  • This is Hark... :O)

  • @PoeticPrincess19 Ooooooooh!

    

  • im in love with his poetry

  • @TheRealPakkz Wow. Thank you. Where are you from?

  • @LamontCarey1 indiana

  • snapity snap

    

  • @HARKthePoet LOL

  • Yeah Monty! OMG... Chill bump... can anyone say Chills. Love it!

  • @PoeticPrincess19 LOL. Yay yay. Where are you from?

  • I wonder did kendrick lamar ask lamont to use this sample for his song. Isnt that some type of copyright infringement?

  • @monroe3323 :)

  • @monroe3323 Yes it is.

  • Opposite Attract- Kendrick Lamar he samples this poem and the song is one of my favorite

  • It made me cry cause I was in a situation almost like this n im glad I overcame that or this might have been my story

  • @mrzhamonibabie Yayyyyyyyyyyy! I am so proud of you for making it out of that situation! YEA!

  • Omg I love this poem everytime I hear this poem make me wanna cry

  • @mrzhamonibabie I'm torn. I want to say that I am sorry you cry after listening to this piece but than you say you love it!. Women so confuse me.

  • @mrzhamonibabie Please don't cry

  • Kendrick Lamar used this perfectly.

  • What I mean by potential is I can see past all his flaws and he is a good person. He doesn't have the best up bringing and I don't want to be like everyone else or like his own mother to leave him I want him to know everyone isn't against him. So as his girlfriend I stick around but lately he's been a lot better & I showed him this YouTube & he couldn't stop hugging me. So thank you again

  • @MsLeonalove congrats!

  • found this through Kendrick , fantastic

  • @linkwanab Thanks!

  • @lamontcarey1 thank you so much but there isn't any abuse yet it's just he's not the same person when I first met him he treats me good whenever he wants to and I k ow I deserve better but I just don't want to be alone nor leave him because I truly do see potential in him am I wrong for feeling that way??!

  • @MsLeonalove I can't tell you whether you're wrong or right but you said, "There isn't any abuse yet". Now that sounds like you expect it to come. That's not good if there is the potential. Being alone is not as bad as just feeling space with unrewarding relationships. In order to get what you want in life, you have to go after it. Potential? Tell me what that means to you? I hear it a lot. It's even been said about me but translate that for me so we can be on the same page.

  • Comment removed

  • After this I really need to ponder about my relationship this was to real !!

  • @MsLeonalove If there is abuse in it, you really should ponder. Your safety and happiness should be the foundation of your life and the relationship. If you have to ponder than you already feel there are issues. Go back to are your needs and wants being fulfilled. We become a union with others because this person adds value to our life. I want you to be happy and fulfilled. You deserve it.

  • that helps me fight to do so. She says she loves me. Love was the thing that keeps me alive. I knew what i wanted from love and she was slowly becoming another.

  • kendrick brought me here like most of yall.. my girl talks to other guys and has even gone to their homes, idk what she has done there or who she talks to. we've been together for a year and a half next month. We had an amazing meeting which binded me to her. i was as faithful as a husband in an afterschool special. Idk what she does, im 19. I've met the world at 16. Not through relationships but with my eyes and i know it's mine for the taking but i feel like she's that weapon clothes and armor

  • Simply amazing

  • @kypooh904boo Thank youuuu

  • I thought it was Martin Lawrence first time I heard it. but good poem. Thank you Kendrick Lamar

  • @Dbiggs1056 LOL. Wow. I sound like Martin? LOL

  • @LamontCarey1 swear u do. do they still do Def Jam Poetry? I thought u should've performed this piece on there, but wat u did perform on there was inspiring too, can't read but can play ball

  • @Dbiggs1056 No, it's no longer on tv. I would have performed this one or I hate this place but it wasn't my choice. Thanks! Glad you like this piece.

  • "She says she loves me, she says she loves me, so she claims to me even when I want to be left alone but she's beautiful like sometimes my head thinks on my mind she's the perfect girl to listen. she says she love me like when I wake up in the morning she sitting in the edge of the bed with a plate of food wanting to feed me she says she need me or like when I am stepping out of the shower she standing there with a towel wanting to dry me off.

  • @Joseph175th :)

  • I'm glad kendrick used this.

  • This got to me

  • @ADsupaTV I'm glad you enjoyed it!

  • Lamont you are the truth! Where are you performing in DC these days?

  • @blackpower9 on the Jan. 16th at THEARC on Mississippi ave, se. doors open at 9am

  • this was incredibly moving. like omg he is telling a story about the truth about what happens in relationships that are abusive and cant get out. i love this for all the women mothers sisters aunts daughters that are going through this do whats right but remember to always keep your head up

  • @Stasha1409 I agree.

  • @Stasha1409 Thank youuuu

  • This is deep and powerful. I wish I could express myself like this!

  • Swagg

  • damn, this is tight

  • @LamontCarey1 A Book !! What is it called ? I definitely will be buying one .it Is it a poetry book our more like an biography type book. Either way I'm still getting one.are you doing a book signing? If so please come to chicago we love you out here !

  • @monroe3323 LOL. Thanks for all the love. It is actually a fiction novel called, THE HILL. Go to my site: lamontcarey. com/apps/webstore and you will see it. The poetry book will be coming soon enough. I don't know about an autobiography. LOL. I have the CD out but hmmm

  • @LamontCarey1 dude totally relate to this. its fantastic with so much passion.

  • @lukejeter7 Thank youuuuu

  • @LamontCarey1 no problem!!

  • Thank yu n il start posting up stuff n do yu knw how to get it copyrighted

  • Thats wat I want to do but I have to leave my city for that because theres none in my city

  • @Tony951909 maybe you should post something on craigslist or here about you trying to connect with artist to furnish them beats or that you sell beats. On here u can give a few second samples but make sure your stuff is copyrighted

  • this is beautiful.

    i can't identify with the violent progression, but i feel like i can relate to the speaker's inability to love. it's like, he's so perplexed by her affectionate gestures, and he can't seem to accept them. or, even if he does open himself up to her affection, he winds up feeling overwhelmed and confused.

    i don't know, but i really like this.

  • @theycallmelonnie wow. great way to look at it. Where are you from?

  • @LamontCarey1 I'm from North Carolina. I've been listening to some Kendrick Lamar and that's how I found my way to your channel.

  • @theycallmelonnie hmmm. cool. well my website is my name. You can check me out there. I actually have a book coming out on Nov. 10th.

  • But I wana make music n work at my uncles shop still n a highschool baseball coach

  • @Tony951909 my suggestion is you should test the local talent to see if you can interest some of the artist. Look for open mics in your area. Go to them and network with some of the artist you like and see if you all can collab

  • I work 2 jobs already to support my beautiful girlfriend Brianna and me I work at a auto shop n auto zone but I also write music

  • I hope he didnt really hit her because I am going to get hella mad!!!

  • @niknakxnewz that's good thing that u would be angry about that!

  • @Ammmy03 where are you from?

  • Hi Lamont, I'm wring from London in the UK.  I have recently discovered (late I know) this spoken word poetry on YouTube and much of it just blows me away. I love words and the use of them and although I write short poems from time to time I'm inspired to take the time to do what I'm seeing here, take the time out to put a story or experience together in the way that I see this and other things done because when delivered it is so powerful! So please keep doing what you're doing...

  • @ihave2makeit Thank youuuuuuuuuu. Yes. Keep writing and I shall. I am trying to make connections there to tour. Hopefully, we will meet. Eitherway, lets keep intouch.
