My english teacher played this song for my Pride(at my school we used pride instead of class). It was also played at my graduation. It reminds me and my classmates that even though we are going off to college we all have a special place in each others hearts. We have been through a lot but we will always be 2011. A Pride. A Class. A Family.
Im reading all the comments on this video while listening to this song it breaks my heart to see all this sadness and loss im actually crying :( keep your heads up guys and be strong R.I.P to everyone all of us have ever lost <3
his new album is a little too mainstream sounding. even lupe himself said it. but, that being said, songs like this and words i never said are some of his best.
My friend got shot cause some kids thought he was in a gang. i remember when we were little playing baseball, football, and every sport known to man. We hung out every day when we were little knowing i'll never see him again breaks my heart and this song says take me back to that place.
like for real pple dont like this song :S i mean it has everything GREAT DEEP lyrics sick beat and great hook lmao wow pple these days huh what a shame
@Tehmutednoob I wouldn't get your hopes up. The best music almost always gets overlooked and some shit song makes number 1. But maybe, they do get it right sometimes.
if your one of the few remaining fans of real music with meaningful lyrics and clever wordplay i suggest checking out our channel our intent isnt to annoy or spam but simply to get heard so plz check us out trust me its worth it and if u like what u hear which u probably will make sure and SUB!!!! its greatly appreciated!
Cousin died a few weeks before my bday and several months before his 18th. Brings me a sense of hope. Love this lyric "We put you in the ground, but I see you in the stars."
my dad died around the time this song was released....everytime i listen to it it takes me to that time....very beautiful song ....ill never forget this song.
I'm an up and coming rapper, who wants to get his name out. However so far people haven't been viewing my shit. I want to get my name out. I hope that you guys can thumb this up so people can see my name
I don't know why people are talking about "hurr I want lupe to do his super lyrical shit" he is, and always will. I don't see why the man can't release a couple uplifting songs too?
damn, you've all sucked me for about a month. I didn't mean it like that. I want Lupe to make money, but like.. there's no problem leaving music on youtube, that one dude that I responded to said to delete this song.
I want to hear Lupe's songs, and I want to hear them on youtube, just cause I can find them for free, doesn't mean I won't buy Lasers, cause I'm gonna. that's what I mean, you 5 who responded to me, are retarded.
should have made the song about a girl...not his past in the projects. It would have been a better single that way. But i guess you rap about what you know.
@withoutacare129 then it would just another love song/rap. leave those to drake(not that im hating on him cus he's good at that). the song is a lot deeper being about his life in the projects in my opinion.
@afcweswarrior ok to say that is disproving your first statement of your being a HUGE lupe fan. I also consider myself one of lupe's biggest fans, and fairly a conscious person, but this was a tribute to Lupe's dad. And the lyrical depth of it may be lacking, but it's overall one of my favorite Lupe songs as of recent. How could Lupe not like it, when he wrote it, and when you think about it, there's nothing about it influenced by the label. "Lu, we want you to make a song about your dead dad."
