Who else loves that verse "Fuck it just tell them the truth,
Tell them no man can take nothing from you,
Tell them your skin is to thick and you'll die about this,
They don't possess the spirit you do,
Tell them your city is counting on you,
You go home with nothing they probaly kill you,
This ain't life or death for them,
Just close your eyes and count to Ten!!
Solid poetry 👌👌

Just discovered this band. The images here bring back memories from my youth that just hit home. The poverty, the scraping, the "going without" and its hard not to get choked up watching this. I get choked up and then I get angry. Im only two steps ahead of being back there and I swear, like he said in this song, I aint going back. This is one of those tunes that ANY band / artist would be damn proud to say they wrote it. Unless you lived that life, you can never understand.

@Ken Bober having a great family life and choosing drugs over it ain't shit to the horrors this man has lived.
Watch any movie read any story you go any where you want you will absolutely never come close to feel what he lived as a helpless child. It's disrespectful to even think your choices relate you to what he was born into.

It's a good thing that it makes it impossible to forget those things. I feel like that's the point for sure. And never forget, ever. Struggle builds character so let your Struggle be an advantage. Thicket armor, more adequate problem solving skills and most important adaptation to any situation

Real hip hop (not the radio mass appeal hits talking ((GangStarr, RIP Guru) money, cars, and bitches, but the stories of how they get those and of why our country gives them less opportunity to get those) and American folk (be it new/old folk, punk folk,country folk, outlaw country, or singer/songwriter folk) are incredibly similar in many ways from heavy reliance on storytelling, speaking of the societally forced hardships of the downtrodden, and using previous generations songs of their same genre (or it's genres predecessor,like funk or R&b) to make new music with be it samples in rap or changing old folk songs with new parts.

Like your comparison I feel much the same way. Something but the rough upbringing and outlaw ways has that feel.

i love how this band came out of no where, came from nothing and now uses their music to tell real stories that many of us can relate to. This is one band that deserves SO much more love than what they get. best part is none of their stories are fake, these are things they saw and lived through. LETS GET THIS BAND WHAT THEY DESERVE! share the fuck out of this!

It's amazing seeing the story of where you guys came from, how you had close to nothing but held on to something that was close to your heart and they couldn't take away. This video reminded me of what it was like for my sister and I having to live with no water, washing our dishes on the lawn when we we did and sleeping on mattresses in the living room cuz there was no room and too hot all the time. Things weren't quite as desperate for us as they were for you guys growing up I'm sure, however it does strike a chord about the struggle just to live and feeling like your just waiting to die with every step you take. I cannot wait for the new album and thank you King for making your voices loud enough for people like me or anyone else struggling. King is love!

David, as someone who’s been in your situation, on the west side of the state, even with the bullet and knife wounds to prove it, you’re a legend. You have spoken to my soul. You show me that we, as men, are impervious to bullets, blunt objects or other weapons. As a wise man once said, “those who reap the blessings of freedom must undergo the fatigue of supporting it.” May you forever be in health.
