Who's still here enjoying this gem in 2024?

[@Bamatime719]

All day everyday. 😊

[@Xinuka]

@@Bamatime719 was just thinking about how times have changed, back when this was released religion was a huge conversation, now its just chaos.

[@patriciacooper1308]

I am! ❤

[@NoofGoof]

They have always had a healthy balance of militancy and spiritualism.

[@roycerannard4251]

Damn i can't stop listening to this. I swear 200,000 of those views are mostly mine lol.

This song has actually changed my outlook on religion/life

[@fireinzerogravityrecords]

Conscious Hip Hop is the soul of Hip Hop.

[@shamshirhussain8198]

Absolutely! Stay woke. We are all equal brothers and sisters

[@Melissa-jy3km]

we need more women role models in hip hop now

[@fireinzerogravityrecords]

@@Melissa-jy3km Absolutely, I couldn't agree with you more. If you feel that way sister. You'll probably really like my new song "Other Half Of The Sky." It posted on my profile now. It's meant to uplift women and girls of all variations all over the world.

[@Melissa-jy3km]

Growing up as a Muslim, I went through similar experiences as Stic did! Yea, I used to go to mosque But the mosque didn't quench my thirst Mama taught me to put allah first And she always tried to block my search I was curious, young but serious Why is religion so mysterious? Why is black life so hard? They say you're not supposed to question allah Well, is it okay to question the imam? Was it passed down from the slave-master? It was only the truth I was after But I never could get a straight answer So I couldn't relate to the khutbah Put down the koran, then I start learning About life, didn't know where the path would lead But I had to get off my knees!

[@big10mike53]

The lyrics on this song was so on point!

[@rasheenjohnson99]

Michael Watson that is dead prez listen to the message

[@RebelConcept]

This video only made this song 10x better. We are so concerned with what other people follow and insist that what they believe is wrong. How lost we are... We must strive for balance.

[@illthought-real]

Ain't about race, color, religion or creed. It's about being Human.

[@hafifmohamed7594]

How can any one say Rap is sex violence and drugs...

[@adrianbradt2033]

Cause that's the bulk of what gets pushed on main stream & the public eats up. It's unfortunate 😕, I miss the intellectual Rappers and Hip-Hop / R&B artists

[@tonysnow4159]

It's all about what you choose to listen to the Internet is bad but it can also be used as a tool if used properly

[@mohammadwaleedkhanchemistr6748]

Exactly

[@JNCPoPs]

They are E$%^ts, simple and plain🖖

[@22Metropolis22]

Representing Dead Prez from Ireland. Respect.

[@IndysGarage]

wow...this artist must be an angel of poetry...much Respect

[@BaoZakeruga]

love the simple yet deep message

[@ThatBritishNoob]

Before they were the best political rap group, now they are the best political AND spiritual rap group. People need to open their eyes to the outside to connect with their inside!

[@nunyabiznys5169]

true free thinkers. emancipated minds. love it!

[@joshmarks6935]

This is one of my favorite songs. Great message. I'm am about unity and love. Most churches end up focusing on intolerance and judgment. I am a devoted Christian that believes you don't need any man to find God. "Your way may not be my way, but its ok." Much love and respect to all my fellow men and women, especially my Muslim brother's and sisters which are the focus of so much undeserved hate and misunderstanding. Peace be with you.

[@itsehsanh]

peace and love man. Hope you come back to this song 7 years later and it brings you some good memories.

[@halohalo5085]

This song has the power to make me mad happy when I'm in a shitty mood or depressed, This is my go-to song in those situations.

[@lelren9110]

and yet kanye west still more popular.....fuck that

[@mackvelly8899]

Kanye did produce for Dead Prez back when he was coming up though

[@timmerss9423]

kanye is great. listen to my beautiful dark twisted fantasy. just the first three tracks will entice you.

[@68SaruG]

Man. I absolutely love this song and this message. But more than that, it's awesome to see these guys grow. They have always been aware and made great statements about the system we live in, but this is a new direction showing that the true path is the one within. Acceptance of all other people regardless of race, nationality, sex or religion is the only true way to peace. Arohanui...Saru G

[@cesarramirez6621]

this is real hip hop

[@zachariahfk3865]

Good to see Dead prez reach this level with their music and mind/heart.

