If Allen Anthony can see this, thank you brother. This song has and still continues to get me through a lot of hard times. Thank you for this timeless classic.

[@Bombshellbiggy]

Wow, touché is all I can say! I know he says not to cry but these be tears of joy.

[@truskool1971]

[@mriketz]

I second this comment. Thank you Allen Anthony! Blessings

[@shondajones9424]

This man sung his butt off. I hate when musicians with talent like this gets kicked to the curb.

[@BlackManTravels]

Songs hits so different now at 45 and having an Autistic son. never paid to attention to the video, wow the positivity and message!!!!!! Classic!!!!

[@neckbone3217]

Blessings to you and your son

[@jaydetroit6325]

WTF were Jay and Dame thinking? This is the coldest song ever to come from the Roc! Not to mention the pure soul and inspiration this song gives and the MF BANGS! Very rare combination in one song. They shoulda put AA's album out. Somebody holla at Hov and bring AA back!

This and rells " love for free"

[@kevinford8189]

Jay Detroit, my exact thoughts. Why didn't they do better by him and this song.

[@michaelmusaphillips7740]

I never understood how he got lust in shuffle.

If Allen never did another song/video he accomplished great things with this one.. alright !!

The full version of this song is DOPE it’s like Over 5 mins long. This song always reminds me of Glenn Lewis - don’t you forget it . Because they came out around the same time.

[@mightyspurs21]

I've never heard this song, I know the Freeway song this is in though. That Glenn Lewis song is such a good track

[@nellyluscious]

This was the shit!! I remember when it first played on VH1 soul! I was like he looks familiar, then I realized he was from the group Christion! I love the message in both the song and video. I was surprised to see him still signed to Rocafella. Classic in my book!

[@melissamorales7306]

This song is the truth. You rarely hear music like this anymore.

[@jefferysanders5660]

this is real music they don't make music like this anymore

[@phillipsmith3077]

Gotta down vote that comment Jeff. I love this song, and I also love the version with Freeway.. But to say literally "this is REAL music they don't MAKE music like this anymore" is a blatant slap in the face to Ronnie Foster. The "real" song is Mystic Brew. Most jazz cats that have their music sampled can't stand that part of hip hop, real talk. For the most part, the record company that owns the rights/masters gives permissions to artists to sample the songs. The actual creators aren't very happy with it at all. To quote a close friend of mine that is a world class musician who heard me listening to a Nujabes track that featured a Luiz Bonfa sample, "I can't stand this, give me the Bonfa and let it be"

[@FLAWDAJAY2003]

I miss the 90s 2000s music videos like this with a story and the artist actually tried. Not like now days with gimmicks. Man I miss the 90s. if we had today's technology in the 90s man. Throw back definitely added to my playlist

[@kayp9293]

I had to find this song...it has been on my mind all day. I truly needed to hear this joint. It immediately took me back to another time mentally. This is a classic. Thanks Allen Anthony

This material is good but I'm hoping Allen Anthony soon realizes something that Marsha Ambrosius of Floetry had to learn and that is that while you can hold your own, sometimes the magic just isn't the same without the symmetry and symbiosis of The 2. Go get your brother man.......Bring Back the Love. Peace.

[@tiieeeem]

I remember 2003, 11 years old I would always watch VH1 Soul I loved the music on that channel. This very song would always come on and at first I'd ignore it but I listened to it entirely and I loved it since.

Remember seeing parts of the video and hearing the song on the radio back in spring 2003, just a little before I graduated high school. It did make a little bit of an impression on me, but I didn't pay much attention to the song at the time. But a whole year later, early summer 2004, I decided to look for it and downloaded the version with Freeway onto Kazaa. Some months later I found Allen Anthony's version, and it became a fave

[@stevegreen394]

I love this track and video. A powerful, thought provoking work of artistry. Allen Anthony will forever be known as the cool brother on the bike who delivered this gem to us. I never tire of it's groove and message. I was happy to see Glenn Lewis in this video also. This piece is something special.
