we really be killing each other...nobody’s ready for that discussion tho☹️i can name so many people that were senselessly killed at the hands of people that looked like me. but y’all ain’t ready for that discussion tho🤭
We are not the only race that kill each other. Bonnie and Clyde was not black. And, neither were they killing blacks. There are many more white people in prison for killing there own race. Check it out. However, I do not know a race that have not killed there own. If anyone knows, let me know.
Wow. This is possibly one of the greatest songs I've ever heard in the protest genre. This one and "Strange Fruit" are two of my favorite protest songs. They really set aside all fear of repercussions and just simply give a message that needs to be heard, without polluting the message with hate. Just amazing.
I'm very confused seeing this song was released 5 years ago, when it just summarised what happened in Nigeria last year😳. I honestly thought this song was released in 2020 becuz it is one of the most relatable songs I've ever heard, and apparently, RUclips recommended it at the right time
Ok. So for the butt hurt community, please stop. Just stop and listen. The only part you seem to hear is the word "only" but the message is clear: We Got To Do Better. Stop killing each other. Stop drive bys, stop aborting, stop demeaning and tearing each other down. Stop hating on each other. Lift each other up. Don't ask for hand outs and stop wanting the government to feed us. We can do it on our own. We can be entrepreneurs. We can have our own businesses. We don't have to continue senseless violence. No one is a victim of anything. This song is not bashing us; it's a warning. It's supposed to open our eyes and ears but we are so blind and deaf that we can even hear what the message is. WAKE UP, MELANINATED ONES!!! WAKE UP, PLEASE!!!!!
It's called conviction... Kevon is going to a place musically and LYRICALLY where others fear or don't want to tread. He's getting past the cliches of church and other genres of music. In the 70's R&B artists had a balance to their lyrical content. Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield, James Brown etc... Kevon is in keeping with that same spiritual, lyrical and musical responsibility... But it's for the Kingdom of Heaven now.. Big ups Kev.. Keep moving in the direction that GOD has given you to go. Don't let those who don't understand your assignment to deter you or frustrate you. Shalom brother.
This isn't a song that appeals to "opinion" but more to the heart and mind; thereby only a fool would listen to words, no the realities of our communities, and say derogatory things about this message. That the desensitizing he's referring to. Oh yes, there are many within our world, even our own race, that are by definition "less likely to feel shock or distress at scenes of cruelty, violence, or suffering by overexposure to such images." I more people stop taking one sentence out of the song and negatively focusing on that...
I wonder if Kevon is some kind of Prophet coz he talked of black lives matter and i cant breath which just occured in 2020 n this song mbu was uploaded 4years ago
So Eric Garner said he couldn't breathe in 2014, I think, when a cop put him in a chokehold. I wrote "I think" because during that time (2014), my Granny passed away at the end of that year and I ignorantly went to a protest and was saying "I can't breathe" during it as a chant. I think that movie came out the same year or shortly after. That was a blurry time for me because I was grieving so badly for my Granny that I did something I thought she would approve of it. Smh. I'm a totally different person now. Sorry about the long comment.
...did we really not know in 2015 that most crime is intracommunity? We really didn't know that we're NOT AT ALL the "only race that kills ourselves"??? Or that violence in our community doesn't AT ALL mean we can't expect better from the police? Beautiful melody, but this song tone deaf af.
It's like they gave him 2 min to write this and during that 2 minutes he also had to get dressed and then the song had to be approved by members of the Alt-Right ... In otherwords... They tried it!
Reader, you must repent to Jesus to be saved. In Jesus you'll be saved from hell, the punishment for sin and be given the hope and peace of God, that the worlds counterfiet methods cannot fill. God bless you and have a nice day.
Wait! Kevon been doing this a long time. This is so very touching. Jesus help us on this earth.
"What's the use of saying I can't breath if we're choking ourselves?" Deep.
Most underrated video all over RUclips
This song is pure truth
Great song,Kevon. Keep allowing the Lord to use all of your skills.
Brother Kevon, you keep doing what you do...
This song is so true❣
Just seeing this video and it SPEAKS TRUTH! Amen Brother Kevon! I simply love your God given gifts! Koodos bro! You continue to Mobilize! 2 thumbs up!
I'm speechless!
Thank you Bro. Kevon
This song is very true.The photos of these young people who lost their lives is heartbreaking.

+Donnelle Lipsey I sure hope so! 😁👍
I’m crying
An eye opener
All through Kevon has been my best musician ❤️
This really touched me deep. Oh Lord, have mercy on us.

When he said i cant breathe i was like is he a time traveler
Agreed
1 million percent

I don't get why people are hating on this song... Someone please explain...!

You better preach!
Good message just needs a writer
I think it was wrote perfectly
Wh I would thumbs down this video ☹
It's like they gave him 2 min to write this and during that 2 minutes he also had to get dressed and then the song had to be approved by members of the Alt-Right ... In otherwords... They tried it!
Yeah the black alt-right. Because the truth hurts, huh? I agree with the message.
Reader, you must repent to Jesus to be saved. In Jesus you'll be saved from hell, the punishment for sin and be given the hope and peace of God, that the worlds counterfiet methods cannot fill. God bless you and have a nice day.
This is the worst song I've ever heard.
How?
Yeah. How?
So Jesus is black for black ppl and white for whites what the ***
Song writing is all bad. It's like a kid wrote it...
the lyrics are f**king terrible! and thought the video was funny lmao but #BlackLivesMatter is a joke tho.
No sir. It is not a joke. God bless you three days later.
