You know one of those songs that you used to listen to on repeat and then kind of stopped, and then over a year later you listen to it again and you feel really nostalgic? This is one of those songs.
Ok, explain how it's deep. Because I'm almost certain niggas nowadays just pick lines that seem deep just to call it that, pretending they heard some deeper meaning when they have no explanation at all. ...and I like the song.
Never ever associate this song with somebody you‘re in love with, because when they break your heart, and they will, you won‘t be able to listen to this masterpiece without feeling an explosion of agonizing emotions. Believe me.
And what's even worse .. vibing to this song with your lady who eventually stops loving you and this song brings back memories of when everything was perfect
Dang It I honestly think he is trying to find the right music which is right for him and the people. You can see that in his difference between songs. Honestly I prefer when he was releasing the music when he was like 15
Idk why people hate on this song, like I get it. He's Will Smith's son. "Batman" copied Jumpman. But if his whole album sounded like this.. this is good music. If Weeknd, Childish Gambino or anyone else released this shit.. everyone would lose their minds. I hate that people act like he has no talent. If you HAD the money, would you not just try EVERYTHING that you liked and have fun being young and creative? Like damn.
so I get the video now and the shoes actually have a lot to do with the meaning. hes obviously rapping about a girl who he can't get over. the setting is 1867 but he is wearing futuristic sneakers which suggest he is stuck in the past. him not getting over his ex is being stuck in the past. its almost paradoxical because what you see is not real but really how he feels more than anything. it's very abstract in a way that it encourages you to think outside the box. you have to make sense of what he gives you and the only thing anything close to literal in this video is his lyrics
This song has gotten me through some of my worst days for the past 6 years 🥺🫶🏾….Thank you Jaden for creating such a timeless song that touches me spiritually.
Daamn I love every song Jaden comes out with but this has to be my favorite by far! Jaden's music becomes better and better. I am feelin this song, the beat, vocals everythang.
Douglas Perez if you are calling this trash you must be a trash can .. But not every thing that has been thrown away is or was trash .. So please dont say and let other people think its trash because its you who have said it
Mell Bell or maybe I just wanna have a lit time with the squad. does it look like I give a fuck on what ppl think about me. I wouldn't play this song not because I'm scared. just because this song don't have a squad kinda lit vibe. more of a chill vibe so stfu please
This was the song that really made me fall in love with Jaden and his music. I still bump this one at least once a week but it's been so long since I've watched the video. Jaden low-key a visionary
Ever listened to his older more conscious stuff like Scarface offering pleadian medicine and forbidden knowledge feat. Raury... Beastmode is also a must ep he got crazy bars.
Goodness, what a beautiful man Jayden is becoming. Wasn't sure what to expect with this but goodness it's beautiful. So much talent and genius coming through
Even when i started listening to Jaden a few years ago, I never understood the hate. Yea his dad is a famous actor but Jaden has always had unmatchable talent. Can't wait to see his tracks hitting over a 100m in the years to come
+ whutch we let uzi vert and yachty and tops of other artists who have no voice at all sing let this nigga sing his melody lol. hes not luther van dross or anything but he can carry a tune. it dont sound bad. hes decent.
It's genuinely hilarious coming back to this video after over a year. When this came out originally, *everyone* was saying it was trash. Only a few people supported it. After the success of SYRE, now everyone is flocking to Jaden's older songs. This proves that the public is so fickle lmao
this is def my favorite song by jaden smith love the beat too classic song this video is breathtaking and the vibes for this always do it for me great work man
Venenoso What? Once a day? How does that work? Are you a professional RUclips quality assurance employee? Your opinion has no merit or any positive impact. Pinchi penejo, eres un narcissista porque tu piensas que nos importa si vuelves una vez al dia. Nos enseñaste que no tienes vida, loser!!
During the first part of the pandemic “first year” I would play this album constantly, especially this song and ninety. They saved my depression. Still coming back to this greatness 🤝🔮2022?
it's tragic how people will bash others for doing what they love. jaden is expressing himself, and if you don't like it or don't understand it, why are you still here? ugh.
