[@giggs112008]

Masterpiece is right...Thank you to underground music/non-sell out artist like Zion I, The Grouch, Murs, entire Living Legends crew, Blackalicious, Scarface, Kool G Rap, Aesop Rock, Dead Prez, Immortal Technique, Saul Williams, Devin the Dude, Boot Camp Click, Bahamadia, CunninLynguists, Masta Ace, Eyedea, etc just to name a few...you make a brother keep faith in REAL hip-hop/rap music...no amount of thanks can express my sincere and deepest gratitude...LOVE YOU ALL...no homo...lol

[@ebolabbq3130]

Rock it man and silly putty, are both spiritual boosters! Who needs coffee when you have these two lyrical reverends preaching positivity in your ears? It's a true blessing waking up in the morning hearing these flows. They keep me sane! That's real talk!

[@mankena]

This is the positive that hip hop is starving for. The message of G&E&Z will be shared w my daughter. Bonding through music and positivity. Can't wait for G&E 2.

[@BigSnacks93]

If only this kind of stimulating music was played on the radio.

[@J0KAHs]

I swear Zion I and the Grouch are like the best combo in the world

[@mimiwawatw]

How come this song is not famous yet? This is incredible.

[@AN-999]

10 years later, i can answer you, hoping you're alive and well and still have great music taste; people are intellectually, artisctically,...cheap, hence the cheap "art". And Wagner, Kant, Nietzsche and many more wrote about this.

[@TGFC503]

You see to me these two men are more than just your UG(underground) soulful poerty sayers. They are teachers. I believe that they have the power to be heard louder than anyone in our history as a nation. And if enough take people will sit and the time to listen they would understand. To me The Grouch And Zumbi are the MLK,JFK, Malcom X and whoever else of OUR time Their words are just as if not more inspiring. They can change this world. But only if we let them. Tell everybody.LET THEM BE HEARD!

[@listen2GnE]

Lyrical Genius. The Grouch is my true hero, every word holds a key that unlocks a door in your mind which unleashes a flow of imagination, or connects you to the lyrics, I live in his music.

[@caipo]

Seriously, THE SHIT!! listened over a dozen times already

[@Ricosuave19]

This truthful song will never get old. Thank you! ♥️

[@TheShanhtelle]

This is flawless, it needs nothing.

[@AP101eso]

Isnt it dope this shit is comin out Oakland!!! a city with such problems, violence and negativity yet this great positive hip hop music comes out. It shows the diversity of music and people in Oakland! I love my city

[@jackyruby2545]

I watched this when I was so stoned, It's a trip yo♡

[@mrmrsk219]

Still bumping in 2022

[@DRUMnBLESSed]

Z&G&E is the best combo in my humble opinion though i have immeasurable amounts of Love for all the Living Legends.

[@jrodrichterscale]

I love this song very much!

[@booyaaka]

I knew I recognized that chick. That's Silk-E from The Coup! With her and K.Flay, you've got a classic song!

[@Suicidal-801]

Am I the only one still listening to this in 2020?

[@AN-999]

"Inside is where we all know" this is some philosophical stuff. If you know, you know.

[@EBOUNS]

PEACE!

[@cantride55]

this NEEDS MILLIONS of VIEWS!!! Spread it like wild FIRE!!!

[@djkrylon]

Zumbi is the illest emcee with the sickest lyrics and flows! Damn, I've seen Zion I grow quick!! Wise hip hop, we slap this loud out here in the bay. Much love. One

[@D1A2S3I4L5V6A7]

Legendary.

[@GeToLaMaR]

Words cannot describe this masterpiece. I want to melt.

[@aesopnovatheory8922]

This song was way ahead of its time, but the video is even more progressive for 2011 than anything else ive seen in awhile. The video made this song 10x more vivid and really shows that the underground is way ahead of mainstream. The editing is tasteful and not overdone whatsoever, and they really smashed the whole "budget" concept without making it cheesy or forced. Great song and video!

[@altoe26]

Ive been a strong supporter of the grouch and the whole living legends crew...cant wait to get a tattoo portrait of the grouch

[@DjJohnnyPe]

I like my hip-hop/ rap when the lyrics hit harder then the beat. Thank you Zion I. You can quote me on that to

[@kaylaschmid347]

As soon as I see Zion I and The Grouch's names grouped together I know there are going to be lyrics to guide my life by. Epic.

[@GeToLaMaR]

It's been a year now and I'm finally back from liquid form. I am preparing to experience The Grouch, Eligh, Zion I, and Murs, August 30th here on Maui. I have a feeling it will take longer to return after this one... Farewell with love to my fellow Truth Music Seekers.

[@godbud90]

Nice to know there is still hope being presented, and it's deeper then the "fast-food" music out there.

[@JxDawgy223]

Rip zumbi 🕊

[@redshedllc9054]

The message in your guys music is unbelievably amazing .the lyrics are aolid and hit hard .

[@GodlikePlaylist]

[Verse 1: The Grouch] The truth is hard to swallow, baby, get a bigger bottle You ain't going full throttle, this'll make you crawl, though Inside is where we all know what's right and wrong, I'll draw slow Let the flaws go 'til they grow into a model Then everybody follows even though foundation's hollow Like thinking you're a father just because you made a daughter Or daily chasing dollars, now that ain't it, we all know I could be a baller, rather answer my call though I'm raw, yo, spit how it was saw, so We ain't gonna lose, it ain't the shoes, and it ain't all the smoke Mirrors see you clearer, start with you just like Michael did I could change a world with this music more than rifles, shoot It's a gift, it's a curse, talking 'bout your birth, now whatcha worth Not in gold but in your soul, mature it and we could flourish Lately we've been discouraged, un-cherished and malnourished, repeat it Like you a parrot, regurgitate like other birds So far from just some words, if we're assertive we'll be heard What's the verdict? What's deserved? So what if I struck a nerve? I suck if it's just a curve, that ruckus is just a blur Won't last past the blast off, I'm on to other worlds [Hook: Silk-E] This one goes out to you All my soldiers around the world Put your ones up in the air, if you If you are a rockit man Said I am a rockit man Rockit man (ooh) Rockit man [Verse 2: Zumbi] Hold tight, I'm melanin, listen what I'm telling ya Solomon was wise but too many wives was killing him Learn to be a rockit, we exist at subatomic Levels, all them devils that you keep in your pocket Return to they sender, getting burned in your optic Now the cycle has a logic, some would call it cosmic Shoot it like a rockit man, I adopt a proper plan Am I prepared? Where? Future world is here Up out of this atmosphere, yeah, but I still see clear (yeah) Spread more love, no fear in here, gotta be sure as we get near Coming up on a higher zone, know you'll never be alone Feel the bass within your dome, when I'm in space I feel at home I'm in another dimension We hold the key to this life's destiny I'm a lost dream haunting around your city OG's, spreading the seeds, we seek peace [Hook] [Outro: Silk-E] Fly until I reach the sun Touch the stars, just 'til dawn I'm a rockit, I'm a rockit man Hop up on my shoulder blades We can soar for days and days I'm a rockit, I'm a rockit man

[@gilla87]

44th view, instant classic

[@flame19719]

@J0KAHs In terms of lyrical importance and the perfect voice collaboration I'd say they are right up there with Pac and B.I.G

[@Sadeye92]

Press Play Then Pause Then 2 to make the Grouch talk!!

[@Psynyde]

That bridge is sung by K. Flay. I'd know that voice anywhere.

[@brandon0981]

@4Micahful I couldn't have said that better myself, more people need to think like you do.
