Just because he changes the definition don’t make you a fucking gangster. So many rappers want to change the definition to what they want the shit to be
Never EVER sell out on us, Merk. You put your Heart and Soul into your music, and you keep it 100% real. The vast majority of the hip-hop industry doesn't do that anymore. We need more rappers like you, dawg.
@@wario4417 born in 85. And yes some put their heart and soul Into it back then and loved it as a passion , but def not the majority. And nowadays it’s even way less.
Merk your awesome dont sell out i listen to your music everyday hits home as im a landlord ;) came up from the basement had nothing all my life grew up on the streets stay 100 much appreciated and respected thank you for your music keep it coming.
@@kriscolereid I don't consider drake a rapper he's like R&B or soft jazz lmfao 😂 ain't nothing gangster about Drake I know kids that could whoop Drake lol
"i dont call it a mistake if i learned something", i tend to ask it to others as a question 😎and this has been my life code for sometime,dealing with some issues life threw my way, difficult to keep balance but we keep working, and thank you for your work brother,one moment at a time🐢peace and love🕊
Everything Merk puts out is straight 🔥. Been listening for a good while now and haven't heard a single song I don't connect with or like. I've never even seen a negative word from anyone on any of his shit. Keep it up Merk, everyone in the world needs to hear what you got to say.
Yes please!!! Many Men back in the day used to hype me up when I wasn’t calm , now I’m a calmer person and to have these two artists come together would be EPIC!!!
@@kris4457 i would say epic but that would be an understatement for a remix for many man by 50 ft merk they wouldnt even come close to startin a new era with bang or fire it would have such a whole new meanin that they will have to hit the books to come up with a word for them together straight up
@@chucklesthadon1917 yes i no that i forgot to put not jus anyone from canada could a remix with 50 on this song with his lyrical flow and with this beat come one man you tell me you could not agree and il take everything i wrote on this release off the page straight up bc these 2 would destroy it so bad that i dont have words to explain it
Just so you know, sometimes young kids get into old music, in my case, I am 60 years old and live in the UK, the talent and truth of this artist are off the scale (The last Time I got this interested was Immortal Tech) years ago...Now working through back videos...my hat off to you sir. (Never think us old farts are all sitting watching propaganda on the TV).
No one believes me that Merc actually listen to fans and had small small conversations on RU-vid videos and responding to fans or stupid Facebook.. he’s on fire 🔥🔥and wish I could keep to his on repeat without advertisements , he is a true artist that connects with his fans! Ever since day one he came out I loved him and his retakes also of other songs he made this one AWESOME as always! In his own words! Keep on keeping on Merc!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
@@rev.jeremiahkazungu9468 you need to get your Spam under control thanks for trying to comment on something that had nothing to do with you! Have a blessed day, afternoon, evening, or even night or life. Byeeee lol Felicia
God damn these lines be smackin *"I got PTSD from the shit I did in my past I keep an eye for the snakes I know they hiding in the grass that's why im naturally nervous they wanna grab what's on my plate"*
Merkules music has gotten me through a lot and I can relate because of my past and they way u grew and how people didn’t believe or have faith in me now I’m amazing in cali doing me
this quality shows how much Merk has improved his craft by learning pieces from all the greats and made his own style with years of consistency and practice
Yo this shit is fire proud of you brother and all of the success you have had in the last couple years, to be where you are now to where you came from, definitely inspiring and motivating keep doing your thing brother, stay hustling, stay strong and as always stay safe!!!!! ONE
Man this hit my heart.... Right out my mouth.. you put my feelings right there. I looked for the words and you laid it out there, pretty much how I feel. Thank you brother... I can't say it enough. 💯
Had to replay this back-to-back because I needed to make sure my brain and ears were still working right and not completely melted off by this straight up FIRE 🔥🔥. Shout out to you BIG MERKULES from The 805, Central California. Never once been disappointed by a single one of your songs! Keep it up, can't wait for what you upload next 💯💯
I’m so glad to see you stuck to what you love Merk! I remember the first time I found you and and was taking to you about your music on Spotify. Your still killing it man! Nothing but love and respect bro! Never give up! One of my favorite artists!
