Like George Benson, Curtis Mayfield.. there's a giant long list of awesome musicians that never got recognition for being Bad M.F.s! But you're right wildman!
This song and video has years of ancestral pain, anguish and triumph in it. Now that I’m an adult, this hits DIFFERENT! Props to Anthony for putting his entire soul into this piece of art. My lord! ❤️🔥
❤ So true. Our men suffer in silence, trying to be strong. I'm thinking about a few of the men in my family😢 As women, sometimes we have been so selfish we didn't recognize they were suffering. It's time we heal the men in our families. It's time to step aside and let them lead.
@@charettaeaster753 i can say i was just feeling like that..sometimes i think so..but as u said we gotta stay prayed UP..but it get hard out here some times
If Anthony Hamilton's voice was food, it would be collard greens and cornbread. This brother is the soul food of music. Thank you Mr Hamilton for the nourishment of our souls...
@@RenegadeGunn you made the right decision. trust me, im in the same verdict. its sad, i know you and me both want kids. but its for the best to not have them. god knows and understands. we have to have peace with that
But it is up to you to break the chain for yourself. Yes, a lot of us have “Rolling Stones” for father’s. However, we weren’t fortunate to know their childhood, and what they encountered...
Just did 8yrs in federal prison this song hit my headphones when I was locked down today is my first time hearing as a free man and it still hits my heart the same way welcome freedom 2/17/18
😘 Love, peace & respect to Anthony Hamilton sharing his nature's richness called beautiful heartfelt 🎶 🎶 singing 🎶; and sharing his spirit's talent showing out and mimicking the art of the made-up words of communication in ways that many people can relate to the body movements by someway and or can relate to the art of the made-up communication having learnt the made-up art called words and English.✌
"Tried to be good, wanted nothing but to love somebody, didn't wanna die young steady hustling tryna feed my family"- its so touching OMG i feel the pain behind the voice...
You can tell this song was written from his soul ....u can feel the pain in his voice and his delivery just every single aspect of the song u can just feel the pain of his whole entire life .....he explained the pain he has gone through in life so elegantly in 4 minutes and 6 seconds of a song ....damn near impossible to do but he did it perfectly and he also made it so anyone who has gone through the struggle can relate and what else can I say he did it perfectly couldn't have been done any better imo u.....like I said to someone if you don't feel this in your soul then you either don't have one or have never gone through a struggle of any kind and are lucky as fuck because u have obviously had quite a great life with smooth sailing ....but anyone who has struggled in any type of way major or minor can and will relate to this song no matter age race or religion there is really no way you couldn't relate to this song ....and if u don't like I said above u never experienced struggle and are lucky or u just have no soul for real for real
True. As a matter of fact, the first sounds of the piano hit me every single time. Its like the pain starts with that opening sound. A longtime favourite of mine
This song felt like his Ancestors souls are harmonizing through him. I listen to this & K.C & Jo Jo "Life" back to back.... And through it all I feel blessed to be black and all that comes with it.

