A young black man with a trimmed beard is sitting in a Lexus automobile listening to music. His eyes are closed and his head is nodding in rhythm with the music. We see a close-up of the side of his face as the caption reads, "John Legend". He's talking to us about the music he's listening too. The song is Backlash Blues by Nina Simone (written by Langston Hughes). The lyrics we hear in the background are: "All you got to offer is your mean old white backlash but the world is big big and bright and round and it's full of folks like me who are black, yellow, beige and brown Mr. backlash, I'm gonna leave you with the blues." There are various changing shots of John Legend describing the music while sitting in the Lexus. A caption reads, "This is music you can see." Another reads, "This is Lexus digital sound imaging, found only in the Mark Levinson system." There's a shot of the car's front corner on the outside. Finally, a screen that shows the Lexus logo and the slogan, "The pursuit of perfection".

All you got to offer... When this song comes on, you immediately feel it. The groove kind of builds from something minimal. It kind of chugs along. It's like a train that's building up steam. And, as the energy is just gathering and gathering. you feel like it's going to explode sooner or later. And, you just feel like, she's not going to take it anymore.
