Flobots - Rise

[MasonWasHeer]

Theres just something about this song...

[cutecherrychick]

@MasonWasHeer ANTI-ILLUMINATI!!!!! yepp.........

[teddybear4729]

i think there is a smudge of something red on the like bar...

[MajesticDragonRanch]

there's arguing happening even on a song saying we should rise together. wow.

[noah171998]

@MajesticDragonRanch exactley



[guitarlover654]

@MajesticDragonRanch Some people just don't practice what they preach... I'm trying to turn from a life of violent thoughts.. it's a habit though, you know?

[MajesticDragonRanch]

@guitarlover654 I do. it's so hard to be nice all the time. Some people seem to just live to piss people off. It takes a lot of self control to stay calm. I have a temper, so I try to stay away from people. it's not worth Fighting.

[BUNCHACRUCH]

i support the troops not the war

[PaleMoons]

I am the master of my fate

I am the captain of my soul

[bedbunnyable]

This makes me want to have a peace riot or something of the sort. Know what I mean?

[spyderelf]

@bedbunnyable peace riot? thatd be an oxymoron eh? maybe just a protest

[ooohhhshiny]

erm.. i like eminem and flobots? is that a party fowl?

[XxTJExX]

F*cking Yes! F*cking Love Flobots!

[twiztedteenz]

2 min of dead air at the end wtf???

[behnambazmi]

@twiztedteenz silence is a strong power, just like ghandis non-vilonce protest.

[twiztedteenz]

@behnambazmi holy crap hippy much?! terrible man

[behnambazmi]

@twiztedteenz lol, aint no hippy, but peace man. live long and full

[Cat1855]

@twiztedteenz You say 'Hippy' like its a bad thing.

[shinoobidan]

Immortal tech and Flobots are pretty much the only famous people who know whats goin' on.

[MrSeanlamkins]

@shinoobidan Immortal's not too famous but people from the RealRhymeSayers label also know whats up :)

[KykyBooh]

They Keep It Straight (:

[racer24100]

good song

[willowme567]

@CelestialAemoh ur right about the flobots, but i think eminem's stuff is mostly about sex. sigh. my bros in the army as a medical guy. come home, timmy. =( but the flobots are good.

[CelestialAemoh]

@willowme567 I didn't say most of his music (if you want to call it that) isn't. I was simply stating he has at least 1 or 2 songs about something meaningful. Also, your brother is a medic? Does he work out in the war zone or not?

[HipHopLives2012]

@CelestialAemoh u should also checkout Lowkey and Diabolic there both pretty sick too but i like I.T the most Hollywood drive by and Watch out good track by him ;P

[willowme567]

@CelestialAemoh oh yea i kno wat u mean. yea, he is. he might go over seas in september.

[Handbuzzer]

I only like 2 of their songs... Handlebars and White Flag Warrior... to be honest I think this song and of the others are boring.

[sparrowstar1234]

1. Don't diss Eminem ._. I wanna see YOU get up on stage and try to do what he does. 2. FLOBOTS RULE! 3. Saw them in concert today..there more amazin' in person

[Airsoft4989]

@sparrowstar1234 you see them at jamboree?

[kalvin97gagt]

@Airsoft4989 yes!

[Airsoft4989]

@kalvin97gagt That was an amazing night... IT WAS SOOO AWESOME!!!!!!

[sparrowstar1234]

@Airsoft4989 Hell yahhh! I was the chick with the Dirtbag hat on ;D

[Airsoft4989]

@sparrowstar1234 umm cool!!!

[demigoduriah]

do all of their songs have good messages or is that just me?

[madaranewmoonseye]

celestial I agree But Can You Please Not sounds like ur a 12 year old girl in the way INproper english is used lol

[supaflyz88]

does anyone know where i can find the instrumental for this?

[J1a2s3o4n500]

this is what WHITE rappers do lol

[1C7Z3H5X]

@jimjim28 lol sorry jimmy i cant be as enlightened as you

[ashleygrey999]

The Flobots need more songs , they speak truth.

