The amount of respect I grew for chris on all his raw thoughts is unmatched, this guy chewed up his politicians and their agenda spat them on the floor and wiped the dog shit off his shoe on them.
As someone who has struggled very recently with depression and almost didn't make it out, your music in particular hits me different. It's always so relevant to me at the time. I can' t really explain it, but please never change. People like me, we need people like you. Music saves us.
I can tell you thought this comment thru. It came from the heart and I feel you. Im 24 with a 9 month old and one on the way and I feel like with the times we are in my kids will never see what happiness is and ill never be able to give it to them. We all move forward with hopes this country and the people running it notice us and understand but they don't.
As an indigenous family, i cant express enough how much it means for you to include us in your music. It is so tragic how many are missing. Thank you from the depth of my soul and then some.
Its the people vs the government. if you didnt feel included to the original that is a you problem wake up and see the truth. Your skin or ethnicity doesnt matter anymore the government has fucked us all every individual person is going through the struggle.
>"I can't express enough how much it means for you" >"how much it means for you" >"for you" I don't think that's just written wrong. That's some sort of psychological conundrum.
This song is proof everybody is sick of the BS. U can hear the disdain in each artists voice who remix’s this song. I appreciate all of the real ones putting their spin on this masterpiece.
Bunch of y'all acting like the original singer/songwriter ain't shit..... Give respect where it's due. The original composer of this song. Funny how all these already famous artists hop on and do a remix to make $ off of this average American putting a HUGE target on his back for bringing up the pedophiles that run the world. This man don't have the financial resources for protection/security y'all do... Y'all already famous, money hungry mfs, better give every cent you make, off this man's bravery/balls of steel, to him....
@@Medicalcannabisuknoone caring about the indigenous people honestly. The talk about how great and good Canada people are ,but the facts is they treat and kill indegenous like shit they still do
@@Medicalcannabisukit's not about "liking the indigenous" it's about bring awareness to genocide and the stolen sisters. He brought it up because the indigenous women go missing a lot, and our government and law enforcement basically close their eyes to it. #nomorestolensisters #searchthelandfill - are good hashtags to research on your own. Great question tho.
Thank you for saying the one line about missing murdered indigenous women. I have a grandmother who has been missing for about 15 years and it had taken a huge toll on our family not knowing about her whereabouts or communication. I thank you for shedding the light on a topic that is rarely talked about but yet still happening to this day.
It’s a strange, sad issue…Good luck to you in finding out what happened to your Grandmother…It’s just not right…My father was murdered but at least I know who did it…Like I said, good luck
That line definitely caught me by surprise (1st time ever hearing about that in a rap song) Canada's own unique trail of tears doesn't reach as far as N.B., but the same shit happens regardless of lines drawn in the ground. First rap I'm hearing by this guy, but definitely earned Respect right quick throwin' out that line. Best wishes.
There are far to many sisters who have been stolen from those who love them. I also speak of all my native brother s and sisters we have lost to Fentynal . Pray we can put a stop to all the bs put on our backs
All these remixes are fire! I've never seen a country song get so much attention from the rap community. Merk, Webby, Dax, Burden, all spittin hard truth and pointing out the problems. We all need to unite and stand against the corruption. We have a massive number of people to do it with too.
It's our constitutional right. We can legally overthrow a tyrannical government, but we're all bending over just taking it. We don't have to. It's WE THE PEOPLE, not them the government.

Many people Know It !!!! How dows It feel? Yes i am from Germany We are not deaf , or blind . We are not amused to be Your human Kapital . You Just Can Piss Away .
when i was younger i didn't think of it to much as i knew people got taken... as i got older i realized nobody cared about my missing sisters. now i have a daughter and its all i can think about. my wife was a few hours late coming home from work and i figured she was at a friends house (she was) let that be my daughter and im for sure already lost my mind
They want us all separated, keeps them in power, keeps their wallets fat while ours get thinner and thinner, the moment we all agree they lose their control
This "North of Richmond" song will go down as one of the greats! It's right on every aspect and hits the soul of our Nation and brings us to our knees.
Every remix is a different masterpiece of the original!!! The government doesn’t care about the poor no matter the color of their skin. Hats off to MERC Burden, Chris Webby and so many others who are spreading this message!!!!
Never in my life would i believed that one song can bring so many people together. It took one song for us to open up our minds and speak what we have been thinking for years.
