Saba - Photosynthesis feat. Jean Deaux (Audio) 

*when you're trying to look for biology study videos but end up finding a masterpiece*

This is not music. This is art.

I vibe with everybody who found this artist and this song... I feel like this song brings similar people together Edit: how did I not know this got 1k likes 🙃 still bumping this in 2020 🧡

Mitochondria is the power house of the cell

How you lonely in a room with God?

How can a song this good can have so little appreciation? Makes me feel bad for all of the great music I might miss 😭😭

This song, on constant repeat.

This shit right here mellows my soul....

6 years later this is still a banger

Addicting hook, chill vibe, shiiit I love it

This shit 2 years old?! I felt like i found some fresh shit loool. Loving it regardless

This song makes me wanna get out there, grind, level up, and be my best self

SABA & JEAN got mad talent.Shout out from South Africa.

Its 2024 an this song still hit different 🎵🎙️🎼🎶☝️hard .

this song needs a video to it

randomly came across this song on spotify

2:00 is unreal... Takes the song to another level

the year is 2023 & this is still a masterpiece.

"I don't wanna fight no one, no contest, I just wanna - undress my conscience." The whole second verse is too good (and the entire song, like damn), but those few lyrics have got to be some of the most artistic words I've ever heard in a song. I am absolutely obsessed with this amazing work of art and these amazing vibes..

man wtf?! its 2020, how the tf did i JUST discover this artist?! maaaaan, talk about talent! Found him on Dreamvilles song Sacrifice. Funny how fast Saba sky rocketed on my MC's list.

2:00 that flow tho !!!

their voices mixes so we'll together i lovee

Saba is so underrated one day he will blow up👏👏

1:26 - I'm sorry, this my fave part

Who still jamming this in 2021?! ❤❤❤

I love reading through the old comments. This song is a masterpiece💗

You reached my ears all the way in South Africa, your that good bruhv

This is my favorite song.

This is perfect. Kinda upset I didn't discover them sooner.

I'm dead bout to cry because of how late I am....

It's these kindsof songs that people like us search for, only we can't find all of them. And when we find the few we know, we wonder why they have such little appreciation.

This is So clean. I literally listened to this at work for 4 hrs straight...yeah, it was like That. Props for this earlobe extacy 💪

I still don't understand how can a person press on that dislike button. And i think i never will. This is a masterpiece.

H O W Y O U L O N L E Y I N A R O O M W I T G O D ?

My soul just chilled the hell out man

love all this harmonious comments under this song

Still banging this song now and forever

Saba said on the PitchFork Festival that this song is his personal favorite track of the album.

Jean Deaux!

Heard this on the radio a few days ago and been hooked ever since!

Best song on the project imao

Got it, I got it, oh Say what you're looking for, 'cause I got it, yeah, ay I got it, I got it, oh I got it, yeah [Hook: Jean Deaux] Oh yes I made it alive, Lake Shore Drive, headed to paradise In this moment of mine, I can't recognize Or see that the glare is right And what you compromise, I almost die I doubt the water is red as mine [Verse 1: Saba] Ay, how you lonely in a room with God? Never slow up, not even a pit stop Praying my niggas'll never get caught Overcame it all, like I'm some big shot Was taught to be a man, up to the wrist watch To the collar shirt tucked, with the front pocket Part of adolescence when they go blossom When your stars align, I hope there's no comet So far it's... Oh yes, I made it alive, I'm on the West Side, still at my momma house The kids on my conscience now, coz the youth dying and it's just more common now Common ground, stuck through it all like we Carmelo Comin' down, high offa life, arrive unannounced Summonin', numbin' the pain of when I'm in doubt, high school My head in the clouds, like I learned about [Hook: Jean Deaux] Oh yes I made it alive, Lake Shore Drive, headed to paradise In this moment of mine, I can't recognize Or see that the glare is bright And what you compromise, I almost die I doubt the water is red as mine [Post-Hook: Jean Deaux & Saba] What are you looking for? I got it (I got it) I got it (I got it) All the thing's you adore I got it (I got it) I got it (I got it) [Verse 2: Saba] Runnin' through my city like a tour bus Hopin' one day I can have a tour bus I can see the planets from my window sill And I tend to tell what is honest I don't wanna fight no one, no contest I just wanna undress my conscience I just met a killer that's bent in his ways Try to raise a family with minimum wage, what can I say? Besides the demons, it's reality for the people that we love And we are the ones that will team up and tee up the party Dead end the school, but they'll show up tardy The audience awfully ready and rowdy I meant it if I said it, you get in writing Got into a science, but write with the lightning Like soil, I'm grounded, the seed has just sprouted [Hook: Jean Deaux] Oh yes I made it alive, Lake Shore Drive, headed to paradise In this moment of mine, I can't recognise Or see that the glare is bright And what you compromise, I almost die I doubt the water is red as mine [Post-Hook: Jean Deaux & Saba] What are you looking for? I got it, I got it (show what you want) I got it, I got it (show what you want) All, the thing's you adore I got it, I got it (show what you want) I got it, I got it (show what you want) Show what you want, show what you want Show what you want, show what you want [Outro: Billy Williams] I just wanna be the plug so my people can eat I just wanna play soccer on rooftops in Tokyo I just wanna find somewhere I don't gotta put a face on for people no mo' Yours truly, Billy Williams