[1C7Z3H5X]

this music is garbage,and you self important liberals are heaping piles of dog feces

[TelegramSam59]

@1C7Z3H5X Let me guess,you believe Fox is "Fair and Balanced" right?This country was founded by liberals you moron.If you don't like the music go listen to your George Michael cds.Oh,and that smell of feces means it's time to brush your teeth.

[1C7Z3H5X]

@TelegramSam59 lol,who said anything about fox?

[thisnamewaseasy]

@TelegramSam59 I agree, but George Micheal is gay. no I mean, he is literally gay. not as an nsult- he is- which leads me to believe he would be a liberal.

[TelegramSam59]

@thisnamewaseasy ever heard of the "Log Cabin Republicans?

[SpeciallyInfected]

@1C7Z3H5X I don't exactly see how making a message about rising over stereotypes with love and passion is "garbage". Please explain your reason to make that comment other than your hatred for a political party.

[ishallnever15]

I love how once I take notice to a flobots video and I see such people talking about political things. Its people like those who arent really afraid to voice out an opinion that make our country great. Unless your one of those dicks trying to force your opinion on someone. Overall, peace and love, and flobots = Amazing~ Just Saying ;]

[hede88]

@JonJon969

continued ... average joe. If you want to be a freedom fighter in todays world the best thing you can do is educate yourself and help spreading the facts of what is going on. That is best done with a camera, not a sniper scope.

Jacque Fresco, Bill Hicks, John Pilger, Ron Paul, George Carlin, Carl Sagan are some of the people telling it like it is, except Ron Pauls policies don't really do away with the underlying cause of corruption.. competitive economics..

[hede88]

@JonJon969

If you believe the Iraq war makes Americans safer, then you have been seriously brainwashed by the mainstream media. I'm sorry I don't know what I can do for you. You should probably start reading up on the history of the USA. War is mostly due to business and geostrategic goals for power = future profits and control. The wars of the US for the last 65 years has never been about freedom and security. War in itself can, by the nature of it, only produce fear and insecurity for the...

[Franchan10]

@hede88

dont educate ignorant people over the internet.

its not worth it

[KAKASHIROCKS226]

ohmigod. i know thats its meaningfull music and all, but really. so you need to have arguments about it...? you're complaining about wars in a rather war-like manner. why does it matter why we're against it? just agree thats it basically pointless, say how much you love the song and get on with your lives. like this.

this song is so frikkin beast. its so liberating and inspirational. oh, and i hate wars, dont you??

[starflake10]

i've heard this before???

[queensupreme2]

love it

[hede88]

Join the revolution!

Capitalism is destroying the world and separating people, spawning hatred between nations and people..

One love!

check out the interviews with Jacque Fresco

Inform yourself.

Protect the internet

[EngineerAdams]

@hede88

If anything, capitalism is preserving the world, if people would rather solve things economically rather than through military means, doesn't that mean that less harm is being done to the people and cultures of those conflicting nations?

[hede88]

@EngineerAdams

Militaries and wars have never are not meant to solve anything. This is just what people are told through the media. Wars are for profit. War is big business, always has been.

A trading economy (capitalism, fascism, communism etc.) will always create wars since it is a system based on competition and people will do whatever they are rewarded for, no matter how corrupt.

The only solution is declaring all the earth as common heritage of all people.

[Anciental]

Blaming the world's problems on a trading economy is like blaming the problems on having a society. If we all secluded ourselves and were totally self-sufficient, there would be no problems. But we're can't do that. We need other people, and I know that's what you're saying, but rather than try and fix a system, which will lead to a new system, which will be corrupted, we need to "fix" individual people. That's the idea with this music; we need to help people and lead them to the answer.

[hede88]

@Anciental

You can't just "fix" individuals. Our behaviour is enforced by the culture so if you want to change behaviour you have to change society. We want to do that through education. Read about The Venus Project, there is much great information.

All problems in society stem from humans within society thats lagic, how could it be otherwise?

[Hellsadvocate]

Capitalism causes war. capitalism is not evil, nor is socialism. People are evil, and these to socioeconomic structures the vector through which the evil is channeled.

