One [N] of the most important things for us Third World to project through the years has been our feelings about our own people and our own situation around us.
We had related certain experiences that we know about through history.
96 degrees in the shade is a perfect example of that thought, because it's like the song itself is expressing a direct historical event, which was the hanging [A] of Paul Bowie.
But through even singing about that [N] event, we're showing the listener the whole thing of slavery, you know.
