I don't care who you are. If you read this, I love you.
We must LOVE one another to become a better human race. give Jesus a chance you got nothing to lose because the devil been running the show since you haven't accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, then you gotta build the relationship and keep both feet in so God can control your destiny.
love bro ✊🏻
I love you man 🎉
Much love, hope you're doing well
"Nothing that I own owns me so I'm so free". Damn, that line hits so deep when you think about how we're caught up in materialism.
Save for addicts. That bottle won't let go. However you're are right. Deep af statement. Brother Ali finds some weird way to hit me and dig in deep.
Word ..real spit from Brother Ali
That’s the best line in a song full of great lines. That one stuck in my head.
My 6 year old autistic son just requested this song while we were driving in the car and "never learn" ended. An upbeat pop type song came on and he said "what hearts are for!" I couldn't understand him at first over the music and a/c in the car but he was determined to get me to turn it on lol
I've had a few of your songs on my driving Playlist for a couple months now and I always see him in the back very focused and intently listening to the lyrics, sometimes mouthing the words. 🥰
One time "Us" was playing and I switched it because I had just listened to it just before picking him up and he insisted that I put it back on. 😊
You and Jason Mraz he loves and always talks about the messages in the songs afterwards. He can feel the heart! 🥰
I love bumping good lord and fresh air while cruising too, they always put me in a good mood 😊
Thank you for your music. I love being able to share meaningful music with my little ones and help instill positive messages through song. 💖
✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻
Where all human! 🤲🏽❤️

Absolutely ♥️♥️ love this
“You’re not using your heart for what’s hearts are for” that’s deep y’all
I heard this song in the very beginning of my recovery and 4 years later I share it with my patients as a message of hope and recovery for them! It always hits exactly as I believe it was meant to. Thank you Brother for sharing your soul and light with the world. WE DO RECOVER! ❤
I found you when I was attempting to express to juveniles how rapp can be positive and touch hearts. I truly thank God for artist like yourself. P.S. JUST DISCOVERED.
Visionaries 'If you can't say Love' Atmosphere 'God loves ugly.' Just Few of my faves
Welcome! I used to go to his shows back in 2005..I actually hugged him and have the pic and I treasure this because he is SO so reall!!
Praise Yahweh and allah 💚
Amazing ain't he? Lol
@zetaspace good for you! Keep on fighting for sobriety..you deserve it
This should be a message for all races, religions, and creeds.
Literally crying listening to this and no idea why, one of my favorite rappers. Brother Ali, welcome back man
same.
Me too. There is so much truth in this song. The truth of love that much of the world is detached/hiding from, as I have been in my past, and I'm still struggling. That's why it makes me cry, and it feels so good.
Mr.Wobbles same brother, one love💯
I almost never sign in to comment, but I cried too, and I know why. Two people shot this morning, one dead. I don't know them, but it happened a couple blocks from my home, now my wife wants us to take our 10 year old daughter and move out of Madison. I'm crying for the love we are having so much trouble finding in the city where I was born. I'm crying for the mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, brothers and sisters who have lost so much, who can't feel safe, who are forced to fear and shut out the love. For our own sakes we've got to drop the gun and reach out to each other. This world is big enough and beautiful enough for all of us to be ourselves and love others for doing the same. Thank you Brother Ali, for showing it to us."Peace it together" is not a typo.
Likewise
I love this song, and I love Brother Ali. THIS is what it's all about. To everyone listening and looking: I love you all. We can make a difference, but only together as one.
Peace valhalla
Thank you. I support this.✌
I love all my brothers and sisters, from all walks of life. Thank you for your comment :D
Blessed be my friend
Love you ❤️😘. Brother Ali is amazing
While the radio plays garbage.... great music that truly speaks. Greatness. Long live conscious music. Thanks for this Brother
Love this
Yea
In a world of nonsense it’s refreshing to know there are emcees like Brother Ali out there kicking the truth.
"Know that I'm a soldier/Hearts are my battleground"
Mashallah. Beautifully said Brother Ali.
I'm christian and all I gotta say is Brother Ali one of the realest out there... Mad respect!
"...if it were opened up, it would blind the world..." True, beautiful, and moving words to live by.
There's nothing I respect more then someone dedicating there life to serving. I haven't heard all your work, but I know we worship to same God, and we play on the same team. I hope album sales are good today buddy, you deserve it!!!!
Based. I think we're on the same page, and if he wasnt speaking truth we wouldnt feel God when we hear it. Art vs artist? Idk. Its still inspiring regardless.