I can’t listen to Merkules without thinking of my uncle who passed away. He’s the only reason I ever started listening and I so wish he was here to listen to this song with me. I wish I had taken the opportunity to listen to his music when my uncle was still around but unfortunately I lost my chance. I hope everyone gets a chance to listen to this song and appreciate the talent and the passion that goes into it
Buddy your uncle listened to all those tracks you missed alongside you just cause he ain't here don't mean he ain't here you're doin him proud bro keep that chin high brotha
As a Canadian also, it hits home and feels like being stabbed in the heart. We are so bullied by the government that our people are divided and ready for a serious fight. Like old style war. I am tired. Tired of everything. Worked always paying into a government (non-optional) program that is not based on how much you put in is how much you get in the end. It also offers a disability pension if you get sick, injured. It caps out around $1280/month. If you also get a widow pension or any other kind it’s deducted dollar for dollar so you may end up with $0 after paying $2500/year every year you worked. That hurts deep. I’m just tired of it all. Seeing this video made me realize I am not alone.
A Canadian taking a song talking about American politics like they're the ones suffering. Enjoy you're free Healthcare and non senile government officials😂
The arrogance of you thinking we don't have problems up here just because you don't understand. Our prime minister has ruined our country. Our national debt is through the roof, interest rates and new bullshit taxes have priced people of their homes and ruined their ability to provide. Doctors are scarce, wait lines are miles long. But hey, you're all that matters right? You must build your houses out of mirrors because all you fucking see is yourselves.
Until people stop letting the media and Hollywood manipulate their thoughts by creating division, nothing will change, unfortunately. Hopefully, at some point, the masses will wake up and see the government for what it is and force change. If not, we're all doomed... regardless of where your political loyalty lies.
Let’s go big Merk!! Your voice and beats on things that matter in our countries is straight gas 🔥 welcome to the rebellion - now let’s get our goofy leaders in Canada and the USA outta office
the government works for us. The people have turned weak, so they think they run the show. little do they know, they pushed to hard and strong men are coming back to take back above countries and protect our, women, kids, veterans,sick and weak. hold the line.
@merkules this hits so hard. Fantastically phenomenal! Thank you. From nobody important and a British Army retired special forces combat veteran (been here 15yrs) in the USA, I just wanna say thank you. Keep spreading that truth, Brother! Much love.
Its absolutely amazing how some regular joe with a message and a guitar can impact the people so deeply. Artists ive never heard of are using this song to show the rest of us that we aren't alone in our views and our struggles. The soul of our nation is slowly being choked to death, its time we stand together and do something about it.
“Some regular Joe” this guy was funded by right wing pundits who paid to have the song plastered and covered by every right wing media outlet. This is not some feel good story where he suddenly went viral off his talent. Even this is controlled
@@jamesmorgan4738 you must be unfamiliar with the tax rates increasing in america by 28% since 2020 when biden first stepped in. Seems to me the country is living in a chokehold
Lost my brother to fentanyl, 4 months ago ,,I found him a day before his birthday he would of been 37 😢,, this song hits hard at home for me and my family and his friends 💔
I know how you feel I lost the man of my dreams my husband to Fentynal overdose. thing was he was overdosed to rob him some a****** decided to overdose him so they could steal his money .where has this world gone too my Lord my heart's with you girl guy brothers and sisters are lost everyday and most folks ignore it all
Words cannot express my sorrow for your loss. I’m on the edge of tears right now thinking about my own sister right now. She passed away in 2017 in a drug related hit, she was just collateral damage, but meth put her in the wrong place. I still wish I could have saved her somehow. Life is short and rough, I wish your brother could give you the huge hug you need right now. I hope you meet him again in the next life.
absolute fire and deep as the day is long. As a disabled vet i truly appreciate those few lines my friend may your cup never empty and bowl never cash.
I've been listening to you for years brother and when I saw this all I could think to myself was it's only going to be fire and we need an artist like you to step in the ring and spread the word. You have made my day brother and in this song you speak nothing but the truth and if people don't like the truth oh well it's the truth! 🔥
I love that so many of you unsigned amazing artists are taking the torch and carrying it further. This flame needs to be kept alive. Great work capturing another viewpoint. There needs to be a huge compilation of these remixes into one long one..... Although it will make me cry, in anger and disappointment.... It's a damn shame.
ive never seen one song unite artists so much to get one message across. this is awesome. this is the third remix ive heard and im sure there are more. its time we take back our lives
@@jeremyphillips6229 I'm counting five too, including this one. Let's compare? See if one of us has heard one the other hasn't and help spread the message. I've got: 1. The Marine Rapper 2. Merkules 3. Black Pegasus 4. Hi-Rez 5. Trump Latinos
@tpatt525_Tiff_ I forgot about high res, then I seen 6 so far. The one you didn't list was Chris Webby.... wait, I mean 7 cuz one of the 5 I originally thought of was Dax and you don't have that listed.
