When both your parents tell you they hated the day you were born, then you grow up and raise a healthy and happy son who knows nothing of abuse, you won... I...WIN!
That's right, you won. Never forget that. You were greater than those who came before you. Thank you for that because in a way, you're a part of how I was raised.
This made me cry. I can't imagine that pain, but I sense the power in your words. You have a message of overcoming and hope. Please share that with others. Your life will save others.

Amen, i often tell other Mom's they should be GRATEFUL Dad is in picture bc my kids dad NEVER TRIED!!! Be GRATEFUL for whatever HELP You Get Bc it could be NOTHING AT ALL

This is his best album and work to me. So much emotion and reality in his art and words !!!! Cristian Scott Dunham this song is for you especially the last verse son.
agree please do not judge me but I felt the same way like this song described but now I am a full-time single father and my daughter is 7 years old today. I can just imagine what abortion would have done to my life because of my daughter I am a changed man...
I'm a 37 years old man with kids and I'm just learned of Joyner Lucas after I saw "I'm not Racist" two days ago and I'm line this dude can't be real in these days and times of garbage music, he is different and make all the sense kn the world. Damn dude you are good.
that aint new.... mainstream just tryna get rid of it... but joyners talent is unprecedented for sure. glad hes bringing meaning back to bars, and especially glad hes from my city
RebugClxtches yea his shit deep but he doesn’t cuss and he comes off as real gospely to me. I stick to phora and Joyner. That’s just my opinion though.
@@mickey_mess8747 i know how that is been there myself but i wasn't going to let that make me walk away from my son like he did on me thats what makes me a better man than him.
People dislike it because its not about hoes, drugs and money. Badass cars, big houses and jewelry. This man speaks about real life events and speaks about his feelings and shit. Joyner keep doing what your doing bro some of us actually listen and we hear you!
I'm usually not a rap fan because of those mentioned topics..............Thought that was what it was all about. I was terribly mistaken @_@ From Metalhead to I am exploring a lot of music now. lol Still love my metal tho
you forgot about the people that only listen to music for the beat that hate this type of rap because of it not having a beat so loud you cant hear the words
Well, Eminem featured him and now he's got the recognition he deserves. I'm not sure how many views this had 2 months ago, but it's near 10 million now.
Shit hits home for me. I wanted the same thing when my ex told me she was pregnant. Glad she kept it bcuz now i have a daughter who is my everything. Hope she remembers who i am when she gets older.
Solo same g she not letting me see her right now....funny shit is she left me. Smh. Stay up g . *update she finally stopped with the revenge bs, getting to see my lil girl now more! Stay up fellas and be smart and try not to b emotional, shit gets hard when it comes down to our seeds.
Solo no matter what just do all you kan too b thare. Kuz in the end tht will b tha qwestion asked.. Im a father of two and am blessed too b thare for mine as they r for havin me as a father.
Kay and Lay listen to "Ross Capichioni" (Idk if i spelled that right) that was the first song I heard by him that was a couple years ago I've been a fan ever since.
You know what, it's weird hearing a rapper who is just saying one phrase and calling it a song and then adding some beat. It's nice to hear someone who out puts there thoughts and feeling into a song and gives it there all, and for that, I very much respect you for that!
This is EXACTLY what I went through 5 years ago. My son is 4 now and I cannot explain the love one can have for their child. This song made me tear up with how accurate it was. I ended up getting out of the Army the week before he was born and was homeless 6 months later because of his mom's greed. Yes, it has gotten better, and yes we still go though it...BUT, he is fully worth it. Just damn, thank you Joyner Lucas.
thank you for your service idk how anyone could do that to someone especially if theyre doing something to help them in the future plus you guys loved each other
You can't compare one man's originality and unique style to another it just takes away from one or the other Joyner Lucas is on some real life issues what rap is supposed to be thankyou Joyner Lucas
3:13 "I can't believe I tried to hurt you, I hope you forgive me." I love that. That is *deeply* personal and that's the type of emotional depth and vulnerability music is missing nowadays. Artists make "emotional" music all the time but they don't bare their soul. This man made his guilt and anguish over almost aborting his son into a song for millions to listen to. That takes balls. Asking for forgiveness. That takes balls and is very vulnerable. I respect that.