Girl ...tell it like y'all stay being salty but if someone was to come and hate on y'all would be over there crying and shit so stay out the comments if you know you wouldn't say the shit to his face if you had the chance
This is so good its gonna take like 10 years for people to really appreciate how ahead of his time he was/ is - oh and without cursing or misogyny or any of the gross things we get from most male artist now. The white guys walking around still creeps me out. Hope this doesn’t represent what I think it does, but I will always love Jaden.
Right!? He is like a young Kanye....Talented and limitless. Unafraid of his demons and his angels, able to articulate a vision in so many forms.... He is going to change so much in his time
Proud of Jaden for stepping out and taking a risk in the music industry. His album definitely has a combination of vibes from multiple previous successful artists, but he is totally rocking it with his own style to it. Love it!
For those who are confused about some of the imagery in this music video, or those that want to listen, I'd like to provide my perspective on it. That is, if it's alright with you. These images are very interesting so I'd like to share with some of you what's on my mind. Now; this may be long, so if you don't feel like reading a lot, I recommend you do not read this comment. Getting right into it, there are many things you'll recognize as the video goes through it's transitions bare with me and I'll try to address everything; There is a story being told here, and we can see that through the linear nature of the video. It has a clear beginning, middle and end. Which means there is recognition of transition from one plane of existence into the next. Which would also denote recognition in some level of time, some awareness of moment to moment. Jaden in the beginning of the video is still, calm, and unmoving. It's not until the music starts, or the frequency begins, that we see his struggle for life. We see his pain and it is even expressed through his dance movements. Pain on this plane can only persist when a person denies the truth and in doing so clings to a false reality. (i.e. Jaden repeats "Take me to the truth.") The reality we're in, or at least as we know it now, is always painful, but that pain exists to teach you a lesson which will move you from this reality to the next. Time is an important factor here and I'll explain it in the other bullets. The scenes (with the exception of one) have a transition from daytime to nighttime. Entering and leaving. Jaden entered this reality when the frequency hit (when the music started) and the entire time the music was playing he clung to this existence. He left this reality at the end when he died, and we can see him preparing for his departure when he put on his jacket. In fact, you'll notice when he begins his verses is when he does the most clinging. He jumps up from the ground, struggling against the inevitable death scene and begins his dances, fights for his life. He vomits, which is a struggle in and of itself. A struggle to belong where you don't. Vomiting is rejection, and this process is also a story of rejection. He fights the silence of nothing and becomes active, rather than passive. This is when he is grasping for this reality that we know now. When the singing comes through, the frequency of the music changes, and he starts to "die" in the music video. The singing message generally speaks of leaving or transitioning out, while the rap verses generally speak of staying with this "love" feeling. So we can see that there is a level of conflict here. In fact throughout the whole song the conflict is apparent. The scenes take place in the past, yet he is wearing futuristic clothing, he says she loves him in the beginning and then that she doesn't at the end. (She likes me... I'm surprised you do. Versus the ending, You say love is a strong word, if love is a strong word, then I'ma sing it for you baby, I'll be your song bird.) In the verses it would seem that he's suffering through this conflict in the name of what we know as "love" (seemingly unrequited), but what he knew as love was not true love. Love has no true opposite. The "love" that we know on this plane of existence is simply the addiction feeling from the ego, that someone or something can give us (or in this case give our ego) that will distract us from the pain of this reality. This is why we pursue it in the first place, to reach that peace of the next level consciousness, to escape conflict and that is important. When we first fall in "love" with another person, the feeling is unbelievably distracting from the torture and suffering of the world, but like all addictions, the high begins to wear off and the destructive natures of our ego (the thinking mind, the entity we confuse as ourselves) begin to reflect upon one another. We begin feeding a negative cycle which, as long as the ego (desire) is involved, can only end in demise (end of the relationship) at worse case or in greater suffering (a suffering greater than when you were alone) at the least. The wounded Jaden traveling through the video represents our ego, because the ego is suffering. The ego is the part of ourselves that is manufactured over time. The part of us that lives in the past and then reflects upon the future. (Jaden exists in the past but reflects the future with his clothing.) The ego does not exist in the NOW. It can only exist because of time and time is false. The only thing we have is now. Past and future exist only in the human mind. The ego Jaden represents is struggling to live, because