Right lol. Although It's technically not Rap & would be considered by we Black American standard as R & B. With that being said, as much as MODERN DAY Rappers SING in their raps you could possibly say that this indeed IS a rap by modern standards of so called hip hop ie Rap music which are 2 completely different things. One the former, Hip Hop is the culture lived, practiced, a religion so to speak. & the Rap music is the BUSINESS, the record Industry & has completely ZERO, NADA< NOTHING to do with Hip Hop as a culture. Had to throw that In there for educational purposes btw lol Bkz that's where a lot of people fk up & get confused & mash It altogether which is wrong bkz all the negative blame goes to Hip Hop which is the most POSITIVE aspect of the music It created, & just bkz It started there, meanwhile the record labels, companies get away with murder, no accountability, fault, or blame whilst they make billions But yeah bro. I'm a professional Artist & Music producer. The reason that I am here Is bkz I am DOWLOADING this song so that I CAN WRITE A RAP modern day style to this beat. I'm a producer 6 tuple threat genius type. I do it ALL from A to Z including my own Engineering & song\album mastering. This song carries a lot of meaning & weight for my people. It's also a song that came of during my coming of young adult age. & bottom line Is just a DOPE master piece of a song & a certified R & B classic. Shocked & happy that no one as of yet has tried to sample it & or re do it bkz I'm about to freak it, kill it My style is DEEP emotionally as well street. I'm from Compton California born & raised but also grew up partially down South in Tennessee, Kentucky & Alabama So the BLEND of my talents , artistry, versatility, intelligence, abilities, as well my geographic upbringings make me a prime candidate to PEN as well PRODUCE the whole song since I am gifted, blessed by GOD, well studied, trained IN all things music theory to do so I may REPLAY all the parts or just SAMPLE it being that technology allows for us to completely single out each part of a sample via STEMS that separate the the vocals, Bass, Keyboard, & Drums SO I'm about to roll a PHAT doobie & & get to banging this ready made hit out lol My job Is to do it JUSTICE & not F up the integrity of what AH did with it. The Artist names "Trouble Chyld" look for this song soon as a single & on my world premier (XXX secret) album!!!!!!
The question is, do we blame Daddy, or do we blame ourselves today, for not keeping the Laws, statutes, and commandments? Our ancestors got us in this jam because they broke the covenant. We Israelites today, are no different. We still walk around sinning...right?
times has gotten hard... sometimes u gotta do a lil dirt.... sometimes it get a lil lonely... sometimes u gotta walk alone... sometimes u gotta cry a little bit louder... Sometimes u gotta fight the pain... Sometimes i get a lil scared... Coming from where im from
His entire delivery in this song is drenched and dripping with pathos. You can physically FEEL the pain and emotion in his voice, down to the very marrow in your bones. We might imagine what that resonance must have felt like for him when first performing these songs for audiences and seeing his life's hardships reflected in their faces. The cathartic validation of finally being understood. The fact that he is and was able to be seen and heard like this is a part of the healing process. Not only for him, but indeed also us. This is the transformative power of art. This song is literally therapy.
2024 this song is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 and always will be!! Well done Anthony I’m a huge fan of all of your beautiful music thanks sweetie God BLESS You Always 🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏

Ya i know now they say get out ur feelings and r&b is depressing music tf shit feels good to me and sounds good r n b fell off compared to 90s miguel is poppun tho trey songz is poppun theres a few good ones but in the 90s there was alot sad now
My grandmother used to have his album with this song playing while we took trips for vacation. Listening to this made me relive those moments. I miss her dearly . Rest in Paradise Linda I love you 😔❤️
Seen some comments from 7-8 years ago and wow it really is like a time machine 🧍🏾♂️ who knows what these people are doing today? did life get a lil easier for them? did it get hard? are they still alive? who knows man 🤷🏾♂️ It’s just interesting to think about all that yk
I discovered Anthony hamilton in 2008, seen him in concert 3 times... a 4th times in London next week...The best thing i have seen on stage! Just too bad he is not more popular. peace.
We have all sinned and fallen short of Gods glory sin is terrible because of sin we are separated from God but gladly here is the good news Jesus Christ came and walked this earth for everyone taught us the perfect way to live and how we should live and he died for our sins because we need a sacrifice to pay the price for our sins since our sins deserve hell if we live in sin but also more good news Jesus rose from the dead three days later we have to leave the sin behind and put it away and live new with Jesus this world is like a vapor it passes away but your eternity is forever and it is up to you what you want to do with it…
White people from the sticks can relate to.. gotta drive a hour just to get to work everyday. my whole county is like the slums. we poor as fuck here too, it'd blow your mind.
The first time I heard this song was on the Chappelle show 17 years ago. It's still my favorite song and now that I'm facing 5-99 years for trying to keep a roof over my head. In a world that keeps the majority of us struggling; while the rest of us have to fight for the scraps. This song resonates in a way that brings tears to my eyes.
