DON'T YOU CRY FOR ME
hope got my hands tied round my back
and time put a rope around my head
hung from the rafters of my fear
dark in the eyes
I try and face the world
I can't bear to
my knees hit the ground
and my hands start shaking
old feelings from
new faces
a rope on the floor
and a poor man hanging
please help me chop
this tree down
or hold me from underneath
words never once cut me down
oh don't you cry for me
I've seen an ocean run away
torn from the truth that holds my soul
down in the grave where I belong
oh what a ride
Identified my devil
wings to the sky on the run from trouble
with my own hands
no shovel
I dug through the ground
now I'm hanging above saying
please help me chop
this tree down
or hold me from underneath
words never once cut me down
oh don't you cry for me
down by the grave
that the law man laid
when the gravel got paved
finally I'm saved
when the sun went down
it set the sky on fire
I saw an angel fly
I never felt so high
please help me chop
this tree down
or hold me from underneath
words never once cut me down
oh don't you cry for me

they could have easily just cut his rope saving that one black man. However the problem wasn't the rope in actuality it was the enormous and difficult to cut down tree being the metaphor for the entire system of oppression that disinfranchises the back community as a whole. And not just one of us but ALL of us black, white, and and every other race needs to stand up and work together to end institutionalized racism because injustice is a threat to justice everywhere! He did a good job!
perfect interpretation!
That's what i got also.. im blown away!
very on point interpretation I love it!!! 💜💜🙌🙌🙌🙌
✊🏽
...
WoW . His message could never get more important than now
Facts
much love

This message was important long before now. White people have got to step up and stop systemic racism and white supremacy. We created this horrific problem and we need to fix it, as well as pay reparations. Black people should not have to beg and protest for their lives simply for being black.
I’ve been listening to this song for years and have been thinking about it so much lately during these horrible times we are facing. Cobi, thank you for this compelling film and message. We need it now more than ever.
It’s got me thinking about this video a lot too. Thanks for leaving your feelings here. I hope others share the sentiment.
Cobi I really hope so too. A shift in focus is extremely necessary right now and songs like this really help captivate a different perspective. Thank you for showcasing that!
Bad news, we need it now more than ever.
I as an African American woman think this video is very powerful as well as the song. I thank you for being as woke as you are and making this 🙌❤💯
Ny'Asia Outlaw amen
NyNy ! Amen. I understand where you are coming from.
@Arianna Westlove bitch shut up
This played while I was on a walk today, and I broke down in tears because this message ran deep into my skin and bones. I believe everyone needs to hear this now, and realize what's going on in this country-- and chop this "tree" down. Thank you so much for making such a beautiful masterpiece.
xshootingxstarsx whats the message
Cold chills. The blind won't see
I was driving, I pulled over 😥
COBI!!!!!!!!!! YOU DID IT!!!!! Sooooooo many tears of joy! I am so so so proud of you. Even the comments below, I've read all of them and it makes me cry all over again. I love the comment, "I don't even want him to be famous I just want him to get the attention he deserves." Cobi you are deep waters. Your music exudes your soul so eloquently. You have a gift of reaching the heart with your words and a talent with your voice that is pleasing to the ear and calming to the soul. I salute you and all you do! Forever your friend and your fan! So much love to you brother!!! And super shout out to Adam, Reza, Ava, Daniel, Angelica & Zaid for the tireless work you did through out the process to make this a reality. I am so grateful to have been a part of this momentous event. Jacob, thanks for being who you are and making connections like this we all get to be changed by.
We need him more than ever today.
I wonder if he knows how amazing this song makes me feel as an individual human being. just the expression in his voice along with the words and the beat. I could literally cry with this song on repeat for hours at a time . I love this song to death
It made me cry too mate...
I literally almost come to tears get get goosebumps everytime I listen to this song ❤
this video deserves way more recognition than its getting. not many awakened people I guess.
this is deeeeeeeeeeep!!!!!
Heard this song from working at harley Davidson. This song is an eye opener, can't believe it only has one million views. 💛💛🙏🗣🗣🗣
No white, no black we are jst on a different path of our lives and this song is in the end of all paths/love cobi, great work man always by ur side
I’ve always said this should have MILLIONS OF VIEWS
A modern day "Strange Fruit". Chilling, graphic, heart wrenching. But we have to face that this was and in some ways still in existence in terms of racial tension. Many people want to act as if racism never truly existed, but the cold harsh reality is that it is responsible for countless numbers of deaths and it is still a major problem today.