the ego knows only struggle, it needs conflict to continue life. That's why when the verses start, and he begins speaking about the conflict of the "love" feeling, Jaden is the most active. Digging a little more into the ego, it tells you who you are and what to expect based events that no longer exist. It deals mainly in fear. It projects predictions of future moments which may be harmful based on those events. The ego is the lower, animal consciousness in the human nature. It tells us how to protect ourselves, but in doing so, it constructs false fears. Fears which are intensified through the love addiction. In order to transition to another plane of existence however, the ego must die. Since time is a false construct of human consciousness, and ego is a construct of time. Then the ego is a false construct of self. Which means there is another self, a conscious self that exists outside the ego. Here we enter the man in black. Always a step ahead of the ego. Always observing. Always Passive and guiding the ego where to go. When the video began and Jaden was convulsing through the small town. The man in black was observing, as if already there, observing him. When Jaden exited the house, the observer was already there, watching from the outside (on the right side of the screen), when Jaden went to get the coat which was hanging for his exit, the observer was there behind it waiting for him. When Jaden was listening to man on the moon, the observer was setting up the phone for Jaden to pick up. And after that, the observer had already beat him to the cliff and was already looking out into the nothing, before Jaden had arrived there. The man in black marks many things in this video. Transition being one. From one plane to the next. The passive watcher. But on the notion that this is a video of self discovery, he represents the consciousness outside of ego. Once the observer began watching what the ego was doing, how the ego reacted, he began his transition process. Awareness, or light, drives away the darkness. The consciousness has all the answers already, and was guiding Jaden to the way out. The only way to truly live, is to live in the moment because the moment is all you have. The moment is the only thing that is real. The future you stress about may or may not happen. The past is gone, but the moment is always. The moment exists and the consciousness is aware of the moment. You'll notice there is a scene here, where Jaden does not die. He yields or submits onto his knees before nature. You'll also notice in that scene, unlike the other scenes that transition from day to night, in this one it is always day, he's always within the light. In this scene also, he moves the least. He is generally still. Except when he evokes the power of love to get in contact with the other self through the Kid Cudi record. Seen with the waving effect of his hand in the "I love you" hand sign and then on the Kid Cudi record before Jaden picks up the phone... of course this hand sign also has esoteric connotation, but that is for you to explore. This scene is the arrival, enlightenment, to be in light. This is the now. This is the moment, the situation that is always. Nothing changes except that he yields to the power of the universe at the end. He accepts all that is and falls before it. Coming to the end of the video we see in all other scenes, he dies. The ego is no more. ("My pride dies with you.") The love addiction which he thought existed does not pick up and he departs into another reality. You'll notice at the end of the music video when he's standing next to the man in black, that Jaden, after he hangs up, begins to phase out of the reality. There is a lot of emphasis on the moon also. (Meeting him there, dying there.) And honestly I'm not all the way sure what the symbolism is there. If anyone else knows feel free to express it. I'll end this off by saying you will more than likely see what it is you want to see from this song's music video. Just like in all things. You may want to hear this explanation he provides to you, (i.e. "She likes me... I'm surprised you do.", "Meet me on the moon.", "I will show you soon.", "I love you."), as some sort of external experience but I'm thinking this video is more conveying an external expression of an internal process. Although there is an outer process he's describing, I believe it exists on top of the inner one he is conveying. What I'm saying is, when you hear these external references realize that they all exist as a reflection of self. When you have a "love" addiction to someone, the problems which you think they are giving you are actually you reflecting self onto that person. I believe if you are wise and see this for what it is, through that connection you can receive the lessons of the universe and transition to something outside the realm of what you thought was possible. That's what Jaden is doing here, he uses the love addiction as a conduit to transition to the next plane. Without getting too much deeper I'll leave things here. *If you read all of this congratulations! I hope you got something out of it!* lol
He is wearing mags cuz the music is set in 1867 and basically, the same shoe was worn by Marty in back to the future, a time traveler movie. Mind blown :V
Well, the point I was trying to make was that in Back to the Future, Marty is seen wearing mags and the most iconic shoes from the films are those mags. Making it easy to link the song with time travel and all that. That's why I pointed out Jayden has them on. If he wears cowboy boots no one would think about time travel or anything like that.