Being a dad is the best and most important job you'll ever have. Let it become your whole life. Let it consume you entirely. This is your life's purpose. Lean into it.
It truly is. I fucked up lots in my life. but being a dad is my second chance. I truly do love him more than I love myself. walking him to Kindergarten every morning is better than any night staying out late partying in my twenties.
I thank God for my daughter. I'm a single father.....Having a daughter saved my life it also slowed me down and bettered me as a man. If it was not for her and God no telling what or where I would be now.
He takes every day life stories, topics and tragedies and creates the visual through rap music using same rawness and realism rap stood for in its inception but its the 2017 everyday reality - just brilliant
He's a real one needs more recognition he's a wolf among a bunch of sheep in this rap game I'm sorry was crazy played it at my brother's funeral .. Joyner just understands what people are going threw #joynerlucas
He's not underrated at all he's just not an industry puppet getting all this exposure. The man is dope the best out if you ask me I hope he stays indie cause the industry will change everything about his music they wouldn't let him tell his message like he wants to tell it. Same goes for mysoone and Hopsin.
Joyner deserves xxl . He is not just a rapper . He's a lyricist. His music has to be some of the realist shit I've ever heard . B4 y'all knock me for my cover photo jus know I love real rap . Guys like joey , logic,Joyner , token, hopsin , tech,futuristic etc .
Cool Show He WAS gonna be on 2016, but they didn't choose him. They didn't choose him...over Yachty, Desiigner, Vert, Kodack, and 21. They even got Paak (a singer) over him
FSM FSM i agree with you, but xxl is a way for him to get on the mainstream radio. Usually the industry puts out whatever artists are on the xxl freshmen list.
I became a father when I was 19 I was scared,mad and depressed but I don’t regret any of it I wouldn’t trade my son for anything I love him to death I sacrificed so much for him and I’d do it again over and over again
I had my daughter at 18 That shit was a struggle because my baby mama cheated on me and they tried taking my daughter away from me but I stood my ground and did everything possible to have my rights And now this year she will be turning 3 years old It’s hard but I love my daughter with everything I have They grow up fast Wish you the best with your son :)
I had my daughter at 16. Before her I had no motive in life and didn’t know what I wanted to be. I got Kicked out from home because I was pregnant so then I was homeless and pregnant but I pulled through found a place to stay, got a job and finished high school. No one was at my graduation but me and my daughter. I just finished a qualification and currently studying business to eventually start my own. My daughter is my motivation to live and keep doing what I have to do for US.
Whaaaat... He flexes all the time about his skill and he isn't very humble or down to earth.. Openly admits he wants to be rich and famous. Listen closer 😀
Joyner the realist, he touched up on so many different topics that people are sensitive to. He literally raps about facts only. He needs to be more well known, for real, we got rappers out here that got big like Lil Pump but not joyner. Shit’s messed
me and my mother had a messed up relationship, but for once we bonded over this mans music, and im grateful joyner came into the picture cause ever since we've been happy together. im young but understand every lyric cause my dad and i have the same relationship mr. Joyner you are my biggest motivation and idol you helped me in my darkest and my moms darkest moments, nothing like other rappers :)
I was 14 when I got pregnant and this is exactly how I felt. I was lost. I was stressed. Mental illness got the best of me...but the day my baby boy was born everything was different. As I saw him take his first breathe, laugh, crawl....I just couldn't do anything but love him....and all the horrible things I wanted to do i took it back. I saw what a beautiful soul I created and tooke everything back. I couldn't be a happier mother..
yo congrats and i thank YOU for not doing what you wanted to do at that time your a great mother and all i have to say for now is keep fighting the good life and enjoy it while you can. also how old are you rn?
@nikola zazzoslki yo guy the only reason i said shut it is cuz its rude to be acting and saying that shit have some common sense but yea shes a great mother
2 Pac would be proud of you Joyner, you make shit from the heart like he had. Reguardless you are one of the greats already, next to J Cole, Wale, and Kendrick.
