When I listen to it I can feel all the highs flash back in an instant and I start vibing.
literally
Wish I could go back to my 17 year old self an listen to this for the first time again. 24 years old now, this song has the biggest nostalgic tie of any song I know. Me an the boys back then would have this on repeat. Now it's just a distant memory. Thank you flatbush ❤
I’m 27 brother and I feel yah lol, the cool thing is we got so much left to see and hear
NAH FR MAN 🔥
Im 17 listening for the first time now haha
I’m 28 now been listening to Flatbush since I was 15! Miss those days man! My homies and I all discovered the whole BeastCoast movement together and we will share that for the rest of our lives! Glad to hear some more nostalgia here in 2024! 47shit!
Bro I feel u, this song among others represents exactly the same for me, also a 17 year old at the time
Shout out to my 14 Year old self in 2014 Listening to pro era, flatbush zombies, and the underachievers at such a young age. Felt more enlightened then than now.
Edit* Never thought so many people would relate but hope yall are living your best life
feel exactly like this
thats what i be saying, would not be the same dude i am today without this music man. shits crazy
felt this heavy
@@Aeoniik welcome back, always nice seeing people on the comments
I wish I had the beastcoast in my life when I was your age, but then again I found them during a time were me and my crew were living what they were rappin, 30 now, calmed down.
This song is hands down one of the greatest songs in HIP HOP history. Every detail of this song is so powerful the psychedelic vibes
So true
out of body no doubt
It’s trippy for sure... lotta their shits like that. I love it. It’s organic feeling.
Facts it’s one of the most beautiful songs for hip hop. altogether this is a piece of art at its finest
447 likes mane i can’t like it
I come back to this track - especially in sentimental moments - a couple times a year and cherish every single second. This will forever be in my top 10.
People will either think you're sad or depressed when you might just vibe to this. Though this song fits many moods from hype to sad
The OGs remember this throwback. Shoutout to anyone coming to this now, enjoy this fine seasoning and soundtrack to your life.
This song brings so many emotions and views. It's one of the most beautiful pieces of art I've ever heard. A Love letter to the stars
One of the greatest songs ever fr ❤
Such a masterpiece
5+ years I've listened to this, accidentally come back to it every 6 months or so and it's still like I've heard it for the first time.
Just found it so I’ve been listening to it every hour, too fuckin good
Yep
Facts
🧢
Facts bruv
pro era, flatbush zombies and the underachievers high school wake and bake sessions damn miss em
deadass this is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.
your word
Was just bout to say the same
Fact
Deadass b
Lazcano it hits the soul dude
I promise you, Darko's verse is one of the greatest I've ever heard...
Most definitely
Truuu
It really is
I prefer Issa's verse
Our life, it like sand castles, we are not built to last
But if we pack together close enough, the weather, we would stand
Checking in. I’m 24 now, it used to be so hard, and today it still can feel so low.
This song does the same thing for me today that it had when I was 17.
I took some more hits in this life, and made some more mistakes, but I’m glad to be alive.
Just turned 25 buddy but I feel that.
Many trips taken to this song, taken some blows lost a lot of people but I'm still out here grinding.
Hope everything is alright man.
The strongest people aren’t the one’s who never fall down. They’re the one’s who get up the most times after falling down. KEEP GOING
We still here. 26 and struggling. I came back to the music of my youth. 14,15,16 years old listening to beast coast and I can’t believe I felt so enlightened then. Lots have happened in the last 10+ years and it’s nice to feel grounded from these songs
Felt this
29 and holy fuck I’m just here now yearning to break out of the usual still. Keep your creative side and prosper
The fact that people are arguing about which rapper is better is a testament to how good they all are.
They are all on the same level of greatness (except Issa still needs work cause he's new compared to the rest,) they just have unique styles.
Josh Schulz I think his verse on this was better than some of his verses on The Cellar Door but like you said he needs work.