@@xxArsen1xx-OnPsn nice rhyme
How can anyone dislike this video? This is the most beautiful thing I've seen in a long time
quietstorm1212 Looks like a Watchtower leaflet.
my thoughts exactly! got me hella emotional too :'D
Bleach Kings Isn't your comment the exact opposite of what Brother is saying? Look to yourself first.
Maybe they are atheist🤔🤔🤔
Because it's not mumble rap people are stupid and dont realize that true poetic rappers are still around
As the rapper and christian that I am, I love and respect to Brother Ali a lot. Ever since I discovered his message and thematic I support it. This is what hip-hop should be. RESPECT and LOVE.
I know it! I'm talking about me, me as a christian, I respect and love Brother Ali. ;)
it's okay for a christian to love a muslim, and vise versa... it's happened lots of times.
Dale Hawkins There is no such thing as Christianity, Islam, Hindu.... NOT A SINGLE PROPHET LABELED THEIR RELIGION WITH A NAME! The ONLY religion on Earth is LOVE. Corrupt men used the words of God to control and manipulate with FEAR, which is the absence of love. Who are you? Abraham/Brama knew. Moses Knew. Noah knew. Krishna/Christ/Jesus/Isa knew. Muhammad knew. Once you know, you have done your part here ;)
DGRIFF! My point, in a way.
DGRIFF! That's a universal perspective. i agree all "Religions" have SOME truth in it. If some1 says "Hey I'm a Christian" then you know that he's a follower of Christ.
See there is a difference, we shouldn't ignore the fact there's fundamental differences.
it doesn't stop us from love i agree. But to put that all these different ppl had this same notion is completely false.
This truly is a masterpiece of poetry, and a thesis for living life.

"You can listen solo because you're the whole world to me" way to make me cry bro
Open your eyes, and you will see beauty. Open your mind, you will find freedom. Open your heart, you will find love. Open your soul, you will find peace.
Nice, Very nice said...
i opened my eyes and all i saw was hate and despair , i opened my mind it got closed by others i opened my heart and found slavery
I can do the first two.
@@ljupcetrninkov4602 I feel your pain. But know that there is freedom to be found, it's usually on the other side of that pain. Forgive but not forget bro, tis the only way. Give is the most important part of fore-give.
What a beautiful song. God bless Hip Hop

According to Howard Rice who filmed me making some of the boat said he talked to producer's and the back story of me and life they wanted to use and then as soon as I mentioned his name to Charlie Rebtstabt I could no longer be involved with project at film fest making boat or the plans for non profit works he promised her help set up!
K lol p P o
I'm 4 years late it's been on my playlist stuck on Repeat. It almost make me want to cry how much the world is going thru the last 2 yrs I just attend 2 funerals back 2 back. At the same time it seems like the Tradewar is targeting us. Can't turn on the news or step outside the way we used to. Can't tell who is who behind the Facemask
Brother Ali used one of the most powerful voices hip hop could have asked for. He used it for pure positivity. Thank you. You continue to change my life after all this time.
Thank God for Brother Ali
Powerful stuff, Ali. This is what hip-hop should be. I'm spending so much time working and stressing over trivial things. It's easy to blank out the beauty that's around us every day. One love!
Absolutely!
Anthony B wut?.... haha this guy.. this song is not promoting religious beliefs man... listen again.
Anthony B the video has his religion yes.. but the song it self is about love ... and every one with a heart should be able to relate
Anthony B Music is a means of self expression. Anyone is free to express themselves as they please. With that said, he isn't pushing any religious beliefs. The only thing he is pushing is being a cognizant human being. You don't have to subscribe to religion at all to be aware of your internal and external realities. Peace and Love.
thats all we need to know u can leave now!
I love Brother Ali's voice. What a wonderful soul. I really need his music in my life right now. His positivity is unique and rare.
Brother Ali, and all of you at Rhymesayers, Thank you.
2020 and this song is more relevant than ever before.
The world needs more Brother Ali
Preach, brother
"Black Lives Matter" Tagged @1:27 - Brother Ali has been preaching love since before it was cool.
No doubt! There's finally a collective awaking going on..! It's about freaking time ✌️🤗💫✊
@@jessecato8681 💙💙💙
My mom died recently unexpectedly and Ali has saved me through so many things. Well mom played my daddy as well so I never thought I’d make it through this and the other day he popped up randomly.. He literally is a lifesaver.. ❤️
Remain strong, remain you. A reminder that you're truly blessed ❤.
ali holdin it down
I will indeed cry when brother ali passes . He speaks the gospel that we all need in our souls in today's generation
"Speaking to the whole globe numbers don't occur to me. You can listen solo cause you're the whole world to me."
