      I needed a bit of this wholesome energy today.
      This world will never be able to show it's gratitude for having you.
      You're a blessed soul, you know that?

    With everything going on here in Minnesota right now I had to revisit this song to find some sort of comfort. I wish more people had the same views on life as Brother Ali does. I often get tears in my eyes while listening to this.

    Rhymesayers FTW! Ali brings it everytime, with rhymes worth hearing and a need to be said. Ant brings the melody to make me sing along.

    " and i go with the feeling from the star, im blind in the eye so i see you with my heart. to me all of yall look exactly the same, via faith compassion and pain" THAT IS THE GREATEST LINE THAT I HAVE HEARD FROM A RAPPER IN OUR ERA!

    If you dislike this song, you're part of the problem. When we can all realize that love and compassion is the answer to every problem we will not move forward. Like my brother Ali said, we all habe the same color blood, and the dame fear and pain. Love your community and the people around you and you'll change the world

  • @g_young_h
    @g_young_h Před 15 lety

    You don't have to like both, but respect is a must. This is a genre of music growing by the hour, no way will you agree with eveyones words or style or reason for doing what they do...but you have to respect the fact these people choose music to entertain and teach us.

    Been a big fan of Brother Ali for over 10 years. Its been a minute since I've listen to his music. My mind didn't hesitate to instantly remind of this song during these crazy times occurring In this country. We need more music with this message in the world.
    "I go with the feeling from the start,
    Blind in the eye, so I see you with my heart. And to me all yall look exactly the same fear, faith, compassion and pain."

  • @blessedXwretched
    @blessedXwretched Před 13 lety

    The fact that people are even arguing in the comments for a song like this is pitiful. This song is about unity and humanity and love, we should be saying we love one another, not arguing over dislikes and cursing and other nonsense. Instead of preaching and arguing, show each other the same love you want to be shown, that's what this song is all about. Love. I love every one of you, because you are human beings. Yes, I talk a lot of shit sometimes, but that doesn't change that fact.

  • @sidrosteel
