I’ll never be able to listen to this song the same ever again. Mac Millar at the end repeatedly saying “I can’t help myself, I think I need some help.” RIP man.
TASK MASTER So damn deep smh. Rest easy fam, see you on the other side Mac. Thank you for all of your music and your contribution to our world my dude. To be honest I barely listened to his last album, and I didn’t even know that he was on this either...but I kind of stumbled upon some of his records and heard from my girl that he had some issues with his chick...I don’t usually keep up on what’s been buzzing but man it’s such a tragedy and hits close to home. So many good ones been falling off...man God seems to be testing us...anyways I rarely post any reply’s on UA-cam but I guess this is just where that flow has been leading me. May all you be blessed by the best and live a life that you love/love the life you live. Much love to you all. Stay Up. 🙏🏽✌🏽
FunkeyMonkey it’s like weird coincidences/synchronicities {whatever and however people want to label these weird yet seemingly connected experiences} like I just started to get into his last album and I heard the pain...next thing I hear is he’s in another place. Hmm. Just makes you think doesn’t it? I just popped onto here after my UA-cam mix set me off of ILL Mind of Hopsin 7 which to me is such an underrated composition considering how he essentially presented the human condition which is paradoxical and there is no “definite” answer. The way in which he expressed his existential crisis was just so raw and so real. Anyways I digress, I’ve just experienced many losses in a very short period of time as of late and I thank God that I can always turn to music and find some sort of solace and even closure -> to even feeling fresh and new. Mmm when music can evoke emotions and paint pictures/initiate nostalgia etc etc man that’s what I deem to be real music. ‘Without music life would be a mistake’ I definitely agree with Nietzsche with that right there. Anyways be blessed fam. 🙏🏽✌🏽
This video and song is deeper then most people think. Some people are seeing this song as just a turn up, I take a shitload of drugs and party song buts its deeper then that. The song name stands for "don't ruin us god said" sets off a good tone for the song. Then throughout the song he is giving a perspective of a drug addict showing us that they are good, loving people but they just love drugs. He shows visuals of a skull candle burning at 3:55 and roses burning. This signifies that these good people are ruining themselves and dying due to these drugs. Theres also that dude ruining himself in the mirror visual he shows. At the end of the song, he says "no I dont need any of these things to do anything" meaning he himself does not partake in drugs. Then he says a prayer for god to give him health and keep him on the right path. Very good and powerful song once you fully understand it
the one's that can see this song through honest eyes will not hold back tears... Will not sit back and watch this world burn. Ab soul is the realest out there.... We need to all step up our game and follow soul.
to say ab soul doesnt do drugs is an ignorant statement to make, drug use has been a common theme throughout his past two projects. hes saying as a direct message to people, dont fuck up how he fucked up with consistent drug use. this isnt someone clean saying dont do drugs, this is someone who has been/currently is addicted to drugs speaking from personal experience
HAMEED Ziabari Exactly he more screaming out for help if anything. He saying you ain't never seen a junkie so fresh he talking about himself. Him and Q had those epic songs Druggys Wit Hoes. He been a Druggy nothing new.
HAMEED Ziabari Both of you guys are ALMOST right, yes he does drugs and he's saying he loves them and that's OK, but he doesn't NEED any of them to do anything. it's a common theme of his, like in his song "just have fun" he says "do the drugs don't let the drugs do you."
'And to the kids looking up to me for what I see. Know I don't need any of these things to do anything' That's the most important verse of the whole song
I read this comment about a week ago, and now I cant unhear it. 100% the most important line in this song. It's all a vice, and its hardly ever something we truly need.
@Nonchalart TT He's not lying to himself or the kids by saying that. "And for the kids lookin' up to me for what I've seen" are the real lyrics and you have to take note of 'what ive seen'. He's saying that in his position people can relate or identify with the concept of addiction or simply relate/value his perspective. the 2nd part of the verse is saying nothing from drugs to other forms of addiction are needed to do anything in life or needed to have a certain experience/perspective. You don't need drugs to be happy. You don't need drugs to be successful. You don't need drugs to reflect on yourself and try to be a better person. You don't need drugs to love. Drugs can be anything too. "I can't help myself" is part of the whole addiction concept within the song but this verse specifically is meant to stand out and put ab soul on the outside of the concept of the song. The rest of the song ab soul is a guy talking about his life and his addiction. In this verse ab soul is the artist breaking the 4th wall and speaking to the listeners. genius.com/Ab-soul-drugs-lyrics