[@returnoftheredeye]

I found the hook, and certain parts of the video cheesy, but the verses were really on point. The line "They say let god take care of it, but say the same thing in arabic, and you're a terrorist" was especially heavy.

[@Metatron141]

The hook is banging. Its simple and ties the song together. Shmmm

[@peteg3596]

Exactly the same, very cheesy but message is good one

[@cosmiccreator]

I find your comment irrelevant and cheesy! ;)

[@josephtaylor-kennedy1420]

The hook is of most praise!!!! Your trippin that hook is ULTIMATE!!! YOUR WAY MIGHT NOT BE MY WAY BUT ITS ALRIGHT!!!!

[@returnoftheredeye]

@@josephtaylor-kennedy1420 Seems we feel differently. It's all good though, that's the point of the song!

[@mamba52us]

[Hook] My way might not be your way But it’s okay It’s alright, your way might not be my way But it’s okay It’s alright [Stic.man] Yea, I used to go to church But the church didn’t quench my thirst Mama taught me to put god first But she never tried to block my search I was curious, young but serious Why's religion so mysterious Why is black life so hard? They say you’re not supposed to question God Well is it okay to question the pastor? Was it passed down from the slave-master? It was only the truth I was after But I never could get a straight answer So I couldn’t be late to the sermon Put down the bible, then I start learning About life, didn’t know where the path would lead But I had to get off my knees [Hook] [Stic.man] I build with the fire that’s in us Only God within us, it’s no limits Study the metu neter from chemic Also I remembered Smoke herb with the Rastafarians Who my locks became a vegetarian Following the tao, filling what the bible lacks Jewels being handed to a innocent child My mind is a Buddhist temple, the truth is simple I try to be principle Walking with a warrior spirit It ain’t nothing like learning from first hand life experience I’m a realist, that’s all I deal with Respect the truth, that’s all I build with A child of the universe My religion is life and it’s just as valid I strive for balance [Hook] [M-1] I gotta admit, I don’t know End to end which way it’s gonna go Why we sit by the project window? And started living off the land with my kin folk Is there even a master plan? An unseen hand? Is God a man? Some say that’s sacrilegious Same folks selling us lies about Christmas Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny Just so the capitalists can make money They say God will take care of it But you a terrorist if you say the same thing in Arabic It’s so hypocritical It’s a miracle, listen to the Mexican spirituals Weighed in the water, I’m following Mr. Minute That turn I’m paying for my freedom I’m heading for the border

[@scoamega]

I don't care that Dead Prez may sound different.. Just listen to what they're saying! They're still inspirational as ever. Makes me want to live a better, healthier life. Great, great stuff here. ONE LOVE

[@Micscience]

I always loved the realism of Dead Prez. Watching this video reminds of how real they are. I'm so used to a commercial style of music even music that doesn't play in the main stream , you don't hear real shit like this. Big ups to DP!

[@TT-oz3rb]

Micscience Mainstream and Commercial music is for the suckas. Don't be a sucka (lol)

[@Rawreyezhungry]

Not anymore. conscious rap tuned out in early 2,000's.

[@nathantrudeau4518]

Most underrated Song in Hip Hop History

[@archstan33]

Its bigger than hip hop!!!! Ausar rememberd .....that man is god!!! These brothers bring it everytime - all praise is due!!!

[@JesAllenMadden]

You will never see this kind of positive energy uplifting kind of hip hop in the mainstream or on the radio stations, even tho it's just as good if not better than most ish on there!

[@nicorios6056]

its not about neither, its about you and me and everyone and what we feel.. be real be righteous, don't point fingers and blame, only we can change all that is wrong, live off the land, that is gods gift, no matter what the name that us humans give to the spiritual essence that is god Bless!!

I love Dead Prez's message in this song. Spirituality comes from within.

[@Gadaamx]

“A child of the universe, my religion is life and it’s just as valid. I strive for balance”

[@KennethTabor]

this song should have millions of views. ...many of rap songs that get millions of views can be some of the shittiest.

