  • this is different

  • Saw him live in Lancaster last night, amazing and humble artist, i can relate so much to his songs right now and this has to be my favourite.

  • i watched him live in nottingham last tuesday, he was incredible, i also got the chance to meet Obaro (Ghostpoet) and the band members. can't say I've ever met a more humble and appreciative artist. Thank god musicians like this exist!

  • Is everyone piss or high when watching this vid? Comment's are fucked up ha.

  • Its moments when you find an artist like this that you feel re-inspired about life.

  • This song is helping me cope with the abundance of work I have piled up at college and the stress associated with it. I'm even using the song in a project so that my tutors listen to it and perhaps understand exactly where I'm coming from. Brilliant song.

  • just too DEEP this is REAL life. no more no less. and for this guy to explain it so beautifully, well makes you wanna live on, fight on through the toughest battles that life delivers on a daily basis. wisdom & heart, the things great music is made from..

  • still get goosebumps when i hear this.

  • quality, i fell in love with ghostpoet due to Q magazine

  • increible!!!me encanta.

  • Im kinda outraged this doesnt have so many views, he definetly deserves them :/

  • What is that thing at the end is it suppose to be death following????????

  • wow, i entered a whole new rap realm, through youtube <3

  • this is too good

  • i genuinely have the urge to punch people who say he is shit

  • @MrMattCarter

    You react the same when girls say it about you?

  • @MrMattCarter respect other peoples opinios

  • met this guy the other day, he's really humble. cool dude

  • In some strange way this one reminds me with music line and atmosphere Wyclef Jean Gone Till November and Mos Def Umi Says with conveyance and overall positive feeling.

  • @KCD014 Na it's a lyric in the song man

  • i just wanna live life and survive it

  • Finally, an english response to Buck 65

  • I know every word :/

    no no no no no no no

    aint got a license to kill like double O

    I just wanna live life n survive it

    that one?

  • good tune but in my opinion their acoustic version is far better you should check it out before you judge me.

  • house coats & coffee, I dig.

  • wow what have i just sumbled upon love the simple tone x

  • Good tunes, cuppatea. All you need really.

  • @TheCrankyDuck lol that was funny, and someone would say that's true, but a cuppatea won't get the debt collector off my case.

  • At 1:10 are they meant to look hard!?

  • I think I will get Ghospoets album this week.

    Can anybody recommend his album or not??

  • @PuckaMucka I do !!

  • @PuckaMucka I don't know if this is too late, it is a great album and a good way to support upcoming artists =)

  • What a song, my god.

  • amazing!

  • This song is my life.

  • It's humorous how many people think he's a "breh". It's speaking out against that culture. Listen to the song, don't just watch it.

  • @BoardroomChaosTheory excuse my lack of knowledge, but what´s a "breh"?

  • @thetasurfers The same as "brah", "bro" and "bruv". A good example, used 6 or so comments down.

  • @BoardroomChaosTheory

    It's also humorous how hipster know-it-all's like yourself try and create even more of a divide. Do everyone a favour, your pretentious comments are not needed.

  • @TheDubJunction Do yourself a favour and understand a comment before you reply? I'm trying to say it's not all about being any kind of class, it's just good music. It's people like you, who are the problem.

  • @BoardroomChaosTheory who's been saying anything about class? Almost all the comments apart from yours are simply expressing how much they enjoy Ghostpoet's music. I'm not attacking you or anything, I just wasn't aware that class was an issue amongst his fans

  • I relate to this in my bakery

  • endless cup of tea <3

  • <3

    

  • dudes got fucking skills

  • Ghostpoet should be so much bigger!!

  • 2:24 its the demon frogs from DMC4!

  • seeing him tonighhht

  • Makes me want a cup of coffee!

  • first time i've heard this. i just listened to it over and over and over and over and over again. <3

  • What a wonderfully creative piece of work and so - of it's time. The video is superb - simple yet thought provoking. The song and the video illustrates in a very subtle way the real problems some young people can have living in the bleakest of urban Britain.

