Though the text itself is undoubtedly sourced from an interview with Amo Bishop Roden, the voice heard in the song is most likely not taken from the original sample, or simply too processed to confirm its source. Additionally, despite the full sample of Roden speaking appearing on the [[Slag_Boom_Van_Loon_-_Poppy_Seed|Poppy Seed remix]], as of yet an isolated source of the sample has not yet been found.</ref> |
