"When everything you wanted, you get it. Then all you want is peace. And that comes with a whole different struggle. Homie, ain't nothin free." Nothing is free. Every day is a choice to either stay in the same place, or go out and change your fate. That one hit me hard
but also he's trying to tell us that everything comes with a price. Not just meaning that doing things differently takes effort but also achieving greater things has its cost. For ex. being famous, being wealthy, being succesful.
Been almost two years I've been listening and watching kota, never disappoints me in the realness. I love the cold truth, yet somewhat warm and comforting knowing others go through it as well. Thank you for continuing to bless my ears and calm my nerves, I hope you've been doing good kota
KOTA you blew my mind when you said "im on a balcony reading a novel. I take the best advice from both the Quran and the Bible" . every black man youth needs to hear this song!!!
Judging from your comment I can tell you don't care nothing about the horrible, savage mental and spiritual condition our black youth are in all over North America, no race of people hate one another like the black slave Descendants in North America. They need to hear this because this is music that can heal their condition even if its .5% improvement in their way of thinking....No where did I say in my statement where I'm implying only for black people, you decided with your semi adult mentality to take it out of context and make it into a statement where your hinting it to mean other then what It was meant to mean. So do you still have a problem with my statement now that i had to explain it to you in simple terms? Your one of those people that don't care about whats happened or being going on with black people in America eh? I see you sir 👀
@@maliknelson829 geez you thought you cooked here huh lol you said specifically “every black man”. You yourself not only segregated the idea already but perpetuated reading a spiritual book for a group/race, particularly yours. You could have said the human race could benefit or even just adult males, but no. You made it about your race. I agree there is an underlying hatred in that community for one another, but again your alls history includes selling one another, whomst were already enslaved by your people, to white people overseas for money. So yes I know about the history and predecessors we both have. Your people hurt your people, so there’s gonna be angst towards another. Literally betrayed themselves in the motherland lol
I should of just said. why are white people STILL not capable of producing music that is SPIRITUALLY CONSCIOUS to the mind and soul, while being centered around freedom, justice, & equality?@@JoopyWeezer
Kota your the definition of a real life dictionary when people seek the truth on life is you spit into lyrics but if you listen you shit is really scary and your words are hella daring but Kota shook the whole room even got the nigga staring
He's carved out a good niche dropping lil gold bits as he wants whenever he wants, more like a casual poet than a musical artist. Respect and admiration. Bless.
How is this song not credited in that new Eddie Murphy and Jonah Hill movie on Netflix? I looked and he def slept on. Not even in the song credits but that beat comes on and I instantly know at 20:38 in the movie, dat my dude Kota The Friend. Nola gets me everytime. Keep putting that art out there! thanks Kota
Found out about you a couple of weeks ago and I'm obessed with every single song. So grateful someone on Earth that writes spirtual-gangsta with such a style.THANK YOU!! Regards from Spain!!
@@nefelibata94 nah it isnt, I looked around a bit more. Its on the italian and french amazon for less than 20 euros, they dont deliver to my country sadly but they probably do deliver to yours.

That also kind of makes me think about that quote, remember when you prayed for what you now have
Brroooo just finished watching the *YOU PEOPLE* movie on netflix. Song was so smooth in the background
*Criminally* underrated
GC BEATS ARE UNMATCHED, HE DESERVES A LOT OF RECOGNITION ON HERE..
Dude loves him some Nujabes-style beats. Dope.
That beats is called lofi, 🔥
@@kabiirdripflixmusic5482 yeah, I know, it's just his sound uncannily like some Nujabes
All of these beats were made by his fans on TH-cam “Kota the friend type beats”. I believe he tweeted this before he dropped this album
@@consciouscaleb5990 what album is this song from?
@@consciouscaleb5990 oh nvm mb it's ltg
YOU PEOPLE soundtrack is soooo good.
Just a lullaby to give you good vibes
I heard of kota the friend by ZHU and the rest has been history 😫
KOTA u so nice, had kinda forgotten.

