I saw them make this and man it's crazy how times have changed. Alot of people in this have passed now. The mechanic he stands next to is Ricky hall and he just passed last year from covid. The blue bridge they stand on is gone now. I miss the old days and I'm glad I can come here and see it still somewhat.

    I grew up in the country in Georgia. This song and the comments really bring back great memories of me and my cousins running around in the woods, climbing trees, making forts, going fishing, throwing rocks on the gravel roads, eating whatever the seasonal fruit right off the trees, watching my granddad and my uncles field dress and smoked hogs in the fall....oh those were simpler times...the good old days. Also poor was poor, regardless of race. The poor whites and blacks seemed to have gotten along great because they had a lot in common.

    I’m from West Kentucky. This song makes me sad and happy. I grew up in a mixed home. Times was tough af. Catching racism from both sides was very hard. My family made it though. We don’t have to answer to racists no more. 🇺🇸

    I'm a metal head but also love 90's/00's hip-hop. This came out when I was in the military and stationed in VA. I used to visit home in GA every free weekend i had and Nappy Roots was always heavy on my CD rotation, made that terrible ride on I-95 bearable. I miss them days.
