EVEN AFTER 30 YEARS I STILL GET GOOSEBUMBS A KILLER TUNE

This is a fantastic version of this song.
Definitely! I like it better than the album version, as there's more passion there.
Underrated Rapper!!! i love this.
Back when Franti was Franti! Now he's just franti.
Fabulous Franti
I first listened to Michael and Spearhead in Atlanta, 1994
The radio station ran by Georgia Tech 88.5 WREK was jamming "hole in my bucket" I was 24.
As the years passed by I enjoyed his and thier catalog particularly "Oh my God" I knew then we were raised by the same tribe different members, and I wanted to see them live.
My chance has arrived.
September 2, 2022 full circle as I will be attending his show in Palm Beach County Florida.
I'm blessed.
Hopeful that he will perform "oh my God "
Thanks for the therapy!
Hole in the Bucket is a great song. Gas Gauge kills me every time I hear it. I know he went very positive and family friendly in more recent years but I still love his music.
@Renee Wentz thanks for sharing, I too enjoy the new stuff.
@Renee Wentz by the way, cute profile photo
Love this rendition of the song!!!
I love you man! 🙏
And all the artists you work with, of course!
With your barefoot, tall self. And you hugged me like a big brother would hug his sister. That was beautiful. The show was amazing.
Serendipity. My now ex-husband and I were driving from Madison, WI to Las Vegas for his childhood spoiled ass friend wedding. (After that California for parents, brother, grandparents, uggg). I believe it was Wyoming, with tumble weeds and all the friggin boringness. We stopped at a gas station and I found something interesting, a Spearhead CD. Never seen nor heard of them but I liked the cover. Played it in the vehicle. Hooked. Home, bought everything I could find. One of the highlights of my life was getting a beautiful huge from this giant man in Madison, Wi in 2001. A tiny bar, but this mostly was the band. Except there was an awesome guy, Radio. It was amazing. I went alone.
WOW!!! Blessings in the house no doubt!!!
I think Oh My God is my favorite song great message
Underviewed.
Fantastic
Love it!

Lyrics:
Oh-my, oh-my God!
Out here mama they got us livin' suicide
Singin' oh-my, oh-my God!
Out here mama they got us livin' genocide
Slam bam I come unseen
But like gasoline you can tell I'm in the tank
Like money in the bank
I smell appealing, but I'm toxic, can send ya reeling
Without an inklin', keep ya thinkin'
'cause you gave cash to the feds, left your school district for dead
Fucked you up in the head, but still they sayin' nothin's wrong
Sellin' firewater but outlawing the bong
Still believing the system is workin'
While half of my people are still outta workin'
Anonymous notes left in the pockets and coats
Of judges and juries from 'Frisco to Jersey
Threats and protests politicians mob debts
Trumped up charges and phoney arrests
Stage a lethal injection, the night before the election
'cause he got donations from the prison guard's union
Oh-my, oh-my God!
Out here mama they got us livin' suicide
Singin' oh-my, oh-my God!
Out here mama they got us livin' genocide
Listen in to my stethoscope on a rope
International lullabies, human cries
Thumps and silence, the language of violence
Algorithmic, cataclysmic, seismic, biorhythmic
You can make a life longer, but you can't save it
You can make a clone an then you try to enslave it?
Stealin' DNA samples from the onborn
And then you comin' after us
'cause we sampled a James Brown horn?
Scientists who's God is progress
A four-headed sheep is their latest project
The CIA runnin' like that Jones from Indiana
But they still won't talk about that (Jim) Jones
(People's Temple mass suicide) in Guyana
This ain't no cartoon
No one slips on bananas
Do you really think that that car killed Diana
Hell I shot Ronald Reagan, I shot JFK,
I slept with Marilyn (Monroe) she sung me happy birthday
Singin'
Oh-my, oh-my God!
Out here mama they got us livin' suicide
Singin' oh-my, oh-my God!
Out here mama they got us livin' genocide
Well politicians got lipstick on the collar
The whole media started to holler
But I don't give a fuck who they screwin' in private
I want to know who they screwin' in public
Robbin', cheatin', stealin'
White collar criminal
McDonald eatin', you deserve a beatin'
Send you home a weepin', with a fat bill for your
Caribbean weekend
For just about anything they can bust us
False advertising sayin' "halls of Justice''
You tellin' the youth don't be so violent
Then you drop bombs on every single continent
Mandatory minimum sentencin'
'cause he got caught with a pocket fulla medicine
Do that again another ten up in the pen
I feel so mad I want to bomb an institution
Singin'
Oh-my, oh-my God!
Out here mama they got us livin' suicide
Singin' oh-my, oh-my God!
Out here mama they got us livin' genocide
One of the best 2meters. Listen to the lyrics...
Stealin' DNA samples from the onborn
And then you comin' after us
'cause we sampled a James Brown horn?
Great song and a wonderful performance. What's the name of the guy on the keyboards?
What're was this recorded? It looks exactly like that Madison bar
