[clearsight2020]

eshon raps with a passion a flow that is very different from most Christian artists. Good stuff

[JAJACITY]

Should we keep doing more things that dont Glory GOD?

τσαρλυδες αμερικανοι!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JMGspeaks]

I find it amazing 6 months later everybody still just wanna talk about his car that pretty tired homies....I don't think he would floss if the first line was"I just feel like we could do better with our resource". I just find it really sad that people alot of the time nowadays don't listen to the music closely and want to judge. and even if it was his car who cares just pray for him email him or something and let's talk about something else. As if having a nice car were an impardonable sin.

[jdmmic]

he got the car for the video.. because the bently logo has the wings. it matches the song when he makes his hands like a airplane :)

[imarquez4224]

Really I can't believe most of the comments are about the whip ...it's a video first off and need to more interested in the content. Eshon is a blessed emcee.

[XxDWillxX]

i bet he rented that bentley... just sayin

[JMGspeaks]

@XxDWillxX so what does that mean? it's a quarter million dollar car not a big suprize if he did. it's just part of the video illustarting a point

[AsomughaCaleb]

I love this!

[PastorTrue93]

The lyrics are crazy..ive never heard nothin like this

[Jay2Blessd]

i want that S&N hat yo!

[squeezewilson9]

This dude is a true lyricist all day

[TerenceWall27]

Before you say Eshon is abusing his money remember King Solomon. If he was alive today and his riches were calculated he would still be the richest man in the world. He put God first and God blessed him with more wealth than he could fathom. Who is to say Eshon has not placed God first? But if you wonder about guys like Paul and John the Baptist it is quite simple. They felt called to live a simple life and had no desire for riches. Riches are not a bad thing if we remember who they come from.

[GOODLOOKmultimedia]

Follow eshon burgundy @burgaking on twitter!!!

[13greenz]

plz brothers and sisters let us not judge by appearance its all about the heart. christians can have nice stuff if they want too. "He who judges will himself be judged" instead of worrying about him having a car in the video lets point to the lost ppl to rappers like eshon eye. God Bless brothers and sisters

[TNAguy2000]

So if Eshon had a Vauxhall he would be more Holy ?

[JusThoughtZ]

lol...He might've gotten the Bentley on craigslist...who knows?

[jvilleindian]

For those that are wondering this chorus is from Air Supply's song "Sweet Dreams" an Australian duo from the 80's, surprised they wouldn't give credit to them...

[NumberOneCollegeFan]

@jvilleindian Look in the tags, Air Supply is in the tags, they did give them credit.

[janeaka1]

Can anyone please tell me what the chorus says? All I know is "close your eyes I want to ride the skies..." lol but overall this song is awesome :)

[Kimbrock85]

@janeaka1 the chorus goes "close your eyes I want to ride the skies in my sweet dreams"

[janeaka1]

@Kimbrock85 thanks!!!

[liquido2]

Yo, I'm trying to remember the part in the bible where Jesus said driving a bentley was a sin. Anyways, that guy solomon who wrote proverbs and stuff, yeah he was the richest guy in the world. Remember Job, he was mad rich and if he lived today would probably own a hundred bentleys. Incredible men of God.

The only time material stuff becomes sin is if you put it before God. That said if your spending more time on facebook, twitter, or youtube than you are with God, then it's you who's in sin

[JMGspeaks]

So unless yall goin be the first to sell everything I mean EVERTHING and go live in a tin hut on canned foods I think we all need to keep it real. I'm not saying we shoudln't have balance we should but people get out of wack. Who cares what car somebody has they not YOU will stand before God and be judged peace

[JMGspeaks]

Every car is expensive whether its 12k or 100k it's expensive...

And if you live in USA your in the op 10% financially of the world automatic no matter if your rich by american standards most of the world doesn't even have tables to eat on most of the world is poor reaaal poor.

So it sounds humble to say abstain from nice things or give it all to the poor. But in reality most of us could do without almost everything in our houses.. Your IPOD's the computer you used to get on here...

[DavidsHarpMusic]

Eshon GOES IN on this song. His music is so deep and from the heart it makes you want to pick up a pen and starting writing down rhymes

[noremorse126]

I dont even remember what i said before about this vid, but what i said was stupid... Judgement starts in each individual, including me... I'll tell you all i need Gods help for sure, because my flesh is weak and sinful..., when you actually listen to the song, and not concentrate on what is in the video, it is sound

[JMGspeaks]

@noremorse126 what else is in the video besides a few seconds of a nice car?

[ciny23]

Too good for the radio....

[EyewitnessMedia]

I wonder if this is a subminal diss shot at Pusha T's vid "Open your eyes" produced by my close and personal friend Nottz Raw?? Just wondering because if you know Bizzle, then you know Christian rappers are going in on secular cats nowadays.

[atosh76]

@EyewitnessMedia

A diss?? No way. We know Nottz, Dilla, Black Milk, etc.... Respect to all those catz.

