This song is a recording of a Louis Farrakhan speech [Does anyone know the specifics?], set to an audio loop of a Marvin Gaye track (“T is for Trouble”).
In this speech, Farrakhan outlines the basic beliefs of the Nation of Gods & Earths, or the 5% Nation.
[Louis Farrakhan]
...The poor have been made into slaves by those who teach lies. They don't teach the law of cause and effect. They make the people believe when they see it rain, that a spook is producing it. But the rain is real, how then can the cause be unreal?
You are witnessing conditions in the world that are produced by real men, but you don't see the real cause of the effect of your own suffering. Because the Bloodsuckers of the poor make you think that God is some mystery God
Well, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad said to us that there is 5% who are the Poor Righteous Teachers, who don't believe the teaching of lies of the 10%. But this 5% are all wise and know who the true and living God is, and they teach that the True and Living God is the Son of Man, the Supreme Being, the Blackman of Asia. They are also known as Civilized People, Muslims, and Muslim Sons. Here is a small percentage of people who know God, and when they know God, they have a duty
And that duty is to teach what you know to those who do not know. Then, those of us...those of us who are in pursuit of that duty have 10%--the rich, the Bloodsuckers of the poor, the slavemakers of the poor--they hate the 5%. They have control over 85%. So they turn the 85% against the righteous teacher. This is how they've been able to kill the prophets, kill their communities. Because the leaders, who are the Bloodsuckers of the poor, have control over the minds of the masses, and they feed the masses more lies about a righteous teacher so that the Righteous Teacher will be persecuted by the 10%, not helped by the 85%, so that they can kill the Righteous Teacher
But a new thing is happening today...A new thing is happening today...