At this point I'm like MAKE A WEAK SONG you finna fill my memory card.

Discovered Saba in 2017 on a road trip to Mozambique. Never looked back

This the song that got me through my 2 last rough high school years❤️

They need to form a duo because this is a masterpiece. I haven't heard a song like this since my parents found neo soul when I was a baby.

This song is such a masterpiece.

There are very, very few songs I can listen to on repeat, as In @ least 50 times in a row, for 7 years without getting sick of it! I have maybe 4 songs like this in my arsenal and this is ABSOLUTELY one of them! Saba is hands down in my top 3 favorite musicians 💚

This is on earth's playlist😁

This is ahead of its time. Seeing rap evolve from rappers who mumble about prescription drug use, watching its influence on our youth. This is deep, this is real.

that intro gets me going every time...

This song restores the soul like photosynthesis restores plants.

i’m gatekeeping this

This is one of the best songs Ive ever found just out of the blue. I love the vibe and I can listen to this song repeatedly, its just that good. I hope to find more songs like this, any recommendations? Before anyone mentions it, yes I have listened to After the Storm and the song is good, but I love this song more.. just my take :)

My Dad worked on this song and I remember listening to this beat at 6 six years old in my basement while watching those Elsa and Anna videos😂

HERE AFTER GOLD WHOOOOOO

2023 was here going be 2024 ❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥 Thank you @noname for bring this Alien King to my ears because he the fifth element.

Went to Bonnaroo last weekend and heard Saba was performing and recognized his name from some Chance songs I think, so I thought I'd check him out. As soon as I approached the stage he was performing at, I fell in love. The sound was so beautiful and the crowd had such a positive and energetic vibe. He ended up playing this song live and from that moment I was hooked. 🔥

this is still one of the best songs I’ve ever heard

I can't believe I'm just hearing this!! "How you lonely in a room with God" 🔥🔥🔥

[Intro: Jean Deaux] Got it, I got it, oh Say what you're looking for, 'cause I got it, yeah, ay I got it, I got it, oh I got it, yeah [Hook: Jean Deaux] Oh yes I made it alive, Lake Shore Drive, headed to paradise In this moment of mine, I can't recognize Or see that the glare is bright And what you compromise, I almost died I doubt the water is red as mine [Verse 1: Saba] Ay, how you lonely in a room with God?

A really good friend of mine that I've always found consolement and comfort in introduced me to this song in 2023.

Such a masterful song.

This song still slaps better than my moms belt😭

It's 2024 ✨

Only music nerds know just how good saba really is 🔥🔥😴

My favorite genres of music are almost exclusively classic rock and folk but Saba manages to be one of the few hip hop artist I really fw. Love you dude, keep up the fantastic work.

One of thee most beautiful songs about LIFE 💜🧩

Officially this song is 6 years old today. Wow

This song has, over time, become my favorite song on this project. It never fails to make me happy.

Shout to Saba making out of Chicago without the violence music and influence , you inspire us as artist to follow your dreams

i never believed in art until i found this song

This song sets my mood very addicting, just st8 replay on my playlist lol

can’t believe this will never get the appreciation it truly deserves. a masterpiece of a song.

Man first time I heard this I was in grade 7 Now I’m in grade 10 time goes by fr fr

I love this song so much! Absolutely beautiful, and the quote at the ending is so meaningful for me and what I’m tryna do in life atm

This track is food for my soul

This is literally one of the best songs I've heard in my lifetime.

I’m only sad that I can’t hear this song for the first time ever again

Who’s heard about him and is not from Chicago? love Saba!! (his rapper name is my real name)

It's crazy to think this song came out 7 years ago and I only found it a month ago

Amazing. underrated.

Try this song during an intimate moment....so perfect🤙

Saba is a genius! Vibin like crazy! check his other work!