    Get the sat-nav on and live life and survive it.

    Stay positive.

    Great work.

  • Bald in Dresden :DD

  • its just pure... it makes me feel so small but yet makes me feel so big because i share his feelings and im not alone

  • yeah yeah yeah. yeah yehyehyehyeah. yeah. yeah yeah yeah. GP<3

  • Massive track!!!!!!

  • 2:20 Attack the Block?

  • This is just.. How can i explain it. This is great. He has so different style that it's freaking great. I thought that I really know what is good music. But now I know really meaning of good music.

  • Inspiring

  • gay gay gay all there is to say

  • @masterchieff589 you can leave then :]

  • Worst song on the album tbh.

  • his songs are calm and make me feel sleepy :)

  • Comment removed

  • top tune. met him briefly at a gig, proper sound guy.

  • cool vibe - 

  • Cant understand him but the beat is nice

  • this guys too unique man! top ratings! he's going in!

    check my channel out! new vids up

  • ...Awesome...

    Though, those monster/devil-thingies kinda creep me out >.>

  • Beautiful and perfect.

  • This is actually more poetry than lyrical verse, but it's god damn brilliant whatever you call it

  • @ShadowxBoi hence ghost poet i guess, your right also on that hes fackin brilliant

  • 13 people had differing musical opinions I am neutral towards this fact

  • @absalom38 five stars

  • @absalom38 HAHAHAHAHAHAH! that is the best comment i've ever read on droids that do that

  • @absalom38 you legend.. :L i was called a f'in c*nt for not likin ed sheeran the other day haha

  • 13 people don't quite get music

  • amazing song

  • saw this on jools holland - what an amazing song

  • @azdov omg he was one jools holland!? im gettin on that rite now. cheers.

  • God, this song is so good it hurts.

  • wow— couldn't go further to undermine the gangsta image. no cracks at the law, no besomed birds swiping their derrières up & down his trouser leg— i could possibly get into this...

  • genius

  • FUCKING SICK!!!! hits the spot rly ..

  • Is that E.T at 3:28?

  • Gotta do this song on wednesday for my first performance at college, kinda sums up this country at the moment really!

  • I actually this on flava music channel. Why cant they play stuff like this all the time

  • amazing song, made me love hip hop even though I don;t usually like it

  • so much respect for this man, wish there were more rappers big enough to talk the truth rather than the general bullshit which comes out most rappers arses.

  • woah woah. Wtf was that thing following him at the end of the song. I hope im not seeing things

  • anyone who disliked this song is retarded

  • @swe1230 I agree. You can't judge this simply for being rap, listen carefully to the lyrics and that will explain everything.

  • Saw him last night in Bristol, Sneaked past security to see him at a sold out show and then met him before the show to pay him the money that I would have paid the door. Great performance, and a true poet! A true influence to battle a young failing culture of illiterate thugs and young mothers. Peace ghostpoet and thanks for the photo. :)

  • Cant get enough of this song !!

  • also this music video captures the feel and essence of the poetry in his verse perfectly

  • I may not be into rap and stuff any more but I like this purely because of the lyrics. They seem perfect for today's times. Plus, the female vocal part is something I say to myself every day: "I just wanna live life and survive it."

  • @gothbabe0491 Maybey i'm just playing with words here but how can you survive life ?

  • @aelkg What I mean is, i wanna get through life's tough times and get to where I want to be. I keep the chorus lines in mind whenever I need hope. See what I mean?

  • making his own scene.... much peace ;)

  • this is such an outstanding song, amazing.

  • Comment removed

  • I once just went out in my pijama +slippers,with a cup of coffee ,just like him.Feels cool

  • I've never ever commented on you tube before but i had to for this, you are unreal man, seriously good, and anyone who hasn't heard you is seriously missing out on what a musical orgasm this is

  • @LiamWheen1 Wtf you talking about? loool. It isn't, why did you think that?
