[Lexskate123]

The hook as a ringtone would be the most effective motivational tape for quiting drugs....

[mr71NFL]

This morning, I woke up

Feeling brand new I jumped up

Feeling my highs, and my lows

In my soul, and my goals

Just to stop smokin, and stop drinkin

But I've been thinkin - I've got my reasons

Just to get (by), just to get (by)

Just to get (by), just to get (by)

♪♪♫♪♪♫♪♫♪

[BooBitchBi]

This song is the TRUTH! I feel positive and motivated when I hear it......Can't say the same about MOST of the music today

[T6nnProductions]

@MrBlueRockstar that's because people can't understand real Hip Hop & rap. They listen all that fake shit.

[copelahama1]

FUCK VEVO

[deadnightshinobi]

I helped set up his show at Stanford University back in 2004 or 2005. This song brought the house down, amazing artist and performer. Thanks for posting this.

[MicroWave2O]

Talib Kwelis flow reminds me of Nas

[MrBlueRockstar]

[dominque865]

[TheDivineLife]

wut happened to lyricists like this??

[LiKASO1]

the hip hop game needs to be more like this, every damn song is about smoking weed, fucking the hoes, makin money, all the cars they have, artist need to be more like talib and make songs with meaning behind them

[Startrakk989]

@LiKASO1 There are lupe fiasco , Kid Cudi ,B.O.B

[LiKASO1]

@Startrakk989 Lupe Fiasco yes, Kid Cudi everynow and then goes off track and makes dumb songs though i love his good songs, and i dont think B.O.B is as lyrically gifted as talib cudi

[thorgriego]

@Startrakk989 All Of Em CORNY

[Startrakk989]

@thorgriego Shut the fuck up dumb bitch they may seem corny be they better than Lil Wayne and Drake

[thorgriego]

@Startrakk989 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA This is hip hop lil wayne and drake are irrelevent as well as your kid cudi n bob. FOOL

[Startrakk989]

@thorgriego No Shit Sherlock I know this is hip hop and Kid Cudi makes great songs that you can relate to

so fuck you !

[thorgriego]

Enjoy the radio Fuckboy.

[nomadwarlockrp70]

@LiKASO1 Talib Kweli and Lupe Fiasco are the best rappers in the game. They have songs that mean something more than what they say.



[sjm3100]

@nomadwarlockrp70 You forgot J Cole

[ironlion7800]

@LiKASO1 "these record exexs keep telling me im stupid" is one kwelis best lines. We can blame the artist of modern rap for being shallow, but at the end of the day they supply what is demanded. Its the listeners that dictate whats popular. They can try to shove the crap down our throats but we dont HAVE to like it. If anything modern pop/rap music is an expression of how terrible the times really are. People like falsehoods and immorality more than truth and love. Kweli shines a light for rap

[nfllovesme]

@LiKASO1 Forreal doe.

[ARoy5goSJHS]

@LiKASO1 Listen to Cudi, he is the besssssssssssst.

[mbua1]

@LiKASO1 Then get off your ass and go make some of those songs. There is alot of complaining but nothing is being done. Since you are one of them, you should get used to the new flow of Rap because it's there. Either that or listening to Country or some shit

[LiKASO1]

@mbua1 excuse me but im not a rapper nor artist so i have no interest in making music, i have interest in listening to music and good music at that. and as far as everyone complaining, they should 70% of artist all talk about the same shit just in diffrent lyrics so hop off

[mbua1]

@LiKASO1 You aren't an artist is exactly why you shouldn't complain . There are your own definitions of "Good Music" elsewhere So unless you can make it, go find it. Maybe try living in the past like you have been Since that's where all the good music is. Pussy

[Slide2671]

@LiKASO1 And they also need to learn how to rap with a consistent flow. Look at Drake, all he can do is yell jargon and curse words and then rhyme only the last words of his lines. Talib keeps the flow coming, always has a great meaning to his lyrics, and manages to change up all of his songs.

Currently, he is the rap version of Bob Marley.

[XXXMusicFan1995XXX]

@LiKASO1 I'm also tired about people talking about shooting each other and all the gangsta shit. The shit is corny nowadays, music evolved

[sn00py414]

@LiKASO1 there is a reason why its like that and not like this

[seeomega]

@LiKASO1 he!! yes. lets get this revolution started. If you have not found something you will not die for, you are not fit to live. BLACK LOVE ALL DAY

[Jarix15]

4 people didn't get by.