I'm about to become a father and I can't stop listening to this song. It's so damn real and true. Huge respect to Joyner Lucas for making such a brilliant expression of love.
I became a father a year ago. And this kept getting played because of my mixed feelings. A year later and I take back everything I felt before. Fatherhood is amazing!

Stay independent Joyner. Don’t sign any record deal, they will force you to water down your content and realness should always be raw and deep to the core. Your music shakes my soul right, you’re in a class of your own. Edit: this dude is fully independent and is doing his best to put other rappers onto the game, props to this man and his team to make this a reality. I wish I had this when I wa rapping. I stopped but don't it stop YOU. grind and you'll see yourself somewhere happy. Good luck. I love you, human.
Really? I'd hate for class like Joyner to go MAJOR. he's clinging hip-hip together with his stories. makes these Mumble cunts look like illiterate babies.
Sean Crowley He been on a major for over a year. And listen to Gucci Gang Remix, He says it clearly “Atlantic says they wont put out my album unless I have a hit record, but I dont care bout no hit song”...lol
Marc Regal Shit, I never knew that. I’ve only started getting into his music. When he passes he’ll be one of the best to ever grace the mic. Dude is a genius, every topic he talks about he hits it on the head like a hammer and nail. I just hope he doesn’t let nobody change his music and what he does coz he’s unique like Kendrick.
My girlfriend gave birth today. I always listened to this album a lot while she was pregnant. Holding our baby girl today, I could hear this song playing in my head. I Felt like thrash. We tried getting rid of her twice but she wasnt going nowhere. Looking at her today I just couldn’t hold my tears back, they thought it was joy, but I was heart broken I tried to get rid of her. Daddy love you AUDREY Thanks guys. She’s doing great, we celebrated her one year birthday last month. This past year has been amazing.
Twice? Damn. I’m sure nothing I could say would make you feel worse and that’s not my intention, so Ima just drop that Congrats to you for raising a fighter. You should come back and give regular updates on how babygirls doing. The amount of likes is the amount of people that wanna know.
It started with the I’m Not Racist video and then went to people including me loving his music because of all the sensitive and deep topics that he raps about brings people together. He also tries to create peace with the world with his music. Legend on its way👌🏽💯
This song hit real deep for me. Went thru a similar phase in my life. When i was pregnant with my secind daughter my baby daddy was in and out if jail, running the streets, difderent night with a different girl while im at home faithful and worrying doing it all on my own. One day he came home and brought the girl for that week home and kicked me out. I had nowhere to go, no one who would take me in or help me. I remember crying and telling myself that i couldnt bring my baby into such a cruel unforgiving world with absolutely nothing. At the time i wasnt thinking straight and thought it be best if she never was born and had to go thru all of lifes bs. I was 8 months due in 3 weeks. I tried taking my life and my babys and swallowed a whole bottle of blood pressure pills as i left his house. Went down to my friends house and her dad found me in the bathroom almost passed out, almost gone and took me to the ER. The doctor told me when i came to that if i had gotten there 2 minutes later than when i arrived i wouldve been gone for good. I thank God daily that i didnt succeed and she came out with nothing wrong with her. And just like this gentlemans words say, i hope she can forgive me one day.
"You don't understand my words but you will eventually" could be taken in the context of the kid vs parent but could also be a good lyric for someone you've had problems with ya know? For some reason that lyric is just deep for me
I knew it finally Joyner is getting all the credit he deserves finally JOYNER I BEEN A FAN SINCE DAY ONE YOU GAVE MY MOM UR DEMO OUTSIDE IN L.A A WHILE BACK AND SHE PUT ME ON TO YOU I KNEW YOU WOULD BLOW IM NOT RACIST BEST SONG OF THIS DECADE KEEP IT UP BRA ME AND MY MOM ARE Praying FOR YOU KEEP IT UP!!!
It's a damn shame that Joyner Lucas is making music in this day and age where his talent will go unnoticed. if he was making these in the 90s he would be topping all charts and be considered one of the greats and a household name. fucking shame.
Always speaking about things everyone else is scared to speak about...I love the realness of Joyner... He's videos are always short movies I just love everything about this man.
