This is the perfect anthem for anybody who wakes up in the morning with the unbridled determination to do whatever it takes to survive.
Feel you bro. For me, it's whatever it is to survive and live the dream. Stay strong
Facts we here
We have one life to live.... I'm gonna ride it out until the wheels fall off!!!!!!!!! Let's get it fam
listen to it everyday mane
I ain't tryna survive
I'm tryna live it to the limit and love it a lot
This' that NY-NJ-Philly Connection 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
New York - Jay-Z
New Jersey - Just Blaze
Philadelphia - Free & Beans
Tri state shit
Facts !!! That east Coast link up be crazy! Need more of that ! Like when Shaq big an T-Lee cooked a jawn
Too east coast my speakers froze
Earlu
69 king of ny
It's actually crazy knowing Jay-Z nor Beanie Sigel were on the song at first! Freeway said Jay was supposed to only say "Keep going" in the background, but the second he heard the track itself, he immediately freestyled his verse and Sigel followed after. Great music brings out such a great vibe in everyone.
Beanie Sigel outrapped Jay-Z and Freeway.
Jay-Z is a douche
@@MangoTroubles-007yeah....U sound like a clown.
U mad @@MangoTroubles-007
Hov different
@MangoTroubles-007 no he didn't either. Free had the best verse, then hov then beans
2024 Still Blasting This 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Me to
215 all day!
I'm here men....
That sixers clip brought here. Lady in the green hoodie somebody said. I seen them folk rapping them lyrics like their life depended on it
Can't go too long without bumping this.
New rappers couldn't survive in THIS era of hip hop. Lyrically OR on a street level.
NOT AT ALL....TOO MANY NICE MC'S💯💯💯
Facts
Sad But True
Best comment EVER
H Estrada real talk
That “keep going” from jay on Freeway’s verse impacts his verse even more
Gives me chills every time I hear it
Bruh just watch an interview on how this song was made and that’s how Jay got on the song because he wanted Hov to lay those adlibs then Hov jumped on the song.
Facts
With Jay telling keep goin it’s only right to follow up with them legendary bars “we gotta raise our kids while we’re living”
Freeway a beast 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Freeway...his verse is made of legends...this vibe is unmatchable!!!
Da philli flyer!!!!
Heat every time! 😤😤
Just heard this again after so many years. Forgot how well he rides the flow and his voice is unmistakable. Truly painting us a picture of his character and motivations through a hard ass verse.
"We grind from the bottom just to make it to the bottom" that shit hits homie
As a kid I used to say jay killed this...as an adult I realize jay just hit it with a dope flow and clever lines...freeway and beans talked from the heart and the perspective of being and showing just because they dealt drugs didn't make them bad guys...they just did WHATEVER it took to make sure there Family and friends eat...there verses were too real for my young mind to comprehend
Dio Mysterio facts you can tell jay just jumped on the song....still Fire I can’t complain
I feel the same way
My son has grown up. Proud of u. Philly standafuq up 💯💯💯
Dio Mysterio yes sir!!
Same here..and its so sad and depressing that music like this isnt being made anymore and if it were wouldn't be appreciated..this was during times where hip hop had substance and gave a chill down your spine and you could actually relate to the artist because the substance of their music was what most people dealt with and were going through st the present time..now its bentleys throwing racksnin the club and rockin gucci and living in mansions..smdh the majority of us will never experience those things..but what beans freeway nas tupac eminem and all the old school artists would rap about?? We were living it and experiencing it all on a daily basis..RIP HIP HOP/RAP you held me together in my younger years and brought emotjon and motivation out of me..youll always be missed but never forgotten..because your voice can still be heard by the greatists of all time
This generation don't have winter time hip-hop like this😭
Lol just alot of summer jams 😒
10,000$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Jake Steed that shit that made you stay outside and hustle
Tims
Winter 2002 in Philly was epic because of this
This song will never die
Soulfood sundays smelling like big mommas mayne
NEVER!!
Forreal everytime I hear it
The way Beanie ATE on this ish!
🎧🎤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
No bs , he hurt this verse
Miss the real beanz
This that struggle music, get the ski mask, last resort hit the gas station licc, music 😮😂😂
Fire 🔥
"But still I cry tears of a hustler, wipe tears from my mother, pour out beer for my brothers, that's above us make beds for the babies tuck kids under covers buy cribs for they mothers" (Beans)
vondrae hawkins HARD AF

