It’s a crappy song about three people who made very bad life choices and are faced with the consequences of those choices. We are shamed in the song if we don’t view these people as victims of something. The song is ideologically and morally bankrupt but it’s a good means for allowing other losers to nod along approvingly and convince themselves they are virtuous.

Indeed

Tonight, as I was waiting at a red light-I see a homeless man with a sign that read "Needy not Greedy" and to my amazement..one by one, each vehicle began rolling down their windows and started handing this man various items. A donut, cigarettes, cash, a grocery bag with food..and one caring soul even took the coat off his own back, and gave it to this gentleman. It was windy and chilly here in Florida, so I know he really appreciated it. I spotted him a $50, because all of this sudden compassion really restored my faith in humanity. He began to cry, and he reached through the window and hugged me. VERY POWERFUL!..and a clear reminder that if you are in a position to help someone down on their luck, don't think twice. I love this song, because it conveys a clear message-and that message is..that you never know what someone is going through in their personal life, so rather than casting judgement-extend a helping hand.

Thank you Everlast! First heard in 1999 with 16 years old, now I´m 37 and you still kicking! Greatings from Austria.

One of My very favorite songs by Everlast!!! This acoustic version, blows My f n mind! 24 years later, this song is STILL A-Maze-Zing...wow...still more prolific than Most music today... (REALLY)WHAT IT'S LIKE

The DJ is amazing. Great combination with the acoustic guitar

When this came out and blew up the radio airwaves, I was 8 years old. I just liked the nice guitar sounds and melody and catchy tune. As an adult, it hits so much harder. This is one of the best albums of the 90’s hands down.

I still like this guy after 30 years ,like a time capsule

once or twice a week a must ... recognizing the tragedies of life yet somehow offering a ray of hope .................

this song will never get old. So glad that one of my favorite artists from back in the day didnt die before everyone got a taste of his music.

The first of his kind. A rapper who knows how to play a guitar and can sing. This song is EVERLASTing! Now where's the new La Coka Nostra album?

Anyone who says Everlast was a 1 hit wonder obviously never heard of House of Pain nor did they grow up listening to music in the 90’s.

So much soul in this version, mates! Mr. Choc on the 1's & 2's for that hip hop vibe. Beat Junkies represent, represent!

Rapidly becoming the best part of my Fridays. Stop reading, keep listening, genuinely making me want to listen more and more. Gets to that part of you the music really should. Much love.

I remember hearing this song when it first came out. I was a huge House of Pain, Cypress Hill, and Funkdoobiest fan, so I knew all about Everlast. I first heard it in a pub while having lunch. It was just background music, but I knew that voice right away. Immediately after lunch I walked down the street to buy the CD. I was so proud of Everlast for going in a bee direction. You could just tell his music was going in that direction. Love you E.

Here in April 2024, still back there in ‘98. (Erik, if you’re reading this, know that you have a true fan halfway across the world who sings your songs with all his heart)

I love playing this song on bass. Remember this song on mtv and 92.3Krock when I was in middle school.

Everlast. Thank you for. This song !!!! It’s everlasting. 💯

Brings back so many memories, always amazing.

Seen Everlast live back in 93 when he was touring with the Soul Assasins at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago when I was only 16 years old. The Whooligans, Funkdoobiest, House of Pain, and Cypress Hill were on the venue... Everlast booted out the security in front of the stage early on in the set and the place was up for grabs after that... Probably the best $18 I spent as a teenager. 😏

Even more powerful now than the first time I heard it.

A constant classic to be played and remembered forever!!!

Born in 92... imagine a childhood you turned on the radio and songs like this come up! 😍 damn were good times!

The original video left a lasting image that I can never eradicate from my mind every time I hear this timeless classic.

There are so many songs I love, but this is the only song I could say I wish I’d written. Everything about this song takes me back to this album’s release, back when you went out and bought CDs, and I picked this up randomly and was blown away. Been a massive Everlast fan since. The only song that has a feeling anything like this is Iron Sky by Paolo Nutini

Still fire after all these years. I only heard the radio version when this came out, never realized how deep these lyrics actually were.
