Here is the Nas verse. Now, listen and read along. And while you're at it, research the people he mentioned: I am Sugar Ray Robinson, Booker T. Washington W. E. B. Du Bois, I'm the modern one Yelling at Senators, Presidents, Congressmen We got a problem that needs some acknowledgement I am no prison commodity, not just a body you throw in a cell For any reason, just to bother me Just for your quota, so it's rest in peace to Sean Bell Sleep in peace Eric Garner (Sandra) Every street, every corner Conspiracy, new world order I spoke to Tamir Rice mom and she told me "be strong" It won't be long 'til it's justice They won't have votes but refuse the discussion On how certain cops they shoot us for nothing Revolution is coming
+Wilkine Brutus W.E.B. Du Bois detested Booker T. Washington, who subjugated black students in the South to cater to the White Southerners. Ah, if Nas knew that, such contradictions wouldn't exist.
Sonorous But Washington shouldn't be defined by his flaws and nor should Du Bois, who sparked controversy with the "talented tenth." And, as such, Nas's entire verse should be defined by his mere name dropping of men who contributed to black empowerment. It was a great verse.
+Wilkine Brutus Completely agree about not "defining someone through flaws." But, this one is hardly permissible. I don't know how much you have read from - or about - Booker T. Washington, but there is a strong incentive against his philosophy of submission. As a student of African-American literature, I can quote Ralph Ellison, Richard Wright and James Baldwin, amongst a host of other contemporary African-American intellectuals that have criticized Washington's ideology as a threat against Afro-Americanism. Also, I see why Nas would call himself the "modern W.E.B. Du Bois," although its completely harrowing, because he sponsored a Hip-Hop scholarship at the Harvard W.E.B. Du Bois Research Institute at Hutchins Center. Entry for 1 person per year, hardly accounts for much of a "scholarship." This is the Issue I have Wilkine, and Im completely not alone in this disposition, that of politicizing Art and making a shame of the medium. This song, falls into the same category of protest Novel, or music, and reduces its efficacy as either. And I'll use Kendrick Lamar's TPAB as my crux. Kendrick's album blends both beautifully; rhythmically. And you have to search for it. Just like you had to in understanding the pivotal American novel -- the greatest by an African-American -- of the 21st century: Invisible Man. If this is how you define a great verse, I seriously advise you to consider Kendrick's album.
The message is too strong for people to handle I guess. Also it shows us in a different light than what they how they want us to be seen. The more people realise that we're people too, not just mindless thugs, but people with innocent lives and feelings, the more people go against them.
Same here man I just wish music like this that sends a proper message for society problems gets out more often in the public but radio networks don't care about this kind of music they only use the poopular stuff
I'm glad Usher spoke out about police brutality. I wish more artist were socially conscious like him. Stop selling us sex, sell us something real like people dying everyday over the color of their skin.
+Nala Baker I think he's speaking more about people killing eachother, whether it be the police or blacks doing dumb illegal shit! I have zero problem with police killing some dumbazz on a police chase! Which is basically happening, Police killing dummies who just cant act right!
+BronerBeast He is speaking to both issues actually that why he uses mostly black men in the video. I understand your position, but let's not neglect the big idea of the video.
i mean there are those who got shot because they wouldnt stop moving and ACTUALLY were resisting arrest. not all white cops kill for no reason. just like not all black people are stupid, violent, loud mouths that listen to retarded ass music like young thug and rich homie quan. but there are some of course.
+Nala Baker Usher made his whole career by selling sex. Are you that blind? Just because he made one song about real issues now he is a messiah. You are the very definition of being a sheeple.
I've been in love with this song since I heard it. You can't help but to shed a few tears when you hear it. Just imagine if J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar, David Banner, Common, & a few others were on this track.
mentioned this before via my other social media, but for those who might care, the building that was used to film the church scenes in this music video is the Basilica of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Brooklyn New York. as the adopted mixed race son of an Irish working class family from Brooklyn, I know this building very well, since my parents were raised under its parish. my uncle, a priest from the order of Redemptorists, is retired out of this very church. As a singer, I've done countless funerals, Sunday Masses, and other such services at the very altar Usher was praying to. many wonderful people have gotten married, baptized, eulogized, and remembered at OLPH. I'm glad Usher chose this important piece of Brooklyn history to notate this very real problem. keep fighting the good fight everyone, never give up hope #ibelieveblacklivesmatter
+P. Murray I'm a no name douche? Look at you going around various social media outlets trying to get praise for knowing which church it was filmed at and for going to that church. Pathetic loser. Nobody gives a shit.
When I heard about Alton Sterling I thought of this song. I listened to it and cried. I can't believe that incidents like this happen in our world. Rest in peace Alton
Dear person reading this, You're maybe going through a hard time right know, are feeling insecure and unimportant, but please know that you are a beautiful human being inside and out and that your hard work will pay off some day, just keep trying ! Don't let somebody tell you that you can't do something, remember that impossible is just a big word used by small men ! I Just trying to write some uplifting comments, sometimes we just need that, I hope it helped you a bit ! :)
