I’m listening to this in 2022 with my daughter of 12 hours in my arms. I remember listening to this song at the lowest point in my life to now listening at the best moments of my life. Feels good man!
Smoquan Vasquez totally agree, the music is what counts the most without it the video wouldent even matter. im just saying now a days people dont put a lot of effort into the visual anymore just throw random clips of bullshit on top of crappy lyrics.
There are a ton of music videos with stories. You just have to get away from mainstream songs to see them. Look up "J.Cole - Crooked Smile" & "Joey Bada$$ - Like Me". Both videos tell a great story.
Loves this song growing up. When I lost my brother I didn't want to listen to shit we listened to as kids... Thinking if I get tired of this song that I would disrespect his memory. Finally got the courage to listen to it again almost five years after his passing. And I cried... I cried because this song means so much to me... And I hope maybe someday I'll meet him again. Let be at the crossroads....
My Lil brother used to like this song. His lovely spirit brought me here. Rip Craig Keith Jr. 😢😍 ironically he died the year this song came out. Stop the violence.
i was locked up when this song came out i was facing a life sentence i had about 6 months in when i heard it. and after 2 years of waiting on my trail in my cell i finally got my prayers answered was found not guilty . but n.e.ways just i ran across this song on RUclips and i thought i share my memory. but on onther note God is always working and listening dont give up ever. keep your head up always keep the man up stairs first.
This song goes out to anyone that's ever had to struggle or hustle hard to get what they want in life. Stay humble, stay focused and keep grindin'. Don't give up. There is a light at the end of the tunnel!
One of the realest hip hop songs ever made and this is coming from a white man that's not from the hood but I still feel all the lyrics.Thats what real music does,makes you feel others struggles that you've never went through yourself but certain lines hit me hard especially the family bars.
To anyone who feels like it never gets easier; keep trying, keep going. Never give up. Keep those who lift you up close and leave those who hold you down. Remember that you are loved and you are worth it. Keep trying hard brothers and sisters.
Thank you not directed to me but life has been kicking me in the ball's since 2012 everyone close to me has died since then but I got new including my 7yr old daughter
im 37 years old and white i grew up up listening to bone thugs, i dont see color in this world i see people, i treat everyone with respect and i try to teach my son the same values, and that is what this world lacks is respect for humans
Can’t explain how much this song means to me. I am entering rehab for addiction for the 8th time tomorrow and this brought me a little bit of peace. Whatever battle you are fighting, keep going 🫡🫡🫡🙏🙏🙏
Thugz are slept on.. I member when they dropped the visuals I cried no cap. I was like 9/10 and could understand this song on the level it was suppposed to be felt.
Life has been very difficult lately. Many times I find myself crying and asking God, 'Why always me?' There are good days, but the bad days seem to be more predominant... The only certainty I have is that everything will get better... When, I don't know, but everything will be okay.
I was in your position before and recently, actually. Try being a blessing to others who need help. Whatever small acts of kindness and love can share go a long way to making you feel better.
U know what if everything seems lost n confused ..n down.. Jst pray to maker of the the stars suns moons actually the universe. HE is there u wont get lost he will run coming to u . pray and work hard
Right now, there are people all over the world who are just like you. They are either lonely. They are missing somebody, they are depressed, they are hurt, they are scarred from the past, they are having personal issues no one knows about, they have scared you wouldn't believe. They wish they dream and they hope. And right now, they are sitting here read this word, and I am writing this for you so you don't feel alone anymore. Always remember, don't be depressed about the past and don't worry about the future, just focus on today. If todays not so great don't worry tomorrow's a new chance. Have a nice day ❤
