  • This is one of the greatest songs ever made and definitely the best song wyclef ever made hands down.

  • id like to see the version from the movie showing the whole scene including the footage of the other inmates disapearing like ghosts. i lookd all over youtube and it just doesent exist here yet. if possible id like it to also included the last few sentances of the conversation before the scene begins with claude saying were in here for life ,we going to die here ray . and then the video would be complete.

  • @TheNecropolis20 that scene just makes me cry 

  • @TheAwesomeFM it macks me cry too ,but id still like to see that scene again i only seen that portion of the movie one other time and the ending of the movie in a hotel room when i was on vaction in minnisota a year and a half ago.and i live in ohio and i dont have cable in my house.

  • Life

  • @blakeVII, well said, @ ingridharrell, i agree with you

  • and dick up shit, from when you yet werent born

  • Those days were for real. Fighting for real things - civil rights, justice, off the back of slavery which had just passed out of living memory.

    NOW! it's all about, 'get rich or die tryin' WITHOUT ligitimately earning it!

    I'm not getting into arguments about HipHop poisening the minds of youth because that's what was said about black music some 50 years ago.

    I think, somewhere in time, the wrong 'path' was taken and it's gonna take a better mind than I posess to understand and articulate it.

  • @BlakeVII itz not the music its the kidz young and dum

  • this song....... I Believe that this song reaches into the hearts of all who listen to it... This Song Could Make anyone .... Feel Such emotion!

  • @DonC202 i agree with ya so much emotion when i first heard this song last october when watching this movie in my hotel room when i was on vaction and as soon as martin lawrence said "we gonna die here" i felt so bad. i cryed so hard. i cried for martin lawrence i cried for eddie murphey i cried for my self and i cried for my buddy ray that was taking me on that wonderful vaction that was fast asleep. i kept thinking we are all going to die here the earth is a prison for the human soul condition

  • How the hell could anyone dislike this?

  • This is one of the BEST SONGS and films EVER!!!!!!!!! It is more than just a film it also goes through the times of history.

  • This is one of those songs that hits home no matter what race you are....I'm from a blue collar white family and the line where he thanks his mom hits me like a punch in the stomach. So many people are struggling through life and the best thing anyone can do is keep their chin up and fight through.

  • great film, great soundtrack. all very underrated

  • great film, great sountrack. all very underrated

  • my eyes had water also when it came on in the movie life. some would say that a man that crys is weak. but I beg to differ cuz as a youngster growing up i had alot of anger & hatered with in me & violence was the way i let it out, till i learned that sheding a tier is ok. so true what it is saying cause life is what 1 makes of it. but it seems like a lot of people are choosing to jump off the cliff cause other people are doing it. if he wouldnt of been boot legging he wouldnt have got caught up

  • People, this song was written by wyclef way before the movie. This is a song from the 90's they just add it to the movie cause it fits perfectly with it.

  • Great track, I really really like it. 

  • chanson magnifique mais rend triste ... =)

  • This song is soo beautiful but when I see the video here it makes me sad. I knew a lot of good people. People come and people go. And things happen because they just do; that's life I guess. For some reason seeing this video makes me think where they are; are they doing okay? Will I ever see them again? They feel like ghosts to me but I know they're not. Sometimes I wish I could go back and do it all over agian. Life is full of suprises. One day everything will come together. God bless everyone!

  • sitting in class!!!!

  • this song is nuthin but real talk!

  • best song from the life movie ;)

  • Life

  • @nas12271 is what we make of it, the choice is yours. it takes a stronger person to say no then to get involved in the mix. believe me when 1 is locked up, your just like a dead person alive in a cage. cause your just a memorie.

  • This is a beautiful song and the clip fits perfectly.

    When some people scream 'I want my country back' they forget back wasn't great for many different people. Always strive to move things forward not backwards.

    Life is change, growth is optional. choose wisely

  • what a song man stop all ur shit comments and just listen fs 

  • wyclef goes off with this one, i love the way he captures what the movie life was about through this song. he was asked to write a song especially for the movie and after viewing the mountage figure this is what he came up with. he did a great job. i love the line look to the sun even though the darkness shall come.

  • @ijay22 same here. one of favorite songs of all times :-)

  • Where can I find this song for download!!? I cant find it on 4shared nor can I find it in iTunes. Please help.

