A few years later, Aloe would “stow away” on a Lootpack European tour and become fast friends with Oh No – a relationship which led to many fruitful collaborations as a solo artist.
These days, Aloe Blacc has evolved into a true Renaissance man – dubbed “the indie R. Kelly” by online retailer Turntable Lab. Recordings like his Latin cover of John Legend’s “Ordinary People” prove that – not only can this multi-instrumentalist produce, rap and sing – but he can flip it in Spanish, too. With an amazingly broad set of influences ranging widely from the acoustic guitar stylings of folk artist Cat Stevens, to the soul-stirring sounds of the Negro Spirituals, Aloe prides himself on the spectrum of his musical roots. His sound often forays into the digital R&B realm, but always grooves with a tinge of Latin and the pulse of hip-hop.
Hello World
Aloe Blacc Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hello world, it's nice to meet you
I've been waiting for this moment all my life
Hello world, the past is over
It's time for us to come together and make the future right
[Pre-Chorus:]
I had an epiphany one night
[Chorus:]
The world is ours
The world is ours
The world is ours
Seven billion stars
(We are we are we are we are)
(We are we are we are we are)
The world is ours
[Verse]
Hello world, the sun is rising
It doesn't matter who you are, the sun still sets the same
Hello world, undivided
Don't matter if you win or lose, it's how you play the game
[Chorus:]
The world is ours
The world is ours
The world is ours
Seven billion stars
(We are we are we are we are)
(We are we are we are we are)
The world is ours
[Bridge:]
From the sky to the sea to the air that we breathe
To the depths of the earth to the stars
The world is ours, all ours
The world is ours, all ours
[Chorus:]
(We are we are we are we are)
(We are we are we are we are)
The world is ours
The song “Hello World” by Aloe Blacc starts off with a warm welcoming, as if introducing oneself to the world for the first time. The first line of the song, “Hello world, it’s nice to meet you,” represents the notion of meeting and connecting. Throughout the song, the phrase “Hello world” is repeated several times, as if to emphasize the importance of acknowledging the world around us. The opening verse also suggests that the singer has been waiting for this moment all their life, indicating that there is some kind of realization or epiphany they have felt recently.
The pre-chorus section of the song alludes to that epiphany where the singer looks up into the sky and reflects on the vastness of the world. The chorus is then repeated twice during the song, with the lines “The world is ours, seven billion stars,” suggesting that the world belongs to all of us. The second verse mentions the sunrise, representing a new beginning and a new day, and ultimately emphasizing that everyone is equal in the eyes of the sun.
The bridge section reaffirms the idea that every aspect of the world surrounding us belongs to us- it is our world. Overall, the song’s message is about unifying ourselves, coming together as people to share this world, and to appreciate and respect everything the world has to offer.

Media wants us divided. That's why songs like this aren't blared on the radio.

ZDdoesMC What makes each of us unique and special is ignored. Instead, generalizations are made of those we already have suspicions about. Those generalizations and prejudices don't come from the media, they come from our history and our society.
