- There's a new generation of young people unwilling to bust their knuckles to make it. I just wanted to share some motivational words. Give the "hard job" a try. They can be the most rewarding.
Nothing feels better than a job done by hands and sweat
That’s one of the many reasons I love you, your music and your message. You talk to young people instead of just calling them “lazy” and you explain life. Good job D. Listen young people.
Bro finding out your a mason makes me respect you so much more! I’m a 31 year old mason who was taught by my father and I appreciate what your doing! Your work is killer bro! Also love the music and everything you said about our trade is 100 percent true
awesome video, I'm 15 and I work in construction and I'm about to go to school for masonry
dude Im 15 and help my uncle do whatever he wants me to do, usually the same as construction work,
Glad to hear it bud, nothing is more rewarding, than actually working ur ass off, and bringing home an honest living.
Sick
My Daddy did Masonry work from the time he was 16, he is 71 now and has Alzheimers and cant work anymore. When I think about how hard my Daddy worked to raise me and my 3 siblings I get real humble I couldn't do it. Thank you for sharing I just let my Daddy watch this agian he asks to alot. I've always been a fan but my Daddy listens to you now at 71 cause you are a brick layer. It brings good memories back when he cant remember anything else so much love and appreciation to you Demon Jones
My father was a mason, my brother is a mason and I really respect the hard work and actually building something and leaving behind a legacy. I'm a diesel mechanic and build custom Harleys. I was good at mixing mud but could never get the hang of laying block. Much respect and your right our children need to know what something being bought with blood sweat and tears actually means. That's why my son doesn't get shit unless there is a fair amount of work put out for it.
Not only do I love his music but I admire him as a person and his work ethic. As a welder, I can relate. we need more dudes like demun in this world!
I worked in stone masonry for a little over 16 years of my life, now for the past 4 years Ive been working in HVAC. I really hope all my hard work pays off eventually with the good lord willin. Love your music bo much love
Could not have said it better. There is a great amount of satisfaction in being able to stand back and admire something you built with your own hands especially when you can go back 10, 20, or 30 years later and say I built that and it is still here.
Big facts man. My grandfather told me when I was 8 that if I learned to build homes like him I could go anywhere in the world and support my family. I have traveled the US building before I settled back down in NC to start my company. Great info for the younger kids
that's an awesome message coming from a welder myself, the knowledge you learn will stay with you for a lifetime!!
Amen! Real talk! I started working when I was 13, working on a drill rig, digging water wells, ABSOLUTELY HATED IT, cuz my buddies were out running around, after years of construction, (and shitty jobs,) went to Trade School, 17 yrs ago, I woke for one of the largest HVAC companies in the country, making respectable money. Ain't rich, but can take care of the family. Young people today have no clue what hard work is, they live in a dream world. And when they finally do wake up, there's gonna be a whole lot of crying!!!!
nothing better than working hard. I'm 17 go to a technical school half the day for masonry. work with a company that gave me an opportunity to work on commercial building laying and laboring. look forward to joining the bricklayers union after graduation
amen brother, im 14 and I started the same way and still am helping my dad and ive gotten to the point where I can do things the way you do things and I agree so many young people now a days dont know the worth in hard work what it means to others and your self. amen brother
That's the man right there. We need more Demun Jones in America today
im 37 been in construction since 18 thanks for repen the small guys that bust ass daily. good job encouraging the younger generation it feels pritty good so see your hard laber build enything. wa st 🔨 ⬇boy
hell yeah man. amen. there's even adults that don't know how to put the time into making or building anything. they'd rather just pay some other person to do it for them. get out there and create something, anything, so you can say "I made that" it's more rewarding than can be described.
Camo Kev let them pay me to do what ever they want, I grew up when we needed a new roof we didn't pay some one to do it we went to the hardware store bought the shingles and reshingled the roof
demun you will never have to worry about no one wanting to listen to your music as long as im alive
I haven't heard such wisdom in awhile. The young generation needs too see this because they are the future. Which would be nicer if people will learn how to use their hands again. Man was made to work. Demun, you the best.
nothing more satisfying than putting blood sweat and tears in to something then completing it, only real sense of satisfaction you can achieve in life and you never realise that untill you do it
OH HELL YEAH!!!! Younger generation needs to listen to this man.
My dad owned a few companies that ran underground telephone cable for probably 35ish years. He always was out with the crews or somehow involved on a daily basis, so threw that I learned how to operate backhoes & excavators with some knowledge. Then after he stopped doing that he went to flipping and building houses and I can say I've been involved in everything from the concrete forms up to the shingles.
Like Demun said it is the most satisfying feeling when you can look at something and just feel accomplished because you did it, yourself. I was truly blessed to have those opportunities.
