🔥🔥🔥🔥 Who here with me 2024?…🙋🏽‍♀️

I always come back and listen to this to remind myself why Joyner is the best poet of this generation.

"I love you but I hate you at the same time." Why isn't this song trending in 2020?

This should've been dropped in 2020 this would have EXPLODED

I refuse not to cry but the ending did it all. That hug hits different

This is the first time I'm listening to this. I saw a piece about it on msnbc. Wow! Brave, creative, and powerful. I'm sitting here stunned.... thinking that we all have our differences and that's OK as long as we are respectful enough to listen, learn, and understand.... no matter how uncomfortable it may be.

This song is one of the best songs ever written it shows how both white and black people feel honestly I would love a part 2

AS A BLACKMAN , THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL SONGS IVE EVER HEARD!!!! WOWWWWWW

This song is the best, literally. It’s like he encapsulated American racial tension and put it honestly in two peoples shoes. All the things many people think but never say out loud, so it never gets resolved. I especially love the bridge where he talks about the cycle continuing, placing blame, and how divided we are. The song also takes accountability for both sides. Joyner really outdid himself here.

This song is art at its finest and has been unmatched still in 2022

Song is 3 years old and still applies to today's problems

"blame it on anybody except for your own race" daaaaaaaaaamn .

5 years later and it still slaps, This song deserves a billion views 🤞🤞

I love hearing them get things off their chests, then SEEING them GENUINELY LOVE one another with that hug....Put tears in my eyes. Thank you, gentlemen.

why would anyone dislike? they obviously dont realize the true meaning behind the song

This is art.. this is what greatness is

To this day “there’s two sides to the story and I wish I knew yours” flew over a lot of heads. We don’t have to like each other, we don’t have to agree on everything, but we gotta share this land and this planet. One day I hope, this song won’t have a meaning other than to show how we had to have a song show us in broad terms how bitter we are to each other

The typical "I'm not racist but..." has a whole new meaning

It's crazy. Soon as I finished listening to this song I tried talking about it with my homie and every word I said rhymed

ICYMI dun went in HAM on this right here! a u t h e n t I c v i e w s dun took his career of 2 da big leagues after he dun found that page

Watching this from South Africa 🇿🇦

_I love the ending of this, the whole point, it's understanding and love._

I learned one damn REAL ASS lesson from this.

Uncomfortable, yes. Mind opening, indeed. This is THE conversation that needs to happen on a mass scale so we can truly unite. Untie as brothers and sisters, as Americans, or simply because we are ALL humans. Ive lived both sides of this story and i will fight for everyone!

So powerful of a message in this song brought me to tears

I've legit felt uncomfortable the entire song... however it is EXTREMELY thought provoking. I love listening to things like this that make me listen first then think. Soild work.

It takes a really gifted person to put it so eloquently! I will forever promote, support and love Joyner for this! To put both sides of the table on, smh, so critically important!

dis song needs grammy

5 years later and this song still has meaning, relevance and depth.

end of 2022 and this still gets me to tear up.

Bro this is why I like Lucas so much, he doesn’t just rap to rap.

How the fuck this didn’t win a Grammy Joyner hands down a masterpiece I remember my heart breaking when this didn’t win but hey fuck the Grammy man you’re always the winner in my book man

I gotta give this guy so many props for doing this. This song has so much meaning💙

That song is so powerful seriously Joyner Lucas deserve a Grammy for this song.

Imagine if this landed when George Floyd was murdered

It's crazy how both sides of the song objectively have points

this is what i love bout music. i love that music can portray so much in such a short amount of time. this gives me chills every time i watch it

what a message. neither side is entirely right or wrong. but there is a right answer mixed between them somewhere.

That's deep! This song should be trending right now for the world to hear! The media is dividing us all by race, religion and politics! We need to unite n show these mf's we are all human n let us live our lives the way we see fit! United we stand, divided we fall! 🙌🙏🏼

Joyner the 🐐 He deserves a grammy

Sending love all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦 In 2022 I’m still listening to this MONSTER of a song ..still gives me chills 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️

Such a beautify worded song. This needs to be heard by everyone. It's 2022 guys. Lets start acting like it. It's not the 1900s anymore. Much love my dude.