Issa now though
Hes proved himself
No argument can be done they are all perfect in their sounds, no group better
No its a narcissistic demoralised millenial generation of internet gangstalking trolls looking for a endorphine hit via the feedback loop of annoying any and everyone in the hope of a response so that faceless masquerader can prove how right they are about all subjects known to exist in the universe and they are the only one who knows it..therefore theyre better and more correct than you.
“Why are we moving backwards?
Mentally we’re still in shackles”
This song is all around phenomenal. Still gives me chills years later
One of the first songs I EVER found back when I only had sound cloud. Obsessed ever since, thank you FZ for the memories
These guys dropping the OGs on Spotify this week brought me back here to reminisce on the master piece that is clockwork indigo. This will forever and always be homage to what great music and great minds can be together.
Listened To this song at a 14 I couldn’t process what I was listening to thank u fbz for exposing me to spirituality at a young age forever changed my perspective on the earth and the humans that I come across
I will never forget the bong sesh I was in when I first heard you guys. Before everyone went crazy over the laced odyssey I was smoking snaps in a dingy basement listening to Amerikkkan, Kids on LSD, palm trees, and thug waffle before we finished throwing down.
You hear when Issa Gold said palm trees, the clap from the beat of Palm Trees started playing. #genius
holy shit!! youre too savage for even noticing that
MTCTV is that good? lol
Brian Gonser yes haha you have a good ear
The clap occurred several times in the song haha I doubt they tried that
MTCTV 3:15. Game over. Give up street rat.
"Our life, it like sand castles, we are not built to last
But if we pack together close enough, the weather, we would stand"
These two lines give me chills. This song is a piece of history already.
i’m 27 now. and wow the nostalgia this song holds is unparalleled. love y’all
Honestly love Juice's verse. Everyone sleeps on him and don't realize this man has SOOO many flows.
xXxDROD96xXx issa gold tho
47th like
xXxDROD96xXx exactly thank you👌
Juice rode this beat
Agreed ✊
Been listening to this song weekly since my junior year of high school. Now entering my junior year of college with my tuition paid entirely from scholarships. This song, and the other discography of Flatbush and the Underachievers helped me find the extra motivation during those late nights 🙏
Shoutout indigo gang! Named my firstborn after this music means so much to me now it’s 2023 life is beautiful and wild I beg you all to live it
This is back when I first started tripping acid. Truly uplifting vibes and messages from these beautiful souls. Timeless work, it'll still bang in 1000 years. Echos of the pharaohs
This beat is a major testament to Erick’s insane production skills mannnn beautiful
Me and my homeboy Randy would be 18-19 listening to underground rap and go to events around the country. While he no longer is with us and im 34 now I still have fond memories of our teens and 20’s living the Hip-Hop life as kids. Miss you my brother.
I will forever love this song from the day I first heard it until my last breath. It still breathes every emotion through me. Meechy kills it.
These guys really know how to write words that just dig under your skin, and it just resonates. Every track from these guys is timeless
I come back to all these old tracks every time i feel down, and it takes me right back to finishing highschool 🖤 this era holds a very special place to me and i will treasure that feeling everytime! You know those song's that mean so much you only play when you need them 🖤 big love to all my INDIGOS 💜
And just like that, I’m 16 in my homies room, smoking weed and skipping school. Bless.
I hope you don't regret this when you're older as I did...
Yall realized how blessed we are to have this absolute masterpiece in our lives?!
True
All these years later and AK's part where he's saying "remember when we was starving dreams was tarnished hoping one day we'd be ballin" gives me chills man. Clockwork Indigo NEEDS to make more music. They're so filthy with it.