I fucking love AB Soul. All of his music illustrates the human condition. We live in this world but We are not of it. Although he escape from here through drug use, he remains aware and in the Holy Spirit. Nobody Is perfect but we all are divine & Worthy , worthy of forgiveness, happiness and salvation.
Has nothing to do with any holyspirit,soulo expresses consciousness on a other level And all of us should,we should find out more about our spirituality, third eye and our consciousness not all this mythical truth we have been excepting such as some religions,beliefs and etc
PuhPuhTime btw im starting to see 47 all the time (ive seen numbers like 1111, 222 and such for a few months now), did that happen to you too? i even see it numerous times at once like today i paused a song at :47, my battery was at 47%, i was driving past a house with the number 47 and right next to it was a phone number on the wall that had a 47 in it that shit was crazy
It started for me a few years ago. It's a rabbit hole, follow it and it will lead you to a truth. If you need guidance research Robert Anton Wilson and listen to his lectures if you don't have the time for a book.
@@junitosama3547 guess that's why you're here. Real Mac fans would fucking care because it's what he would have wanted. Obviously they didn't appreciate his music while he was alive and people are def hopping on the band wagon with his music but that's just spending his ideas and dreams, I doubt Mac wouldn't want that
@@junitosama3547 We are all connected, his stories will resonate with others going through similar experiences, or know of someone who is or has. Fame is just a byproduct. Try to step off the pedestal for a bit and join the rest of us in the pool for a minute, water is nice. Ahaha, have a great day.
This song is sad beneath the catchy and appealing sounds. Both verses. The 1st dealing with the footsteps he's following and the second with his ex, the reason she died, the life he's living and the reasons why he's taking drugs now. Escape, because he's helpless under the pressure of his own actions. You have my prayers brother soul.
I love the part where Ab Soul say, "I love everybody that's listening." He really care about his fans. I love you too bro. Keep making these bangers. Raw Talent.
I literally cant help myself. I can't stay away from the escape of reality I get when I get high. Its so soothing to a point where I dont want it to go away
ey man you can quit that shit cokes horrible to even experience when its good coke just like lots of caffeine barely any high when actually coke and pure not bashed with meth or k or speed id be worried to do coke all the time man ya probably getting addicted to some random compound that isn't coke due to some shitty dealer. Hey why not get some proper drugs in ya system some Mushrooms and some coffee and weed my friend let me show you a much better world can be for the free ;D First of all Microdosing every 3-4th day 0.2 grams Cubensis or whatever strain you can get if penis envy or albinos / natural mushrooms consume only .1 to start off with for your first dose of a new batch of shrooms to test quality and be sure its a microdose and not a macrodose as macros tend to be more relaxing as opposed to a micro will boost your energy and motivation .5 can but it will be a lot more spacey and body high type of feeling compared to your standard microdose now than there is 2 days of ya week sorted idk if ya can consume cannabis or not but thc and coffee can be very similar to cocaine in a lot of ways mentally stimulating strains like lemon haze super silver haze mixed with a nice rich roast coffee and you're gonna be feeling wonderful speaking and very little issues with energy try and get gym in and than boom you don't have time for coke anymore and say bye bye to bloody rags in ya bin from ya nose the night before and eating into a potentially blissfull future if you can just quit ya one harsh substance :D stay blessed brother mushlove I hope shrooms guide you kindly and gently into your new reality ;333 welcome home
Yeah reality sucks alot of times but you can’t escape it by getting high. Getting high should be a rare thing to spice up life, certainly not an everyday thing or even an every weekend thing. Stay strong bro
Justin I may be a cole fan but there's more to dreamville that people don't know about. there are artists on dreamville that have a different wave than other artists like bas who is going to be on this soulo album is have a wave that nobody has just like artists from TDE that's why i compare the two. overall both labels are Goats tbh
Ab-Soul if you're watching: I'm your biggest fan, not even from USA. I'm from Portugal. Been here since day 1. I love your songs, you put me thinking and smiling everyday. TDE 🔥
Burak Korkmaz yeah bro. You need to educate yourself on his old material. Especially "Control System" like dude said. That album is a pure masterpiece in every sense of the word. The album has been out for years now and I'm still catching stuff that he said on it that I missed the first hundred times listening to it. It is easily one of the most lyrically complex and genius albums I have ever heard in my entire life. Ab-Soul is right up there with people like Lupe Fiasco when is comes to being a lyricist.

