I'm a white guy from New England and this song still feels so relatable and clarifying. Speaks to the power of good writing and deep thought behind the lyrics.
You can be white, black, brown, yellow, grey, purple, red, whatever Bro... MUSIC IS LIFE AND LIFE IS MUSIC ❤ Greetings and love from Amsterdam ❤
lol I'm a white atheist and love this song
I'm a whitish woman from Olde England, and it even resonates with me. Got the cd back in the early 90's, but unlike that this music never gets old.
This is still relevant in Tennessee. Racism still thrives, systemic oppression is a tool for the rich and white. Old money still thrives off of the theological foundations of slavery turned capitalism, romanticizing clansman as a past time brought down generations until present.
Rest in Peace Radcliffe Bailey (Nov. 2023), the internationally recognized artist sketching in this video. Rad died of Brain cancer at the age of 55. He had an amazing career and leaves an wonderful legacy behind. A son of Atlanta, Georgia. He will be missed.
Peace be upon him, may the Ancestors protect & guide him!
Glioblastoma-no Doubt.
In Medicine, we call THAT one "The Terminator."
"Death be Not Proud" was read to us in the Seventh Grade, about author John Gunther's Son's losing battle with it...back in 1948. He would be Little Better Off in 2024.
Rest in Peace to our loved and lost ones!!! C U ALL IN HEAVEN HOPEFULLY!!!!

These guys and PM Dawn....way ahead of their times!
Peace To The Gods! PM Dawn? Lol 😂 yo I’ll never forget when KRS bum rushed their set yo!
Yes! PM Dawn were great.

PAUSE 😂
Black Eyed Peas, before that chick Furgmdus piss pants joined. Jurassic 5, Kool Keith, Diggable, People Under the Stairs. Charlie Tuna. I miss real Hip-Hop!
Dionne Ferris' vocals at the end, still give me chills to this day.
Ok
Factz
Wow
Wonder if she still makes music?
She's so beautiful and amazing
I am white. I grew up on a farm in the middle of nowhere. I remember hearing this song. (I was/am a huge music fan) this made me cry. My parents didn’t “really” teach me about different cultures. I learned on my own. At 11. I was crying over this song. Then it just went from there... have been studying black culture, and learning for years. (Still do not know everything) my family would laugh at me for “not wanting to be white” after learning history on my own. This was when I was about 12. I felt sooo ashamed. But now that I am MUCH 😂 older, I realize I can help other people just learn and understand. I don’t have to be ashamed for being white. I can stand for rights for others! I can help other people find peace, and love for EVERYONE! 💕💕🙌🏽🙌🏽✌🏾✌🏾
Maybe you should study white culture and blacks don't need your help!

