I grew up in the country in Georgia. This song and the comments really bring back great memories of me and my cousins running around in the woods, climbing trees, making forts, going fishing, throwing rocks on the gravel roads, eating whatever the seasonal fruit right off the trees, watching my granddad and my uncles field dress and smoked hogs in the fall....oh those were simpler times...the good old days. Also poor was poor, regardless of race. The poor whites and blacks seemed to have gotten along great because they had a lot in common.

[@JohnFilley-d3r]

I love your comment bro, sounds exactly like my childhood! I'm from Greenville South Carolina, lived there until I was 12 and then moved to south Alabama for a couple years. It was great growing up in the country, I thank God I was born when and where I was. I can't stand being in big cities. And yeah, in South Carolina it was either black or white, I hardly ever saw any other races (this was the 80s and 90s) but we all got along fine. We were all just friends, brothers, and sisters. Now I live in Texas and partly due to all the media and government dividing everyone, things aren't so good. It's a tragedy. I don't know what's going to end up happening but I hope people can get back to loving one another.

[@k.r.truthseeker7156]

@JohnFilley-d3r the media deliberately keeps the races divided. I'm not saying there isn't any racism out there because that would be untrue. But I am saying that race isn't as big a deal in everybody's daily lives as the media would have us all believe. Country life is the best...in my humble opinion. To this day, I hate cities and crowded places in general

[@Itsmeetiffy]

I grew up in GA, too, and everything you said is so true! Brings back so many memories!

WE NEED THIS LOVING MORE THAN EVER BROTHERS AND SISTERS

[@tommyblakley4598]

Remember we all need to come together with 1 voice plus stand together in luv. The world is hurting but we can heal together. I'm starting a world peace movement or 1 voice movement. I'm working on slogans on shirts and hoodies to show the world there is ppl still want to live in peace,etc.

[@patrickmarble3265]

3 years later and was about to say the same thing lol

[@michaelstevens2359]

What I love about this is they came together regardless of color. I live in a small poor town like this and we come together regardless of color. We share the struggle together as one and just love one another. We stay away from the media and what the cold world is throwing at us. This is real rap music. Love it.

[@cw6152]

At the end of the day we all want the same things no matter yo race or color an the media can be so toxic an negative an promotes division

Amen to that

Exactly! I live in a small town in southwest Texas. We dont see color here. We were all brought up learning to respect each other. Nothing like growing up in a small close knit community. We all been down/poor and share the same experiences!

yo mean ""no mo" lol

[@abiel_650]

I'm not from KY, but I come from a poor family. I'm currently in college now because of the sacrifices of my family. "Nappy head and all, ain't no changing me", my goal is to be financially stable and acquire knowledge so that I can raise great kids in the future. I won't spoil them though. Spoiled kids don't know the meaning of work. If it's one thing I learned from being poor it's that it made me and my family tougher, stronger, and closer. I love this kind of music. It not only brings good melodies to my ears, but to my heart as well.

[@boobtube133]

Amen

[@mst_angel437]