niknatural lol hes trying to say dont jjst love drugs love all things, drugs doesnt define who he is etc stoner, it is one small factor in his life. fucking idiots thinkjng drugs are cool, white boys lol
I can relate to this song in so many ways! This man has blown my mind since the day I heard of him! The ending him talking to moms is perfect letting her know he’s doing ok and that he’ll call her later on.
This is a masterpiece, the video, the production value, the crazy fucking beat, and that piano sample makes it that much better. Haven't been fucking with Soul for a minute glad I found this though because he done put me RIGHT THE FUCK BACK ON. 10/10 one of the best tracks to drop in 2016. TDE gon make everybody wake up.
+SeshTill IRest you should listen to the Long Term Mentality mixtape and for the other people just finding Soul if your reading this you should do the same.
I'll assume you haven't been fucking with soul because These days. These days was different.. However, I never lost my interest in soul, I understood These days. Dude is a genius rapper, and a true human being with SOUL. The worst is when people compare Control System to These days.. Glad you're back on board with soul though brotha.
I pray for your mercy and that you alleviate my pain. You that dwell in the glory of God. Listen to the sufferance of this, your humble servant, and grant me health, wellbeing, and happiness. Amen ✝️🙏
This Song is somehow connected to Lupe Fiasco's song "T.R.O.N" from Tetsuo & Youth which featured Ab Soul. In the song Lupe says "Dont Ruin Us God Said = D.R.U.G.S" which is the premise to this track. DOPE!
After the passing of Mac Miller this song always gave me the chills hearing him crying for help, the name of the song just adds on to the irony. Still a dope song regardless and still hitting hard in 2021.
As someone who has gone through drug addiction/abuse, and had it hard with my fam until recently. Whenever I hear this song it almost brings me clerity. Maybe that’s not the focus of the song but that’s how it speaks to me. By far my fav song 🙏👁
Today feel like a good day. I got Childish Gambino new album. I got Hodgy new album. And now I got Ab Soul new album. And all of them are BEYOND what I was hoping for.
Agreed. Gambino hardly even raps any more. His old stuff so different from shit like Awaken my love. Not to say its objectively bad, but coming from a fan of his old stuff it's too different for me to enjoy.
"Hardly raps angmore" yeah bro there's literally no rap on that album and he made it clear that there wouldn't be so if you wanted rap only then idk why you would even listen to it at all
Fuck, this song kept coming on when i shuffled through a playlist i made with about 200 songs. Its as if it was a message, was coming on too much for coincidence. Every time I heard it I would dig deeper and deeper into my mind and conscious, and boy i've got hella underlying issues. I have now decided too go to therapy, give up alcohol and drugs, and sort out my issues, as opposed to numbing the pain and indulging in drugs and liquor to 'solve' the problem. Was feeling really suicidal and depressed. Well done AB and Mac you saved my life.
Me and my wife when we moved to flagstaff,AZ we played this as ritual to hike to smoke to cry too, we both worked so hard to live on her own she did college full-time and work i cant belive she deserved this.. cancer has really fucked her up we use to do so much together ❤ she's had a amputation multiple surgeries before that to try and salvage her leg shes a trooper. Recently got told her cancer osteosarcoma had made it to her lungs were now in new hamshire to be closer to her family
Damn brother... Wish u divine peace... Ram Dass podcasts helped me in my hardest times... Everything is perfect as crazy as that sounds it's all karma, past future lives. We are eternal. Letting go and liberation is key. Suffering brings us close to God. Hope y'all find the best way to handle your life. God bless
Dalwin the rapper Medina I love this music It come from up above and I love my niggas and I love my bitches I love evrybody thats listening if you rich or poor so what love the whole world we livin in and EVERYTHING thats living in it from the the trees down too the bugs
Denzel Curry I know the reason why music is like that because half of the human population in the U.S like mainstream music aka mumble rap and not conscious rap
Only Ab-Soul can put out a song about being a junkie and end it saying that none of it made a difference. In today's rap game, that's something special.
I always knew Ab was a hidden untouched and underrated gem, but damn it seems like he just gets deeper and better with time like fine wine and I luv every piece of it!!!💯🔥🥰