"feed the kids dopamine an leave em sitting on the couch".. "yo vibrations make me levitate i need yo energy".. this is kid cudi influenced my dude you can see the man on the moon record behind him. this is probably one of the most naturally artistic beautiful videos ive ever seen
That ending is genius, in my opinion, it was also what stuck out to me the most. He had filmed himself messing around with a microphone and this beat and he was just freestyling the ending, super nice.
+leo yeah he actually raps about what happened to him and made the music video and the lyrics have a lot of meaning, unlike these other black kids who just says juju on the beat and say slide drop do your dab with no meaning behind the song what so ever.
YoImPT shut yo racist ass up .I'm " black" I listen to this ...this has nothing what so ever to do with color you disgusting piece of trash..what the fuck is wrong with you racist ass people nowadays ?.. sad oh well grow up.. pathetic joke
Take me to the truth Take me home with you Change my taste in music I'm fallen, Make me rise with you She likes me, I'm surprised you do Look, your love's like a river, bae I've seen better days, yeah And my soul, you penetrate, I need your energy Vibrations make me levitate, sipping Hennessy Reading bell hooks, she just saying I'm surprised you do, baby I won't lie to you, I love you I'm a guy who's new Hide me from the blue I'm dying on the moon And I just need you Baby, you are so unusual like cutting cuticles But that is just what makes you beautiful Like watching tulips grow When you walk, it's just slow motion baby Why you moving slow? When you talk, I got my lasers on you like a UFO Girl your eyes are like the open sea, the simple poetry This whole generation, OMG, I see its soul, it's older We should build a city overseas, this country kinda cold I mean they feed they children dopamine And leave them on the sofa I mean, ah, I need someone to renounce with, woah Ice bucket challenge in the fountain, woah Chance of finding you, one in a hundred thousand, woah I just wanna kiss you on the mountain, woah Spend some time with you I might bend the rules Cause I'm in love with you You can see the truth I will show you soon Just meet me on the moon She said love is a strong word Said, love is a strong word Well I'm a sing it for you baby, I'll be your song bird If we don't have no loving How we supposed to move on, word? Heard a brother just got shot Because he stopped on the wrong curb If love is a strong word, love is a strong word But we'll need lots of loving if we wanna move on, word And I'm a sing it to you, baby, I'll be your song bird But I'm a keep it honest with you I won't lie to you My pride dies with you Girl, I love you too I will see you soon Your homework is due
Let me break this down for all of you. I have always been younger than Jaden and forever will be but it's the fact that he looks so grown up compared to when he was a kid.
God damn it jaden wtf dude you are fire straight fire what am I listening too I've never felt this much hype in such a long time. Listen to the lyrics The beat is ear melting goodness
You know one of those songs that you used to listen to on repeat and then kind of stopped, and then over a year later you listen to it again and you feel really nostalgic? This is one of those songs.

During the first part of the pandemic “first year” I would play this album constantly, especially this song and ninety. They saved my depression. Still coming back to this greatness 🤝🔮2022?
it's tragic how people will bash others for doing what they love. jaden is expressing himself, and if you don't like it or don't understand it, why are you still here? ugh.
Girl ...tell it like y'all stay being salty but if someone was to come and hate on y'all would be over there crying and shit so stay out the comments if you know you wouldn't say the shit to his face if you had the chance
RODNEY JACKSON exactly
Who said I wouldn't say it in your face .

I think this is one of his best songs
Who bumping this still in 2020 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Me fam
This is a whole vibe it was 3 years ahead of its time
Who is copying comments still in 2020 The answer: you
This is so good its gonna take like 10 years for people to really appreciate how ahead of his time he was/ is - oh and without cursing or misogyny or any of the gross things we get from most male artist now. The white guys walking around still creeps me out. Hope this doesn’t represent what I think it does, but I will always love Jaden.
