the album's style and themes are exemplified by the bookending track "peace go with you, brother", with scott-heron's bluesy, jazzy vocals and afrocentric lyrics accompanied by jackson's soulful piano arrangements. it features a dreamy, moody soundscape, produced by jackson's rhodes electric piano, which evokes the "in a silent way"-era jazz of miles davis. "peace go with you, brother" has scott-heron criticizing the selfishness of certain members of his generation, as well as people for forgetting their common humanity. the song continues to examine the significance of a person's cultural roots, regardless of where they prove to blossom. "rivers of my fathers" is the album's longest track and features drummer bob adams' swing-style drum rim shots and pianist jackson’s wide, blocky chords, play in a blue-influenced style. scott-heron uses the water motif, a common metaphor in african-american culture, to evoke feelings of home and freedom and represent faith, amid the frustrations of a modern black man. as the opening verse and chorus suggest, "looking for a way out of this confusion/i'm looking for a sign, carry me home/let me lay down by a stream and let me be miles from everything/rivers of my fathers, could you carry me home." the narrator beseeches the "river" to deliver him home, which is revealed at the last seconds of the song as scott-heron silently whispers "africa".