[thejeckbadden]

[xchesterboyx]

[yasorachi]

I love this socially concious rap stuff I came here because of the colbert report I think it was o.o

[massammas1]

4 people couldnt get by

[tonedogsblue]

if like talib check out this dude name kali kweli he should be signed already

[0Praline0Ich0]

Talib Kweli + Jean Grae = perfection :)

[LAMONTMCCLORA]

mane we need mo rapers like this and common

[tbt4life]

J. Cole spited on this beat too, they so need to make a song 2gether

[motomysz94]

Rozkurwiste! Lubelszczyzna loves Talib!

[Venomous9]

The chorus is beautiful.

Just like the rest of the song.

[humorhelpfulcat]

This is my favorite song, and I fucking hate it because it's too short.

[DaneSupreme]

I would like to give this 2 thumbs up

[papacap727]

first day of quitting smoking weed. this song will help alot.

[MattC6Toledo]

@papacap727 if you cant quit smoking weed then you are weak minded, marijuana isnt addicting, it only is if you let your self rely on it. trust me, i quit smoking for at least 6 months cold turkey and i felt the same.

[nartchenke]

@MattC6Toledo unsupportive douche. Everyone has their own relationship with drugs and everyone deals with their own problems concerning drugs. If papacap727 wants to quit smoking then be happy for him (or her), especially if it involves listening to this great song

[HELLRAZARKILLA]

@MattC6Toledo 6MON IS 1 THING  TRY YEARS AN YEARS..NOT SO EASY THEN

[MattC6Toledo]

@HELLRAZARKILLA naw, if you aint weak minded then you can do anything.

[julesisagimp]

@MattC6Toledo what you felt no different after 6 months of not smoking?? Not even like you could concentrate better and had more energy?? Strange

[MattC6Toledo]

@julesisagimp only different thing was finding out something to replace smoking......life was boring. i smoke now lol

[bFckinNasty]

i dnt like the flow :/

[Bloodyfisted]

how the fuck does this only have 131,XXX viewers?!?!

[AndMyPickle]

@Bloodyfisted Haha how the fuck does this have 2 dislikes? I think a couple people aren't gettin by too good.

[Bloodyfisted]

@AndMyPickle hahaha thanks

This morning, I woke up

Feeling brand new I jumped up

Feeling my highs, and my lows

[Overlijden1995]

"Until the last BEAT'LL drop." I came so hard, A woman in Argentina just became pregnant with a son that can call nowhere home.

[sebslop]

"The TV got us reachin for stars

Not the ones between Venus and Mars, the ones that be readin for parts

Some people get breast enhancements and penis enlargers

Saturday sinners Sunday morning at the feet of the Father

They need somethin to rely on, we get high on all types of drug

When, all you really need is love." ........ Deep, beautiful lyrics.

[rylosny420]

talib kweli is by far one of the best musicians of his time

[ridiculousrusty]

Spirits stay mute while your egos spread rumors,

Spirits stay mute while you eagles spread rumors,

[zi0oom]

Just to get laid, Just to get laid

Just to get laid, Just to get laid

[timmyfasho]

work at mcdonalds, just to get high

pick up that pay check, just to get high

go buy some weed, just to get high

roll that sheezy up, just to get high

smoke a fatty blunt, just to get high :)

[RealHipHopp09]

@timmyfasho

word ;)

[guitaring4fun]

@RealHipHopp09 ok, i have to ask, is this pro-drug use or against it? ...

[modrn]

isn't the message clear, it's basically meant to make us take a hard look at ourselves.

[guitaring4fun]

@modrn yeah but i mean everyones talking about how its also about like smoking weed to so is it alright to be stoned listenin to this music?

[ianbutera]

@timmyfasho I feel like you might be missing the point there.

[jballin124]

@timmyfasho Idk how anybody liked your moronic comment

[cjdelaney0317]

@timmyfasho your brain is tiny.

[sugabearization]

@timmyfasho So fuckin sad. I need to get high after reading that garbage. 45 people have smoked themselves retarded.

[Rogg567]

[NYANKEZ51]

"Not the ones between Venus and Mars, the ones that be readin for parts

Some people get breast enhancements and penis enlargers"

[trademarkaswag]

@LaughYourTubeOff I read your comment the second I heard that line. lmao

[dboyd1208]

the song by itself is something amazing, which makes me extra hype to play it on DJ Hero 2 mixed with Nas-Hero

[thesuntheneonlight]

[FKRAPCITY]

amazing song. kanye is a genius.
