parents
The Yankee and the Brave bonus track at the end sounds like the hardest TV show theme song I’ve ever heard 👉🏼🤛🏿
I would have watched the shit out o that in my childhood in the 80ies
Like a modern day Dukes of Hazard...
Due to my UA-cam ADHD I'm just now hearing the bonus track and I almost clicked to the next song.
Vina
Yessir
Lost my mother two weeks ago and these lyrics hit me extremely hard on the way to work and I broke down:
"When my mother transitioned to another plane I was sitting on a plane
Tellin' her to hold on and she tried hard but she just couldn't hang
Been two years, truth is I'll probably never be the same
Dead serious, it's a chore not to let myself go insane"
Hug your moms, life is short.
Going through the exact same thing right now... this song helping me get through my loss too
Also lost my mom about 6 weeks ago, those lyrics hit me like a gut punch every time too
God Bless may the world unfold for you and life become forever fruitful
After 38 years of a great marriage and friendship I lost my wife, Jackie, to cancer November last after watching her starve to death the previous 3 months of hospice
Because you're right HUG EVERYONE YOU LOVE often.
I am so sorry for ALL your losses! I hope and pray for nothing but the best for all of you in this comment thread! Keep your heads up! Much love to you all! ✌🏼💙➕🥺🙏🏼
“This is for the do-gooders that the no-gooders, used and then abused
For the truth-tellers tied to the whipping post, left beaten, battered, bruised
For the ones whose body hung from a tree like a piece of strange fruit
Go hard, last words to the firing squad was, “Fuck you too,'”
Some of the coldest bars of the millennium tbh
Exactly.

That reminds me, i haven't listened to strange fruit this week.

Easily the best fucking song on RTJ4
RTJ makes you look like a psycho. Bopping to the beat with tears in eyes from the lyrics.
My cat was concerned
My mum was concerned
For real tho 🔥
haahaha exactly
That’s On Everything
“If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.”
― Frederick Douglass, Frederick Douglass: Selected Speeches and Writings
@SoundboyEric Or governors and mayors ignoring the murders of black people as though it's just an inconvenience to their reelections.
Pure shame
@SoundboyEric You are out of the loop. There are massive peaceful protests going on all over the world and in every state. Don't let the media trick you into thinking everyone who's standing up to vile corruption and state violence are criminals.
@SoundboyEric Way to paint a broad brush and ignore that the majority are peaceful protesters. Dumbass.
Fucking amen. Total and unconditional support for African Americans fighting for freedom in over now. Unconditional solidarity.
Daniel Duvalle You put out there what has always been and it has equal relevance today which says all you need to know...
The Revolution has an Official Soundtrack
They would have this song on the divergent:insurgent soundtrack
alright
I know the whole album is out but i can't even get past this track, one of the best tracks of all time imo.
I get the vibe that this is the last RTJ album from this track. Sure sounds like it at least, what a powerful close to a great album.
This month just got a little better
More like whole lot better
VERYYYYYYYY.
a little!?
3 days in 😂😂😂
This makes up for the whole first shitty half of 2020
Damn that sax
It's classy asf
How bout the buildup with the cello though? Or whatever string instrument that is. Just wow. This whole masterpiece has hit me like a ton of bricks. In a good way.
@@andreajohnson1212 I think it's just an orchestral synth hit, but its gradual crescendo with the lyrics building up is so excellent
That boyz n the hood feels
Yup
Damn, as a huge Bowie fan I've been waiting for sax solos to come back for quite some time. and that synth? Mmm.
Also this is THEE song and album for right now. Thanks guys. True poets.
was thinking the same thing
Mate! You read my mind too! Total Bowie sax vibe!
El plays sax...
Never tear us apart- inxs
I fucking wish I wouldnt have to raise my kids in a time where this music is essential for understanding how life works. Mike Render and Jaime the new Avengers.
I want a whole TV series about people summoning RTJ when they have no other hope, then the crew wafflestomping whatever the problem was before disappearing in a puff of smoke......
@B Basen I could totally see it as an Adult Swim-style cartoon, too
Yes
like they're fucking magicians!
RTJ-Team.
