I teared up and cried. Whoever doesn't see this mans gift and his message is in need of a checkup. Just sayin. Peace up from da USA. #kenyangirl
I been listening to this since I was 13 years old. Think about my dad and my moms relationship but now I’m 20 years old with a two-year-old son me and his mother aren’t together no more so now I fear for him to listen to this song And think the same way as if I was thinking of my father
"Whiskey in my cup, holding back tears in my eyes. Everyone complaining about their dad. I just wish mine was alive. Don't have many memories but I cherish what I remember. " God, that killed me. 100% relate.
Agreed

Bro, this is deep as shit. Loving this, getting fully to me.
AMAZING!!! ^w^
i cried bkuz my mom had to raise me and my brother by herself and we only see him once or twice a year im more of a father to my little brother than he ever will be... im strong im a man thanks to my mom. i love u mom!
He will be proud of you, he always has mate, stay strong, he is looking down at you thinking what an amazing son he has, a son to be proud of.
"i'm everything that's not you". hits everytime
Every second before 4:12, I was thinking: Man, just go find him and let him know you've done good in life. Then the words "I wish mine was alive." hit me. Hard. I have a dad, he's alive, but he doesn't take care of me. I need to respect what I have.. Resepct to you, Negro True.
Songs about sex money and cars get out on tv , but things that have a meaning and brings tears to your eyes can't ...this guy needs to be recognised big time !
Beautiful. Brilliant. Truthful. Eccentric. Ive got goose bumps
'I don't have one more question, I'm already free. I couldn't give a damn if you're proud of me.' Damn.
Daddy taught you lots..like what not to do ... I am proud of you ! Life is confusing and painful, but strength is all you need

Heard it, it's truly amazing :-)
It's always been me and my mother. I'm 16 I take care of my mother my little brother and my mother by myself my dad hasn't been around since I was born. . . He just left. . . I listen to this everyday. . . It makes me think. . .
Be proud of yourself. You deserve to be darling. A very powerful song just through the lyrics!
It made me cry so hard because that's the question I want to ask my father all the time. I have nothing to be proud of. I wish I was enough once. I wish I could have spend more time with my dad like the other kids.
I listen to this every day, just to hear “are you proud of me”.. my dad died when I was 13. And now I’m a 23 year old alcoholic, trying to sort myself out! This gives me motivation. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Thank you🤝
That's an amazing poem. Well written, and well performed.
The sad part is that it's so many peoples stories. Dads run out. Dads not there. The question I have for any man reading this is, will you be a daddy to your sons and daughters please? Don't leave them hanging. They need your love, and firm foundation that you can give.
This is the truest words I've ever heard... Spoken words like this inspire me. Truly amazing
This hit me so hard. Especially the part about being everything that father wasn't. I rarely cry, but that line did it for me.
My father wasn't a great man.. I always wanted to hear him say he was proud of me. Instead he focused on drugs, alcohol, or if he had enough to buy some cigarettes, even if we were broke. I also just wanted him to be there for me...though I was scared of him. but as time went on I hated him, mother and I left when I was only 11.....I've been begging her to take me since I was 7 ...he died two years later..the year I started to forgive him..
I relate to many different parts of this...17 now, And God knows, I miss him.
I can related
Your dad's looking down at you thinking "Damn.... that is my son." Do the best you can do my dude. Not just for you. Do it for him. Life your life for those who can't. That's not only your father, but also any other people you've lost, the people serving your country. Stay strong dude, he's proud.
Powerful, tears falling down my face, too close to home, it's praying time, we have too take straight to the father in heaven, he the only one who can change our wounded hearts!!!!
the use of emotive language is able to set one into a wave of tears. what i love about the poem is that it a true depiction of the controversies we,men face. till today i wonder if he ever is proud of me
Good lord only a minute and a half into this thing and I'm already bawling like a baby. That's true power.
This isnt just a rap song ..this is beautiful poetry on the struggles of life .....this is truly amazing
I will always cry listening to this. My father was
ive never seen my dad and i often wonder whether i want to meet him but i dont need him because my mums done a brilliant job without him
joshyviner888_ same
You will be a great dad yourself because you know what it feels like not to have your dad there
I can relate because mom wasn't the best about hiding how she felt against dad. I am cursed with his face, his walk, and his compassion. He hurt me. I'm not talking bout words, but with his fist.
Whiskey in my cup holding back tears in my eyes Everyone's complaining about their dad i just wish mine was alive 😢
This is the only thing that gets the emotions my dad taught me to hide out. Because emotions make me weak and I don’t want to disappoint you.
lost my dad at the age of 11... you never appreciate something until you lose it..
This is beautiful, I am a mother & I cry for my sons everyday. Knowing how it feels not to have a family & a father, it hurts! 3 & 2 and their fathers don't realize the damage already.
Let me all share this with you: I was 12, nearly 13 when my dad left me for good, gone, poof into heaven with the rest of my family. I'm currently 15 and it's been one of the most difficult times to get through. My dad was my role model, I always told him, if I ended up being just like him in the future I know I'll be amazing. He was the best friend I could ever have and the fact that he is gone makes my life a living hell, he's always watching, I know, but I really do wish he could be cuddling me when I've had fights with my boyfriend or friends. Every single day on the way home from school, I sit by his grave and tell him how my days been, etc..but for me, it's not enough, but it'll do, it has to. I miss my Father in words that I cannot explain.
For me it's more like "Mummy Are You Proud Of Me?" I don't think I care so much that my dad's not around
Same 😪

