Lyrics:
Nah it ain’t the same
Being a man today
Nah it ain’t the same
Nah it ain’t the same
Being a man today
Nah it ain't the same
Waking up to this disarray
This uncertainness only seems to serve the misery
Maya place on me
Mother take from me
All of this false shit I do not need it
I believe in magic
Because I’ve seen it
Nothing you the ego
You know already, how it goes
I got a strong mind a strong girl
From my head to my toe
Back to my ego
These Earthly habits have got to get going
I’ve let go of desires but have I truly
Let go of the fires that burn them and fuel them
It's so hard to be human
With a battling mind
I have lost all devotion over time
I'm on the path of remembrance
And I'm remembering fine
Having nothing that's mine only borrowing time. My kind
Chatting to GOD unworthy of his time
With all these doubts in my mind im trying to cast aside, left to struggle in my rhymes
Nah it ain’t the same
Being a man today
Nah it ain’t the same
Nah it ain’t the same
Being a man today
Nah it ain't the same
Inner battles dwell like city kids beneath the poverty line,
I'm feeding my senses
Food for thought is money well spented
Cause most of our so called knowledge is rented,
invented, depended on flippant friends, social scenarios, hollow like cheerios you hear me
though
Never thought I’d be coming out your stereo
But there we go, maktub ya’ll
It’s written you know
Nah it ain’t the same
Being a man today
Nah it ain’t the same
Nah it ain’t the same
Being a man today
Nah it ain't the same
Nah it ain’t the same
Being a man today
Nah it ain’t the same
Nah it ain’t the same
Being a man today
Nah it ain't the same - Hudba
This song watered my plants, rolled me a joint and cleansed my room with incense
It did all that! And then it ran me a bath, put on fresh bed sheets and opened all the windows
this comment makes me feel all of that lol
And I feel like I had a nice vegan meal afterwards.
me daily
In that order
I aim for these levels of zen. Joint, pomegranate seeds and a jungle in my house
she’s amazing
Couldn’t have said it better
It's all outward pretend peace. People I know like this are in utter chaos, internally. Great musician though 🔥
@@ancientfuture9690 Peace and chaos can co exist. My home is a peaceful weed jungle and my mind is also chaotic as I'm neurodivergent. What looks like a mess to you may be your misunderstanding of other people and one shouldn't generalise "people like this" More of note is your confidence to psychoanalyse and judge a complete stranger's state of being.
@@brightonbotanicals5503 I do not mind judging a character's state of being...we do it all the time because to make value judgements about life/others, helps us navigate the world more effectively. I'm sure you do it too when looking at a stranger in the street?
And you're correct that peace and chaos (comically speaking) are inseparable opposites (as the Chinese Yin Yang symbolises) but I wasn't describing that. I was describing a kind of individual that acquires all the outward symbols and affectations of "culturally exotic/spiritual things" but still remains terribly anxious and neurotic. I've nothing against weed or other mind altering substances and actually I've had my fair share of psychedelic experiences. However, I've met MANY a psychonaut/burner that has the dreads, the meaningful tats, the unconventional piercings, the metaphysical and esoteric book collection, the yoga mat, a longing of a return to the 60's counter-culture etc, etc BUT inwardly they are developmentally stunted. They cannot hold meaningful relationships, they're passive aggressive, they're angry and resentful towards the world and even misanthropic. You of course might be different.
I was simply pointing out that what might 'look like Zen' isn't always Zen. That was my personal experience when I was desperately seeking peace via those routes. I found eventually that peace can actually be found in being a regular, societal contributing citizen and not a statement wearing activist.
NO ONE DOES IT LIKE GREENTEA PENG ‼️
Truth
Omg I love you
I swear I keep seeing your comments on every video I watch. Are we the same person Damon? lol
Her lyrics are novel at best, I loathe this inked pig, actually so speak for yourself
@@TeeRossDee pointed red ruoei
I want to keep her my secret,but i want her to receive more recognition at the same time 😭
Ikrr samee
Naw I'm good, I said the same for sza, summer, ari, doja, etc. Now I'm pissed the world knows them because now they've changed... for the worst.
@@tahileebrown5161 Ari Lennox changed?
@@artisticagi thankfully no had she received that Grammy that she was whining about not getting she would definitely have had to change.
Same here
she literally doesn't have a single bad song
facts
Facts
Absolute WORD.
FACTSSSSS
TRUTH
If erykah badu and amy winehouse persona had fusion damn I'm fuckin late
With a dash of Macy Gray sprinkled on top
Amen🙏💚💫
What counts is we made it
And " Lauryn Hill legacy"!🎶🤟😍
@@SrananKing yesss.. That's who I hear too 😍 such great vibes.. Just puts you wher you should be xx
I never saw her before, but it was so satisfying hearing how her voice and vibe are so perfectly described by her look and fashion.
