I hate this kinda music but I found this song really sad so I deiced to lyricize it.

The writing process for this album was far more productive than it had been for Mother's Milk, with Kiedis stating, "[every day], there was new music for me to lyricize".

The points of the Somali star, printed on everything from the flag to matchboxes, stood in part for its irredentist claims on parts of Kenya, Djibouti and Ethiopia, and the country's traditionally prolific poets were instructed to lyricize these claims as the national dream.