Amazing song, and a powerful message
That's exactly what I thought when I heard this!
I think that there are very few people that "want to act as if racism never truly existed". Racism then was horrible and it hurts to watch reenactments of brutality like this, but I don''t see the point in continually talking bringing it back up and all the pain that came with it. Yes, let's not forget our history, but, no, let's not spoil our futures'.
@@hosealouis7760 Forgotten history is destined to repeat itself...
This song is so powerful. I listen to it every single day.
Me too
💯💯💯💯💯
Understanding is simply a metaphor. Race is the country is Not for people of color, creed & women. Showing working together is better to stop two men with guns. Great job…Cobi
I just discovered Cobi. I can honestly say, he is now one of my favorite recording artists! Love his work! Yasss!
How isn't this song more popular!? How!?!
Scarlett Peterson unfortunately people like to listen to songs talking about money, drugs, or sex more than songs with meanings
Because ppl don't understand the gospel..Clueless ...smh
I come back this this song/video regularly. Not only a beautiful deliverance by Cobi, but a tough reminder of how it was... and still is, today. Society has a disease and it's in need of a cure before we end ourselves. Peace. 3:)
This song means a lot to me! I have spent the majority of my life trying to hang myself with the rope that I have created. Thank God for my family. They have held me up and refused to let me die. I'm still shopping at that damn tree but I wouldn't even be able to swing the axe if not for my family and I know they are standing next to me everyday chopping just as hard. Family is all. Even if you weren't born with a good one you can make one.
There you go 👏👏💖
Whoever directed this video is da man!
This is really hitting different right now fr
no doubt
the symbolism. ugh. I did not expect to feel this way.
Never has a song and video been more relevant.
love
4 years later and could not be more relevant.
the world is strange
why is this not on every radio station
Shoutout to the shade room for showing me this .. wild message
right.. their usually celeb trash paid off this one time!
I love this because not only are the cutting the root of the problem (the tree) them cutting down that tree won't save the one man already hanging but it will save future black men from being hung at that same tree. Beautiful, I wasn't at school I'd be crying #blacklivesmatter
Not gonna lie. It made me cry.
Thanks Shade Room. This was extremely painful to watch, it made me cry, but this video was full of meaning.
Why doesn't this have a million views yet?!
It does now
Hozier Pandora does it again! Hooking me up with incredible artists like this.
I have been having so much inner conflict with grief of a personal loss since January, and not being able to express it or be there for the people that matter most to me because I can't except that he is gone. The lyrics of this song just spoke to me. Obviously, it wasn't meant for me. Just know that you are doing something right with your music
Cobi ❤️❤️
big love
I really wish this song was out more.I have a good feeling it hopefully will because this song is to good for the world not to know.
Sad song! Can't stop listening to it though! 😢😢😢
Got snagged by this melody a few months back - understood the lyric “rope around my head” thought it was a suicide theme - every time it played randomly on the music feed - it stopped me in my tracks and cried turn up the volume. Decided to give money for it. Then watched the vid. Cannot watch without tears streaming - hits a deep place of shame. Thank you songwriter for reaching in, gripping every heart string and plucking the pain there. May abundant blessings be yours Artist.
Cobi, your voice is your asset. Man, your songs are incomparable.
Bless you
Love this song! I’ve been listening for years and with all the horrible things happening lately I’ve been thinking a lot about this song and it’s message. Thank you Cobi you have touched many lives!
much love
"Please, help me chop this tree down" ✊🏾 such an amazing video and powerful message behind this! I love it! ❤️
Ok but I need more songs now. I just discovered him and I have so disappointed when I saw only two songs from him. He is excellent!!!!
"i've seen a ocean run away" oh my god
His voice pierced my soul.
You did such an amazing song expressing it just the way it was meant to be. I pray they chop that tree down for the man this song was written for.
everytime I hear this song it always brings me to tears lyrics are powerful
The message behind this song and video is so moving. We needed this.
This is so powerful. I love this.
who ever dont like this song is really crazy for real
I remember I interviewed him on the Marc Gordon show 5 years ago, When he use to be with Gentleman hall band. He's been solo for a while. Shout-out to Jay who always promoted him for years doing blogs.
