This song and video were inspired by mankind’s atrocities to mother earth and humanity. It highlights the deceit practiced against African Americans to take away their farmland.

The title references the Special Field Order 15 (General Sherman, 1865), which set aside and reserved "...[t]he islands from Charleston south, the abandoned rice-fields along the rivers for thirty miles back from the sea, and the country bordering the Saint Johns River [Florida]..." for the settlement African Americans made free by by the Civil War. The history of the loss of those lands are just one example in a wider effort to deny prosperity to a racial group.

Nelson Mandela provides some context “For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.”
