With everything going on now, it’s easy to feel powerless, but please keep being the voice for the voiceless. Don’t let their lack of humanity steal yours. Inshallah the children of Palestine/Kashmir/Yemen/Chile will see peace and stability.
I will be 66 soon. I only discovered Lowkey recently. His humanity, intellect and artistry is far above the vast majority of so-called entertainers today. No wonder I've never heard of him before. Those in power now are ugly and without a soul.
Bloodfire. Lowkey will be remembered in history for saying what others don’t. When the art of words was used for spreading knowledge. I remember first hearing Key To The Game vol 1 when he was 17 and you knew he was here to stay but the person he has become, standing up for the oppressed or those who’s voices struggle to be heard...salute salute salute. Sick video too 🔥
For real proud to have met him, he was sat quietly alone at the back of a music gig deep In thought before he went on stage, a real powerful unique presence about him .
Ravinder Sian are you actually serious? 😂 every person mentioned here is a Marxist. All his lyrics are marxist philosophy, if you can’t see that you dunno what Marx is 😂
Ravinder Sian bro I’m not gonna write an essay on TH-cam there is too much to write about it from the first quote to what happened at the end. The people he mentions (Paul Robeson e.g) and basically saying the 1% are inherently evil just because they are rich and have acquired capital and property (marxist don’t believe in private ownership)..power to the people marxist people the workers should have shared ownership of the companies they work in (e.g iPhone-Apple / football club/ stadiums which he mentions) like I said I could do go onto every bar but this is definitely a marxist song.
I didn't know one of the people mentioned but the lyft driver worker who gave me a ride one day was like WHOAH what! They're somalian! we had a good discussion afterwards. Lowkey's music brings together humanity and encourages love and community across all of humanity.
Power to people who are trying to make this world a better place to be and live. Power to people who beleive in God. Power to the people who feel lost. Power to Kareem for keeping it Lowkey. Power to the people who bring out the best in others. Power to people do real charity✌🏽
2:52 Power to the fishermen that where forced into Piracy. 🏴☠️ ✊🏽 Somalia 🇸🇴 stand up! Ayy! Death before dishonour. Truth shall set us free. Power to everybody that struggles daily around the world ✊🏽 Power to LowKey ✊🏽 We want redistribution of power until power is ours!
Michael 200% Somalia’s economy was destroyed by the superpowers. Something you may not know about. Infact if America didn’t get involved in Somali issues in the early 90s Somalia would still be the most powerful country in Africa as it once was. Again something you may not know about.
Goosebumps. What an incredible poem/song that is. I would like to also say POWER to the Venezuelan PEOPLE who are now torn between the imperial economic dominance of the US and the corrupted violent dictatorship the Chavismo government became over the last 10 years. Millions fled, millions live with squeeze from all sides daily. If only they knew the privileged westerners around the world use them as an ideological playground. Power to them.
This is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen in my life. Topic, lyrics, visuals, everything is on point. Kareem is the realest rapper to ever hold the mic imo. Much love and respect!
@@Nyle95 Question Time was drill was it? He won an Ivor Novello for that alone. JKL+HYD is about as conscious as you could get and that was 3 years ago. Stick to hugging Akala's nuts & don't @ me. Nerd.
@ຸ ຸ ຸ ຸ I said nothing about money and I'm not going off anything from this song. My point is people want the power given back to the people and a government for the people which eventually will just end up the same as it is now.
4U2NV 4.540 Yo young blood, if I could give you one lesson from the future, on everything I hold dear to me, it’s to STAY IN EDUCATION, keep your self out of trouble, you might get bored, but stay out of trouble, give 100% in school and you can achieve ANYTHING, you could be the person to change the world for the rest of us. I was blessed with the intelligence and the ideas to change the country for the better, but I was forced down a path of trying to chase fast money, which led to crime, rendering my intelligence and ideas completely void. Don’t make the same mistake. Peace and prosperity to you young blood.
They have been brainwashed.. The system keep churning.. The good get buried the bad get promoted...such is the state of our exsistence.. For now...But the Most High is coming back to restore righteousness to the universe
I think about this song on a near daily basis. Not because its a good song (it is) but because its truth and facts that matter each day. It hurts. But art like this song is what helps us wake up and remove the blindfold. I try and share this song with as many people as I can because it really is so much more than a song. It is a revelation.
Lowkey,respect i have listened to you since you where lowkizzy and real conscious people are grateful for the unique special message you voice. Long live lowkey.
Sadly and paradoxically within the UK rap scene Lowkey is amongst the 1% of rappers that consistently narrate the real stories via music....We need more like him!!!
This is a masterpiece right here. So many people keep saying that Ocean Wisdom is the UK’s finest ... but in my opinion Lowkey is. Conscious songs will always outshine songs that don’t have a message.
