[WhoahItsMusic]

He is so fucking cute.

[singasong222]

IK imma get hellla thumbs down, but in my opinion the 1st chaoter without Alicia Keys sounded better. Well, when she did her part with the "white rice and hiney line" only, then i would love it, but she jumped into the chorus and tat ruoned it for me.

[babydoll04011999]

yeah yeah good message to the video .Love dis vid

[angle2047]

luv this songg!!!

[JUJUBEAN1985]

i hate songs like this because it puts false hopes in peoples heads...

[possums101]

@JUJUBEAN1985 wow nice way to look a it SO POSSITIVE

[JUJUBEAN1985]

@possums101 Hey it is what it is

And it's "Positive"

[alwayzsinging]

@JUJUBEAN1985 I disagree...I think it's encouraging to know that people who lived under the same circumstances don't have to stay down. "We take it from the bottom to the top, baby..." It's a good message man!

[JUJUBEAN1985]

@alwayzsinging yea they mase it but who's to say these people who are in the same situation will ,ake it?

in this game it isn't about talent it's all about knowing the right people adn getting lucky...i personally know people who sing,dance,rap all that BETTER than some people who are in teh game now and unless they happen to meet someone who is able to give them a break their going to stay signing and rapping at their church and in their hoods...

[alwayzsinging]

@JUJUBEAN1985 Yeah I'm not saying that's not true. The business has a lot to do with luck but these just happen to be two people who got lucky and are able to tell their stories like this! And trust, it's better to hear it from someone who's actually been through hell, than from someone who just wants to sing about it. Just like these artists, so I say again, it's great song :)

But you have your own opinion and I see where you coming from :)

[JUJUBEAN1985]

@alwayzsinging i like the song too

don't get it twisted...lls

im just saying i don't like when people listen to this and automatically think i can do this too and think it's going to be easy...

[jafericangirl]

ya mon!!!!!!!!!!!!!! de gyal dey can dance lol<<< thats some Jamaican! I LOVE THIS SONG!

I remember those days remember those days when i went to bed hungry all i ever ate was white rice & honey ...big dreams in my head empty my tummy MIGHT CRACK A SMILE BUT AINT NOTHIN FUNNY!

[1kendralove]

[iriejah100]

[aunaturalegurl]

@da360tornado, Alicia Keys is biracial and I believe her mom is white and her father is Jamaican.. that's why the little girl's mother is white in this video.

[HardBodyNyC]

Her father is American. Like Michael Jordan...

[Morgy09]

@aunaturalegurl thats Alica Keys' mom playing the mom in the video.

[booboo939]

@aunaturalegurl Yup, 

[da360tornado]
