Haha! Love this comment! Right back at you. Since it came out, it is in my rotation of morning one person dance party to get my dad started!! You’re dope too!
This song has motivated me to change my life and get the job of my dreams,be a father a great boyfriend and be someone from the heart. this song makes me smile every time
Dec 2024 !! who still coming back for a second helping of this true Legend? Happy New Year, 2025. If you're reading this, well, you're my brother or sis on this crazy journey in human form on this planet earth. May you have more laughter than tears 💌
Found this song before I had my daughter and was still a homeless porn and drug addict. Now I'm working a 9-5 boutta have my first vehicle, soon after that is moving out then it's a whole new life with MY family that I made and that's a trip. "Any day can be the greatest day, just visualize peace when you play this." Your lyrics mean something ❤️
Congratulations brother. Currently struggling with a porn addiction my self that I’ve had for years and I’m barley 23. I know how it is to be in that hell hole. The feeling of loneliness. but it’s good to hear someone with the same struggle free themselves from this and any other addiction. May god bless you
+RYAN F i typed breath in google just to see, they had that wack ass ces cru before this the world is foolish I give up open your opportunities see all be all one life one love
+RYAN F couldn't have said it better. i was in early high school when i listened to this for the first time. it was all good vibes but now I'm married and have a child..now reflect on this tune and its life.
The Grouch, Zion I, Eligh, Murs, Living Legends, Gift of Gab, Blackalicious, People Under The Stairs all make music you can feel in your soul. You can feel the authenticity of their lyrics and the love for expressing themselves through music EDIT: RIP Zumbi of Zion I and Gift of Gab
Murs and The Grouch comes to hawaii to do some shows.. real small.. Zion I was gonna come bit covid started and subdued that.. such ashame I wanted to see Zion murs killed it
Really someone called him a one hit wonder... Do you even understand real hip hop? The Grouch isnt worried about hits. He spits straight from the heart and keeps it real from beats to lyrics. He is what he represents. Check out hero's in the city dope.
doesn't matter how shitty your day's been, this jam wipes the slate clean and puts a smile on your face. definitely has turned a bad day around for me more than once. thank you mr. grouch, means a lot to me and i'm sure everyone else here too
Wow the line about having a daughter and how you cant be a porn addict no longer is so real, thats a some real man shit right there. You just gained a subscriber and a fan
Man, this song has gotten me through alot and I've tried to mold my life around the message it brings. Thanks Grouch for making a track that can convey so much in only 3 minutes.
this is one of the most powerful songs in Hip-hop history. When he speaks about "how long are you going to sip Hennessey and ride on your enemies" He means how long are you going to have that "Thug Life" mentality. I've never met Cory, but the guys at the bay have nothing but the best to say about him everytime I visited. I alway keep to myself, but when someone ask what I'm bobbing my head too. I give them one ear bud and almost everytime the dude is like "That's the Grouch!" one guy said him and Cory went way back and Tupac was a huge inspiration to him. Everyone on the west love 2Pac. Just like everyone owns a CD of Cronic2000 and plays it once a month. God I miss the west.
He actually says "How long you gonna fuck the world and ride on enemies" Lol, way too many people thinking he was dissing / talking about 2Pac.... he's talking about a state of mind or line of thinking
Support this man in any way you can. Let the commercials play, buy some of his gear, go to a show, whatever. The more we give to him, the more he can give back to us.
Hands down one of the illest and outside of the west coast, still one of the most underrated MCs to come out of hiphop's golden era. Its rare to witness a true philosopher on the mic these days and Grouch stays consistent .
I'm gonna start bumping this again and get aligned with who I'm supposed to be! I remember jamming to this track in 2013, showing it to younger kids than me at the time. Than life took me again and I forgot. 20 years prior, in 2003, I was bumping the grouches other album religiously - though I don't remember the name of it. I've been on this guy for a minute.
Im from the south bay. Idk if you are actively on this. Just wanna tell you , I tear every time I hear this .brings me so much joy. Thanks and God bless you 🙏
13 years later and this is still some of the best music Ive ever heard Thank you Grouch, you inspired me and my friends on Maui throughout our childhood - so stoked that you found your place out here. You are one of Maui's Sons, you influenced an entire generation of island kids from the early 2000s to this day. Trust my daughters will bump the Legends once they get older. Peace and love
2024 Bumping harder than ever. Became a husband In 2022 and a father in 2023. 31 going on 32 and i remember bumping this in high school, now it hits harder than ever. Real Hip Hop is Eternal.
I don't usually listen to rap, mostly because of all that mainstream stuff, but I overheard my brother listening to this and I had to ask him what song it was and now I really like it
My best friend died on my couch in 2011. After that i was doing my best to heal. This song helped tremendously. I was 18 when he passed and im 31 now. Every time i hear this song its a flashback to that healing time. It was such a rough time in my life and i wasn't sure if id make it through but here i am. If only i could shake the grouches hand. Gets me in my feelings. Sorry for writing all that.
Thank you for making this song Grouch! It really helps me level my head and focus. You're a true inspiration, I hope I can one day write with the same humbleness and thought you portray in this work of art.
Never gets old, never will! 🔥 The entire song is perfect, but these are my favorite Lines… - Well you can make any day the greatest day, just visualize peace when you play this. -I’m deep enough to know myself now that’s major, & I’m proud of me. - Simple is the new cool young fool, Sober is the new drunk!
This song is amazing, crazy to think how a song can change your mood and inspire so much. Whenever I feel down about my self or my situation, i put this song on, its helped me through some tough times. Thank you for the lyrics and the message Grouch! You've kept me alive!
got the honor 2 c the grouch open up for atmosphere, my man almost cried when he performed this song. "pure truth, and when combined with the beat, you feel the music. literally healing movement" it hit the spot, THANK YOU grouch for the amazing show, for speaking truth thru ur music. #stayhumble
i love that he is influencing jesus and creation its soo needed and people love grouch from my yrs and till today... when i saw that bible i thought just a book but he spoke love. and he closed it rt away i knew that was a bible. i had a homegirl who used to do things for them back in 99 and i always told her to go to church w me. she took me many times to c a show and chill at their after parties. but. like he said prego is the new skinny and i i liked her mlre then jist the girl who took me from pamona to kick it with the legends. god is good all the time grouch. i always wanted a daughter. 10 fingers 10 toes. when that came out back in what 05 i think with zion i. always made me want a baby. all my music is back in cali man ima dload that and all ur newest tracks. soldiers for Christ
I havent herd grouch since he made city of dope w zion i. I know hes spiritual but in that throwback he spoke scripture. To me. Anyway. I dont think my comment was that wrong for commenting on the bibke he was holding.
He's wearing a sweater that says "Research". There's no way that book is supposed to represent a bible. Any honest research leads one to reject the practice of religion.
Im so happy for this dude it actually hurts. I grew up listening to him and the living legends. I even saw them live yeeeears ago. This song though! God damn! I can feel this one! He made it! And im proud. Props my dude.
It used to be underground, now its known. It used to be young, and now it's classic. It's still good music, and it still is magic. I still am feeling true to my self. My friends, my family, my everyone else
i play this song everyday if i can just to remind myself to breath thank you these words mean so much to my soul it helps when i am down and brings me back up ...
I love this track. Discovered it a couple of years ago. Grouch.. This is your sound. Fk everything else. Do this from front to back on any ep and you will skyrocket.
Where my 2024 OGs at?
Living legends crew always
Right here🪽

