type of song that really hits your heart and awakens your fatherly instincts even if you still are a young punk...brings tears to my eyes every single time....
he is been underrated since '95. fortunately he was able to live with his rap songs for years. Only 200k views on most videos making me sick, this guy deserve a lot more.
I just got lyrics from this song tattooed on my chest yesterday, along a partial portrait of my 2 daughters walking into the water on a beach. This is my all time fave song, know it word for word, my daughters mean everything to me.
Prolly the best hip-hop artist out there, but only 25k views? Every mother on earth gave birth to a child, except classifieds mother, she gave birth to a fucking legend! This dude deserves more
there are only so many artists that actually inspire me. Class is one of them. Without him and atmosphere and brother ali and big K.R.I.T and a handful of other's I would of lost hope in listening to hip hop. It is awesome to find artist's that truly do the music because they love it.
I like that you link Atmosphere and Classified. Those rappers are REAL and not product of some marketing shit. They deserve more attention than what they got their entire career.
Made me cry at the end, I have a wonderful relationship with my father and the end broke my heart, I never want my dad to leave he is my best friend...
I don't have kids, but this song sends chills throughout my whole body...Luke Boyd you are a great father! Respect to all the mothers and fathers out there!
This song damn near made me stop breathing, honestly breathtaking. I thought this type of music became a dead end, but then I found you. Good songs man.
dam how things have changed.... when I first heard YOUNG BLOOD , I never ever thought I would ever have a family or would ever want kids. Well as you can see where this is going , I now have an amazing 3 year old son that is growing up fast like everyone says. Your music has molded and inspired me in so many ways. I now listen to this song after neglecting to listen to this album for about a year. SO FUCKING DAM GOOD! i am a mountain climber and snowboarding and love hiking and can't wait to take my son out hiking and exploring , ... Your line , Every night we lay to rest so every morning is a rebirth , i've walked so many paths that my ankles and my feet hurt. I was always hands on , always wanted to be first , glad ive grown strong and did my research" - this hits me every time , I have lost many friends and colleges in the mountains and as the years go on and on i see everyone else back in the city sitting around doing nothing and lately I have been searching for other people who have been working hard , pushing themselves , trying to be good , and after seeing Powerless I noticed Classified is one of the greatest! keep doing good and keep making stuff with meaning! thank you so much Classified!
Absolutely in love with this video...been listening to class for years and honestly he has helped me through all my rough times and made me want to just better myself. One day ill meet him, idc how old i am or if he even does tours anymore...i promise i will get to shake his hand one day :)
Each album just keeps getting better, you've come along way now... and the East Coast is very lucky to lay claim to you and so many other amazing artists. Keep up the Fantastic music at HalfLife Records Luke. Looking forward to hearing so much more from You, Mike, David, and all the other amazing artists.
Thank you man, you really deserve to be way more popular. Like there are plenty of popular artists who only care about the mainstream things like cars, money, girls and drugs, but you have actual morals and messages in your songs. You're doing great Classified, keep it up.
We just had our first child yesterday! We had a Baby girl! Cheers to all the parents out there still listening today! Thank you Classified for making music like this!
I been listening to this since my sister was born, my father left us but man this song makes me have the balls to raise my lil sister like damn, I feel like I can be a really good father, shit I’m crying no cap
Brings tears to my eyes. The songs beat was nice and calming. Not upbeat at all. A change from the usual songs I listen from him. Love the beat, the song, the message it puts out. Really glad I bought this album. Stay Classy
Lyrics Getting all these thoughts in my head Cause I know that things will change Yeah I know that things will change Getting all these thoughts in my head Cause Tomorrow won't be the same But tomorrow won't be the same [Verse 1:] I pull up to the traffic light, red light, coasting Glancing the rear view as your eyelids slowly closing Adjust the radio turn it lower and let your song play Slowly go to sleep get some rest it's been a long day I don't need too much I just want to make my kids proud Wishing that her life can stay as peaceful as it is now Nothing stays the same though, day in to day out The forecast changes so you got to keep your raincoat close I hope that you and your sister can work through the bruises and blisters The sibling rivalry when you argue and bicker Lot of pain lot of joy You'll go through what I went through with her Ain't nothing to it if you keep your family rooted, ughh Don't grow up too quick Enjoy the freedom when you're young before you lose it You already trying to tell me that you a big girl I'm scared as hell to let my little baby grow up in this big world I will be asking where you're going who's your friends what you up to Over protective but that don't mean I don't trust you I just don't trust everybody you go party with I've been in your position baby girl I know how hard it is [Hook] [Verse 2:] And I know that you won't agree with my rules Probably around the time you attending high school I'll tell ya don't smoke, don't drink, or buy booze You'll say that I'm a hypocrite cause I do it and get high too But do you really wanna look and feel like I do? At your age you don't want to walk in my shoes Get up your marks get up your smarts get up your IQ The real party it don't start until after high school So don't stress who's popular and best dressed Forget the peer pressure ain't no one to impress Besides everyone in high school who seem cool That's it; they usually never see their dreams through There's so many right and wrongs when you raise a kid I just want that father and daughter relationship I know in time, that we'll argue and you'll hate me But I pray to God you'll thank me, Like dad I'm glad you raised me [Hook]
Deserves more than just 82k views... It's funny how all these other shitty rap songs could have more attention than a song with an actually message that's meaningful and inspirational... Smh
its really cool class is still producing and evolving as an artist. I have had the pleasure of relating and maturing alongside him and his music since i was a kid.