@@hemlock91 hemlock shut up.( from a black man)
@@bunchabull5324 No,no I wont.
Jodi Kerns, do you still feel ashamed for being white? Don't be...God has called on us to be who we are. Does not the potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and another for dishonor?
It's a dishonor to hate what God created (different races). Don't be ashamed of your skin tone because our ancestors wanted to hate and not love.
Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.
Love your neighbor the same as Christ loves you.
Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good.
As a Nigerian, I cannot stopped listening to their song everyday at 48 going to 49 by March 😢🇳🇬
❤bruh
Brother ❤
From the mother
Im Mexican im 46 and love listening to them in the 90s. Still love them
It's awesome isn't it?❤❤❤ Peace and love from America
One of the deepest songs ever. Reaching to God for answers in a pop song without being corny. Bought this cassette as a kid. I remember this album hitting me hard in my morals. Much Respect to Arrested Development.
It was a great song in ‘93
Yeahh
@dameonlaunert68damn, Chris be dropping gems
@dameonlaunert68short term memory as far as?
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
As a kid, this was a jam. As an adult, it’s poetry.
Yes!
👏🏽 This comment is poetry. ❤
I wish this was my comment
Bro best comment here❤
Ohhhhh loves
This song hit different when you grown and understand the lyrics.
moblack The Blues. When you’re grown, you understand the lyrics because of empathy and sympathy. I’m white, but I can put myself in a similar situation in my life and feel the emotion the music portrays. I may not share common experiences, but we all share the same emotions. It’s a hip hop, blues, and gospel tune. Nicely done, Arrested Development!💕
moblack so different 🙏🏻 x x
Christine Parker Civello beautifully put ❤️ x x
I understood the lyrics when I was kiddo.
I’m just a nerd like that, lol.
Which part hit you different?
The spiritual quest for truth or the black power racism?
The message hits deeper when you get older
Hell yeah it does
No wonder this group didn't go anywhere. Too much truth in one song directed at The Most High. ❤
They captured us and y'all. Arrested Development though. Amen 👊🏾🎧☮️⛪
They did pretty good.
They found too many sellouts and flooded the airwaves with flashy trash. They killed the movement after 92'
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Bruh this was literally a pop group and sold ten million records and won two grammys
"I climb the trees my forefathers hung from."
-That hits you right in the soul.
yes lord it did an still does !!!
:')))))))))))))
Thats true, we as white people need to be able to talk about the atrocities our ancestors did to an entire race of people without getting defensive over the issue, that way we can have a better understanding about this society we live in now, and can actually contribute as best as we can to healing this wound that years of slavery left behind.
@Jack park what r u talking about? Are u talking about reperations? Besides, this band is from Atlanta and Im American were talking about racism in America. Racism is too complicated of a thing to just gereralize across countries. Every nation has their own history.
I'm 38 years old and just now caught this!
I am the whitest man in the history of white men. I love this song. One of the best songs ever made. Speech is so cool! He looks cool just standing there. Genius, pure genius!
Music has no race! I'm black and listen to Lynyrd Skynyrd and Metallica!
I headbang & give the devil-horn sign to great R&B/Hip-hop songs like this!
Im a black man and i love Randy Travis, Toby Keith and Darius Rucker lol good music is good music no matter what your race is
No youre not White but Colourfull Just as these beautifull people are 💐
luv this
STILL BLASTING THIS IN 2024
Blk consciousness in the 90’s was unmatched
Facts and now it's so sad.
💯
I wish we'd get back to that.
Yes. I miss it...❤
Praying it gets better. If we could all just stop fighting each other...but this song was the jam back in the day
Arrested Development was a crazy talented band and in my opinion is one of the most innovative bands ever! They are so unique, it was hard for people to really appreciate the band because nothing else close sounded like them. This band incorporated African sounds, with rap, and gave a modern version of the songs of slaves and their struggles with the lyrics of black pride and proud of their southern black heritage! Tennessee in my opinion is in my top 25 songs of all time!
Yes!!!!!
I agree. One of the best of this century
@@SadieB1122 great sound, rythm and words...playing with words is an art NOT well played most of the time.
Well stated!
Who gives a fuck?
Man, this takes me back to summers of 92 and 93. Hanging with my friends Jonathan, Gabe, Nappy Jack, Bryce and the rest. We were black, white, hispanic, asian... didn't matter. We were friends, and none of our folks tried to tell us we shouldn't be.
Life has shown me what a unique blessing that was. I appreciate it that much more as I get older.
The nostalgia really hit me just now. I love God, and thank Him for blessing Arrested Development, to make such a beautiful and real song.
Had a crew of friends around that time also....all different races. Didn't matter. We weren't looking for reasons to be offended, but just appreciated good character in human beings, regardless of race. We had come as close to MLK's dream in the mid 80's-90's as we would ever get (yet). Division has been instilled in our society once again, with much of it being political in nature. We have regressed decades in American race relations, and it is a darn shame. Glad we got to experience it. It's really not that complicated....
Yaup hip hop brought us all together in the early 90's
It’s taken me 30 years to understand the lyrics to this song. Wow. I enjoyed this at 12. At 42 - now I can interpret the lyrics. In awe. Ahead of its time. Beautiful. Really inspiring. I wish a song like this today could be a hit. Not holding my breath though, sadly.
Travis Scott?
how naive...
Just think that’s how it is. Our kids will listen to a song from their infancy and life will teach them the meaning of that song. At 12 I just enjoyed the flow and instruments. Now these song’s, Erica Bahdu and others make sense, life finally caught up to those lyrics.
Plenty of people including myself are enlightened. The problem is the powers at be know this a purposely put fools gold in position of power and fame.
Easy way... bring it back
Dionne Farris absolutely crushes it at the end. What an incredible voice .❤
Yes!
Late 80s/Early 90s was peak R&B and Hip Hop.
This was too much truth. In the 90's it all switched to what sells to whites: gangsta rap.
real hip hop. real message. real feeling. these guys were revolutionary. they produced these songs at a time when gangsta rap was super popular and decided to send a different type of message. songs don't have to be about violence, women, power or money. there can actually be a message that's more powerful. they made it very big for a while, and I'm really glad to see there are young people out there still getting that positive vibe.
We’ll said, everything you said is right on!
Keep in mind tribe, roots, pharcyde, etc were all popular during this time too
Very true
Amen
if they came out today they would have burned sooo brightly for the wrong reasons and would not have been recognized for the Geniuses they were. fortunately they didn't and they were recognized by those who "got the message"
“I ask you, Lord why you enlightened me
Without the enlightenment of all my folks
He said, cuz I set myself on a quest for truth
And he was there to quench my thirst.”
Shout out to all my brothers and sisters navigating survivor’s remorse as we succeed in life while dealing with the grief of our family and friends being on different paths…
I KNOw!!!
The most beautiful people come from the most pain 🖤 God bless and guide you!
30 years later and we are still thirsty . . . and damn sure should be.
❤ powerful comment. Sending love ❤️
Amen!! Lol thank you for this
So glad that I grew up in this era of hip hop and music.