“the point is to read the book and burn the chapters after” meech on a whole other level
Now the decade is coming to a close we can officially say this was the most beautiful track in the past 10 years
This song continues to hold me solid in my darkest moments
One of the best produced songs I've ever heard. Erick is def the best producer rn
DJ Smokey holds the title for best producer in the underground rap game
idk i dont think he competes with clams casino or flying lotus but yeah his shit is hot
(i'm pretty dope myself soundcloud.com/ebbsbeats)
The way the beat switches up when Issa goes in.... bruh!
How the Flatbush zombies represent life ua-cam.com/video/D44fkZXaQJ4/v-deo.html
the beat switches for every single one of them
Atleast once a day I gotta listen to this masterpiece - 2025 we still here and never left
If you went to this concert when the two groups went on tour you are blessed to experience such a amazing show. Third eye open such a unique crowd, much love 15 year old me blazing a backwood rn or just getting into dabs and tabs. Bless up everyone.
Could we get a CLOCKWORK INDIGO 2.....I think it's time zombies and underachievers
i liked escape from newyork but i agree. we need UA and FBZ to bless us with another tape
Facts
One that gets on Spotify 😄
Let's gooo
I SECOND THIS!!
2025 here.. I remember just vibing out in my early 20s snowboarding and getting fried when I got back home then gaming with friends all night. Now I’m grown, have bills and responsibilities and have no idea where the homies are at. Enjoy your youth, growing up sucks.
"How could a n**** do his homework when his moms on crack"
I feel that
Don't lie you doing the crack
"How can I produce a record that be equal to that"
Ayee this real sta8 from the gutter
foreal straight speaking facts
Ya moms was on crack?
imma need everyone in Clockwork Indigo to be in next years Freshman issue, these dudes are some of the best emcees in contemporary hip hop, they need way more attention bruh, its long overdue
Xxl freshman don't do groups if they create enough buzz with there solo works then it should be no problem
enrique mendoza i never knew this, they should change that rule because all these dudes deserve it no matter what
"Never took an L, still fresh without the double x" erick
Fuck xxl
josh yepez yeah i've listened to that line several times but don't you think that these guys should be so much bigger than they are now? I'm just saying I want them to be put on a platform that will get them an insane amount of attention because they deserve it. These guys should be running rap, not people like Drake and Rick Ross.
rcl671 hey man, I know what you mean, but the masses aren't ready for good ass music like fbz. They probably never will, all people want are bangers and songs that don't make any sense, but have "sick beats". I've shown people fbz and they say it sucks, yet listen to lifesyle and love it. Its just how it is
Rare to see, Sirius Star B, I'm a Star Seed!
Such a good song dude it takes me back.
Every time I listen to this song my heart starts beating so fast and I get a feeling that I can't even describe... it evokes so much emotion and moves me so much, especially the ending note.
That shit hits so different every time you listen too this song and rethink every moment that happen in that time period I reminisce about old times especially in middle school
So psyched for this!!!!
Bruhhhhh yesss Love u Anthony!!!!!!!!
Anthony Darktano
When are you dropping your Mixtape?
BRUHHH
BRUUUUUUUUH
This song will never be over played.
The slight change of the beat & inclusion of the whistle was perfect for Issa's verse.
"I'm the 13th king raised up out the monarchy, Palm Trees, roll it up, dedicate it to my sovereignty" 🔥🔥🔥
This shit gave me the chills, man.
I got em right before I read this comment.
this track was just flawless.
hahaa did u see the lyrics yet?
topdropspot.com/clockwork-indigo-butterfly-effect-lyrics/
New Kidd25 Good intentions, flawless karma
Nice photo, mick jenkins joint is sick
"Time we waste, in this failing race, so butterfly away, come visit heavans gate." Absolutely legendary.
RIP to all my friends that have OD’d but back then we were bumpin this just raging and having such an incredibly elite good time…
Hey
Idk you lol
i remember hearing this song for the 1st time at around 3:45 a.m. while in houston Texas sitting outside my sister's apartment 4 min. after hearing that my uncle had gotten into a car accident.......Safe to say this song is a staple in my life now.
