The verse where he says "somebody should hand you a felony, because you stole from me my chance to be" is so deep. The whole song is so deep. He's a brilliant artist and performer. Every song he releases is so much... so much everything. It's not just what he says, but what he doesn't say. Like he compacts so much in under three minutes. That's extraordinary talent, and I thank God for blessing us with Leon.
i am a 20 year old black man. i am from deep in Africa. i was from a young age told i was free. Yet i dont feel free, instead i feel like the history of my ancestors was wiped from the sand of time. till today i am Forced to know ENGLISH or else all opportunities will be closed from me. in my history class i learned about hitler and nothing about my own people`s history. i feel oppressed in the land of my own forefathers. where in the universe will i run to? i see my black brothers and sisters being treated like no things all over the world. where i come from we have a hymn that says "our only sin is we are Black". On earth our culture is considered a sin. To cut my emotions of this song short. To the Creator be all the Glory.
Thank YOU, LEON!!!! This song needed to be made. I loved seeing y'all celebrate being together and dancing as a unit. Listen, black is beautiful. I only just realized that: "I don't care if they don't like us. I LOVE us." This song is perfect because it's only serves one purpose, it tells one story, one message. It's so clear and direct. Thank you, Leon. And thanks to everyone who showed up and appeared in the video and supported the effort. All of that. Much love and respect.
“Can’t feel peace with those judging eyes..” I’m not american but have lived my adult life as a black person in America.. the heaviness of judgement, bias, white rage, racism across every institution I have interacted with (education, healthcare, housing, banking and the list goes on) has overwhelmed me many times. We live under a weight and I thank God i can escape to my home country where I feel free and safe and seen .. this song is beautiful and I pray everyday that we can free ourselves from the powers and institutions that want us to remain beneath them.. that want to debase us.. I too am looking for a life much much much sweeter! Peace and love to this wonderfully magical community .. our light cannot be dimmed or diminished!
Can’t feel peace with dem judging eyes, FACTS FRFR, praying for a lot more SWEETER.. Thank You for this, this is the kind of music needed during these times positive, fueled some will never understand, in pray someday they will.
I don’t understand how he doesn’t get more love... If this generation had a better understanding of what a musician is this video would have 400M views
As you can see these generation is garbage and is all our fault we supposed to raise out kids differently than the non black community raised their kids if cardi b has millions of views and not these legend here???? We failed as parent of the next generation
Lyrics: Hoping for a life more sweeter Instead I'm just a story repeating Why do I fear with skin dark as night? Can't feel peace with those judging eyes I thought we moved on from the darker days Did the words of the King disappear in the air Like a butterfly? Somebody should hand you a felony 'Cause you stole from me My chance to be Hoping for a life more sweeter Instead I'm just a story repeating Why do I fear with skin dark as night? Can't feel peace with those judging eyes The tears of my Mother rain, rain over me My sisters and my brothers sing, sing over me And I wish I had another day But it's just another day Hoping for a life more sweeter Instead I'm just a story repeating Why do I fear with skin dark as night? Can't feel peace with those judging eyes Hoping for a life more sweeter
the solution is very simple: stop committing crime and you will not be "story repeating". the fact that someone else has something you cant afford doesnt mean you can go and take it just because your ancestors may or may not have been sold into slavery to white people by their African kings some 300 years ago. You still have to get up off your ass and go work for it, just like everyone else.
@@TheologyAsResistance you are a follower of lies, and you have to create more lies from the get go to support your narrative. I am a young person of color, indeed a conservative, so from the get-go you claim 2 out of 3 wrong, so very simply 66% of your "truth" is lies. Your ideological leaders call you a "useful idiot". Nevertheless, you are impressed by them and you think everyone else has to measure up to the multidimensional level bullshit they sell you and match up to the creativity of their deceit. I am stating facts based on crime statistics available to everyone(you may want to check 'em to educate yourself), and there is nothing to be creative or multidimensional about, unless you want to spin a lie based on the facts that do not fit your bullshit party-line.
I think this would be a wonderful opportunity to pause for a moment and give thanks for the great contributions of the Black community to our society. Their peaceful and generous nature makes them ideal neighbors, lending testimony to their exceptional family values and parenting skills, unrivaled by any other culture. Their commitment to academic excellence enriches our schools and serves as an example to all who hope to achieve prominence as a people. Real estate values are fueled by the mix of African Americans into an area, due to their caring and respectful nature in these communities, an example of all they have achieved through their enthusiasm for self- improvement by hard work and a self-reliant can-do nature. Without their industrious and creative drive, we would be poorer as a nation. ruclips.net/video/ghRO2jvdZvo/видео.html
The shot of the guys laying hands on him walking down the street when he says his family sang over him hits so hard. What a great video to go with this song, I love it.
We are all hoping for a life more sweeter right now. This song hits the nail on the head, especially in a time like now. Black men, black women and children need us, they need these words right now. Thanks Leon for delivering them. We need peace.
You sound dumb! Only 9 black men were killed by police.. while 28 white men were killed in all of 2019.. when will you stop being ignorant and see you’re being used as political pawns?? #blexit TRUMP 2020.. the race war is fake, it’s the Dems only option bc they chose Biden and he sucks.
I wish the rest of Texas would embrace his music. He was at the Rodeo several years ago and so many people complained. I went and saw him. Love his music.
Terrell Shaw Im born and raised in Waco and I've never heard of him but I'm feeling this. Normally with us Texans, it's always underground rap. It's not a lot of R&B singers. Years ago, there was a group from Dallas called Mike and Mike that had a song called "Still Hurt Over You". I thought they were going to make it but it was that one song.ruclips.net/video/NRqKRVNWhoM/видео.html&feature=share
(EVERY TIME!) I listen to this song 🎶 I (REALLY REALLY LISTEN TO THE WORDS!) and think of all that was done to my MELANATED ANCESTORS AND TO MY MELANATED PEOPLE TO THIS VERY DAY
My thoughts are with everyone going through the bitter but inevitable times..Don't give up!.The sweeter times are soon..I'm cheering everyone that needs this! all the way from Uganda💖🇺🇬🌞..Everyone Matters!
*DID THE WORDS OF THE KING DISAPPEAR IN THE AIR, LIKE A BUTTERFLY?* Deep in these times of unrest... That go back as far as the beginning of time... God help all skin dark and beautiful as the night for *JUSTICE*
Leon, I'm from El Paso Texas, I Have Family in all of Texas. I've lived near Fort Worth, Your hometown, I Believe that your music is very underrated and Deserves to be recognized Internationally, You ain't nothing like these modern day so called "Artists". Much Love from El Paso TX, 915🌟❤
I just saw this performed at the DNC Convention , just watched your video three times , great song , my eyes closed the second time , my neck hurts ! I'm listening another many times again now .
Young man Leon is truly blessed just needs to know he has to stand up to satan/his demon....May the Creator continue to bless him. There are demons, crabs, haters lurking that only wanna hear satanic music. They dont wanna hear a Angelic voice....🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
“The tears of my Mother rain, rain over me My sisters and my brothers sing, sing over me” broooooooo!!!! Song and video of the year! Flawless song, Leon Bridges is such a underrated gem I blessed to witness his genius