I don't know you but GOD BLESS YOU 4 real...you already know. I can't win....no matter my faith. But I still have hope!! 40 years next month!!! Humble and listening. Learning and healing, helping everyone.
We've all tried hard & tried hard an things didn't quite go our way.!!! Sending good vibes to each of yall.... may things get better for ya wherever u may be
I’m 13, just started listening to this song through my dad. Listening to this song showed me the true struggles of hustlers. Thank you, Dad, for introducing this masterpiece to me and teaching me the true struggles that you went through that I don’t have to go through.
Hey, listen carefully, I know you’ve probably heard this a million times. But life is going to 100% break you. Break. You. Remember these small memories of strength. It’s what will keep you going.
@@byScottson Thank you so much for this word of advice, seriously. This’ll go a long way and these times of strength will show me that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and that life is truly great and to never give up on it. Thank you so much again, Buttery.
you can't find it main stream go look for the underground guys like ( hard target) if u want good music like this you need go underground music cuz main stream now a days is trash
You would never be in need if he just did his damn job and helped from the beginning. Im tired of everyone giving the lord all the thanks and he the reason the world fucked up. Everyone is brainwashed. I said what i said
I wanna thank God for getting me out the streets And I'm sorry for dodging your words Mama I love you I'm sorry for all the extra I've put u through I love you
While listening to this song, i can't stop thinking thats is so sad that we live in a world were humans can fly between stars, explore the depths of our oceans but we cannot figure out that there is only one race. The human race, who cares the color of the skin, where you come from or even who you love all of it is part of the human race. To all people reading this i wish you health and safety for the road that lies ahead. ❤
I lost my brother a couple of weeks ago and this was a tune we jammed to as kids means the world to me, 25 is no age to get taken, RIP Ryan my G one love brother
I do too..I miss this era..I know this song is mostly about racial profiling and struggling as a minority in a bad environment and trying to overcome those circumstances. I'm white and this song always breaks me down to my core..I tear up knowing all the good I've done but reminding me of the struggles I've been through and continue to push through for my family. Life is beautiful but hard, but if you choose to challenge it and keep pushing back, eventually there is a brighter future. I've been slowly seeing it the last few years.. This is one of my favorite songs ever.. It makes you feel and think..
Lmfao this song came out in 2007, arguably one of the worst eras of hip hop and the peak of ringtone rap. Don't get me wrong, there was some great music in 07, but most of it was dated garbage. Don't let nostalgia inform your opinion so much.
@@BlankScreenSessions a song can mean wtv u make it 💯 the video giving that message but the song just giving hope telling ppl going thru it to keep trying neva give up and stay down ‼️
@@austinisme2477 2007 may not have been a great year for rap music, but this track is definitely one of the diamonds found in the pile of trash. Whether nostalgia is hitting like a McGregor hook or not, this song is undeniably good. It talks about real shit and hits some people close to home and in the feelings like good music should.
If your bumping this still in 2021 you've made it thru some of the realist shit and hardest times and still some to come and for that we the people need to rise against and come together as one to fight all the negativity and negative energy in this world that corrupts the weak minded sheep... #Amen
I loved running streets and doing the deal! Getting clean & sober & trying to get away from that lifestyle and old acquaintances has been such a struggle for me. Props to those doing the deal clean. It's a daily fucking challenge!