One of the HARDEST hip hop joints EVER‼️
2023 and this song still hits your soul. Also a big shout out to a bunch of The Wire cast scattered around in the video. Rest in Power MKW.
Fr..💯‼️
Rs 💯💯💯 they used Bodie, Bubbles, Wee-bey and if you noticed they even used Omar 🔥🔥🔥
@@joshuarivera3788 yep of course those four I saw but I also saw the actor who played Sydnor. He was in a van.
Don't forget Syndor💯
@@georgebanks8600 I said him in the comment above
There was no reason for freeway to snap like that ! He had rent due in a hour lmao
Lmao facts
Dead ass
Man the early 2000s, big ass T shirts, throwback jerseys, Stud earrings, rocawear jeans with some forces. Aww man what a time to be alive lol
Yeah it was. Look at it like this. Clothes were looser rhymes were tighter. Today clothes are tighter rhymes are wacker 🤔
+Seattle Insider you right about that shit backwards now lol
Seattle Insider ha!! So true!
IKR and kids where head bands with fat jacket boy those was the days
Now flamboyantly gay is the new Gangsta.
Don't u just miss this early 2000 shit
for real tho
True shit.
Yeruchem Yohannes facts those were the days kid
Yeruchem Yohannes yes
I do.
Damn can't believe this song is 20 years old and it still goes hard. Philly Freeway needs to make a comeback.
I always feel like Freeway could've did this song by hisself. He was hungry asf on here and struck every bit of the soul 🔥🔥🔥
Back in '04, this is what we called morning music. We'd listen to this every morning walking to school
lol I’m a jr in Highschool still go to school listening to this… I put you onto this song
SAME!
Yep walking to the bus stop in the winter
I play this occasionally driving to work so I feel that 💯.
#Early
RIP Freeway's son
This beat and song still bangs in 2020

Freeway explained true street life the best!!
This song will eternally be 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
San Yates, 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥I Totally Agree With You Whole Heartedly!!!!!!! MY BROTHER👌🏾👍🏾👊🏾✊🏾☝️🏾💪🏾👏🏾✌️🏾💯📚
Fa show!!!
If this song doesn't make you violently nod your head, you haven't been through the struggle. Easily one of the most prolific Hip Hop songs ever. Beans, Freeway, and Hov all shined on this one.
FOR A FACT!!!!!!!!!!!!
For real! This was like a hip hop relay. Passing the mic like runners pass the baton. Flow tight AF from verse to verse. Sounds just as good now is it did the first time I heard it back in the day
😂😂😂😂😂💯💯💯💯facts!
on god this popped up on apple music i couldnt help myself lmao🤣
Bro I just whiplash from the way bean starts his verse
2023 This joint STILL gets me Hyped!
That Free verse..never gets old...
Just Blaze killed this beat.
Word up he have gave them a lot of heat back then
Then Jay murdered it again with his verse sheesh 🔥🔥🔥🔥
His hottest beat in my opinion
He really did. This song is perfectly put together. Even the head nods! Aha
Anybody know the sample?
Freeway murdered this joint Jay Z said Keep Going cause he feeling this real shit!!!!
that was Jay's best part. #KeepGoing
Right after that Free 🔥🔥🔥 this shit
Actually jay z wasn’t suppose to be in the song free just wanted jay to say that after every other line to hype him up
@@fresh2cool957 keeeeeeeep flowinnnnn Freeeeeee
That literally made the song that much better
This the real Philly anthem
Had to scroll too damn far for this comment!
I’m from Jersey and whenever I visit my daughter in college in PA go thru philly I play all philly and start with this anthem!!!!!
ON GOD WHOLE EAST COAST SLAP
lol with a Bmore Cameo 😂😂😂 how
don't let criminal activities become your identity, it's never good
Definitely a street banger. Hungry music for real
Still bumping in 2019!!
Like the way Jay pat's Freeway on the shoulder and mumbles "keep going"
Then leaned in and said "keep flowing" a little bit later.
One of the reasons I love this song. Jay basically saying let it all out bro
@@michellewebster140 deadass
“Still we grind from the bottom
just to make it to the bottom” deep