Hey class, I don't understand how this country wont build homes because it's "difficult". But genocide was just another day in their life .... wow. We're hurting man. The canadian indemnity has been lost.
First heard this song a week after finding out my wife was pregnant with a girl 4 years ago. It became my theme song. Class keeps it real. Only 190K views is a travesty.
type of song that really hits your heart and awakens your fatherly instincts even if you still are a young punk...brings tears to my eyes every single time....
this guy is so underrated ...
calvin ,
exactly man.
You stole my thought.
he is been underrated since '95. fortunately he was able to live with his rap songs for years. Only 200k views on most videos making me sick, this guy deserve a lot more.
Properly rated up North. True heads know in the 🇺🇲
This song is one of the only songs that brings tears to my eyes every time. Thank you
i guess you have never listened to Inspiration by Classified?
Ryan Pope cant really assume that from what he said.
Agreed
Try Mac lethals jake and olive it's just as good if not better than this
Tanner Hogeboom its good but on 2 different lvls,, you cant say one is better.
As a single dad, thank you for a song that really hits home. Classy
how does this not have a SHIT ton of views. THIS is real music.
I just got lyrics from this song tattooed on my chest yesterday, along a partial portrait of my 2 daughters walking into the water on a beach. This is my all time fave song, know it word for word, my daughters mean everything to me.
There's a reason I've always been a fan of this man's music.
Best Hip-Hop minded artist I've heard.
Good song
Prolly the best hip-hop artist out there, but only 25k views? Every mother on earth gave birth to a child, except classifieds mother, she gave birth to a fucking legend! This dude deserves more
"over protective, but that don't mean that I don't trust you" so damn true

As a father of 2 little girls I love this song. Really hits me , one of class his best songs imo
Made me cry at the end, I have a wonderful relationship with my father and the end broke my heart, I never want my dad to leave he is my best friend...
I remember going to see Class in Saint John back in the day when only 20 people would show up, still put out the same effort then as he does now
honestly when i first heard this song it brought a tear to my eye, class never disappoints with his music. he did an awesome job on the video too
I don't have kids, but this song sends chills throughout my whole body...Luke Boyd you are a great father! Respect to all the mothers and fathers out there!
If you have a daughter, this just hits you.. thanks Class
This song damn near made me stop breathing, honestly breathtaking. I thought this type of music became a dead end, but then I found you. Good songs man.
Gives me the feels. Beautiful as the father of a Daughter.
Goosebumps all over. This is why I will never stop bumping class til the day i drop
u SIR are an Inspiration to generations and generations to come... your music will continue to push farther and farther. dont ever stop. Ur a legend

Lyrics
Getting all these thoughts in my head
Cause I know that things will change
Yeah I know that things will change
Getting all these thoughts in my head
Cause Tomorrow won't be the same
But tomorrow won't be the same
[Verse 1:]
I pull up to the traffic light, red light, coasting
Glancing the rear view as your eyelids slowly closing
Adjust the radio turn it lower and let your song play
Slowly go to sleep get some rest it's been a long day
I don't need too much I just want to make my kids proud
Wishing that her life can stay as peaceful as it is now
Nothing stays the same though, day in to day out
The forecast changes so you got to keep your raincoat close
I hope that you and your sister can work through the bruises and blisters
The sibling rivalry when you argue and bicker
Lot of pain lot of joy
You'll go through what I went through with her
Ain't nothing to it if you keep your family rooted, ughh
Don't grow up too quick
Enjoy the freedom when you're young before you lose it
You already trying to tell me that you a big girl
I'm scared as hell to let my little baby grow up in this big world
I will be asking where you're going who's your friends what you up to
Over protective but that don't mean I don't trust you
I just don't trust everybody you go party with
I've been in your position baby girl I know how hard it is
[Hook]
[Verse 2:]
And I know that you won't agree with my rules
Probably around the time you attending high school
I'll tell ya don't smoke, don't drink, or buy booze
You'll say that I'm a hypocrite cause I do it and get high too
But do you really wanna look and feel like I do?
At your age you don't want to walk in my shoes
Get up your marks get up your smarts get up your IQ
The real party it don't start until after high school
So don't stress who's popular and best dressed
Forget the peer pressure ain't no one to impress
Besides everyone in high school who seem cool
That's it; they usually never see their dreams through
There's so many right and wrongs when you raise a kid
I just want that father and daughter relationship
I know in time, that we'll argue and you'll hate me
But I pray to God you'll thank me,
Like dad I'm glad you raised me
[Hook]
Love rap that has a meaning to it. Love classified

+Kelvin Lange I feel embaressed that I live in the same country as Drake.