This might be Abs breakout song, this gonna be the biggest thing he made, especially cuz the views already killing Huey Knew and Braille, I love he's still saying something too #makelongterm3happen
I'm on acid tripping now listening to this shit. I feel Mac's and ab soul passion in this track highly. I swear to use my own platform to help people from this loneliness and sadness, that they is way out. I can't wait to get there myself....
@Marshall B real talk I'm about to be 28 and have taken a hand full of chemicals. psychedelics being my favorite. And yea, after a bit I fall back into my darkness. Not saying I havnt had some success and others havnt. But cant let the acid get to your head. Its about applying that shit the next morning or week. Month. Make it count brothers and sisters. We dont know what's after this. Could be nothing.
@Marshall B well put brother. It really does become a habit. Just makes shit worse. If that's what you're doing, there will come a time where you cant anymore and the only thing you can do is fight.
I’ll never be able to listen to this song the same ever again. Mac Millar at the end repeatedly saying “I can’t help myself, I think I need some help.” RIP man.
It's so strange that I was listening to this song the other day after a long time, then we were hit with the bad news.. RIP

Thank you for the support! And going on 6 months not long tbh, but still going strong .
I’m tryna quit rn this shit hard
Soul and Mac always sound great together
'And to the kids looking up to me for what I see. Know I don't need any of these things to do anything'
That's the most important verse of the whole song
I read this comment about a week ago, and now I cant unhear it. 100% the most important line in this song. It's all a vice, and its hardly ever something we truly need.
Deep🥺real deep
Most important bar
@Nonchalart TT He's not lying to himself or the kids by saying that. "And for the kids lookin' up to me for what I've seen" are the real lyrics and you have to take note of 'what ive seen'. He's saying that in his position people can relate or identify with the concept of addiction or simply relate/value his perspective. the 2nd part of the verse is saying nothing from drugs to other forms of addiction are needed to do anything in life or needed to have a certain experience/perspective. You don't need drugs to be happy. You don't need drugs to be successful. You don't need drugs to reflect on yourself and try to be a better person. You don't need drugs to love.

umhere even on 2024....i got you soul...much respect for you
More bangers... TDE slaughtering the game.
Agent 00 what's good Agent?
Agent 00 Dat way
he had 5 different people edit them
Agent 00 i cant believe agent like ab soul. This is monumental 😂😂
Agent 00 What's good fam
Ab soul is one of the most underrated rappers. He is literally kendrick level.
Kung Fu Kenny he's past
too bad at TDE championship tour they gave him part of terrorist threats, tde smh
Kung Fu Kenny he above that level easily
very true
Kung Fu Kenny he is better than kendrick tho
You’re never alone with good music……
A real blessing
I fucking love AB Soul. All of his music illustrates the human condition. We live in this world but We are not of it. Although he escape from here through drug use, he remains aware and in the Holy Spirit. Nobody Is perfect but we all are divine & Worthy , worthy of forgiveness, happiness and salvation.
its within not without. That salvation & forgiveness is from within.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Has nothing to do with any holyspirit,soulo expresses consciousness on a other level
And all of us should,we should find out more about our spirituality, third eye and our consciousness
not all this mythical truth we have been excepting such as some religions,beliefs and etc
All Praises to The Most High Yah