Ty Mr Leon BRIDGES! RIGHT TIME, RIGHT PLACE! I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING U LIFT UR VOICE UP WITH THIS SONG AT PEACEFUL PROTESTS!👊👏👍🙏
Psalm 28 1 Unto thee will I cry, O Lord my rock; be not silent with me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit. 2 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle. 3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace unto their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts. 4 Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavors: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert. 5 Because they regard not the works of the Lord, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up. 6 Blessed be the Lord, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications. 7 The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him. 8 The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed. 9 Save thy people and bless thy inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.
The subtle nature of this beat makes me feel a little eeri , but the message is so powerful and in-riching , my Soul is both inspired and crushed at the same time, my Heart goes out to everyone going through this struggle, the Lord is right around the corner , justice is coming soon ,One Love
You went deep and spoke the heart of the millions . We pay a heavy price for carrying this precious melanin! The message is resounding... it even transcends melanine and echoes a cry of the need to be human and be treated as such. It is a cry... ^ An Open Hope ^ LEOOOOOOOON BRO 🇯🇲 YOU'RE PROBABLY THE ONLY MUSCIAN I'D PAY TOO SEE...

LET US ALL LIFT OUR VOICES AS ONE & SING THIS DONG AT OUR PEACEFUL PROTESTING !👍👏👊🥂

Hoping for a life that's sweeter...we all are somebody..we all deserve the right to be....to exist equally.... no one person is better than anyone else ...omg please please lord help us...soften our hearts so we can love one another as we love ourselves.
You are a G.E.M, with an organic, raw, sensational, vib!!!!!! You have endowed your GOD gifted, pure, original, artistic, talented vocals upon us!!!! Thank GOD for the uplifting celebration of JUNETEENTH, presenting Black Excellence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This should have 30m views at least. Is it bad to say I'm glad he's not mainstream so to speak? He deserves all the credit in the world. Truly magical music.
Men ARE capable. I love that is prayer for sweetness is so much greater than just man and woman. Thanks Leon for showing the HEalthy power in overcoming this situation .❤💚

Lyrics: Hoping for a life more sweeter
Instead I'm just a story repeating
Why do I fear with skin dark as night?
Can't feel peace with those judging eyes
I thought we moved on from the darker days
Did the words of the King disappear in the air
Like a butterfly?
Somebody should hand you a felony
'Cause you stole from me
My chance to be
Hoping for a life more sweeter
Instead I'm just a story repeating
Why do I fear with skin dark as night?
Can't feel peace with those judging eyes
The tears of my Mother rain, rain over me
My sisters and my brothers sing, sing over me
And I wish I had another day
But it's just another day
Hoping for a life more sweeter
Instead I'm just a story repeating
Why do I fear with skin dark as night?
Can't feel peace with those judging eyes
Hoping for a life more sweeter
I think he says "more free'r" at the end.

Truth! Leon Bridges is unique, a true artist with a great voice.! People who gave a dislike don't have any idea what music is.
They don't have soul
And that’s cool cuz 32k happy souls (and counting) can see it just fine!
They are bitter
Stop that in the making stuff. Man's a Legend already. River made him a legend
Brilliant. Like beauty piercing concrete, straight to my heart. I am so, so, moved.
Leon is bridging the gap between light and darkness
His voice touches my heart. Glad more folks are finally appreciating this beautiful artist.

Psalm 28
1 Unto thee will I cry, O Lord my rock; be not silent with me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.
2 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.
3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace unto their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.
4 Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavors: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert.
5 Because they regard not the works of the Lord, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.
6 Blessed be the Lord, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.
7 The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.
8 The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed.
9 Save thy people and bless thy inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.
Thank you! What a beautiful song!