[orangeclad]

Together We Rise

Awesome

[MarryMeGirl41]

Flobots are cool..almost on the same page as Immortal Technique

[FastLBR]

@MarryMeGirl41 thay are way different then immortal.

[MarryMeGirl41]

I said on the same page, meaning they have similar views on political issues,

[askpie35]

i thought it was some rap some salivate

[GTABOYZ35789]

they all no how to rap

[sourdiesel141]

flobots are the best rappers I've herd except for eminem and Dr Dre

[CelestialAemoh]

They're the best rappers that actually talk about things that mean something. Eminem sings songs that mean stuff too, but not all of his songs mean things

[DubulWalz]

@CelestialAemoh but realize Eminem is a rapper who has moods like crap...so though the flobots do rap and talk about more problems in the world, emnem talks about personal problems...which should set them apart but either way Eminems my favorite rapper, Flobots are my alternative band.

[ieatpancakes123]

@CelestialAemoh all eminem raps about is drugs and kim

[J1a2s3o4n500]

@ieatpancakes123 and stan! lol

[CelestialAemoh]

@ieatpancakes123 Not exactly, Mockingbird, for example, is about his daughter, Haley

[willowme567]

@CelestialAemoh omg ur so right!!!! no, eminems stuff is mostly about like... sex and stuff. these guys are all about war and stuff. sigh. my bros in the army as like a medical guy. come home, timmy.

[DMG4rr1ty]

@CelestialAemoh They are some of the best political rappers out there, I can think of only two who are better. 2pac, yes he's a political rapper, listen to changes or ghetto gospel, and Zack De La Rocha of Rage Against the Machine.

[CelestialAemoh]

@DMG4rr1ty 2pac, yeah, I have seen some of his lyrics, he was pretty political, mostly about his own life if I'm not mistaken? And yeah, Rage is/was a very political band (idk if they're still together or not).

[HipHopLives2012]

@CelestialAemoh what! best mainstream rappers that actually talk bout things that mean something what bout Immortal technique , lowkey and so on is it because they have no mainstream label that there music is irrelevant i recommend u check those guys out they have very strong messages in there songs also

[CelestialAemoh]

@HipHopLives2012 Never heard of them XD. I will check them out though, thanks for the recommendation =D

[HipHopLives2012]

@CelestialAemoh let me know what ya think of them theres a bunch more i can name if u like ;P

[CelestialAemoh]

@HipHopLives2012 I listened to Dance With The Devil, Bin Laden, and Cause of Death so far, I will listen to more. I really like it, thank you for telling me about Immortal Technique

[babaattack]

@HipHopLives2012 tech isnt mainstream

[HipHopLives2012]

@babaattack i never said tech was mainstream maybe u should read what i wrote man so u dont look like a fool bro ;P

[akoolkidsproduction]

@CelestialAemoh you forgot Immortal Technique

[shukakage97]

@CelestialAemoh eminem is way better than them but theyre good

[Timedevour36]

@shukakage97 Agreed. I like these guys, but one reason why they're not popular is because the guy's rapping itself isn't that great, tbh. Good song and beat, but the flow is meh.

[AllstargunH3]

@CelestialAemoh i like both

[itsakadoozy95]

@CelestialAemoh name one song eminem has written that effects anyone but himself or his fans

[CelestialAemoh]

@itsakadoozy95 Umm? Mockingbird? I would think that would effect Haley, don't you?

[itsakadoozy95]

@CelestialAemoh so what your saying is he wrote a song about HIS life....shocker

[CelestialAemoh]

@itsakadoozy95 You said himself or his fans, not his life, if that's what you meant, say that next time.

[TheAbsractMind]

@CelestialAemoh check out blackalicious, if you like it

[CelestialAemoh]

@TheAbsractMind Hahah, I like it, it's kinda of silly, and epic at the same time. He's very good at rapping xD

[mathal13]

@CelestialAemoh Eminem sings about his life

Flobots sing about alot of people's life

some people relate to Eminem

some relate to Flobots

[CelestialAemoh]

@mathal13 Precisely! :D

[jackandjill45]

@CelestialAemoh emminem, murs, atmosphere, lupe fiasco, common, talib kweli, living legends, zion i, aesop rock, esoteric and a lot more good rappers who talk about real things

[sethypoo727]

@CelestialAemoh eminem sings about the same exact thing in all of his songs his daughter and emotional stuff

[DimensionLordWiggles]

@sethypoo727 and gerbils in his ass

[CelestialAemoh]

@sethypoo727 And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Everybody has a heart, some of us just disguise it a lot better than others.