[@Alhamdulillah1973]

Find the path that makes sense to you and don't let no one tell you what your path is. Seek for your own answers. RBG 4 LIFE -- Peace N Respect

[@illthought-real]

'cause unlike major record companies, Dead Prez doesn't pay the radio stations for their air time. It's all a business, it's all about money and who's willing to pay the highest price to be heard - exactly why artists speaking truth sit back and make music, they know it will be heard and shared.

[@AmikYoungDon]

Damn I immediately love this song for the first. I'm so upset with the situation of intolerance in my country

[@neiltoney4488]

One of the best songs ever made and in America it will never get the love it deserves.... All the hatred for one another always comes from the same sources... Be it religion, sex or race.

[@msjlmhm]

Too many people are missing the meaning of this. It is important not to be ignorant and it is important to be able to make decisions for ourselves. People should educate themselves on matters like religion to be able to understand the perspectives of others and even choose which religion to follow for themselves.

As a devoted Christian, I love this song! It's not bashing religion, it's bashing the hypocrites that use it for selfgain, be it capitalists, radical terrorists, or reactionary preachers of hate over love.

[@Cuv112]

Capitalism is nothing more than free trade and property rights. Not sure how it gets framed in the same light as terrorism.....

plants have feelings, can communicate, they have families just like animals... so it's ignorent to be vegetarian... sure if you don't like to eat meat you can eat whatever you want but most vegetarians don't eat meat because they don't want to eat slaughtered animals... well, tomatos and bananas get slaugtered even worse because sometime they get eaten ALIVE. they get ripped from the plants alive.

This song is such a good representation of non-dualism and the principle of polarity! Everything has its importance in life "for one to exist the other has to be defined" Thank you for making such an important song! If only this had more hits than " is my sex so good i shouldn't have to fuck free" Everything is everything!

I love Dead Prez.. but.. Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. - John 14:6

[@MrMuslimGuy]

I respect my fellow hu man but as far as Ways. The Muslims who have an understanding in Deen and the significance if the Hadith Know not think that ISLAM nullifies all religikns with scriptural and scientific evidences surpassing any Nationalistic, Soicialist, Religious or otherwise. If somebody doesn't become muslim then obviously Allah has chosen who he guides or does not guide. But if u have heard the Message. And u r sincere. Its truth will be familiar due to we have Already said our Shahad

[@Supportmygrind]

these two men come with nothing but instruments but at least they are well informed and educated on history, culture and life in general. youre like every body else that regurgitated the same bullshit that was passed down from generation to generation because people didnt know any better at that time. Now you do.. youve got access to a world wide network at the end of ur fingertips but you still decide to remain ignorant and preach as if ur so righteous. their way is the way and its ok.. ;]

[@yushaeli1514]

dont belive these men, your creator is a reality just as you the creation are a reality, he sent messengers to maning to guide us and warn us and this life is nothing but a test, when we die we will all return to the truth, muhamed is the last messenger and he came with proofs while these two men come with nothing but instruments, what they say has no basis for anythink, and yes my way is not your way, but its not ok ,

[@Subconsavant]

They dont believe in God, but they believe in Godliness (to quote Osho). This is not quite Atheism. They believe in the Divine that we all innately are. They see God as a quality rather then a noun.

[@nicorios6056]

i think the essence that is god in neither male or female.. god is something we cannot judge or put our finger on, it is all.. trying to classify god is pointless.. god is god period, no matter what name, or label you give it! specially from our ignorant and insignificant point of view.. god should not be judged, god should be felt. peace brother

[@liviti]

i swing between this kind of "be tolerant" mentality and the sam harris "fuck theism" because it's a threat to the world mentality. i think the message of this song is to let everyone, at least have the opportunity to find their own way. it's not necessarily promoting theism and its potential chains. "religion is like a prison for the true seekers of wisdom" - killa priest

[@8jaytee]

Rappers can't stay in the same place forever man. I agree I prefer their old songs, but I think it's good their switching it up. I think theyre just trying to get their message out there, and what better way to do it than add catchy hooks and beats that appeal to the general audience. At least the content is still good.

