[@brainthebrian3690]

More like their most actual song, song, so far.

[@HonestDoubter]

[@Presence_o_Mind]

Same bro! I used to have this on repeat back in the day. Was so sooped, when they announced that this album was a part of a 3 album project back then. ✊

[@djwill1724]

This song just resonates deep in my soul 🙏👆👌💯

[@IAMDJPOT]

This is still one of my favorite De La Soul Tracks at the end of 2024

[@EricEsteves]

"Paid dues and still got bills to pay." I've listened to and cried to this song so many times over the last 20+ years and even more in the past month. #DeLaForever

[@HonestDoubter]

Damn Eric. Me too brother. I’m here if you need to lean. I get you.

[@statenis33]

No shame in that friend. This song is beautiful.

[@RicoBanani]

Hope you keeping well

[@OfficialMikeyMoTheMC]

This song saved my life in 98. Thank you De La. We miss you Dave.

[@hunterwhitner6998]

Funny it transcends. Saved .y life when I was 11 years old in 06. "Wanna flip grammar instead of grams"

[@canaisyoung3601]

Not to nitpick, but this came out in 2001.

[@SubstantialMusic]

Forever my favorite song from De La Soul. Teared up the first time I played it. I was working with kids in Brownsville when this dropped. It was a rough place to work. Started playing the album on the way to work. Got off and this was the first song I heard when I got off after a challenging day with the yout'dem. The second those kids say "Yes we're ready"... waterworks. 😭 Thank you De La. Rest well, Dave. 🙏🏾✊🏾

[@LiberdadeBatora]

you did the same thing for me when I first heard Eclipse, you living legend ❤

[@SubstantialMusic]

@@LiberdadeBatora I'm honored, fam. Thank you.

[@1ron_Mik3]

I've been listening to de la for over 30yrs and I still tear up Everytime I hear this song. Real recognize real

[@nickpeitchev7763]

[@brianwilson3161]

This song hits hard when you’re grinding and trying to get to a better place

[@mutechannel13]

De La did for us and continues to do it for us. 🕊🕊🕊🕊 Fly High Dove.

[@dasdabeatjunkie]

Such a beautiful song. Listening to it alone in the car really hits you. Especially after going through some heavy shit. Doesn’t get realer than this.

[@gregc7699]

makes me😢 when Dave says that line, y'all know the one 😢 RIP

[@pauldarko5182]

Yes dude we do 🙏🏾✊🏾

[@adrianfrost5862]

Back when hip hop was so righteous. We need the resurrection.

[@livefromplanetearth]

i listened to this song on repeat for a whole summer i love y’all

[@andriolo]

Dave is so real on this song RIP

[@HonestDoubter]

Dave said we gotta hold on.

[@carmenfernandes7147]

He always was😢

[@nathanielbolden5053]

I dedicate this one to my 2 brothers that’s no longer of this world as well as Phife Dawgg and Dave “TRUGOY” Jolliceur

[@funkworthrollin4959]

Say. Word. My bros are not here either...cuz.R.I.P bros. I miss you...

[@jeronimofreeman]

From the soul straight to the soul. I missed life without this. I messed up. I miss alot. Rip Trugoy. Unlike today hip hop, this hip hop wants you to take a stand and be a man. Stay up yall. Remember yourself

[@Serbinnhio]

This song has been a such a treasure since I first heard it. I come back to it at least once a year. The messaging powerful and everlasting, in different stages of life.

[@1SUNGODELBASIR]

"HE DID IT FOR US..." /G\ R.I P.

[@TheUnOfficialZerrickBeats]

"He did it for us".

[@kyleshuler2929]

"Its natural to fall off, just land close to the tree " Bro as i age this song becomes more and more relevant. Crazy how i knew it was dope when i was younger but never truly appreciated it.

[@mrjaybennett80]

I cry every time I hear this song.

[@funkworthrollin4959]

It's beautiful. Listen to Immortal Techniques- leaving the past.

[@pauldarko5182]

I feel that pain bro

[@maryannappiagyei4277]

Same here

[@clintondavis7921]

Man i appreciate yall cryin with me. This is scripture to me.

