I knew he was gone be fire 🔥 when I saw the .99 lighter

Those kids weren’t ready for that kind of knowledge and truth

2024 I still had to come back and watch this Classic!!!!

7yrs later; still fire 🔥 my guy👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

My dude sang for an audience (no mic), while beating to his own tune (no instrument), and to be honest sounds more polished than most heavily funded concerts you pay almost 100 bucks for. We need this.

There's hidden gems in the WORLD yet they sign mumble cats

2:20 shouts out to the young man who actually appreciated this talent he knows good music when he hears it I love this video I listen to it all the time for the past 5 years

I’m 40. This 80 baby shit all day long. Big ups to the homie for keepin our spirit alive. 💯💯🔥🔥

Who else stayed to watch all the way through? Dope.

That one kid bumping his head is ahead of his peers for sure

Do they really understand how hard and on what level this is??? Brain and hand coordination, plus mastering the rhythm and adding vocals while still holding a technically solid hard beat. This is AMAZING. I luv being Black💯💯💯💥💥💥💡💡💡💯💯💯💥💥💡💡🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤

Now this is an ARTIST. No 🎤 no real instruments.. just his hands . He killed it 🔥🔥

My guy had lighter already for that fire he was about to spit.

Shoutout to everyone who watched the whole vid. Dude is really good

If you're not in that 40 & up age range like myself, you wouldn't understand that what you're seeing is pure, raw uncut talent..... Takes me back to the good ol' days beating on the desks and cafeteria tables..... No computer 🖥️, no drum machine just you a table, pencil ✏️ or 🖊️ pen....

A real performer...no glitz, no glamor. Just a spirit that loves expressing itself through sound. Applause 👏🏾

Drop a like for the black kid who felt this in his soul , drop another like for Anthony Pierre

He was the dude in school that always had the lunch room lit

Shout-out to the classmates that actually appreciated this man's talent and we're vibing. Everyone else just sat there looking uninterested asf

We need a studio version ASAP! I cant stop listening to this song.

Bro I’m 4 years late and KZfaq barely recommends me this ? This is heat 🔥🙆🏻‍♂️

Them kids cant even appreciate good music. Only one dude. This song fire.

LYRICS 0:49 Should have just left you alone When I found out what kind of stuff you was on I thought that our love was strong, but I was wrong Maybe I was just so gone That I couldn't see that you was a ho Now its time for me to move on, and get out on my own See I'm still trying to find, the reasons why I chose to sacrifice, so many years of my life And all we did together, was fuss and fight And I spent too much time, trying to make things right But now, I...…. I've seen the truth, I didn't mean nothing to you I was just someone, that you could use, and I let you do it So what is the use, to try and save me and you When you don't really love me, like you say, you do Know that I know the truth I ain't got no more pickings for you So you can go ahead and do what you do Cause baby I'm through, with you Please just leave me alone, id appreciate it if you'd stop calling my phone Cause baby I'm moving on, now that you're gone Im still trying to find, the reasons why I chose to sacrifice, so many years of my life And all we did together, was fuss and fight And I spent too much time, trying to make things right But now, I...…. I've seen the truth, I didn't mean nothing to you I was just someone, that you could use, and I let you do it So what is the use, to try and save me and you When you don't really love me, like you say, you do You don't love me, like you say you do You don't love me, like you say you do

9 years later and still fire.

The crowd was too young to relate with this gem. Better than majority of the music I heard today.

he should do a whole album like this. Call it PEN, LIGHTER, LOVE

his timing is so fucking perfect, even not talking about how amazing his lyrics and singing is .. on point

As a young divorced man I felt this. My ex wife started making more than me and felt like she didn’t need me. Less than a year later I got a better job making more than her. I felt this song

" Here is a lighter a pencil and a crowd. Do what you can"

and he's the teacher .... best teacher everrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Authentic talent, so raw and beautiful... hold this 💎 close to your heart kiddos. He is the real deal. 💜💫🔥

On repeat. This just hits home especially in 2022.

2:33 Mans looked at the class “y’all not feeling this??”

Who still bumpin 2020? *goosebumps*

The black man and the black woman was a hell of a invention.

2024 and still come back to this love it so amazing.. Much love bro if you see thia God blesa

This got that 2003 Anthony Hamilton vibe to it

Don't know how many times I replayed this :)

Black people are so creative, we make everything better

All i can say is dam bro💯😂😂i actually took tha time to put my blunt dwn nd listen to this nd it was worth it rs

It's so sad brothers like this can't get a chance to show their talents. This is a deep as hell song and my man's spit that shit like straight fire.

I'm still loving this💜💜💜 4ever my jam...

Young brother can hear the real in the music. It’s why he’s the only bumping

Everyone needs a music teacher this passionate about music. This is Art🥰

That pause before "I seen the truth.." was fire as fuck

Only 1 kid knew what he was hearing, shout out to you young man.

