I absolutely love this song. “Be a King when Kingdom comes” 💯
Most inspiring part of the song 👑
It's me.
👏👏👏
this song needs to be appreciated more.
True

Why?
49 million means it ain’t appreciated
@@fab2225 No, it absolutely does not mean that. 49 million views is more than the overwhelming majority of videos on CZcams.
This man was ahead of this time. Feel
like this song was for now.
Agreed...

It's eternal
Right. Have you seen this video before?

This song reminds me so much of my dad. Not only speaks but shows the example of what husband, father, and most importantly what a MAN should be!
Yes, this reminds me of my dad as well. He transitioned 10 years ago and I am still grieving over him. This song speaks to his character. ❤️
That is awesome your father must be the MAN for doing good things for you
The man is criminally underrated
He needs more attention
This is one song that helped me complete an Associates, Bachelors and Masters degree, while working full-time, and taking care of family. I never faltered. Thank you Aloe for timeless music with depth.
Cheers !
@Eric Bates , thank you sincerely brother.
Aloe is the mushroom on the masked singer
Song hit different when you
Doing what is suppose to be done and not passing the buck.
This should be on the soundtrack for them Boyz/men
Who are about that life.
That’s amazing brother! Congrats
This song sounds like it could've been made in any era. Has elements of old school and modern styles
Agreed 👍
Yes this song sounds straight out of the 1800..,
100% agreed!! ❤
That’s why songs such as this are timeless and remembered like in other decades as opposed to the shite served up for the most part in pop for the last 20 years.
Because the main hook was taken from an Elton John song "Your Song"
Just lost my job a few days ago.... used to play this song on the way to work
(along with i need a dollar lol). Now.... it's more of wake up song.... I need prayers everyone. thank you,.
Prayers to you!!!
This song is better than 99% of music nowadays.

Its funny that after watching "The Dreamer" by Dave Chappelle, i keep forwarding to the end just to hear this song. What a great song!
its goes hard with the pictures, not so much with this video
@@asandaLFC very true
Man.. this song came out after I did the hardest thing that Ive ever done.. like a month later. And I remember listening to it on repeat and watching this video. This video is 9 years old, I can’t believe it’s been that long, im still here ❤️
Doing the hardest thing that has ever done wow before the song came out that must be amazing
This song was played at my dads funeral almost 5 years ago now. Still to this day when I hear it I think of him and how unassuming and cool he was. He was the man. A true gentlemen with no prejudices ♥️
Sorry for your loss your dad sounds like a great man and is in a better place looking over you and feeling proud of you❤💯

Aloe Blacc... Many think of him as a great singer or an inspiration. But for me he is my savior. He single handedly is the reason i’m still here today cooking up curry for my loved ones. The passing of all family in the small timid age of 10 left me heartbroken and homeless with no directions on how to survive in this big harsh world. But an angelic voice allowed me to stay on my feet and not surrender to an endless poverished cycle they had been haunting the rakesh legacy for centuries, and that voice is none other than Aloe Blacc. His songwritings and other forms of musical endeavors built me to be the man i am today. He taught me more about life in this single song than any education or teacher ever has. He guided me to book a flight to America at the age of 11 and enroll in school. I spent my nights on the street studying while other kids around me played with their friends. I became Valedictorian and was gifted with the opportunity to go to Harvard Law School for free. Again i was Valedictorian in Harvard. flash forward to 5 years later I am living in a penthouse with 2 wives and over 400,000$ salary yearly. I guess what i’m trying to say is a Aloe Blacc are akin in the fact the we both are
The Man
The 400000$ must be a reason you have 2 wives 😂, still succesfull tho
@@j.jonahjameson3756 🅱ruh
The frick 2 wives bruh
Keep on dreaming man.. it's gud to dream
@@j.jonahjameson3756 bruh yes, yes I am smh
This song has an amazing energy. It defines masculinity at its finest and makes me feel invincible. I discovered it while I was struggling with depression and it helped me so much. And sometimes when i feel tired I come back here to find that force again. Thanks Aloe for this masterpiece, we are the men.
He does need more followers
As a woman, this song makes me feel so powerful and make me feel like I can reach my goals. Keep on shining and if anyone’s going through it, just keep your head up. Life gets better no matter!
Song hits so different when you’re all grown up and need something to hype you up
That’s what it’s doing to me rn; hyping me up

Seriously it is and so is he he's sooo good and I love a majority of his songs
Dave Chappelle just bought back some good memories.....i loved this song.
I love this song too
Who came here after watching the Dave Chappelle special on Netflix? Never heard this song until then. This is actually dope. Fit the Chappelle ending perfectly! 🔥🔥🔥
RIP Kobe Bryant and Chadwick Boseman.
The Black Mamba and The Black Panther. Despite their tragic and premature deaths, this song is definitely a tribute to their legacies.
May the Lord rest their Souls.🙏🏾

… what?
The video is a story and I love it. I'm not black but I can feel their pain as well as their power. Honestly, black people have an amazing history and some great figures
Your comment is poetic and very kind. Prayers for you and your culture as well as we all struggle to love, learn, appreciate, and celebrate one another.
+Nya G Agreed. The part with Malcom X is the best one.
I agree wit you
Im from Argentina and maybe im wrong but Malcolm X was very separatist, but of course he was a great fighter against racism, but i prefer luther king, he wanted a union between white and afroamerican people. I repeat maybe im wrong.
+Mah Oma I consider both as different approaches of outcry against the pain and suffering that African Americans were feeling. I think that when oppressed, there are times when a more aggressive approach is necessary; however, my faith in God encourages that I love rather than react aggressively. Love casts out fear and hate. With my own personal experiences with racism, being loving isn't always easy...like at all. But when I choose to love unconditionally, I see God move mightily. Viva Argentina! Bonita pais!
I love this song. My teacher play the song in class after I passed my class. It reminds me that you can do anything you put your mind to. I’m the man
What a great life to have for your teacher to play this song everyday