It is truly sad to see African American lives be swept away. Many of my kinfolks are disappearing right before my eyes. The pain that I had to endure as so many of my kind dies for no reason. We are indeed in chains and we have to have shame put on us. Even though many people die everyday, I can feel that people do not want to die in the hands of others. So many people being disrespected and harmed each day. It is truly a disappointment to see where our world has became. May God protect us all in this dangerous world. One day, hopefully, we can all love instead of hate each other. One day...
I'm tired. My husband is tired. Our sons a grown and living their lives. One newly married, the other just finishing up college. We've lived our lives to the fullest, as best we can. We've helped many of our people through our respective professions. The plan was to relocate to Ghana. After watching 13th, we changed our minds. Running away is the cowards way out. We're staying here. We're ready to diie for the cause, if need be. We have our weapons, all licensed. and ready. We're ready to go to war.
Wow! This is absolutely amazing music-video! Nas killed this shit! Good job, Usher and guys! Also guys, please welcome to my channel, I make nice covers and hope you like them!;) Have a good day!
This was moving and very positive. I appreciated the lyrics and how it addresses the forgotten. Words that have left scars in the African American community and the video showing the unjust. It was well put together and I believe in its success for many years to come. Thank you to Usher and the team who help him bring to life a message and solution.
2019 and i still think we need this song to come back and get artist to make songs like this and not things like there relationships or money or stupid things we need songs to spread a message like this or some thing that would make the world better
bernie sanders has intentions to recreate the justice system lets hope that happens and vote for him in the mean time... after all he marched with martin luther king jr
Joe Ritola True but I think the 2 party system will find a way to dispose of him. The next best thing would then be the Green Party - Green Party at local races too.
+jeff4justice yes seems reasonable, sanders is also against the way money can damn near buy elections so he has intent to change alot of these things regarding the abuse of wealth in a supposedly democratic america. so yes you are thinking along the right lines
+jeff4justice yet if bernie is elected i think the things u say will never change will begin to change. go watch killer mikes interviews with bernie sanders its great.
Nas is that dude! This is just a daily reminder of what we endure. Things definitely have to change. Usher, thank you for using your platform to speak about the injustices in our community.
I'm glad the artist are talking about police brutality in their songs. The revolution are coming and will not be televised. Congratulations Usher, Nas and Bibi Bourelly. I hope more celebrities start selling us more love, hope, knowledge than sex and drugs. I'm from Brazil and i feel the pain for my brothers and sisters of color dying around the world.
Do you guys now understand why artists don't make this kind of music...Compare the success of ushers other songs to this, People don't give a shit about real shit that goes down, they're too interested in money, half naked women and sex.
U_Aint_Got_The_Answers Yeezus not everyone can make songs like this and most people don't have thick enough skin to survive the results of what come of this.
my heart go out to Usher No Limit babe the world is yours .we as a people have to understand mental illness is no joke we have to pray for these woman..
My favorite verse ever "Don't act like you saving us, Its still the same, Mannn Don't act like I made it up, You blaming us, To keep 1-hunnid, You gave the name to us, *Nigga*."
13th brought me here. Helped me gain some perspective I needed. In a time when stats can be skewed to whoever's narrative, it's good to have stats that show how they were derived. Some of the best music slides under the radar like this song. Thank you Usher for such a heartfelt song. This is the thought provoking song I needed.
It's good to see these black artist using their platforms to speak out against what is happening to the black society in America. It goes to show the what black individuals are going through not only affects them individually but the entire black population regardless of our class status and culture or whatever region we are from.
we as blacks we are the future, they know cause they want to eliminate their greatest threat and rival . word of advice so many have tried and failed. we are almost there. God bless Africa
I just recently watched this video and moved by it message. Blacks are really suffering from racial differences. I love the part that says that there is a REVOLUTION coming. All will be well someday.
Profound and inspirational...Usher! Maybe the most disciplined and hard working artist there is! I hope I will meet him one day to shake his hand for his contributions to art and society!
I am not black in any way possible (still a minority tho), and this message not only touched me, but blew me away. People often say that modern music isn't real music, but just because music might be different from than, does not mean it is not good music. This video showed that music STILL carries a message when we need it. Usher, Nas, and all in the production of this song, good job. Note: Usher is aging well. :)
I'm 14years old and i'm americain but i live in France since my 2 years old.. When i saw 13th on Netflix , i remembered that we live in a world where a personn are free . In France , all this does not exist but when i see my country disaster by racism , i just want to come back and fight me for equality like all our heroes . Stay strong my brothers , #BlackLiveMatter