Man you hit it good with the fentanyl.. I get goosebumps each time that verse is coming up, in three more days me and my older brother will have 19 months in recovery from pain killers and what almost took us away from our kids and family was fentanyl. I just wish these kids and adults would realize that even though drugs might make you feel like you're not living your life and you feel like all the pain and bull shit is gone, it's not. It took me too long before realizing this, but we need to speak out.. merkules your music is just great bro
Keep your head up, my guy! You got this! It's evil and destroys more lives than just your own. One step at a time. It takes a strong person to give up an addiction and stick to it. You and your bro have my support ❤💪🫶
I wasn’t looking forward to this but I clicked it… NICELY DONE!!! This was by far THE BEST remix I have heard of this amazing song! Glad you put your spin on it. Thanks for standing up for freedom and being human dude! Very cool
@c0ckhead684 they get reported as missing from reservations and authorities don't want to help because it's "not their problem it's a reservation problem" and they blame other indigenous folk, but reservations don't have the proper, or enough, resources to find them. In 2016 there were over 5k reports but only 116 got logged in the federal database.
All I can say is I enjoy this remix. It represents what the artist who created the song made it for. Everyone struggles. No one struggles the same. But we all do. No matter where you are from, who you are, what you are... we all struggle. We are all (the people) affected , by what some here in this world do. .. #timeforchange
I keep coming back to Merk's version here the most...I cannot say enough how much I love and appreciate his particular message and how he made this video, its very poetic...nothing fancy...just out in nature...speaking to us, as one of us...for us. (Wow...thanks for all the likes and replies, didn't think I'd get that many. Thank You.)
@EntheogenShaman keep your chin up There is a reason you are alive...I'm a recovering drug addict I've been clean for about 4 years now...I couldn't have done it without accepting the LORD JESUS CHRIST as my SAVIOUR..I cannot Tell you how many times I was ready to End my misery and suffering...so here are a few verses in a King James Bible To let you see for yourself what GODs word says about salvation and getting in to heaven The gospel of John chapter 3 the entire chapter explains everything about salvation Acts 16:30-31 Romans 10:9-13 1CORINTHIANS 15:1-4 Ephesians 2:8-9 These are just a few Verses...I just wanted share how much GOD has blessed me spiritually, mentally and physically and changed my entire life and saved my wretched soul! Those verses are not mans opinions but GODs word in writing on salvation Seek ye the LORD while HE may be found and call on HIM while HE is near..🩸☝️🙏✝️
Fire ass shit!! I've been listening to your music since the beginning. Keep up the hustle and stay humble. I had open heart surgery 2 weeks ago, and I am so thankful I am still here! Mad Love for your music. From Northern Michigan
Honestly I have seen, heard some great renditions to this song, but this version is absolutely incredible, deeply spoken and genuinely and brutally honest. All the respect and recognition, hats off to your sir, well done and thank you.
And this is why merks been my favorite artist ....he speaks the truth he speaks from his heart and supports so many great things and makes amazing music while doing ❤👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼 huge inspiration to me 100% I'm 28 been fighting epilepsy since I was 16 and merks music always helps me ❤❤
Stop fearing the fake news, yall don't fear the gov yall fear the fear they push and its all bs lies, literally everything on the news is a lie so you keel obeying them. We can't escape this prison until yall wake the F up and stop thinking voting matters, stop believing billionaires who run for president are here for us when that same billionaire pushed the vaxx, and yall dumb mofos still gonna vote for him next time and just say "just as long as it's not biden" and the other side of the stupid coin saying the same thing "anyone except that guy" if I say his name, some of yall will go snowflake mode on me lol
These are the things they need to teach the youth. They will never know that our founding fathers didn't want big government,... that's why they left England. Thanks for not being ignorant bro, most adults don't know that quote.
You guys warm my soul spreading this like wildfire. Legends as yourself are adding sparks to this. I've been a fan since old town road. Keep pushing. Inspiration is contagious.