Oke ♡
People think im joking when i say Jaden is one of my favorite rappers...this song should set the record straight

nostalgic music + rapping + unexplainable scenes = Jayden smith song
MLGMikey raping?
MLGMikey It says that in the description. Nostalgic music 😂
raping makes me love Jaden even more.
lol raping?
Fuck ya'll mean?? He's clearly raping in this song?! Can't seriously class this as singing 😂😂 fuck outa here
This gonna be one of my all time favorites. Jaden is a young prodigy
Perhaps he's even an icon living
i throw rocks at blind kids perhaps
This will forever be Jadens best song to me🥰
I wonder if Jaden still know karate
nigga never knew karate
Jungle Fire First true af
Jungle Fire First Lol.

Jungle Fire First I wonder if he can still dance 😂
This ain’t music ...this is art
music is art dumbass
@Marco Castillo bro are u ok?😂 putting so much effort in this comment😭😂
@Marco Castillo why are you here if you’re clearly not a fan. Looks like you just came to spread hate.
you mean crack?
I agree this definitely art
Proud of Jaden for stepping out and taking a risk in the music industry. His album definitely has a combination of vibes from multiple previous successful artists, but he is totally rocking it with his own style to it. Love it!
this song is so timeless. I’d literally listen to this even when i’m 40
I can't even hate on Jaden I'm 36 year old hip hop that respects his music kid is talented musically
joshuaottawayable Hahaha "I'm a 36 year old hip hop" What 😂
Word is bond.
"talk english"
Why would anyone dislike this song? Bring on the endless Nostalgia, your music is dope Jaden.
He's the first person to not look corny in mags
Phillip Fries right?
Phillip Fries That's just cause he's a fucking incredible stylist, could make anything corny look good.
Phillip Fries so fuck fabolous right lol???
i still think of this time of my life and this music so fondly. Peak music exploration era for me.
For real, I was a freshmen at highschool when this banger appeared.Now Im at college,time flies man.Those vibes…inimitable.
"If we ain't got love how can we move onward. My brother just got shot because he stopped on the wrong curb." Powerful
I am so sorry, is he doing better now?
lol
hahaha
lol

Jaden Got That Alienated Flow/Vibe😂 Got To Love it
Those Glowing Kicks Look Amazing
LongLive NiN0 do you even know what alienated means?😂
some of the most beautiful people are alienated especially for what the mass of people into now adays
For those who are confused about some of the imagery in this music video, or those that want to listen, I'd like to provide my perspective on it. That is, if it's alright with you. These images are very interesting so I'd like to share with some of you what's on my mind. Now; this may be long, so if you don't feel like reading a lot, I recommend you do not read this comment.
Getting right into it, there are many things you'll recognize as the video goes through it's transitions bare with me and I'll try to address everything;
There is a story being told here, and we can see that through the linear nature of the video. It has a clear beginning, middle and end. Which means there is recognition of transition from one plane of existence into the next. Which would also denote recognition in some level of time, some awareness of moment to moment. Jaden in the beginning of the video is still, calm, and unmoving. It's not until the music starts, or the frequency begins, that we see his struggle for life. We see his pain and it is even expressed through his dance movements. Pain on this plane can only persist when a person denies the truth and in doing so clings to a false reality. (i.e. Jaden repeats "Take me to the truth.") The reality we're in, or at least as we know it now, is always painful, but that pain exists to teach you a lesson which will move you from this reality to the next. Time is an important factor here and I'll explain it in the other bullets.
The scenes (with the exception of one) have a transition from daytime to nighttime. Entering and leaving. Jaden entered this reality when the frequency hit (when the music started) and the entire time the music was playing he clung to this existence. He left this reality at the end when he died, and we can see him preparing for his departure when he put on his jacket. In fact, you'll notice when he begins his verses is when he does the most clinging. He jumps up from the ground, struggling against the inevitable death scene and begins his dances, fights for his life. He vomits, which is a struggle in and of itself. A struggle to belong where you don't. Vomiting is rejection, and this process is also a story of rejection. He fights the silence of nothing and becomes active, rather than passive. This is when he is grasping for this reality that we know now. When the singing comes through, the frequency of the music changes, and he starts to "die" in the music video.
