[bettyboop33g]

I have heard better then this . I know what is music , and he could do better then this .

[bettyboop33g]

I have heard better then this .

[23Mogreene]

the nineteen ppl who dislike this, don't have no respect for real music period.

[nikambard]

You guys are just not realizing this.  This song has been around for a good while.

[belladonna1999]

they really broke  the mold when they made will...his positivity is and sensitivity is what the world needs a lot more of

[miwitix]

la parte del wall trade center es demaciado tremenda se me aguaron los ojos...que energia tan bonita tiene esta cancion....

[hpgirl94]

he need to make more music



[londontopboy]

This is real music with a meaning and a message not this 50 shit, Gay z, Crappy eminem, Kanye mess, etc...

[bugzak47]

@londontopboy have u heard jay-z & eminem - renegade. or eminem - white america or eminem - sing for the moment. what are u talking about

[rtardedvideos]

This song reminds me of why i loved will smith when i was younger and still do. I love the emotion he put in to this song and how he is talking about real stuff. He is a very talented man and I wish he would make more music.

[sameerrajakumar]

Good rap without cussing and singing about drugs , alcohol or other bad stuff and the song is awesome.

[Lissa2548]

Will Smith is just one of those men that you have to respect no matter what, he lives his life in a way that no one can dog on. He is someone I'd like to meet just to shake his hand and tell him how much he has inspired me over the years, Just thank him over all. God Bless him and his family!

[krika1032]

eu adoro o will smith.ele e tudo de bom.e essa música ficou demais.

[Biggame1190RAMS]

19 people are Lil Wayne Fans

[Yioop]

Funny...

[arkumfinest]

will inspires everybody to a certain level. most rappers are too scared to rap about stuff like this because they are not as open minded or don't care about things like that. if its not money cars hoes diamonds and big houses its nothing.

[zikiya1973]

Wow, Will Smith flow is nice

[iluvthatstupidbeanie]

The first time i heard this song, i cried my eyes out. Will Smith inspired me in my music to this day

[krimolo]

People seem to be surprised of The Fresh Prince's skills, but do not forget that he started his career as a rapper, and that he even won Grammy Awards for Rap Performances.

[ShekkieShabbazz]

@krimolo The FIRST ever rap grammy

[maryetta1979]

I love Will Smith!His films and his songs!

[trsdim]

LOVE IT... his skills are taken to a whole 'nother level here

[trsdim]

LOVE IT.. his skills are on a whole 'nother level here

[martinizukini]

it sounds just like the studio version, not many artists can do that.

[CrimsonRain11]

And this is one of the many reasons why I love Will Smith. This song is real.

[davekeays]

I watch this song at least once a week. I haven't gotten tired of it and I doubt if I ever will.

[splwizrd1092]

i love how Will Smith doesn't make inappropriate music and doesn't play bad guys when he acts. makes him THAT much better :D

[OliveYouBabyGirl1]

I Got Goosebumps All Over Listening To This For The First Time. Its Sweet!!

[SnickersBMTH]

they have very good pitch

[alexisrg7]

Rappers need to make more songs like this and less talking about how rich and how big ballers they are, that isn't relatable its just bullshit!  This is real music.

[cool3nc]

one of the best songs i ever heard.

[thestaydown]

I LOVE MJB!!!!

[SirWokenDemon]

you can see and hear he means every word he's saying for the entertaining he usually does when he's rapping sort of goes away, but he's putting everything in his voice, especially at the part of 'tell me why did ...'

[Entrena100]

adoro esta canción!!!!

[blistershot]

df he cuss in his movies but not in his raps



[ogBLOODog]

@blistershot It's called acting. His raps are him being him.

[onurstarlol]

No wonder he plays in i am legend pfff he really is :D

[beastSkint65]

THis song is kick ass, Will needs a new Album

[chiessza]

BEAUTIFUL PERSON ;D

[0504322806]

ur the best will

[SsaygoodbayY]

deep lyrics! Will is very talented person,

He must make a new album:)

[leonbosman38]

that rap , the real stuff!

[Reezer83]

well she knew most of the people that died.

[Isolation00]

I love Will Smith because he talk about real life stuff not sex, and love with in sexual desire like 50 cent, Lil Wayne, and them others.

[maty1a]

Perfect , he is really legend :-)

[12815923]

any one else think he sounds a little like eminem in the beginning of the third verse

[daud111]

u only think that coz he lowerd his voice eminem tends to do that alot when he is saying something important

[DanyellxChase]

This song explains life. <3

[sdotofqns]

I never knew they made this song together. i love the collab. LOVE IS BEAUTIFUL.

