This is like the most powerful, political protest song that I've ever heard..and it's one of my favorites. The song is about how in '99 the NYPD police gunned down a 23 year old unarmed Guinea man named Amadou Diallo, after he was mistaken for an unidentified rapist....the four officers were acquitted of all charges. Badu wrote the elegy for Diallo (hence his initials in the song) and this is a video of her performing it live.. & if you haven't gotten a chance to see her perform live you are really missing a show.
