This song had that funky sound but it also scared the crap out of me at ten years old. Looking at the lyrics now, I see why. This was a masterpiece and probably prevented more than a few runaways.I never heard the long version. This was really psychedelic! Motown had issues with Whitford and Strong writing these kind of songs but as a child of the sixties, reality was what I wanted to hear. Wish there were more artists singing and rapping with this kind of consciousness now.