You cant miss what you never had
Same my dad left when I was 3 and my brother 1
Im in tears right now because this is so true, true feelings, true emotions, true story
Real Words,true emotions caused me to literally feel the way i feel right now and now im in tears from hearing this. It really does matter when you've went through this and figure out your not the only one.
i always come back to this poem.... it brings tears remembering my own life.
I Feel Every word you spoke.. I never met my dad he died before I could say daddy. Its Sad & Brings Me So Much Pain That I Never Got To Experience The Man That Created Me. Every Day I Feel As Though Something Is Missing In My Life & Its A Heartache Nobody Can Heal :( Thanks For The Words .
Our fathers give us identity. Before jesus started his ministry on earth god said this is my son whom I am well pleased

Now this is from the heart. I can tell you wrote this from the heart and with soul from the power you had in those words! This is amazing, you dont understand how many people you have touched with this... Respect mate!
I'm only a young ambitious girl. Fatherless is what I call myself. Met my father once or twice. I relate to this a Lil to much.
I really do not know why, but I'm crying. This is a great piece of poetry.
Every word of this poem makes me think of me and my mom's relationship... And I'm 15.
This is.....deep I LOVED IT!!!! My dad isn't dead but I don't see him anymore, my stepdad has always been there and raised me.....this was amazing well done
Excellent poem. What a way to express one's self
I generally thought I was the only one who felt this way omg brought tears to my eyes
When you can listen to someobodies story and relate to every word.. Brought tears to my eyes but made me think about my situation in a different way. That's a gift. Thank you sir
Idk why 39 people don't like this...this is incredible
I've never met my dad so hearing this made me cry... My mom has always tried to be both parents for me but I've never actually had a father figure and because of that I push every guy away from me... I only do that because I'm scared of becoming attached to someone, you never know when they could leave you...
I'm in tears... this is real poetry.
Ima female and thiss touched me so deeply . .
My dad was never there so this made me cry I'm 15 years old and never had my dad around so this is my story of life I swear :/
My father died when I was 7, this brought tears to my eyes. Stunning.
How many times did you have to watch this b4 starting to cry? As a poet and as a person who has gone through family troubles all i can say is this is amazing