The singing message generally speaks of leaving or transitioning out, while the rap verses generally speak of staying with this "love" feeling. So we can see that there is a level of conflict here. In fact throughout the whole song the conflict is apparent. The scenes take place in the past, yet he is wearing futuristic clothing, he says she loves him in the beginning and then that she doesn't at the end. (She likes me... I'm surprised you do. Versus the ending, You say love is a strong word, if love is a strong word, then I'ma sing it for you baby, I'll be your song bird.) In the verses it would seem that he's suffering through this conflict in the name of what we know as "love" (seemingly unrequited), but what he knew as love was not true love. Love has no true opposite. The "love" that we know on this plane of existence is simply the addiction feeling from the ego, that someone or something can give us (or in this case give our ego) that will distract us from the pain of this reality. This is why we pursue it in the first place, to reach that peace of the next level consciousness, to escape conflict and that is important. When we first fall in "love" with another person, the feeling is unbelievably distracting from the torture and suffering of the world, but like all addictions, the high begins to wear off and the destructive natures of our ego (the thinking mind, the entity we confuse as ourselves) begin to reflect upon one another. We begin feeding a negative cycle which, as long as the ego (desire) is involved, can only end in demise (end of the relationship) at worse case or in greater suffering (a suffering greater than when you were alone) at the least. The wounded Jaden traveling through the video represents our ego, because the ego is suffering. The ego is the part of ourselves that is manufactured over time. The part of us that lives in the past and then reflects upon the future. (Jaden exists in the past but reflects the future with his clothing.) The ego does not exist in the NOW. It can only exist because of time and time is false. The only thing we have is now. Past and future exist only in the human mind.
The ego Jaden represents is struggling to live, because the ego knows only struggle, it needs conflict to continue life. That's why when the verses start, and he begins speaking about the conflict of the "love" feeling, Jaden is the most active. Digging a little more into the ego, it tells you who you are and what to expect based events that no longer exist. It deals mainly in fear. It projects predictions of future moments which may be harmful based on those events. The ego is the lower, animal consciousness in the human nature. It tells us how to protect ourselves, but in doing so, it constructs false fears. Fears which are intensified through the love addiction. In order to transition to another plane of existence however, the ego must die. Since time is a false construct of human consciousness, and ego is a construct of time. Then the ego is a false construct of self. Which means there is another self, a conscious self that exists outside the ego.
Here we enter the man in black. Always a step ahead of the ego. Always observing. Always Passive and guiding the ego where to go. When the video began and Jaden was convulsing through the small town. The man in black was observing, as if already there, observing him. When Jaden exited the house, the observer was already there, watching from the outside (on the right side of the screen), when Jaden went to get the coat which was hanging for his exit, the observer was there behind it waiting for him. When Jaden was listening to man on the moon, the observer was setting up the phone for Jaden to pick up. And after that, the observer had already beat him to the cliff and was already looking out into the nothing, before Jaden had arrived there. The man in black marks many things in this video. Transition being one. From one plane to the next. The passive watcher. But on the notion that this is a video of self discovery, he represents the consciousness outside of ego. Once the observer began watching what the ego was doing, how the ego reacted, he began his transition process. Awareness, or light, drives away the darkness. The consciousness has all the answers already, and was guiding Jaden to the way out. The only way to truly live, is to live in the moment because the moment is all you have. The moment is the only thing that is real. The future you stress about may or may not happen. The past is gone, but the moment is always. The moment exists and the consciousness is aware of the moment.
You'll notice there is a scene here, where Jaden does not die. He yields or submits onto his knees before nature. You'll also notice in that scene, unlike the other scenes that transition from day to night, in this one it is always day, he's always within the light. In this scene also, he moves the least. He is generally still. Except when he evokes the power of love to get in contact with the other self through the Kid Cudi record. Seen with the waving effect of his hand in the "I love you" hand sign and then on the Kid Cudi record before Jaden picks up the phone... of course this hand sign also has esoteric connotation, but that is for you to explore. This scene is the arrival, enlightenment, to be in light. This is the now. This is the moment, the situation that is always. Nothing changes except that he yields to the power of the universe at the end. He accepts all that is and falls before it. Coming to the end of the video we see in all other scenes, he dies. The ego is no more. ("My pride dies with you.") The love addiction which he thought existed does not pick up and he departs into another reality. You'll notice at the end of the music video when he's standing next to the man in black, that Jaden, after he hangs up, begins to phase out of the reality. There is a lot of emphasis on the moon also. (Meeting him there, dying there.) And honestly I'm not all the way sure what the symbolism is there. If anyone else knows feel free to express it.