I sense a whole lot of pain and fire tracks coming.. Soul-O

PuhPuhTime i cant wait for the 9th man
PuhPuhTime btw im starting to see 47 all the time (ive seen numbers like 1111, 222 and such for a few months now), did that happen to you too? i even see it numerous times at once like today i paused a song at :47, my battery was at 47%, i was driving past a house with the number 47 and right next to it was a phone number on the wall that had a 47 in it that shit was crazy
Listen to 2 am - Rapsody ft Ab Soul ... ab comes out hard on that feature
It started for me a few years ago. It's a rabbit hole, follow it and it will lead you to a truth. If you need guidance research Robert Anton Wilson and listen to his lectures if you don't have the time for a book.
PuhPuhTime haha already got it downloaded fam
This song is so much more eerie now that Mac has passed
Edit: rest easy Mac Miller
how?
Fetti World because at the beginning of the song and the end Mac Miller is tho one saying “I can’t help myself I think I need some help”.
Lol like millions of ppl don't die everyday from it. I hate how it takes a famous persons death to make ppl listen for a day or 2
@@junitosama3547 guess that's why you're here. Real Mac fans would fucking care because it's what he would have wanted. Obviously they didn't appreciate his music while he was alive and people are def hopping on the band wagon with his music but that's just spending his ideas and dreams, I doubt Mac wouldn't want that
@@junitosama3547 We are all connected, his stories will resonate with others going through similar experiences, or know of someone who is or has. Fame is just a byproduct. Try to step off the pedestal for a bit and join the rest of us in the pool for a minute, water is nice. Ahaha, have a great day.
Love you both . Rest in peace Mac. You live forever through your work of art and the spirits you ignited with the spark 🥹💗✨✨
Ab-Soul's album is the best project this year. He is so advanced, ppl will listen to his album and think its just nonsense
Mikaela Bassai it's not as nonsense as Danny Browns album, he's hard af to understand and had an annoying voice (in my opinion)
Mikaela Bassai suns Tirade was better tbh
it really wasnt lol
Joey Munson nah dwtw is better
Joey Munson nah dwtw is better
"For the kids looking up to me for what I've seen, No I don't need any of these things to do anything." - Real shit
MY FAV PART
Soul gon have album of the year on everything. 🔥🔥🔥
Blank Face so true 💯💯💯
Blank Face ....how? you only heard two songs, and their far from his best work.
blank face got it
4 songs*. Threatening Nature, huey knew and this are clearly some of his best work.
Vic Sosa no
This song is sad beneath the catchy and appealing sounds. Both verses. The 1st dealing with the footsteps he's following and the second with his ex, the reason she died, the life he's living and the reasons why he's taking drugs now. Escape, because he's helpless under the pressure of his own actions. You have my prayers brother soul.
About time! I'm a simple man. I see an Ab-soul upload and I click as fast as I can!
Erock Stoenescu we listen to Ab-Soul we are definitely not simple people 😂
+Firas Hanif lol thats so true
Firas Hanif - haha true it takes a level of intelligence to appreciate soulo unlike these garbage ass mumble rappers now days
that's damn near anyone in TDE or J Cole
Hammie Gang Don't mention TDE and J Cole in the same sentence.
I love the part where Ab Soul say, "I love everybody that's listening." He really care about his fans. I love you too bro. Keep making these bangers. Raw Talent.
those dislikes are the government still mad about Control System
Lmfaoooo

Like forreal tho
I literally cant help myself. I can't stay away from the escape of reality I get when I get high. Its so soothing to a point where I dont want it to go away
love u brorther u can find it
Hope you're still with us man. Just lost my cousin this week because he felt the same way.
ey man you can quit that shit cokes horrible to even experience when its good coke just like lots of caffeine barely any high when actually coke and pure not bashed with meth or k or speed id be worried to do coke all the time man ya probably getting addicted to some random compound that isn't coke due to some shitty dealer. Hey why not get some proper drugs in ya system some Mushrooms and some coffee and weed my friend let me show you a much better world can be for the free ;D First of all Microdosing every 3-4th day 0.2 grams Cubensis or whatever strain you can get if penis envy or albinos / natural mushrooms consume only .1 to start off with for your first dose of a new batch of shrooms to test quality and be sure its a microdose and not a macrodose as macros tend to be more relaxing as opposed to a micro will boost your energy and motivation .5 can but it will be a lot more spacey and body high type of feeling compared to your standard microdose now than there is 2 days of ya week sorted idk if ya can consume cannabis or not but thc and coffee can be very similar to cocaine in a lot of ways mentally stimulating strains like lemon haze super silver haze mixed with a nice rich roast coffee and you're gonna be feeling wonderful speaking and very little issues with energy try and get gym in and than boom you don't have time for coke anymore and say bye bye to bloody rags in ya bin from ya nose the night before and eating into a potentially blissfull future if you can just quit ya one harsh substance :D stay blessed brother mushlove I hope shrooms guide you kindly and gently into your new reality ;333 welcome home
Yeah reality sucks alot of times but you can’t escape it by getting high. Getting high should be a rare thing to spice up life, certainly not an everyday thing or even an every weekend thing. Stay strong bro
I love you, I know what you mean. I pray and know you’ll one day become high in reality just off the vibe. ❤❤❤❤
by far the most underated rapper in the game
I'd say Jay Rock gets even less love compared to what he deserves.
James Cleary gta game?
Detroit TRAPER 💀💀 I'm dead the rap game my guy
James Cleary lmfao he is on gta tho
James Cleary You right.
can't stop replaying this. I think I need some help
Ben Bass I feel you bro. I'm on my lunch break playing this on repeat 💯
Ben Bass It's because it's too relatable we all need some help on the real.
Ben Bass naww nigga you need some MILK
Can't stop popping xanax for real. This hits the feels
@james krafft too true, that's why we can't help but put it on repeat
No label even comes close to TDE.
Justin Dreamville comes close most definitely
ProlusioN z why?... cuz J. Cole is on it? He is definitely a great but not even Dreamville comes close to TDE.
Justin I may be a cole fan but there's more to dreamville that people don't know about. there are artists on dreamville that have a different wave than other artists like bas who is going to be on this soulo album is have a wave that nobody has just like artists from TDE that's why i compare the two. overall both labels are Goats tbh
lol whatever you say man
ProlusioN z so two artists compared to 5? If anything Pro Era is the closest to TDE.
Damm ab soul always put soul in his raps . The painful truth will always be better than beautiful lies . Rip mac too
Ab-Soul
... you'll never see this but "thank you" for saying the shit I couldnt. 4&7 .. RIP Steez

