[@jayd3337]

This the rap that is sorely needed. So people can WAKE UP

[@lukwsager190]

Not everybody grows

[@clntmagee]

Having watched rap closely for over two decades I can tell you the situation unfortunately isn't changing.

[@AndrewLeeW1]

​@@clntmagee Your name matches your viewpoint then and you aint looking in the right places. I listen rappers that put out some real shit. Marlon being one of em but hes not the only one. SonReal, Grieves, Cryptic Wisdom, just to name a few.

[@clntmagee]

@@AndrewLeeW1 Look at what is doing numbers son, it's not the underground. I didn't say artists aren't out there. I don't listen in the wrong places, the majority of the people do.

I think at least 10k views on this are from me. This is an absolute legendary piece of art. Impeccable. The substance, the flows, the wordplay, the hook, the melody, the video, the instrumental. This should be in a hiphop museum. This should live on forever. Masterpiece. This is what it’s about. 💯

[@PuccaP22]

This is one of my favorite masterpieces by Craft. I was just listening to this today🎛️

I just quit smoking weed daily like a month and a half ago and have been making moves to better myself. This was absolutely needed

[@joshbotto7725]

Good job. I know weed can be made so cool, that it's a difficult decision to stop. But you did it to better yourself. I'm on my way to slowing down (been going hard like 10 years with few tolerance breaks throughout) and eventually possibly quitting also. I know you don' t know me, but I'm proud of you doing what you set out to do.

[@montyb8465]

@@joshbotto7725 Weed is safe but people forget it still is a mind altering substance

[@HighNous]

@@montyb8465 true. And anything can become an issue if you miss use it.

[@HighNous]

Good shit dude it's not always easy to make that choice but if you feel it'll make things better and it gets you motivation to better yourself in every way that's the best thing you can do.

[@ramonmuro1301]

Cool that u stopped smoking, but Not everyone decides to stop smoking cannabis,nothing wrong with smoking , just focus on your life , you can smoke and still be successful

"Why the KKK got to stay, but the panthers didn't?" mans killing it

[@vtecsti]

The Panthers were at the 2A protest in Richmond. Gun rights are for everyone.

[@conquerurlife]

There are still Panthers, they also have the largest protesting organization BLM, to me that line was unnecessary and just unformed and just added to the division in my opinion. But, I hope the best for him and anyone reading this.

[@brandonatkins8709]

@@conquerurlife I had no idea it was still existant. I thought it was diminished a long time ago which I thought was wrong keep in mind but if it's still a thing and it's a part of today's protests and so on like you say, then i see what you mean by it was unnecessary but he's still standing up for those it stands for and I think that's why he put it in there. But idk lol just observing here Good song and that line def caught my attention as well

[@littlegravitas9898]

@@conquerurlife the New Black Panthers are around. They have very different positions than the original Black Panthers who were broken up, assassinated, criminalised and harassed by federal agencies. The same didnt happen to the KKK. Despite their comparative records of violence being almost entirely by the one and not the other.

[@willsutherland8618]

Was about to comment that line marlon killing it

[@myjciskate4]

Marlon Craft and Oswin Benjamin would make an insanely dope collaboration album. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jgcharismatic5145]

I agree but they do have a song coming soon. And it has Chris Rivers and others on it as well

[@orkhankiloglu7870]

randomly watched a news clip from msnbc talking about his new video which got my attention and made me want to check a lil more into this guy and I was so pleasantly surprised his other videos are just as deep. so glad a young artist of this caliber is out there. Inspiring

Total bullshit. Get straight A's and the whole world opens up to you, study whatever you like, wherever you want and earn a good living. Don't go telling your kids school is b/s. I worked in a school in a rough area and that's all they said, so they never tried, and where are they now? Same place.

Love the visuals in the school craft!!!! Done watched it twice. This is a personal favorite song from funhouse mirrors.

[@teamstevensonGenEric]

Genius! Not everybody is awake to the reality that they are the only person in control of their own destiny in life. You can live a life of excuses or blaming others for your own failures - or learn from them - get stronger - and make the life you want for yourself.

[@highonyoumusic]

maan i can listen to your voice all day

[@maximo6037]

Cmon Marlon. This song is straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 and the beat is oldschool delight. I was in the tunnel had to shovel for a minute / had to make adjustments to the vision/ still go back to the dark just to visit/ still get livid if you tell me bout a limit" You gotta promote yourself better baby!!!

Lyrics: Everybody Yeah Tell me why, why it gotta be like this? All of the deceit like this When I die, I ain't tryna be like this Time pass, we don't always catch it Why we worried 'bout marriage, worried 'bout life? While we eatin' dollar slice but we worry 'bout likes? Ain't no value around do we worry 'bout price if it's black or it's brown? We ain't worried 'bout life Why we wanna tell a story on the Gram, but don't know our own? Why life one great big "When in Rome"? 'Cause we only do what they say is cool, man That's the only rule, man And we all end up clones And my God, I ain't got no time to waste with my squad I wanna see all my people evolve But we in a world where that seem so hard, so hard, so hard Why the KKK got to stay, but the Panthers didn't? While that strange fruit sway in the wind and we still ain't had to answer to it Abandon true-ness Never never never never asked the white man to prove it The hard truth? We don't all get better with time It's a matter of the weather and climate And whether the times'll get better in time is the only question of mine I regret I'm inclined to be hesitant cause evidence find They say wine better with age, I tell 'em people ain't the same What we keepin' in the bottle only recreate the pain I said no, no, no, not everybody grows Say you'll learn when you get older but that shit ain't guaranteed Don't get to be who you could be only who you dare to be I said no, no, no, not everybody grows Everybody gets older Not everybody gets wiser Make it cold on my shoulder, be the fuel to my fire Everybody wanna retire, everybody only care 'bout what they desire Everybody only do as much as required Everybody feel the truth inside but speak lies for a long time I was in the tunnel had to shovel for a minute Had to make adjustments to the vision Still go back to the dark just to visit Still get livid if you try to tell me 'bout a limit Muh'fucka what's that? Try to shoot me down, I'll bust back I don't got time for the lames and neither do you We all could know what genius could do I could see it in you, I believe it is true Just keep fightin' the fight to have dreams like you do I can hear it it's proof, I'll be here when you blew Here in the booth tryin' to speak it the truth "Yo, yo, yo, yo" Seeds don't grow if you don't tend to the garden Lotta dead roots in the soil, my G So if I don't stay around, Beg your pardon, I gotta make moves to be who I could be I swear, I swear They say wine better with age, I tell 'em people ain't the same What we keepin' in the bottle only recreate the pain I said no, no, no, not everybody grows Say you'll learn when you get older but that shit ain't guaranteed Don't get to be who you could be only who you dare to be I said no, no, no, not everybody grows