Just think about the rocafella lineup at this time. Jay, Kanye, Dipset, State prop....yeah i miss this era.
+Nope Nopington 🔥🔥🔥🔥
yeah .. back when kanye was just making beats anot poisoning us with his wack lyrics and bullshit shenanigans..
Can’t believe this song just went gold , it been platinum in the streets!!!!!
Roc-a-fella × The Wire collaboration 💥🔥
Back in the day when Roc-A-Fella literally had the best rappers in the game (Jay-Z, Beenie, Freeway, Bleek, Cam'ron & Dipset, Kanye West). A huge loss to rap when it fell apart. Props for them having The Wire cast in this video. Still the best TV show ever to air til this day.

Masterclass in lyricism. Freeway, Jay, and Beans all murdered it.
Jay could have easily not been on this. His verse was GARBAGE

Beans ate this shit up💯💯💯💯
Certified gold single Jun 1 2024. Congrats
"before they blow them horns like coltrain..."; day of judgement reference, crazy line, beans is a beast
That line also got me to listen to John Coltrane.
Is that a movie?
@@tsmit44 no thats a famous jazz musician yw
Alll muslims know when that horn os blown by yje angel time is up
Best verse on this track💪🏾
The lyrics an the beat was banging,damn if only that era had continued.look at the hip hop music now...damn.
Agree
you dont understand this era was soooo dope man I remember loving it
true fuckin story
thank dame for the break up
Completely true bruh
I listen to this song AT LEAST once a week. I solidified PERSONAL class. Production, bars, and message. These guys were on top of the world for a minute!
This Was The Roc At It’s Finest🏆
“Dont you know cops sole purpose is to lock us down and throw away the key” over a decade and a half later these lyrics STILL relevant.
If you knew anything about the justice system you'd know cops don't have the power to throw away the key. That's higher up in the justice system. Cops sole purpose is to gather evidence in your case against you to initiate getting you locked up. If you are committing crimes I see nothing wrong with them doing their jobs. Y'all have these one sided conversations about police locking you up but you forget about the part where you commit the crime.
@@bosshogg9083 cool story
@@bosshogg9083 stfu
He's not talking about black people he's talking about Corner boys
It will always be relevant
Freeway had one of the best, ORIGINAL flows ever.💯
💯💯..Typeshit
GEAH 🔥 he was nice with the flow
Has. I'm pretty sure he's still rapping.
Check the joints Free did after this with Jake One. More soulful and laid back.
“GOT THE HOOD ON BLAAAAAAST!”*yeaaaa*
He and Beanie are gonna always be one of my favorite and most conflicted rappers
One of the best rap joints ever made, Happy 50th anniversary to Hip Hop 👊🏾🎉🎉🎉
This is the East Coast Anthem.

Everybody verse was on point all 3 murdered this track in my opinion
One of the best Hiphop melodies of all time. Period.
When I heard this track the start of the show Bel-air. I knew the show would be bangin'.
Freeway went crazy on this😮
Who still listening in 2023?. This song is a straight classic.
Imagine if Rocafella stayed together. Talking Jay, Kanye, Freeway, Beans, Dipset. Putting out 6-9 albums a year. Damn.... be like the Boston Celtics winning 10 plus titles in a row.
You must be from the bean!
Hell yeah
I say this everyday
Then Kanye bringing good music, the. J. cole
Never looked it at that way but if that were to happen , Ye wouldn't find Cudi , Travis Scott ,( Pusha T . Even though Push put in the WORKS back in the day ) .
RIP Michael K Williams. As well as The Wire and Boardwalk Empire, this video also came to mind, when I heard about his passing.
His role in wire and bf 4 was my childhood hope he rip
We grind from the bottom just to make it to the bottom.
Freeway