My question is: why won't the radio play this? Oh yea..
I agree with you they should do
+mmpk0422 Because he is not Beyonce.
B/c people don't want to hear the truth of this world.

Here is the Nas verse. Now, listen and read along. And while you're at it, research the people he mentioned:
I am Sugar Ray Robinson, Booker T. Washington
W. E. B. Du Bois, I'm the modern one
Yelling at Senators, Presidents, Congressmen
We got a problem that needs some acknowledgement
I am no prison commodity, not just a body you throw in a cell
For any reason, just to bother me
Just for your quota, so it's rest in peace to Sean Bell
Sleep in peace Eric Garner (Sandra)
Every street, every corner
Conspiracy, new world order
I spoke to Tamir Rice mom and she told me "be strong"
It won't be long 'til it's justice
They won't have votes but refuse the discussion
On how certain cops they shoot us for nothing
Revolution is coming
say it louder for the people in the back
+Wilkine Brutus W.E.B. Du Bois detested Booker T. Washington, who subjugated black students in the South to cater to the White Southerners. Ah, if Nas knew that, such contradictions wouldn't exist.
Sonorous But Washington shouldn't be defined by his flaws and nor should Du Bois, who sparked controversy with the "talented tenth." And, as such, Nas's entire verse should be defined by his mere name dropping of men who contributed to black empowerment. It was a great verse.
+Wilkine Brutus
Completely agree about not "defining someone through flaws." But, this one is hardly permissible. I don't know how much you have read from - or about - Booker T. Washington, but there is a strong incentive against his philosophy of submission. As a student of African-American literature, I can quote Ralph Ellison, Richard Wright and James Baldwin, amongst a host of other contemporary African-American intellectuals that have criticized Washington's ideology as a threat against Afro-Americanism.
Also, I see why Nas would call himself the "modern W.E.B. Du Bois," although its completely harrowing, because he sponsored a Hip-Hop scholarship at the Harvard W.E.B. Du Bois Research Institute at Hutchins Center. Entry for 1 person per year, hardly accounts for much of a "scholarship."
This is the Issue I have Wilkine, and Im completely not alone in this disposition, that of politicizing Art and making a shame of the medium.

Me Too

olawale a same here
olawale a me as well ✌️️
Why are songs like this not played on the radio...
+Cheryse Patterson The message behind the song
The message is too strong for people to handle I guess. Also it shows us in a different light than what they how they want us to be seen. The more people realise that we're people too, not just mindless thugs, but people with innocent lives and feelings, the more people go against them.
Radio wouldn't play this song, because it's TOO BLACK AND THE TRUTH!!!
You know a certain demographic of people cannot handle the truth.
It was played in Mississippi a few times when I went home a few summers ago. But it is Mississippi....
People are scared of the truth and how people may react to it.
This may be the most unappreciated Usher song ever created. And it had a helluva message. CRAZY
I'm not black but I honestly respect black people and I love this message
i respect those who deserve respect. im not going to kiss any races ass.
😊😊😊😊💯✔
Much respect ✊🏾
+justin brewer .. I AGREE JUSTIN.
+I AGREE WITH THAT TOO.Lunar Orbit
very proud of Usher doing this . I knew Nas was capable but this is new for Usher .
I'm so glad because it shows that he's mature man and recognizes what's really going on. The church scene blew my mind.
Rod Davis. this isnt new hes the juneteenth guy remember years ago he had that shirt on the carpet
Same here man I just wish music like this that sends a proper message for society problems gets out more often in the public but radio networks don't care about this kind of music they only use the poopular stuff

