[prince15219]

[teggeta]

[brickcity487]

It's not demonic, it is the symbolic meaning the tool for which sins are committed, not the sin itself.

[5thdahgree]

Good Song Good Meaning

Talib or Eminem

I got Quality

Either or, those two on a track would be sold.

Thanxs for the track novel9380

[Bigmizzone6]

Thank you for this song! I listen to it every morning and every night before bed! It helps me to stand tall and strong through all the bull that is put on my life path! I am the heart beat in my children chest, the treasure in the treasure chest, the mistery that make explorers want to make me a quest, I AM!

[PrincessAmelica]

This is great! Thank you for uploading! Makes one feel better, thank you very much!

[snelling71]

it didnt make mainstream cause it has a positive message in it which forces me to think about shit. they dont want they subliminally influencing the masses. they want corrupt shit that sends corrupt dumb downed messages. think about it.

[coreydarnel]

this is positive? He says he is the blade of the knife that slaughtered the lamb. That phrase is the only one that doesnt make sense out of the whole song. Why did he say that. It raises questions in my mind of who is he refering to when he says lamb.

[snelling71]

I agree on that one phrase, it is confusing. makes me think too. but overall its a positive(different) message. what do you think of that circle of light throughout the video???

[jwjohnson1985]

The orb, I believe, represents the Spirit (Holy Ghost) and the personal spirit in us all.

[gsw15]

its from the Bible

[jwjohnson1985]

Read the story of Abraham and the sacrifice of his only son. But, God tangled a lamb for him to slaughter instead... It is blind faith test on Abraham. The imagery in the song is lovely.

[coreydarnel]

I know the story and the lamb is representative of Jesus who will was slain for the sins of the world. But he says he is the blade of the knife that slaughtered the lamb. If this is a reference of Abrahams story then he is saying something that is evil or simply put demonic.

[imanrn97]

for the greater sacrifice, the son of Abraham...i think it might have to do with where he comes from as a black man...the sacrifice his race have given, for the greater good. maybe? i think maybe he doesn't mean 'i' personally, as much as he means 'my race' . that's how i understood it, after listening several times.

[eazybreezy45]

nothing good ever makes it mainstream more times than none a song that isnt mainstream becomes more popular than the crap you hear on the radio

[bhanshar]

i love this song

[perss2000]

I still can't believe this song didn't break it mainstream. Oh well, I guess people don't think like us fans of the song. Then again it is an intelligent song, so that probably explains the lack of popularity.

[krillypp]

thats tru...maybe if it was a meaningless stupid song then every1 would love it...but it is a great inspirational song

[mattr159]

it made it to mtv2 today. 9/14/2009

[imfumis36]

such a powerful and inspirational song

[Termiborg13]

i loved this song since the 1st time i heard it its great!

[vikingsfan0592]

wow forgot what real music with meaning sounds like. such a beautiful and uplifting song. really glad i found something like this.

[Termiborg13]

i really agree

[Metamophisis]

Dope! I am hip hop ha ha lol!

[lizzdakid]

for the wealth of more knowledge he will inspire thru the action,thru the wire mo folks than a mss choir i am

[dktaipapalet12kew]

NNICE DODDE

[KingKungFuCantona]

I'm a blade of a knife, the slaughter of the lamb

For greater sacrifice, the son of Abraham

Fyah

[Sportsbebe99]

wow.amazing song.

[shaolin1523]

talib went hard

[X831HUSTLER]

"to the cops im a suspect that fits a description"

[DJVADO17]

i think this song should be listened to more it actually has meaning and substance unlike some other rap/hip hop songs out there now and this is what will save hip hop from it's downfall

[003bone]

[kcam4724]

Raw Lyrics

[Vhicula1]

[devon35810]

check out michael white freestyle

[business209]

This song is sooo underated. I think MTV and BET needs to start playing more positive songs like this one.

[aquaprincess205]

so true

[tydiz6633]

i love this song!

[gopher341238]

This song is amazing.  The lyrics read smooth and are so empowering.

[iptfan45]

conscious rap is f-ing awesome. Smart mf's hoping to change the rap game from the ignorance of lil' wayne, soulja boy and all those other weak fools.

[NoVeLSK]

nice my nickname is novel :D:D:D

[FootBallProyo96]

jus da bomb

[Ldgarl1]

This is a great song, a lot of thought was put into it and you dont get this too much from rap nowadays.

[BlackDreams92]

bigg ups 2 tha Novel dis song go hard

[alvahproctor]

this is the realest shit i've heard in a long time nuff respect Novel this song is the BOMB!!!!!

[Oriedo]

This is a good song foreal.''Novel''.