Thank you Merk, from another Canadian, love you buddy. LYRICS: I've been sellin' my soul Workin' all day Overtime hours For bullshit pay So I can sit out here And waste my life away Drag back home And drown my troubles away It's a damn shame What the world's gotten to For people like me And people like you Wish I could just wake up And it not be true But it is Oh it is So many years of ignoring the truth So many tears, I let go on this booth I'm drinking this beer and I'm doing these drugs Just to numb all this pain, I don't know what to do It's not just me, only you and I Know that I've been so in debt that I'm suicidal I'm so used to being used That I don't use my head and instead I just use a bottle Put in so many hours we'll never get back Just to collect this check that they turn into tax Maybe next time our kids show up to class You teach them the truth and they'd learn about that We carry this country, it's hurtin' our backs The government fucks us, we're working for scraps No matter what, we're determined to crash Let's purge for a purpose and earn it all back They'll make you a promise, then let you down Plus, these countries are run by some pedophiles And me I refuse to just sit around While they're teaching our children this shit out loud They told us to shut up and wear a mask Just take this vaccine and take care of that On this highway to hell, I've been there and back I can't fit all this shit in a paragraph Fuck 'em! I've been sellin' my soul Workin' all day Overtime hours For bullshit pay So I can sit out here And waste my life away Drag back home And drown my troubles away It's a damn shame What the world's gotten to For people like me And people like you Wish I could just wake up And it not be true But it is Oh it is They supply us the drugs that are killing our kids Then we do nothing 'bout it, it is what it is I'm not sorry, I'm seriously sick of this shit I just packed up and moved, now I live in the sticks Thanks to big pharma we get withdrawal Then the whole world is hooked on this fentanyl Be careful or you might be dead tomorrow Yeah, we're working away at their beck and call If they saw this they'd tell you that this is a stretch But why are we letting 'em get in our heads How is there veterans livin' in tents Cause the cycle has proven to bring us to death Like, what is the reason we waited this long to admit this is all population control Take one look around, this shit's taking its toll But I'm saying fuck it, I'm breaking the mold I promise I'm not being passive-aggressive I'm actually fed up, I'm passing a message I'm tryin' to say that they have an agenda, and we just ignore all the facts that they give us Indigenous women go missing, and what? We supposed to ignore it and sit on our thumbs? It's not 'bout the left or the right or the middle I'm going to war, I will not keep it civil Fuck that! I've been sellin' my soul Workin' all day Overtime hours For bullshit pay So I can sit out here And waste my life away Drag back home And drown my troubles away It's a damn shame What the world's gotten to For people like me And people like you Wish I could just wake up And it not be true But it is Oh it is
i love that Rich Men North of Richmond has spawned so many different rap songs - and they're ALL good! If their is one major critique of the original, it's that it's too damn short! Every remix, to me, is like an "explanation" of the original lyrics. They expand on the original lines and go into the (painful) detail of what the struggling working class is going through. Thank you for this.
You have covered every single topic in such a short song, in a very brave way Merk. Respect. You crushed this and I don't think anyone can top this remix.
Your Voice & Heart carries A Message to be Heard by the Masses Keep using it Merk. Love All the Work U & the Fam put N to get this far. Long Road Ahead, & U'll go Off roadN if need B. Stay Blessed & Bless as many as Possible....

when i was younger i didn't think of it to much as i knew people got taken... as i got older i realized nobody cared about my missing sisters. now i have a daughter and its all i can think about. my wife was a few hours late coming home from work and i figured she was at a friends house (she was) let that be my daughter and im for sure already lost my mind
No one ever does. I loved when Class did Powerless.
As an American 🇺🇸…I support this message of unity…🇺🇸🇨🇦🫡
We are supposed to be brother countries but the rich don’t want us to get along or their power is gone.
They want us all separated, keeps them in power, keeps their wallets fat while ours get thinner and thinner, the moment we all agree they lose their control
Love from the UK. Gave me Goosebumps! Respect to all my brothers in the USA one world rich vs poor!
+1 took the words right out of my mouth. Great job on this one Merk💪🏻 Blasted it on repeat on my way home tonight. Much love from Birmingham 🏴
Note this remix is Canadian!
Its all owned by Britain still!
@@garymiddleton607
This man is Canadian. I still agree though.
Much love from uk Essex area 💯💯💯
This "North of Richmond" song will go down as one of the greats! It's right on every aspect and hits the soul of our Nation and brings us to our knees.
Every remix is a different masterpiece of the original!!! The government doesn’t care about the poor no matter the color of their skin. Hats off to MERC Burden, Chris Webby and so many others who are spreading this message!!!!
💯 thanks #Webby much love, strength and healing #MamaJ
Never in my life would i believed that one song can bring so many people together. It took one song for us to open up our minds and speak what we have been thinking for years.
Nice message at the end.... Word up merc
I completely agree with you. 100%.
Something needs to be done. Its time for a change.
@@WARRIORF150 Viva la Revolution!
Absolutely beautiful ❤️ That went straight through the heart with a lot of Real Talk. I hope people hear this. Much love brother.
Merk did this justice. Speaking facts. Love it ❤
The original spoke facts he just added more like every other artist Oliver Anthony first one to truly speak for the world and how we feel
I can’t listen to Merkules without thinking of my uncle who passed away. He’s the only reason I ever started listening and I so wish he was here to listen to this song with me. I wish I had taken the opportunity to listen to his music when my uncle was still around but unfortunately I lost my chance. I hope everyone gets a chance to listen to this song and appreciate the talent and the passion that goes into it
Buddy your uncle listened to all those tracks you missed alongside you just cause he ain't here don't mean he ain't here you're doin him proud bro keep that chin high brotha
For him break the cycle and do him proud
Thanks for doing this Merk! Glad to see this song touch ppl across the world. Glad to see you repping 🇨🇦, you didn't disappoint.
I used to love going to B.C.
