The song opens with a vocal sample of American religious leader and political activist Louis Farrakhan[5] at a Non-Aligned Movement meeting.

Brothers and sisters, it is with great honor and privilege that I present to you the leader of the El Fatah revolution... From Libya, our brother Muhammar El Kahdafi.[6]