I don't know who needs to hear this but keep on traveling your road I pray you push through,life is full of ups and downs but a real survivor will survive in any condition! God bless you.
Sometimes you gotta (moan) Sometimes you gotta (cry a bit louder) Sometimes you gotta (fight the pain) Sometimes you gotta (walk alone) Sometimes you get a (Lil worried) yea.. Sometimes you get (lost out of touch) aww Sometimes I think I (pray a little to much)
@@richardedwards1546 Wow..! I'm a loser because I know a hook from a song word for word that I happen to dig..? That's says a lot about your character..
Irene Camarena ....big facts 💯💯💯 and u know what it's a damn shame too we def all ain't saints or perfect but we are human beings and have hearts and feelings even though we don't show that 98% of the time deep down there we def do we have shed tears over females before though most of us are reluctant to admit that I can gaurentee u every man has done that before in there lives that's a gaurentee I'm a man and I'm not ashamed to admit that I have done it on more than one occasion def more than once that's for sure but that's how y'all should know that we actually love u cuz if we have never she'd a tear over you then we never actually loved u and that's just me being honest from my experience with the women in my life the ones I shed some tears over I really loved and tbh still do cuz if I love u in the end I always will that's just how I am as a person ....the ones I didn't cry over I never gave a fuck about and still don't lol sad but true and I pretty much warned them in the beginning like hey I'm not looking for that type of relationship on that level I just got out of one and tbh I'm still kinda in love with her (still deeply in love with her but wanted to soften that a little bit to the people) but I was honest from jump so I didn't get it when they got mad because I still talked to her here and there and eventually got back together with her when they were told that !!!! Idk sorry rant over lol
My Niggaaaa !¡☆*❤ Wath can be said about this guy and his music that would validate all that he brings to the table GOD BLESSED ! Heart times don't last but when your going through that storm and it seems that you'r all alone and no human want to understand they can qoute you scriptures and say give it to God . And we all believe that all things are possible when it come to the Almighty. But when you alone and I alone in your head and self is Screaming you remember all them times when you were there for so and so now where they at. He says sometimes he think he pray to much. The hounds is on his trail. We are lost and out of touch reality doesn't seem real that when you start to make your on reality but this voice in the very back of your head tell s you I know you and have known you all is well if you just make it thru the another day.
He sayto scared to have kids and do what daddy did. It appears that daddy ran off on his responsibility as being an honorable father cause some men are spineless and refuse to do the right thing toward the kids he brings in to this world . He don't want to suffer . The pain that comes from the fun he was seeking when he layed down with that woman. Life gets Real real fast but if you stay down Joy will come .
I feel his heart while he is ministering this message... Sista girls can relate to this message too, thank you for puttin your heart in this song Young King 🥁🥁💖
Shame on you taking my heart ❤ and my life story and putting it on You Tube for all to see without my permission...with a hint of Al Green at that... Shame on you---
+nolan flemmings The more I listen to music and my tastes in it, the more I find that soul brings me back to life and remedies me when I feel down. Gives me strength and makes life a bit more tolerable. Because we can all relate how it is, to come from where we come from.
That's great to hear! You see, that's what genuine music is supposed to do. I try to keep it as genuine as possible when it comes to music. Once you stick to what's real; it become easier to see the bull.... in Everything!
This shows that music is color blind. I remember being 20 and listening to this when it came Out, the bad times and good happen to everyone. Not bailed out? Me too brotha. Your girl step out on you and you get heated and now you got a DV warrant? Me too...it goes down like this where I'm from too!
You never walk alone. Our Lord is always with you.
and can NEVER pray to much...but i dig the art form and sure he knows the Word..saw him in concert and big upped Jesus A LOT!!

That breakdown is godly 2:28 mark, that's what soul music is about
Played this 10 times in a row cried the whole time. I dont think music can have this much soul in it anymore
This song is still relevant.. even more now than ever... Thanks Anthony for putting it out there for the brothers!

