  • Royce Da 5'9" theirs never a lot of song that get me emotional. But this one made me think.

  • this song is what hip hop should be about the struggle and coming out of it or at least living your life doing what you can to try and do the right thing and enjoying the time we do have hear thank god for blessing me with the chance to try and do the right thing with whats right with the rest of my life

  • when i have a kid im going to introduce this song to him and use this to speak to him

  • this right here speaks straight to the heart. real talk. God bless this man and all ya'll. we all have our own lane but all of us goes through some kind of struggle.

  • 8 people dont have a life

  • Real music man All ROyce da 5'9 music is amazing but this is just incredible better most of the rappers today

  • If this is still the soundtrack of your life,.. thumb up

  • who ever disliked this track is a damn fool !!! Or a evil being . SMH . This is some heartfelt real hiphop music and kats need to realize that this truth here is nothing but realisms!!!!

  • Am i the only person here that is dissapointed in the views common people let this song come to life and get it to where it needs to be in the minds of millions "This is Life"!!!!

  • Royce is Crap, he killed eminem, or he betrayed him sorry..

  • @745kate

    Obviously you know nothing, Since eminem and royce just released a new album in their group, bad meets evil. Look up what you say before you say it, because royce isnt crap, and im not insulting eminem, because eminem is amazing too.

    Royce and eminem made up, move on with life and forget about the past.

  • @745kate Royce brought Eminem back to life

  • Good ish...

  • Royce has always been one of the best rappers around lyrically, and its good to see him coming into the mainstream where 95% of the rappers are fake.

  • This is my favorite song by royce by far. This is real hip hop.

    One of my biggest influences.

  • Very, very good song. 

  • one of the best if not best tracks from royce...PERIOD

  • God damn Royce... this is the good shit.

  • He is my voice

  • for this man i would give my damn life

  • where can i find the instrumental for this??? poss with Amerie singing in it?? hook me up.

  • Def wish he would release more real tracks like "life". Helped me get through a lot of rough times back in high school...Sad that tracks like this are just too real for some people.

  • @Statik1482 real talk homie i love this song i bumped it everyday u hit it right on the head tho to real for some people u had word wrong tho not some majority its sad how many people r fake only people who been thru shit can appreciate real songs man

  • Royce is super super super under rated. He is ill as hell with lyrics and wordplay. Hell the sequel is comin on 14th of june

  • @MrMgsguy I agree... Hes so missunderstood!

  • This is one of my favorite royce joints

  • royce is the most underrated MC ever

  • so under rated most people who hear the name n have no clue. no one would guess he use to fuck wit eminem, so sad brudda

  • @Strifeda59 They are friends again man. They have an album coming out June 14th. Hell: The Sequel. Bad Meets Evil is back!

  • This whole song is perfect, Royce's verses, Amerie's chorus, Ayatollah's beat. Whole thing is amazing.

  • It's good seein nickel get more fans since slaughterhouse sugned wit shady

  • @ganggreen111 I was a Royce fan until him an D12 started beefin then after they resolved it I started listen to him again. Its dumb I shoulda just listened to both an aprreciated what they were puttin out I regret it, but I wanan see this dude do good for real he deserves it.

  • 6 people shouldn't have a Life. Seriously. They disliked my song.

  • royce droppin real knowledge. this track never gets old

  • royce is my first fav rapper 2nd its eminem and 3rd its tech n9ne my last one on the whole list past dre snoop n all them is lil wayne dude uses to much autotune c: so yeah ROYCE DA 59 FOREVER!

  • sooooo underrated :( looking forward to some new shit :)

  • This song's fucking amazing

  • Amerie >>3 I love u girl!!!

  • 6 people HATE "LIFE"! lol

  • @onespecialgyrl ohohohohoho THUMBS UP!!!!!! (In the most obviously sarcastic tone)

  • Comment removed

  • @my1991tube Ayatollah produced this

  • Comment removed

  • @my1991tube don't call me a fag, and check wikipedia, cunt

  • @nastynas373 and whats this ayatollah !

  • @my1991tube shut the fuck uo bout the illuminati, this shits about his son, take ya conspiracy theory faggot ass off here and watch a jay z video fuckin bitch, royce is the illest

  • @TheHardcoreBastard hey don't call me bitch. listen to music and shut the fuck up bout dissing me for no raison, yes Royce is ill i love hem, joell ortiz too . and eminem didn't produce this, your happy now ?

  • @my1991tube it aint u dog

  • @my1991tube and eminem aint produce this, ayatollah did, fuckin eminem groupie, fuckin eminem hes wack as fuck and had been since 04

  • It is amazing how we all said how this brings back memories... AMAZING!!! This is HIP-HOP!!!

  • god i was forgotten about this track(chorus) but now im back!! god this takes me back in time...

  • @diviz0r right!! I remember finding this on my homies hard drive in his Pratt dorm room in like 98-99... I couldn't believe i found this today!!

