This song is therapy.

[@justinastylski5185]

Love it. Right on time.

[@danielmckay2308]

I don't know why this song wasn't performed at your guys' show in Irvine last month. Would've been sick!

[@mpchead621]

g&e + slightly stoopid = legendary.... dope positive powerful music

[@dominicbruno3109]

This song is so underrated. It's ridiculous.

[@expressyourvocals]

That's usually how it works though, when it's real, and there is knowledge to it, people don't want to listen to it.

[@jonathanindian]

Ahhh. F-N luv-it, swayn' in the green trees.

[@traviswilliams5338]

Why are there dislikes :( what about just not hitting like and going to listen to Lil Wayne without disliking a well done positive song with depth and talent?.... Oh well, this song is just greatness, & Eligh just slays it on his part.

[@gamernation2842]

Did you really need to bring up Wayne? Wayne is a goat dude. Haters everywhere

[@traviswilliams5338]

What do you mean by goat? I just find 75% of his songs to be filth, the lyrics and subject matter of his music, I do not care for the guy as far as an artist but that is just me.

[@gamernation2842]

Travis Williams He's a punchline rapper. You have to understand cleverness to get his lyrics. If you just happened to listen to lollipop then of course you're going to think he isn't that great. He doesn't always make music to soothe the soul bro. that's not him. Look up a song called "Trouble". He has made plenty of the music you're talking about but it's just not mainstream.

[@skinhitter27]

Lil Payne is TERRIBLE. Auto tuned baby vocals over horrible busy beats. This is Real Hip-Hop.. no room for him here. He may sound like a goat, but he's not The Goat.

[@mobileeyesmarketing808]

anybody who ever listened to hip hop needs to hear Eligh, especially if you can appreciate fast and coherent lyrics with real meaning

[@sumwonkool]

Definitely one of the greatest. So many ppl have heard this man and copied his style I feel. Kendrick was definitely influenced by Eligh I feel like, maybe even tho he won’t admit it on a big station

[@mariomore8773]

It is cool seeing positive comments. I love how music can change how a day is going or someone's outlook on life. Grouch The Living Legends

[@freshnorthwest6756]

Zumbi from Zion I would have been perfect for the vibe on this beat... Rest easy Zumbi, we really lost a hip hop legend and its broken my heart. The music Zumbi and The Grouch made will live forever! real hip hop

[@zacharygomez5889]

Been through allot and want to say thank you I just travelled in my second car from Colorado to north Carolina and this song helped me allot because it was my first time traveling alone! Love your music man I heard the saxaphone I have been playing the saxaphone ever since I was little and I play every day! Music on!

[@PH-is2tp]

Still banging in 2019. The world needs more Tortoise & The Crow. HipHop Needs it.

[@hootiemike3091]

What an amazing song.... Grouch and Eligh are so damn inspiring i love it!!

[@cFull_Rtrd]

i never understood why dope hip hop like the west coast LA underground never made it mainstream, this shit deserves a billion views, instead we got idiot mumble rappers with rainbow hair talking about drugs and violence

[@eibertrummel3099]

I guess at least 10k views are just from me. perfect beat, perfect hook, perfect part from the grouch. But what Eligh is doing is more then godlike. Hes such a skillful rapper. I am so impressed. This song even has a message. Meanwhile in Germany, some guys speaking in a mike about selling drugs, mix it up with autotune and call it rap, and millions of idiots are listening that shit. sad world

[@johnny04a]

Dope. Can't stop listening to it

[@jakobogvigga1235]

This song means so much to me. At a point in my life, where I have made a lot of stupid and selfdestructive decisions, this song helped me get on a better path. “A brighter future, smarter youth, harvest fruit” This song makes me wanna be a better man and father.

[@hover_roller_balance_boards]

What's rad about about Kyle is his delivery can't be duplicated. It's has such subtle fills and transitions. Same with eligh. Grouch is simple but voice is 1 of a kind.

[@4some2joe0]

[Chorus: Kyle of Slightly Stoopid] For the people of the world and all the people of the sun Everybody got a job to do and they're gettin' the job done Whether you doin' it for yourself, your families or for everyone Forward ever, backward never that's the way we need to run Well now you know that it is better to give than it is receive That is the way we all should live And that's how we should believe All them fools and all them riches And the world they would deceive And the minds that realize the world we never could achieve [Verse 1: The Grouch] Nobody can take our sunset I've got a painting, ain't done with this brush yet It's not a dream, not a scheme, no contest We gonna love, gotta live these mantras Get a buzz from a hit of this do right Can't do enough so I met with the moonlight Moon Lady watch me and my babies Our radios tuned we're sailing Here's to change Yes they wanted their's to claim But the thing is: You write it, you sing it A brighter future, smarter youth, harvest fruit Now light the truth up Art is you Barter too Ain't hard to do life is always on time And time is now no sleepin' no grind Money on yours Family on mine And if they hate that I pay em no mind [Verse 2: Eligh] The music is heady heavy and moody But right now I feel like its just my duty The track is haunting and soothing Checking out my bruises Perusing pain in the muscles improving movement and loosely Sinking ships in my battlefield Cuz I don't think I need it any longer The battles old but the tape keeps spinning onward Its so hard when the brain keeps spinning like a merry go round Then step to the mound throwing strikes at the mic like a Cy Young winner With a rookie at bat and a greased up palm But at least I'm calm When I reach that time when I no longer need my songs Then you'll never hear from this man again, the end, and then I'm gone And then I'm on to the next, affects of a man who's never satisfied at 50% My test, I guess is the one that can't be studied for, can't use a buddy for Can't cheat, can't delete, can't skip Reach for the hands of god and once I'm there I check my grip Now never say never, so Ill never say Ill never slip Even though that choice is not optional, not written in my script Cuz that means death and I'm not ready to die Not yet, matter fact I'm ready to fly Fly feeling in the heart of a man means giving all I got to the game Until I make every last person feel the same I'm anxious to show my name to you, the time is now

[@cotybechtel3466]

[@kyle-6156]

You seriously knocked it out of the park with this one guys. I’ve been a fan of G&E since around 2000, and you guys are still impressing the fk out of me. It’s unreal. This one though, has me questioning how you can produce anything superior. Quite possibly my favorite track for the rest of my life.