  • MAN I love this song and how it shows all the historical injustices black people have gone through and still go through today. One day you will all pay for this i swear!

  • @M5IAN Don't hate my brother. If you do it will rule you and you end up doing what the oppressor did. We as a people have done our share of evil against each other, starting with: Tribal warfare in Africa that supported Arab and European slave trade, Black Muslims killing other Blacks in Nigeria and the Horn of Africa, Rwanda, Dafurr genocides, Black on Black crime in America, and the list goes on. Let's get our act together before we starting pointing the finger at those will always hates us.

  • This one's for all my people who are going through something. After all these years, this song still finds a way to inspire me to keep my head up!

  • très très bonne vidéo

  • This song is very underrated ...Baby Curtis Mayfield.

    

  • I LOVE THIS!!!

  • This is a great song. I'm 52; yet, this song reminds me of my childhood back in the hood. This song is brilliant!

  • This song reminds me in the movie Life of scene where what prisoners left and what prisoners stay.

    And how things changed in the movie life.

    Like the part of Martin Luther king ,John Kennedy,Jimi Hendrix,Neil Armstrong and Mohammed Ali

  • no matter how often I hear this song it's still as of today puts that little voice in the back of your mind that make you want to do better though taking it a day at a time. Also, giving you a actually image to invision while taking these small steps towards success.

  • This song fits the movie "Life" (1999) from Ted Demme. For anyone who likes watching Comedy & Drama Movies I recommend you watch this movie because from watching this movie made me realize life is a game worth to play.

  • @JaBBaWoCK1337 i agree with you

  • @JaBBaWoCK1337

    I think Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawerence did a good job playing in the movie Life.

    I also recommend this song for People this song for people who like this movie Life.

    I really like this movie Life.

  • amazing song!BIG UPS TO WYCLEF

  • what was the song "life oh oh life oh life" repeated over and over?

  • Life by Des'ree (spelling might be a little dodgy)

  • K-Ci & JoJo - Life

  • this movie is sad when this song plays because all the people they know are fading

  • The movie was so funny yet so true, I was so sad when the movie played this song cause cause there is a lot of people in jail black men white man all colors who are in jail for something they did no even do.

  • LIFE.

  • ty for posting this song i first heard it on the film and have tried to find it but i didnt know the name of it until now, wycliffe is a true musician not many of those around nowdays Respect.

  • Thanks for posting. I love this part of the movie Life.

  • This reminds me of Marvin Gayes, Whats going on? I dont know why but it does. Anyway both songs are GREAT

  • that is very NICE!!!! thanks for posting.

  • Most underrated song of all times.

  • @rico93924 not even close. but still an underrated song

  • I'm not a fan of Wyclef Jean but this song is niceee

  • btw who else was introduced to this song while watching the movie, LIFE with Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence?

  • i was

  • likewise, about a year ago...i figured it be a decent movie w/ Eddie Murphy and Bernie Mac...and at times Martin L. but this movie is way better than i would have ever guessed. this song definitely has one of the best arrangements i've ever heard.

  • i love that movie lol

  • Me 2 Bruh

  • ME TOO

  • me 2

  • @superdopetastic lol i seen itt onn lifee tooo

  • @superdopetastic yea, Life.

  • @superdopetastic same here! I don't usually like songs like this, but I found myself liking this a lot. Peace

  • @chhaylatte well, the director of the movie LIFE wanted Wyclef to write a song that Marvin Gaye could have done, and could show time passing. I think he did a great job, that song really stuck out

  • @sgtpepper1138 Wyclef realy captured the moment of wha twas going on in the movie.

  • Comment removed

  • @superdopetastic i was introduced to this song while watching the ending of that movie you speak of. i was in my hotel room out side of st.paul ,minnisota and i watched it for first time. the very first time i seen part of this movie was on movie day while i was in high school in the 1990's during clinton.

  • @superdopetastic lol! i cant lie....

  • @superdopetastic  i wassss

  • @superdopetastic i was superdopetastic, i love the movie and when i heard this song i feel even more in love with it. i love the montauge used to the song the images or striking and deep. wyclef reminds me of marvin gaye and bob marley blended together in this song and most of his music. i also love that he gave a shoot out to him mom.

  • @superdopetastic i was watchin it a few min ago
