Circa 2005, I was listening to this song over n over on my cd Walkman on repeat. I was high on meth and I felt something different. Something in the air changed. And it wasn't the drugs. Those stopped working a long time ago. But on March 28th, 2005, this song foretold my upcoming journey in recovery from drugs & alcohol. I can still feel it in the air. 19 years clean from drugs and still counting. Goosebumps, man, Goosebumps. Thank God for feelings.
@user-np3oq4ij6g daang I never knew that Heavy D produced beats at all I thought he just rapped, that's neat. Do you know of any other songs he produced back then in those days that you can inform me with?
My mom passed today and this song got me thinking of everything I’ve been through in life and how she always helped me through everything……I love u mom rest easy
I ain't the captain of the yacht but I'm on the boat I ain't acting what I'm not knowing that I don't! y'all n***** acting like you will but I know you won't!!.THIS IS STILL FIIIIRE!
2009...i got a call and they said my HEART, MY STRENGTH, MY EVERYTHING, MY MOTHER, passed away...this song was playing. If your mom still here, tell her everyday how much you love her...we only get 1 and i miss mines...LOVE U MARIE PETTAWAY
I can still feel it in the air. This was my sleeping pill and morning after pill back in 2009, wouldn't go a day without playing it more that 10times with my friend Tzela. Still in 2024
I miss early 00' so much. I was child , no responsibilities , no internet , just fun outside with friends. Even tho I was poor , that was the best time in my life. Salaam from Bosnia!
Me too man my family was poor but I didn't even notice I remember being so happy going to blockbuster/Hollywood video renting shit because we couldn't afford to buy it or playing tag with my friends and little things like that I live better now but I was so much happier back then
2024 yo I'm still here listening to the real old slaps bro smh, music like this is underrated its sad man we need the real ones back man 💯 my boi beanie Sigel, this is "Real Talk, Not Real Rap"......
@adam brown body language is what he meant by 85% is nonverbal and the line about the moon is a metaphor but your stance is incorrect either way because you can fit all 9 planetary bodies in the distance between the moon and earth's inner atmosphere so if you shot for the moon and made it too the outer atmosphere but not the moon itself you would be amongst stars and by technicality all things are made of star dust so we're all star matter so even on the ground your amongst stars. Hope this break down helps you.
This hit different when you've really been through the struggle. Homeless, stealing just to eat. Nothing to your name. I know that pain. I shed a tear every time I hear this play.
Same love it's a struggle that's why imma make a philanthropy based service for the homeless in my area. I get that pandemic unemployment right now and imma use my bread to norish the community so everyone is good. I went thru nights I didn't sleep well bc my vitals were so low due to malnutrition and I felt gain how can one cope to get a job if their body is giving out ? Noone shud b denied energy to live vitality
This one will forever give the streets a cold chill goose bumps.The message in the song also tells you how much the streets Paranormal anxiety.but this classic will never die
This was my life. I was a heavy hitter in the Northern California area around this time. The birth of my son saved my life and made me turn to a simple life. I miss the vibe, lifestyle and fast money but I live now without fear. Never trust a soul except yourself. Almost fell.... still here.
I love this short, but to the point story. Glad you are still here, taking care of your precious son. Some did not realize they needed to turn their lives around until it was too late, I know . It's been years since I lost, and it still hurts. So big ups to you and yours.
My uncle used to play this song all the time when it first came out. I used to hate listening to it, but as an adult now I can see why he used to play this song relentlessly.
My little brother hate this song and he’s 3 years younger than me. He honestly don’t know how this song effects you. This song is about in my eyes watching who you friends with and who you trust. Also isnomia, can’t sleep cause you afraid something might happen to you. It’s one of Beanies signature songs if anything.
Big Facts! One of the most honest, real rap records of all time. Much respect to Beanie for giving us straight bars and sharing his truth through the music 💯
yeah sis looks can be deceiving, would think u would be a true 'hip hop head' that's a true turn on like a pretty woman with tools under the car hood, hold this 'W' love ❤❤😍😍😍😚😚😚
This played in the movie "Hustle" when Adam Sandler was in the car having received the news that the owner of the 76ers was "dead"... it brought me back here again to listen to this hella classic. 😎🤯
Such a deep yet great song. Beanie basically saying it's hard for him to have peace of mind as he cannot trust the cops, his enemies, but more shockingly, his so-called friends. This song was such a change of vibe in the mid 2000s when most rappers were rapping about easy money and bitches.
This was I think about the falling of the roc soMething he went to bat for rode for you can hear his pain more in that song “average cat” aimed at jay he was hurt “foot prints on the heart fading like waves on the beach”
106 & Park like 05-06 style! I miss that age of hip hop music. Everytime I look up some classic shit and read the comments its the same shit. " Who else is here because of this shit or that shit" It sucks ass!