As a Canadian I support this message. Thank u Merk. U did it again. Thanks for being the voice for us. ❤
Canada is even more fucked then the IS is. I feel for y’all.
Yeah, it wasn’t him… it’s another guys song.
@@Dissillusioned_1and? Cant argue with facts
As a Canadian also, it hits home and feels like being stabbed in the heart. We are so bullied by the government that our people are divided and ready for a serious fight. Like old style war. I am tired. Tired of everything. Worked always paying into a government (non-optional) program that is not based on how much you put in is how much you get in the end. It also offers a disability pension if you get sick, injured. It caps out around $1280/month. If you also get a widow pension or any other kind it’s deducted dollar for dollar so you may end up with $0 after paying $2500/year every year you worked. That hurts deep. I’m just tired of it all. Seeing this video made me realize I am not alone.
@@Dissillusioned_1 The chorus and melody are from another artist, but Merks lyrics are his.
Love how this song has given a voice to people of different walks of life and backgrounds the way it has
Keep the movement going merkules to much shit getting swept under the rug
So glad to have a Canadian artist that speaks for us all so grateful for you bro
Tom macdolond to
A Canadian taking a song talking about American politics like they're the ones suffering. Enjoy you're free Healthcare and non senile government officials😂
@@EnginesnAudioTrudeau literally is pushing suicide on young men stupid 😂
The arrogance of you thinking we don't have problems up here just because you don't understand. Our prime minister has ruined our country. Our national debt is through the roof, interest rates and new bullshit taxes have priced people of their homes and ruined their ability to provide. Doctors are scarce, wait lines are miles long. But hey, you're all that matters right? You must build your houses out of mirrors because all you fucking see is yourselves.
@@mymom1080 That dude is a clown, literally just look at em.
Crazy how this one man wrote a song that is literally going to bring everyone back together again
Do we not remember Shaggy?
@@heyheyyouyou5720 Yeah. That was 30 years ago. Back then we could pay our rent and gas.
Until people stop letting the media and Hollywood manipulate their thoughts by creating division, nothing will change, unfortunately. Hopefully, at some point, the masses will wake up and see the government for what it is and force change. If not, we're all doomed... regardless of where your political loyalty lies.
I doubt it man. The left has gone so far left you can’t bring them back.
Be careful for democrats
I pray these songs start a revolution ❤️ cuz that's what we need. Prayers going up. .. Let's do it. Love you all.
SING IT LOUD!!!!!!!!📯🌈💗✊🔥🧙🏽♀️✨🔥
We need it everywhere coz world is ruled by criminals, greetings from Poland my country is sick as USA but poores
Thank you for this! All these remixes of people standing together through this song, is a movement in itself and I'm here for it!
Let’s go big Merk!! Your voice and beats on things that matter in our countries is straight gas 🔥 welcome to the rebellion - now let’s get our goofy leaders in Canada and the USA outta office
Fackn goofs. It’s a damn shame.
❤
Bro 🔥🔥 spot on brother
I hate the liberals/ndp
the government works for us. The people have turned weak, so they think they run the show. little do they know, they pushed to hard and strong men are coming back to take back above countries and protect our, women, kids, veterans,sick and weak. hold the line.
@merkules this hits so hard. Fantastically phenomenal!
Thank you.
From nobody important and a British Army retired special forces combat veteran (been here 15yrs) in the USA, I just wanna say thank you. Keep spreading that truth, Brother!
Much love.
Its absolutely amazing how some regular joe with a message and a guitar can impact the people so deeply. Artists ive never heard of are using this song to show the rest of us that we aren't alone in our views and our struggles.
The soul of our nation is slowly being choked to death, its time we stand together and do something about it.
I get the feeling we are all ready to risk everything to win this battle. Let's fucking go
couldn't agree more. It's incredible the message we can hear when a record label doesn't control the message.
“Some regular Joe” this guy was funded by right wing pundits who paid to have the song plastered and covered by every right wing media outlet. This is not some feel good story where he suddenly went viral off his talent. Even this is controlled
Dude this country is amazing currently under the Biden Administration you need to stop acting crazy
@@jamesmorgan4738 you must be unfamiliar with the tax rates increasing in america by 28% since 2020 when biden first stepped in. Seems to me the country is living in a chokehold
I could listen to this a billion times and still get chills. Love it ❤
Maybe grab a blanket?
That's over 5500 years, good luck.
I'm still short of a hundred but I agree 100%
The king of remixs does it again! Absolutely killed it!
flames bro
I had no desire to even check this dude out, but he spoke straight truth. Gives me chills how good he made this remix
His other compositions are just as real and vital!
If this was your first track with Merk, you are missing out love
Merkules is worth checking out.
Merkules is amazing,real,and pure
Thats just how Merkules is. He is amazing.