I'm 17 and training to be a welder I've been a fan of yours since rehab and this video really inspired me thank you can't wait til it gets cold again so I can wear my JCDJ hoodie
i have even more respect for you for not paying someone to do tgat for you. the world need more people like you to show that do it your self isnt about being cheap and that hard work pays off and keeps you humble.
Amen. I worked my way thru life from 15 to 35 and I'm a heavy equipment operator now. I earned my seat.
im 15 years old and got my first job at the age of 14 and i just purchased a truck its a 97 ford 7.3 powerstroke chipped and has a stack wicked wheeled turbo and has 30 over injectors i paid with my money not mommys and daddys. and i agree the younger generation dont know what hard work is but i sure as hell do.
You get nothing in this life without some skin in the game. Thanks for putting this out D.
Yea man. Demun. I’m a local 1 elevator constructor here in NEW YORK. I’m been building shit with my hands since I was 12. At the age of 14 I took apart a chainsaw and rebuilt the engine and fires it up. That thing was in the garbage when my dad threw it out. From that sound of a motor I’ve been a hot rodder ever since. But the elevators pays the bills and for the toys. The new generation of kids today think right out of school they are going to make 150k plus. You should here them talk. I think all children that have dads that are handy and are in the trades should teach their kids even if they hate it. They will always remember it. It is most rewarding when you have built it with your hands and can look back at it. Thanks for the new video. And can’t wait for some new hits!
38 year old mason from s.w.Virginia live in Montana now,where hard work still valued! love your music, get your tool's and come on out to big sky country!
could not have said it better myself. much respect for you sir
Amen amen amen yes sir. I am 32 years old and I am from a small town in Kentucky I can't read or write a lick and didn't finish much school but my dad and my granddaddy taught me how to build homes since I was in diapers I've been on the job site and now my family is took care of yes there is daily struggles of not being able to read and write but there's nothing like being able to build something with your hands the satisfaction at the end of the day knowing you have done something that will be there for many many years is undescribable PS I absolutely love Damon Jones and Upchurch
Amen I'm following I'm my dads footsteps goin in to construction just like his dad and his dad before him my dad taught me that there's nothin better than a hard days work and knowin that you've earned every bit of what you got at the end of the day and the best thing is I'm only 17 gettin ready turn 18 and I'm workin harder and doin more with my life than ppl twice my age
I personally can respect this as a young man at the age of 17, but I've never been taught to build with bricks, and stones as my family are mechanics and metal workers, but the same message still applies. Nothing but respect for the man, hard worker, and artist with both his voice and hands.
It’s Saturday night and I just stumbled upon this video, I see it is a few years old but the message is time less! I am a carpenter, learned my craft by skinning my knuckles, and I am trying everyday to send that message to young people! I have 20 people that work for me and I have learned that our younger generations take pride in learning this trade and becoming quality craftsmen and women! If our kids were taught the value of earning a living in a trade based profession as a real option for those who do not see academic pursuits in there future, trade jobs would once again be a destination occupation and a source of pride for all Americans!
Never stop making music it's the best I have ever heard no matter the time or day I listen to your music
i was a mason been out for five years now but i do miss it,something about building things with your hands that can be around generations after you die. keep rocking Demun Jones
My dad told me 30 years ago at 10 to learn everything you can and I did construction,Cars,Trucks,electrical...... My son is 19 and he can frame walls, hang doors push wire tuck point and on and on!!! I tried to be 1/4 of who my father was and to teach my son the same!!! and he aint afraid of hard work and understands the value of a dolor GOD BLUSS AMERICA!!!!!!
Yes sir. Started work in with my pops early paintin houses n moved on up to framin n then to bein a ironworker. Hard work is a way of life
Absolutely amen bro
So true. I’ve always worked starting at a young age. I got my first official job at 16 as a logger and it was the hardest but most rewarding work I’ve done.
this is spot on!!
I grew up on a small farm, from a young age, I was working in the fields helping with the haying, and when i was old enough i was running the tractor and machinery, along with helping them maintain em.
Its sad that most of the younger generation doesn't want to put the time and effort to learn a trade, or the school systems discourage the students from learning a trade, and push college.
All that said, mad respect Demun Jones
good message, I wish my dad was in a field that I wanted too learn. He is now a retired payphone repairman. Now I am at an age trying too get a job @ 55 yr, going too school too drive a truck again after 20 yrs of being out of it
I am going after it, I have six weeks of school left too go. By the way I love your music.
I'm 16 and I have been on a job since I was able to pick up wood. I glade I have had the chance to learn all parts to do with a house. It is something that I am proud of that no one can take from me.