This man possesses the gift of story telling like no other artist I’ve ever experienced. Truly a gifted man. Whether your embarrassing other rappers on there own beats or pouring your heart and feelings out on a track like this. I’thank you from the bottom of my heart for being true to your self and not being a sugar coated, sell out that talks about $ and objects
I found out I was pregnant with my daughter at 18. I thought about abortion but didn't go through with it. Now that she's here with me I'm so happy that I had her because I have a best friend that will never leave my side. I love you so much Olivia.
(Please read if you have the time) I rarely write comments in videos but I thought I had to. I can relate to this song so much right now, every word Joyner said is what I recently when through. I'm only 19 years old and close to having my first Child, I remember first hearing the news and thinking to myself like I'll never do this, I don't want this, I ain't ready. I even told me partner to have an abortion, "cause it's not like the things alive," I couldn't stand telling my parents. My initial though was that they would disown me, Time went on and I understood more on how much it meant to her, and how much it would mean to me. So we decided to have it. I was barely getting an income of money, but I was confident on everything I did. Tried my best to stay positive. We both went along with everything and I eventually told me parents and close friends. It was a rough road getting everything through my head, but I wouldn't change any of it. In I couple of weeks time I will be staring in the eyes of my first daughter. Wish me luck🌹 EDIT: (This truely is insane on how much support I have received here. I've read every comment on this post and have acknowledged every single one of you. It seriously means a lot hearing everyones love and support for me and my daughter. I would reply to every single one of you if I had the time, but I hope you people realise on how thankful I am. Thank you for the prayers and luck you guys have wished me. I know this sounds weird but its more support I've ever received. As for my darling. She is great, she is close to being 6 weeks old and its all going so far. If you guys would like to see her I have a few photos on my Instagram (Just type up my name and you should find me). And as for me, I'm fine, taking everything one day at a time. Still no job, but of course I'm applying for everything on the market. Once again, much love to all you guys!)
I feel you. My dad died a year after i met him. I met him when i was 6 years old. 2 weeks later i came to this country and never saw him again. His death brought me so much depression it still hits me. And i started Going through the path he did. Till i got arrested 2 months ago, and that woke me up. And now seeing this video gave me a chance. Now i have a stepdad who cares about me and I will graduate for my mom my stepdad my grandma and uncle who raised me, my brothers. And for my dad.
My girlfriend did a pregnancy test yesterday and it came out positive. It was already planned that if this was to happen she'd get an abortion. Now Im seeing it from a different perspective almost like God opened my eyes. This is my firstborn and I love it more then I love myself. My father was never there for me since he was deported after violating his probation when I was 3. I just want to be the father that I never had and now Im in a depression.
god is showing you a sign you didn't see this video for nothing speak to him and call his name he will guide you....trust me that child is your blessing I wish I never gave up on mine
Marche Griffin She cheated on me with my best friend and I'm getting high for my birthday. All of this shit happened today so I'm really depressed. She said she's going to kill herself. I'm calling her mom right now.
This generation should recognize and appreciate the talent this man has. He is one of if not the best story teller hip hop has ever witnessed. I’m sure blessed to have witnessed a the abilities of this man. It’s like witnessing an Ali fight. I’m an 80’s baby so I don’t have any recollection of the hype which surrounded Mohammad Ali. But I did get to witness Michael Jordan , Michael Jackson, Mike Tyson,the start of the internet, and this man joyner lucas.

Is anyone paying attention to the video? The storyline hits the irony perfectly give him an oscar too
Aj Guerra that's what makes the song even better
People dislike it because its not about hoes, drugs and money. Badass cars, big houses and jewelry. This man speaks about real life events and speaks about his feelings and shit. Joyner keep doing what your doing bro some of us actually listen and we hear you!

I'm usually not a rap fan because of those mentioned topics..............Thought that was what it was all about. I was terribly mistaken @_@
From Metalhead to I am exploring a lot of music now. lol Still love my metal tho
This guy is truly a gem
you forgot about the people that only listen to music for the beat that hate this type of rap because of it not having a beat so loud you cant hear the words
Well, Eminem featured him and now he's got the recognition he deserves. I'm not sure how many views this had 2 months ago, but it's near 10 million now.