Aber eeAber g 😅😮😮😮😮😮wrwewe😮twwwtrrteyz 😅 hatte 😅😅
This women deserves everything she wants and more. Stop paying attention to these “artists” who aren’t working or saying anything that matters. Mental health matters and this is an artists who really understands that. A true goddess.
The lyrics, the visuals, the colors!!!! simply beautiful!!!!!!
Heeeyyy my prettyyyyy
FACTS
agreed
Literally the 3 points i care the least about but doesn't matter the rest is just as good, the beat, the flow, the ambiance beautiful !
Lol its ridiculous 😂
greentea peng deserves as much recognition as the world has to offer. so talented
agree
agreed
Nah she's our beautiful secret
that could be everything or nothing... lol
@@david.ebonoo🎉❤😊
THE music, THE video, THE symbolism , THE message, THE talent. 🙏🏽🙌. Im at a loss for words, don't know how it took me til feb 2022 to find this but I'm so glad it came my way
Right there with u
this is my first time hearing this as well and WOW..
I feel the same way
Hu Man, spells, Mind, Loving Kind Mr SUN all time fav !!!
@Mama Laryn I personally loved the use of the pomegranate❤ It typically symbolizes fertility, death/rebirth, beauty, eternal life. it also is a symbol that represents the planet pluto, which is the planet that represents rebirth, renewal, change, and transformation and is also associated with greek mythology (Hades & Persephone to be specific). You can look into the story of Hades and Persephone to get further details if you are interested in the story, but in short represents life, regeneration, and even marriage. In greek mythology, it is also believed that the pomegrante was brought by aphrodite (godess of love).
Im sure there is so much more but this is what i took from it :) hope this helped and borough some insight to what i meant
I was born in 88, we had some great trip hop growing up in the 90s & early 2000s...this defiitely has trip hop vibes. Massive Attack even. Women Trip hop artists are 🤌🖤🔥
Year of the Dragon bb represent!! ❤️💛💚💙💜
I was thinking the same thing, and also wondering wth happened to trip hop since Massive Attack?! Lol! I’ve been sleeping on it, apparently!
Preach sista 💪🔥🔥🔥
Have you heard Polica, out of Minneapolis, yet? They've got some great trip hop vibes going too.
Shulamith is the Polica album I know best.
Holy fucking fucks. This is soooo authentic. She knows she’s a baddy yet she’s so humble! That jazzy transition near the end made me melt like butter.
“She’s humble”
ya that’s why she’s on CZcams she definitely doesn’t like attention
@@TargetsandTisms oh calm your bitterass down lol
@@TargetsandTisms lol true, like what is the motive with the movement here
@@Nobuddieshome y’all are slow
I have never identified with a aesthetic as much as I do while I watch this
DROOLING
Looks soo cool! Fist time seeing her 😎😍😁👌
She makes face tats look so good
It’s like uptempo lounge jazz with a splash of reggae/surf rock…
I’M IN AUDIBLE HEAVEN😇
There is so much visual symbolism! This is what more music videos need to strive for. It not only accompanies the song perfectly but also transforms it in a sense as well.
Moon babies where you at? 🌔

".... I believe in magic
.... because I've seen it." -
🕯️✨💜✨🕯️
And this is that
@@angelinebena9675 very much agreed Angeline.
This is one of her best songs lyrically, I love how double bass heavy it is. The cinematography and back story of her travels is incredible. I really like the shot at the bus stop, the marigolds referencing Mexico and day of the dead? What a tune, two years later and I’m still obsessing over this video.
The smoothing out of the Jazz near the end is angelic 😭😭😭😭
so so so sick. also i shot my first cookbook front cover in that studio
💚
Wow didn’t expect to see you here
Wow! When I saw the thumbnail my first thought was that it reminds me of your aesthetic. So cool
What's its name where is it located please?
you have a great taste in food annnd in music??? Love
“It’s So Hard To Be Human” ❤️🌿
"Are We There Yet?"
I swear
but we can do hard things
She needs her own movie about her lyrics and her mind/world
If i was a director ill take on that
I love your mind girl
This almost sounds nostalgic yet it’s so refreshing. Such a vibe, 10/10!✨💕
“Most of our so-called knowledge is rented” ♥️✨ these are vibes of the future
🎯👌🏼
invented
lmao the only line i didn't like / understand.
why is food for thought money well spent if you can only rent knowledge ?
@@lilyoge7732invented, depends on flippant friends
That aura is here
Totally
The hat game is next level
This is just what I needed after taking care of two ill parents being chronically ill myself on and off since since 230 A.M. Ahhh what a treat to sit back relax with this beautifully shot video and chilled out vibes....
Damn that's strong. You got it. 💪🏼
I LOVE HER !!!! I don’t think the industry ready for the message and vibes she bring & that’s fine.
Good the industry doesn't deserve ones like her
They sleep on so many artist , music as a whole could be better if the real got more play
honestly she's the best new artist for me. i can see myself loving her for years. ❤️
same!
