Hey Hey Hey - Michael Franti & Spearhead

Hey Hey Hey - Michael Franti & Spearhead
3:46
The Sound Of Sunshine, 2010
Written by Michael Franti

I've followed this guy since the Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy Days.  It's been quite the musical journey.  I'm glad he's past his faux-gangster days.  This song has a sort of Cali-reggae beat.  It's an infectious, fist-pumping anthem of positivity.  Even though there are gangs and guns and drugs, "There's a crack in the gutter where a flower grows / Reminding me that everything is possible."  And "Don't let nobody ever tell you that it couldn't be done / Don't let nobody ever tell you that we couldn't be one."