AJ!zzL3D bless up homie
your uncle good?
AJ!zzL3D
last year my friend who is dead now due to a heroin od showed me palm trees whem we were smoking and this whole genre changed my life. i love flatbush and UA
The Blue Turret Learn to read

"LET ME HIT THAT WEED!" - I have that stuck in my head for a week.

I remember me & one of my bestfriends in highschool listening to this in the woods on a sunny day during a shroom trip. The whistle in the instrumental of this song still brings me back to that day
sooooo crazy. when that whistle came in … 😮💨. thank you for the eargasm 👌🏽
Issa's verse almost made me cry so beautiful and inspiring
Charisma the guy doesn’t even like rapping just has to get his message out I think he wrote a book
This my favorite thing that both the Zombies and Underachievers have put out. Perfect track. Deep shit, and that beat is so fuckin moving
your putting out
this song is the most beautiful pieces of art ever to be created, thank you!
One of the most unique and beautiful hip-hop songs of all time
You can't change my mind
Im here again. This track is pure art, every aspect is just briliant. I wish more artist give us similar feeling
That transition from Eric to juice at @1:22 is everything, and that drop is just beautiful.
I’m so lucky I got see clock work indigo on tour. One of the most underrated eps
Saw them in Chicago and every time I hear this EP it's like the past seven years gets peeled away and I'm 21 again. It's a wild feeling.
god i came back to this song. i grew up in highschool to this very song. i love you guys thank you.
I cry every time this hits home hard
I just want Pro Era, A$AP Mob and Clockwork Indigo to make one legendary track together and then I can die a happy man.
does that conclude the flatbush zombies
jay pichardo since FBZ are 3/5 of Clockwork Indigo, yeah id say that includes them.
Pro era and clockwork indigo are almost one in the same. And naw. Asap is a completely different style of rap. Wouldnt be good imo
forget about asap bra, they've got nothing to hype..
CHRIS SMITH I agree, theyre lyrics arent deep at all, they are just spreading negativity and hate
[Verse 1: Erick Arc Elliott]
Before the tours have filled the calendar
I was in Brooklyn, smokin' Cali bud
And I accepted rap, eyes red from that
5 AM flights, eyes red from that
Mr. wouldn't cop the white one if it came in black
Frequent 30 cities while you're witnessin' my chicken scratch
Type of shallow nigga, fuck and give your lady back
Constructed in the lab, Flatbush where they raised me at
Now I lost some friends, but fuck it we don't need 'em
We barely friends before and we don't talk for different reasons
Mom's all sad, pops gon' snap
Make some difference in this world before your mind goes black
How can a nigga do his homework when his mom's on crack?
How can I produce a record that be equal to that?
Every time I play some new shit, I'm just thinking it's whack
My motivation for the youth is how we bringin' it back
[Verse 2: Zombie Juice]
Bringin' it back, bringin' it back (here we go again)
Been waitin' so long it’s like they use to that crap
Hip-Hop been my life, I'm just used to the facts
Sellin' dope not an option, ain't new to the trap
Faggot niggas wanted the fame, they used to the back
My niggas boardin' a plane, Insta vid that
I'm confident as ever, my tolerance is low
For hatin' mothafucker's doubtin' me like I ain't dope
Crack, say the word chap, I leave a skull cap
Morbid with the four fifth and the boss pit
Torture, hot, burn it, like a perm quick
My melodies is heaven sent, y'all ain't heard shit
[Verse 3: Issa Gold]
Old days, back before the rappin' and my aura swankin'
Youthful savage, used to dream of passion, now we make it happen
Rap disasters, overlord to rappin' actors, hustling talents
Spittin' average 'til my kin descended upon this planet
Rare to see, Sirius Star B, I'm a Star Seed
My light-beam across the nation, changin' tastes, unitin' races
Higher placement, laugh at basic, 90 angel, tempt to Satan
Blend it up, equal greatness, rock the podium with my statements
I'm the thirteenth king raised up out the monarchy
Palm trees, roll it up, dedicate it to my sovereignty
Fuck this separation shit is tasters, we one entity
Like a bunch of shit stirred in the pot but still one recipe
Indigo the leaders, puttin' the youth through trainin', nigga
Never thought we would make it, now we unpluggin' it from the matrix
Spit iconic, Issa Gold, the proper way, the youthful conscious
Truth won't stop us, my light stream shinin', blockin' out they nonsense
[Verse 4: AK]
Brooklyn born and raised, some say we free, some say we caged
But they hold the key to change they ways
But mind be sleep, they mental slate
You not in my league, I see through the great
Cut the pot then I leap through the ashes and came
I go crying in the corner with immaculate brains
Hold up, I'm beast and I cannot be tamed
Remember when we were starvin', dreams was tarnished
Hoping one day we'd be ballin', ain't that all us?