[rext8020]

@sethypoo727 your wrong. listen to mosh please. wont mean much now but still its a great song for when he wrote it.

[Sora657]

@CelestialAemoh especially his not afraid song.

[grimso666]

@CelestialAemoh most of his song mean things, but they mean things to himself not us, problems that are not global but personal

[chumbucket206]

@CelestialAemoh You should listen to underground hip-hop then like immortal technique for starters .....

[commentableuser]

@CelestialAemoh Check out Cyne, he's similar.

[CelestialAemoh]

@commentableuser I will do that :)

[SllyRabbitTrxR4Kids]

in description dumbass

[Neliith]

This song is awesome :)

[Megadwproductions]

dis song go hard yo "is your alley way full of recyclin bins or bullet cases" best part od the song mane

[DannyM2700]

zombies seriously? listen to the song again man that aint what its about

[AFProductions1]

... About zombies?? Its about we all should rise to fight back to the goverment and stuff... Zombies?

[Tekkactus]

Nahhh, I'm pretty sure it's about zombies. Are we listening to the same lyrics?

[rockisreal]

this song isn't about zombies. It's about how we need to come together to fix society.

[Tekkactus]

So is this song about zombies or not?

[Cowsruleforever]

Flobots FTW <3

[Serhey34]

jimbo you're an illiterate fucking idiot who will be working at a McDonald's drive through while we rise. Keep dreaming ass lick.

[snowbunny753]

Wow. And here I thought the Flobots were against fighting. Dude, you are not being a bot. Just because a person shares their opinion, you think you have to be a bitch. I have a news flash for you, if you want people to like you, be nice, instead of a fucking bitch.

[0jimbob000]

when you guys rise,ill be there to nock you down.your all stupid americans who have no sense of mortality!you stand up and you'll get shot down.and ill be the one shooting that AK-47,just to see you down on the ground!come on then.what you gonna do!

[hairywood]

m8 shut up im a brit aswell the flobots r right unless your a viglante so shut up pls

[monsterhunterking2]

Flobots = Saviors Flobots FTW Their Lyrics Are Just Amazing No Other Band Is Better

[TrulyAMalfoy]

I love Flobots because everything they say.. I believe.

I have always believed, and I never really knew how to explain my beliefs.. but they do it perfectly. Does anyone know of any good bands like Flobots?

[3mm4McK33]

Immortal Technique knows what's up

[serpent1029]

Yeah immortal Tech is sick :P.. Flobots opened for him a couple of times

[rockrgirl01]

I am surprised considering the tone expressed in their music is quite different.

[serpent1029]

Still about the same stuff really... similar inspirations..The thought that goes into the music that counts..

[shunuske0]

flobots=a new era

[sportguy79]

flobots = chance

[rebelboy603]

man this song is awesome they're so right we must rise together to make this country what we want it to be.Together we the people can do anything but we must be as one but we need a spark then the fire can begin. Even if there is only a few of us that doesn't mean anything we can still do it together if you believe of wut i say message me tell me what you the people think if you agree good to you if not you have the freedom of speech and i have no right to take that away.

[slotopia]

dont let anyone tell you that you and a small group of dedicated individuals can't accomplish everything because that is all that has happened throughout history

[marioandultrachap]

i no rite. to end all the misery and discratnation all we have 2 do is rise together

[MMOchamp9]

flobots = truth

[IRNOTKIRA]

I love these guys.

For some odd reason I never look at them as rappers .-. which might be wierd, but when I think of rap, I think of..something else.

I usualy dont like rap, :| so I guess its abnormal I like these guys 83

Ohwell

[BruisedBananna]

Yeah I know what you mean!! I always have to remind myself that they are rap XD. I don't know why but they seem to have their own genre in our minds!