You did that ❤
We all feel this pain, this pressure, this betrayal. Beautiful video my dude. Thank you 🙏
Only takes one voice to start a movement. Thank you helping share Oliver's message. This shit gave me goosebumps
MERK FOR PRIME MINISTER!
IM SO HAPPY A PLATFORM IS BEING USED PROPERLY AND MORE AND MORE ARE SEEING!! THANK YOU MERK AND EVERYONE ELSE WHO PUT THEIR SPIN ON THIS TRACK!!!
I want to see more remixes of this song from all walks of man. They said they want us united so let's give em' hell. This is outstanding.
They want us united under them
Great comment
@@blackoak4978no they want us to fight each other so we’re distracted from the fact they are even there!!
Lost my brother to fentanyl, 4 months ago ,,I found him a day before his birthday he would of been 37 😢,, this song hits hard at home for me and my family and his friends 💔
Sorry to hear about your brother prays for you and your family
I feel ya lost my brother to the same shit
I know how you feel I lost the man of my dreams my husband to Fentynal overdose. thing was he was overdosed to rob him some a****** decided to overdose him so they could steal his money .where has this world gone too my Lord my heart's with you girl guy brothers and sisters are lost everyday and most folks ignore it all
Words cannot express my sorrow for your loss. I’m on the edge of tears right now thinking about my own sister right now. She passed away in 2017 in a drug related hit, she was just collateral damage, but meth put her in the wrong place. I still wish I could have saved her somehow. Life is short and rough, I wish your brother could give you the huge hug you need right now. I hope you meet him again in the next life.
Sorry for your loss peace be with you and your family
absolute fire and deep as the day is long. As a disabled vet i truly appreciate those few lines my friend may your cup never empty and bowl never cash.
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
All the different remixes are phenomenal to this song and proves we can all relate and can come to common ground.
I've been listening to you for years brother and when I saw this all I could think to myself was it's only going to be fire and we need an artist like you to step in the ring and spread the word. You have made my day brother and in this song you speak nothing but the truth and if people don't like the truth oh well it's the truth! 🔥
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is absolute fire! Love your remixes!
I love that so many of you unsigned amazing artists are taking the torch and carrying it further. This flame needs to be kept alive. Great work capturing another viewpoint. There needs to be a huge compilation of these remixes into one long one..... Although it will make me cry, in anger and disappointment.... It's a damn shame.
I love the message behind this song and everything all the other artists have contributed to it. We need more music like this
What message? That there is fat poor people who are supposedly mooching off welfare to eat a bunch of Fudge Rounds. Get the fuck out of here.
What a compliment too the original song! Another strong message, keep up the great work Merk! God Bless you and yours from mine.
Miss song like this merkules keep it up you have help me through hard times that’s why as your fans were here to support you
One of my all time favorites remixes right here...bravo brother
ive never seen one song unite artists so much to get one message across. this is awesome. this is the third remix ive heard and im sure there are more. its time we take back our lives
So far this is the 5th remix I've seen, not sure if there is more but I'm sure theres more to come.
@@jeremyphillips6229 I'm counting five too, including this one. Let's compare? See if one of us has heard one the other hasn't and help spread the message. I've got:
1. The Marine Rapper
2. Merkules
3. Black Pegasus
4. Hi-Rez
5. Trump Latinos
@tpatt525_Tiff_ I forgot about high res, then I seen 6 so far. The one you didn't list was Chris Webby.... wait, I mean 7 cuz one of the 5 I originally thought of was Dax and you don't have that listed.
Man you hit it good with the fentanyl.. I get goosebumps each time that verse is coming up, in three more days me and my older brother will have 19 months in recovery from pain killers and what almost took us away from our kids and family was fentanyl. I just wish these kids and adults would realize that even though drugs might make you feel like you're not living your life and you feel like all the pain and bull shit is gone, it's not. It took me too long before realizing this, but we need to speak out.. merkules your music is just great bro
I give props its not easy. Im 8 years sober off pain killers
@@michaelkarch7064 keep it up.
Keep your head up, my guy! You got this! It's evil and destroys more lives than just your own. One step at a time. It takes a strong person to give up an addiction and stick to it. You and your bro have my support ❤💪🫶
I lost my ex to that and I survived…shits crazy out there .. good to hear y’all sober
@@tacobell2104 fentanyl is a prescription pain killer... I don't understand your comment
If there were more artists like Merk taking a stand, things would change.
Song is 🔥
I wasn’t looking forward to this but I clicked it… NICELY DONE!!! This was by far THE BEST remix I have heard of this amazing song! Glad you put your spin on it. Thanks for standing up for freedom and being human dude! Very cool
Thank u merk for the missing indigenous women mention helping spread awareness. I really dig ur music
💯
Yep
@c0ckhead684 highway of tears explains it.