Yeah I felt that :) and it made me feel like everything would be okay. Love is amazing.
Born and raised Christian. Fell away into addiction. Got my shit together and this resonates with every fiber of my being. In love we all serve the same God. I’m not worried about doctrine or beliefs any longer I just do what love tells me to do.
Stay blessed y’all. Follow your paths back home.
💜 Just a reminder of how strong you truly are.
Bless up! 🙏🙏
This is one of the most AUTHENTIC, DOPEST and UPLIFTING Hip Hop songs EVER!! Nuff Respect to Brother Ali, we APPRECIATE you and your WORKS, stay focused on your GOOD and keep SHININ', Word!!!! 💫🙏🏾👊🏾✌🏾🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is wonderful. Just wonderful. I'd been troubled and confused since completing a big life Quest, and suddenly I hear Brother Ali spit and my head is on straight and my heart is full.
I am not a word nobody is a word and nothing is a word and therefore not subject to the throne of England, nobody looks like a word to me.
@@christaylor1814 Sorry mate, if someone remarks on something I say I always diligently do my best to respond. Because words matter. I don't really understand your comment or it's context though, so forgive me if I get it wrong. Yep, words matter. You're not a word ? Yes you are. We all are. Human. Alive. Words are how we relate to our world, and each other, and it's why Brother Ali's verse is so powerful. Words. Faithful. Honest. Accepting. Friend.
I'm a word. I'm plenty of words. I don't understand a lot of what's happening in the world today, but I identify by the following terms: father, friend, husband, dipshit, boofhead, guy, dude, fella, mate.
I think something we don't do well in the modern world is understand each other. Build consensus.
That's why words are so important.
Im not religious. But its such a poignant message that i cant help but set semantics aside. 💘
neither am I but this melody and usage of no cursing helps me because even Brother Ali can make songs without swearing
Yep. The only man that could get me to go to church, the goosebump giving MC Brother Ali.
It's not really about the biblical God. More about the ideas of God and goodness of humanity. Or at least what we could be.
God doesn't reference Christ or Christianity, rather the power behind everyone's spirit
You don’t need to be religious to know that love is better than hate my guy, love is the natural state, you gotta learn hate from life experiences
I remember being 12 years old and being embarrassed when friends come over cause there was literally only a can or two of food in the cabinets, and empty refrigerator. No electricity in the house. I'm not mad. I need to be a good person and give all I can. There are too many 12 y/o versions of me that need a hand.
Been there bud but when I had it I always shared.
🙏🙏
Grab mine. I got you.
Blessings 🙏
Life is nothing but ups and downs
This song is universal. Everyone can relate to it. Much love from Russia :)
Love ya

"You ain't gotta get lit, I got my own light" shine on my brother, shine on. We will pass the flame
Brotha Ali...real HipHop...
This song is strrrrooooongggggggg, one love fam. We are all here together now, be kind to all that you see, in the end we will fly free.
songs like this make me realize how precious life really is
Yeah I just got here from murder murder kill kill kill..good day.
I wish this was a movie that never ended. This is still the most beautiful and touching video I have ever watched in my 40 years of life!
Children have no natural bias, they are just curious and loving. We should all remember to look at the world through a child's eyes once in a while.
Brother Ali taught me what good, noble Islam looks like.
the king is back
ロリコン never left
This is some needed energy. Welcome back Brother.
Brother Ali has saved soo many lives and I can honestly say that without even knowing for sure that he did or not but knowing in my heart that his words did. I reminiss and reflect a lot on my own life everytime one of his songs comes on or comes back into my life. Because throughout my whole life God has been using his songs and lyrics to guide me up out of many dark situations. Brother Ali is soo pure and genuine and such a lyrical genius that I feel obligated to share his songs with as many people as I possibly can. and every person that I shine the light on with his music that doesnt already onow his influence and impact on the world become enlightened before my very eyes and it is soo beautiful. So I just want to sy thank you Brother Ali and please continue to saves lives by shining your light on peoples hearts. And I love you man God Bless
Plant trees which you will never see the shade of... the strongest lesson I ever TRIED to learn
One of the most beautiful songs ever.
"You ain't got to keep me lit I got my own light" 💯 ...... It was good meeting you Brother Ali saw you at Masjid Al-Rahman for tahajud last night..
"The light of the human heart, when it's given faith, if it were opened up, it would blind the world."
This is the pinnacle of hip hop. Thank you brother Ali!
I aint buying fear because thats all you got left.
This song is hands down one of the best feel good songs out!!!
Christ's love is real, everything else is hollow,please understand the way,truth,and the Life.
6 years later and this song is needed more than ever!
