Green music video for Cynthia McKinney

I just saw this video from "Some of All Parts", an underground hip-hop group from the Bay Area.
Some of All Part's debut song, "Run" was inspired by Cynthia McKinney and Rosa Clemente, two women of color currently running for President for the Green Party.

This group wants to deliver a message: "Vote the Green Party 2008. Cynthia McKinney for President! Run Cynthia Run."
This song is performed by Danny Velarde (producer, sound engineer), Carlos Bryant (piano, vocals, co-producer) and 5 Fifths/Joe Truss (rapper/emcee).
It also features voice samples from Rosa Clemente and Cynthia McKinney. This song reminds me a little bit of "Yes We Can" (see my blog of 09/17/08). It's nearly the same approach like the song from "Will.I.Am" (from "The Black Eyed Peas").

I really like this song, although I'm not much interested in hip-hop music. This song circulates as an insider tip on the internet.


"They tried to kick her out
She came right back,
America blacked out,
But she brought the light back.

You're the one - run cynthia run,
Shining like the sun - run cynthia run,
Your the one - run cynthia run,
The movement has begun - so run, run, run, run!"


"Run (historical moment)"