[@kewldean]

For the last 13 years I’ve been coming back to KZbin to play this song all the time because I can’t find it on streaming elsewhere which really makes me sooo sad, it’s one’a my fave songs of all time

[@nickpeitchev7763]

Trying People is one of the greatest pieces of music made by anyone in sny genre. Big ups De La for uplifting the people

[@kerovasquez876]

I miss my highschool years man! Real Hip hop was still appreciated! These young kids don’t even know

[@carmenfernandes7147]

So true❤

[@Jani28]

One of my favorites by them RIP Trugoy 🕊 ❤ 🗽

[@ndamulelogumani]

Impossible not to feel something when playing this...De La is special

[@no_stalgia37]

"Mistakes are trials that we learn from, in order to live life you must earn one" damn....

[@redsimmons6791]

Beyond Beautiful Song✅. Crazy how the Kids Say There Ready to Take on This World 🌎. Having no Idea how Life is the biggest Challenge they’ll ever face. 👶🏼👶🏽👶🏾👶🏿👶🏻👧🏼👧🏽👧🏾👧🏿👧🏻 ✨Rest EZ Plug 🔌 2✨

[@rossanderson4141]

Notice that the comments here are filled with emotions and vulnerability. That's what DeLa is.. ELOQUENTLY POETIC AND FILLED WITH REAL LIFE. They are not rap. It's some kind of abstract version of THE BEST OF OURSELVES. So beyond any particular description. SO PROFOUNDLY BEAUTIFUL. De La SouL iZ finally FREE. ELOHE°IMIN. 🤔☀️💎

[@dennismaorwe]

This is it.

[@chev7582]

My auntie died from cancer back in November. Dave died almost approximately four months after her. This song hit me hard for both of them. 😢❤ 💔 One of the most real, spiritual tracks ever produced in hip-hop.

[@derrickwhatley582]

Man this song had me tear up when Mace played it at Jazzy Jeff newyear party. R.I.P Dave -De La Soul forever

[@VendettaPtown]

If you grew up listening to De La you are Gen X. The Generation of Hiphop! 😎

[@canaisyoung3601]

I'm first wave Millennial (1981 to 1996. Born in 1985) and I listened to this and other De La Soul songs as a teenager because I just wanted some good rap music to listen to.

[@moseshimalatjie979]

2024 🇿🇦🇿🇦. De la soul forever

[@JuicyJLee]

I think i am the only South African that bangs thia beautiful jam in my neighborhood 😂..the young cats dont say anything but they listen. I will not stop banging such songs. FROM outkast to Goodie to bone i wont stop🎉

[@chrisclements4676]

Ugh!! This song hits me in the heart every time!! It speaks to the hurt of going through my divorce; missing my kids; being deployed to Iraq…..all at the same time! Yep, I’ve had many moments of introspection listening to this…..if there’s such a thing as “grown folks hip hop”…..this is it. RIP Dave and thank you for the gems my man ❤

[@JasonEwing-x1q]

Maybe the best you guys have ever been ❤So far..... RIP DAVE HOPE YOU STILL BUMPING UP THERE ✊🏿

[@DJBIGBINKK]

[@neiltaylor6443]

What is it with this monumental track?Its pulls at my heart and the tears flow but I’ll still come back to it.I guess sometimes we all need to release that pressure. Omar’s Outside has the same effect.Peace and love people 🙏🏾❤

[@gregwest2129]

People are you ready, make sure the headstone reads he did it for us 😪 #riptrugoythedove aka Dave ❤. This song makes me think of my divorce and losing touch with my two children then later on having another child and losing touch with her also. When I hear people are you ready I 😭❤🙏🏽❤ maybe I'll get all three of them back someday ❤.

[@zerglan20]

I also went through an awful divorce and totally understand; it's so hard being disconnected from your kids. I love this song because it sums up all the bitter things life puts us through, and the chorus reminds you of the beauty and determination that can help us make our lives a little better if we stay aware and focused on what is good in the world.

[@ShakitaAllen]

Peace and Love.

[@teenagemutantninjagaijin6387]
