This that shit right here. I don't get this generation ,when music is about bull shit they give it all thumbs up. But when a artist is speakin real everyday life knowledge they thumb it down.
D Whoop people don't want the truth these days. Blacks in particular. We would rather party and bullshit and try to forget about the issues at ✋. It's the same reason why artist like Common will only sell but so many units, while Migos go platinum. I'm not saying Common or any artist like him hasn't been successful. And I'm not saying that I too don't listen to other types of music. (Not really Migos but they got a couple songs I like). But u can see the difference in popularity. Jay Z said in an old verse he use rapped like Common Sense. Did low numbers and ain't rapped like Common sense. Or the other rhyme where he said truthfully he be like Talib Kweli. But he knew what would sell. Thankfully he's come around and realized that he is so accepted and has a big enough platform to where he can say what he wants and put more messages in the music. Regardless whether he always did or not, I tip my hat to him. Cuz he didn't have to. He's rich enough to where he could be like Michael Jordan and not give two shits about the black community. But he has shown that he does. I'm proud of him for that.
🤜🏾☄️💥🔥🔥🔥 It’s Still Pertinent TODAY!!😒DC...Living Like They’re Bullet Proof! 🎯🚁🌅🌄⚰️💣🧨💔🆘 Life Is Too Precious & So Short!! Live & Let Live!! Down with Guns!! 💯❗️
I know that Sasha, I was just saying that it sounds like something Marvin Gaye would do if he were alive today hence new aged Marvin Gaye. I am well aware that this is not "new" music. Thanks.
wild that this song is so underrated...after all these years, it still rings true...the only brotha i've ever heard to channel the voice of Marvin Gaye and subject matter of Curtis Mayfield
Conscious musicians never get the respect and push within the industry they deserve because they attempt to wake the masses through song. P.S. Luda smashed this song.
This album is an instant classic, and it's a damn shame that many blind eyes are blind to see it. This dude has so much grace and is Marvin Gaye's recarnation, he is the truth. Plz support this dude, the album is dope!!!
Do u realize how hard this song is? U ever made a beat? Ever wrote a song? Ever sung/rapped in front of a crowd? I have. This is extremely hard to do at this level.
This is one of the best songs ever...has a Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Gaye feel with a REAL message to boot. Priceless!!!!! Damn the number of views. You can't expect shallow people to watch deep things but we get it still!!!!! You all three should do somehing else along these lins. Still my ringtone since it came out. Smooches!!!
Oh my goodness, a song with a socially conscious message and no one shaking their a*s and taking off their clothes. It's a shame we don't hear more songs like this anymore.
IIIIIIIIII LOVE IT! SO DEEP AND SO COMPELLING AND SO MESSAGE-DRIVEN. IT'S GOT A MARVIN GAYE SWAG INTRODUCING ITSELF TO THE 21ST CENTURY! WELL DONE FELLAS, WELL DONE!
This is the song i chose to write about for my journal in school (on May 19) George Floyd died from the police on May 25. This song was played on the radio right before i heard the news #blacklivesmatter
love this song the old-school sound but yes speaking about the politics of the day speaking up to educate people positive role model Ludacris also together they stand go ahead and speak up represent.
Whoooo!!!!! That right there is R&B for the new millineum. REAL TALK Raheem DeVaughn is like Mavin Gaye reincarnated and this is the type of message that is sorely lacking in today's so-called popular music. If you haven't copped this album please pick up the Love&War Masterpeace and support this brotha.
Finally a song that actuall makes you think about the world we live in...Song should be in constant rotation on the radio instead of whats constantly played..Marvin Gaye and the rest would be so proud!!!
is it me or are we doing hard times as the song of Marvin Gaye Inner city blues? Raheem is our Marvin, this song is right on.Things aren't getting any better don't know what to pray for anymore....I feel like the lord have giving up on us
R and B's Version of Dead Prez. They sleep on you Raheem. And God knows this is one of the best verse that Luda has made in a couple of years. It's like when his hunger let so did his talent.
The Revolution is Us. Love y'all Respect it hurts to see us like this I miss y'all I came from a day that was dark but this life the streets was my family that taught me love but they also taught to face my self. Be good
I enjoyed watching Raheem as the featured artist on VH1 (Soul Story) this video is one of my fav plus "WOMAN" which was my ringtone & his latest "Love Connection". Luv u brother, keep the hits coming.
