It's that Marvin Gaye background for me coupled with Sam Dew's crooning, and the raw rap by Wale. This is, was and will ALWAYS BE A BONAFIDE CLASSIC, hands down! 💖
you probably dont give a shit but does anybody know a tool to log back into an instagram account..? I stupidly lost the login password. I would love any help you can offer me
This Is still my favorite one by Wale. Everything about this is genius. The 80's undertones, cinematics of the video, vulnerability in the lyrics, Sam Dew's vocals, dope musicians. I mean everything. Especially the back and white tone of the video. However the song confirms that life is anything but.... love it.
Masterpiece. The storytelling. The word play. The musicianship of those professionals. The melancholy in Sam Dew’s voice coupled with Marvin Gaye’s sample literally make me want to hug Sam where he hurts. The dichotomous relationship with the home city Wale hails from. The revelation and heartbreak of the losses suffered while finding success. The nod to 70 and 80s RnB in the arrangements. It’s criminal that this song wasn’t even more widely known. It’s beautiful.
The touch of Sam Dew on this song completes it into a masterpiece 🙌🏽👌🏾🤞🏾🙅🏾♂️ If you aint feelin this song something ain't right coz this is a love or hate thing... This touch my soul😌
Look man, I know we give a lot of people the title “underrated” “slept on” but Wale is it. This dude makes soul music. His flow is incredible. His lyrics have substance. Dude has the whole package. I used to bump this back in 2012 on my way home from leave in the military. From NC to NY. Just a whole vibe
Nobody takes the time so soak in the genius wordplay and poetry in Wale's music and that's why is he so underrated. People need to take more time with music instead of just looking at catchy beats and loud bass that gets old in 3 days, this is timeless right here.
0:38 the way sam dew slides into it in the beginning is so smooth man it's amazing and what a chorus! everything about this is perfect and classy af. And of Cours wale did his thing like always, killed it
"They love ya a little different when you're on top"! -Wale One of my favorite lines. Because it's true! People are flakey! Those are pure facts he spoken! 💯💪🏾💞
People know what music is....People dont like when you try to mix a Rap song with a Smooth Jazz R&B beat and use a bunch of explicit words......Why people into Rap dont understand that simple fact is beyond me....Had he used less Niggas and Profanity....Like took the number to 0....The song would be a hit internationally....The Remix os a hit.....And the remix only has the chorus part being sung in it....That should say something right there.....
Hold me tight, let me go Heal my heart, hurt my soul Build me up, break me down Make me smile, make me frown Give me love, take it all away again Give me love, take it all away again
06/28/22 I keep coming back to this and every time I wish I could like it as many times as I’ve viewed it. The band is FIRE. Sam’s voice is everything. Wale can tell a story so well. On top of that, it feels like Marvin Gaye blessed this.
Yep see that's why u don't sleep on those who may have "That vision" but u seeit now though here it is ur watching a world wide Masterpiece he's created with other talents and ur wherever u r leaving a comment and who knows that could've been you actually producing or even in that's video. #LessonLearned #StayUp #Beautiful1
this is what I've been waiting for; creativity, a good subject, good lyrics, good music, not another rap song taking about sex and money...great work Bro..keep it coming
Wale best song hands down. You can feel the emotion in his and his singers voice. The lyrics and beat all coincide beautifully to complete this masterpiece.
I've been listening to this song for over 4 years now and it's the one song I can still feel within my soul. Wale you are a great inspiration to me, I'm a poet and you're my favorite lyricist. I wish you would make more gold like this for our soul and help bring back the meaning in the art. What you make is poetic and deeper than the beat. I wish these young ones would get it smh. I love you bro 👊🏾🙌🏾
Sam Drew has the perfect voice for this type of this song. His soulful voice with Wale's flow is just too dope. i can defo relate when he talks about his friends and where they ended up. Wale definitely has that intelligent use of words I luv dat #dope
I love this song. Wale is a true hip hop artist. He's one of the only artist that can make a song that's can be heard on radio, but still has the genuine and real sound of a true hip hop lyricist this man is definitely an underrated artist. Your true fans know your worth to the music industry Wale. Continue to bless us with you art!