This song came out 4 years ago! Sad to to know we're still having these issues 4 years late in 2020
13th on Netflix brought me here
heard this song on 13th the movie ✊✊✊
Shana Barnes hi
Nas killed this shit!
+Loknath Sarkar best verse iv heard in a while
+dolla What does that have to do with him killing the verse?
The verse was really short nothing to be that impressed about
+Danny Stevens its about how cops are putting black people in jail for no reason so yes there is a reason
+Danny Stevens oh yea and how police kill black people for no reason
Usher is awesome!
+Advay Shah I'm french sorry lol :)
***** Yeah haha :p
+Azazin Detrix thanx for schooling that asshole
+Azazin Detrix yes..
super
LOVE USHER AND NAS!!!! Nas, the greatest rapper of all time. Hands down.
I wonder why I haven't heard this on the radio 🤔😑
Cause you can tell what this is about 30 seconds in
+Rodney Hill it's sad
Because the truth is for you to discover yourself, not for you to be told
Rico Buena because it of
racisim
Rico Buena because they don't want us to hear the truth
I’m from 4 years later and sadly nothing has changed
to the person reading this: YOU are beautiful. YOU are enough. YOU are worth it. NEVER forget that.
Ok
what if the person reading that is part of ISIS?
encouraging words!

Yes but Nas was excellent all by himself as usual.
None of those rappers you named her on Nas’s level
This message needs to be heard. Seriously. And not fucking forgotten. Ever.

I'm a simple man, I hear nas, I press like
Usher using Marvin Gaye techniques of making his music context relevant to real life issues. LEGEND.
Usher killed it like always.❤️❤️❤️
yes usher, this is just wat society needed, a wake up call.
I'm tired. My husband is tired. Our sons a grown and living their lives. One newly married, the other just finishing up college. We've lived our lives to the fullest, as best we can.

We're staying here. We're ready to diie for the cause, if need be. We have our weapons, all licensed. and ready. We're ready to go to war.
Usher can't go back to pop music after this. He should keep making music with social messages as such! Thumbs up !
tear jerking video Usher ...Well Done !
Nas and Usher....2 niggaz who never age, always consistent and under appreciated
Usher is the truth, that's why he's always been my fav artist from the 90's love u UR!!

Usher you are the best ......
We are together for a better world ...........
hug!!!
This song, this video. All I can say is iconic
Wow.....this song is powerful.....I applaud
thanks. I guess
The "justice" system will never improve from the failed 2 party system. We need more options like Green and Libertarian.
bernie sanders has intentions to recreate the justice system lets hope that happens and vote for him in the mean time... after all he marched with martin luther king jr
Joe Ritola True but I think the 2 party system will find a way to dispose of him. The next best thing would then be the Green Party - Green Party at local races too.

+jeff4justice yet if bernie is elected i think the things u say will never change will begin to change. go watch killer mikes interviews with bernie sanders its great.
Hoping people listen to this song...after hearing Usher's recent. I CRY....both very relevant songs
Wow... This made me cry. This was so beautiful. I'm so glad he's taking his platform to make a change.
this should have millions of views already
We need a new album Usher
Nas is that dude! This is just a daily reminder of what we endure. Things definitely have to change. Usher, thank you for using your platform to speak about the injustices in our community.
I'm glad the artist are talking about police brutality in their songs. The revolution are coming and will not be televised. Congratulations Usher, Nas and Bibi Bourelly. I hope more celebrities start selling us more love, hope, knowledge than sex and drugs. I'm from Brazil and i feel the pain for my brothers and sisters of color dying around the world.
proud of usher for his consciousness...same thing that called marvin gaye to make whats goin on. standing ovation bro
About time more artists speak on inequalities and police brutality. Good look Usher! Love it. Btw.... Nas killed that verse. Peace
Jason Taylor Agreed man I still wish songs like this get out more into the public it more but they can't anyone can guess the answer
NAS = greatest.. Usher & Nas together. Legendary!!!!
awesome melody...rhyme...just listen this pure art
usher killed that shit love you usher
Do you guys now understand why artists don't make this kind of music...Compare the success of ushers other songs to this, People don't give a shit about real shit that goes down, they're too interested in money, half naked women and sex.
U_Aint_Got_The_Answers Yeezus not everyone can make songs like this and most people don't have thick enough skin to survive the results of what come of this.
This song will stay relevant great job King! Raymond
my heart go out to Usher No Limit babe the world is yours .we as a people have to understand mental illness is no joke we have to pray for these woman..
How can anybody dislike this but hay its not for everybody at least hopefully it reach a million plus
hay is for horses