Merk you are a legend for this one for real, thank you for being such an inspiration. Spitting us some real shit in your bars. Your melodies are crazy and this was a great mesh of melodies original and new. If we can get up to Canada somehow I'm praying we can get you on a cypher one day.
Love this song, here is the lyrics, enjoy: Why the fuck is everyone pretending that we friends? (Wow) I know they just wanna benefit off everything I've did (uh-huh) 'Cause they know if they don't that means they're never gonna win But where the fuck were they when all I really had was fifty cents? (Huh) I'm surrounded by these cowards so it's hard for me to trust That's why my guard's forever up, I swear to God I'm going nuts (argh) And this is therapeutic, I put my life on every track So don't try to shake my hand when there's a knife still in my back (argh) I got PTSD from the shit I did in my past I keep an eye out for the snakes, I know they hiding in the grass That's why I'm naturally nervous, they wanna grab what's on my plate But that's what happens when you've actually been stabbed right in your face I'm tryna act like it's okay but it's a battle every day Had no cash to get no chase so I had to drink it straight Now I'm a rapper with a name, in a mansion with a chain Well, I grew up around gorillas, it was planet of the apes (argh) So what's gangster? Gangster is providing for your family (yeah) Gangster's when your kids are happy to call you daddy (that's right) Gangster's when you don't have to act like someone you isn't Gangster's when you warn these kids not to become a new statistic (one hundred) Being gangster is a lifestyle, it's not a religion (nah) So let's keep it gangster, I just explained the definition (yah) And if you don't believe me, okay, show me the evidence 'Cause I ain't scared of no one but I'm respect by many men I been through a lotta bullshit, seen a lotta hard times I made it out by myself So I'm not the type to fake shit, you see it on my face, yeah No matter what, I'm myself So you do you and I'll just do me Mister look in the mirror and wonder who's he I don't run from my past when it gets too deep I don't wanna live my life that way I was partying a lot but what was I celebrating? (I don't know) When I pick up this pen it's my deepest state of meditation (that's right) I wish I could see the look on all your faces when I made it (I'm happy) Went from a tenant to the landlord, I came up from the basement (yup) Living dangerous taught me reap what you sow, life is too precious (facts) Told my demons please leave me alone, I've learned my lesson Don't say only God can judge me 'cause I see things clear (uh-huh) Stuck to rapping or they'd give my fat ass a bunch of years (real shit) I don't call it a mistake if it meant that I learned something First Canada gave you Drake, they didn't see Merk coming (not at all) Scared to face all of my fears, I was just [?] running Now it's 2022 and I swear it's my turn, fuck it I know it's hard as it is that my heart is too big So when I wear it on my sleeve then I'm a target again (oops) Now all these artists make a profit when it's not how they live 'Cause all that matters to them's how big their following is (corny) So trust me if you wanna have that energy then keep it all (uh-huh) Those friends I lost you're better off to never talk to me 'Cause if you set me up, I'll bet the odds I'm stepping off the deep end I been through a lot of bullshit, seen a lot of hard times I made it out by myself So I'm not the type to fake shit, you see it on my face, yeah No matter what, I'm myself So you do you and I'll just do me Mister look in the mirror and wonder who's he I don't run from my past when it gets too deep I don't wanna live my life that way I been through a lot of bullshit, seen a lot of hard times I made it out by myself So I'm not the type to fake shit, you see it on my face, yeah No matter what, I'm myself So you do you and I'll just do me Mister look in the mirror and wonder who's he I don't run from my past when it gets too deep I don't wanna live my life that way [?] Please show me the evidence Ain't built like me, dawg, I'm on fire right now I'm that motherfucking guy right now Who's next like me?

I don’t care what anyone says I’m very picky with both beats and lyrics and MERKULES is and will always be that greatest of all time he keeps getting better and better and speaks that TRUTH !!!!!!!!!
Sooo Fire my guy you never cease to impress me Congratulations on getting clean and sharing you story your an inspiration to soo many I ve been clean 3 years and you have helped me thru some of my darkest times Keep spreading the light
Fuck yeah, this is dope. I have anxiety as well, shits crazy how it can fuck with your head and body. At work I got you on repeat, hearing songs from the earlier times of you rapping. Merk is the goat of 2022 and probably years to follow, hell he's been the top since he started.