Versaci Don'godei i agree thank You Herbert , I peeped how your music is a lot about the human condition. Stay woke
Can u explain? Mac & ab like Joey & steez? :(
Man Ab-Soul is so Fuckin dope man. His wordplay is clever and on a whole other level
You ain't never seen a junkie so fresh...
🗣you heard!
My nose clean .
"Time flies love fades " underrated for sure . Rip MAC
Ab-soul is the perfect rapper if you're open minded af
Reminds me a bit of mos def
MegaChampion101 one of the best? maybe. I'd give the "perfect rapper" title to Tory Lanez though

Rip mac Millar all of us are addicted to something that takes the pain away
I would never listen to ab soul but after listening to this song I'm really looking forward to his album. Really really liked this song!
Burak Korkmaz you really should begin from his old things
Is he not as good now?
Burak Korkmaz It's not that he's not good now, it's just that control system was on of the best albums of the decade. You should really check it out.
Burak Korkmaz yeah bro. You need to educate yourself on his old material. Especially "Control System" like dude said. That album is a pure masterpiece in every sense of the word. The album has been out for years now and I'm still catching stuff that he said on it that I missed the first hundred times listening to it. It is easily one of the most lyrically complex and genius albums I have ever heard in my entire life. Ab-Soul is right up there with people like Lupe Fiasco when is comes to being a lyricist.