message filled song for we that understand the lyrics and from similar background with Wale. ''seven hallelujahs, ma sutana was clean''. only Nigerians and Celestians can understand
Wale is putting in work. I think he root of real hip hop and soul. I do not think people will really see what he really doing tell later But my man is killing them.
I am feeling this song right now to the utmost. Song is describing my family situations and relationships real heavy. I am perplexed at how the higher you climb in life, the people you love fade out. It's too crazy... Like life playing a cruel joke... Staying a the bottom and people look down on you; Work hard to climb your way up to the top, and people fade off. Either way, it's gonna cost you... smh. Success does come at a price... I wish to God it wasn't true, but it really is... It's a harsh truth.
Wale is so underrated when he's 1 of the greatest of all time an consistent this record is so dope should of gotten him a grammy an played from coast to coast classic record.......ohhhh yeahhh
ive become kinda whatever about him recently but honestly from the experience ive had in my short life the truth is really spoken in this song. Its crazy how some people can put all these emotions and crap going into your life into a song when people like us spend so much time trying to find words for it and make sense of it all. I would love to hear more of this in newer artists and less of the same stuff over and over.
Can we just acknowledge Wale’s greatness… everyone of his albums has so much replay value.. then he cracked the code knowing he needs a few radio friendly tracks but they are always on point and fit the vibe of the rest of the album. Wale will forever live on my playlists salute!
Wale has a true sense of artistry. I am continually impressed by his music, yet he does not seem to be very popular. I think the majority of people just don't take the time to really dissect his lyrics. And Sam Dew is just spectacular!!!!

Years later - this song still gets me
Zinhle Mkhonza shit is magical bro
This song is just downright beautiful. And Sam Dew's unique voice makes it even better.
Ebony Collins unique? I thought that nigga was Miguel when I first heard him lol
Wale raps like he isn't famous with passion. Love this man, fine as hell too!
💯
I AGREE with you love him .
I LOVE this song Sam Dew has a AWESOME voice and tone .
You an't never lied!!!!
This is low key a jam and everyone slept on it!😳
not me wale is that guy
Slept to D!#*N HARD💯💯💯!!
so tru I played this song on my RnB Jamz on my internet Radio last Sunday and everybody thought it was a new song. #Paddyzedradio
High key
I didn't sleep on this this is that shit
Almost 10 years later and this song is still everything! 🔥
Nobody takes the time so soak in the genius wordplay and poetry in Wale's music and that's why is he so underrated. People need to take more time with music instead of just looking at catchy beats and loud bass that gets old in 3 days, this is timeless right here.
We do
They'd rather listen to meek screaming in all his songs without actually saying anything sensible #dumbsimpletons
The most sophisticated rapper in the modern era.
This song gets better and better as time goes on
Omg yes it does I cannot stop playing it, repeat repeat! 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿💕
The amount of the classy swaagg in this song is incredible ♥️✊🏾 masterpiece
Wale's best song..classic
Dee Graves real bars
Yes he makes songs that youll remember
Dee Graves bad is my favorite it has a lot of lyrical depth to it

"They love ya a little different when you're on top"! -Wale
One of my favorite lines. Because it's true! People are flakey! Those are pure facts he spoken! 💯💪🏾💞
These two kings are way too underrated. It's sad how the industry doesn't know great music anymore.
I agree I liked this song the first time I heard it.
People know what music is....People dont like when you try to mix a Rap song with a Smooth Jazz R&B beat and use a bunch of explicit words......Why people into Rap dont understand that simple fact is beyond me....Had he used less Niggas and Profanity....Like took the number to 0....The song would be a hit internationally....The Remix os a hit.....And the remix only has the chorus part being sung in it....That should say something right there.....
Too true, this song was so catchy
Obama knows
Wale is very, VERY inconsistent. When he's good, he's great. The Gifted is an incredible album. When he's not good.... Well.... He's horrible lmao
Hold me tight, let me go
Heal my heart, hurt my soul
Build me up, break me down
Make me smile, make me frown

Shout out to Sam drew he really added a touch to this song that it needed
This is that "feel good" music right here. The beat makes you want to just kick back and vibe.
06/28/22 I keep coming back to this and every time I wish I could like it as many times as I’ve viewed it. The band is FIRE. Sam’s voice is everything. Wale can tell a story so well. On top of that, it feels like Marvin Gaye blessed this.

This song is "Timeless" as we'll hear it forever playing. Excellent Job Wale....keep making that great music. About replay the song again...luv it!
Sam dew has this kind of Marvin Gaye thing

Damn, some fine dudes with class... Voices like angels, positive message.
Please keep spreading the truth to our youth! God bless xo

Love you wale so humbled ! Respect my brother
The hook is so smooth
I am feeling this song right now to the utmost. Song is describing my family situations and relationships real heavy. I am perplexed at how the higher you climb in life, the people you love fade out. It's too crazy... Like life playing a cruel joke... Staying a the bottom and people look down on you; Work hard to climb your way up to the top, and people fade off. Either way, it's gonna cost you... smh.
Success does come at a price... I wish to God it wasn't true, but it really is... It's a harsh truth.