❤❤❤
@c0ckhead684 they get reported as missing from reservations and authorities don't want to help because it's "not their problem it's a reservation problem" and they blame other indigenous folk, but reservations don't have the proper, or enough, resources to find them. In 2016 there were over 5k reports but only 116 got logged in the federal database.
All I can say is I enjoy this remix. It represents what the artist who created the song made it for. Everyone struggles. No one struggles the same. But we all do.
No matter where you are from, who you are, what you are... we all struggle. We are all (the people) affected , by what some here in this world do. .. #timeforchange
Love ya brother. Don't forget. Learn
I keep coming back to Merk's version here the most...I cannot say enough how much I love and appreciate his particular message and how he made this video, its very poetic...nothing fancy...just out in nature...speaking to us, as one of us...for us.
(Wow...thanks for all the likes and replies, didn't think I'd get that many. Thank You.)
Same here!
I'm a suicidal alcoholic so I guess his version resonates the most lol
Wish he’d make this available on iTunes!
Straight spittin truth!
@EntheogenShaman keep your chin up
There is a reason you are alive...I'm a recovering drug addict I've been clean for about 4 years now...I couldn't have done it without accepting the LORD JESUS CHRIST as my SAVIOUR..I cannot
Tell you how many times I was ready to
End my misery and suffering...so here are a few verses in a King James Bible
To let you see for yourself what GODs word says about salvation and getting in to heaven
The gospel of John chapter 3 the entire chapter explains everything about salvation
Acts 16:30-31
Romans 10:9-13
1CORINTHIANS 15:1-4
Ephesians 2:8-9
These are just a few
Verses...I just wanted share how much GOD has blessed me spiritually, mentally and physically and changed my entire life and saved my wretched soul! Those verses are not mans opinions but GODs word in writing on salvation
Seek ye the LORD while HE may be found and call on HIM while HE is near..🩸☝️🙏✝️
Thank you Merk for Repping Canada and the indigenous woman🔥🔥
Fire ass shit!! I've been listening to your music since the beginning. Keep up the hustle and stay humble. I had open heart surgery 2 weeks ago, and I am so thankful I am still here! Mad Love for your music. From Northern Michigan
hope you recover brother. sending healing vibes from over the pond. 1love
1Love @chazthethug
This track is 🔥🔥🔥
Ain’t even going to lie. This is the DOPEST remix of the song 🎶 ❤IT BRO!!!
Ive seen merk evolve over the years, and have to say the man can damn near bring a tear to the eye
Honestly I have seen, heard some great renditions to this song, but this version is absolutely incredible, deeply spoken and genuinely and brutally honest. All the respect and recognition, hats off to your sir, well done and thank you.
Who is the original artist
@jvictorian1617 Oliver anthony
This is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Brought me to tears with how real this is! Thank you for acknowledging the struggle!
Man, hearing merc sync with that chorus sent chills down my back. This man earned his place.
"maybe the next time our kids show up to class, you teach them the truth and they learn about that" this is a dope remix merk
And this is why merks been my favorite artist ....he speaks the truth he speaks from his heart and supports so many great things and makes amazing music while doing ❤👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼 huge inspiration to me 100%
I'm 28 been fighting epilepsy since I was 16 and merks music always helps me ❤❤
Merkules you and Oliver killed it on this version, " Outstanding".
I've heard so many songs from merkules so I know he'd kill it but damn I feel that
Chills upon chills ill stand with anyone willing to make this change let's get up and fight I can't do it alone!!!!
“When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.”
-Thomas Jefferson
that's why everyone needs to protect the 2a and not fall for the shit that guns kill people they don't fuckee up people do
Stop fearing the fake news, yall don't fear the gov yall fear the fear they push and its all bs lies, literally everything on the news is a lie so you keel obeying them. We can't escape this prison until yall wake the F up and stop thinking voting matters, stop believing billionaires who run for president are here for us when that same billionaire pushed the vaxx, and yall dumb mofos still gonna vote for him next time and just say "just as long as it's not biden" and the other side of the stupid coin saying the same thing "anyone except that guy" if I say his name, some of yall will go snowflake mode on me lol
These are the things they need to teach the youth. They will never know that our founding fathers didn't want big government,... that's why they left England.
Thanks for not being ignorant bro, most adults don't know that quote.
If you don't have a valid argument there is always a quote ;-)
@@DerGrosseKommentator and if you don't have a brain there's always a troll to comment 🧌
You guys warm my soul spreading this like wildfire. Legends as yourself are adding sparks to this. I've been a fan since old town road. Keep pushing. Inspiration is contagious.
Amazing Remix
Amazing, cannot get enough of all these remixes. Another great rendition.
You never fail to deliver. Thank you for your music. There aren't many artists that are as relatable as you are!! Keep crushing it!!