This song is a prayer. I lost a son stillborn and this song carried me back towards God. It was a long road, but I knew someone else had walked it before me. I pray God blesses these folks socks off
flashbacks sucks love works :)
as a caring person who dwells in this painful reality with you, ask yourself these questions: (1) is your god all-knowing and all-powerful? (2) will everything in this mortal realm proceed according to your god's plan no matter what us mortals pray or cry for? (3) how, then, is your god not responsible for the bad (and the good) that has happened to you and your family? (4) has everything not proceeded according to your god's plan? these questions were my first foray in to critical thinking about truth versus fiction, my faith and the (unwarranted) justifications of such, the horrendous commissions and omissions of god, the origins of the various holy books, etc etc etc. in the end, all religions are cults and vice-versa.
God Bless the Lumbee Indians in Lumberton, NC!!!
❤️❤️❤️
as someone who lost a son 19yrs ago ... this means shit
in can give you better shit than this for that
‘Walk the road my forefathers walked, climb the trees my forefathers hung from’
That line shakes my soul, always goosebumps too 😱
And that quote should be taught in schools so other people who are white like me can know and understand white privilege is ABSOLUTELY REAL I never will have those thoughts about my white ancestors but my native ancestors I can't speak of their oppression without still recognizing I never have it ever will experience these biased. Quote like that really opens the eyes
@@rainbowbriteflashFlorida has entered the chat 😂
Yeah
Who’s still watching / listening to this classic? ✋🏽
"I ask you, Lord why you enlightened me
Without the enlightenment of all my folks
He said, cuz I set myself on a quest for truth
And he was there to quench my thirst
BUT I AM STILL THRISTY✊🏾,
The Lord allowed me to drink some more
He said what I am searching for..."

@@Speechofficial Hey Speech! Man, it really is you! I'm a huge fan! I'm from Tennessee and this song meant so much to me as a youngster. The whole album was so unique and in a league of it's own. Y'all are so talented. It's a pleasure and an honor, sir! Just subbed and rang the bell.
@@dustinf49 Hi Dustin! 👋🏼👋👋🏾what part of Tennessee are you at?
@@sallycandice6088 Tullahoma, TN. Approximately 60 miles south of Nashville.
Facts!
Okay..being 40 and listening to this, let me tell you...it hits much differently than it did when I was 11!
It's way different
I can't listen to it without crying
@@susiecarmichael5423I'm 43 & strongly agree
I've known this song since I was 15 (1992) Listening to it now 45 (2023) I am truly hearing the words. Knowledge brings a whole new meaning. WoW.
"...climb the trees my forefathers hung from..." As an adult when I finally got the meaning of that line and the rest of the song it just shook me to tears. Like realizing what Billie Holiday's "Strange Fruit" was about. This was the jam then and still is now. But with a lot more appreciation for its message and meaning. AD way way ahead of their time! Pass this along to a young person. Young people, please, -- LISTEN UP!
I have introduced this music to my son and niece. They loved it. Seems almost more relevant now.
Fun fact, Strange fruit was originally written in the early 1900s. A man by the name Abel Meeropol wrote it, and he published under the name Lewis Allan. Billie Holiday sang it and made it hers in 1939.
I love historical tidbits like you posted! Thanks for the history fun fact. Looking him up! @@yolandawilson9852
Food.
Her voice is so heavenly and divine... its like a Gift from God. Great era in music...
Dionne Ferris is the vocalist you are referring to.
@@marknc9616 Thank you! Didn't know her name.

