i have entered the black excellence section of youtube.

Every year, for 3 years,I have been coming back to this music video to remind myself I'm African/black and despite of all all oppression I have to go through everyday I belong here, I am human, I am a soul living a human experience and its best I just acknowledge my beauty and live through it,because if I die without living my ancestors wildest dreams I would have just failed! Here's to being Black and CONSCIOUS and lifting up the next black person. Thank you for this song Kojey!

A moment of silence for the people who haven't found this masterpiece yet

This is still fresh in 2024.....timeless classic!

Every now and then i see or read something that reminds me of how great it is to be BLACK. And today this was that.

"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." ~ Maya Angelou = GODDESS What's your story?

Can we talk about him and the two girls killing that dance?!!

2years later and there is still something in the warer

This is something else... beyond a masterpiece 🔥

four years later this song is still a gut punch and was also my intro to mahalia which what a blessing. how lucky are we few who get to keep coming back and soaking up this brilliance.

And I still don't watch the news Barely trust the facts now Liar liar liar, throwing stones then hide your hands, wow That don't make no man proud Tears might make my city drown I'm too scared to speak to God There's shooters in the churches now Something's in the water Tell me what the mission is Just another citizen that sacrifice my discipline Still don't know my origin Still don't know who's listening Still can't tell the difference between Strength and my conditioning

I am full blooded Native American and I hella relate. We knew hate before we ever came out the womb but I can’t get stuck in the past

Beautiful

Kojey on a different level

This should have millions of views and comments. We are quick to say nahh. Let's be just as quick to say yehh.

We still out here basking in our "Pigmentation!" 🖤🤎🖤 Black is beautiful, black is love, black is me, black is us; mighty Glorious! 🦚💣💥

I’m so speechless....i don’t even know what to listen to after this. It’s 6 in the morning, I haven’t ate a thing but I’m so full. Woah

Mahalia *SNAPPED*

This keeps becoming more potent with each playback. Peace to the still alive folks still standing in this world. Bless all of the babies.

I usually don't comment on videos, but I am truly moved by this work's authenticity and strength. It is precisely the kin motivation I need to finish my education. I thank you for that.

the choreography is out of this world holy balls

Whoever shot this and colour graded it... WELL DONE!!! EVERYTHING was on point here! The choreography and song is so powerful.

3rd Verse, "If Only You Knew" Tell them to keep the same energy Can’t pillow talk with the enemy That’s how Adam discovered his jealousy Cautious, can’t lend an ear to the talkers Me and my niggas do walk ups Leave or they fall like it’s autumn then Stay on your mind like a chorus Fed up of underachieving You buy what they selling you're dreaming You don't learn from hunger by eating You get left behind if you sleeping How much you gave to the preacher Racking up base with a visa Forgot we got rich off amnesia Just to get by like Felicia

Still asking myself why this masterpiece doesn’t have more views ❤ 1 millon isn’t enought

I always love how innocent Mahalia looks until she opens her mouth lol 😍 #QueenShit

Solange "Don't touch my hair vibes"🍃🍃🍃🍃 Definetly a masterpiece. BLACK IS POWERFUL, WE WILL FOREVER BE INFINITE.

The relationship of the two twins is probably indescribably strong. Such powerful love and connection.

🔥🔥🔥🔥 Juneteenth 2020 soundtrack content. Vibrate higher.

Kojey Radical ft Mick Jenkins needs to happen!!!

11/10 production, videography, choreography, lyricsm, style, quality. This is greatness. Its realness feels like something so ancient yet ahead of its time lol

At this moment in my life I just found the key to Black Excellence. Thanks so much for your Creativity to speak life into our community #blackmusicmatters

This video is art, skill, beauty and truth all perfectly blended

Ms. Jill Scott sent me 🙋🏾‍♀️... I knew she'd never let me down.. #newfan2💥❤❤

I normally do not comment under videos, but this was too fire for me not to do so?!! Art is what it is!!

even tho a lot of times it sucks being black, this is the type of art that only black people can expose in such manner to the world by black people. so for that i say that i am proud of being black and so should all of us. to all the brothers and sisters, stay blessed. our time to shine is here.

This brother transcends time, he would stand out in the 1990s as much as he will stand out in 2018/19. Nothing but Quality here 💪🏾👍🏾

We are witnessing greatness.

The waaaayyyy my mouth just dropp3d open when that man came onto the screen! 😍. I've never heard of this guy but GOD he is so dark and handsome...And with this super manly aura❤🖤💛💚. My heart literally sped up watching and listening to him😂

Well since I'm late yet on time most of my thoughts and emotions have been expressed. This energy is everything and this song is pure energy. 🙆🏾‍♀️💯

Black is the first. Black is the richest. Black is a gift.

The ending is a beautiful scene..

Yes for black excellence

This shit is beautiful.

God is a black woman.

Feels like I fell into Killmonger's fever dream...

The dislikes is from witches that hate melting lol

Just....Wow. This record brought back a Fugees/Reggae vibe to me. Very Spiritual Indeed. Words, Sounds and Visuals that develop the mind. The world needs this right now. Truly Revolutionary. Feels like a time when all the righteous leaders were around back in the 60's (and prior also later) fighting for whats right. Thank you everyone involved in this project. Respect and representing over here in the USA, New York City. Please don't change the messages, the future generation needs this amongst all this noise. Once again Thank You. - DJ Anamaly

I'm sure you've heard this all before Sure you look familiar, sure the cost of living Keep on rising with no limits N-Name a politician gave a fuck about your feelings Name a single trend that didn't end up like a gimmick Think there's something in the water Tell me what the mission is, I see lead showers Code word, Flint Michigan Attire match my melanin Black on Black is militant Represents my diligence I see through that privilege Something's in the water I think there's something in the water And I still don't watch the news Barely trust the facts now Liar liar liar, throwing stones then hide your hands, wow That don't make no man proud Tears might make my city drown I'm too scared to speak to God There's shooters in the churches now Something's in the water Tell me what the mission is Just another citizen that sacrifice my discipline Still don't know my origin Still don't know who's listening Still can't tell the difference between Strength and my conditioning Something's in the water I think there's something in the water Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god I've been gone a while now Never thought I'd come back to this Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh I heard we been falling down Watchu mean we're falling down to this I don't get this fuckery This was never taught to me I don't know how we got here Oh so suddenly Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god I'm stood at the border And there's something in this water Something's in the water I think there's something in the water Something's in the water I think there's something in the water It seems all we do is talk and never Listen to the fiction clear as water, That it's all a masquerade For the love of my addiction, Tire marks and 911's, hear no evil, see no evil in my lane Same old story, pain and glory Fit inside your categories, numbers said I wouldn't see another day, What more can I say? I think the rain my guardian angel, Fall from heaven just like Gabriel, come and take away the pain Something's in the water Bad things in the water Something's in my brothers Something like no other I can't put my finger on it All I know is we don't want it All I know is if we carry on then we will fall All I know is if we take this on then we will lose it all Something's in the water

Something is in the water , unconditional love energy 💫💯🌍💪🏽💃🏽🦁 if is clean spiritual water 💦 ❤

Genius.......... this is ART

Wow! I was never ready. Give me time to prepare and I still wouldn't have been ready.

This song makes me feel great about being a brown skin Goddess👑💯🖤✊🏾