Drugs inspire me to create master pieces
your mind is the most powerful tool in this world
only if people knew bro
niknatural lol hes trying to say dont jjst love drugs love all things, drugs doesnt define who he is etc stoner, it is one small factor in his life. fucking idiots thinkjng drugs are cool, white boys lol
Beatrice Lee right
this song got me threw alot . and sad to comeback to this and hear Mac was asking for help .. R.I.P forever young 🙏🙏🙏
I can relate to this song in so many ways! This man has blown my mind since the day I heard of him! The ending him talking to moms is perfect letting her know he’s doing ok and that he’ll call her later on.
This is a masterpiece, the video, the production value, the crazy fucking beat, and that piano sample makes it that much better. Haven't been fucking with Soul for a minute glad I found this though because he done put me RIGHT THE FUCK BACK ON. 10/10 one of the best tracks to drop in 2016. TDE gon make everybody wake up.
Fxns don't think it's a sample ...
Fxns I agree this is amazing, I been sleeping on soulo I'm definitely going to start listening to him now.
+SeshTill IRest you should listen to the Long Term Mentality mixtape and for the other people just finding Soul if your reading this you should do the same.
your right the producer FrancisGotHeat played it out
I'll assume you haven't been fucking with soul because These days. These days was different.. However, I never lost my interest in soul, I understood These days. Dude is a genius rapper, and a true human being with SOUL. The worst is when people compare Control System to These days.. Glad you're back on board with soul though brotha.
Even Danny Brown got the shoutout. Ab-Soul always got love for the homies.
Here from the YRG special congratulation for the 1M
Onm
I pray for your mercy and that you alleviate my pain. You that dwell in the glory of God. Listen to the sufferance of this, your humble servant, and grant me health, wellbeing, and happiness. Amen ✝️🙏
Best song of the album, hands down!
He is the realist most humble dude!! SOULO
Deserve so much more credit man Soul one the greatest idc
ForeverSambo so true
ForeverSambo can't argue that.. I think Cole will overshadow this album unfortunately. It's up to us and TDE to push this man to the top!!
ForeverSambo Why argue, we can just cop both projects and call it a day lol
Top Dawg Underdog
ForeverSambo good one haha I almost laughed
Criminally underrated song. Beautiful and Haunting, especially with Macs feature.
December 9th should be National Ab-Cole Day from now on...
Caped Baldy 2 fuckin days left!
Caped Baldy CJ and Yasiin also dropping
A La $ole has something coming on December 16th
Eazy Lee CJ slow tbh😂 He said July, but I don't mind
Blessed to have that as my birthday
Love this track Had to come back after the Charlamagnes' Interview #HERBERT 🔥
man I keep coming back to this one NON STOP!!!!
On foenem grave
Same shit right here bro
Same since the day it dropped at least twice a day no kap
Song is a masterpeice
Glad to see you still around ab
Ab-Soul like Lloyd Banks; most underrated rapper in the group
Ali X fuckin A
Yooo thats the perfect way to put it 👌
Lloyd Banks is a beast, hes in my top 10.
What about Sheek Louch from the LOX. He's underrated & he's a beast to.
Slept on
This Song is somehow connected to Lupe Fiasco's song "T.R.O.N" from Tetsuo & Youth which featured Ab Soul. In the song Lupe says "Dont Ruin Us God Said = D.R.U.G.S" which is the premise to this track. DOPE!
"Don't Ruin Us God Said" = DRUGS, and is also the premise of Lupe's upcoming album, DROGAS
damn guys...
nadishs PROCEED TO THE NEXT LEVEL
nadishs it be a surprise if Lupe jumps in the remix!!
nadishs dont ruin us god said or drogus is an upcoming lupe album
After the passing of Mac Miller this song always gave me the chills hearing him crying for help, the name of the song just adds on to the irony. Still a dope song regardless and still hitting hard in 2021.
Ab soul got serious talent man!!!
*Skills
My fav song off the album Ab soul my 2nd fav on TDE behind King Kendrick
Ab-soul//The rapper and the legend
I’ve been listening to this song for the past few years and is one of my favorite songs of all time
Came back to this song because of Mac Miller. RIP! GONE TOO SOON.
Bro FR fr
YRG ON TOP!!!
You ain't never seen a junkie so fresh
Wild Mongoosez I think i need some help
haha you never been to my h90d
As someone who has gone through drug addiction/abuse, and had it hard with my fam until recently. Whenever I hear this song it almost brings me clerity. Maybe that’s not the focus of the song but that’s how it speaks to me. By far my fav song 🙏👁
i wish it was 2.2B views not 2.2M
Love this nigga bro
Why??? Who cares?? This is 4 ppl like us. Whoever didnt listen or watch this lie on a different psychological plain than us
It's better if only real fans know it rather than it blowing up on mainstream radio😌
Goat👑💯
I feel you on this one. Soul should be recognised for his one off talent. he's incredible.
I'm an 80s baby and hearing music like this still gives me hope that real rap is still around and still being made
It is don't worry there are two scenes of hip hop going on rn
@@nijerlockhart7402 More than two, there's always been variety in Hip Hop people just have too look instead of complaining
@@PrimeraEspadaStark i.meant the mainstream and the non mainstream where most of the good music is at
@@nijerlockhart7402 I know you watched this about a year ago, But are you still seeing things in black and white?
Still the best music video I ever seen
Today feel like a good day. I got Childish Gambino new album. I got Hodgy new album. And now I got Ab Soul new album. And all of them are BEYOND what I was hoping for.
Bright Mass gambino album sucks ass to me
Agreed. Gambino hardly even raps any more. His old stuff so different from shit like Awaken my love. Not to say its objectively bad, but coming from a fan of his old stuff it's too different for me to enjoy.
Bright Mass hodgys blew me away didn't think he had that in him based on previous work
"Hardly raps angmore" yeah bro there's literally no rap on that album and he made it clear that there wouldn't be so if you wanted rap only then idk why you would even listen to it at all
paul konadu If you wanted the name it's Fireplace: TheNotTheOtherSide, couldn't tell what you meant lol
Fuck, this song kept coming on when i shuffled through a playlist i made with about 200 songs. Its as if it was a message, was coming on too much for coincidence. Every time I heard it I would dig deeper and deeper into my mind and conscious, and boy i've got hella underlying issues. I have now decided too go to therapy, give up alcohol and drugs, and sort out my issues, as opposed to numbing the pain and indulging in drugs and liquor to 'solve' the problem. Was feeling really suicidal and depressed. Well done AB and Mac you saved my life.
This bumps so hard in the whip
Stay G'd Up Do you mind checking out my music?
was expecting something else but this shit fire af
Me and my wife when we moved to flagstaff,AZ we played this as ritual to hike to smoke to cry too, we both worked so hard to live on her own she did college full-time and work i cant belive she deserved this.. cancer has really fucked her up we use to do so much together ❤ she's had a amputation multiple surgeries before that to try and salvage her leg shes a trooper. Recently got told her cancer osteosarcoma had made it to her lungs were now in new hamshire to be closer to her family
Damn brother... Wish u divine peace... Ram Dass podcasts helped me in my hardest times... Everything is perfect as crazy as that sounds it's all karma, past future lives. We are eternal. Letting go and liberation is key. Suffering brings us close to God. Hope y'all find the best way to handle your life. God bless
Damn...Be strong man !
This got me through some dark times . Thank you Ab Soul.
Prob the best TDE project of this year
Martin Ramos the suns tirade aoty

