My dad was an alcoholic when i was a kid, this video hits me hard because i know how it feels to have nothing, but to learn that the past is the past and you have to move on no matter how hard it is, my dad has been sober for 4 years now, the memories hurt, but i forgive him. I love you dad
I think one of the hardest things in life is wanting to have a loud voice or more importantly, wanting that voice to be heard. We're all so caught up in our lives. Please take a second to realize the people that surround you... Sometimes, they need you and sometimes... you can save their lives.
One day I was home after work and custody issues were taking a whole toll. I fell apart. This came on I knew i listened cuz it was Classified. I was so mixed raw emotions and I fell the floor on my knees in my empty home. I KNEW then it wasn't gonna be easy... i just listened. I felt too many things about the situations. How was i ever gonna live...the balls to walls is litereally what i applied. So that's what I did that year forward. Just apply and move ..do it until your body hurts. Research. Live. Everything happens once. Not twice, i lived, and learned this with my parental custody battle.. the courts dates, lawyers,middle officials, and my houses, cars,..jobs. work..professionalism...like i not okay..i couldnt really have any thought. I felt broken..this brought my seconds back made me pause.. I litereally switched my mindset. I felt alot of work I had done...I hadn't known then It was gonna be another 6 more long years....I realised this day gotta really stop.. my day was way too much. I was relieved to hear this ..I just bawled like a freak of nature. That was only the half way point.. glad to share I now won. Who knew then.. glad i never ever gave up. Thanks
My dad died due to complications from alcoholism which is why I'm sober today. I can relate to this song so much. I can't even begin to thank my dad enough for setting an example for me. Love you dad miss you
I am so sorry about your Dad. And be proud of yourself every single day for being sober. I have unfortunately lost way too many people to addiction..and being an admyself (now sober), I know what a hard walk it is. So keep going strong.
I recently lost my grandpa due to cancer and my dad hasn’t been handling it well since he’s an alcoholic but this song has been in my life since my uncle introduced classified to us and my grandpa liked the meaning in this song and every time I listen to this again,it brings me back to when we would listen to this song while going on a drive while the sun was setting. I thank you class for making this music to help me keep going ❤️
As someone whose faced a lot of adversities in life, this song has always spoke to me. I love to listen to it whenever I feel myself getting angry and dwelling on something bad that has happened. When you’ve had a lot of shitty things happen that weren’t within your control it’s easy to feel angry, bitter and get caught up in a victim mentality but this song is a reminder that sometimes you just need to roll with punches and forgive yourself and others even when it’s difficult. We can’t always control what happens to us but we can control how we react and whether we choose to dwell on adversities or grow from them. This song touches on the fact that when “the sun is setting” you can either look back on your life with anger and regret or you can look back on your life and say I made the best life I could with the hand I was dealt. So to everyone out there going through something tough think of this song and think about how you want to feel when your “sun is setting” do you want to be angry/bitter or do want to be happy that you made the best of the situation you were given? I don’t know why I just went on that huge rant.. but I hope it helps someone!
Still one of the hardest hitting Class songs out there. Not enough attention being given to this man's body of work despite the level of talent possessed.
I still remember the first time I seen this video and felt like I had a connection with it, yet I was still so young. Odd feeling that I still think about to this day, growing into a kind young man, trying my best each day. Hope you all are too!
Classified: The only rappers that don't brag in their songs. The only real rappers that create songs with deeper meanings. Because of this, they have my respect.
Desiree Sun to be truthful Macklemore cashed in on a subject thats hot and made a lot of money from( I Hope he gave the proceeds of that songt to progressing knowledge not of just the gay awareness but a general acceptance of difference. I gots mad respect for his song and his influence that he got from I guess his gay uncle, but to say he conscience or even on the same standing as class is misconstrued as being hip hop when it really isn't. Macklemore is hip pop. and there aint nothing wrong with that. good music is just that.
3:18 The Danforth. Born and raised in this area and we look out for each other. Huge shout out to Square Boy, Greektown! Love this area and even if I move, my heart will always be here.
Just discovered Classified today. Gotta love this guys style! I am 44yrs old and this reminds me of the positive Hip Hop message from back in the days.