[NammerzX]

aww mary is crying...

thats a good song if it can make it's singers cry ...

[ThePinkSpork]

gay little will smith and his gay little clean songs

[sameerrajakumar]

superb song

[tierrasc]

[lellisla08]

illmatic!!!!

[emo3naruto]

DEEEP! LYRICS TO. Big Will shows skiilz here.

[k0alabrade]

i love this song but "i wish i made that is still my favorite"

[maipigenDK]

This song must be the only one I've ever heard Will curse in.

but off course the subject matter is serious.

love this song

[jamariion]

truly amazing

[bradlie01]

i love this songg and this song is true he such a good role model for his rapping.

I love how he does a little bit of everything like he dooes action movie drama comedy when he dies hes going to be rember forever

[goldnsifer666]

this is one of the best songs ever its not based on drug, and girls its pourfoul and moviln song it opend my eyes to a noo world

[lilkamer]

y did he start like luda in runaway love "and this song goes a little something like...." ?

[juniorgerrard09]

powerful hard hitting song cant believe i didnt get that much publicity!

[ophelia724]

Because Positive anything dont sell!

[Dahrol]

and that's what's wrong with society today.

[turner03122]

@ophelia724 True...it seems in Hip-Hop mainly if album is mainly positive, it doesn't get as much PR as albums that are just the opposite

[inuko101]

But why did he decide not to make another album anyway

[inuko101]

I love this song and will smith's music, and i agree he needs to come back with another album because i think that he is a very talented artist and he makes good music without really having to cus or talk about smoking and shooting ppl or bringing women down

[TFMANIAC]

You're right about him keeping the music clean but amazing!

[ReeferBuddy]

@inuko101 yeh but have you thought about the fact that a true artist expresses whats inside him/her. Not everything is glitter and gold, there's hatred, murder and alot of cussin. Thats what a true artists expresses and he;'s not afraid of what he looks like in the media. Do you have any idea why will smith makes so much money, like 20 million per movie. Because he's the golden boy of the media. all his records movies etc can be watched by people of all ages, and thats how he makes millions.

[samuelthorton09]

@inuko101 I highly agree with you!! i have been waiting for years for him to release a new album...He would kill on the charts if he came back...

[Lotusblossom2]

Yo Homeboy. Yo Mary. Well done.

[Dramamagnet202]

What a powerful, meaningful song by will smith. I cant stop singing it now :D

[ICANDIGUOUT]

Mary looks soo beautiful...in every way! Luv her vocals on this!

[ICANDIGUOUT]

Neva knew about this...cool!  Luv both of 'em!

[natanfalbo]

omg... !!!

[floliness]

hallo

[SuperBlindguy]

very funny song....hilaaarious....they crack me up all the time.....

I wanna thank God for...everything....dig that, mutha

---Jump for jesus---

[EDoc111]

it funny how people try to doubt god but then when they need something they turn to him but is afriad t let other people know the believe in him

[davekeays]

If you want more rap that is more than glorifying sex and violence try;

2pacs "Brenda's got a baby" and "ghetto gospel"

Ludacris' "runaway love"

Eminem "mocking bird"

While you're at it, read 2pac's poetry on "The Rose that grew out of concrete"

@Darth; I don't think it was said that WS is the only person to win an OSCAR for rap, but the first to do it.

[ChosenOrtiz]

I miss Will Smith rapping....we need more positive figures in hip hop right now!!

[Codyc19]

Tobymac has improved greatly! Check him out!

[jabari27]

116 clique

[KING1813]

will smith needs to come out wit another album. even if its his last one. and they should make it a big deal.

[TheRascalflatts01]

will smith and jay master jay are proply the best most role modle for childern nut sadly jay master jay has died R.I.P and will smith is a hero to so many ppl

[SteelCitiesFinest]

It's funny how on the album that this song was put on Will Smith hit out at Eminem.

But.. then ironically enough this Eminem-esque song turns out to be the song Will Smith ever produced.

[jcenarock]

be the song will smith ever produced?

[SteelCitiesFinest]

Uh, yeah that's what I said.

[jcenarock]

yeah i dont understand the grammar

best song will smith ever produced? its ironically the what ?

[SteelCitiesFinest]

I don't get what your saying. You want me to explain what I meant? Do you not know what irony is? It's just weird how when Will Smith took a shot at Eminem on the album the best song ON the album turned out to be this one - and it's very like something Eminem would make. You rarely ever hear a sentimental, touching, angry track like this from Will Smith who's usually very happy go lucky. See what I mean?