Soul makes this beautiful album with such little views but Lil Uzi, migos, 21, yachty etc and they get millions. shit is tragic
Denzel Curry that some real shit
This is such a sad reality bro I️ feel you on the real from an artists perspective
True bro...
Denzel Curry I know the reason why music is like that because half of the human population in the U.S like mainstream music aka mumble rap and not conscious rap
Sum would say they third eye closed 🤔 but who knows this music a banger 🔥🔥
I still can't believe the Great Mac produced this. Long Live
2021... And Ab-Soul still just hits different...
Only Ab-Soul can put out a song about being a junkie and end it saying that none of it made a difference. In today's rap game, that's something special.
Absoul has this mysterious aura surrounding him that makes him so interesting.

sick

1000Crew I asked the same thing
I can't help myself; I think I need some help
If everybody's eyes were as open as Soul's, you'd be depressed too lol. These are evil times
The irony is that Soul can’t see very well
zedze he talking about something far deeper than what the eyes can see.

Been listening to Ab Soul recently... he's underrated but the real ones always will be. Respect and love 🙏🏽
This might be Abs breakout song, this gonna be the biggest thing he made, especially cuz the views already killing Huey Knew and Braille, I love he's still saying something too #makelongterm3happen
one of the greatest hip hop tracks of all time. I can completely relate. Ab isn't glorifying the lifestyle which I appreciate, just being honest.

I'm on acid tripping now listening to this shit. I feel Mac's and ab soul passion in this track highly. I swear to use my own platform to help people from this loneliness and sadness, that they is way out. I can't wait to get there myself....
Me too. When I get out this mf sunken place but is cool tho. I am trying too embrace it. Peace bro
Derek Owarrior18 I was on acid last night still feeling it I’m happy I found this song again 🖤
@Marshall B real talk I'm about to be 28 and have taken a hand full of chemicals. psychedelics being my favorite. And yea, after a bit I fall back into my darkness. Not saying I havnt had some success and others havnt. But cant let the acid get to your head. Its about applying that shit the next morning or week. Month. Make it count brothers and sisters. We dont know what's after this. Could be nothing.
@Marshall B well put brother. It really does become a habit. Just makes shit worse. If that's what you're doing, there will come a time where you cant anymore and the only thing you can do is fight.
@@limpiiicken1949Well said my brother . May the creator bring you even more Wisdom Peace and light ☯️☮️👌🏾