This is therapeutic music
dernière traduction de l'album, bien sympa :
00:12
Je lis un roman sur mon balcon
00:15
Je prends les meilleurs conseils du Coran et de la Bible
00:18
Ma femme est belle, bien plus que ta mannequin favorite
00:21
Je crois pas aux idoles, je pense que les réponses sont en nous
00:24
Avant je pensais que faire de l'argent était le plus important
00:27
Des gargouillements dans le ventre, voilà ce que ça fait d'avoir faim
00:30
Et qu'il n'y a pas de clim' en été ou de chauffage en hiver
00:33
Hésitant à aller prendre une douche, la flemme de se lever
00:36
On prend certaines choses pour acquises
00:39
Comme ne jamais se demander si elle reste avec nous que pour notre richesse
00:42
Ou ces amis qui pensent mériter ce que tu as
00:45
Ils te rabaissent, l'argent change les gens
00:48
Cet argent m'a emmené beaucoup de stress
00:51
Plongeant dans les dépressions, ou les femmes, ou l'alcool, c'est cool non ?
00:54
AirBnB dans les hauteurs à Malibu
00:57
Des grenades poussent dans le jardin, j'ai de la gratitude
01:00
Cette fille essaie de m'avoir mais je reste cool
01:03
Je brise toutes les règles et la laisse rester l'après-midi
01:06
Je me sens seul et je sais qu'elle fait semblant
01:09
Je repense à toutes ces femmes qui m'ont choisi
01:12
Et toutes les fois où j'étais le vilain et elle me remontait le moral
01:15
Et que ça allait bien se passer, merde est-ce que je suis en retard ?
01:18
Je regarde le calendrier en me disant "combien de fois je peux m'échapper ? "
01:21
Je prends une grande inspiration, acceptant ce qui semble être mon destin
01:24
Et puis je retourne vers ces Converses et dungarees
01:27
Quand on a ni le soleil ou l'eau pour prendre soin de cet arbre de la prospérité
01:31
Quand tout ce que tu voulais tu l'as eu, alors tout ce que tu veux c'est la paix d'esprit
01:34
Et c'est pas si facile, rien n'est gratuit

Merci, c'est super sympa de mettre les lyrics en français
Kota you are the best

Dope

luv me dis piece’a music
this guy is fiiiire n he released all these bangers on my birthday
This the best one , ♡
The Holistic Revolution brought me here!
genius, come ova here
Hands down favorite track by you bro, thank you for it!
totally amazing
i can not hate his song
I'm on a balcony readin' a novel
I take the best advice from both the Quran and the Bible
My wife bad, more beautiful than your favorite model
Don't believe in idols, I think you find the answers inside you
I used to think the biggest thing in life was getting money
Rumble in my tummy, I guess that's how it seem when you hungry
And when it's no AC in summer or heat in the winter
Thinkin' 'bout that walk to the shower, I wasn't tryna get up
You take for granted certain shit
Like never worryin' if she fuck with you 'cause you rich
Or friends feelin like they deservin' of what you get
And tryna bring you down, that dollar make people flip, like
Quarters, I be caught up and stressin' over this chip, like
Drown in’ in depression, the women, liquor, it's lit, right?
BnB's way up in the hills out in Malibu
Pomegranates growin' in the bushes, feeling gratitude
Shawty tryna fuck with me but I just keep it casual
Breakin' all the rules, let her stay until the afternoon
It get lonely, I be knowin' she phony
Thinkin' back to all of the women that really chose me
And all the times that I was the villain and she consoled me
And told me I was gonna be great, boy, am I late
I peep the calendar, like, "How often can I escape?"
I take a breath, acceptin' what's seemin' to be my fate
And then I travel back to the Converses and dungarees
When we ain't have the water or sunlight to care for money trees
When everything you wanted, you get it, then all you want is peace
And that comes with a whole different struggle, homie, ain't nothin' free
Another nivel of life....
Great artist he never miss, can't wait to hear him on one of my beats one day soon