[jcenarock]

yeah but you didnt say it was the best song he produced. You just said "the eminem-esque song turns out to be the song will smith produced."

[SteelCitiesFinest]

Oh lol well then that was a typo.

[1XtraAndyg]

thought the first one remixed twinkle twinkle little star omg im a fooking star would mix good big up yourself nuff respect

[badboysal1]

1st rapper to win an oscar for his art.......bad boy for life!!

[thegreatyi]

Will Smith never won an oscar.... He was nominated for his performance in Ali... Eminem is the only rapper who had won an oscar - best soundtrack - 8 mile

[DarthHemis]

Eminem won an Oscar for his music in 8 mile.

Not for acting talent.

Also he isn't the only rapper to win an Oscar.

36 mafia won an Oscar for Best Song.

Just like Eminem.

[MsPayne77]

why can't all raps be like this, it's so powerful and honest and spine tingling.

i think that if kids listen to this kinda stuff then they will grow up trying to change the world, stopping the horrible things mentioned in the song from happening. I think other rappers should cut out the crap about drugs, sex and money and follow wills example

I LOVE YOU WILL!!!!!

xx

[TheWhiteMonkey1]

I completely agree with you, fortunately I'm one of those kids that listen to Will's rapping and hoping to change the world lol. Just there isn't much one guy can do, but I'll still do everything I can.

Other rappers do need to cut out all the shit about drugs and sex and stuff, it gets really old and emphasizes that those things are better than freedom and life and peace for our fellow humans, which is the saddest thing of all, they have the power to change the world but don't...

[MsPayne77]

your right it is sad but i have to ask you, why do you say theres not much one man can do? isn't martin luther king one man? it just takes one person with an idea & the determination to make that idea reality. what i hate about the world and what frightens me is that people turn a blind eye to all the horrible things that are happening. it scares me, how cruel humans can be. so THANK YOU everyone out there trying to make a difference, and proving to me that humanity is not completely heartless.

[Hiram210]

Will Smith will always be one of the trueBest rapers ever!!!

his words are true and powerful

this is true rap

none of this new stufff

i always ask were has rap gon to

[Tjejenmedallt]

If you lisen really good to the word will and

Mary J wont to say to the world is amzing...It tears me up !...we do things that we could never and ever explane.. why !..

[lurchthing]

1 word....powerful

[sarcii88]

i love you Will Smith....alwaysss..

[alextijoco]

[ohsokaila]

This song is so deep. I wish people still sung like this. Without all of the drugs and sex crap.... he so talented is almost freakish.

[Xxmizz2FreshxX]

[nickalbano222]

[MsJahmil1]

[nickalbano222]

thanks man finally somebody realize my opinion is not crazy

[smbridge]

KalbAunt... he did.... about 4 years ago on 'Lost and Found'. Deepest album he ever did... I hope he follows up with something 'fresh' (get it? Haha).

[KALBAunt]

Wow this performance was sooo real...I never heard this song b4.. he shouldve came out wit this...This was deep.... The way they were set up on stage and both of them were in their own lil worlds wit their eyes closed yet they were still touchin everybody... Niccccccceeee!! p.s.

[damien1100]

[Sumfera]

[actfly01]

You have to love a song that tells the TRUTH. Will Smith has always stayed true to what he believes. In his own words at an award show,

IT JUST PROVES YOU DONT HAVE TO CUSS, CALL WOMEN BITCHES OR SELL DRUGS OR KILL SOME ONE TO MAKE GOOD MUSIC

[smsmyf1]

I Agree

[allthetimerap]

[909part2]

[Kram808]

Will Smith is seriously 1 of the Best Rappers I heard he looks intresting when he preforms live some rappers Make really good songs but when they preform live it's Crap Will actually sounds exactly how he did on the CD and that so Cool the fact that he doesn't Swear doesn't mean he isn't a legit MC If u can't C the fact that Will is a Tru MC then U Don't Know HIP HOP...

[Johnson17037]

[hollywood124698]

[ariess2019]

one of the greatest song in hip-hop...lyrics are so true and deep

[Nexwert]

Playback?? Buuuuuuuuuh

[harveyisgod1]

too good too true

[gryd999]

omg, what a song. Will is the greatest rapper ever

[jcenarock]

Will smith is can rap. Lyrically talented and can really rock the mic.. The fact that he doesnt use "explicit" swears and he doesn't talk crap like half the modern rappers...

I have a lot of respect for him.. and kinda sad that he quit the music buissness

[LockCoal]

The rest of the rappers on earth should be trying to sound like this--they'd be better off.
