When it comes to epic throwback videos, this might be one of the best!!
Monday was MLK Day, which led Kim Kardashian to post an adorable vintage video of her husband Kanye West reciting a poem he wrote in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. wayyy back in 1990.
Sure, she posted it a day late, but that doesn’t make it any less cute!!
Kimmy tweeted the link with the following caption:

Awww, how sweet!
In the video, a 12-year-old Yeezus shows how passionate he’s always been while reciting his composition titled “His Name Means Love.”

The words are as follows:
“A man who fought for freedom/ A man who fought for equality/Those who were against him/ Were too blind to see/ What this man was fighting for/ So Blacks, Hispanics, Jews and Asians could put their foot in the door/ Yes, we know that this man is great/ That’s why today we celebrate/ Everyone lifts their voice and sing/ For a man who wanted freedom to ring / Martin Luther King is who I’m speaking of/ A man whose name means love.”
So talented at such a young age! He was obviously destined for stardom.