Crying. Can't remember the last time a rapper had me do that. I needed to hear this, today.
Check out the new one falling slowly
Check out happy birthday mate
Same man
Much love homie 👑
@@jayhmz just listened to it….wowww😳😳

Solo damn
"I really just think we crossed paths at the wrong time" i felt that
Random Things the first time I read one of those comments that wasn’t a joke
Me 2
Why is he so underrated?
No one understands the shit he makes it ain't 'real' people don't realize real rap these days
Zeta Heta Phi if you think he's underrated, check out K.A.A.N.
Zeta Heta Phi it's a shame
gnarly sniff K.A.A.N. is fuckin great
Zeta Heta Phi labels won't allow him to
I've watched so many of his videos and realize that none have ads on them. He literally PAYS to have you watch his music. What a G.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
“I hope one day you don’t hold this shit against me” 😢
😣😞😭
This s*** is real straight to the heart
Just discovered him and I automatically fell in love. I love that his music has a message to it. Can’t wait to see this man grow
and it's cold outside!!
Saammmee
Kay and Lay listen to "Ross Capichioni" (Idk if i spelled that right) that was the first song I heard by him that was a couple years ago I've been a fan ever since.
His story telling and lyricism is probably top 5 in the rapgame right now.
I started listening after Ross Capichioni as well, i'm beyond happy to see Joyner finally exploding. 600k YT subs in Dec alone
Very touchy. We need more music like this instead of mumble rap. Thanks Joyner!!
What rappers mumble
Aldin Bajric Thanks Kanye! Very cool!
For real
Bruh this shit ain’t mumble. He’s done a song with emeinem making fun of mumble rappers
Id like but its at 420 ill keep it that way
Been listening for years and still can't get through this song without crying. Thanks Joyner for making something so beautiful and human.
Tupac would be proud
EPIC TACO900 amen
EPIC TACO900 (want give them all my farther DIDN'T GIVE TOO ME) FEELING EMPTY!LOVE ME! LIFE TIME
EPIC TACO900 i like you mane
Fuckin facts bro! This definitely has that deep feeling 2pac vibes!
Exactly letter to my unborn child part 2
Real Rapper dealing with real issues, read emotions. Much respect!!!
You know what, it's weird hearing a rapper who is just saying one phrase and calling it a song and then adding some beat. It's nice to hear someone who out puts there thoughts and feeling into a song and gives it there all, and for that, I very much respect you for that!
Guchi gang Guchi gang Guchi can Guchi gang Guchi gang
Dizzy Dreams I
Miya Simms yeah right that shit is garbage stay in yo lane
their*
You need some kendrick Lamar
This shit is so relatable man, even to us who didn't go through exactly the same. Joyner's pen is so meticulous and eloquently ingenious
We need to get this guy more fame
Its Jorge yesss
You mean clout?
This is EXACTLY what I went through 5 years ago. My son is 4 now and I cannot explain the love one can have for their child. This song made me tear up with how accurate it was. I ended up getting out of the Army the week before he was born and was homeless 6 months later because of his mom's greed. Yes, it has gotten better, and yes we still go though it...BUT, he is fully worth it. Just damn, thank you Joyner Lucas.
How are you and your son doing now?
thank you for your service idk how anyone could do that to someone especially if theyre doing something to help them in the future plus you guys loved each other
People say Joyner is the second tupac nah hes the first joyner
You can't compare one man's originality and unique style to another it just takes away from one or the other Joyner Lucas is on some real life issues what rap is supposed to be thankyou Joyner Lucas
But on a real, i see why Eminem sees a little of himself in Joyner.
Exactly
Damn
;)
3:13 "I can't believe I tried to hurt you, I hope you forgive me." I love that. That is *deeply* personal and that's the type of emotional depth and vulnerability music is missing nowadays. Artists make "emotional" music all the time but they don't bare their soul. This man made his guilt and anguish over almost aborting his son into a song for millions to listen to. That takes balls. Asking for forgiveness. That takes balls and is very vulnerable. I respect that.
