This is real rap. None of tht bs tht talks about u get money pussy n drugz. I dnt want to hear u doin all tht shyt while I work hard for the sake of my family. N I hate racist pple we are all one race n thts human beings.
@alonzo3636 Your dumb because I was just responding to what he said by saying it back but i don’t mean it in a literal way cos on a day to day basis u dont hear black people talking like that like if we don’t go around leaving comments like that for no reason. Im not racist but white ppl need to understand that you can’t be like that anymore because white ppl really owe a lot to black ppl and his comment was not needed .plus i gave a explanation with reasons why we should but we don’t .
UNA PREGUNTA DE DONDE ESTE GRUPO , ESTA ROLA ESTA DE LA PTM !! Y ESA MUSICA CON EL PIANO ES LA KE MAS ME GUSTA!!!!
what happened to this kind of music, these days it sends negative messages towards the little ones
i mean im only 14, this song has to be one of my favorites <3
We can all be what we want to be regardless if ur from the projects,the barrio,the hood,the trailers,or an immigrant, if you work hard at it,but depending where you live in the USA you might be accepted or rejected.That’s America though so don’t be surprised we have that right.
how did this song get released good song
I love this song
One of the best video….. very educative and motivational for all kids…
Where is the piano melodi from?
this song is badass
man this song is badass im from the barrio aint shit but just the barrio (hispanic hood) and by listening to this song its makes me ant to get out of here and ima MAKE IT OUT BUT OT IN A BOX..
Its a great video. I”m in my mid twenties and i use this for motivation. Kind of a troll comment but i love how they included one white girl in the video at 3:49 haha. Kidding aside Nas is an underrated genius.
