Trivia
- The song "War" is a cover of Bob Marley & The Wailers and features lyrics derived from a speech made by Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie I before the United Nations General Assembly in 1963.
- Sepultura also covered this song in their album Roots. This shouldn't be confused with Sepultura's song "War" from Morbid Visions.
- The video of the song "Still I Rise" is similar to the video of Sepultura's song "Attitude", also from Roots.
