love this song

I listened to this song every time I was in a low place in high school. I'm about to graduate with 2 degree in my hand and I got a studio apprenticeship now. Now that I'm here earls vocals hit different, I'm no longer looking up dreaming because I am my own dream now. My quest for power is over. I'm grown.

Earl tweeted this saying “when I die and u tryna explain me to whoever, play this one !”

In a Quarantine Earl suits just fine.

7 yrs ago next month. Wow how time flies.

why he look like he bout to drop the biggest sneeze of the year

imagine listening to this *EVERYDAY* for three years straight. ill admit it. im guilty of it.😞

Samiyam deserves an award for that first instrumental

As a kid my dad would always slide on some LLCoolJ, Run DMC, and Beastie Boys. Growing up I started to notice the times he'd play those tracks you could see it in his eyes he was taken back to his youth, you could read it off his face he was reminiscing to some memories he remembered where rock the bells was the sound track. One of the only things I'm looking forward to with growing old is that right there, and I know for a damn fact this will be one of those songs for me. This came out a couple of years ago and that year this jam was on repeat for me. I can't wait until I'm 35 or 40 and my kid slides on some,"old school" and this track comes up. That'll be the day.

whoever produced that second beat is spiritually enlightened

Once Earl gets comfortable with his voice, its over

Who else always gon' listen to earl no matter what

Arguably one of his best songs

shoenice must've inspired earl to eat something spicy because he's spittin fire.

I don't really roll with OF much these days anymore, but i'll always remember this guy lol. very talented

His flow literally forces you to swallow the beat it's intense amazing.

Does it scare anyone else that earl is entering that Top 25 of all time range and he's only 22?

That power beat is tough to rap over. He really shows how much talent he has there imo

"I know my grandma watching over my soul" 🙏

i know my grandmother watchin over my soul

fell in love with this song the 1st time i heard it...............

Its 2015 a sophomore in highschool, I wake up to snow outside my window and know school is canceled... lolol this track had just surfaced back then and i turned it on right as i woke up and just looked out the window at the snowfall. went to my boys house and smoked a blunt and had a good day.. lol time flies

I'm so addicted to this

Thaankyaw

I slipped off my couch...that how smooth this shit was

Looks like earl is on his own path growing as a great MC. Nice to see him doing his own thing!

this, solace and december 24 are probably my top 3 earl songs

Power is simply delicious

did he just bring up shoenice

holy shit this is beautiful

this song is so special

Ive been listening to this song so much over the years and its like a blanket over my soul.

possibly the greatest EARL song ever made.

Always coming back to this.

Easily one of earls best songs, I find myself coming back to this pretty regularly. This track just brings such a indescribable mood of contentment to em every time I hear it. It’s calming and makes you think. Earl will go down as one of the greatest to ever do it.

Man this earl album gonna be colder than the snow on the ground...

This era of earl, man, i wish i could go back so bad

[Quest] [Verse 1] Tunnel vision on a guap stack Malt liquor perspirating through the brown sack Big talk looking thinner when it's combat Swear that shit is astounding I ain't stupid with cash either, I grew up around it They overheard he shoot nice so they knew to surround him Eating shit like he's Shoenice like the booth had a bounty I'ma kill it, it's Early like a school night I'm the realest that you know, my bruised soul In the middle of group home in the locks Threw the times I spent off in group homes in a box I been grown boy And cool coals you spitting just ain't hot, this fire and brimstone You guys should've went home when you could've Took the title, raising bars of what's supposed to be good up His shirt drenched, they wet his rosary wood up And who you 'posed to be, sugar Don't get close to me My heart cold like the fucking carrots in the grocery store And in the morning no Folgers, just 'dro I told my momma that I'm on my way home I know my grandma watching over my soul On some other shit... [Power] [Verse 2] Spent nights off the downers at my desk Did time in the tower off the spliffs I'm not like the cowards on the fence I'm not like I'm lounging on the bench Get up out and get your shit Find some power in yourself or in this shit Listen, my niggas spit All day give 'em what live niggas require My state give up the prize cause I'ma find it Anyway boy we riding Trying to sneak the cake up out the motherfucking bakery quiet Dodge and evade all the fire Watch what you saying to sire Stay out my face and my wallet Move state to state for the profit Said that on Sunday, you peeped it A tiny list of my peoples I see 'em all as my equal So the difference between us is a just a pimp and a preacher I'm running quick from my demons I crush the spliff with my sneaker You know the difference between us These niggas fraud you could see it, all of them out of their feelings I know my heart so I speak it I love the squad so I lead it Eyes wide open, I'm sleepy I'm on the highway, I'm weaving in and out of my lanes I call mom say, that I was all the power I needed She say she glad I'm called she just can't believe it I'm gone

"I know my heart so I speak it, I love my squad so I lead it" they all eatin cuz earl speaks from his heart.