The remix everyone needed right now 🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏
I love the original song but this one is absolutely out this world 🤯 keep up the good work big lad 💪
Gave me the chills, thank you for speaking the truth Merk🦉
Dude this song literally gives me chills every time I listen to it.
This has to be the best remix I've heard so far. Merk always killin it. Great job!!
That first verse hits home.
Thank you Merk, from another Canadian, love you buddy. LYRICS:
I've been sellin' my soul
Workin' all day
Overtime hours
For bullshit pay
So I can sit out here
And waste my life away
Drag back home
And drown my troubles away
It's a damn shame
What the world's gotten to
For people like me
And people like you
Wish I could just wake up
And it not be true
But it is
Oh it is
So many years of ignoring the truth
So many tears, I let go on this booth
I'm drinking this beer and I'm doing these drugs
Just to numb all this pain, I don't know what to do
It's not just me, only you and I
Know that I've been so in debt that I'm suicidal
I'm so used to being used
That I don't use my head and instead I just use a bottle
Put in so many hours we'll never get back
Just to collect this check that they turn into tax
Maybe next time our kids show up to class
You teach them the truth and they'd learn about that
We carry this country, it's hurtin' our backs
The government fucks us, we're working for scraps
No matter what, we're determined to crash
Let's purge for a purpose and earn it all back
They'll make you a promise, then let you down
Plus, these countries are run by some pedophiles
And me I refuse to just sit around
While they're teaching our children this shit out loud
They told us to shut up and wear a mask
Just take this vaccine and take care of that
On this highway to hell, I've been there and back
I can't fit all this shit in a paragraph
Fuck 'em!
I've been sellin' my soul
Workin' all day
Overtime hours
For bullshit pay
So I can sit out here
And waste my life away
Drag back home
And drown my troubles away
It's a damn shame
What the world's gotten to
For people like me
And people like you
Wish I could just wake up
And it not be true
But it is
Oh it is
They supply us the drugs that are killing our kids
Then we do nothing 'bout it, it is what it is
I'm not sorry, I'm seriously sick of this shit
I just packed up and moved, now I live in the sticks
Thanks to big pharma we get withdrawal
Then the whole world is hooked on this fentanyl
Be careful or you might be dead tomorrow
Yeah, we're working away at their beck and call
If they saw this they'd tell you that this is a stretch
But why are we letting 'em get in our heads
How is there veterans livin' in tents
Cause the cycle has proven to bring us to death
Like, what is the reason we waited this long to admit this is all population control
Take one look around, this shit's taking its toll
But I'm saying fuck it, I'm breaking the mold
I promise I'm not being passive-aggressive
I'm actually fed up, I'm passing a message
I'm tryin' to say that they have an agenda, and we just ignore all the facts that they give us
Indigenous women go missing, and what?
We supposed to ignore it and sit on our thumbs?
It's not 'bout the left or the right or the middle
I'm going to war, I will not keep it civil
Fuck that!
I've been sellin' my soul
Workin' all day
Overtime hours
For bullshit pay
So I can sit out here
And waste my life away
Drag back home
And drown my troubles away
It's a damn shame
What the world's gotten to
For people like me
And people like you
Wish I could just wake up
And it not be true
But it is
Oh it is
There it is...in a nut shell.🤬
i love that Rich Men North of Richmond has spawned so many different rap songs - and they're ALL good!
If their is one major critique of the original, it's that it's too damn short!
Every remix, to me, is like an "explanation" of the original lyrics. They expand on the original lines and go into the (painful) detail of what the struggling working class is going through. Thank you for this.
I usually don't like someone riding another person's popularity, but wow! You didn't ride anything, you pushed the message just as strong. Great job.
Truest lyrics to date 💯
You the Man Merk!!!!You Always Lace These Remixes With 🔥,We don’t know how blessed we are to have you !!!
Merk's voice sounds amazing with Oliver's. This is such an incredible remix. So much talent!!! Love from Langley, B.C.
Bang this at work nightly thank you merk for keeping it 1000 an never changing for the man!!! Your one of the last few we do this for us!
Dude this whole song is nothing but the truth. Prays keep the good music going for Canada and the great USA GOD BLESS brother
My favorite remix so far. You set it on fire my man! The song carries so much truth ❣️
Insane. Thanks for speaking for all of us!
You have covered every single topic in such a short song, in a very brave way Merk. Respect. You crushed this and I don't think anyone can top this remix.
Joyner lucas could... lyrical storyteller
@corycybulski961 but he didn't or hasn't so......
Thank you for this song
Your Voice & Heart carries A Message to be Heard by the Masses Keep using it Merk. Love All the Work U & the Fam put N to get this far. Long Road Ahead, & U'll go Off roadN if need B. Stay Blessed & Bless as many as Possible....
Best remix of this song hands down. Merked it again.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