"Who ever noticed that the worst of us have all the chips" rtj you have no idea how much your music is appreciated. Genuine artist's
This is the masterpiece of the masterpiece.
In my opinion this is instantly one of run the Jewels greatest songs . It breaks the classic formula that they have been doing so well for years and elevates them to new heights .One of el ps best verses too
The way this song is constructed is pure brilliance. It tells a very precise story, even the instrumental section and the silly ending.
Context:
RTJ 4 is the story of a revolution, as told through the framing device of a television show called "Yankee And The Brave". Every song was part of the show. By the end of the album, our two heroes are literally in front of a firing squad about to be killed by the state.
The instrumental portion is initially meant to sound like they were executed, especially with the final words of Killer Mike. What the listener initially interprets as the sound of one's own death is interrupted by a television narrator.
This is just another episode. The heroes are still alive. How they survived is left up to interpretation, but I like to think that the instrumental portion represents a battle and a rescue.
Tonally, it's so bizarre but clearly intentional. The entire album straddles the line between rebellious hijinks and full-on anarchist teachings. By bookending the album with Yankee And The Brave, it not only provides an emotional palate cleanser after the super heavy themes of the last few songs, but it provides a sense of hope as well. Laughing in the face of a dystopian future, trivializing ones own near-death experience, treating all of this as though it's just another day in the life...I don't know. Something about that is just really powerful to me.
Who would've thought I'd see you here?
This was phenomenal. You should be bigger than Needle Drop
You nailed it, man. It's the best concept album in a looooong ass time. Perfect for current events and timeless in its execution.
I see you.
This is exactly what I get from El's production. Absolute master.
More relevant than ever right now
Man this one gave me the chills
For real!
The lyrics , the chords progression the calm... before the erupting saxophone singing your pain ...and gansta outro to console you.
Same
This song has so much raw feeling to it, and invokes so much emotion. I've been listening to this on repeat for a week now, and I think I figured out why that little "Yankee and the Brave" bit at the end gets me just as teary-eyed as the rest of the emotional points on this album. After El-P and Killer Mike basically sing what is something of a eulogy, their last words as they're staring down the 'firing squad' then transitioning to something that is more upbeat, but it's more than that. It's triumphant, it's victorious, it's a point of acknowledgement saying "This deck might be stacked against you, facing all the odds, but we're in this together, and nothing can stop us." I dunno just the thought of that, that we're all in this together, and we can beat the odds the systems have put against us. It makes me hopeful for the future.
Best of
"Last words to the firing squad was FUCK YOU TOO"
god man I love RTJ
I just got off the phone with the based department and I can confirm from the chief that this album is, in fact, it.
The fact the album is releasing at a time like this highlights just how important RTJ are today
WE NEEDED THIS TODAY!
They’re always ready to drop when protests and riots happen👉🤛🤔
@Adam Liges you too mate, stay gold 👉🤛
man they could've dropped this anytime in 2020 and it would seem right on time
Theres not a single a bad time for these guys. Period. Fuck with that
This song is genuinely about to make me cry.
Edit: This song DID make me cry. Seriously, I’m surprised this track hasn’t had as much recognition as most songs on this album, but what can you do when every song on this album is banger after BANGER.
What is your favorite RTJ song? Whichever one is playing at the moment!
Took me this long to understand why its Yankee and the Brave. NYC and Atl 🤦♂️ lmao
Oh shit i thought elp was the yankee and mike was the indian, but you right... Sports are ghey!
I don't know, but songs like this can trigger an event crisis, a point where you choose to endure the growing pains of growing or apathy. I'm so fucking thankful for this.
Things are happening. There’s no stopping it.
Haven't heard a bad verse from RTJ always quality music
What do we expect right? they be running and dropping Jewels everytime its tmie to drop an album..... in the booth and outside, which means so much more
Never THAT 😮
EL P WENT OFF ON THIS WHOLE ALBUM
He’s never gone this fucking hard before. This album put the braggadocio aside more often for actual messages, so there are less clever moments of flexing and side winking but front to back “fuck the system” injected with 1000 kilos of heart and soul. Jaime and Mike are forever intertwined, and they’re old enough to know they’ll never not be friends which is undeniably wholesome and beyond obvious from the way RTJ hasn’t dropped the ball, not even close. Such an important album. I think it’s my favorite already after less than a week of nonstop listening.
uhkingdom if you think he’s never went this hard before then I suggest you listen to his solo catalogue which is much better than anything he’s done w RTJ. His solo work is groundbreaking hip hop albums especially Fantastic Damage and I’ll sleep when you’re dead.