  • Amerie>3

  • love they lyrics got meaning this is true rap

  • @Joseph075 actually he's probably the embodiment of underground. KRS has never signed with a major label, doesn't have huge producers circulating him internationally, isn't coming out with BS videos and shit. He does his own thing, for his own people, to master his craft. Small shows, good records, without the rest of it. To NOT consider him underground just because he's a legend would be absurd.

  • Amerie >3

  • Damn forgot about this song...brings back memories

  • aykeybeatz that is a good list of underground rappers......especially i love zion i

  • I have respect for rappers like this who actually speak about life and real shit going on and not about bitches, cars, money and stupid materialistic things.

  • holy fuck.....

  • Catch Royce Da 5 9 live @Manchester Mint lounge 9th Dec 2010

    for more info go to ticketline . co ..uk

  • Yes I know, not only the text cuts deep, his voice is aint like any other vocalist (My opinion) Deep respect, I still cherish his albums! He doesn't care if his album only sells one copy, it's for you ;)

  • Royce & Joe Budden "I'm Cold" ... Video here... watch?v=BZS_TP8OSVM

  • I really love you for making this song man :), It's deep, byebye modern faced hiphop this is from the heart.

  • @VincentWest1 the sad part is- this song is ten years old already. they just dont make music like this anymore- unless of cours...your name is Royce Nickel Nine...Fiva Nina till tha death of me..........

  • lil gayne is gay. Feen119 just shut up. He always will suck and he ain't no gangster rapper he ain't even a gangster. He wears skinny jeans but anyways back to this awesome royce song. Royce is awesome.

  • Every one talking about little wayne is going to get shit on.. em is  going to show him how to unlock his mind.. and expand lil W. is just a gangster rapper i have to admit he dont got those hooks.. but he'll learn.. Ya'll need to keep your mouth shut and lesion to some other music and go get some pussy if you be hating on llittle waahyn like every one be doinn.

  • Really like detroit rappers em,royce,obie trice,d12 mess with them

  • @KrissCrossK obie trice is fucking shit, his rhymestyle just about everything is shit. LMAO

  • Royce at his best !

  • Truly inspirational and thought-provoking. Thank-you Royce.

  • one of the greatest songs of all time, realest lyrics i ever heard.

  • Songs like this just don't come out anymore. Only in the past is where you'll find real music. I was a huge fan of Royce, he's still good now, but he's on some bullshit just like all the other rappers. Acting sooo hard about guns n shit, he ain't gonna put nothing out like this anymore. I doubt it.......

  • @detroitMC313 check out the song "shake this" from street hop

  • @detroitMC313 I dont think hes switched up his style he just really doesnt have competition anymore everyone else is on bullshit he can half ass it an still be harder thatn 90% of these dudes out today. Its kinda shitty when you think about it cuz that means rap is in a bad place, but him and shady together again could be the best thing for Rap in a long time.

  • @AtotheJ4 Yeah I know, them together, they really are putting on some crazy original shit. I listen to their new shti and read the lyrics as I listen to them. They're sick songs, but I just don't every care to hear them... No matter what they release, I'm always finding myself listening to all their real shit, like Eminem's beginning of his career to Encore (Relapse and Recovery are good, but I don't listen to them half as much). And royce's first 3 albums.

  • @detroitMC313 Fo sho man I know what you mean I do listen to a lot of old Shady and Royce fo real.

  • @detroitMC313 i gotta disagree, his lyrics on "the one" with slaughterhouse are fresh as shit. It's not as deep, but he's still puttin out deep and clever shit, "Part Of Me"? c'mon, that shit is a lyrical masterpiece

  • @detroitMC313 Music is a commodity like anything else thats exchangeable, who are you to decide what's "good", I'm sick and tired of reading about "music these days" it's so myopic. You have to understand, do you think all music in 2002 was like this? of course there was trite money grabbing music back then too. Songs like these have stood the test of time you can't judge the present like the past.

  • Me and my boy been best friends now for about 6 years, since we met in 10th grade... In class, we started talking about Rap, that's what got us talking to eachother and he let me hear this song on his headphones, and I'm like, oh wow this is my shitt. This is when D12 waz hott and we're both from Detroit nn shit. I always think about that shit when I hear this song. He's like one of the realest dudes I know and it's funny how this song is soo deep and shit. Hidding meanings in life errywhere

  • @detroitMC313 damn son. that's deep

  • How good is this song man.Royce is not only one of the best lyricist`s outthere, but he`s always on point with his lyrics.Real hip hop.Peace

  • i def need a mp3 2 this...but no1 has it =/

  • @trrrde mediafire [dot ] com /?omrrwp9d3v272rs

  • I love your description homie, I'm going through a lot of pain right now, and this song is perfect to help me through it, as it has in the past. Live on homie.

  • anyone got an mp3 download for this...i def need this right now...pause

  • anyone got the instrumental? plz thanks

  • any man out there with a son should have there lil man listen to this shit...this is the realest of real right here....