Another classic jam that needs to be passed around in the hood to maybe stop the violence among the masses of poor black people in the us and Afrika World Wide. This is protected by the RED, BLACK and GREEN !!!

Marvin Gaye would be proud of this track!
Proud indeed!
sounds like new aged Marvin Gaye
I know that Sasha, I was just saying that it sounds like something Marvin Gaye would do if he were alive today hence new aged Marvin Gaye. I am well aware that this is not "new" music. Thanks.
And they're both from D.C. too!
Peps sleep on this Cat.. music is real
This song rings true . This is why they shut him out POWERFUL MUSIC
wild that this song is so underrated...after all these years, it still rings true...the only brotha i've ever heard to channel the voice of Marvin Gaye and subject matter of Curtis Mayfield
It's exactly why tho it's true
His voice is a lot more like Curtis than Marvin. Especially when he stacks his vocals with his falsetto. Good break down
I hear a lot of old school vocal styles like The Young Hearts tenor Ronnie. Rah is just🔥
Timeless music 🔥🤞🏾
This dude was speaking real knowledge, that’s why it never got bigger than it’s supposed to have been 💯
Have to be independent and make the brand blow up
No that's not it.
This song is POWERFUL ...this is what's is happening right know ..Lord watch, protect and guide us... It's real out here
Right!
One of the realest speaking and SINGING brothers I've heard in a long time. I bump all his stuff in my ride and the crib. ALL THE TIME.
Conscious musicians never get the respect and push within the industry they deserve because they attempt to wake the masses through song. P.S. Luda smashed this song.
Mr. WeAreTheWorld aka Sir Samuel of Louisiana 💯💯💯
Yes he did!!!
Yep, the devil never wants you to wake up, so the put out garbage that will keep you asleep.
Nuggets salute
Cuz I rather die on my feet than to live on my knees...woooooooooo! Straight heat!
read that as soon as he said it
I hear the Marvin Gaye influence in his voice ❤️🔥🔥🔥 I still listen to this album 💿 been a fan since Guess who loves me more dropped back in 2004/2005
Mzshey2006, got you beat. 72 years young, and still listening to this song and loving Luda....😊😊😊😊
sounds like a young Marvin Gaye🎵🎵🎵🔫🔫🔫
It is a sample of one of his song
*This Song is Nothing But the Truth...* *chills!*
A real brother. That's underrated. Especially this song. This song Curtis Mayfield would've loved.
Definitely Curtis vibes
He also so reminds me of Curtis Mayfield
Marvin Gaye sound
Yes, very much Curtis Mayfield!!!!
Thought he was the son of William DeVanghn, they actually sound the same
Very much so
Definitely Curtis vibes
This album is an instant classic, and it's a damn shame that many blind eyes are blind to see it. This dude has so much grace and is Marvin Gaye's recarnation, he is the truth. Plz support this dude, the album is dope!!!
I of the most slept on deepest cuts ever!!! We gotta get itt 2geda my bothers and sisters
caint pay the preacher for your redemption is deep
"I know where we headed, I already read it, the Good book done said it"!
Respect, brother Raheem. The truth in the form of music.
This joint still give me the goosebumps 💣💣💣
Me too, love it!
I have been a follower of his music since he started in early 2000s, this song resonates what is happening today in the world.
Real songs with a message don't get much promo
DAAAMN..THIS VIBE HITS DIFFERENT 😮LUDA KILLED THAT VERSE 👌🏾👍🏾💪🏾🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Good combination, and everything ludacris gets on he murders it.
Why the heck isn't he more famous?
because of songs like this
+Curtis Bradley yep
the truth is not wanted no profits in it
maybe because he still has his soul, and hasn't sold it for empty profit. I love this song.
This song here got him boycotted for years. I'm glad he's back now though. He's an amazing artist
This song was made for today “2020”
one of the realest track of all time
Aaron Williams we got the same name
@@adub92199 dope name of a king
This song and video speaks truth into our lives if we'd just listen...... there is a lesson to be learned.
Do u realize how hard this song is? U ever made a beat? Ever wrote a song? Ever sung/rapped in front of a crowd? I have. This is extremely hard to do at this level.