@@pdigi3179 The cold vein to start👌👌
P digi317 been a fan since fan dam, he goes hard in those but the extra heart in this makes how hard he’s going soar even further imo
Cameron Dolliver yeah the production Cold Vein is still ahead of its time.
So much pain in that sax fuck I'm crying
Maybe i'm just really high, but I cried at the end of this track.
dead sober, and still wellin-up by the halfway point in El's 1st verse.
Bruv, own it... this is some emotional shit in emotional times. ✊
Me to
Truth hurts but it also can heal
No. Im sober af and i did too.
"I need a husband more than the world needs another martyr" wow, that line is incredible
Edit: Definitely my favorite song on the album, brought tears to my eyes
That was powerful
@@hitman6191 These types of songs are always my favorites on their records. I love the bangers too but these make me ponder everything. I'm so happy to El and Mike get their overdue shine, it's been a long time coming. Two absolute legends!
I got goosebumps. I ain't even American or black.
I purchased the album and was delivering in my truck listening to it for the first time and almost had to pull over this song hit me so hard at that line.
All of their closing songs are so good.
RTJ4: the anthems of a new age
And the anthems of the new rage
@@billrobinsonmazda Took the words out of my mouth 👉🤛
❤️❤️❤️
And now the whole world's a stage
The streak of RTJ mashing it out of the park on the last track of every single album continues, some of their best - A Christmas Fucking Miracle / Angel Duster / Report to the Shareholders and now A Few Words - these guys really know how to close strong, amazing album, 2020 needed this.
This is going to be in the books for being the most important hip hop albums of all time.
Just you wait! This is legendary!
Killer Mike & El-P know just what the people need right now.
They always bring it. Killer Mike’s press conference was so fitting on Saturday.
I watched it a couple times, had to fight back tears. My man is too real. ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
Those words he spoke were, i just have no words to even describe.
You could literally feel him.
Idk why Mike was brought up but IDC, shit was real, he had something to say and he said it, king
yah i rmember when candice made him look like an idiot lol
[Verse 1: El-P]
I woke up early once again, that's four days straight
I didn't wake you, baby, I just watched you lay
In the radiation of the city sun
I am in love with you, it is my only grace (Woo)
You know how everything can seem a little out of place?
All of my life, that seemed to be the only normal state
So feelin' normal never really meant me feelin' sane
And bein' clear about the truth and bein' sane have never really been the same
I used to wanna get the chance to show the world I'm smart (Ha)
Isn't that dumb? I should've focused mostly on the heart
'Cause I seen smarter people trample life like it's an art
So bein' smart ain't what it used to be, that's fuckin' dark
You ever notice that the worst of us have all the chips?