Love you music Demun Jones. Met you in 2015 at the Ride for Autism in Livingston, Ca with the Moonshine Bandits
You know Darlin, just this week we took on a twenty-two-year-old Apprentice. My husband is a Master Mason and master Carpenter, Master tile Setter and master painter. He's still working 80 hours a week at 64 years old. Apprenticeships need to be given! Older men need to take these younger men and teach them how to build a landscape! How to fix their cars, how to keep their homes running, how to fix roof leaks or when their well goes out or when they're septic backs up...
Another plus is that any man that works with block will keep his twenty-year-old figure until he's 55!
I'm 34 an a Mason my self. I love what I do and I'm proud to be rebuilding my town after hurricane Michael..
Im old scholl im in the landscaping and both my kids 14 son and 16 daughter both kno hard work and they do dam good job thank u mr. Jones for this vid and ur music
Im 16 and work part time for a guy who owns a handyman service, and theres nothin id rather do to be makin money because i know i worked for it and earned it 💪🏻

good message bubba!
My Dad told me once " when you start a new Job, do it to learn a new Skill, make your self more Invaluable " I started working when I was 13 in a Tulsa Slaughter House, I am now a Trucker, Mechanic, Fabricator, I can operate Heavy Equipmnt, but being a Trucker got me in Trouble with my Health. I have to have a Liver Transplant, but God s blessed m and Dr's just released me to go back to work. Seem one of the Drugs they had me on made my condition worse, took me off it BANG I may not need the the Transplant. Someone is watching over me. Dig the post
Workin' for it... What this country was founded on. I feel you're love Brother. I've been kinda a "Southern Jack of all trades" all my life. Cutting and Dragging draggin 4 tractor trailer loads of logs a day. Plus turning them into building sticks for years. Not to mention being a mechanic to keep everything Rollin to do it. Love what you stand for. It took me a long time to realize what Papaw was teaching me years ago.
Demun you should make more videos like this A I love your music and B this is a great message to alot of people and its a message i relate to
I know this is two years ago and I still couldn't agree more. I just came across your music and I absolutely love it. Going into the trades as an electrician at 21 and I agree, hard work pays off and it's so much more rewarding. In school currently and graduating in 10 months. Hope to have a nice long career ahead of me, learn a lot and use it all to my advantage to help others when I can.
Ain't nothin' more rewardin' than work...trust in that.
Brother you one young man outta my Georgia worthy of respect.
Very few show the heart and love for anything indigenous to Dixie that you do.
Bless you rebel brother
Bang! Dave you got it brother ,never afraid to be real ,i pray that some these youngins hear your message and heed it
hell yea I agree been Workin since was 14 I've word different jobs oil rigs and mill wright work and pipe fittings I'm actually still Workin doin millwright work I'm 27 now broke my back was out of work a year get back in it and don't stop I wake up and go hard every day to take care of a Wife and 4 kids and live in Monticello ga on Jackson lake not far from u demon Jones me and my son's wife and daughter love ur music hope to meet u one day
Im 23, yes that means i fall in the millennial age group, i did one year of college, figured out its not for me came back home and went to work. My father was a ironworker for 40 years and would bring me to work with him on saturudays from the time i was ten years old. i work for a small excavating firm, i work for the things i have. i bought a truck two years ago brand new because i saved my money and worked my ass for it. I'm the minority of my generation but i will say not all of us are lazy. i know plenty of people my age who go to work. i also know allot who don't and that truly saddens me because those people will never know how the world truly operates.a friend sued me why i don't try to put lotion on my hands to keep the calluses off, i laughed at him and said I'm dam proud of em thats why.
I like this man I was raised on a hay farm grew up working their at about 13 then I started doing towing and mechanics with my dad now I'm 21 going to school to become a emt here in nahunta and Brunswick ga work ethic is everything man I have learned many feilds of work and each field of work that you do is always a good thing as long as you are working
I was 15 yrs old workin with a block layer building house foundations out in the middle of bfe and hauling water in 5 gallon buckets 300yards up from a creek i had to bust the ice to get down to the water- and now you know why i wrench on cars in a heated shop lol Jones you one tough ol boy cant wait to see your place all decked out
Concrete life got me where I am now! Hard work pays off
Im 40, been a carpenter for 17 years and I decided to start in masonry this year. Never too late!
Hey demun since I was 17 I've worked for my gpa he is a mason and I have learned what work actually is and I love it little manual labor and bumps and bruises never hurt anyone I'm learning how to lay block and brick right now kids now a days
I'm glad to see that you encourage young people like this keep up the great work I got 7 kids been married 20 years only 46 years old but man I know what it means to get up and get your butt to work no matter how sick you feel because life won't stand still for you and by the way I like that song campfire cologne you guys did awesome job
Damn right! Preach Demun, Preach
Nice message Mr. Jones. A trade will put food on the table and some jingle in your pocket. There is no shame EVER in hard work.