[@carolheinrichs4759]

I am quickly becoming a fan. Love your music... Beautiful mesaage... Truth

[@SouthCoastGrrl]

Dead Prez, thank you for your work. Our world needs this. One Love!

[@roycerannard4251]

You know, religion claims to have so many answers, yet every time i've asked in my past you get these weird answers that are really another question asked right back to you. One of my favourite questions i've asked is that if people weren't jew does that mean they could never have known God? And now that Jesus is the only way, and that it's only the last 50 years or so Christian missionaries have reached remote areas, how did people in say Papua New Guinea know what was the true way God wanted us to worship? Does that mean say every 100 years we have roughly 2-4 billion people sent to hell because humans didn't bring the "message" on time? The deeper you think into this shit, the more you realise as Dead Prez says :you never get a straight answer". Religions bickering, fighting, warring and debating who is right and mocking each other claiming to be mature Godly people. I say smoke some erb, work out, eat vegan and be good to the world.

[@ILVTTS2]

first song ive heard in a long time where the lyrics mean something and its spoken straight forward with no subliminals. DEAD PREZ!!!

Shahada Testifying only One Creator and Believing in all Prophets. Maby do not know this but in Islam there were More than 124, 000 prophets sent to humanity. All came with one message LaillahaIlAllah. There is no god But the One True God

[@kalebmarkstrom]

It's fucked up that real shit like this gets 1% of the views all gold everything got. Real lyrics, skilled delivery, on point topic. I bet they even wrote it themselves. But still strugglin. All gold everything is my cut tho Im just sayin.

[@BanglishBoy]

I don't think that's what they're saying at all. They might believe that, but they're trying to convey the fact that everyone believes in something else, and that's fine. That should not be the deciding factor whether we treat each other with respect or not.

[@NickDuplantis]

Messianic Judaism is the only religion with balance. ALL other RELIGIONS have truths in them, but that does not mean that they aren't false. Check Messianic Judaism out- It's the only one that is complete TRUTH, and has been since the beginning of time.

truth telling. Sisters , Brothers , Us . its All Ok ..... we are the Human - we are all the one race.....God is not what makes us.........co-operate and shit ......!

[@hipdead]

The idea of 'God' implies the abdication of human reason and justice; it is the most decisive negation of human liberty and necessarily ends in the enslavement of humankind both in theory and practice. Those who choose to worship 'God' must harbor no childish delusions about the matter but meekly renounce their liberty and humanity!

[@NuSocietyMedia]

lol... listen to the message in the song... Our way might not but your way... but its okkkkk... its all right!

[@raymondkymsuttle]

[@albertinoferreira1374]

this is such a good song, the chorus is simple, jet difficult because in this life everybody is so quick to judge. If only people could accept that not everybody thinks or does alike, life would be so much better. This goes for spiritual and physical challenges that we face in life.

[@theTRIFEKTAstudios]

Dead Prez is still holding it down. Proper message.

[@CaddilacJoe1]

if you want more spiritual growth learn the religions out there it broadens the spiritual perspective if you come into your own with one that's awesome but most people i feel because of there society go with the flow an choose the more dominate one that's because it was forced onto you or it was all you knew from birth if your American I suggest starting with eastern religions then come to the western world ones you might find yourself sitting lost for awhile but you'll return to the one most reasonable to you. I'm a lay Buddhist but I enjoy yoga as well and hip hop music its almost at times hypocritical. as you gain more knowledge you can see how when something comes in the form of a extremism in beliefs how it affects society as a whole if you do pick up something outside American society's dominate religion that is okay your not alone but respect that the perspective & philosophy is different however because we live in this mixing pot of cultures an religions I think it'd benefit most of our society to learn about each others cultures an religions this way when the news or government trys to demonize and stereotype there can be a great voice saying hold up that's wrong that's the wrong view

[@ACEmurder20]

he use to go to church & he read the Bible????? i guess he either skiped John 14:6. Or he did not take it seriously

What I love most about this video and lyrics is the growth. It speaks to the journey we all go through to find our divine self.

I believe that some of us are addicted to angry music and we expect our favorite artist to stay in a certain place. Thank you for the growth and pushing us as fans to grow also.