It really kinda takes the sheen off people gettin' rich
Like maybe rich is not the holy, ever-lovin'
King of nothin' fuckers, know we know you're bluffin'
You are dealing with the motherfuckin' money-money runners
[Verse 2: Killer Mike]
It'd be a lie if I told you that I ever disdained the fortune and fame
But the presence of the pleasure never abstained me from any of the pain
When my mother transitioned to another plane, I was sitting on a plane
Tellin' her to hold on, and she tried hard, but she just couldn't hang
Been two years, truth is I'll probably never be the same
Dead serious, it's a chore not to let myself go insane
It's crippling, make you wanna lean on a cup of promethazine
But my queen say she need a king, not another junkie, flunky rapper fiend
Friends tell her, "He could be another Malcolm, he could be another Martin"
She told her partner, "I need a husband more than the world need another martyr"
Made in Atlanta, Georgia, where I use to ride the MARTA
With a empty .22 in the front pocket of my Braves Starter
Tryin' to make it out the mud as a baby father is much harder
The same children that you love and adore, the court'll use to break and rob ya
Circumstance woulda broke a weaker man, but I put it on my mama
I'm a man of honor and the hardship made me a better money runner
[Verse 3: El-P]
This is for the never heard, never even got a motherfuckin' word
This is for my sister, Sarah, honey, I'm so sorry you were hurt (Ayy)
This is for the dawn, mama took a knock, had to change the locks
Dusted up and brushed off and I watched, talk about a boss
For the holders of a shred of heart even when you wanna fall apart
When you're surrounded by the fog, treadin' water in the ice cold dark
When they got you feelin' like a fox runnin' from another pack of dogs
Put the pistol and the fist up in the air, we are there, swear to God
[Verse 4: Killer Mike]
Black child in America, the fact that I made it's magic
Black and beautiful, the world broke my mama heart, and she died an addict
God blessed me to redeem her in my thoughts, words, and my actions
Satisfaction for the devil, goddammit, he'll never, ever have it
This is for the do-gooders that the no-gooders used and then abused
For the truth tellers tied to the whippin' post, left beaten, battered, bruised
For the ones whose body hung from a tree like a piece of strange fruit
Go hard, last words to the firing squad was, "Fuck you too"
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro: Matt Sweeney, Matt Sweeney & A$AP Ferg, A$AP Ferg]
This is the story of a couple of small-time hustlers
Framed by crooked cops and forced to make a run for their lives
Nothin' but a bag of money, a stolen Buick Grand National
And each other to their names
They ain't friends, exactly
These guys have a better chance of killin' each other
Than beatin' the odds
No sir, they're brothers, and when the chips are down
I really don't think you wanna bet against
Yankee and the Brave (Brave, Brave, Brave, Brave)
Yankee and the Brave (Brave, Brave, Brave, Brave)
Yankee and the Brave (Brave, Brave, Brave, Brave)
Yankee and the Brave (Brave, Brave, Brave, Brave)
Yankee and the Brave (Brave, Brave, Brave, Brave)
Yankee and the Brave (Brave, Brave, Brave, Brave)
Oh, Yankee and the Brave (Brave, Brave, Brave, Brave)
Yankee and the Brave (Brave, Brave, Brave, Brave)
That saxophone solo is giving me crazy chills... this entire track does actually.
This album is great....
I need this. We needed this. The world needs this
and as always, our guys delivered. jewels up homie
Dude everyone dropped something and it is really what needed to happen
u feel me?
love
America needs these guys. Can we have copresidents?
I don't like how we act like Kanye West is Hip Hop's impenetrable musical genius when EL-P exists.
Church.
*Killer Mike and El-P
FTFY
Stop. They're both great.
Not trying to be hip here but honestly El-P been dope since Company Flow, definitive jux days, the Cold Vein. Painfully underrated for years and only now getting his due because of RTJ.
I wouldn't say "we" I have literally never liked Kanye West
Masta Ace
Wordsworth
Stricklin
Punchline
Brother Ali
Killer Mike
EL-P
the whole of Doomtree
Are all top notch in my opinion
Confession: I like the last bit enough to wish it was a whole song.
IMO: It sounds like a (catchy) parody of a cheesy sitcom intro.
In a better timeline, Yankee and the Brave would be a plot leak for GTA 6.
idk what that other guy's on about but now i really want to play as killer mike and el-p, running around and fuckin the cops up

Do you read?
@@michaelcomer1645 Are you trying to imply he/she missed the meaning?
@@TheSilence1 he,s spitting ideas... i'm certain RTJ wants us to think on our own
the greatest honor is to expand on what the author wrote
question even!!!
Made it through the whole album intact, got to this song and started crying. "For the owners of a shredded heart even when you wanna fall apart." Line of the year along with, "The world broke my momma heart and she died an addict."
Made me feel their pain and reflect on my own. Had to shed a couple tears for not just my pain but the years of it that we've all felt for a long, long time. I'm a bitch lol
Me too. I love this album. I got to this song and teared up and then cried. The lyrics. The music. That mother fucking ending.
Reading this comment as my eyes are welling up. Tear this shit down. From the inside.
