Tony Hawk games have introduced me to so many great songs, real hip-hop which is why I find myself loving the underground scene so much more passionately than mainstream. Thanks Tony Hawk!
It's not a happy song, but if someone isn't listening to the lyrics, they'd hear the upbeat instrumental, bob their head, and carry on. That's the point- it's musical irony, downtrodden lyrics about living a lie by keeping a smile despite immeasurable hardship and heartache. The "happy" instrumental (complete q laugh tracks) mirror the lyrics- the song, like it's narrator, is at the surface, without listening to the lyrics, cheerful and upbeat. Upon closer inspection, though... well, you get it.
Thanks for understanding the song like I do. He had hard times at those times, but still managed to spit it. We all grow old. Am coolin. It is def a depressing song, but it also resounds rebirth. At least that is how I perceived it in those days.
went into a music shop with a mate shopping yesterday, i picked up some headphones to see what the quality was like and pressed play on the store ipod... this was playing! so glad i pick those headphones up and not some other ones!
i don't even like rap and hip hop that much - but this kind of old school vibe is just the best - it reminds me of summer days - can't wait for the summer xD
This song reminds me of this DVD that my dad had in the late 90s I think or early 2000s..it was full of music videos like this, Sabotage from the Beastie boys and Weapon Of Choice from Fatboy Slim...I need to find this DVD again..
To me, he's saying that even he's got it made as a rapper, he still has problems like you and me. But he still keeps his head up and only think about the positive.
that shows how clever fatlip is. he dresses up like a clown with balloons and a happy beat, but read the lyrics. its talking about his rise and fall. and his hope for a comeback

@@NickyCool05 pretty sure tony didnt pull out the soundtrack but ok bro. haha
I'll never forget those days on my n64 rocking fakies and 900s while bumpin fatlip 😎
10 years later man. I don’t even associate this with Tony Hawk anymore… stuck with me.
Tony Hawk's American Wasteland had always been the best soundtrack in my opinion
The world of rap needs a lot more honesty. This track is still a breath of fresh air.
Honestly. I can't think of another song so real and confessional.

The instrumental is not upbeat, It is melancholic.
@@jr-km2rd if I had one word to describe it I'd say nostalgic
I got to hang out with Lip a while while working the night shift at my hotel. A cool cat. I'll support him with whatever he puts out.

This is my jam, Fatlip is preaching right here! I know exactly how hes feeling
2nd verse..sounded like he was rappin about me lol
😂😂
this has been FaZe Jevs background music for so long, i just found it and i’m SO happy
The ultimate "everything's gonna be alright" track
The same reason you listen to it when youre feeling down. It makes you feel better (aka happy).

The honesty is refreshing. I hate fake ass materialistic rap. Niggas be cappin
Not proud about how relatable this song is
Lmao, i heard this song in a tony hawk game. Loved it. Brings back many memories.
The fact that Cardi B, Nicki Minaj, modern Eminem, Lil Nas X, etc. get more recognition than this genius is actually embarrassing
Take eminem out of that list ya noob
@@SemajResarf modern Eminem is what I meant

This is the best song to wake up to.

Watch the documentary titled "What's up Fatlip?". The three part one. The history behind this song is wonderful.
i dont listen to this kind of music but this song...so pretty... like sthis much...
in T.H.AW i heard this often... great
This song reminds me of this DVD that my dad had in the late 90s I think or early 2000s..it was full of music videos like this, Sabotage from the Beastie boys and Weapon Of Choice from Fatboy Slim...I need to find this DVD again..

To me, he's saying that even he's got it made as a rapper, he still has problems like you and me. But he still keeps his head up and only think about the positive.
