“ when you bury me make sure you get my good side”😩✊🏾
I love this!
Thanks for the support everyone!!!
🙌🏾
This is more then a poem, it’s reality
You can say that again
deadass he telling a story
@@ashantiboo facts
yes his poetry was amazing but can we talk abt his aesthetic?? like YES to the glitter on the face and hair, the rings the tats the DREADS he’s like .... perfect what
um that's not the main focus but OK
And the black nail polish! Beautiful!
I needed this to smile today! Thank you ❤️
the kind of video you have to watch again and again to take it all (the aesthetic and the words) in
@@dauphiina no dipshit
I haven't listened to a Button Poetry video in a minute so the silence at the start made me question whether he forgot his lines, only to be left shook-ked by the truth mic he just dropped so hard, even those deemed worthy to pick up Mjölnir, ain't picking it up.
Thank you so much!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
@@GabrielRamirezPoet No...
thank you so much! One of favourite poems, on Button Poetry easy.
Poison so thick you could call it an accent well damn
I was surprised when I wrote this. Felt like it was waiting for me.
Gabriel Ramirez Poet woahhh it’s you! great job dude
@@olivia-ux9iv thanks!
Gabriel Ramirez Poet I got chills! Amazing writing and performance. Great job!
Had to pause the video n write it in my notes
"I can dance despite the bullets."
Damn.
Actually I didn't get this line, could you explain it to me please ?
“In my sometimes church body” talented. Really great artist.
makayla chambers same
What did that part mean?
Patchy Rye I took it to mean that he sometimes went to church, but I’m not sure.
PhoebeFay RuthLouise No, it means sometimes his body is a holy thing, something beautiful in spite of/because of his blackness.
@@jasminnicole5293 ♥️♥️♥️
WOW! Wow, wow, wow! At first I thought he would speak, and then I thought maybe he wouldn’t speak at all and it was just the title, and then his poem broke my heart into 1000 pieces!
“I spent all day with the mortician. They liked me! They saw my headshot.”🔥😭
What an insanely powerful poem. This speaks volumes of what our country seems to be now.
Fucckkk, the “mothers burying what they thought would be the rest of their lives” really fucked me up
When anger and injustice meets talent ... WOW
When U hold ur mouth, shed a tear, then finally get ur breath back 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
"Will the sequel be about my mother?"
Damn!
I love Gabriel. He is actually a really sweet guy.
Who's saying otherwise? He poured out that vibe by the glassful!
I literally started crying during his display of elegant,powerful,king like spoken words of life.
youtube should really invest in getting more than one thumbs up button 😿 or nah?
"When you bury me, make sure you get my good side", Jesus as a mother of sons, that line sends chills through my body.
Yuppp... still brings tears like the years back when I first listened to this angel
Gabriel....
I cried when i watched this.
I've never been more proud of A person I don't know.
Thank you. This is A gift.
Thank you fam!
I love this poet and the glitter in his hair and his painted nails are amazing and beautiful as is his skin
I'm half black & half white. And sometimes feel like I'm "not black enough" to have this same very accurate stance that was portrayed through this poem. At least not publicly. Hearing this and wanting to tell him GO IN helped some....
aunesty jones beautifully explained, thank you 🙌🏾
Honey.....one day a bunch of men sat down and with the utmost ignorance defined that black meant 1/8th african ancestry. They don't get to decide and neither does anyone else. Any form of African ancestry will give you some struggles. Just be who you are or who you want to be.
My lil bro gabby !! Always had this talent since hs. Always proud of him, his work n drive.
That was Sooooooo GOOOD, Literally inlove with this man. infinity snaps to you my brother
this collaboration of words is everything
This was beautiful im sad and reflective ...listened to this 30 times the tears are gone now
This is America. Happy Independence Day to everyone as we continue to strive for freedom and justice for all people. One love.
easily one of the most well written slam poems i’ve ever heard. unbearably powerful stuff
“Ascending into some rushed and forgotten heaven”
🤭😭
I love his poems so much. I’m so glad I met him at word. Sound. Power 2019
"When you bury me, Make sure you get my good side." 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The power this packs with the fact that it wasn’t a poem made to attack anyone besides the injustice in this country was enough to cause me to shed a tear or 2 😭🤧👏🏾👏🏾
This was unbelievable! Powerful! 😭😭. I'm shook. You can feel the power!