Classified is one of the most underated, true/real artists ive ever heard. Notice how he doesnt rap about money, sex and how many bitches he gets? But yet he goes hard, and has great raps about things that actually matter. Stay classy Classified.
Class was one of the best live acts (Evolve festival, Nova Scotia) I have ever seen in my life. Love you, Class. Peace and love from a fellow Canuck in China.
24 now and I'm still here. I'm dad now. My baby brother has his own house now. I'm moving to a whole new province in Nov. Crazy how time flies. I miss everything.
You know, my parents are always saying that Rap/Hip-hop is worthless as a music or art-form, but every now and then, I like to prove them wrong, and this video is one of them, showed it to my mom and it moved her to tears. Damn good Work Class, drop by Lethbridge AB again, missed you when you were at the Blarney Stone last year.
I remeber when this first game out. I loved it then. Even tho I changed as a person it still holds its meaning. Such a strong song. Thx classified. You mad underrated
i found this song, early in the morning on november 1st. by the end of the day, my closest cousin to me in age was dead. I am incredibly thankful to have this song around right now. Thank you Class, You're amazing and i love you and everything you stand for.
The feeling of running away from an abusive home, only for it to get dark outside, all your friends have gone home and you have nowhere else to go, so you stare at the front door you tried so hard to run away from. Knowing you're about to face your consequences from the monster that dwells inside. I don't know how this director caught that feeling, but i know it very well.
Both my parents drank... lost their lives to cancer, me and my brother drink heavily and hardly keep in touch... this video makes me want to change things
Man I totally forgot about this song, literally went and found my old Apple ID and this was on my old purchases. So buying an iPhone after so many years of android brought me back here.
My dad, drunk, left death threat on an answering machine after my mom left him. When he learned what he did after he received a court letter, he couldn't stand it. Sadly, his decision wasn't to stop drinking. He thought we hated him. It's a shame he has never listened to us. Life went fast for me after his decision. I made mistakes, kept trying to stay afloat. Now my biggest regret is he'll never see my 4 kids.
That's a sad situation but everything in going to be alright. My girlfriend always tells me that. She's right even though I don't always see it that way. This is just a game. Life never stops.
Hearing this song, with three kids under 13, is what made me want to be a better father for them, and shortly after lead to me giving up booze. Mad respect to all out there. “Stay Classy”🤟🏻
It's sad that even in Nova Scotia they never play anything good like this on the radio, just the same 20 classic rock songs and the same pop songs all day every day.
I am so happy that I finally found this video. Always loved this song, and the song for the credits is fucking PERFECT. I wish so much that Class gets more recognition. Whenever I want to feel a wave of nostalgia I can turn on some Classified I'm gooood.
Coming back to this song and video brings back memories of a year ago. things change but the great part about music is it'll always be waiting for you to come back. Very simple but powerful and artistic song as well as a video.
Everyone is fighting a battle. We are all trying hard to keep our head up. Remember that when you get mad at someone. They are probably going through some shit, and you maybe overreacted because you are going through some shit. Forgive. Forget. That's a lesson we haven't learned yet.
Classified has always been real and stayed real. Years passed, he still does his best. You can tell he really loves Hip-Hop. I'm glad there still artists out there still being real. I'm glad I'm from Nova Scoita too. One Love for Class!
There is a youtuber called Dan Bull, he does a lot of raps about games but some of his best work is the songs he makes about life, and politics which has nothing to do with games. give it a shot. th-cam.com/video/V9EbQcIvVqE/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/VEvfhAdq_-I/w-d-xo.html
The most unrated song in history, class is the best man, I got so much respect for this dude, hope you see this, and hopefully come back to capebreton sydney man !!
this guy won't make it HUGE he don't rap about killing about each other ,guns , and money . this guy sings about his life good job bro I listen to all his tunes I tell all my friends about him so maybe someday he will be big
My home town. Classifies got me through my house burning down, a pandemic, abuse from my MIL, and so much more. I’m not quite on the other side, but I’m starting to be.
This is only the second video I've watched by this guy and I've already decided to recommend him to everyone...I'm live in America too, I could give a shit where people are from, I recognize talent.
this song made me think long and hard and even made me cry abit but im glad i did cause i finally forgave my dad for leaving me forever and never saying good bye :) R.I.P DAD!
great song. I get shivers every time I watch it, both because of the song itself and the moving video. i doubt classified reads this stuff, but keep it up man

