“List of Demands (Reparations)” originally appeared on Saul Williams 2004 self-titled album. Concerning the intent of his lyrics Williams made the following annotation at Genius: “I’m tired of the bullshit. I’m tired of the hustle and the make-believe hustle. I’m tired of buying into ideas that divorce me from my potential. I’m tired of having my potential explained in terms of money. ”
The Kills covered it in 2018 and released a video for it on March 1st. Their version may be more accessible, but they maintain the call and response urgency of the original. The anti-corporate lyrical wallop still remains.
