    Euphoria the HBO tv show brought me here, I’m listening to this song and I’m like this sounds familiar. I immediately Shazam the song and Curtis Mayfield “Think” came up. Beyoncé sampled this for her song “Resentment”.

In the original movie Superfly, Priest wanted to get out the drug game and change his life, he had to make a decision! Such is this thing called LIFE! RIP Curtis Mayfield..
