@brandon my best friend passed away last year and this was our favorite album. It took a strong sense of will but I’m the strongest I’ve ever been. Thank you for the positivity during a dark period in my life.
I know nobody cares but I feel like sharing why this song has come to mean a lot to me. I’ve fist-fought for fun, for pride, and for my life. I’ve nearly fist-fought my own father and I’ve argued bitterly and angrily with almost everyone in my life. I used to have really bad anger issues. Sometimes when I was angry I would punch trees or walls over and over until my knuckles broke. I’ve broken almost every bone in my hands at least once. Somehow, this song finds a way to put into words how it feels to be mentally damaged from fights and arguments and just conflict in general. I’m not someone who cries very easily. Not because I’m a man and I don’t think that’s okay, I just personally don’t shed tears often. First time I heard this damn song, I ugly cried quietly, alone in my room. Like I said, I doubt anyone cares, but I felt like sharing.
[Outro: Saba] Yeah, me and all my niggas dropped out Then we drove to Texas, slept at Waffle House Kicked out of the hotel, we all broke We don't got no mattress, sleep on yo' floor Me and grandpa ain't spoke since I dropped out Made sure on my first tour, stop at his house I sleep on the hotel, not your floor He tell me that he proud of his boy I'm not a janitor no more at Homan Square Saved up for a round trip, LAX I just learned it's no risk, no reward I slept on the floor at Port Authority Me and all my niggas dropped tears Heart been on the floor for a whole year We all broke (we all broke) We all broke Has Me In Tears Cuz I'm Going Through Dis
a friend recommended me to your music about 2 days ago and im already a die hard fan ive never connected to anything like this in along time i pray for you to be heard and seen ,shout out from africa king
Ion know why this song hits different maybe I just use to listen to this song back then and now I listen to it it reminds me of back home cuz I’m going through a lot rn and everytime I play this song it makes me feel a bit better so thanks for that ⚡️🔥
"It's harder to love myself when all these people compliment me, somehow it just remind me what I don't got but these folks don't care to know they think you Rollin in the dough not realizing your next meal is a 4 for 4." That last verse hit sooooo different... That's some of the realest craziest shit ever

Somehow it just remind me what I don't got" mannnnnn
I feel this so hard. My whole life I've kinda hated praise and I never knew why. I think Saba literally just told me why
Holy this this literally describes ME. Bro. This hit like a fucking knife.
"I Know you THINK you listening...you just waiting to talk..." The problem today
everyone is guilty of this shit tho.
@@sammsngam6728 not really.
@@TheSvmurai really.
Nothing but the truth. It’s sad.
Damnn, shits the realest✌
The last minute of this track is straight cocaine
Joey Purp fam!!!!!
FAAMM!!
0mg yesssss
strate upp
!
Every beat on this album is solid as shit
The last minute of this track gives me chills
Y u scared
Scared we wont get more fire saba albums.
BRO!!!😍
Sameee

Saba's ability to change flow and pace is what makes him so dam special. He sounds effortless
this guy from another planet I swear😂 he's so talented wtf
CARE FOR ME as a whole is musically wonderful and intrinsically unique. I recommend this project to anyone who loves sounds as much as they love life.
@JII They both good in their own lanes in my opinion
Lyrics:
Me and E-Guy just fought 'cause his family wouldn't stop talkin'
We neighbors who argued often, I run, I jog to him
Toss a jab and I caught him, he threw a left, ain't connect
'Cause I ducked when I came back up, I seen his sister talkin' trash
Like, "Touch my brother, I'm beatin' yo' ass"
("Touch my brother, I'm beatin' yo' ass, nigga!")
So I fucked her brother up to see what she about, yeah
Walked away and then we noticed that his teeth was out, yeah
She ain't do shit, she just mad we got to see her pout
So me and Cell, we just fought, I was walkin' and then he jawed me
I dropped to the floor while calling for help in front of my grandmother's house
The next hit, he punched me my mouth, I can't believe I'm on the ground
'Cause I tried to hit him, I gambled, I'm ugly cryin' in public
I'm like, "When I get you back, you gon' wish that you never touched me"
Somehow I never could touch him, our brothers broke the shit up
And I walked the rest of the day with my head down
Funny how gettin' your ass beat'll spread 'round, yeah
[Chorus: Kaina & Saba]
But I don't wanna fight no more
'Cause I'm not a fighter, I won't no more
But I don't wanna fight no more
'Cause I'm not a fighter, I won't no more
[Verse 2: Saba]
So me and E-Guy, we scrap again
Jacob jumped in, I'm handicapped
Manny watched from across the street
Then he ran up and hopped on me
Three on one, they teamin' up but me, I never think to run
They circling around
Got me surrounded like police or somethin' (Woop-woop!)
So it's bad enough they already jumpin' me
Then I see Cell comin', I'm prayin', "Please don't fuck with me"
("Please leave me the fuck alone")
It's not fair and I think he agree
So instead of fighting with them, he came and teamed up with me
Me and Grandpa ain't talked since I stopped attendin' the college
He called me, said I'm a scholar, I should be gettin' my doctorate
"Or, shit, at least in the army, instead you chose to hip-hopper
I know how this is gon' end 'cause I went through this with yo' father"
Me and my girl just fought 'cause I talked before she could talk
She was tellin' a story, I cut her off with some shit
Not 'bout the same topic, so she just stopped in the middle
Before the plot hit, the rest of the car ride silent
Like "You always do this," like, "You don't value my thoughts
Either that or you too damn stupid to realize
That if you don't hear me out then I'ma feel muted
You say that you care, well show it, I'm not askin' a lot
I know you think you listenin' but you just waitin' to talk"
My fault
[Chorus: Kaina & Saba]
But I don't wanna fight no more
'Cause I'm not a fighter, I won't no more
But I don't wanna fight no more
'Cause I'm not a fighter, I won't no more
[Verse 3: Saba]
It's harder to love myself when all these people compliment me
Somehow it just remind me what I don't got
But these folks don't care to know
They think you rollin' in the dough
Not realizin' your next meal is a 4-for-$4
Still feeling the guilt that Walt never thought to call
Fightin' myself to get out of bed
I'm fightin' myself to get out of bed
Fightin' myself
[Chorus: Kaina & Saba]
I don't wanna fight no more
'Cause I'm not a fighter
[Outro: Saba]
Yeah, me and all my niggas dropped out
Then we drove to Texas, slept at Waffle House
Kicked out of the hotel, we all broke
We don't got no mattress, sleep on yo' floor
Me and grandpa ain't spoke since I dropped out
Made sure on my first tour, stop at his house
I sleep on the hotel, not your floor
He tell me that he proud of his boy
I'm not a janitor no more at Homan Square
Saved up for a round trip, LAX
I just learned it's no risk, no reward
I slept on the floor at Port Authority
Me and all my niggas dropped tears
Heart been on the floor for a whole year
We all broke (we all broke)
We all broke
STILL LISTENING IN 2020. THIS TRACK FIRE!!

