This is just the nasitest song ever made. It makes me want to run through a wall.
Yes, it was used in a Nike commercial a while back - but Saul Williams reason for doing so was (paraphrasing) "as an artist, if I don't make money, I can't get my message out - even if my message is counter-culture. Using Nike as a vehicle to get my art out to more people is more beneficial to me than it is to Nike. My song isn't going to help them sell more shoes. Nike's commercial is going to help me sell more records."
EDIT: Naturally the day after I link to this, embedding has been disabled. For those of you who wish to see this in all of its youtube glory, here's a link.