This low key shows how precious life really is
Not the 2K goat *high
traveler 7 u probley right
Quasar Defalt You monster!
traveler 7 wus wrong
Not the 2K goat igy
Joyners music is soooo deep
Misunderstood . Just call me nobody , whoooooaaaaaah...😮
August too
Misunderstood . Just call me nobody yes it is!!he good at this yo
Misunderstood . Just call me nobody
Bruh every time he does these type of songs I tear up
And I don't cry easily...
Misunderstood . Just call me nobody ture
Fav rapper hands down
jacquez addison UU u
Logic better
Logan you fucking tripping
Being a dad is the best and most important job you'll ever have. Let it become your whole life. Let it consume you entirely. This is your life's purpose. Lean into it.
It truly is. I fucked up lots in my life. but being a dad is my second chance. I truly do love him more than I love myself. walking him to Kindergarten every morning is better than any night staying out late partying in my twenties.
@@rizednb heck yeah!
I thank God for my daughter. I'm a single father.....Having a daughter saved my life it also slowed me down and bettered me as a man. If it was not for her and God no telling what or where I would be now.
A road a lot the same not gonna lie, its odd for a song to make me cry but this track does 9/10 for the point in my life i was so selfish.
I have 3 daughters and i tell them all the time yall saved my life they want never understand but they saved my life
Real talk bro
I'm not gonna have kids It's a waste of time and money
@@BitchChill naw its not bro, but make sure your ready and it's with the right person.
his stuff is always so powerful. i cant put it into words💗💫✨
Lauren Jewel he understands what it's like to have empathy
theodore sanders Nobody shows empathy not even john wick
Lauren Jewel you right
It’s because it’s real no sugar coat just straight facts
He somehow manages to it always gets me
He takes every day life stories, topics and tragedies and creates the visual through rap music using same rawness and realism rap stood for in its inception but its the 2017 everyday reality - just brilliant
i've never seen someone sound so passionate about music.
What you've said is well worded, and the honest truth.
He's a real one needs more recognition he's a wolf among a bunch of sheep in this rap game I'm sorry was crazy played it at my brother's funeral .. Joyner just understands what people are going threw #joynerlucas
Christine Richards the song is also meant for his son as well
I have no words, only tears
kinda aggravated me that joyner is so underrated
Hey man, he finally blew up. Really. Instead of being the "I'm not racist" guy.
Hey man shit don't get mad spread the word
He’s coming up tho. He rapped with eminem dude thats pretty huge. Eminem put him out there. Huge fan!
He's not underrated at all he's just not an industry puppet getting all this exposure. The man is dope the best out if you ask me I hope he stays indie cause the industry will change everything about his music they wouldn't let him tell his message like he wants to tell it. Same goes for mysoone and Hopsin.
Joyner deserves xxl . He is not just a rapper . He's a lyricist. His music has to be some of the realist shit I've ever heard . B4 y'all knock me for my cover photo jus know I love real rap . Guys like joey , logic,Joyner , token, hopsin , tech,futuristic etc .
Cool Show He WAS gonna be on 2016, but they didn't choose him. They didn't choose him...over Yachty, Desiigner, Vert, Kodack, and 21. They even got Paak (a singer) over him
What the fuck are you saying.. XXL freshmen list is for trash rappers.. thank fuck Joyner hasn't been on there.
He deserves more. Fucking love this guy!
FSM FSM i agree with you, but xxl is a way for him to get on the mainstream radio. Usually the industry puts out whatever artists are on the xxl freshmen list.
Cool Show you forgot witt and Nf , sik world
I became a father when I was 19 I was scared,mad and depressed but I don’t regret any of it I wouldn’t trade my son for anything I love him to death I sacrificed so much for him and I’d do it again over and over again
ThRash Gaming Hope you and your son are doing good :)
traveler 7 thanks :) he just had his 1 year bday a couple days ago. Couldn’t be more happy.