Hits hard when you’re grown. Working so hard just to keep failing. And sometimes people don't even know how hard you’re trying as a man…just to fail over and over again. But we still keep that faith alive, hoping to finally "make it" one day 🤧🙏🏾
First time i seen this video. The energy and message made me emotional. Bone thugs need their roses now. One of the best hip hop groups of all time. Rest in peace Eazy E.....❤
🎶🎶 I 🎶🎶 love 🎶🎶 Bone. 🎶🎶 🎶🎶 I 🎶🎶 love 🎶🎶 Akon. 🎶🎶 🎶🎶 I 🎶🎶 love 🎶🎶 the 🎶🎶 song. 🎶🎶 🎶🎶 I 🎶🎶 love 🎶🎶 the 🎶🎶 video. 🎶🎶 🎶🎶 I 🎶🎶 love 🎶🎶 all 🎶🎶 the 🎶🎶 snow 🎶🎶 and 🎶🎶 the 🎶🎶 feeling 🎶🎶 I 🎶🎶 get 🎶🎶 from 🎶🎶 watching 🎶🎶 the 🎶🎶 video. 🎶🎶 🎶🎶 I 🎶🎶 love 🎶🎶 that 🎶🎶 other 🎶🎶 people 🎶🎶 other 🎶🎶 than 🎶🎶 myself 🎶🎶 love 🎶🎶 this. 🎶🎶 🎶🎶 I 🎶🎶 love 🎶🎶 to 🎶🎶 sit 🎶🎶 in 🎶🎶 my 🎶🎶 room 🎶🎶 and 🎶🎶 listen 🎶🎶 to 🎶🎶 it 🎶🎶 and 🎶🎶 just 🎶🎶 think 🎶🎶 about 🎶🎶 old 🎶🎶 classmates 🎶🎶 and 🎶🎶 family. 🎶🎶
this was always my favorite song growing up in a tough childhood life. From being homeless with my mom when i was 7years old til this day 25 yrs old with college degree and back in july my mom pass away because of covid. #ripmom 2020 is tough for everyone at any level. may yall be fortunate and be bless.
This song is spiritual. The group sold their soul. To the devil. But. With. A little lyrical misdirection... It throws you.... Pay attention y'all.... Listen to the first and last verse. Very closely 😨😨😨😨😨😨😔😔😔😔😔😔 Also the. Second verse... They basically. Gave their life back to God. And started experiencing... A, string of unfortunate events..... Listen carefully... When wish Bone, said; better watch what you sign to...
FaCts over here on my end regarding tough childhood growing up... Shit ain't the same bacC then as shit now... Especially when u tryna survive in the trenches💨💨💯💯💯💯
Started listening since 2008 till date. This jam is heart touching Akon is legend Bone thugs N Hamony. All good guys, non of this mumble guys this days can ever write such touching songs again.
Job 7:20 New International Version 20 If I have sinned, what have I done to you, you who see everything we do? Why have you made me your target? Have I become a burden to you?[a]
This is the song that got me into hip hop and rap. I was just some 10 year old white kid living 30 miles from Cleveland in some run down City named Painesville. I first heard it on the bus ride home after School, my bus driver played it on the radio lmaooo. Those were some pretty chill times man, Bone Thugs is forever immortalized, especially in NE Ohio.
Every time I hear this song I can't help but drop a couple tears, My Best Friend played this at her Brother's Funeral Hope he finally found peace rip Sean 😢
🎶🎶 I'm 🎶🎶 sure 🎶🎶 he 🎶🎶 found 🎶🎶 peace. 🎶🎶 🎶🎶 I 🎶🎶 lost 🎶🎶 my 🎶🎶 dad 🎶🎶 last 🎶🎶 November. 🎶🎶 🎶🎶 I 🎶🎶 didn't 🎶🎶 get 🎶🎶 him 🎶🎶 in 🎶🎶 the 🎶🎶 ground 🎶🎶 til 🎶🎶 December. 🎶🎶 🎶🎶 He 🎶🎶 was 🎶🎶 a 🎶🎶 good 🎶🎶 person. 🎶🎶 🎶🎶 He 🎶🎶 loved 🎶🎶 to 🎶🎶 smoke 🎶🎶 cigarettes 🎶🎶 and 🎶🎶 watch 🎶🎶 TV. 🎶🎶 🎶🎶 I 🎶🎶 miss 🎶🎶 him. 🎶🎶
This song makes me think about how far I have come in life. Lost literally 9 people that meant something to me due to shootings, and drug overdoses. I’m 27 years old got a good job and have moved out the south Chicago suburbs. Not everyone makes it out.
Época fantástica cara, chegava da escola e assistia TVZ, Disc MTV, ficava horas esperando passar um simples clipe, uma música. Deveria existir uma forma de voltarmos no tempo.
This is so true of our men trying to make it in life . Some loose their way but they try so hard . ......Respect to our men past, present and future.🙏🙏
I always listen to this when I am feeling defeated. these lyrics always make me feel like I cant get through it. I've been in some low places but I know that God has got me no matter what.
I want to give up I have no reason to keep going. No friends, family, will never have a kid, nobody will ever want me, and on top of that I'm black and have to deal with racism.
no cussing
no half naked women
no drugs
just talent
ur mom gay
That’s because the rappers today are mostly teenagers
Hahagagagahahaha ever seen a Akon video??
And Bone Thugs came up rapping about selling fake drugs
@@yfjl1 they sold drugs an guns bro they ain't fake