I'll end this off by saying you will more than likely see what it is you want to see from this song's music video. Just like in all things. You may want to hear this explanation he provides to you, (i.e. "She likes me... I'm surprised you do.", "Meet me on the moon.", "I will show you soon.", "I love you."), as some sort of external experience but I'm thinking this video is more conveying an external expression of an internal process. Although there is an outer process he's describing, I believe it exists on top of the inner one he is conveying. What I'm saying is, when you hear these external references realize that they all exist as a reflection of self. When you have a "love" addiction to someone, the problems which you think they are giving you are actually you reflecting self onto that person. I believe if you are wise and see this for what it is, through that connection you can receive the lessons of the universe and transition to something outside the realm of what you thought was possible. That's what Jaden is doing here, he uses the love addiction as a conduit to transition to the next plane. Without getting too much deeper I'll leave things here.
*If you read all of this congratulations! I hope you got something out of it!* lol
jesus wtf
Wow you wrote nearly 2'000 words dude....
YOU FREAKING GENIUSSSSSS ... Best analyzation yet !!! must be a cancer like Jaden & i lol ..
@ blaquizard good shitttttttt
good shit.
BlaQuizard explains a lot about him personaly
this video is so so sooooo legendary....from jaden himself, the air mags, sunset, calabasas hills, this is amazing and forever will be amazing
There are so many hidden messages it's unreal!
Xzorter explain
Xzorter yea explain
tell us!!!
Xzorter please share
Yea explain
that shoutout to kid cudi man on the moon, respect!
He is always alone
cudi and jaden need more songs together
aminu abdullahi ...These nuts are always on your chin
He is wearing mags cuz the music is set in 1867 and basically, the same shoe was worn by Marty in back to the future, a time traveler movie. Mind blown :V
Dezmona SG or he was tryna show off haha
or hes showing anyone whos watching he doesnt give a fuck
That's crazy I didn't even see that
You're wrong. Marty McFly wore mags in Back to the Future Part 2 which was set in the future. He wore cowboy boots in Part 3 set in 1867.
Well, the point I was trying to make was that in Back to the Future, Marty is seen wearing mags and the most iconic shoes from the films are those mags.
Making it easy to link the song with time travel and all that.
That's why I pointed out Jayden has them on. If he wears cowboy boots no one would think about time travel or anything like that.
Bro this song is so awesome fr jaden killed this still love syre album.its amazing fr still a classic til this day👏🔥👏🔥👏👏🔥👏🔥👏🔥👏👏👏🔥👏🔥👏🔥👏🔥💯💯💯🔥👏🔥👏🔥👏👏🔥👏🔥
this song is a trap...once u hear it u wont be able to stop
Micah Boyd on me
Micah Boyd 😂😂😂 you right man I listen to this everyday at least 50 times😭😭 it's a trap y'all young nigga music to damn good
It's definitely the chords for me

TKing255 nah its bettet this way mainstream ppl be wrecking everything

TKing255 they probably shouldn't lol
God bless you dude
Brainblock1221 jaden knows better not to change when everyone looking at him that's just how he is
jaden smith the typa guy to eat cereal off the floor and call it art
all love tho
yo this just made me laugh. 😄
dyluded 😂
dyluded ..I'm dead
"feed the kids dopamine an leave em sitting on the couch".. "yo vibrations make me levitate i need yo energy".. this is kid cudi influenced my dude you can see the man on the moon record behind him. this is probably one of the most naturally artistic beautiful videos ive ever seen
That ending is genius, in my opinion, it was also what stuck out to me the most. He had filmed himself messing around with a microphone and this beat and he was just freestyling the ending, super nice.
this song is unstopable
Honestly i have listened to this song consecutively for like 3 months and it only gets better and better the more i listen to it
Icon was hot but this one just has a better vibe with it.
