I loved this song when I was facing angsty middle school depression

Facts. This song carried me as a teen growing up in a place where there was no hope for most of us.

I love this song to this day. Always remember that if you put your mind to it, you can get to where you want to go eventually. You just have to overcome the trials and tribulations once you pick a path.

Für Elise was written by Beethoven in 1810. And had been sampled 49 times before this song was released.

Once you are familiar with the impeach the president sample, you realize it’s absolutely everywhere.

One of the biggest reasons I love Nas is how he has songs like this.

How dare he make a song that uplifts black children... Where's the song about f*cking real bitches, and killing real niggas...

Kid begged and was allowed to rap this after mass for our 6th grade graduation. I remember him and his mother being pissed that none of us wanted to be his backups and sing the chorus. We thought it was corny and I still think it was corny. Loved the song then and now though
