It is said that those who suffer are closer to Christ. In Fr. Stan Fortuna's music video, Everybody Got 2 Suffer (originally called "Everybody Got To Suffer"), human suffering is depicted onscreen by both the rich and the poor.
The music video itself is roughly five and a half minutes (5:34) long, spanning over the urban landscape of New York, cemeteries, parks, the Ghetto, a rich man's mansion, and others. Fr. Stan uses the socially-odious medium of a rap (hip-hop music, a genre most closely associated with inner-city youth, especially minorities) to communicate against the message that "suffering is essentially bad." According to the music video, no one can escape suffering, because the world is full of sin and it constantly tests our faith.
Note that there is more to this DVD than simply the five minute music video. In fact, there is over an hour of Fr. Stan's teachings, as he spells out ("breakin' it down") Pope John Paul II's Apostolic Letter on the Christian meaning of human suffering in ten explosively religious segments. Fr. Stan encourages people to read the Apologetic Letter for themselves, even to a point where he announces the exact Internet location and price, but he also takes special care to explain the Letter's meanings personally, using a particularly urban vernacular and argot. He voices the teaching in a dialect that is easy for some youth and urban dwellers to understand.
Bonus Features include the original one-minute trailer (for the five-minute music video), a jam-packed behind-the-scenes feature explaining how the concept and production of Everybody Got 2 Suffer came about, and a wildly exciting story board slide show. If you're a fan of Fr. Stan Fortuna, or of rap music, or of God, this DVD is sure to give you a heart-touching and heartwarming experience while being unique presented in an all-too urban style.
Everybody Got 2 Suffer Lyrics:
Ya - feel it
don't be afraid - feel it
You think that you the only one that gotta suffa?
You think that you the only one with pain t'suffa?
Everybody gotta thing they gotta suffa
Richo' poe don't matter gotta suffa
Verse I:
Rich man goes to the doctor gonna find out
All the rich food he ate gonna make him die o' gout
Wife and kids are cryin - sufferin' the pain
Wonderin' if they don't change - gonna die the same
Woman's man is dead and gone - got no mo' salary
Take her honey's Van Gogh to the art gallery
She gotta try to find some other things that she can sell
Now she knows how it feels livin' in single parent hell
What about the woman ten kids in the ghetto-hood
The rich woman understands her sister did the best she could
Getting kicked around prostitution smokin' crack
She had to work the streets makin' money lyin' on her back
The two are now connected with all that they been thru
They seen the good that come from sufferin - they changed their point of view
It's gonna come to me
It's gonna come to you
Everybody's got some sufferin they gotta go thru
You think that you the only one that got to suffa? (Ain't just you, foo!)
You think that you the only one with pain to suffa? (Everybody)
Everybody gotta thing they gotta suffer
(Richo' Poe) Richo' poe don't matter gotta suffa
You think that you the only one that gotta suffa? (Ain't just you, foo!)
You think that you the only one with pain to suffa? (Everybody)
Everybody gotta thing they gotta suffa
(Richo' Poe) Richo' poe don't matter gotta suffa (...Everybody)
Verse II:
Some brothas think that they was born only to die
Ready to die willin' to kill and crucify
With the make believe fantasy violent life of a thug
They didn't realize it was their own grave that dey dug
With vulgar intelligent rhymes they confuse
On the same CD they wonder if God will excuse
Fascination guns clips and chicks I can't explain
But I know they all be sufferin'
Can't deal with the pain
Every move they make is a calculated step
It brings them one step closer to embrace an early death
Lookin' back one brother wished he was killed as a baby
They all trapped in a thug storm - it got em goin' crazie
Some a y'all got gifts I give props for ya skill
Gotta chill - be still - knock off the thrill to kill
Too much talent - already been wasted
I thank God for y'all - know you're appreciated
You think that you the only one that got to suffa? (Ain't just you, foo)
You think that you the only one with pain to suffa? (Everybody)
Everybody gotta thing they gotta suffa
(Richo' Poe) Richo' poe don't matter gotta suffa
You think that you the only one that got to suffa? (Ain't just you, foo)
You think that you the only one with pain to suffa? (Everybody)
Everybody gotta thing they gotta suffer
(Richo' Poe) Richo' poe don't matter gotta suffa (...Everybody)
Verse III:
I don't think the thug thing is cool I think the thug thing is cold
Check out what happened to the boy in the park he was just eight years old
A thug drug dealer chasin' down another thug brotha
Ran into the park there was the boy with his mutha
For the sake of frontin' bluntin' presidential Benjamin greed
The kid caught a stray in the face and started to bleed
That Saturday - a tragic day - a boy had to die
What do you say to the mother when she come screamin' why
They entertain platinum violence kids get slain its insane
2-pac and Biggie and the boy it's a constant refrain
Pray to abstain from the lie sustain the truth
We got to come together y'all we loosin' mad youth
Pain is a part of life it's somethin' we all feel
Give yo time and yo money to da needy keep it real
Sufferin' is like a good thief it gives no warnin
Let's stop playin' the game, fa real, God is callin'
You think that you the only one that got to suffa? (Ain't just you, foo)
You think that you the only one with pain to suffa? (Everybody)
Everybody gotta thing they gotta suffa
(Richo' Poe) Richo' poe don't matter gotta suffa
You think that you the only one that got to suffa? (Ain't just you, foo)
You think that you the only one with pain to suffa? (Everybody)
Everybody gotta thing they gotta suffa
(Richo' Poe) Richo' poe don't matter gotta suffa (...Everybody)