Damn, yes boy💚
I agree
Fax
Speaking facts 👌👌
Honestly yea that’s so true
Jaden was ahead of his time with this classic, finna have my future generations listening to this
🔥🔥 this is lit. I wonder why jaden smith is still underrated.
supremo padilla bc people are more worried about him dirtying up an expensive pair of Nike Mags THAT HE BOUGHT than his music which is litty 🔥
2:10 so nobody’s gonna mention how smooth that move is
Local Bastard you mean 2:17 hiss feet tho
So funny saw this and was like damn that smooth AF!
No "hype"
No Swear words
Actual Emotion
Actual Meaning
Rapping about how he feels
Hes gonna be the next thing, just watch
this guy gets it!
+leo yeah he actually raps about what happened to him and made the music video and the lyrics have a lot of meaning, unlike these other black kids who just says juju on the beat and say slide drop do your dab with no meaning behind the song what so ever.
YoImPT shut yo racist ass up .I'm " black" I listen to this ...this has nothing what so ever to do with color you disgusting piece of trash..what the fuck is wrong with you racist ass people nowadays ?.. sad oh well grow up.. pathetic joke
YoImPT lmao you straight destroyed him and his whole family
Kanye inspired him.
Guys the way the song starts @ 0:07 gives me immense goosebumps no matter how many times l'v listened to it😢
Take me to the truth
Take me home with you
Change my taste in music
I'm fallen, Make me rise with you
She likes me, I'm surprised you do
Look, your love's like a river, bae
I've seen better days, yeah
And my soul, you penetrate, I need your energy
Vibrations make me levitate, sipping Hennessy
Reading bell hooks, she just saying
I'm surprised you do, baby
I won't lie to you, I love you
I'm a guy who's new
Hide me from the blue
I'm dying on the moon
And I just need you
Baby, you are so unusual like cutting cuticles
But that is just what makes you beautiful
Like watching tulips grow
When you walk, it's just slow motion baby
Why you moving slow?
When you talk, I got my lasers on you like a UFO
Girl your eyes are like the open sea, the simple poetry
This whole generation, OMG, I see its soul, it's older
We should build a city overseas, this country kinda cold
I mean they feed they children dopamine
And leave them on the sofa
I mean, ah, I need someone to renounce with, woah
Ice bucket challenge in the fountain, woah
Chance of finding you, one in a hundred thousand, woah
I just wanna kiss you on the mountain, woah
Spend some time with you
I might bend the rules
Cause I'm in love with you
You can see the truth
I will show you soon
Just meet me on the moon
She said love is a strong word
Said, love is a strong word
Well I'm a sing it for you baby, I'll be your song bird
If we don't have no loving
How we supposed to move on, word?
Heard a brother just got shot
Because he stopped on the wrong curb
If love is a strong word, love is a strong word
But we'll need lots of loving if we wanna move on, word
And I'm a sing it to you, baby, I'll be your song bird
But I'm a keep it honest with you
I won't lie to you
My pride dies with you
Girl, I love you too
I will see you soon
Your homework is due
Naju X awesome
Naju X it's muse

I like the movie karate kid I made my own karate kid 7 I can do the corner kick twist kid side kick and I get trained by sinsa Yang watch it
Naju X thank u 💜
It's so weird watching stars grow up...i'm younger than jaden but i feel like he went from being younger than me to be older than me for some reason.p
Alexa Loren probably because the boy is wise beyond his years
I know right...
You're younger than him but he was younger than you now he's older than you..? my brain hurts
Let me break this down for all of you. I have always been younger than Jaden and forever will be but it's the fact that he looks so grown up compared to when he was a kid.
zober, that still makes no sense
God damn it jaden wtf dude you are fire straight fire what am I listening too I've never felt this much hype in such a long time.
Listen to the lyrics
The beat is ear melting goodness
been here since 2017, will always love this track. Timeless.
love this kids originality doesnt sound like anyone before
Batman Batman Batman.. What?