“Why does it have to be so damn tough?”
I felt that one, brother.
And the brotha shedding a tear right at the beginning.....😞❤️😥
Milwaukee native here- “my brother is gone.” I knew him!!! The lyrics just hit me
Oh I really hits differently. I love it. How are you doing? Hope you are fine and staying safe.
Gone where? I'm not sure if you are saying no longer living because he's alive and well.
1992 was a blast for hip hop!! Listening to this and other rap artists at the time!! I was 16 in 1992, hip hop was awesome In the early 90s!!
92 was a platform year of what real hip hop was to be. The 90s were special
I'm from 76 too 😊 and u r absolutely right.
Me myself started listening to hip hop with 14 yrs old and the 90ies are better than gold.
Who still listening to this good Soulful song in 2020 besides myself
Meeee and I'm only 14
Me
Still been listening the whole time 😍 May all be well in this perilous time☮️
Yessah! This song is even more relevant in these recent weeks with our ppl being murdered.🙌🏿🙌🏾🙌🏽🙌🏼
Me from India. I used to listen in the 90's when I was 10 plus
How does a song that represent so much that was wrong feel so uplifting at the same time. This song is beautiful. Takes me back!
IKR!!!
@@rudolphmcneill515exactly I revisited this album recently as an adult it hits in a whole new way now.
I know I for sure let “climb the trees my forefathers hung from” go right by as a kid. Did not catch that on the first listen at all.
Take me home.. take me to another place!
I'd forgotten how good this song is.
Me as a child: that's a sick hook
Me as an adult: this is a generational song.
Nothing like conscious music that has a story line. Missing da 90's....
This song randomly just popped n my head lol. Still luv
@@eonhardy5383 same here! living in Tennessee, the song hits hard...
@@stalkinu2 Sending u love and blessings in these trying times, stay safe.😷🙏🏺
This song is so relevant in 2020 a classic from the 90’s the golden era of hip hop!
So, true. It's taken on new significance for me at this time.
Yep, Tennessee hasn't changed. Won't you help me, won't you help me...
How is it?
I worked in a record store when this came out. I just wanted to play it in-store over and over. I was a white kid who listened to alternative rock and knew no black people personally, and this album reached deep into my heart.
I first heard this song when i was 19 in '92 when i came out and it hit hard. Now at 50 this hits even harder. Listening to and understanding these lyrics has me damn near in tears.
I remembered loving this song as a child for the upbeat sounding chorus. Damn near brings me to tears as an adult
Same
Love my family from Vermont.
@@laurieberry4814 I like certain politicians from Vermont..and I would trust one physician from there.
Ok
Exact same
That's Prince saying Tennessee!!! Its a sample from his song Alphabet Street. He found out, contacted Speech & told him his people had waited until the song peaked & charged $100K for it based on how much they made off the song. Speech met him & his wife (Mayte) at Paisley Park & said he was the coolest because he learned a lot. He apologized & appreciated that Prince could've had the album pulled because of it until it was settled in court & charged more. Prince was socially conscious, liked their message & appreciated Speech's honesty. I didn't know Speech wrote this as in the song after going to his grandmothers funeral in Tennessee & the same week his brother had an asthma attack & died. Prince is also his favorite artist.
Socially conscious and charged him 100k? Did I read that right?
@@JK2OJacko He could've sued for more for them not clearing the sample
@@JK2OJacko Prince could of sued them til they were blue in the face instead he just took a little check ( 100k in the music business is peanuts ) and let them be because he liked the song
Wow law have report Nanc
For sampling a voice saying a single word, in a song that TEACHES people our forgotten history? That is not what a forward-thinking, socially-minded person does. Especially when he is already beyond rich! Prince, brother, what were you thinking...?
This was my jam back in 92. God I wish they still made music like this. Today’s youth will never understand what good music really is.
Agree
Your letting nostalgia rule your happiness
Dude there's alot of music you will never understand either
I've known Speech since I was a kid & he is AMAZING. He has such a beautiful family & a warm soul.
Speech is one the most underappreciated Mcs of all time. He brought that southern hip hop to the masses back when no one knew the south would later become so popular in music.
Still TIMELESS! … And Dionne Ferris brought it home on those ending vocals. 😎❤️