When I was 15 I saw this music video on BET and it made my heart ache and weep for our black men ❤
I was in high school when this came out. Now I’m an accountant today. Damn times flies
I was just starting elementary school
I was in elementary school, now i’m an IT guy
We getting old
smoked many spliffs to this one
BLESS TIME
Old school rap, hip-hop they use to talk about life struggles, plus they know how to tell a story.

@@jayant8349 #BTnH been around since the 90's, everything has a feel that is non existent in music now
31 years old been listen to Bone thugs for as long as I can remember, easily 18 years. Growing up with lyrical genius's, Man I miss those days.....
my uncles introduced me to bone...... i remember. weekends of xbox 360 halo 3 parties with them blasting the latest mix and what not of bone...
Same age here,
Growing up hearing this music, the early 2000’s hiphop still the best

Bone Thugs 4life baby!
I loved running streets and doing the deal! Getting clean & sober & trying to get away from that lifestyle and old acquaintances has been such a struggle for me. Props to those doing the deal clean. It's a daily fucking challenge!
Austin Griggs keep your head up, if u start feeling uncomfortable u can leave. Good luck 👍✌️️stay strong!

Austin Griggs I have been there keep your head up and keep God first and your going to make it
Hits hard when you’re grown. Working so hard just to keep failing. And sometimes people don't even know how hard you’re trying as a man…just to fail over and over again. But we still keep that faith alive, hoping to finally "make it" one day 🤧🙏🏾
😅
😅
😅
u r right is gone to be good one day just keep d hope alive
I'm there with you brother. Don't give up hope. Keep your faith. Persevere. You got this.
This song is very deep and touching for some of us struggling trying to make it in life.
Been bumping this track out a good few times a year... soon as erryone hears it we all get together and sing ❤
You can make money or make excuses, can't do both

@@y_rb4080 I remember days when I struggled. Things are better now. There's always room for improvement, though.❤️🔥
Respect 🙏
this was always my favorite song growing up in a tough childhood life. From being homeless with my mom when i was 7years old til this day 25 yrs old with college degree and back in july my mom pass away because of covid. #ripmom 2020 is tough for everyone at any level. may yall be fortunate and be bless.
damn I was already hurt now why u gotta write this I pray ure mama is in a better place stay out of trouble for her
So sorry lost my Dad to Covid19 May 2020.
This song is spiritual.
The group sold their soul. To the devil. But. With. A little lyrical misdirection... It throws you.... Pay attention y'all.... Listen to the first and last verse. Very closely 😨😨😨😨😨😨😔😔😔😔😔😔
Also the. Second verse... They basically. Gave their life back to God. And started experiencing... A, string of unfortunate events..... Listen carefully... When wish Bone, said; better watch what you sign to...
I am so sorry for your loss. I wish you a good and healthy life... god bless you
FaCts over here on my end regarding tough childhood growing up... Shit ain't the same bacC then as shit now... Especially when u tryna survive in the trenches💨💨💯💯💯💯

Job 7:20 New International Version 20 If I have sinned, what have I done to you, you who see everything we do? Why have you made me your target? Have I become a burden to you?[a]
This is the song that got me into hip hop and rap. I was just some 10 year old white kid living 30 miles from Cleveland in some run down City named Painesville. I first heard it on the bus ride home after School, my bus driver played it on the radio lmaooo. Those were some pretty chill times man, Bone Thugs is forever immortalized, especially in NE Ohio.
me too.......
I'm from Youngstown #330
OH...buckeyes
In Atlanta too, I was 9 when I heard this song on the radio. It's beautiful how music can make us reminisce.
Much love to you my brotha
and rappers of them days were something else🔥🔥🔥🙌
Every time I hear this song I can't help but drop a couple tears, My Best Friend played this at her Brother's Funeral Hope he finally found peace rip Sean 😢

This song is legendary,,, I feel sorry for kids of today,, they'll never know Bone Thugz and their good music
Not completely true, I’m 15. The difference between me and the other kids my age is my parents raised me on good music.
All about parents I'd say. My kids love wu-tang, bone thugs, biggie, 2pac and all the good music non of this crap that makes ya ears bleed now.
Petrus Shabalala dang ur right they will never understand these 90s hip hop

Saudade desse tipo de música 😔
Época fantástica cara, chegava da escola e assistia TVZ, Disc MTV, ficava horas esperando passar um simples clipe, uma música. Deveria existir uma forma de voltarmos no tempo.
Porra que saudades do começo da minha adolescência..
Voltaria tudo novamente.

This is so true of our men trying to make it in life . Some loose their way but they try so hard . ......Respect to our men past, present and future.🙏🙏
I always listen to this when I am feeling defeated. these lyrics always make me feel like I cant get through it. I've been in some low places but I know that God has got me no matter what.
Keep your head up girl 💪🏼
Zach Tanaleon thanks
it makes u think on how to make it n this cold world

Nah nah Vanessa ur a winner nd a very strong person, well I believe that!
Who else been trying so hard for so long but still feel like they going nowhere but still aint gone give up
Your comment really is true..
Even though I fail but still try so hard when another chance comes again
Me I'm strong so I get the most to deal with I'm healthy strong been a rough couple years I alive and trying to put god first for real this time
I want to give up I have no reason to keep going. No friends, family, will never have a kid, nobody will ever want me, and on top of that I'm black and have to deal with racism.
💯
I feel like that everyday
