This is the perfect motivational song for a person who is depressed or one who is taking the negative route in life. One love to The Roots for puttin' out a joint that is as bangin' as it is influential. They're one group I bump to, all day, everyday.
Life's so difficult that at times what's best for all of us is to stop what we are doing at the moment and reflect back on all our accomplishments, our good deeds and achievements. Only then will we have a complete knowledge of who we are as people, as individuals, without turning our head towards the materialistic world, searching for something that's of no use nor value. "Dont lose what you have for what dont have." Best believe!
This joint goes out to all of those individuals who are constantly let down by others - one way or another - in how they aren't allowed to take a certain action or aren't good enough for something. Those that are continuously forced to execute an action for which there is no exit, a way out. Those that are told that the only way of ever reaching the top - especially by today's standards - is to degrade one's, own true character and take upon that of a thug, gangsta, pimp, killer or a hustla.
There nothing more beautiful than everyday people. Everyday people are the real stars. So from the bottom of my heart, keep shining. I thank The Roots crew for show where their heart lies and creating real music for real people. Thank You.
reality check= this is tru hip hop music. most of us go by how hard the beat is. listen to wat hip hop artists is sayN and myB it will influence u to do something purductive in your life. -LISTEN-THINK-AND ACT-
that's the life of many.. you should be a better person i can agree.. everyone should.. but you should also appreciate the people that love you and also what you have... the roots are from the soul defined by the streets...
Again the Universal Music Group, and their arrogant cockyness think they OWN this shit. Wont let us embed a video that they dont even own... FUCK THEM!
Much love to the Roots... organic hiphop at its finest!!!

I guess this is what Chris Rock was talking about. With songs like these you can defend rap music and the hip-hop movement

"Kids call theyself killers, let they hammers do the talkin',
Don't even know the meaning of life, ain't seen a thing,
And you dream of floodin' the scenery with, llello and greenery." - I think everybody should take a lesson or two off of those lines.
