I shared this with some friends of mine (no video, just the music). They listened to about 25 seconds of it before writing it off as "crappy rap music". They didn't even bother to listen to the lyrics and hear the message this delivers so well. The majority of rap music has much more meaning and depth than music of other genres, yet people assume its just bad music. It pisses me off that people refuse to listen to this simply because its rap, despite the message its trying to send.
I fucking hate that shit. My ex hated rap and any song no matter the message she would instantly dislike it. My lil' brother used to do that but now he likes some of the shit I show him. My ex only liked Macklemore, who I do like but it's like what the fuck. Murs has a real message here and I know for a fact her and some of my friends wouldn't even pay attention.
Conspiracy 21 thats the problem. most people dont care who the rapper is or what the message is. they immediately dislike it no matter what. I mean, I may not like some artists, but if they have a good song, I will listen to it. Hating something just because you dont like the artist or the genre is a stupid reason.
Bobby Mguire Can you honestly blame them? With all of the fake ass shit that's mainstream especially. All of the unheard guys or guys like MURS who aren't mainstream popular are the ones that always have the best messages, but are never heard
Two fantastic Murs videos in a row. Thank you Murs for preaching THE RIGHT MESSAGE to the sheep. And thank you Strange Music for letting real artists talk about real subject matter
Hats Off Top To Murs in Reaching All Communities Where Violence Needs To Stop Once & For All...Song Is Very Powerful...Love It Murs...Keep The Positive Coming...One Day Soon We Will Meet That Criteria...God Strengthens All Of Us To Stand Together To Stop All Violence
This is REAL shit...Thank god for MCs like Murs who talk about the issues we're facing in our country and lives and make it musically amazing! Thank you Murry!
Y'all sleeping on one of the best hip hop artists in the game right now. MURS is the truth. Listen to the golden age of hip hop. Him, Tech and Eminem are the ceiling that so many rappers will never reach. Real music for real people. Listen up!
This song has such a strong message. The music is great the lyrics are great. Strange music once again has not failed to get our attention. Great job Murs keep making em listen.
Murs has the perfect message in this song. He addresses the recurring racism in the U.S whilst giving you a broad look into the life of a typical black male, or at least his experience as one. Then he addresses the fact that black people need to change themselves if they want equality, all of this with sick lyrics a sick beat and a beautiful hook. I don't understand why this doesn't have more views.
That one really hit it home tonight. Murs, you've come a long way from playing those shows at first Ave. Rhymesayers Street team forever and I hope to see you soon in the Twin Cities bro!
Great vid and amazing song and message. But I still keep the philosophy that #AllLivesMatter. No matter what race, religion, ethnicity, everyone counts. Strange music gets that
Jake Ryan All lives do matter, no one said they didn't. But right now, we need to focus on black lives because they are continually abused, and oppressed. Not that other people aren't being hurt, but black lives are the most prominent ones being taken.
KarlhiX Issa It was his influence that made it like this. Everything you're seeing is the product of integration into a corrupt system that floods drugs into our communities and enforces racist laws.
Gamestopgirl29 That his influence was a humongous part in destroying our people, Although I don't think he understood the errors of his ideologies and what would befall us after integration.
Menelik Watson Why do you think that? I'm not trying to argue with you, I'm genuinely curious on what you mean but I don't think I'm going to agree with you.
Menelik Watson How could you start one of the biggest controversial movements without even pausing to think of the repercussions, or what would happen if your movement were to come to fruition. His "influence" didn't destroy us, if it did, America would've died when Abraham abolished slavery. If MLK had been allowed to live, he wouldn't be sitting around crying about the "sad state of affairs" we're in, he would do something about it, and he'd do it where it mattered; in politics. Racism, or any "ism" is taught, not born. And when your leaders are corrupt, and allow the beatings, murders, unjust convictions, etc, then we are taught that behavior is okay.
+6laderunner explain kendricks latest success then. this isn't what the industry doesn't think will sell, it is what the industry is not willing to sell. It's one fucked up system interlocked with each other
I think the hook is great and fitting to the song. Only because someone is singing doesn't mean it's a pop song or something. The message is what it's about.
Remember If black lives matter then black lives matter and the color of the killer shouldn't even be a factor. Its not that black lives matter its that life matters and no one person in any position should be able to steal that gift.
JUS WANNA SEND STRANGE MUSIC A SHOUT FROM BAMA WE ROCKN YALLS WORK DOWN HERE GOT THIS COUNTRY GIRLZ GOIN CR8Z THANKS 4 ALL YALLS HARD WORK GETTN THA MUSIC OUT......BANGIN IN THA BOONDOCKS.....HALLATCHI$$$$$$
Only 79 059 views for this Great Song with everything happening in America. People ain't even sharing this it's a shame. People don't support real Shit no more or what ?! It deserv more views for sure !!!
@@perfectneveryworldrosemake2444 This is educated street music, for the educated street movement, it's F'd up with the police are doing, but MF'er what are we doing" the words have burned in my head 7 years later after I 1st heard this album
Good addition to strange man! I never heard of him before he was signed. I just wanna see collabs more within the strangeland murs an rittz or kali an mayday
Control yourself and not your enviroment, be peacefull but also defend yourself and fight the revolution as peacefull as possible. THATS what this song is about.
Don't take this negatively, that's certainly not even close to the direction I'm coming from. Not sure what you mean "Murs before"? At the time of the album he'd already been in the game for 20+ years, maybe you all of that. I'd challenge you to go back and listen to his FELT albums with Slug from Atmosphere, or the album he made directly with Fashawn. All his work with the Living Legends. He hasn't changed that much from my "personal" perspective. Although the production and his popularity has afforded him the ability to allow him to acquire beats from producers with a lot of notoriety. Again don't take this as a negative comment, we both have respect for this artist and what he's done starting from grinding from the bottom of the barrel. Now he's a rapper not a single mainstream rapper doesn't know about. He's a rapper's rapper. Snoop love the dude!
Thank god a musician actually gets it and isnt spewing bs. Like the line where he says "If Black Lives Matter, then Black Lives matter and the color of the color of the killer shouldn't even be a factor". You cant band together as a nation if both are accusing each other of racism. Thats why ^S^ is always the best.
Am I the only one who finds it weird this video isn't blowing up? This is incredible music right here.
Gareth Me too, man. This seriously deserves to be more known.
Gareth, I agree as well. Just thinking that as I passed your comment
Yes but I think it's good that only a select few know
***** i try to do my part by giving everyone i meet a chance at strange music.....but sadly....even thats not enough for what this song deserves
Gareth It's not blowing up because it is music with a message. Radio only plays music to the masses that leaves them brainless...Hip Hop is DEAD!
Murs should be the one getting 35 million views. Not some pop-made "rapper". Fucking love murs!!!!
they call themselves artists, not rappers
To many call themselves rappers these are artists everyone at strange makes masterpieces.
Really am I the only one back here now? Seems like this song matters more than ever now
Most don't know it exists
Share it and spread it. Great song.
I fucking love you Murs
Strange is Good Music!
Saying something substantial over beats! A rarity that shouldn't be rare! Thanks MURS
Murs has always been one of my favorites. This song has a awesome message well written
I shared this with some friends of mine (no video, just the music). They listened to about 25 seconds of it before writing it off as "crappy rap music". They didn't even bother to listen to the lyrics and hear the message this delivers so well.

