“1000 Light Years From Here” (often erroneously referred to as “1000 Light Years Away”) is the fourth track on the 2021 posthumous album Welcome 2 America, although elements of this song had been interpolated into “Black Muse” on 2015’s Hit n Run Phase Two.

“1000 Light Years From Here” is a catchy, upbeat song with dark, serious lyrics about the unattainability of the American Dream for people of color.