Just saw how long ago you wrote this comment, & don’t know if you’ll even see mine now, but praying your dad is now 16 years sober 🙏.
Hope things are better now brother

This track did the same for me, same with no mistakes and all about you. Class really got me out of some hard times.
Very good comment man agree 100%
Classified: The only rappers that don't brag in their songs. The only real rappers that create songs with deeper meanings. Because of this, they have my respect.
Don't forget Shad. :]
Macklemore too ^-^ People like Classified deserve respect for standing up.
Desiree Sun to be truthful Macklemore cashed in on a subject thats hot and made a lot of money from( I Hope he gave the proceeds of that songt to progressing knowledge not of just the gay awareness but a general acceptance of difference.

Desiree Sun HA thrift shop has deep meaning???
Billy Bob Are you stupid?? Macklemore isn't just all about "Thrift shop" -.-
This song makes me cry every time. Definitely a childhood song.
When I saw childhood and edited I knew something was off. Glad to see that you agree.

Always come back to this song when things get rough, only 22 now but life has taken its toll. This song always inspires me to keep pushing through.
24 now and I'm still here. I'm dad now. My baby brother has his own house now. I'm moving to a whole new province in Nov. Crazy how time flies. I miss everything.
You know, my parents are always saying that Rap/Hip-hop is worthless as a music or art-form, but every now and then, I like to prove them wrong, and this video is one of them, showed it to my mom and it moved her to tears.

