Hi Steemers,

Would love to know what you think of my new music video US AGAINST THE WORLD ft Celeste. I am the artist, NISH - rapper, songwriter and videographer. I directed and edited the video. The song features British singer, Celeste. Her voice is magnetic - soothing and inspiring. Her background is unique, growing up in both Trinidad and London, England and the daughter of an accomplished painter from the UK.

This video was shot in Trinidad & Tobago, a small twin island state in the Southern Caribbean - in the heart of its capital city, Port-of-Spain. The video captures the city's people in their elements, the innocence of youth and the hope of the artists to inspire them. It is a visual representation of the message in the song. And this stresses the importance of the message, which is to inspire the youth - especially the disadvantaged ones, who face challenges that even some adults never encounter. I've included the song's lyrics below also.

Comment below!!! Let me know what you think.

SONG LYRICS

Intro:
We all have choice. But we don't all have vision
(It's for you to decide)
Takes heart to be a leader. (Go get what you want)
Never follow a soul.
(For the youth)

Verse 1:
Chemical combination, Genetical domination
Where knowledge and education collide with imagination
Increasing your fascination could lead to emancipation
I'm calculating the future with psychic evaluation
My life is like an equation, Holy occupation
Flow too deep for your level of conversation
Higher mental elevation way beyond the constellation
Molecular persuasion for your mind in deprivation
Information is the key, stay wise and get your weight up
No mercy for the poor incarcerated by the Maker
I'm bout plenty paper taking trips to Jamaica
Words lacerate a hater, blood dripping from my razor sharp
Slash through, witch niccas never had a heart
Dusting the ash off the suede of my Wallaby Clarks
Brother with class, liquor still in my glass
I'm living fast in the moment, but I'm making it last
For the future...

Hook:
Feel like you're the only one
The only one who could save this world
Hey, young world. It's your world
Know your life has just begun
(Be strong. Gotta get yours and stay fly)
I guess it's just us against the world
Hey Young world. It's our world

Verse 2:
Wanna make it to the top son you gotta be clever
Never say never. Make a change for the better
If niccas wanna hate on the flow, yo whatever
Us against the world kid, you and I together
I could be your guide to make it through the stormy weather
We all gotta die, wish that we could live forever
Life without an end was probably way too much to measure
So we sever heavy ties in a world full of pleasure
Addict for the pain but a slave to the cheddar
I'm caught up in the game fully focused on my treasure
Eyes on the prize even though we under pressure
Take a look at the world kid, I ain't gotta lecture
It's a war on the streets, a war with the beast
A war with police and a war in the Middle East
It's a war with yourself in this life we neglect
A war for the future but I'll fight to the death

Hook

Verse 3:
Similar to the passion of an addict I satisfy my habit
And anything I wanted in this world I could have it
Visions of living lavish not affected by the havoc
I'm lyrically charismatic bout to hit you with a classic
Poetry of a thug written in blood
Yea them people used to hate me now they showing me love
Pray to God put my faith in the Heavens above
This for my niccas in the street still embezzling drugs
Like the feeling what you get when your enemy dies
See the vengeance and the lies over power the cries
Dry tears no remorse hate deceit in your eyes
See the fuel for the fire for the one that you despise
Now a hundred thousand haters illustrating my demise
No surprise, even though you want me dead I'm alive
I survive and I made it through these darker times
Won't stop little nicca til this world is mine

Hook

Concluding Bridge:
Nothing will ever be the same
Or so they claim
But we can be the change
We wish to see

Someday we will find a way
To make a change
Or so they say