White guy here. What I got from this song was that there's a point on both sides. Okay, that sounds basic as fuck... except I mean there's REALLY a case on both sides. Whites and blacks spend so much time hating each other and killing each other that there's almost no understanding at all. But then when we try to understand each other, we also fight that shit "Trying to steal black culture", "Paying my taxes for your food stamps".... so there's a misunderstanding and we do it to each other. That's sad. We could do better.

damn this almost made me cry 😭

The message of this brilliant song as i understand it is unity through acceptance of our differences. Unity and love not division and war. It is a powerful song with a beautiful message that i am so grateful to have had the opportunity to witness.

That hug was unexpected in this video and made me tear up as a grown man. Thank you for all that you do.

This explains the whole problem in 2019-2020 with people being prejudice and stuff

I've been so angry with what is happening to our Country. I've always judged people by character and never judged another religion as not to have my faith questioned. I didn't understand the hate. After this, I truly do. Maybe, we all just need to meet and talk. Get to know one another on a personal bases and go from there

The hug at the end is PRICELESS! I love my fellow humans regardless of their skin tone. I wish everybody would just get along and love each other. Life is hard!

I just love the message. It made me cry. Hope the world see's this video. It's important.

This song still gives me chills. Most influential song imo. Plenty of other fantastic songs but this one hits in a whole different way

I’ve heard this over 50 times and it still gives me chill every time. Great message, great lyricism, great rapper.❤️

As a fellow African American this song is so true How does this not have more likes?

this is very powerful. i love it♥️ we are all humans and need to respect each other's cultures and mind our own business.

it’s so good but I can’t rap along with it without thinking about the people who haven’t heard the whole thing and will think I’m racist AF

If you picked a side you're to young for this song most educating song ever made this generation needed this so we dont repeat our fathers sins... Factsss

I come back to this every few months to remind me where my head needs to be at. It hurts every single time, but we need to feel this pain

Man i super appreciate the ending. We all here for our fams plain and simple. This world was meant for us all, Together as one. Me and you we're all earth. Blessing to everyone everyday may piece follow us all.

This video is extremely courageous and enlightening. My first time listening to Joyner Lucas and I must admit I am pleasantly surprised by the lyrical content and subject matter depth. I will listen to more of his ventures. I think l have found a gem.

My daughter showed me this tonight. A young woman from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 One world x

Wow, powerful message. I never knew so much from both sides of the coins existed. Thank you, for opening my eyes and scaring me to havin me in tears. I was raised in a time not to see color or even a disability, what I hope is taught/shown thru by actions today. Respectfully, God bless

Man... realest shit ever heard in 36 yrs... a masterpiece! Of course no mainstream play.. not enough... racism... 💯

Anyone else always tear up when the man holds his arms out for a hug🥺

I’m an “Euro-American” and I have a biracial son, he is technically my step son, (his biological father is black) and he has known this his whole life but he is my son, he has 3 brothers that are my biological kids but he has told me that he didn’t feel any different from them, thank God! So I have had a unique view of the racial issue(s) in this country. I have worked with people for years and as soon as they learn that my oldest son is “black” you can see the thought process with them realizing all the racist things they have said to or around me or they will actually change the way they interact with me! The sad part is, some people don’t even know that they are racist, they actually think their attitude is great, I have to explain to them why their point of view is the “racism” that is the problem. The racism the kkk burdens humanity with is easy to defeat, but the racism that most people have is hard to overcome. When people see a black man, not just a man, like every other man, that is hard to counteract. When people are so blind to the truth they say that “there isn’t disadvantages facing minorities today, they have the same, if not more, opportunity than anyone!”, it drives me crazy. Until white people in America can see people for who they are and not the color of their skin, nothing is going to change. Until people see a person, not a black or brown or white person but a person, that day will be a great day. I hope I am still around to witness it,.......peace be with you all.