Now we done it, use your brain and never forfeit
Now I talk how I'm livin' with conscious
Good intentions, flawless karma
And this mission keeps us stronger
Fight for the day we be peaceful and honest
[Bridge: Meechy Darko]
I would die for every single nigga on this track, hol' up
It's only right that we bring it back
I done died for every single nigga on this track, hol' up
It's only uh- that we bring it uh-uh
[Verse 5: Meechy Darko]
I'm destined for damnation, need to let out frustration
So I threw a Molotov at the nearest police station
Tell the reaper that I'm waitin', shit, Hell would be a vacation
At least I won't need a lighter to spark up them Cali flavors
The point is to read the book and burn the chapters after
Why are we moving backwards? Mentally we still in shackles
Our life, it like sand castles, we are not built to last
But if we pack together close enough, the weather, we would stand
One day, I'll have a queen and she won't need no weddin' band
The weight of the world I benchpress, no flexin' for the 'Gram
The man that travels many lands withstands and you can't understand
Your standards, I am over them, feel like I am petroleum
The chosen one, my tongue's a sword for ya, I brought my loaded gun
I got this ongoin' battle with this shit, de-pression
The pressure is buildin' up but fuck it I ain't givin' up
And even if I did, so what?
*”TIME WE WASTE IN THIS WADING PLACE SO BUTTERFLY AWAY!”*
Message to myself: I better come here at least once per year. The year does not really matter that much, but keep coming.
Who else be using this as motivation to get up and go to work knowing you got shit holding you down, yet still pushin through to see tomorrow the way it should be?
Can never go wrong with the Beast Coast
Hey JaySTEEZ wassup, i see you everywhere, you have a GREAT taste in music
Bradley Romeus lol thanks, bro
Hey i seen you on bobby smurda hot nigga advertising good shit but FUCK YOU!!!!lol
Jay STEEZ been sick with this diction, I learned half these words in fifth grade detention
Clint Eastwood a problem child in the smartest class
This song induces not only nostalgia but the sound perfectly sums up how I feel about and miss the past and the people in it.....
Damn, Erick's stepped his game up... I'll be bumpin this joint for a while 😉 lol
calm down dude.. ^ its good music just jam to it and chill..
Yeah it is but people acting like Erick wasnt good before and was ass
Shut the fuck up you plastic ass fan.. Where do you see in my comment, "Erick wasn't good before this." I've been listening to the zombies since d.r.u.g.s dropped and I've happened to notice that every member of the fbz (especially erick) have really improved since then.. Am I not allowed to point out/congratulate erick on that? Sit the fuck down kid
And just so your bitch ass knows, 222 is my 4th favourite song that ANYBODY in the beastcoast has released. So stop assuming shit
Karan Saxena Ericks been a beast of the bars. Anybody thats heard all of Ericks solo shit knows whats up.
This is that corner of UA-cam where I rest...