Hey Guys, NEW VIDEO On My Channel
'Don't Lose Her Trying To Keep Her'
Give it a listen, thumbs up and share please, Thank You
this hit me really hard because My dad died when I was 4 and a half and left my mum with 7 kids and struggling to keep us alive since we're pretty poor. My older siblings tell me that he wasn't around much and he use to be violent to our family. and now here I am doing my year 11 and working 2 jobs to help my mum out but still I go to his grave and ask if he's proud of me because I'm trying to be everything he wasn't which is....
here.
I understand your pain as I have had dissapointment with fathers in my life but God is my Father now. He is all I need and the father I've always wanted. I pray you give it all to Jesus. He loves you more than any father on earth can. Be blessed in Jesus Name.
the best thing about this video is the emotion in him!
Do you expect me to have so many tears in my eyes! C'mon Nego you are seriously you are blessed as you dared to say this. I'd split into two cause I would had started crying in the middle. I love you papa. You are the best and I miss you so much. My king!!!
Everything you say is applicable to my life right now. I dislike the reminder, but love the thought that others are going through exactly the same thing. I too am writing these things down. Perhaps not in a poem such as yours, but in a way to later on explain this. To show people what depression and hatred really is. To show that THIS issue needs to be adressed far more than it is. Nego True, I appreciate this video. Sincerely. It's really awesome to see this, and congratulations on taking the step up here, I still have some strength to gather before I can do such a thing.
"Respect and fear aren't the same thing..."
I understand completely. My dad, is like the man he talks about. Thank you for bring my emotions into my words!
listening to this coral word makes me shed tears down my cheeks trying to wonder how the world is. so hurting that a dont remember when a last had a meal with ma dad when is the last time that he said he loves me. am even forgettin his face trying absorb ma fate and forgetting who he is despite a know what his name is. till this juncture that av started being independent wanna ask him this
DADDY ARE U PROUD OF ME
i cried towards the end because I always get mad at my dad for not being there but I always forget the other people who don't even know what there dad was like because their dads dead...so it makes me think before I speak, ans speak before I hate when I think.
literally cannot find the words to express my love and admiration for this
Hearing someone speak about what you feel and go through brings out emotions you've tried to hide I # Respect you
No music has ever made me feel so emotional and bring a tear to my eye, this is art and so inspirational
I know i don't know you but i'm proud of you for this...our paths and thoughts are same. I feel your pain. Salute
This made me cry and relase some of my pressure, I have been having heart problems lately from all the stress, this has helped me some and you might have just saved my life by helping me relase, I just wanted to say thank you.
Man this really shows my life too and I ask myself why I couldn't have a dad.
So moving, incredibly written and inspiring. Good on you mate

Truth! Could not have been said any better
ive never met my father but this gets to me
I'm sitting here in tears. That was Very. Very. touching, and very relatable from every angle.
your words really got me..My father is there but not really there. I thank you for this. I ask questions all the time and I really related to to the girl's story. Thankyou
So relatable, in tears 😭
The thing he said when he say that he is everything his father is not is pretty much exactly what I've said in the past :c
Honestly. I have never found something like this, this explains exactly how I feel. This is perfect.
I had to stand up and clap after that. Powerful stuff
There's a difference of spending money then spending time😕👌💯💯💟🎧
There's a difference between fear and respect
I can barely hold back the tears in my eyes as I listen to this video
You have no idea how much I relate to this.
Would of been nice if the rare times I saw my dad were spent being genuinely proud of me instead of being disappointed. Don't know if it's because I'm angry with him because he left or because he acted like I wasn't his own kid, but I wouldn't give a damn anymore if he's proud of me.
deep my brotha i can relate but at less ur daddy is gone mine is still alive and for 30 years he never said hi i speak to my step brothas and sistas always but he never cares now that is some shit for real, but no1 is real but the creator, it is all a test this life so keep ya head up and keep the creator first and u will never fail, bigups to all my uk fam, 1 love A.i 38 years old now, nyc
Yo, I feel you. I was going through the same thing with my Pops. But, what I learned is that hurting people hurt people. Even when it hurts, choose to love him.

You performed this at my school 2 years ago and I feel the same as I did when first heard this. Beautiful message.
This made me cry it hit home in so many ways
I was introduced to you through Suli Breaks, who was my first inspiration into spoken word. I watch hunger almost every day and that pushed me to write my first piece. It hadn't been recorded yet, but it's finished, and thank you for the great poetry that you've introduced to the world.
Wow....Story of my life.
That last one literally made me cry...