The hugs and laughter at the end**

Even in 2024 it still hit deep

Damn he knocked the whole table over,ya know shit is getting real

Coming back to this song the hug at the end still gives me chills.

Wow thats all i can say im speechless that was a great song and even better video. I am a definite Joyner Lucas fan now wow.

"Blame It On Puerto Rico" That hit home hard. 🤝🏼✊🏼🇵🇷❤️‍🩹🫂🇿🇦🩸🇺🇲✊🏼🤝🏼

As a native American, this song really touched my soul 🙏

This hits deep. It makes me cry and gives me chills. This is the realest I’ve ever heard.

As a 42 year old male of 5 sons I'll be showing them this video is amazing and you should be proud of yourself not for the message but the love behind it thank you for this...

That hug at the end is more powerful then some may know. Imagine if everyone had to greet one another with a real hug like that before a single word was even spoken.

"I'm ducking every time I hear a fucking plane now" every. fucking. time. and. day.

Lost a best friend of 22 years due to this divide. Good shit and hit me right in the feels.

Still listening to this beautiful song 🔥🔥🔥 2024. Devided will fall and united will stand no matter the race nor the color

If this song makes you angry... you not listening to the depth of the words. This is deep. Yet true

I love how it's from both sides. Both listened and retorted. And at the end realize we should just be love.. Not hate ... We have different ways. Different ways approaching one another. Message of this song is LOVE. Love one another. Always

The feeling I'm feeling after this, is deep💞😭

Got chills when they hugged ❤

When i see ppl fighting in the comments and picking sides i start to lose hope because the whole song is made so that we would understand each other

The feeling of this song at 12 then 13 then 14 is that every year you start to see each side you start to realize what's happening and see that no one is in the right everyone is in the wrong

This song is needed now more than ever

This is awesome. Made me tear up. Celebrate our differences dont let the world pull us apart. I love you all.

that hug bro. i wish that was exactly what society became at this point, everyone hugging and accepting each other and trying their best to understand each side and change what's wrong. unfortunately, the majority of people are contaminated with the idea that different = bad or dangerous, and the ones with more power and influence always try to only uplift the ones who are like them, keeping everyone else in the ashes. that's so sad. this song is a lesson to be taught.

Back in my wild days, my favorite drug dealer was black. One time he told me the cops in my state were racist and they'd pulled him over just because he was black and assumed that meant he was criminal. I responded "but you are a drug dealer" and he said "yeah but those n*ggas didn't know that", then we both started laughing hysterically lol.

This song gave me 96% in L.A. when I was in highschool, that's how strong these lyrics are! Mad respect! (Project was to find a song that describes the world)

Here i am, end of 2023 and im still blasting this. Its such a powerful video.

One thing about Joyner is he pours out his emotions in every song and you can feel it ❤

I watched this when it came out & I thought it was dope and genius.. now watching it, I just want to cry.

All black people don’t do weed and smoke, party and etc We can be civil 🥺

I’m somewhere between this and the words of Morgan freeman when he said the way to be free from racism is to “stop talking about it” he said “you stop calling me a black man and I’ll stop calling you a white man” and that hit almost as hard as these lyrics. I’m a white woman, majority of my friends are black. Got mixed nieces and nephews, family members, etc. we all bleed red at the end of the day. I think these tough conversations need to be had and THEN we all move on from it with the understanding that we are all human and no one is better than anyone else. We. All. Bleed. Red. ♥️

This goes hard and the backstory of this song just has lot of meaning to it respect

I've watched this so many times and it still hits the same everytime!! It's all about understanding how history has put us into this position and to move forward as black and white people, this would relate to so many people(I'm from the UK) but it's not mainstream so doesn't get seen!! Poetic and honest song.

Deep deep truth that might hurt some cause now they hear truth they aren't willing to accept

First time hearing this. WOW, so powerful. This should be everywhere!

This could be one of the biggest generational songs there is for this generation. If EVERYONE.... I mean EVERYONE could stop and listen and realize the true point to this song and build from that, it could be the start to a world we all need. It's a shame everyone can't take a step back a realize this.