I just keep on coming back to this track after all these years!!! You know how amazing it truly is when you show this to your friends while all of you getting high af and they all look at each other like this might be one of the best experiences ever in the music history. None of them used to listen to this type of music, but i think it was the beat switch by the ending that hooked them up.🔥🌴🌬💨
Flatbush has been my go to artists and pro era tooo since 2013 still listening to these amazing songs today.
Guys made history with this song trust me one day it will blow up even more.
almost 7yrs later, this song is just as strong
The instrumental is perfect. Beautiful song. Chills every time.
One of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard in my life and I really mean that. Wish it was on Spotify 😢
You make some of the sickest beats I've ever heard
That's Eric the architect sir
I still can't get over the outro 😥❤😫 it's just so smooth and it's rich in nostalgia.
nothing new under the sun, time to cycle back 2025
That cover design is sick.. very cinematic. great song
man, this song makes me happy and sad.. 2014 was a good fucking time man.. im grown now.. if only we knew those were the times.
Big facts 2013-2015 were the best times of my life .
Strait up, gotta live up every moment
In 5 years you’ll look back at where you are now. And think similar
Somehow it still seems like yesterday....
one of the best albums to wake up with hands down been bumping this since release i know all the words by heart can just rap every track.
dont let ur mind go black !
Every month i'm back her since years.
I swear, this is one of the best rap songs i know and ever heard! ♡
And again again
I feel so absolutely blessed to have seen this tour and have seen this performed live with everyone thank you guys
Fuck dude that must've been sick!
I would literally die just to have a conversation with Flatbush man I seen them live best night of my life I wish I could talk to them they are my inspiration and I’ve spread their music to so many others this is the shit that gets you through tough times bad trips anything man these guys give you the power to move forward stronger and smarter than any other out there. Hands down bets Artists out there I don’t care the genre I fucking love you Flatbush UA pro Era Joey all of you I fucking love you wish I was in Flatbush BK NY the same time you guys were coming up much love stay blessed
After so many years it’s sick to see you comment on this song
@@anthonyphidel7690 you too
FLatbush love runs deep, god bless this comment
I remember before this EP dropped i always dreamed that Underachievers and Zombies would collab. Let me tell you I shed a couple tears when it dropped. This EP let alone everything else they put out is a gem
This whole joint is a classic. Man. Underrated fr
Some of the best MC's left
Do you still think that?
Adam Babcock of course
This song has so much power. When in quarantine I got lost in my own thoughts so many times but I always came back to this song and felt a lot better.
Dude this song had to grow on me at first then it became my favorite track on the album. Usually when that happens to me, it becomes one of my all time favorites
We are not built to last but we pack together close enough the weather we can stand. More important now than ever
Wow I have recently been listening to FBZ and this might be my favourite song.. The beat and the vocals and the bars just beautiful.
The universe is great sometimes. Thank you.
Wish i could go back to the days kickin it with all the homies at the park skating and smoking while Bumpin flatbush, those were the good days
10 years ago is crazy. What a fucking banger
Anybody else imagining the aftermath of a devastating bomb as the smoke clears off or even imagining the Twin Towers dropping over this beat? I can't really explain it, but this beat is somewhat dark, yet beautiful...
This is like some rising from the ashes type shit.
+Tha Swami I feel you, I think that was the intent
the feds watching
It's like lyrics to "Ring Around The Rosey" in a way. Soo innocent with the whistling yet can placed over a destructive incident and turn it into something beautiful. Kinda like the symphony used in V for Vendetta
I see people rapping as they carry out harsh lives and each person represents a different struggle. Then, when they start singing together, it's the dead versions of some of them and children walking out of the ashes together with this woman of purity and symbolizes a wish for a better world and there's hope in the children of tomorrow. that's me tho
years ago... this song....you all changed my life forever
Bro this doesn't feel like a 7 minutes song at all, that's how fucking good it is
2019 and we still here!! Listening to the knowledge that will awaken us!!!