...And definitely power to you as well Mr.Dennis Kareem for your hard inspirational work, kindled spirit and your efforts to awake the world from its heedlessness. Be proud that your raps are not simple mumble meaningless craps that float on the surface. As time will carry on, more people will appreciate your art, that will glow like gold beside loads of scoria. Greetings from Morocco
The 1 per cent should be ashamed they sit and watch us all struggle sending healing vibrations to all need it and love and light spread kindness not war
Lowkey is the man of rap talks about what is going on around the world and who is suffering, other rappers talk about drugs guns and crime let's get some positivity out there Big up Lowkey
Uncle Sam's socialism went really well didn’t and is going really well in country’s loolll ppl like u will never be in charge of the world and god help us if ppl like u ever r
@@SenszR how can you say with a straight face that capitalism hasn't failed us all? Are you part of the 1%? If not, you have been cheated out of the full value of your labor. Our work creates wealth and the owner of the company skims off as much value as they legally can because they know they can rely on the police to lock up any workers who dare to take what they have worked for.
R. H.F. 😂😂😂 no... the boss takes on the responsibility of the company and gets paid based on that. YOUR lazy ass just signs up for the job, takes on 0 responsibility and wants to be paid like the boss because u are an entitled prick. The world owes you nothing. Go and watch some AOC videos or something don’t @ me with such a weak and selfish argument.
Proper lyrics!! Not like all these hype rappers talking big about the fake money they make !! Rented cars rented houses all money spent on clothes and abit of jewellery which is probably there only asset. These rappers are ruining our youth by rapping about violence / guns / knives / robbing each other and drugs and making each other kill each other for street credit
Power to tge people. Wake up and see the world for what it is and only then you can guide yourself threw the evil to the light.may god bless everyone who has seen this and massive shout out to lowkey always awoken #1%er.

Very very touched by this song, loved every second of this video! The amazing visuals by Ahmed, along with the heartfelt lyrics by Lowkey, brought me to tears
Lowkey an Dave need to do a collab. Shit would go down in history. People say I’m mad when I say Lowkey an Dave are best rappers ever lived better than Pac an biggie not just UK the world the messages are so much deeper. Timeless....
Can't compare Dave n Lowkey man, Dave is good but Lowkey is established. Don't get me wrong, for Dave's age and what he's released so far, he's got mad potential. But you can't be trying to equate him to a master
Where the duck would humanity be without people like #Lowkey ??? Totally ducked! Thank you for existing Lowkey, thank you for fighting, you are a channel for so many! Keep pushing kiddo, your species salutes you, bringing back hope...
Lowkeys face when he said he was here is the happiness I couldn't begin to imagine❤️well done. Power to all the people who show love and hate never❤️👀allhamdulilah
I've heard this song so many times but it started playing while i had my headphones on and i caught all the lines and .... wow! just wow! music is such a powerfull thing. It can literally make you feel things and empathise in a way most other forms of art cant. Thank you lowkey for this song

Bedutainment everyone is saying this right now he's a sheep so are you.
For real proud to have met him, he was sat quietly alone at the back of a music gig deep In thought before he went on stage, a real powerful unique presence about him .
Lowkey and Immortal Technique have great philosophy to impart in their songs, like hip-hop originally meant to do.
respect for this song
We need more artists spreading positivity like this💯💪
Most of us our hidden until it's time for us to expose our higher self I know the minority of us were born for these revolutionary times
This is not positivity this is Marxism - packaged up in hip hop.

Lyrics:
Talking in terms of power
Where the power is
Who's shaping the condition of our lives
Who determines the quality of the air we breathe
The food we eat, the water we drink
The kinda jobs we can have
The images we have to deal with and such
If I can sing this song without you
Maybe all is well
If we can sing this song without you
We don't need your wealth
This is my letter to the 1%
If I can sing this song without you
Maybe all is well
If we can sing this song without you
We don't need your wealth
Power to those who read bell hooks, power to those who sell books
Power to those who know how the inside of a cell looks
All those feeling helpless, forgotten and discarded
Power to the strange fruit you thought was rotten in the garden
Power to those sitting alone, seeking solace in the calmness
Power to those feeling stained, know your tomorrow isn't tarnished
Power to those who sweep the streets with more knowledge than PhD's
Power to those that keep their keys, return this promise, please believe
Power to those that suffer in silence, those it hurts to hear
Power to those that hold their ground, power to those that persevere
Power to those that love humanity more than they love style
Power to immigrants probably raising Donald Trump's child
Power to the blind who can't imagine what sight is
Those staring at the moon and all those working night-shifts
Power to the readers, the writers, the illiterate
Power to those that struggle to decolonise their syllabus
Power to the shy ones, always struggle to make friends
And the half of humanity worth less than eight men
Power to those that risked their life to dig the coltan from the ground
For the mic I'm spitting on and the phone you're holding now
Power to those that build the stadium they're playing in
Power to those that mowed the grass and stitched the ball that they're playing with
Power to every rapper that doesn't rap about killing
Power to the builders who built buildings that outlived them
If I can sing this song without you
Maybe all is well
If we can sing this song without you
We don't need your wealth
Power to the slaves of Ancient Greece that never had the right to vote
Democracy dead like Gary Webb, when they import it like it's coke
Power to those that write to prison, power to those writing home
Power to those writing poems, power to those that died alone
Power to Curtis Mayfield, power to Ronald Isley
Power to the fishermen that were forced into piracy
Power to every person that is working in a library
Power to every nurse that we turn to in our times of need
Power to the unions and the miners Thatcher punished
Power to those that drive the buses and those that collect the rubbish
Power to the youth desiring the truth
Power to every rapper that is dying for a Fire in the Booth
For those that lost limbs to King Leopald's quota
And those risking their lives for the P&O to Dover
Power to union leaders murdered by...