I couldn't agree with you more!! I always get told how impressed people are with how hard my kids work. I'm very proud of them for not being like other kids today! My son will be staying his third year of trade school in a few weeks (his Senior year of high school) and he is dual enrolled at Jeff St for welding. I'll tag you with a picture on twitter
My dad was a drywall hanger and started his own business when I was 5. Loved to go to the job sites with him on weekends and learned to hang and tape myself. Started out by doing clean up and stocking jobs and we're talking 4 x 12 5/8" rock climbing stairs and having to go through narrow door ways tough on a young back. Now I am in sales and sit in front of a computer all day. The pay is good but boring work. Look forward to weekends mowing the lawn and trimming trees on my property. Real work.
One of the most respected guys out there cause the work he put into getting where he is, brick/block masons that’s hard work. Got family that do it and I respect and love’m for the people they are I reckon anything worth having is worth working your ass off to obtain whether it be masonry or mechanics or electrical learn a trade and always have something to fall back on that’s the lesson I hope my children learn.
I appreciate what you are doing. Thanks for the message to the youth.
damn right!! I build barns, it ain't easy! but it pays the bills. hope the younger generation can take heed of this and change the outlook that we have on them. time to step up and become what you think you are!!!
Agreed!!!!! I'm only 27 have 2 pieces of land with houses on them about 40 trucks and grew up working especially on the farm! Keep it up man
Much respect Demun.
so agree. I learned how to build houses when I was 12 from my dad. I still use the knowledge to this day. I don't do it for a living but if I needed to I could. Hard work is the best reword . To see the look on the families face when they move in is amazing! Keep up the good work bro. and can't wait for the new album!
Amen...Amen❤
Your exactly right cousin!!!!!! The younger gen dont know wat hard work is. Ive been workin since i was 8. Im out pourin concrete every day, bustin tail to take care of my family. I hope this vid helos to motivate the younger gen to get out n work hard like we do. Theres to many out there with their hand out wantin a handout, its a shame.
Hell yea im 16 and I've been helping a brick mason for the past few weeks it's hard and hot work but the things you build will be there for a lifetime
I agree .. I'm 18 I work 53 hour weeks at a time shop . it's long and hard getting up at 7:30 getting off at 5 5 days a week and 7:30 12 on Saturday . I'd be willing to learn all more if I had the chance too
As a mason from Canada. I can honestly say, it's a good feeling knowing my work will outlast me. Looks pretty damn good as well.
Trades are a dying art its kind of sad , you the man.
my name is Brandon and man I'm right there with you on that one ... I'm 17 and I'm learning all I can about the real world and the tricks of the trade bc I have worked with my dad since I was 5 and now I know about how to fix my truck , how to work in a chicken house , ho to work as a ranch hand , how to fix small engines , and not only that me and my family are prepares and we have been stocking up on food and guns 4 awhile now and like I say " u can't learn nothing without getting a sunburn and gettin ur hands dirty"
One thing about being a tradesman, no one will or can ever take your skill away from you. You can end up broke,and alone. No one can take your skills from you.
Work hard, dont be afraid of a scar. It makes us who we are.
"Learn to work with no gloves so your hands get tough"
Hell yea brother, ive been setting tile since i was 15, im now 27 with my own tile business with more work than i can handle lol, wish this next generation had a good work ethic 🤙🏻
Great man the most joung people are lost without anything
I've been laying bricks and chicks since 98, just starting to get into your music and I love it
im 21 and i know how to do all this stuff i learned from watching an doing its awesome seeing u trying to spreed the word of hard work
I'm a Bricklayer from South Australia , in Adelaide and it is good to build with your hands for sure .
Great job …, your family taught you well… as terrific you passing it down to future generations… God Bless
I could not have said it better it myself. It is really nice to hear someone else that feels the way I do about rewards of hard work. keep doing what you do man!!!
I'm 16 and was brought around this so I plan on doing this kind of work for a living I've built fixed many things in my 16 years of age but I do notice a lot of young people that hate this stuff it's sad I think
Bricklaying/masonry is hard work and certainly an art. Respect to those that do it. More vids like this!
I already had a ton of respect fo re this man. But this, this takes my respect to all time high.
Thank you John
100%, learned how to do it with my dad from the time I could walk.
GREAT MESSAGE!!! I do fencing of all types...hard work...pays off in the end though. Like you I too work with my dad and he's been in construction ever since I was little..very inspiring to be working next to him.. thank you for what you do. keep flowing both lyrics and rock..
Much love and respect from Australia ❤👍
love your hat brother. good message your spot on.
" pride and want to " is what our youth needs.
I'm 19 now starting working concrete at 16 been working construction ever since I know carpentry metal work and masonry still learning but I have came a long way from where I started all it takes is perseverance hard work and dedication if you can imagine it we can build it
couldn't agree more brother
This is why he is great....never forget where you came from brother