My Man!!! He Goded that right there.. straight from the vine...

Damn I'm surprised those kids weren't vibing more. Straight Dope.

singers like him are the type that should be heard on the radio, unlike the trash rappers now and these days. pure talent. talk about real emotions, heart and soul. Hope he makes it big.

I finally understand that I wasn't wrong, I finally understand what gaslighting is. Thank you.

These kids don’t understand what they’re hearing right now. I guarantee they’re lookin back on this video & can feel this man lyrics like we do.

this good as hell that one dread in da back of his head was bobbing to the beat the whole time

When the subtitute teacher lit asf 💯 bro went raw and killed it

Cornrows and black T-shirt is feeling this jam in their bones.

This that midwest/southern hospitality vibes..

I COULD LISTEN TO THIS ALL DAY... 😍😘💯 PURE TALENT...

Only one kid was feeling it This is real talent he's blessed with great talent yo I want to give a shout out to him for real

This is still better than most freestyle rnb clips. Less than 4M views in 9 years is a crime.

The beauty these students aren't realizing crushes my soul. Bless everyone, beauty will always shine.

Using a pencil and lighter as instruments.... Amazing

Left Ear - satisfied Right Ear - left chat

This speaks volumes 💪🏾✊🏾🔥 those that get it, get it!

My man went off to his own beat amazing talent

Making beats on a table is a timeless black male ritual.

Who's still listening in 2019??

Found myself singing this in a cell almost every night

This resonates with me deep down in my soul, and I'm certain that it's the same for a lot of us guys, this is a gem of a classic, blessings upon you my brother and may God continue to bless you to touch hearts and souls with your soulful lyrical and vocal talents

Damm........brings back high school memories......especially at the end of school year, teachers let yall chill, rap, sing & talk ! My man was hitting it....beat and vocals !!!

4 all de old school table beaters from school tables 2 walls and hallways Biggup de breddah don’t 4get de singerz 2!!🔥🔥🔥👍🏿

That lighter is the real mvp for delivering those claps

I'm ashamed of all those clueless kids clearly not recognizing the greatness they are so privileged to witness in person. Smh. This man is the truth!

BRUH IM PLAYING THIS THRU THE SPEAKERS LIKE ITS A ITUNE SONG PLEASE RECORD THIS INTO A TRACK

This is in my Playlist 2021..heard it again today and I still watch it like it's the first time with awe. Get that man a record deal and put that lighter in the Guiness Book of World Records for being the strongest lighter even made in mankind!

Still rocking this in 2023❤

real music does a soul good

Bruh in the black shirt was freestyling some FIRE in his head!!! Either that or the girl next to him dont love him like she say she do 🤔🤔🤔

Omg I watched this years ago and forgot about it but always remembered the song. For some reason my brain always told me it was a john legend song that I was never able to find again..

That audience was so disrespectful, smh.🤦🏾‍♂️ Except for bro in the back, shout-out to him.💯

I hear some John Legend in his voice. You got me snapping my fingers and smiling. Extremely talented brother!

2023 anyone? We gotta start promoting pure talent instead of this stuff that's mainstream.

We need to get back to this kind of music

Even mutes curse words for the kids, way to go, pure talent

wow I went through the shit for 8 years and he took my feelings about the situation and put it in a song STR8 🔥🔥🔥😩 please somebody sign this man so I can listen to him in my car 💯🎧

yo someone help this guy actually make this song official. not sell it to someone else to sing, have THIS guy sing the song

Pain , got me reflecting on my relationship 😔 🔥🔥🔥

Soul. Keeping in key, singing with control, AND keeping a beat. Dude's a natural. That's a gift from Yah.

I come back to listen to this every now and again. It’s still fire 🔥 and give me the same skin crawl of amazement every time!!!!

If this was actually a recorded song it would blow up ❗️

Black dude only kid that know what good music is 🗣️💯🔥🔥

I have LITERALLY been trying to find this video for yearsss😲🙉 yesss playing this on repeat! Love from the UK

🤯A pencil, a lighter, & a desk... Brrrruhhhh a whole walkn mfn concert😆😍🥰 I❤️IT

when u get mature you like this type of music. only ladies and gentlemen will relate to that. for the rest time will come.

Record deal my ass!!! This talent shouldn't be tainted by record companies.

Felt that in the depths of my soul

We did this during lunch in middle school. 1980's. This was a bit better though. Maybe alot better.

This is one of the best clips on KZfaq

Pure talent. That beat was siiiick! It's stuck in my head too. I wish I could do that.

The song was great but at the end he zoned out and you could see him truly vibing....that was priceless💯

Wow, he need to make music, sounds fantastic 👏 👌
