Joey Bada$$ - "Land of the Free" (Official Music Video) 

"Still got the last names, of our slave owners" powerful

Everyone always say Big Sean is underrated getting paid millions and everyone talking about him, while Joey is the real one getting slept on.

3 years later this song is more relevant than ever

The lyrical content in this song is so fucking good.

Joey dancing in front of the bullets was so fresh lmfao.

1999 fans where yall at?

"Can't change the world 'less we change ourselves Die from the sicknesses if we don't seek the health" words closest to my heart.

This album deserved album of the year

My boy steez bumping this in the clouds r.i.p

pac be smiling up there.

"still got the last names of our slave owners" that hit different. Being black myself I just recently traced my last name to a plantation in South Carolina. Damn, super conflicted about that

Metal-head here. Decided to check out this song to see what perspective they offered on the current situation. Gotta say, the lyrics and the way they are embedded in the rhythm made me connect. The victims truly are speaking up for themselves like never before. They won’t be victims forever. Not even for long. I can hear it in this song.

He's been underrated for way too long

The more u listen to this song, the better it gets

It’s saddening when this song is relevant now more than ever

The power of this song is overlooked, this should've won album of the year 🤞🏽

One of the only young rappers with actual Bars imo

Damnn so we all just gon act like Joey ain't just drop a classic🤔?

I go to a universty, and I have done two essays on this song. One in my intro to music class, and the other in my humanities class. This is such an inspiring song and I encourage everyone to listen to it and support Joey.

One of the best rap songs of this generation. It's literally perfect. The flow, lyrics, symbolic meaning, while stressing the issues we have in our society without being corny. The music video actually has depth and a lot of meaning and again very symbolic. This is music you can tell a lot of time and thought was put into it. Very high quality production through and throguh Very well put together Joey been listening to this for 4 years!

Capital steez is smiling right up in the clouds.

I really need a Joey bada$$ x Kendrick Lamar collaboration.

I remember telling everyone about this album and it got overshadowed by DAMN, this album is universally better

This album was slept on

It’s unreal how slept on Joey is. He is simply one of the greatest rappers of ALL TIME. Period. Yet hardly anyone knows about him.

This is what Steez would have wanted #RIP47STEEZ

“The land and the free is some free loaders” Joey Badass THAT’S FACTS!!!💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

We need this more then ever. Black is beautiful and black is strong.

This is one of the most powerful songs I've ever heard

Steez would be fucking proud man. Not just for Joey, but for how far pro era has come.

Why this guy is so UNDERRATED, I love him 😍

7 years later is insane…time flies! Let’s be the change we want to see in the world 🌎 thanks for the reminder Joey.

Yes bro I see he has Black, Hispanic, and Muslim, speaking for all 💯🙌🏾

Most underated rapper

This song hits differently every time I listen, btw its 2022 and I'm here still.

watching this now is even more heartbreaking then 3 years ago

the best part is from 0:00 to 4:50

"The Land of The Free is full of freeloaders" -Joey Bada$$

They don’t want us to get together, because if we get together, we are unstoppable!!!!!! Look at what we did, still doing shit with a smile on our faces. God made us, we are furious, are you listing to us?!?

this song helped me in juvenile detention had my counselor print these lyrics for me

The one with the guilty conscience will be the first to not see this as truth

this song/album deserved a grammy nomination without a doubt..keep doing your thing joey, the recognition will come..

The most underrated artist in the history 2024 who’s still here?

[Intro] Yeah, you know sometimes I think They don't truly understand me, you know Cause they don't, yeah, uh [Bridge] Can't change the world unless we change ourselves Die from the sicknesses if we don't seek the health All eyes be my witness when I speak what's felt Full house on my hands, the cards I was dealt Three K's, two A's in AmeriKKKa I'm just a black spade spawned out the nebula And everything I do or say today that's worthwhile Will for sure inspire actions in your first child I'll begin my verse now [Verse 1] Sometimes I speak and I feel like it ain't my words Like I'm just a vessel channeling inside this universe I feel my ancestors unrested inside of me It's like they want me to shoot my chance in changing society But how do I go about it? Tell me where I start? My destiny rerouted when I chose to follow heart You told to follow suit, but tell me what it do for you? Except weigh you down, now you trapped inside the cubicle They built for us The first step into change is to take notice Realize the real games that they tried to show us 300 plus years of them cold shoulders Yet 300 million of us still got no focus Sorry America, but I will not be your soldier Obama just wasn't enough, I need some more closure And Donald Trump is not equipped to take this country over Let’s face facts 'cause we know what’s the real motives [Chorus] In the land of the free, it's full of free loaders Leave us dead in the street to be their organ donors They disorganized my people, made us all loners Still got the last names of our slave owners In the land of the free, it's full of free loaders Leave us dead in the street to be their organ donors They disorganized my people, made us all loners, yeah [Bridge] We can't change the world unless we change ourselves Die from the sicknesses if we don't seek the health All eyes be my witness when I speak what's felt Full house on my hands, the cards I was dealt Three K's, two A's in AmeriKKKa I'm just a black spade spawned out the nebula And everything I do or say today is worthwhile Will for sure inspire action, hold up, yeah, uh [Verse 2] Trickery in the system, put my niggas in prison All our history hidden, ain't no liberty given We all fit the description of what the documents written We been lacking the vision and barely making a living We too worried to fit in while they been benefitin' Every time you submittin', we all guilty admit it The Lord won't get you acquitted, but you still ask for forgiveness Put opiates in syringes then inject his religion How many times do I gotta tell you I'm a man on a mission Many times I gotta tell you I don't need no permission A human with super vision, ain't no livin' condition I'm reaching out to my children, just hoping that they will listen Start a new coalition against corrupt politicians It's not enough pots to piss in, too many murder convictions Another family evicted, another black man a victim That's as real as it's getting, you should take recognition [Chorus] In the land of the free, it's full of free loaders Leave us dead in the street to be their organ donors They disorganized my people, made us all loners Still got the last name of our slave owners In the land of the free, it's full of free loaders Leave us dead in the street to be their organ donors They disorganized my people, made us all loners, yeah [Bridge] We can't change the world unless we change ourselves Die from the sicknesses if we don't seek the health All eyes be my witness when I speak what's felt Full house on my hands, the cards I was dealt Three K's, two A's in AmeriKKKa I'm just a black spade spawned out the nebula And everything I do or say today is worthwhile Will for sure inspire action in your first child, yeah