SHOOK is the word....just shook to the core. I love it
Wow man. It hit to close to home. Very underrated.
He always has the best poems
made my day
Gabriel Ramirez Poet I’m glad!
I got goose bumps 😖
TheSapphireRabbit me too

The tears you brought in me came from a place of beauty.

Wow this is moving ! I love his passion in his voice and acting ‘do I look the part yet?’ really stuck with me.
I’m a poet and a writer myself and just set up my channel ! I’m a mum of 3 in the uk , looking for your views and comments hope to see you there :)
Beautiful and so sad at the same time!!!!!! You are a great actor!!!!!!!
This deserves so many more likes then it has.
This is extremely underrated
Revisiting this during the protests and pandemic hits differently
Hell yeah there needs to be more of people like him in this world then it will be a good place
Watching this at 3 am with tears👀
Saw the title I said "I know this finna be gooood"
THIS. I had to rewatch it send chills down my spine 🥺
I thought this was Luka Sabaat 😂
Paris i was just thinking... why couldn’t they have made Luka on Grownish a poet instead of a fashion designer/stylist 🥺 that would’ve been lit if he was a poet.
Or grownish could've booked me lol
Gabriel Ramirez Poet i already posted on twitter saying grownish should. Maybe you could be Lukas little brother 😅 and that would be better to watch on any given day, honestly love your poetry. 🥴🥴🥴🥴
Hell nah lmao
@@GabrielRamirezPoet hell yeah
Love this, so deep and genuine 💜
WHO DISLIKED THIS VIDEO like i honestly thought it was true and really well said but i guess thats just my own opinion
Bring it Out My Brother 👊🏾
He is adorable!!!😍
"Cause of death. Racism pft"
It's said that he said that like this has been going on for years,which has, and still shouldn't be happening
i love his poems
Speechless....
I have 4 words. Powerful and unfortunately true.
Necessary. Well-crafted. Brilliant.
I truly cried to this one the goosebumps our unreal.
💔 - excellent Poetry 😢
Only two words. "Damnnn, OKAY."
I'm not crying
Bro that was dope as fuck. That had so much heart. Well done sir.
literal goosebumps everywhere holy shit
God, his words, his passion, his rage, I fucking felt it all in my racing heart. Speak it brother 🤎
Powerful. Breaks my heart. :(
WOW. just wow. this was gorgeous.
Beautiful, so well written.
I’m a white girl in Australia. I’ll begin with that. Because I’m starting to understand that somehow that matters. You have had to deal with feeling like an outsider in your own birthplace. Your culture disposed of. I had a dream that I was a black man on a bus wearing a white paper mache mask. And the feeling this man had, in my dream, that black man I dreamed I was, felt the most despairing loneliness. Something I haven’t felt in my waking day. And I don’t even know how to begin to console that. I still feel it every now and again and I feel sad. Teach me so I can know.
What do you want to be taught?
Wow! So good!!!!
CHILLS!!!! this guy is amazing
Amazing piece of art. Powerful
I felt that in my soul!
What an artist. he. is. beautiful.
Yassssssss ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Damn.. I got chills
So so powerful!
As a mother of 3 boys I really feel this
Chills!!!!!!!!!!!!
I cried
Goosebumps!!!!
A very interesting poem and yet so real
Damn, sorry I'm late but I heard it. These youngster's are AMAZING❣❣
This is so powerful. Well done
Cleared my UA-cam because I was tired of the shit I keep seeing, only to get this recommended after. Something I had watched when it was first posted, but watching it again today hit a different point. I used to love watching and writing, this has added more to me now. I didn't really understand it the first time, but now I get it. And as much as I wish I had gotten it then too, I get it now and I need to take action for those who were silence. And make more noise not only to be heard but to be seen for who you are and valued. You are worth it, we are worth it.
This is so deep.
About to this for my school's talent show....maybe the sleep people will finally wake up and see the real world
i love his nails !
Wow!!! Amazing!!!
I love this
ever amazing
Wow that was so powerful
Incredible
This broke my heart
Good Poem and passion.
Thanks!