Power to victims of this globalised cosa nostra
Power to those dying on the shores and the borders
Power to human beings that were rendered fauna and flora
Power to those that cleaned up after the stage show
And Carnival goers still haunted by Kelso Cochrane's ghost
Power to Kevin Carter his picture taunts us ever after
So many questions never answered
Remember the last words of Abdul-Muhsin
Al-Saadoun, "الأمة تنتظر الخدمة، الإنجليز لا يوافقون"
Power to Al-Jawahiri and his rebellions
They killed his brother Ja'far and he cursed the rotten Thamesians
Enlighten despots pursuing tactics Machiavellian
Chinese still preceded Europa millennium, think about it
Printed press half a millennium never get close
Power to Ken Loach and every volunteer in Lesbos
Cuban doctors sent to Sri Lanka for the tsunami
Power to those that cleaned up after the Bullingdon parties
If I can sing this song without you
Maybe all is well
If we can sing this song without you
We don't need your wealth
Kids knowing Apple products before they know what an apple is
Forgotten like passengers on the USS Indianapolis
Dying days, for they could see what little boy's damage did
On the precipice of fascism, my passiveness is cancerous
Power to those strong enough to dream
Power to those that chose not to be a cog in the machine
Power to those that love first and hate never
Power to those that sleep on the streets through grey weather
Power to Aziz Ali, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony
Power to Norman Baker, David Kelly's ulnar artery
Power to the genocided population of Tasmania
The internet descends to Trumptastic fantasia
Let them try and quote this
You'll never find a better diagnosis than collective psychosis
It's getting quite hopeless but hope is all we have
Tryna cultivate the positive, not focus on the bad
But the globe's under attack
The obnoxious rage of a fake intellectual
Amazing grace in the age of the spectacle
Not the first time they found a racist electable
To raise to the pedestal
And desecrate the place that translated the decimal
I don't wanna tempt fate
Power to corpse-washers like Salvador Allende
Power to language learners, Bernie Sanders fans to flag-burners
One man's inertia is another man's purpose
In the utopia of song, we are victorious
But the bitter sweet reality is not this glorious
Power to Coltrane watching Malcolm X
Power to Paul Robeson under house-arrest
Power to Galileo under house-arrest
Power to Ibn Haytham under house-arrest
Forgive me if I sound obsessed
This is my letter to the 1%
The redistribution of power
The redistribution of power
We want the redistribution of power
We want the redistribution of power
We want the redistribution of power
The redistribution of power until your power is ours
Until your power is ours
If I can sing this song without you
Maybe all is well
If we can sing this song without you
We don't need your wealth
Power to you
@@safwannibraz And power to you my friend 🤘
Thank you, Lowkey, you are a true poet.
Feel every single word spoken. Real Talk...
You know the lyrics are great when your inner voice says ‘ya allah’
This is very moving
Very very touched by this song, loved every second of this video! The amazing visuals by Ahmed, along with the heartfelt lyrics by Lowkey, brought me to tears
Definitely one of the most lyrical rapper in the world
We have nothing to lose but our chains.
Criminally disgustingly underrated Long Love Lowkey ❤️
Lowkey an Dave need to do a collab. Shit would go down in history. People say I’m mad when I say Lowkey an Dave are best rappers ever lived better than Pac an biggie not just UK the world the messages are so much deeper. Timeless....
100
Fuck off dave is miles off, man makes pop tunes
Can't compare Dave n Lowkey man, Dave is good but Lowkey is established. Don't get me wrong, for Dave's age and what he's released so far, he's got mad potential. But you can't be trying to equate him to a master
@@realeyesrealisereallies97 You lot need to learn to read, no one compared them ffs. We just said a link up would be mad...
@@Timsticlestv lool you're right g. I'm answering my own question here.
A link up would be mad tho
Where the duck would humanity be without people like #Lowkey ???
Totally ducked!
Thank you for existing Lowkey, thank you for fighting, you are a channel for so many!
Keep pushing kiddo, your species salutes you, bringing back hope...
Power to those who are feeling this !
This is beautiful
Touching ending.
Using kids to push an agenda is fucked. I can't help see things differently as a legal immigrant