Y'all don't like the new joey? This shit heavy af 👀👁

"Still got the last names, of our slave owners" Damn dude.

Coming back to this after what happened at the Capitol yesterday. Crazy how this song still relates today

savior of old school hip hop

''They disorganized my people made us all loners'' damn straight facts

✊✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

Tupac would be proud of this man

'Still got the last name of our slave owners" shit gave me chills!!

" We can't change the world unless we change ourselves. Die from the sicknesses if we don't seek the health "

It's times like this where To Pimp A Butterfly and All AmeriKKKan Bada$$ are the most important and relevant rap albums.

The message. The artistic visuals. Exemplary. Thanks Joey.

Old Joey, New Joey. Both Intelligent and Groovy as fuck.

Land of the free >>> This is America

I heard this song when I was 16, now I’m almost 21 and this song still and always will be relevant no matter what era I’m in.

Nothing I can do to not cry at 3:07... just beautiful music. A classic. Peace & love to all! ☮️

Joey badass the goat 🔥💯

Joey is to the East what Kendrick is to the West

Much respect for Joeyy. I pray he lives long enough to continue dropping fire hits. And we the fans too, I mean we deserve to grow with our boy. A like is a toast to that👍

Still relevant. One of the best songs I've ever heard. Good job Joey Badass.

This video is what Kodak Black wanted the tunnel vision vid to be hahahahaha.

AABA gonna be a classic, no doubt!

This song gives me goosebumps, especially the beat.

the message been sent a loooong time agoooo LOVE YOU JOEY .! thank you!

Let's bang this to 100M

i am from poland, my english is weak, but every evening, i spend 1,5 h to translate joeys verses, lit af. my friends always tell me to switch song to normal music when i play badass, daamn , this is normal music

This is what happens when you’re prepared for the test.

Joey really got his third eye open, after leaving high school your mind is thinking what this songs really saying..

Lets be honest there isn’t a single bad song on this album

These lyrics... the opposite of mainstream and stupidity

I'm glad this is the first song that introduces me to Joey. It took me a long minute to tune in but I'm here

Everyone in the comments just needs to focus on how good this song is and how powerful of a message it brings across, don’t pick fights in the comments, that just takes away from the message, and PLEASE don’t say anything in the comments that you wouldn’t say to someone face to face

Tupac and Biggie are smiling in their graves.

this shit need to blow uppppp, 50k views in 1 hour IS NOT ENOUGH

I’ve been listing to bada$$ for like 2 years now and I still can’t get over how good this song is it has so Much meaning

So amazing so powerful! My heart ❤️

why is he so underated ,he has raw talent

This is the kind of music that needs to be heard, not the trash on the radio.

2021 we need more music and r&b songs like this.

The heavy message was given thru this master piece☺☺☺☺

CANT CHANGE THE WORLD UNLESS WE CHANGE OURSELVES

I've been listening to Joey since his album 1999 and he is truly an amazing lyricist. He just getting better and better

1st Time I heard this TODAY & I'll meditate on it but it definitely will be added to my playlist

Thank you so much dad you helped raise me

My hip hop and poetry teacher showed the class this and I just remembered how good this was

this song and joey are gonna be both recognised as classics of the rap game soon, he's not the future. He is the present!

This song always brings me to tears.. never thought a rap song would ever do that to me haha.. it's just pure genius.

Realizing this is 7 years old is absolutely insane

Man in 20 years people complaining about how shitty rap is are gonna say "I miss the classics like Joey". So good.

As a white guy you got me bumpin' this on my porch in the middle of the night fighting off tears, fuck this oppressive system free my people, we're all one people and God as my witness I'll die fighting for your rights to life, liberty, and the persuit of happiness. Joey keep fighting the good fight, it's reassuring to know there are others out there doing it too.

Preach

The historic importance of this is only beginning to be recognized.

Joey Bada$$ is this generation’s Pac, different qualities but always keeps it real.

This is one of those songs that's too deep to make mainstream

Powerful...brings me to tears... well done in every way. Please watch

This is a timeless song with a powerful message and yet Joey Is so underrated💯💯
