      I disagree with Chris. Song of the year goes to this song. Not a fighter. ✌️

    This is life saving music. The entire message and delivery. THANK YOU MOSES!! After so many paradoxical social struggles and cyclical conversations, I'd basically gone numb, but at least I dont feel alone anymore. I'm paying it forward and I will thank you face to face one day. ♾💜

    I have had found it hard to listen to music lately as my father passed on my birthday not long ago but not before promising me we shall meet again and your essence somehow feels as if my father is speaking through your humble grace

    Did you guys realize that the stores that he’s in front of have all gone out of business and now are dilapidated? Where I am, those businesses have shut down and he’s bent over backwards in front of them literally giving his all!!! it really speaks to the artist in him. He left no stone unturned. We’re going to understand this message in every way. He’s a genius!! I needed these messages, straight from Spirit😭

    Græ was truly an experience. Every single track is excellence 🔥. But lyrically bystandards is the song I relate to the most. It tells a message most of us wish we'd learned from a bit earlier than we did; however early we may have.

    The artistry expressed in his music and videos never fails to pulls me into his space. I can't wait for touring to begin again 😣 I just know going to one of his concerts will be an experience

    I love your words as usual😏 always a message🌹... Love that your voice is a gift, and you usually deliver a word... The words remind me of someone on trial, and hardly able to convey the story through which not knowing to trust to tell from the gut-truth or to lie... Or are they already doomed before a word leaves their lips? Are the plans for this person already in motion before they sit before a jury of their peers??? Also could be relative to any form of social media being judged by ppl as well... That's my perception... Love the respectful artistry due to this pandemic... You have always been enough on the screen for my eyes to devour the essence you portray...

    I’m wondering if someone else could have put these words together as good as Moses did. I truly love all the poetry in your music and your Art. Regardless your overwhelming voice. Thank you for all that. Really inspiring.

    I really hope this video was shot in an all-white area of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi or somewhere like that... I would love to be a fly on the wall in the Dollar General or Kmart manager's office as they review the tape and attempt to decipher the meaning of Sumney's demonstration. Can't stop laughing at the thought. Thank you. "Go down Moses, way over in Egypt's land. Tell ol Pharoah. 'Let my people go!'"