Same here
Came here because her name is cool. Stayed because this video is epic. Song and visuals are a huge vibe
This reminds me of the 90s hip hop scene, in the same vein as Mos Def or Tribe Called Quest
Man, that's how I need my house to look...
The vibes are immaculate. Feels like my soul is being watered🌱✨
Wow
Bra, I was too sad the last few hours. Like sad sad. Your song was the needle that I found in the haystack. I cant wait to see the rest of the needles.
What I hear: Nightmares on Wax, The Roots, Massive Attack, Erykah Badu...and a powerful Greentea Peng...the 90th are coming back and I like it 💚
in a hole rewriting an essay on existentialist nhilist philosophies while without a therapist for two weeks and waiting for more anti depresents while struggling to pay my rent and this is bringing me the most amount of comfort, took my meds with my green tea and bifta with you tah babes x
everything will be okay soon. hugs!
Courage!
I have had my struggles with nihilism but it’s a self destructive cycle. We live largely in a culture that promotes nihilism and destruction for purposes of consumption. Some cynicism and skepticism is necessary for reasonable balance. But depression and anger just keeps you on the negative. Wish you the best.
You got this gurl , I just finished a 7 page philosophy paper in gods existence in this world 💀😂
As a fellow depressed person tempted to ask myself what the actual point of life is these days, I feel you 😅. Good luck, keep your head high and keep listening to good music, it honestly doesn’t look like it ever will rn, but things will get better at some point 💚
I discovered Greentea Peng last year and I'm sooooo freaking happy I did, thanks to colours 💖💖💖💖💖🇯🇲🇬🇾You're my biggest inspiration 😭🌻
What the heck! Why have I just found this? LOVE HER!!!! Style is the BEST!!!!
It’s the hats for me 🥵😍
Lyrics make so much sense in the world we currently live in today. Truly inspiring to see an artist that doesn't go with the main stream narrative and expressing their thoughts in an artistic way. Well done! You have shown the truth of the world's current mentality through simple words.
I put this song next to my eggs and they scrambled themselves.
Everything about this: the rhyming, the combination of instruments, the pacing, each little detail is completely unique and refreshing.
This video is a visual representation of the ways you can involve your inner peace and start your spiritual journey 🦋🧿
bro so many people worked on this video. it’s so beautiful they did a damn good job
I need Greentea peng to collab with Kali Uchis and SZA. 😫
I didn't know needed someone to say that
No she should stay away from main stream rubbish
Arise Queen
Can’t wait to feel the energy and good vibes 🌀🍄💚
This is so very sick!
Aaaaaaaa This video just appeared to me as a recommendation and I come across this comment! aaaaa I love you guys!

she preachin to men? or in general saying that hu man kind mankind?
sounds hellah trans diss subliminal shnit plus magic and god she believe in both cool story .some people hear but dont process whats being put down until its affected them .even then they dont realize. downvote my assh if you want ive been listening to her for years but this got that jk rowling vibes to it so im out peace
Thank you!!!
@@SugarcrumbsTTV explain? Im interested
@@SugarcrumbsTTV if you readone of the parts in the song she says I say man i mean human I mean woman. The word man is included in all.
Her sound is so revolutionary! Am I the only one who feels she’s too underrated but to unique and cool for fame? I feel like they couldn’t handle her bc she’s too real for this industry. Anyways keep up with the amazing music, you are changing lives and inspiring so many people, especially me!❤️❤️
Like they'll want to interview her into a state of dissection, yeah. I prefer those distant, inaccessible artists ✊🏿
Check out the vibe with some 90s trip-hop and acid jazz. . . the evolution that leads to her sound.
She's great but hardly revolutionary. Her sound and style are just early 90s like digable planets
@@ironman10181 100%
following firmly in a great tradition: trip hop
god, i needed this song in my life, ire
2.4 million views she's no secret 🔊💥😍
Phenomenal flying Goddess. So proud she's a uk artist. The video is as beautiful as the work. Refreshing lyrics.
Whoa cinematography is magnefique !
this is a song that snatches you up by your jaw and holds on until the credits roll
Absolutely flawless, what I strive to be
Unique energy is what I mean ❤️🌹👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
i swear her videos come from heaven
This is FANTASTIC! It's been a few since a song gave me this complex pack of feelings. She did NOT disappoint!
I like a bitta peng
it's already just so good visually and musically ahhhhh
Omg when the beat speeds up! Reminds me of Kendrick Lamar and flying lotus!
I love that this video feels like an introduction to her art and who she is. The things she does, how she wakes up, walking through the day. I've never seen/heard Greentea before, but I've l got a clear summary of who she is and what it's about. It's like I was invited over to chill for the day. Absolutely beautiful
The mainstream alternative music
This song woke up something inside of me...thank you.
you help me feel like im on solid ground when shit goes crumbling around me, thank you so much for your music Aria. i live so much happier and lighter
This really is somethin special
Everything about this video is so aesthetically pleasing
you and your art are gifts to this earth. thank you gtp, always always.