Don't forget Atmosphere, Eyedea, R.A. Rugged Man, and J.M.T's
Cunninlynguists should also be in there.
Murs and The Grouch comes to hawaii to do some shows.. real small.. Zion I was gonna come bit covid started and subdued that.. such ashame I wanted to see Zion murs killed it
and dont forget RiP Double K...
My brother died and requested this song to play. I listen to it every day since 2011
“Used to be young and now it’s classic, it’s still good music and still as magic”. That line aged very very well
Classic is something that despite age, never goes out of date.

The first Grouch song I ever heard and still banging 14 years later
Really someone called him a one hit wonder... Do you even understand real hip hop? The Grouch isnt worried about hits. He spits straight from the heart and keeps it real from beats to lyrics. He is what he represents. Check out hero's in the city dope.
They obviously don't understand shit... probably even about the real world much less real hip hop...
"When they see who my back up is they'll shit in their pants" " who me? he ain't gon know me" "you? You're a fucking Legend."
doesn't matter how shitty your day's been, this jam wipes the slate clean and puts a smile on your face. definitely has turned a bad day around for me more than once. thank you mr. grouch, means a lot to me and i'm sure everyone else here too
Your music has helped lift me up during times I was falling. Thank you.
Trueeee tho, same

2023 healing music ❤
I still am feeling true to my self, my family, my friends, my everyone else. This song is musical and lyrical meditation. Thank you Grouch
America needs this kind of energy badly.
This song stays fresh
“Temptation lures but my aim is pure”. That’s going on my forearm
Wow the line about having a daughter and how you cant be a porn addict no longer is so real, thats a some real man shit right there. You just gained a subscriber and a fan
Man, this song has gotten me through alot and I've tried to mold my life around the message it brings. Thanks Grouch for making a track that can convey so much in only 3 minutes.
It is amazing what someone can express and convey in a few minutes in a song
this is one of the most powerful songs in Hip-hop history.
When he speaks about "how long are you going to sip Hennessey and ride on your enemies"
He means how long are you going to have that "Thug Life" mentality.

one guy said him and Cory went way back and Tupac was a huge inspiration to him.
Everyone on the west love 2Pac. Just like everyone owns a CD of Cronic2000 and plays it once a month.
God I miss the west.
TheRedneck Guru he said "How long are you gonna fuck the world and ride on your enemies!"

Not a fan of Tupac
elconejito99 cool man
"keeping up with the neighbors wont save you"
Mad knowledge dropped on this track.
Support this man in any way you can. Let the commercials play, buy some of his gear, go to a show, whatever. The more we give to him, the more he can give back to us.
Really appreciate where your lyrics take us. To that grounding place of inner peace. Beautiful track. Peace.
This sh!t never gets old on repeat!..2023
One of the best songs in the world!
**Noone**
Still one of the best Grouch songs to date.
Hands down one of the illest and outside of the west coast, still one of the most underrated MCs to come out of hiphop's golden era. Its rare to witness a true philosopher on the mic these days and Grouch stays consistent
.
This song has saved me several times
You can make any day the greatest day, just visualize peace when you play this