Knowing you're about to face your consequences from the monster that dwells inside. I don't know how this director caught that feeling, but i know it very well.
I alwayz listen to this when lifes got me down
amen!
I feel ya!
yes
Lifes got me hella down right now ):
preach brother
Both my parents drank... lost their lives to cancer, me and my brother drink heavily and hardly keep in touch... this video makes me want to change things
That’s so sad.
You have the chance to change everyday.keep your head up and Don’t lose sight of the light 🙏🏼
Man I totally forgot about this song, literally went and found my old Apple ID and this was on my old purchases. So buying an iPhone after so many years of android brought me back here.
I am soooo crying...thank you guys for being so human...Jack Higgins you were the best father. R.I.P. Love to everyone!
love class, this song is timeless :)
i know me to this is my fav song
Classified, you are a shining example of Canada's quality, homegrown talent. Goes well with our quality, homegrown...stuff. Regards, man.
Love this song ...Still hits hella deep
Was stopped at a red light today with the window down and this guy pulls next to me with this playing. Thanks buddy!
My dad, drunk, left death threat on an answering machine after my mom left him. When he learned what he did after he received a court letter, he couldn't stand it. Sadly, his decision wasn't to stop drinking. He thought we hated him. It's a shame he has never listened to us.
Life went fast for me after his decision. I made mistakes, kept trying to stay afloat. Now my biggest regret is he'll never see my 4 kids.
That's a sad situation but everything in going to be alright. My girlfriend always tells me that. She's right even though I don't always see it that way. This is just a game. Life never stops.
I'm 15 years old, and its so hard not to cry watching this video, reminds me of my dad. I miss him alot. R.I.P. :'(
I lived in that neighborhood when I was little, and I remember that same house and that convenience store
is this in Toronto?
yes
Britany Cheung ayy
Where is it specifically I would like to see it
It would be cool to the location of a set
252 Westlake Ave :)
Hearing this song, with three kids under 13, is what made me want to be a better father for them, and shortly after lead to me giving up booze.
Mad respect to all out there. “Stay Classy”🤟🏻
The lyrics paint a picture. And the video says things words can’t
Always dug that he gives forgiveness at the end & doesn't go down the drinking path, ends up happy.
We got this shit boys.
It's sad that even in Nova Scotia they never play anything good like this on the radio, just the same 20 classic rock songs and the same pop songs all day every day.
A Veteran from Nova Scotia takes care of me, my sister, Angels come in many skin's. Love and Light 💖🙏
(Cough) Money… City…
havent heard this in 6 years or so... still makin me cry and now i have a huge head ache...
This song helped me forgive my ex-wife. My life has been so much better since I told her I forgive her (although I won't forget).
Its really a shame these videos dont have more views, a decade later the message is still relevant.
Just came back myself. Frisson to the max.
Deserves more than just 1.4 million views...
2.18 million?
I am so happy that I finally found this video. Always loved this song, and the song for the credits is fucking PERFECT. I wish so much that Class gets more recognition. Whenever I want to feel a wave of nostalgia I can turn on some Classified I'm gooood.
Forgive, forget that's a lesson that we haven't learned yet
classified is on of the few remaining hip hop artists that spit lyrics that actually have meaning
This explains my entire life
The people who disliked this does not know what a hard child hood is. ;(
watching this for the first time since 4 years ago...whos cutting the onions?
Coming back to this song and video brings back memories of a year ago. things change but the great part about music is it'll always be waiting for you to come back. Very simple but powerful and artistic song as well as a video.
Its a shame there is no "love" button.
Always find myself coming back to this song when life gets too tough
This guy should get more subs!
Everyone is fighting a battle. We are all trying hard to keep our head up. Remember that when you get mad at someone. They are probably going through some shit, and you maybe overreacted because you are going through some shit. Forgive. Forget. That's a lesson we haven't learned yet.
June 2018 still a great song
The song at the end is " Young Soul " just in case anyone was wondering :)
Wow classified. Right in the feels
Classified has always been real and stayed real. Years passed, he still does his best. You can tell he really loves Hip-Hop. I'm glad there still artists out there still being real. I'm glad I'm from Nova Scoita too. One Love for Class!
Classified is classic
Listened to Classified for the first time of my life, like three weeks ago. Listened to him every day since.
Props from Sweden!
Why don't they ever play this REAL music on the radio! I am so tired of hearing Katy perry and Ariana grande and all those other untalented musicians!
BigTOBaller fuck right NG
there is an agenda the elite want us to pander to. I'm sure you can figure it out.
wouldn't call them untalented they are talented but so is he
Keep this good shit to yourself
They’re Talented. I use to hate them too back then. But they’re not that bad now.
When your down, you got to turn to this song, it makes you feel like someone understand you.
classified s probably the only person I know that actually talks about life and not money and woman like if you agree
There is a youtuber called Dan Bull, he does a lot of raps about games but some of his best work is the songs he makes about life, and politics which has nothing to do with games. give it a shot.
th-cam.com/video/V9EbQcIvVqE/w-d-xo.html

I can think of a ton in Rhymesayers
Keep this master piece of a song and keep it on the DL. Whoever can't understand music like this don't understand life. This song is soooooo good!

This song reminds me of my father he just passed away suffered from alcohol addiction and this song make me forgive and forget

Wow. Got chills from the video. I really appreciate tha jammz. Nothing like tunes that moves the soul.
CLass is a great artist have been listening to him for about 6 years now...Muc love from Colorado man keep doin what you do.

man, instant throwback
This is only the second video I've watched by this guy and I've already decided to recommend him to everyone...I'm live in America too, I could give a shit where people are from, I recognize talent.
Classified has always stayed true to his roots
I'm going to start playing your music while I clean parks. Nice stuff man.
Love your Detroit HAT Phil!!!! Born there!!! LOVE LOVE!!! ♥♥♥

His music is so good I'm glad I found his music nuf luv coming from the UK
class is the man, unbelievable how far hes gotten. I'm from Nova Scotia and its sick what hes achieved.

He will be in Pembroke On Canada in a few weeks im pumped up for it Classified is amazing i have been fan of his for many years
Why the hell isn't this song on SPOTIFY? The day does die without this song. Give it to me on spotify.