This straight up gives Section .80 Kush and Corinthians vibes with his flow. Man, did 2018 ever bless us with the raw dopeness of this man!!
Facts!! I was about to comment the same thing.
hee starts the song flowing like kendrick and ends it like travis
🤲🏿🤲🏿🤲🏿
That's the true versatility and talent of saba and what makes him so goat as an artist.

Have you heard it yet?
this might be the greatest first listen to a album ever

@@cheddarchasin6209 damn its crazy how diffrent ppl opinions can be.. i mean, all the songs are pretty fire especially broken girls

This album help me so much during hard times
Having a hard day. This song helps a lot
This song always makes me tear up...
I don't know why
you know why bro all love
My favorite line "touch my brother, I'm beating yo ass"... 👏💯
This is one of the most emotional songs I’ve ever heard. Shit gets me tearing up just from the first notes.
Years later and the ending of this song still gets to me
This song saved my life in 2018 when i found SABA. I was going thru a depression and this helped me so much
Keep feeding the stories Brotha .
the last bit of the track 😭😍
There's no bad song by SABA and I love it for him!
wao such a good song 😭
that outro... 🔥
Favorite song in the album hands down
Absolutely...breathtaking music! Unreal album!
The storytelling is A1 on this track👌🏾

“I know you think you listening, but you waiting to talk..”
That’s from pulp fiction. Lol.

You aint listening you just waiting to talk.... god damn this song
This album changed me
Masterpiece
You're actually my favourite artist right now. Love your work bro
Wow the outro!!!
God damn what a track
You should make the end a full song💯💯
Odarius Hudson that last minute is what i think gets played going into heaven
ruclips.net/video/M6vFMS-pKrQ/видео.html
This whole track just makes me feel so 👍
Is there an extended version of the outro? That shit is crack 🔥
ruclips.net/video/M6vFMS-pKrQ/видео.html
I hear TPAB on all sorts of artist's stuff coming out now and I fucking love it. This is my favorite artist next to Kendrick and Outkast.
Yeap, real music.
Bro Saba you have all my respect. I can’t thank you enough for your music
Great song
these lyrics straight fuckin soul music
The beat gives me old chance the rapper vibes.. I think it has a sample of the song "paranoia"? Idk correct me if I'm wrong
its not a sample of paranoia, similar ambient synth but no sample
Yeah god damn I thought I was the only one
Sounds way different than paranoia
It's lofi
It's kind of a Chicago thing, You'd catch Noname and Smino songs with similar vibes
magnifiques😍
YESSS
"you just waiting to talk"
Still unmatched
Man I just stumbled over this ❤️ it
You’re lucky af
@@zoem5869 😂 thanks beautiful 😃
@@zoem5869 i got a good 👂 i listen to alot of different 🎵
Food for thought food for the soul. I seen my g on tiny desk killed it. I fuck with this dude tough like.
New favorite rapper
You think you listening but you just waiting to talk
......omg😭😭😭
Goddamn this song hits the feels hard
This album is so amazing and well-produced. I can only compare ut to some of Kendrick Lamars work (both lyrically and musically). Truly amazing work
Kendrick is Better period .
Deserves a Grammy. But nothing beats moving the streets
this is my favourite song
Section 80 vibes
Good shit . That's fire 👌🔥
On repeat in the dark days 😓🥂
03:38
bless you
I'm literally here a year later and i'm still inlove with this song
Broooooo
amazing
SUBSCRIBED!!!
So underrated
listen to the last minute like 100 times a day.lol
3:48 literally cried
One of the best endings I’ve ever heard in my life
" I don't wanna fight nomore cause I'm not a fighter 😩
The first part sounds like some lo fi beat tape
Beginning sounds like a sample from Paranoia by Chance
Love From Saginaw MI
😎🔥oooh wee!!
Best part 3:40
