He got off on this joint

Thanks #RaphaelSaddiq for putting pen/pencil to paper and writing words my soul could not say. Also helping me see life from the eyes of those infected by vices. You pulled off the blinders and I took a walk in their shoes.🧐

Hopefully, families/individuals left behind suffering from the mental, physical and emotional scars caused by "the broken & lost ones" can release the deep hurt, pain and heal. Eventually forgiving, not for them but for you.💔👶🏾🧒🏾👧🏾👨🏾👩🏾🧔🏾🧓🏾👴🏾👵🏾😢✨💌

"This World is Drunk and The People are Mad"😵😱😡 Why? 🤷🏾‍♀️Reasons to numerous and some factors are just beyond me too understand. This soundtrack has touched on every aspect of those afflicted by substance abuse, as well as the results. This has helped me! I'm releasing & moving forward. Music indeed is a healer. 😢🕯️🙏🏾💆🏾‍♀️🌅 Peace!💜 🎶🎶🎶🎵🎵🎵💖

Content. Yes. What so many artists are missing now. Love this

🍷🍻🍺🍾🍹 "Fall down drunk and rise no more..."🥂🤔

Get high and listen to the whole album ..thank me later

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The transition from this to Something Keeps Calling on the album is sensational. Can't wait to see Raphael in Paris in 13 days.

Ryūichi Sakamoto vibes in piano. This could play in a Miyazaki film.

super kawalek

Can't stop playing this song..its stupid love it

Wonder why can't my local radio station can't play music like this.

NPR brought me here.....such a good song....the sound, the lyrics, everything.

Smooth!!!

THAT BASSLINE REMINDS ME OF THE MONSTER MASH..

your music means a lot to me

❤️❤️❤️ !!!

Love the delicate piano!

Yes👍🏾 just perfect for this song

I'm speechless.

Raphael please keep making music!!! I love your voice and you’re a amazing, very talented writer too.. with you we get the best of both!!! Keep on until you can’t give us anymore. I love you, the world loves you

Berlin......bester staff!!! Sehr gut! Weiter so, wie es sich heute anhört und anfühlt.😘🤪🤙

Klasa jak zawsze

Luv this song just played 5 times straight doing my mourning push ups!

I've missed you man from the Q-Tip years. Glad to have you back x

Go Raphael gooooo !!!

reminds me of some prince...abstract and forces you to listen to the music...saadiq has always showed his versatility no matter what style of music he produces...hey lil walter, leaving here, blind man, just to name a few...

Smooth as they come..too dope..effortless

Got that right Raphael 💯💯💯❤️❤️

Touched the soul with a message that will make you rewind to hear again and again. Thank you...

This song is real & so touching it brings tears to my eyes. 💯

True indeed. I feel like he's singing about me.

Addiction is a monster

He's always in three places
Spaces undefined
Heart is always racin'
For something he will never find
Eyes are black
Black and cold
His soul has been shaken
So shaken
I believe he knows
The sun could never reach him
The view looks like a bomb
The paradox is far away
His brain weighs at least a ton
His mind is so stressed out
Tryin' to be a king
When everyone around him
Sees the clown and
They're laughing at him
Look at this idiot
Don't know he's been set up to fall
Can't find the truth in any friend
And all he ever does is want drugs

[Chorus]
This world is drunk
And the people are mad
This world is drunk
And the people are mad
This world is drunk, ooh
This world is drunk and
This world is drunk and the people are mad

Verse 2]
He doesn't get a listen
Not even to himself
He spent 4 years away
Was led astray
Convicted for fraud
He said he knows more now
Now that he returned
The books that he read there
Told him he had gone too far
He's always feeling left out
And he always left his friends out
He never understood why
That most of his friends are just bums
He's tryna live better now
He says he needs that family life
He can tell he wasted much time
Winter time has taken his life
And making him miserable
He never feels he's in control
He finds it hard to walk away
So all he ever does is stay drunk

[Chorus]
This world is drunk
And the people are mad
So mad
This world is drunk
And the people are mad
So mad
This world is drunk, ooh
This world is drunk
So drunk
This world is drunk
And the people are mad

Thanks he killed that

👏🏾🥁🎹🎶🎶🎶🎵🎵🎵💖🔥

This is Outkast level amazing music. I hope Andre hears this.

Omg this song is definitely hitting the best by far but this whole cd is slamming! Raphael my Dude! Has to be one of the most talented artist left.

Favorite song off the album!!

Me too!!

This song is deep.

Hello Raphael saadiq my parents are in the group The Cotton pearls! Do you remember them??

Did we expect any less? Dopeness💪🏾

This WORLD is DRUNK...Drunk wit confusion...

That 1st. Song i heard, Calling Me, i got mad because it reminded me of how our communities were infiltrated with "crack", thought about how bad it got, and how now pills are called an "epidemic!" So i deleted Raphael Saddiq yputube channel, then i went back and listened to this and "Rikers Island". He's still a GENUIS AND HIS MUSIC IS ALWAYS OUTSTANDING!! ENOUGH SAID👍 HE IS 👑 and now back to the musical feature!😄👏👏👏👏

🔥love it....on repeat

Fo’real tho this world is drunk 🤭

Soo nice i had 2 roc that twice..All i can say is damn..U never cease 2 inspire the hell outta me..Peaceyaself

Thank you Mr. Saadiq you keep inspiring us with your music and true to life lyrics!

Beautiful, poignant, on time. Same sweet soulful voice..💕

👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

The twang in his voice never lets me down!! Thank you sir!! True talent!!!!

The six people that don't like this song are the ones who are drunk...

funk69ful lol...You are so right..lol 😂😂😂

Wow... This truth

sounds like Prince! the rest of the tracks are below average though, hate to say it believe me!!!

Good song this guy always sings with a message,a true great musical talent release this song!

What a lot of people don't know Raphael saadiq is from Oakland California 77 greenside

❤❤❤❤

Do I hear hints of Sly and the Family Stone? Love it!!

Saadiq, love you brotha...👊🏾✊🏾✌🏾🚀

beats been cold, hard, dry. let's get back to some deep grove shit. ✌

Music with message is the best music...(OLD SCHOOL ERA)

Compton june Indeed!

Preach, Raphael...... we need this message!

So many drunk people in the world. This song kinda makes me sad for the character in the song. I wonder what or whom was the inspired the lyrics?

Pundi Paradox he said the entire cd was based on his brother who was an addict.

@E P I actually peeped that after listen to the cd a few times and catching the lyrics to a few songs over the weekend. I totally get the mood of the cd now.

Thanxs for responding...

Brilliant.
I hear hints of David Bowie...

Loooooooove this song... my fav

Hi Raphael! This song must be a single! It's great and it reminds me so much of Prince! I don't know if it was deliberate, but it is also a very nice tribute to him...Peace!

My thoughts as well!!! Raphael keep it cominG!!!!! your making alot of ears smiling!!

I agree - but the first single from the "Jimmy Lee" CD should be "So Ready." But this would be a great follow-up!

I love the story telling.

The irony/paradox  in ..Provocative Original Flava..not being a surprise at all..Pleasantly!WELL DONE Saadiq !!!!!   WELL DONE BROTHA!!!!

Wouaw!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Oh I love this! I can't think of a single song or album that's dropped in YEARS that has had me swayin from the first time I'm hearing it. New Amerykah might have been the last one. I'm so excited to own this. To actually play an album on repeat cause I'm so in love with it's sound. 510 baby ✊🏾

So so true, the people are lost, mad ,crazy, stupid ,in don't know how to love!!!!!!
