Everyone should listen to Freestyle Fellowship's original... This was great, but Mikah 9's vocals are superior.. Great song..

Olha lá, oh José, acho o teu vídeo indecente! A aproveitares-te dos sem abrigo para promover a tua música. Vais-me dizer que o fizeste porque tens muita peninha dos vagabundos, coitadinhos e tal. Se os lucros do teu álbum revertessem a favor deles é que era de valor. Mas isso já não, não é José "Amigo" dos pobrezinhos? Quero também deixar aqui props para o meu migo Mãozinhas que denunciou este crápula.