But this is the one and only Eshon Burgundy who always opens every track with the word "Salute" which is his way of showing respect to the street. He has his own production team.

This guy's been around since 2006/2007, with great videos and sound music.

[EyewitnessMedia]

@atosh76 I didn't say he was dissing against Nottz or Dilla or whoever, I was asking about Pusha T...Pusha has a song entitled "Open Your Eyes" which was produced by Nottz....open your eyes....close your eyes???? Ya know, no biggie, not trying to stir up anything just conversational piece. I been up on Eshon for a minute too my dude, he's not new obviously, I keep my ear to the street concerning real hip hop wether Christian or secular and I have been a fan of his.

[apayton08]

god never said we couldnt have nice things he just wants to be first no matter what...i want a lambo personally but i wanna pursue him more than i want that lambo...we dont have to be broke christians just dont make those things (cars clothes money) our idols

[JMGspeaks]

@mrskywalkerr Typical response no offense did anyone here consider for a second that he either just rented it for the video or that a friend lent it him for the video. I love how everyone assumes automatic he's got the cash for Bentely....Annnnd the first line from the song is "I just think we could do better with our resources" did you consider he might have been using it as part of the video showing a Bentely in the hood in Compton to send a message with his opening line

[atosh76]

THIS RAPPER IS TOO HARDCORE!!!!! Period!

[EyewitnessMedia]

@atosh76 "Hardcore" in a good way or bad??

[atosh76]

@EyewitnessMedia

in a good way of course. the lyrics, the flow, the realness!!!

and that sound is crazy.

[pastorcomics]

Wow who was hater who voted dislike?...lol ... keep grinding Eshon! ... respect!

[CMPerceptions]

Beautiful song...glorifying the most beautiful Being EVER...Hallelujah

[cliftonmeans]

He said if ford made a car with wings, he'd use it...just appreciate the creativity people...this is great musicianship and worship

[cliftonmeans]

Eshon made it clear that the bentley was used because the wings on the emblem reflect the concept of the video which is 'flying'; 'those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles'

[InvisibleRap]

Eshon this song is hot!!! Keep goin hard man. God Bless, RJ

[JMGspeaks]

the funny thing is that he didn't come off as flossing. before you hate might wanna consider the first lyric of the song is "I just thing we could do better with our resources" so it's likely the bentley is part of the lyrics point. I've never seen Eshon floss ever in the years I've heard and seen him.

[tlthamesfoc]

this song is amazing! best lyricism style I've ever heard and the production of this song is far beyond our time.

[rawcitiemusic]

Dopest video of the year!

[TheReallyrealtalk]

some of you ppl need to wake up who care if he have a bentley or not? Great song!!!! do ya research on him dude is the truth god bless you fam!!! keep dropping that real1

[trickytree2]

This beat is some next level production

[KingdomSwag1]

@trickytree2 Thanks bro Follow @ProdbyBMII

[DJDStackz]

This song is fire!! Keep doin yo thang Eshon! Bless!

[747kolossal]

you did it ,once again !! may the lord bless you brother , warriors for christ never quit !!!!

[lexadoma]

get a steady cam

[KingdomSwag1]

@lexadoma Lol the cam isnt steady for a reason, it was shot like that purposely

[tlthamesfoc]

@KingdomSwag1 lol that is hilarious

[djwill]

Love the video & the bently! Should have been driving u around,lol.

[discipleg3]

Where's the replay button?!...oh wait there it is! found it!

[j01288]

I come back to look at the video,only to find out that you all are arguing over the bentley??? -____-

[godzsun]

I LOVE THIS SONG.. I LOVE THIS VIDEO,I LOVE THAT BENTLEY,I LOVE GOD!!

[godzsun]

He says in the first line that he "Feels like we could do better with our resources.." The Bentley is a symbol of how hood cats are spending their resources and investing their energies. That money on my mind mentality is being represented by the car, but I think he's juxtaposing vanity and poverty! Quiet your mouths about the car ..Just lift you hand in worship and bring fame to the God that he's boasting about!

[MrJudahPraise]

@godzsun Amen, plus the fact that he shot the video in a slum in Compton. Its an expression on how people do so hard look nice on the outside, but the their lives are like ghettos. It doesnt fit. Amen brother good word.

[FreedomMusicGrouP]

Good look for the West! Sounds a lil like Kendrick? But a lil grittier...very nice though.

[Tip116YFS]

This is a perfect example of how God changes the inside of us, thoughts and visions.

If you mute the song and watch the video, whats it look like? add the words and its the oppisite of what you probly thought

[JoyfulJocy]

PRAISE GOD!!!!

[TNAguy2000]

This is gettin stupidly annoying now. Its just a CAARRRRR.

For the conscience that is still burning- directly YHWH owns the "EvIL Bentlry", cos he owns ALL (that includes EVERYTHING - Litterally!!!!!!!) From the Ford concept, to the dudes life who created the Bentley brand- its all Gods property- we just borrow his tiniest after thoughts when he permits and wants it introduced in history.