@@christophercolumbus1705 I guess you parents hate you? Did they listen to this music?😂
Just turned 40 yrs old this year and this song means so much to me when I was younger I liked the song but it didn't really make sense but now that I'm old it hits differently.
These college educated rappers back in the 90s, YES. ❤.. black and proud, brown and proud, not asking to be heard, demanding to be respected.
Who is still listening in 2021? Sis at the end always give me chills with the vocals. Underrated group!
Still one of the best groups ever
Love this song
#2021
Released: 1992 28yrs later... The music don’t get old in always new in the soul...❤️
They conjured up some ancestral spirits in this song. Beautiful song, meaningful lyrics. 🎶 🎤 🥁 🌍
Facts 😂
I was just sitting here thinking the same thing.. they put some hoodoo in the production for real.
No matter which walk of life you come from, what color your skin is. This song grabs reaches your soul.
Lord, I've really been real stressed, down and out, losing ground
Although I am black and proud, problems got me pessimistic
Brothers and sisters keep messin' up, why does it have to be so damn tuff?
I don't know where I can go to let these ghosts out of my skull
My grandma past my brother's gone, I never at once felt so alone
I know you're supposed to be my steering wheel, not just my spare tire
(Home!) But Lord, I ask you
(Home!) to be my guiding force and truth
(Home!) For some strange reason it had to be
(Home!) he guided me to Tennessee
Take me to another place, take me to another land
Make me forget all that hurts me, let me understand your plan
Take me to another place, take me to another land
Make me forget all that hurts me, let me understand your plan
Lord it's obvious we got a relationship
Talkin' to each other every night and day
Although you're superior over me
We talk to each other in a friendship way
Then outta nowhere you tell me to break
Outta the country and into more country
Past Dyesburg and Ripley
Where the ghost of childhood haunts me
Walk the roads my forefathers walked
Climb the trees my forefathers hung from
Ask those trees for all their wisdom
They tell me my ears are so young (Home)
Go back, from whence you came (Home)
My family tree, my family name (Home)
For some strange reason it had to be (Home)
He guided me to Tennessee (Home)
Take me to another place, take me to another land
Make me forget all that hurts me, let me understand your plan
Take me to another place, take me to another land
Make me forget all that hurts me, let me understand your plan
Now I see the importance of history
Why my people be in the mess that they be
Many journeys to freedom made in vain
By brothers on the corner playin' ghetto games
I ask you, Lord why you enlightened me
Without the enlightenment of all my folks
He said, cuz I set myself on a quest for truth
And he was there to quench my thirst
But I am still thirsty
The Lord allowed me to drink some more
He said what I am searching for are
The answers to all which are in front of me
The ultimate truth started to get blurry
For some strange reason it had to be
It was all a dream about Tennessee
Take me to another place, take me to another land
Make me forget all that hurts me, let me understand your plan
Take me to another place, take me to another land
Make me forget all that hurts me, let me understand your plan
Oh, won't you let me, won't you help me
won't you help me understand your plan
Take me home, take me home, home, take me to another place
Take me home, take me home, home, take me to another place

I feel in love with your group due to my older brother who was in high school at the time would just hangout at our house with his friends and play Arrested Development ALL day. I love it and it brings back found memories and is apart of the soundtrack to my life and I did the same playing your music around my younger sister and brothers who were not much older than my kids and we All jam out to Arrested Development. Music that feeds the mind and the soul. I am a new subscriber by the way. Shalom!!
thanks
It always makes laugh more that I remember these songs, and the tv series that followed with them, I think of Mr. Wendell in Tennessee.
I saw Arrested Development in 1993 at the Horden Pavilion in Sydney Australia and they were off the hook. Their sound live exceeded expectations and brought the house down. In addition they incorporated Aboriginal dancers into the show and encouraged audience participation. In the second encore they did Tennessee and led into Washed Away. I've been to a lot of amazing live concerts but this one was the most fun.
Shout out to Raising Kanan for playing my state anthem on their episode
👍💯
That’s what brought me back to this song too!
So good to hear this song again, it sounds even better now than it did back then. I like how in this video everyone in the background is just doing there own thing also, makes a nice change from all the choreographed stuff.
If Tennessee is in your soul this song hits ya no matter what!!! . “Take me home” ❤️❤️
Hello Kerry, how are you doing and how is the weather with you
For sure! Dem mountains and that music!
The crux of this prayer: "I ask you Lord, why you enlighten me, without the enlightenment of all my folks. He said 'cause I set my self on a quest for truth, and he was there to quench my thirst, but I am still thirsty."
The song is way deeper than most realize.
WOW!! What a coincidence. I came here to hear those exact lyrics and i see that you posted what i was looking for. Profound words Rapped by Speech. Before Tennessee came out i often asked my self this question (God..why did you enlighten me..") This Rap song gave me my answer.
Jon G Yes! Someone that gets it! In this moment, I love humans.
I came here for those exact lyrics🙏🙏🙏
Yes this is one of my favorite songs
They're definitely the most profound lines in the song.
My childhood was amazing man. When radio was the go to for all music and this song I loved when I first hear it, now I'm 42 and just reminisce on all the fun I had as a kid!!!
This just takes me back to that 1990-ish era of African American intellectualism, that show A Different World and being a teenager.