God this is so underrated
I seriously put this song on replay in my car. LOVE his voice!
been replaying this and crying for half an hour? this song is too good for this world
Most of the time I find good songs, but only at night when I can't sleep. Not glad I have bags under my eyes but it was totally worth it
Should have millions of views so underrated
Hell yeah country sht go fishing in lake with this song man 😃
The song is catchy, it brings a good message, and Cobi has amazing talent. I believe in time, this song has the potential to become famous. Who else agrees?
Your voice has the power to speak straight to the soul! Please continue to make REAL music!
how does this not have like 10 mil views?
Bro you say a lot in your songs. True angel.
Bless
The ShadeRoom bought me here and this was truly needed. bought me to tears.
This is beautiful, the world needs more of this, and people like you! Thank you
Some of the most powerful imagery that you will ever see, plus the words to go along. His descriptive abilities are out of this world...
when I heard this song for the first time, I can't but be impressed
Deep! Great message, and Cobi has a great voice. Thanks to the Shade Room for putting me on.
This video made me cry. The symbols and the metaphors were amazing.
You are a very intellectual man thank you for this representation. It was well needed for people who are oblivious to what surrounds them. Me , listening to every word of this song and watching the video gave me the chills. I almost had tears falling from my eyes. This video implies to never stop the problem from its surface , things start within , it is the root in which you destroy for many to escape. 💜
This song is so moving and the video just adds to this!! Honestly could never tire of this song.
In love with this song, for my Mama. She always said don't cry for me when I'm gone ❤️❤️❤️
I heard you on the Srimati podcast. You're music is a blessing. Thank you.
Cobi in above & beyond acoustic brought me here, huge potential Cobi......
I was patiently waiting for you to perform on some big time tv show and tonight you finally did!!! Literally just watched you perform on Jimmy Fallon.
POWERFUL! Heroic! Courageous! Love.......just love, and desire for humanity and unity. I'm proud. Thank you. ✊🏾🙌🏾
This left me speechless. Amazing. Just amazing.
I've loved this song for a long time and for the first time the true physical meaning of the chorus really hit me. Your words are worth nothing. Either cut this tree down and hold me up from beneath or save your breath.
Shade room brought me here
😭😭 same
me too... song is pretty dope too
Yep
sameeee
me too lmao
This Video has life's learning, , 2019, Music can speak Volumes, True Love is a gift not many own ❤
This video gave me chills~~
This song is the soundtrack of what’s happening now
Exactly
unfortunately so
Amazing voice. Powerful message that can be interpreted many ways.(Shade sent me)
The production on this track is killer!
This is the deepest music video I've seen so far.
Our flesh may be different colors but our hearts bleed the same sad crimson tears when good men are brought to death and pain by the sins of indifference, ignorance and arrogance. -Anonymous
Cobi- I have heard your soulful voice echo between mountains, in the deepest of forests, on the widest oceans and in all cities all over the globe......... And now I have finally found you! ♥️ God bless you
HOW ARE YOU NOT EVERYWHERE?! You are so amazing!!
Wow what a song and video. I'm shocked this doesn't have a lot more views.
The song is number one on the Spectrum channel.
WOW, that was intense, so beautiful, I'm at a loss for words!
This was the hardest song to find lol. Black and white music video, racism, noose, cut, hangings, mid 2010s, drums, singing??? Am so happy to find it though. 💕💕
Just saw you on The Tonight Show. 'Bout time they got a rockstar on there. Powerful lyrics and performance. I think I'll leave it on my DVR forever. Rock on baby you goin' far!
The 10,034 before it goes viral asf😍😍
I think this song is about depression and trying to free your mind from it. I struggle with depression an suicidal thoughts and this song really brought me to tears 😭
Some day I want to bless the world with my voice God give me talent and strength
God - Say no more! When you speak their hearts will rumble!
Here before it gets millions of views
without a tree you have no way to hang him... love it!!
He has the most beautiful voice I've ever heard he touched me so much
Go off!!!!😍😭
How is this guy not everywhere!
It's so amazing to hear a powerful voice sing such a powerful song along with watching such a powerful video. Cobi is a genuine artist and one of the few white allies who is there for our people.
I first heard this on the Hozier heart radio station and instantly fell in love with it
Still makes me cry, beautiful vocal dynamics
The most powerful music video I’ve ever seen. Resonates truth . Cobi, your voice alone can make things better for humanity.