I love me some Anthony Hamilton. Music like I grew up with. REAL MUSIC, he truly gets it
Sometimes you gotta walk to work ....sometimes you gotta walk alone sometimes you get lost outta touch felt this in my soul deep 💯💯💯💯💯💯
Sometimes I pray a lil to much.. But if still ain't enough that's Krazy
Walking to work is something that makes us humble and carry weight of our struggles while we do wtf we gotta do to survive!!
Only those who have been through tough times understands the true meaning of this song.....
Exactly man, I'm not in a good moment in my life and this song's giving me so much hope 😢
FACTS
The song always makes me cry. U will only understand if u can relate
For real
And laugh
💯💯💯🎯🙏🏽
Its hard to admit.....But...no doubt....this song brings it out!!!
NC is so proud of you, Anthony. I remember when you were handing out singles for this track.
“Sometimes you gotta walk to work”
That 4mi back & forth was a pain but I got it done
Have to swim to get dry too
Yep if you don't work you will strave u
@@jfagan8824 facts
Real talk
We have all sinned and fallen short of Gods glory sin is terrible because of sin we are separated from God but gladly here is the good news Jesus Christ came and walked this earth for everyone taught us the perfect way to live and how we should live and he died for our sins because we need a sacrifice to pay the price for our sins since our sins deserve hell if we live in sin but also more good news Jesus rose from the dead three days later we have to leave the sin behind and put it away and live new with Jesus this world is like a vapor it passes away but your eternity is forever and it is up to you what you want to do with it…
Now this is a story most of us young to middle age black men can relate to REAL TALK
Yeah!! lol
you're absolutely right. is like chronic stress, generation after generation deep song
even i know what you're talking about and i'm white
Good Music is colorblind
White people from the sticks can relate to.. gotta drive a hour just to get to work everyday. my whole county is like the slums. we poor as fuck here too, it'd blow your mind.
With new levels come new devils. Had to rock this this morning. ❤
If you been through real shit you can relate.
I wish everyone understood.
true...
+Bounce Nation yes sirr

The first time I heard this song was on the Chappelle show 17 years ago. It's still my favorite song and now that I'm facing 5-99 years for trying to keep a roof over my head. In a world that keeps the majority of us struggling; while the rest of us have to fight for the scraps. This song resonates in a way that brings tears to my eyes.
My prayer is that you stay FREE. Sending sisterly hugs with love.
@@SheWhoComesAtNight Stay blessed.
Free you
Can't believe it's been 17 years
Keep your faith bruh
Soul music 🎶 😢 I miss these day 78 baby scorpio ♏️ 🦂
Anthony Hamilton is the love of my damn life!!!!! Period…….
Real bad ❤
I don't know who needs to hear this but keep on traveling your road I pray you push through,life is full of ups and downs but a real survivor will survive in any condition! God bless you.
Thank you
Needed this thank you. And god bless you as well.
They say a soldier can fall 9 times it’s all about getting up the 10th
Sometimes you gotta (moan)
Sometimes you gotta (cry a bit louder)
Sometimes you gotta (fight the pain)
Sometimes you gotta (walk alone)
Sometimes you get a (Lil worried) yea..
Sometimes you get (lost out of touch) aww
Sometimes I think I (pray a little to much)
Was sitting with tears in my eyes last night once that part came on
Good job. You can hear and type what you heard. Loser
Yep too much
@@richardedwards1546 Wow..! I'm a loser because I know a hook from a song word for word that I happen to dig..? That's says a lot about your character..
@@taragoddess686 You know you had the option not to read my comment Right?