[MISSWEEZYWEE]

THIS IS A REALLY GUD SONG

[LadyWynn404]

[luvaboidee]

NAW THAT BOY CRASHED THAT HOE

[Ladybuggg1822]

LOVVEEEEE ITTTTT

[yeismokepurple]

rechimba de beat and liryc only inpiration,COLOMBIA REPRESENT

[briebo025]

i love this songg this song is the awesome! this songg is the shxt right here

[bentouta5]

i've always been that dude they all hate to know/ the kids' bad so i guess i'm in my bag like coal/ the soul resides inside of my brown iris/ open or cerrado i still ain't got nine lives like a gato/ so i surmise that i gotta decide which way i wanna ride tonight/ if i don't do then i'm a cube that lacks ice a square about whom nobody cares/should i punch air or stop stunts there persevere and enhance/ shake my head and get up out the handicap trance/ now i'm proud i can do a stanky leg dance

[XxmohammadXx]

amazing song, amazing lyrics. Video.. not so good. Kweli looks ridiculous.

[diamepiece]

Dope song

[bstnbutterflyt]

I Am...this is a beautiful testament that we all possess "I AM"...please continue to let your light shine.

[lexanderluther1986]

Novel used to eat a peach for hours ;) lol

..but really, he is a pretty good rapper. Lets hope no one wants to higher their "celebrity" status and work with them (ie..Kanye West, who seems to work with whatever big/up and coming musician just to make it look like HE is open minded)..Talib is always good, Ben Folds..i dont even have to explain. But this Spree Wilson guy....pretty fucking good, pretty different..and his own flow. Hope no one get diluted...very good song

[XoandsouwishXo]

this song is the shit. i love it

[brackata]

i mean, i love lil wayne, soulja boy and all the new shit, but i must admit, this shit is really cool.

[lemecpp]

sends a good message.

[bluej70]

This what real hip-hop fans need, bring back old skool, and have songs like this on the radio, none of that shit Lil Wayne/Soulja Boy trash. My fave is Talib Kweli's part, he still keepin it real, Novel and Spree Wilson was great as well

[bluej70]

btw, I'm 18 years old, and I listen to real/old skool rappers like Talib Kweli, Novel, Spree Wilson and a bunch of others out there

[cidwashere]

I LOVE THIS SONG.......this is what hip hop is sapposed to be an not none of that "stanky leg" mess all that was is a waste of studio time

[lemecpp]

lmao stanky leg is so fuckin stupid!!!!!

[shyocity]

you know, im down with soulful hiphop- to the fullest. but i do believe that there should be a fun/ funny side to hip hop. it doesnt always have to be too serious. this song is absolutely beautiful- at the same time, stanky leg always makes me want to dance, and whats wrong with that? i'll tell you whats wrong with it- songs like stanky leg get more attention. its a shame, yes. this should be played on the radio just as much as any other song, but the balance is just way off.

[jizzy2sexi]

you're absolutely right

the balance scale in mainstream hip hop is tipping way much on the dancing, club banger, ringtone, nursery rhyme, repetitive bullsh*t about females, cars, money, clothes, jewelry, rims with auto tune over it lmao

[zeandraDOTcom]

exactly!!!

but i betcha Novel wont get his music played like he should . kuz thats how the music industry is, they play dumb shit and not people who actually have sumthin to say....

[jizzy2sexi]

true

[azamatbagatho]

not true man..there are some artists who spit frm their hearts..and some of them blew big..and they are the rappers who are considered to be the legends...the best examples are tupac,biggie and eminem

novel needs to sign to a good record label..someone like dre needs someone like novel

[Killazach]

That's why you spread the word to your friends about amazing music. It aint going to waste if you're doing something about it.

[jizzy2sexi]

true but you know some people are struck in their ways & music lol they'll just shoo away songs that go against the grain or what their used to unless their really open minded

[hkay93]

i like your way of thinking jizzy XD

[vladmir35]

omg dis song hits home i love it and 2 all of ya domt let n/e one tell u yur not ..................much love

[enyawd3434]

yo this is real right here none of that bull shit rappin he's speaking the truth i hope to hear more of this type of music it's how i feel real talk good looks novel god bless..

[brooklynsjaguar30]

good quality on the music and video i like this

[orcness99]

One of the best songs no one knows about. they should put dis on the radio

[BWEISS456]

does anyone know the lyrics to the 3rd verse?

[lizzdakid]

i am the sign of the times see I seal and deliver the rhymes i am the mc's verse you rewind like a blockbuster tape i am the gift from the kind to all the disadvanted folk broke, battered,and blind i am the new generations beat writer,the jack keroac influence i am the hippy peace fighter see i am aim to raise lighter for the soul rasied higher in a released kite in the sweaty palms of minors brighter the glow of jim morrisons lit fire i am the taste aquired a scholastic youth desire for the wel

[business209]

Too good of a song not 2 be played on MTV

[Sylvire]

Finally, Ive been all over trying to fing this song. Every time I searched "I am" I'd "Will I Am" or "I am Legend" ect.

[earthwarmingistrue]