Rap music was at a peak golden age right around the time this song got released
It's 5am in Africa I just woke up with this song on my mind and had to give it a listen what a masterpiece
Damnn it's 7 am I'm in Morocco doing the same thing
It's 17 April, 2020 and the World is upside down with Covid-19, sending u love n blessings, stay safe.😷🙏
@lance Kelley Aww, thank u, these little kindness towards each other certainly helps!🌞
Which African nation?
Arizona, United States . Is where I am now but would rather be in SA Uppington South Africa ... or my mother land of Greece Megalopolis!
America is over rated filled with poison and Kaos
I love this song. It is so very deep. "I know your suppose to be my steering wheel, not just my spare tire. But lord I ask you, to be my guiding force and truth!" "Take me to another place, take me to another land, make me forget all that hurts me, let me understand your plan." This is a very deep proclamation for this African American man. He is speaking about the present and the past, his current life, and the lives of the slaves that are his ancestors. One of the most profound songs ever written. I am so very happy that I grew up with them as role models. :)
Excellent analysis
Amen !!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Raising Kanan thank you 🙏🏾 this gem 💎 is needed right now‼️
I also first heard this on the latest episode of Raising Kanan too. I’m 34 and a true hip hop head since the mid 90s watching MTV The Box . But I never heard this amazing classic record
I was about 12 when this was new and on TV all the time, and I loved it then and I love it now.
I grew up in a very working class city, surrounded by all types of kids, but I was mostly into Metallica and stuff like that. I was always around other kids from different backgrounds and different struggles, we were all the same, so racism really pisses me off. I got no tolerance for it. We grew up together, teaching each other stuff and sharing music at school.
Listening to this today after many years and watching this video again, man, shook me up. Timeless.
Is it weird that God led me to Tennessee as well, and many of the things I've been consulting with Abba are in this song? I asked him today to give me understanding of his plan, and last week people kept talking about horseshoes and it stuck with me. This is a prophetic song. I've also been looking into the history of Israel and the black jews. This is exactly what God is showing these people were Jews. I also asked him why he's showing me these things, and he said because I'm seeking truth. He said the understanding of the kingdom of heaven is only given to some people. Those who seek his truth, and follow it. The Father is Home. If you want to know why you are not home take a look at Deuteronomy 28.
2020 Take me to another place. Take me to another land. Make me forget all that hurts me. Let me understand your plan.
Byron Word JESUS is going to take HIS children to another place real sooooonnnnnn. Just continue to trust HIM and WATCH, LISTEN and WORK faithfully. We’re going home soon. BE FAITHFUL. Even so, come, LORD JESUS. I LOVE YOU, LORD
Dog: woof woof
Cat: meow meow
Retard: 2020, 2020?
also retard: quarantine, quarantine?
@@JESUSISLORDforever888 amen sis. Maranatha. Even so, come King Jesus!
@@godislovepraisehim8483 Yes, Come “quickly”, LORD JESUS.
how do you feel about saying that now that 2020 was a piece of crap?
Listening to this song in the 90s- as a indigenous kid from a colonised county, the way it resonated with me, I couldn't explain or understand at the time, but could feel the essence, truly transcendental.
Thank you All The Saints in Heaven.Glory to Our Kingdom Heaven ❤
This jam is so deep. Who knew this is what it meant back in the day. I surely did not understand these lyrics. Powerful! Wow!
Peep out my new single:
Just Too Cold