  • hes the one

  • people spittem out some great underground artists but dont ever look the SAGE. (sage francis)

  • royce is the most epic mc ive seen beside eminem lil wayne aint got nothing on them

  • I been bangin this track since it was released and they will play this the day my lights go out. Royce is a beast!

  • laughing my ass off

    people call this underground

    Do you people know how many vids of this guy are on youtube ?!

  • @AfroBaaz

    That explains Wiz Khalifa right? dumbass.

    He isnt Mainstream thats for sure, nor is Wiz

  • hey if Shady signed Slaughterhouse (not official yet but will be), and still has D12 (SH is way better than D12), could we see a long 10+ min track with SH,D12,and Em? that shit would be the bomb! All the talent, Eminem, Crooked I, Royce Da 5'9, Proof(could use some old lyrics or unused stuff), Joe Budden, Joell Ortiz, Bizarre, Kuniva, Swifty McVay, Kon Artis. I mean, god damn, thats gotta be on everyones mind. a huge Shady Mix.

  • Royce on the rhymes, Ayatollah on the beats. Perfect.

  • Just know that GOD'S keeping you level... he'll even speak through the ghetto to reach you, just to teach you that the streets is the devil... everybody's design is different.. which means that we're dying by living, oblivious to the time that we're given -- REAL spits.

  • life is just a moment................trust 5'9 words........godfather of hip hop right now

  • one of the realest songs ever.... so many lyrics in here...... im not picky when it come to strong lyrics but i hate the hook on this....... easily overlook that tho because of the verses!!! wow

  • what's the original sample of this?

  • @aceillinois - 'Woman In Love' by Barbara Streisand

  • great song.. nothing but heart in this

  • this is what im talkin about. this song is the truth. "there will be trials and tribulations, but dont let them bring you down. you gotta keep going to your destination, after your darkest hour, the sun will come around." beautiful. RIP TIM forever in our hearts. always on our mind. one life, one love.

  • Good lyrics. Good Song

  • that is THE shit.. true song right there

  • @The00zexamator r u fucking retarded? if u would trade ur son for money than u should get knocked the fuck out. u r the dumbest piece of shit ever. he would never trade his life for 50's because 50 is ass now and royce is killin it....

    that should be enough for the moment...check those guys out if you want underground hip hop.

  • @Aykeybeatz

    110% witcha on every artist on that list.

    but are you sayin' royce aint dope?

    you can't be.

  • @Aykeybeatz thrue bro

  • @Aykeybeatz dude, seriously, Cunninlynguists's Kno is one of my favorite producers (and that Kentucky style of rappin is just so different!!!) not to mention Masta Ace is my favorite MC period. Good lookin man

  • @Aykeybeatz word

  • @Aykeybeatz krs-one is the farthest thing from underground lol

  • @Aykeybeatz a Forgot About Crooked I... But Its A Good List Do

  • @Aykeybeatz  add Aesop Rock

  • @Aykeybeatz you can cut out immortal technique since he wrote a song about raping his mom and he said iraq was a white peoples war. funny i didnt see him at the protests.

  • You wouldn't believe it hahah.

    It's Barbra Streisand - Woman in love

  • good call family

  • anyone knows what is this sampled from? The guitar in royce's verses is damn nice

  • If yall think real hip hop is still existin' than send me a message with some songs.. cuz all I hear is commercial bull sh*t!!

  • Look for muzic like:

    Blu Excile

    Dom Kennedy

    Charles Hamilton

    Slaughterhouse 4 life

    and much more, just be creative ;)shit on radio sucks, but hiphopstill lives man, onlyunder cover:p

  • Yeah.. thanks for the tip! Seriously... When snoop dogg head his song with the pussiycat dolls I said.. "OMFG!!!!" What happened to this world!?

  • what about snoop feat souljah boy lol

  • look up Uncommon Valor by Jedi Mind Tricks

  • @StixyStix

    i got sooooooo many underground artists for u son...what have u found so far...so i dont reccomend somethin youve heard already

  • Let me know all what you got.. cuz I need it :-P Got my club goin' and I need to make an underground night, and there will come some dudes who say they can rap, and i need some quality music also !

  • reflessive test

  • love this song, it literally saved my life

  • this is what hip hop is all about

  • "I don't care if this song don't sell one copy, it's not even what it's for, it's for you"

  • One of Royce's best songs for sure.

  • your some wasteman!!!! i bet u think 50 cent is one of the best rappers alive or some bullshit...dis is real hip hop....FUCK COMMERCIAL RAP!!!!! LIKE THEY SAY REAL HIP HOP IS NOT ON THE RADIO!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I really feel sorry for how stupid you are.

    Royce is way better then 50. If you want to talk about 50 go to a 50 song. If you don't like royce then what the fuck are you listening to him for.

  • If you knew anything, it's not about what you drive or what you got. When you love hip hop, and love what you do. it doesnt matter. you dont need shit like that to love what you do. Another thing, if you didnt notice, he basically says fuck you to people like you at the end of the song. he says that this song isn't for people like you. its for its real purpose, his son.

  • Thank You