[tornado18681]

its like jazz feat rap imo xD

[TrulyAMalfoy]

I agree totally. I never actually knew they were rap till a few days ago.. I never saw them as rap, and I like rap. I do. It just doesn't have that "feel". It doesn't have any of the negative energy that most rap songs have. It's not materialistic.. They're singing about real people, and real hard times, and just.. They seem down to earth.

They are the type of band that I would pay $150 to go see live.

[ryoxas]

you should listen to lupe fiasco, i think he might be your kind of style if you like flobots, he does the same thing but with different events :)

[skeins0000]

I love flobots <3 not only do they teach about the goverment but they make rap awesome.

[XxchampaignxX]

niceee

[freddyv14]

simply brill!!!

[TylerXProductions]

This is the band that are out there, Knowing there shit, but still keep trying, Come to Download or Reading!

XD Well done Flobots or FloBoats What ever =P

[Motlhen]

My favourite flobots song apart from The Moon!'

[xxlivvy95xx]

i love it. :D x

[muzicluvr001]

I love this song. it's amazing. And soooo true.

[xxxwolfxxxlove]

this song is just moving, touching, and sad, sad how the world is and how the people suffer while the rich stay fat and wealthy but we starve and can barley afford food, great song, flobots are great people

[Petrolgang]

"barley afford food"

hahah that was awesome.

If you did that on purpose, you're my new best friend.

If not, then I just sound like a dick.

(Ir)regardless, nice meeting you.

And it's true.

Flobots are great people.

[xxxwolfxxxlove]

its just how the economy is right now all the bills that have to be paid, then on top of that food, its hard but the flobots are great people i respect everything they do and nice meeting you 2

[musicboi92]

deep....love it.

[Tulsagolfomatic]

We Rise Together!!! That shit is the truth, and the message is as old as it is true. We Rise Together.

[my1nameis]

this song is freaking awsome!!!!

[sp1tfire4194]

i love the silence.. then it goes WE RISE TOGETHER.

Amazing song!

i love how flobots have meaning to there songs

[askaninjafan]

best kind of rap there is.

[sp1tfire4194]

hell yeaa mann

[frankenstone3]

I love this song so much.

[warhammer224]

oh oh man just my emotion!!! !!

[Fay13xoxo]

My bf loves this song..i give it a 7

[faerieofskye]

these guys were at my university this past saturday! i got a wicked sunburn watching them live but it was so worth it!

[IOU979797]

i listen to metal but this kinda sounds cool

[2g00d4u1994]

NNFaNRacing, take this as poetry, not as some old music that was written.

Classical doesn't always mean better, how many people do you know today that are listening to classical Mozart instead of Mainstream artists such as Eminem, Matchbox 20, Disturbed or even flobots.

[jjbloughran]

chohaesing you faggot:)

[xxlivvy95xx]

This kind of music actually has a meaning to it. i LOVE it!

i heard it a while ago but i still <33333 It (: x

[sorakingofallkeys]

rise togher we rise i love this song and the thing is awsome about flobots is they always sing about our world and a million people respect them

[Fear08MX]

the guitar was sik! from 2:16 to 2:58

[havik82]

tryin to learn this BAD ASS song on the guitar but i suck :( so i guess it will take some time.

[mewzik4ebah]

Whoa!!

This song is long!!

But I still like it.

Flobots are

Aweosmee!!

XD

[CENTERGREEN]

ignorance is rampant. realize the difference between a song and its music behind it. some pieces have meaning some dont. music, like any other art form is an expression of emotion, whether its conveyed instrumentally only or with lyrics in it.

[fireguyjaydog70311]

long song

[JIMMY1MONETZ]

It's a nice song i when i said nice i mean like very nicw= ]

[Tech1know]

fuck jews

[blacklacedvenom]

this song used to really irritate me cos it just says the same thing over and over, but now i really like it... a lot

[LOVEhateKILLpain]

I love this song soooo much

Its amazing

[NNFaNRacing]

Fuck, i hate songs with meaning... It ruins what music is...

[HeidiiBabess]

What Would Be The point then you twatt[:

[FlashJordan12]

Congratulations on making yourself sound like an idiot.