Man got to be from the mud to understand this masterpiece 🙌🏾
Rest up Kobe Bryant

to many men can relate to this song!! comin from where I'm from!!!( Grew up in the projects)
the life were handed aint as easy as movies make it look it out to be sugar this song really hits home for me tbh
Irene Camarena ....big facts 💯💯💯 and u know what it's a damn shame too we def all ain't saints or perfect but we are human beings and have hearts and feelings even though we don't show that 98% of the time deep down there we def do we have shed tears over females before though most of us are reluctant to admit that I can gaurentee u every man has done that before in there lives that's a gaurentee I'm a man and I'm not ashamed to admit that I have done it on more than one occasion def more than once that's for sure but that's how y'all should know that we actually love u cuz if we have never she'd a tear over you then we never actually loved u and that's just me being honest from my experience with the women in my life the ones I shed some tears over I really loved and tbh still do cuz if I love u in the end I always will that's just how I am as a person ....the ones I didn't cry over I never gave a fuck about and still don't lol sad but true and I pretty much warned them in the beginning like hey I'm not looking for that type of relationship on that level I just got out of one and tbh I'm still kinda in love with her (still deeply in love with her but wanted to soften that a little bit to the people) but I was honest from jump so I didn't get it when they got mad because I still talked to her here and there and eventually got back together with her when they were told that !!!! Idk sorry rant over lol
Irene Camarena RISE KINGS 😍🐦
Right BLACK MEN STAND
I'm a woman and I can relate
I can't believe I came across this on a tornado video on reddit! his voice got soul! And his lyrics meaning! They don't make em like they used to!
My Niggaaaa !¡☆*❤ Wath can be said about this guy and his music that would validate all that he brings to the table GOD BLESSED ! Heart times don't last but when your going through that storm and it seems that you'r all alone and no human want to understand they can qoute you scriptures and say give it to God . And we all believe that all things are possible when it come to the Almighty. But when you alone and I alone in your head and self is Screaming you remember all them times when you were there for so and so now where they at. He says sometimes he think he pray to much. The hounds is on his trail. We are lost and out of touch reality doesn't seem real that when you start to make your on reality but this voice in the very back of your head tell s you I know you and have known you all is well if you just make it thru the another day.
He sayto scared to have kids and do what daddy did. It appears that daddy ran off on his responsibility as being an honorable father cause some men are spineless and refuse to do the right thing toward the kids he brings in to this world . He don't want to suffer . The pain that comes from the fun he was seeking when he layed down with that woman. Life gets Real real fast but if you stay down Joy will come .
I feel his heart while he is ministering this message... Sista girls can relate to this message too, thank you for puttin your heart in this song Young King 🥁🥁💖
Thanks beauty love is what bring everyone together
Shame on you taking my heart ❤ and my life story and putting it on You Tube for all to see without my permission...with a hint of Al Green at that...
Shame on you---
It really means something when you listen to the song and it begins to make relations no matter how little... That's Soul Power.
+nolan flemmings The more I listen to music and my tastes in it, the more I find that soul brings me back to life and remedies me when I feel down. Gives me strength and makes life a bit more tolerable. Because we can all relate how it is, to come from where we come from.
That's great to hear! You see, that's what genuine music is supposed to do. I try to keep it as genuine as possible when it comes to music. Once you stick to what's real; it become easier to see the bull....
in Everything!
Take a bow for that comment my brudda .... 👍🏽💯
This is the truth!! speaking from the heart💯 track is Real asf
Words cannot describe how much I love this song ❤
"Sometimes I think I (pray a little to much)".....so deep ,that's when you've been praying and shits still not coming together.....just keep going
This song is a masterpiece. So damn good… Sometimes you gotta walk to work!!!!
This shows that music is color blind. I remember being 20 and listening to this when it came
Out, the bad times and good happen to everyone. Not bailed out? Me too brotha. Your girl step out on you and you get heated and now you got a DV warrant? Me too...it goes down like this where I'm from too!
This song is a classic and Anthony Hamilton is a gem that we needed in music even to this day just a true talent ❤❤❤
This song/Album came out while I was in Afghanistan back in 03 and it helped me
get through my last few months being there 💯.
This is exactly where I am right now....Love this...
patterson7059 crock