Imagine if they'd also put Kendrick Lamar to do a verse!!
Burning Pooper then it would be EPIC
Or Sergio Bowers, Big Minded Music. This reminds me of his song "your corrupt"
Back at u
This mv made me cry ... I love usher 💓
I survived pneumonia,4 times, COVID, sephis, as well as diabetes ketosis, I asked Imam Abdullah Barry and he said it wasn't my time.
essa musica é muito forte! sempre me emociono e o clipe é mais lindo ainda! que mensagem! USHER SEMPRE MARAVILHOSO

Im gonna cry, im hella proud that this topic is BLOWING UP in pop culture and media. ♥
13th brought me here. Helped me gain some perspective I needed. In a time when stats can be skewed to whoever's narrative, it's good to have stats that show how they were derived. Some of the best music slides under the radar like this song. Thank you Usher for such a heartfelt song. This is the thought provoking song I needed.
SIMPLESMENTE AMOOOO TUDO O QUE ESSE ABENÇOADO FAZ.
I Love this song. I Love the video. Fire...Fire...Fire!!!🔥🔥🔥
Omg!!! Usher jus keeps making me proud 💯💯😘... love u Ush !!😘 this is awesom
It's good to see these black artist using their platforms to speak out against what is happening to the black society in America. It goes to show the what black individuals are going through not only affects them individually but the entire black population regardless of our class status and culture or whatever region we are from.
Amen, the church scene blew my mind. These people were soulless because their prayers went unanswered.
Deep message, love you Usher~
I'm Black And I'm Proud ,,! Great Song ,,!
I'm from Brazil and i am black young. love the music
Happy black history month ✊🏾 we still in chains and we will fight until they're broken
This song deep asf. But strong message to the young generation its sad how police treat us. Its time we become strong and protect the next generation
I LOVE YOU USHER ♥♥♥
we as blacks we are the future, they know cause they want to eliminate their greatest threat and rival . word of advice so many have tried and failed. we are almost there. God bless Africa
This still breaks my heart because it just hits home so hard.
Donald Glover’s “this is America” reminded me of this song. I’m glad more artists are bringing up policy brutality and the issues that POC face.
I just recently watched this video and moved by it message. Blacks are really suffering from racial differences. I love the part that says that there is a REVOLUTION coming. All will be well someday.
This is a powerful message Usher, Nas, Bibi thank you, and awesome job to those who we're involved in making the video!
Revolution is coming yeah usher from Egypt love you man 👌🏽
Nas is the greatest of all time
Nasir Jones- the most intelligent rapper of all time
Damn Nas killing it 22 years later 🙌🏻
4 years later and still relatable 😞😞💔 #gerogefloyd
Everyone's getting really socially aware and conscious lately. Interesting....isn't it. Love the song though.
This shit is fucking hard as hell
Profound and inspirational...Usher! Maybe the most disciplined and hard working artist there is! I hope I will meet him one day to shake his hand for his contributions to art and society!
Powerful video. thank you for speaking what needs to be brought out. Powerful i am in tears. Thank you
Usher the best !
Straight 🔥
I am not black in any way possible (still a minority tho), and this message not only touched me, but blew me away. People often say that modern music isn't real music, but just because music might be different from than, does not mean it is not good music. This video showed that music STILL carries a message when we need it. Usher, Nas, and all in the production of this song, good job.
Note: Usher is aging well. :)
I'm 14years old and i'm americain but i live in France since my 2 years old.. When i saw 13th on Netflix , i remembered that we live in a world where a personn are free . In France , all this does not exist but when i see my country disaster by racism , i just want to come back and fight me for equality like all our heroes . Stay strong my brothers , #BlackLiveMatter
Such an excellent lyric! I just don't understand racist people.