God comes in many different forms... Love this Brother Ali...
Don't judge a book by its cover.
Judge it by it's story
eugene collins Also, you need to read that book yourself. Don’t let anyone else try to summarize it for you.
The human mind, when it's given faith, actually does blind the world.
An hr of observing nature is equivalent to a full day of prayer.
Omg. Your music gets me through SO much mental health illness bullshit. I'm grateful you're here. Thank you for overcoming your obstacles.
Jessi, can you contact with me please?
@@yyyteam99 that's gonna be a hard no, bruh.
Real hip hop right here
Sometimes you find a song, sometimes a song finds you.
Thank you, brother.
His voice, his lyrics and his message to the world is just absolutely beautiful!
So good, man.
Myke C-Town Thanks for putting me on to him, Myke.
Myke C-Town ayyy that's crazy
I Play This Song Most Days ...
If it wasn't for you Myke and DEHH, I wouldn't know this song. Thanks man
SUB ESPAÑOL:czcams.com/video/tvaKvThUgIM/video.html
Music like this could heal the World
You ain't gotta get me lit. I got my own Light!
From a person with little faith is religious systems at all. I can honestly still stay this song embodies this mans light. Brother ali , big homie you have the world right the way you view it. I feel like sometimes I see it the same but get stuck somewhere along the way trying to make it to my light... At least to feel it and bask in bask in it. Idk if you'll ever see this but big homie hopefully in life ill be blessed to gain knowledge from a real one like you. Regardless if you ever do see this tho i just had to let those thoughts out man. Your one of the best of all time to me and more people should listen to you for so many reasons. Never stop ... Unless your light leads you else where. Much love man
Ali and I believe in two different Gods, yet I still bump this shit
Same God, different prophets. The Abarahamic religions all refer to the same God whether they call it Yahweh, God, or Allah.
Itr011p3opl 3 I’m a Catholic lol
@@maximillianwolfe5837 Yeah, and therefore a Christian, which is an Abrahamic religion. Did you not know you, the Muslims, and the Jews all refer to the same god?
The only large dialogue difference between the religions is that The Christians believe Jesus was God's prophet, the Muslims believe Muhammad was God's prophet, and the Jews believe God's prophet has yet to grace the Earth.
If you are Christian, same God man. More people NEED to know that
Any of y'all ever heard of Zoroastrianism?? Predated all by thousands of years and no I'm not some egghead...just a psyco-naut that explored psychedelics......
Allah-u ekber Allah-u ekber La ilahe illallah.
Some shots in here really speak volumes. The little girl smiling at the woman in the headdress. Symbolic of hate being instilled in us through our growth. At one point in all of our lives. Differences to what a child is used to was just innocent curiosity .
First time I've heard music from this brother, so glad I came across his music, absolutely diggin it!!!
He is so awesome I don’t see how others haven’t been able to do what he is doing he’s special and so right about what he says
"Beauty is the splendor of truth"
It's crazy how prophetic brother Ali is, you create the disease, and then you sell the remedy. After these events of the last two years , how does the words of that lyric make you feel?
This album is a masterpiece and is food for my soul. I can't count the ppl that I've introduced Ali to from this beautiful work of art. From kids, mothers, fathers to grandparents. The world needs more like this. Thank you Ali, thank you Rhymesayers. One love.
Can't stop listening this month. So beautiful.
Among the most impactful things I've ever heard.
This guy is such a low key musical genius. Somehow was brought back to his music so many years later and can believe how slept on this man is.
This song came to me while I was at the crossroads between light and darkness. Today I walk with the light and thank you brother Ali for playing your part in my spiritual walk. 💗🙌
6 days straight of bumping this
Watching with a smile. This is what the world needs.
God's love shines through him, I'm personally not religious because religions tend to judge. But they're not using their heart for what hearts are for...
This song hits so hard on so many levels, I've shared to a lot of people who I feel would like it, and they all said it helped them...most amazing lyrics!
I cry hard
It does. I sent to all my kids man
Very wholesome
Ohhhhh yes brother coming with some words in my dark world thank you
maksmilli0n Shed some light in that darkness. That's why I listen to a lot of brother Ali his music always seems to hit me in a positive way.
Brother Ali is a beautiful person!
For our lives to all matter, we all must remember that black lives matter too.
people argue about what rappers say on a higher scale than embracing the positivity of which rappers say.
If this had more negativity in it and only a sprinkle of positivity everyone would be talking about it.
I hope it hits home and is passed along to a friend and a friend's friend...
People love all the drama around them so much they forget to see the beauty all around us.
It's spring in the northern hemisphere and just nature alone looks beautiful right now.