These songs grew on me. I love both of them equally now.

The sound in the background, the crackling sound that comes from an LP makes you feel warm.

I know my hear so I speak it , I love the squad so I lead it - Earls best line to me struck deep

funny to see that eventually everyone comes back to the songs of their youth

Earl still gone go out in my top 5 forever. Da music hit too deep to forget it over time.

Rest In Peace Mac Miller

"eyes wide open im sleepy im on the highway im weaving in and out of my lanes i call mom say that i was all the power i needed she say she glad im called she just can't believe it" *IM GONE*

first beat is straight fire!! the swing on them drums with that bouncy baseline. wow

I always find myself returning back to this video

Just Noticed hes wearing a hat

Earl has by far the best loosies in the game

TUNNEL VISION ON A GUAP STACK

“Tunnel vision on a guap stack” is one of the best openers I’ve heard in a while.

after listening to his new album i have a new appreciation for this song and Solace. I've loved songs like Wind in my Sails, but this shit is insanely good and important for music. maybe i'm just stoned

I randomly remember this song exists sometimes and it gets better every time

Earl's voice always gives me goosebumps

"Eat shit like he shoenice" My jaw dropped

He played this at the novo show, 8/19/23

I prefer Quest over Power. Whole song is still fire tho

"I WAS ALL THE POWER I NEEDED!"

The greatest song he ever put out, untouchable.

Earl climbing that steep incline toward happiness rn

listening to this song daily heals me

I knew all the way back in 2010 that Earl was a step above the rest of OF.

I know my heart so I speak it.

This is the greatest rapper alive. Cherish him while he is here.

"Sleepy, I'm on the highway." How can I possibly be so happy he brought a bar back and reused it in another song? I'm getting hyped over bars used twice.

All we need is Earl turning into a supervillain, and we're DOOMed.

shoenice is a beast

How does Earl Sweatshirt sound so depressing but inspiring at the same time?

This track is heavenly, seriously feel like the angels channeled thru earl and samiyam/budgie for this one, so much hope and light on this track

You guys don't understand how amazing earls next project is gonna be. IDLS was just something to put out so his fans could shut the fuck up for a while and he could work on real shit. He's been working on his next album since 2014 and is gonna have a fuckin shitload of amazing features. Everyone keep on bein patient were in for a dope end to the summer or beginning to fall.

i love how dude evolves his sound with every project

the way he rode the power beat is crazy

I can´t stop listening this masterpiece everday... I´m the only here in 2019 ??

Why is this beat switch literally one of the best created???

I’ll take Earl over Eminem any day

This man is a true inspiration and not only as an artist but as a human. You move forward, i move forward, thank for teaching how to deal with a tar pit full of our ways.🤝

i like when he asks questions rhetorically within the dialogue of the verse. "YOU SEE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN US?"

I swear I search and search, but lyrically there is no one out there who can even come close to Earl.

I wish there were more comments about how great this song is and less about this fucking shoenice character.

Had to come back down earls road

Honestly 70 years from now I'll still love this

“Tunnel visioned on a quap stack 💰, Malt liquor perspirating through the brown sac 🥃 “ First line and already just bars

this song been on my playlist for the passed 5 years

I've been listening to this for 8 years

This song is just simply clean, one of earl's best.

20 now and this shit genuinely hit my soul more than ever and I’ve heard this shit a thousand times most definitely I’m gone ✌🏽

after about five years of listening i've decided this is my favorite song

I love this song so much. Both of them are amazing. There is something so soothing yet empowering about this track. I wish I could explain it, but you'd have to just keep listening until you get me.

Earl

still one of the greatest tracks in hip hop

Yo earl put a lot into those lyrics at the end

“tunnel vision on a guap stack...” earl remains top tier Bc his imagery is so fire. Simple and original, emphasis on original too

I always think my phones ringing when I hear this, was my ringtone for a few years, too good man

a lost song found again, an earl classic too!

i love this song so much, heard it live twice, i still get chills from like every bar despite how many times i’ve heard the song

Earl is just something else man, thank god i started listening to him, his first three studio albums can be interchanged any time of the day and solace is a piece of art that cant be touched. The earl mixtape is also a trip down nostalgia road, as a 16 yr already having those dope bars are crazy to me. Hope yall find solace cause i found mine in earls music

good to see Earl is still making dope tracks

The day after i heard this i saw shoenice on tosh.0 God bless the Prophet sweatshirt

that shoenice reference though