What would be a "Holy" choice of car, please suggest? (LOoooL)

God help us

[KingdomSwag1]

Any Christian artists looking for tracks, BMII Made this beat

Check his twitter - @prodbyBMII 

[KingdomSwag1]

For those saying, hes Christian he shouldnt be driving a bentley, or have a bentley in the video...... Directly from Burgs twitter

"Song is abt flyin/bentley has wings on it/that's why it's n the vid/find a ford w/ wngs n i'll use it nxtime #closeyoureyes

[KingdomSwag1]

The Samples Saying Close Your Eyes i want to ride the skies in my Sweet Dreams.....

[KingdomSwag1]

For those saying Dont conform to the ways of this world our music should be different. Do You think someone whos not saved can relate to a verse on a track full of scripture ?

[cory1683]

@silver1679 so true fam..

[bvfoisiafambam]

what does the hook part say?

[ExHarlot]

.........Man did yall hear all the truth he just spoke!!!! This is dope!!!

[Nazreth7]

People need to stop tripping off OTHERS. WORRY about YOURSELF. and YOUR family. God did NOT call YOU to JUDGE OTHERS. Yall need to learn to JUDGE by the SPIRIT. NOT the FLESH. Yall self proclaimed Christians can't get past the flesh. Just because we are Christians doesnt mean we can be blessed financially. HEAVENS streets are paved with GOLD. God didnt set anyone out there to be BROKE. We make HIM our ONE and the rest falls INTO place. I.E. Money, Family, Life, Food, Work.

[demetriusmurch]

@Nazreth7 Well said. Amen



[crowelbr]

@Nazreth7 Nah family we just have to make sure that we do not stumble anyone by our life style. our model of how to live a life that is pleasing to God is following Jesus Christ example! he is the one and only one that pleased God! WE can not change the word of God and interpret it to mean what we want it to. A Christians judgement is not one that leads to condemnation but unto righteousness, which is right living!. God is the only judge of the heart.

[Soloraj1]

When are we going to stop judging others, hello!!!, we are Christians, we are suppose to show love to our fellow bros/sis, moreover before commenting lets do a check on the background that would avoid unwanted arguments..world needs love and they should see love even through the way we conduct ourselves, that includes are commenting.

[mizzcashmoney1]

I'd much rather to see Eshon with a Bentley than those secular artists like Rick Ross.

[TNAguy2000]

This is some hard juice from the Burgaking> pure art.

And if you don't understand the Bentley in the hood and the reasons it in the video- he's left his twitter up there so holla at him and find out.

Aside from that the verbal Moss-burg has delivered another piece of medicine to the saints in the hood by the Gods grace

In the same vein thank YHWH we aint all the same but collectively 1 body

[cory1683]

Man 200 bars is all scripture....that joint go hard! 1 of my fav burg joints!

[BigJohnMic]

I'm guessing most don't know... but Eshon definitely puts it down for the Lord Jesus Christ. I hope people actually dig into the lyrics and lay off the judgment. If nothing else, check out his song "The Evidence of Things Not Seen (200 Bars)"... then ask yourself what he stands for. Be encouraged, Burg. Keep letting the Lord use you.

[cory1683]

No diss 2 n e body...he just reaches different people.

[cory1683]

If u pay attention the word is all n it. Come on people! Everybody aint lecrae or shai linne....dudes stayin n his lane. Keep doin ya thang 4 da lord burg!

[Silver6719]

@cory1683 "Everybody ain't Lecrae or Shai linne" Nice! That's what I always say when people hate on dudes who don't sound "Christian" according the them!

[noremorse126]

And maybe i have a wrong opinion too, because i don't know this guy and what hes been through, or what God has done for him. I am just confused with this video. Anyways God bless y'all, stay strong brethren

[Silver6719]

This is by far one of the dopest video/music I've heard from Rapzilla!

[TheD1renegade]

Yea this a dope video right here. I've definitely become a fan of Eshon Burgundy lately, musically and directing.

[noremorse126]

I am not feeling this at all.......... Not hating because you're coming out of a bentley.. but cmon lol. God Bless ya man

[TheD1renegade]

@noremorse126 Im pretty sure the fact that he comes out of a bentley is definitely a reason why you're not feeling this.

[noremorse126]

@TheD1renegade Acutally it is... It confuses me very much... Plus where is Gods word in this? Straight up, We're supposed to transform this world, not conform too it. I am not hating him because he's driving a bentley... Honestly it makes no sense to me.... at all.

[mizzcashmoney1]

@noremorse126 He's not conforming...if he was then he'd be cursing on his tracks talking about money, women, fame and not spreading the gospel thru his music...but he is. Just listen to the lyrics and listen to his other songs as well.

[batesblazin]

Praise God....WOW!!!!!JUST WOW

[BigTashia]

A Bently in the hood???? What is this video about?

[Tycoon15]

GRP FLY....YA HEAERD

[stefan2182]

"I'm blessed I get to carry 'round these heavy wings." Amen!