Facts. Killer Mike crushes it, and my heart. "It'd be a lie..." dope AF
Funny, I broke down first track and cried all the way thru. Tears of joy, rage, and sadness alternating.
Don’t worry about being a bitch. Being a bitch is not being able to say what you said and holding it in and making your harder and more emotional. Say what you feel and you’ll see that we all feel the same. We all bitches right now. This song is a spiritual release. This album is a masterpiece. 10/10.
Let's fucking goOOOO
WOAH It’s Zalinki uWu
wasnt expecting to see zalinki but its lit
soon
Run the jewels is here and "they can never tear us apart"
Shit gave me chills when Killer Mike says, "Dead serious, it's a chore not to let myself go insane
It's crippling, make you want lean on a cup of promethazine
But my queen say she need a king, not another junkie, flunky rapper fiend" Drugs are so glorified with all the younger kids. Rapper after rapper dying from drugs. This resignates with me because ive been there!! Coming up on 13 years total.. Thank you RTJ
don't forget "I need a husband more than the world needs another martyr" genius
Haven’t been this happy since Christmas 2016
They have finally returned, when we needed them most. Have a nice day 👉👊
kiewanface you too my fellow jewel runner stay blessed stay safe and stay grinding
It's a motherfucken early Christmas miracle!!
bro this song will play when the world ends or when it will be born anew.
RTJ FOR LIFE
I love the rtj “state of the world” album closers. Like they really come from the heart and leave you feeling empowered
I can just imagine kendrick lamar just absolutely tearing up the jazz instrumental
no
Damn I got chills just reading that
God that’d be so dope
The jazz instrumental is a solo by el p. You can't hear him rappping but thats him letting you just listen to the music for once.
RTJ 4
Let's go!!!
no one's talking about that yankee and the brave outro???
I can’t get it out of my head. It’s haunting
That shit is dope
pinky and the brain😁
So dope!!!
I'd pay for an album from them in style. Granted, I'd pay for any kind of album from them.
Everyone:"Yankee and the Brave"
My brain: "Pinky and the Brain"
Instantly (and on purpose)
Cannot un-hear
TOTALLY
Holy shit fuck me dead mate🤣🤣 I was unprepared/too high for that
Not to be ‘that guy’ buuuuuuut

This whole album is amazing. Every word, every beat, I felt it. 2020's anthem👉🏾🇿🇦🔥🤛🏾
🤘🤘🏻🤘🏼🤘🏽🤘🏾🤘🏿
You know it's a good album when you don't want the last song to end until the next one comes and as soon as the last track ends you find yourself right back here. This album is Dope AF!! Thank you RTJ!!
The indomitable human spirit, defeating the endless march of entropy:
The time is ripe for this to blow up. RTJ4 needs to be heard by everyone.
Today is a great day. RTJ4 baby
"put the pistol and the fist in the air, we are there, swear to god" is genuinely what i needed
I love it when they put saxophone in their music.
“Old dudes” KILLIN IT AGAIN!!!!!
RTJ4!!!!!
RTJ are the Public Enemy of the 2000s- except better. No one else could take a little tv on the radio, inxs beat and John Coltrane and make a masterpiece
Killer Mike is sooooooooooooooooooooo dope......people better RECOGNIZE! And the saxophone piece....mannnnnnn! Get em' Killa' Kill!....100%
Yess Don’t forget bout El-P!!
The last song of all the RTJ albums always crush, Angel Duster from RTJ 2 being my favorite. But man this song rocks my soul.
Christmas Fucking Miracle, Angel Duster, Report to the Shareholders/Kill Your Masters, A Few Words for the Firing Squad...yeah. If there’s anything El-P and Mike know how to do is close out an album with a raw and emotionally resonant track with fantastic production.
To describe a song as pure fire has been cheapened by overuse of the unworthy. This song is the Interim Magnum Opus of the Yankee and the Brave, and will remain king until RTJ5 or the end of the age. Bravo!
The beat literally makes the sun rise..EL-P is God
Lord forgive us, the terrible things we did to earn a voice like Killer Mike
Dark side of the moon saxophone
I thought the same listening to this. Def took me on a journey.
you mean pink floyd?