This is the history of African Americans from slavery till date. We still thirsty. God's plan is very different from our plans.
It’s biblical
Yessss! Just heard this driving the other day, I cranked it up bc this is a classic but the lyrics hit me differently as a much older person now. I loved, love, will always love this song
This is real music
This is true artists
This is real hip hop
This is a good song from a good album
I wish I could Turn Back in time
When real good music was true

Don’t make me cry. Hiphop was once the most beautiful music
Yes lord.
Henrique Ramos absolutely
Is the opposite of love; hate?
How can I both love and hate hip hop?
What have they done to the art I once loved.
To live and die for hip hop.
I saw them live at Lollapalooza in 93-94. And this tune- specifically the "won't you help me- take me home" vocal solo- -literally brought tears to my eyes. One of the most impactful musical experiences of my life. So much better live.
won't u help me, won't u help me, won't u help me understand ur plan. take me home take me to another place.
that part still hits my soul When she sings it!
Yea I still know all the dance to this song.
Make me shiver.
My fav part
Pray to God
And man... how she sings it ❤
Game of horse shoe...A GAME OF HORSE SHOE!! my favorite part..plz bring music like this back😧
First place I came to after two black men got kicked out of Congress today. 1992, I was in high school, and this was the jam...30 years later and Tennessee is moving backwards. I feel for you TN. Love and hope from the West Coast.
Same here, though I am central-european. Just read the shameful news about what happened and realized it is not only my country that goes backwards… I am sure just a few years ago neither of us expected to witness all that sh*t and dark times again that our grandparents had to endure.
@@shiraz9986 It's a damn shame. It's times like this that hurt the most when people say "Americans are racist." To know that these same people are "American" is a shame. Being Central European you're literally caught in the middle, and yes, never could have imagined this (Before Trump). Good news is NATO is strong, and is only getting stronger, meaning Putin has already miscalculated. I only hope we see the same strengthening of values over here as well, which according to recent elections, that's happening as well. One step back, two steps forward. Thanks for the note and solidarity.
I recently revisited this album and have been listening to it pretty regularly. Man, what a great record! It holds up really well. I wasn't paying particular attention to the lyrics as much as I do now. Man, it's some heavy stuff. Real poetry. I remember winning a radio contest in 1992 and this was one of three cassettes they sent me as my prize! TLC's and Jon Secada's first albums were the other two. Speech is the man. RIP Baba Oje. He was cool.

This song can still bring tears to my eyes. Truth!
They were about 23 years ahead of their time.
"I climb the trees my forefathers hung from."
-That hits you right in the soul.
Walk the paths my forefathers walked on, climb the trees my forefathers hung from
That's some powerful music
This is where we were heading. My God, have we gone backward. It hurts so deeply.
And I am a white Southern woman.
I thought we were better than we seem to be in 2023.
I'm a native American from Tennessee and this song has always stirred something in me. Still does in 2024!❤
I wore this cassette tape out during the summer of 92’ . I will never stop listening to this song. Great message laced over the top of a great track!
The perfect example of R&B, Rap and amazing Lyricists. This is as good as it gets
Tamila if you like the gangster crap of today then i guess. but as far as lyrics and ORIGINALITY ya this is it.
Tamila how then.
+Tamila No. No it doesn't.
Listening on April 10, 2023 watching Justin Jones be reinstated at the Tennessee State Capitol. ❤
Props to Arrested Development for standing the test of time in hip hop. This is a classic forever.
Much Love ❤

Pure nostalgia, makes me want to gather all of my friends in a field with a loud ass speaker and just go back in the days and vibe to all the 90’s hits. When music had its innocence.
I'm a metalhead but I love my 90's hip hop. it was soooo good. don't even like todays hip hop.
Don't even care mate
Probably worth noting plenty of 90s rock was certainly influenced by 90s hip-hop : )
nameless76 mozwhaz metal is fucking trash
I was always Rock, Blues, Alternative, and Indie. I loved 90s Hiphop and R&B. I agree with today’s hip hop being awful. That’s all my husband listens to. I think it will change for the better one day.

REAL HIP-HOP! I bought this cassette soon after the album release. I played it so much, I had to upgrade to the CD. 💿 Definitely in my top fave 20 albums of all time.
I already knew this masterpiece but Raising Kanan brought me back here.
this song moves me so deeply. Its definitely in my top ten for songs that invoke peak spiritual experience.
What are the other 9?