Okeanos86 maintain that well balanced vibe my friend.
The moment u scroll through the comments realizing ure in the right part of this Website again :)
I couldnt agree more with u guys!
Peace and love from germany to u guys and have a nice day.
TheHundz peace Germany friend
If the "positivity" wasn't wrapped in all the metaphysical superstition it would be a lot easier to see it as positive. At this point in human history there are no positive aspects to clinging to yesterday's bad ideas. Even if it somehow manages to put you on the right path it's still not the right path.
This is easily one of the greatest examples of the power that words have. And how beautifully those words can be expressed. If this song doesn't move something inside of you, you're listening wrong.
I Love You Brother Ali.
Thanks Brother Ali, I appreciate this so much.
forever grateful for being introduced to Brother Ali and his uplifting messages
Thank you for using your heart for what hearts are for, Brother Ali!
Mad respect for brother Ali. My older brother(9 months older than me) tried to show me this song about 6 months before he passed away. Now I get it I understand what he was trying to show me. We are all points of light and the ONLY way we are going to transcend to the state we are supposed to be is through love
God the very essence of what God is, is love. Real true love that one gives without exceptions behind it. I have been very hard pressed to find that here now on this planet in the society that we find ourselves in today. I love unconditional and unbiased although I find myself at times on the path to darkness and there in lies the problem it is systematic programming and I am working on getting away from that
Brother Ali is your favorite rappers favorite rapper.
You're not using your heart for, what hearts are for
They've been trying to shut us down our whole life
I thank God for healing
You ain't got to get me lit, I got my own light
Thank God for listening
Listen, you've been trying to build me up my whole life
I thank God for building
You ain't got to get me lit, I got my own light
I thank God I'm living
Sometime I feel like a stranger
Maybe I ain't from here
World going crazy, how could that be unclear?
Know that I'm a soldier, heart's on my battleground
Sword in the holster, had to come back around
I ain't trying to hide away, I just had to meditate
I ain't got a lot to say, but the ancestors may
Speaking to the whole globe, numbers don't occur to me
You can listen solo 'cause you're the whole world to me
I jump in with both feet, nothing low key
You can find me where I'm s'posed be, where my folks be
If you listen very closely, you know who chose me
Nothing that I own owns me, and so I'm so free
I remember being hungry, needing groceries
Nighttime getting no sleep 'til my nose bleed
Got a message to the police:
You're not using your heart for, what hearts are for
They've been trying to shut us down our whole life
I thank God for healing
You ain't got to get me lit, I got my own light
Thank God for listening
Listen, you've been trying to build me up my whole life
I thank God for building
You ain't got to get me lit, I got my own light
I thank God I'm living
Not for one second, I believe what you're telling me
I know you invent the disease and sell the remedy
Universe is sending me centuries of memories
So the very breath that I breathe is all I ever need
I got that Muhammad Ali up in my pedigree
Yes I be speaking my peace up in my seventies
Ain't worried 'bout ya threatening me, I'm just being honest
I ain't buying fear just because it's all you got left
We just want to make love 'til we wake up
I believe whoever made us envisioned greatness
And you know they want to paint us with the same brush
Wanna inter-chain us 'til we fill our grave up
Alright, okay, but when it's all said and it's all done
And I look back at the trophies I've won, I will only count one
I'm using my heart for, what hearts are for
They've been trying to shut us down our whole life
I thank God for healing
You ain't got to get me lit, I got my own light
Thank God for listening
Listen, you've been trying to build me up my whole life
I thank God for building
You ain't got to get me lit, I got my own light
I thank God I'm living, and I know who I am
I know whose I am
On your wings I fly
And your shoes I stand
I'm animated by love, I don't move by chance
Any stage I touch and any place I stand
There y'all land, living in the world as it is
Cracked vessel, I am
No more and no less than a man
Any possessions that I have are just in my hand
I'm balancing the best that I can
I'm not making no claims but
I'm using my heart for, what hearts are for
All the beauty in this whole life, uh
I thank God for healing
And You ain't got to get me lit, I got my own light, light
I thank God for listening
Listen, you've been trying to build me up my whole life
I thank God for building
You ain't got to get me lit, I got my own light, light
I thank God I'm living
Just reflecting all the beauty in this whole life, whole life...
This is my new favorite song. Whenever I'm down all I've gotta do is play this and everything is put into perspective. From the top and bottom of my heart I'd just like to say "Thank You," to Brother Ali for making such a spiritually aware song.
Lol, I literally have to listen to this alone because it makes me cry uncontrollably and I hate explaining myself...
love and light brother praise God!!