I hate when people do that, they don't understand real music
I understand I got a lot of friends like that lol.

The woman's voice in this song was so perfect.
This video is criminally under viewed.. a shame.
it is always apleasure to hear some Murs with Belief. THis is a radio hit for underground strange.
Two fantastic Murs videos in a row. Thank you Murs for preaching THE RIGHT MESSAGE to the sheep. And thank you Strange Music for letting real artists talk about real subject matter
Educated street music, Educated street movement 💯
Murs! You aren't supposed to make us tear up...
Hats Off Top To Murs in Reaching All Communities Where Violence Needs To Stop Once & For All...Song Is Very Powerful...Love It Murs...Keep The Positive Coming...One Day Soon We Will Meet That Criteria...God Strengthens All Of Us To Stand Together To Stop All Violence
Im a grown ass man and I cried watching this.
Fucking Amazing music.
MURS killed this one.
This is REAL shit...Thank god for MCs like Murs who talk about the issues we're facing in our country and lives and make it musically amazing! Thank you Murry!
"it's fucked up what the police doing, but look what we doing.." real shit

Murs forever the realest!
Saw murs April 8th great show wish his set was longer your welcome back to Tulsa anytime also tech and Kali killed it
This song has such a strong message. The music is great the lyrics are great. Strange music once again has not failed to get our attention. Great job Murs keep making em listen.
Murs is so underrated!! He's amazing

Another MURS home run out of the park. If this doesn't get the attention it deserves, the world has failed me.
20+ years in the game and still making music with a great message and meaning. MURS is still Making Underground Raw Shit! MURS Rules The World!!!
That one really hit it home tonight. Murs, you've come a long way from playing those shows at first Ave. Rhymesayers Street team forever and I hope to see you soon in the Twin Cities bro!
this is hip hop
Damn Murs. Much respect.
This is how powerful Hip Hop should be! Realness!
Great vid and amazing song and message. But I still keep the philosophy that #AllLivesMatter. No matter what race, religion, ethnicity, everyone counts. Strange music gets that
Exactly! Especially when it comes to kids.
Oh yeah
Jake Ryan All lives do matter, no one said they didn't. But right now, we need to focus on black lives because they are continually abused, and oppressed. Not that other people aren't being hurt, but black lives are the most prominent ones being taken.
Agreed
Jake Ryan That was the point of the third verse, man.
That was powerful. Thank you MURS and Strange.
I love how MURS has real lyrics that often tell a story and have meaning. Keep it up!
Seriously murs is the first artist I've seen make such a direct and intelligent message. My respect for him has escalated to the damn moon.
MLK would definitely cry on a daily basis if he is observing the sorry state of the black community in America. Creative video. Good looks MURS.
KarlhiX Issa It was his influence that made it like this. Everything you're seeing is the product of integration into a corrupt system that floods drugs into our communities and enforces racist laws.
Menelik Watson What are you trying to say about MLK?
Gamestopgirl29
That his influence was a humongous part in destroying our people, Although I don't think he understood the errors of his ideologies and what would befall us after integration.
Menelik Watson Why do you think that? I'm not trying to argue with you, I'm genuinely curious on what you mean but I don't think I'm going to agree with you.

Dawn this song is deep, and he's so right.

MURS is cranking out some seriously good tunes lately, huge bigups.
hoping for another felt album, cuz murs is like a good scotch, getting better with age
Holy fuck I just listened to this for the first time. This song is beyond good holy shit.
Very powerful message, great song, great music video
Damn...MURS gotten way better then he used to be and MNDR was perfect mach for this song.