@@zapantalambda Yes
Did he layer Floyd with INXS? Whatever it is, fucking loving it.
@@comstock79 it's not an INXS sample it just sounds similar
Thank you guys for this, seriously. My brain needs it
What an amazing producer El-P is. One of the GOATS
This is incredible. Made me wanna sing, cry, fight, dance and scream, all at a time. Chapeau.
Thank you. We really needed this right now.
Love from MN.
MN love comin back from CO. My wife is MPLS native, whole family and all our friends are there. Stay strong, use this music. We are with you. 💜
Jesus! The beat is just disgusting 🔥
Thank you El-P
It's so sick I might need a 'rona check later.
I got to see this live a few days ago in Milwaukee. I am still in awe. I tried to hold back the tears but these lyrics are too good and relevant. Much love to my favorite group of all time.
RTJ4 should be the soundtrack of the revolution
My grandma just passed away...I listen to this thinking about her...I love you My Queen 👑 😔 Thank You Mike And El...I appreciate your music because it's helping me cope right now...
the fact that rtj4 is being dropped in the midst of this chaos and police brutality is extremely fitting
black lives matter
* all *
No, it's not all lives matter, all lives can only matter when black lives do too, because other lives already matter as long as black lives still don't, it's wildly untrue to say that all lives matter, because they obviously don't yet.
@@zeo1087 Man you have to be soo high.
@@Flohhupper uhh what? 😂
@@zeo1087 I mean the same goes for the phrase "Black lives matter". Black lives don't matter enough yet in countries like America. There's still plenty of racism.
Though the phrase isn't true everywhere, you're expressing an opinion with it. That is also true for All lives matter. It is trying to say the same thing. That we are all equal.
5:50 this will always go hard, i need an extended cut of this
That sax towards the end... like a ton of bricks! This whole joint is powerful
I ran to this song. I'm at a low state of mind and I'm constantly disappointing myself. I do basic exercise and run to keep my mind on track, as some kind of way of coping. This song came on during one of these runs and I couldn't stop. RTJ f-cking rocks.
Funny enough, I got done and stop at my door when the last part came on lol love when stuff like that happens :)
Best album this year , in all categories, the journey how effortlessly took me from track to track was perfect.. from 1st track to the last ...10/10 best MUSIC album all categories not just hip hop .. classic
Yeah its crazy how even the end of this track leads back to track #1.
Just leave it on repeat forever!
Umong this pandemic, we have this jewel made of liquid fire.
Damn destiny check
Godspeed brothers & sisters.
Mr. E ???
This is the kind of album where every song is better than the last, then you restart the album and the pattern doesn't start over... just better and better with every minute listened. THANK YOU RTJ.
This is an amazing track. I normally only listen to black and post metal, never really having come into contact with hip hop before, but my first serious foray into the genre with RTJ has been eye-opening. Where has this been all my life?
RTJ4 soundtrack to the revolution.
👉👊
Yep, they've done it again. This album was one hell of a ride and made 2020 a whole less shitier, which is quite an achievement!
This is probably my favorite track on RTJ4, easily the one I come back to the most!
Wish it was longer. This song makes me want to NEVER give up on life.
Finally!! RTJ 4, tears of joy 😭😍😍😍😍
This song is perfect.
This song hits me in my fucking heart. Killer Mike takes the pain of being Black in America, and just puts it all into his lyrics in this song. I cry almost every time I hear it. Thank you RTJ for helping me access the complex thoughts and feelings I have, but can't quite put into words.
This song could not have dropped at a more poignant moment, and the mixing on this track gives me chills.
I hear instrumental inspiration from INXS - Never Tear Us Apart, and the Peter Gabriel cover of David Bowie's Heroes. Combining the messages of these three songs together..............................damn.
Let's gooo! Really needed this in light of last week. 👉🏾🤛🏾 Thanks Killer Mike and El-P, hope your feeling better Mike. Stay strong.

Every RTJ song makes me feel like it's my timeless duty and obligation to bite this goddamned world in half.
Ahead of it's time and nobody never realizes that till now.