I had my daughter at 18
That shit was a struggle because my baby mama cheated on me and they tried taking my daughter away from me but I stood my ground and did everything possible to have my rights
And now this year she will be turning 3 years old
It’s hard but I love my daughter with everything I have
They grow up fast
Wish you the best with your son :)
Keep that love alive, man
Your son will grow up to know that he has an amazing father. I respect you, now and days father's leave. You stood your ground
"And nothing ever made me cry as much as u i swear, your smile gives motivation and some new ideas" 🔥 🔥 🔥
I had my daughter at 16. Before her I had no motive in life and didn’t know what I wanted to be. I got Kicked out from home because I was pregnant so then I was homeless and pregnant but I pulled through found a place to stay, got a job and finished high school. No one was at my graduation but me and my daughter. I just finished a qualification and currently studying business to eventually start my own. My daughter is my motivation to live and keep doing what I have to do for US.
BypassingZ I’m 21 now lol
You're amazing! Wish you the best!
Please message me. I have same problem and now kicked out from home. Please advice me something
Jai xo 💪
Jai xo what kind of family kicks out their pregnant daughter
This guy is so underatted doesn't flex he is as humble and down to earth as they come
Whaaaat... He flexes all the time about his skill and he isn't very humble or down to earth.. Openly admits he wants to be rich and famous. Listen closer 😀
Well until you've seen his recent video....hope his whole album won't b like that
Joyner the realist, he touched up on so many different topics that people are sensitive to. He literally raps about facts only. He needs to be more well known, for real, we got rappers out here that got big like Lil Pump but not joyner. Shit’s messed
Be glad, he is blowing up in the rap scene right now.
Kpop Joon Bear because people fear the truth. It’s way easier for weak minded people to not accept it than to learn to accept it
Yadira Gonzalez True
Kpop Joon Bear yeaa shit is lil pump only has one song that got viral and joyner has more and better ones
Yea
me and my mother had a messed up relationship, but for once we bonded over this mans music, and im grateful joyner came into the picture cause ever since we've been happy together. im young but understand every lyric cause my dad and i have the same relationship mr. Joyner you are my biggest motivation and idol you helped me in my darkest and my moms darkest moments, nothing like other rappers :)
I was 14 when I got pregnant and this is exactly how I felt. I was lost. I was stressed. Mental illness got the best of me...but the day my baby boy was born everything was different. As I saw him take his first breathe, laugh, crawl....I just couldn't do anything but love him....and all the horrible things I wanted to do i took it back. I saw what a beautiful soul I created and tooke everything back. I couldn't be a happier mother..
Audi Sanchez wait
14
@nikola zazzoslki shut it guy
yo congrats and i thank YOU for not doing what you wanted to do at that time your a great mother and all i have to say for now is keep fighting the good life and enjoy it while you can. also how old are you rn?
@nikola zazzoslki yo guy the only reason i said shut it is cuz its rude to be acting and saying that shit have some common sense
but yea shes a great mother
It takes a MAN to be this Real,open and honest. Joyner Lucas never stop making music like this.
This is real rap
Librado Espinoza it is it reminds me of what ma mom and dad been in with me💔
EPIC!
2 Pac would be proud of you Joyner, you make shit from the heart like he had.
Reguardless you are one of the greats already, next to J Cole, Wale, and Kendrick.
Robert Gearhart also Logic, he is been doing this for years now
Joyner is better then logic lyrically
To quote Busta Rhymes, "You on the level of Nas"
Ali I love Logic and why I feel he has a better audience appeal, Joyner is more real. I don’t care who’s better cus they’re both great
Let's not compare joyner to wale bc joiner is good lyrically wale is garbage
WOW, HE SPILLED MY EXACT FEELINGS WHEN I WAS GOING TO BE A FATHER, MY CHILD IS 6 MONTHS AND I'M SO GLAD I'M NOT THE SAME MAN I WAS BEFORE.
Will Suarez I have a lot of respect for people who take care of there kids and if they can’t at the time have it get adopted but much respect to you
Will Suarez it ok to be scared we are Human.
Omg I love it
Joynar Lucas need to be on the radio
crazyboiisavage splashing girls sorry they don't allow quality
crazyboiisavage splashing girls I know right
If he was everyone would be emmotional
I'm about to become a father and I can't stop listening to this song. It's so damn real and true. Huge respect to Joyner Lucas for making such a brilliant expression of love.
th-cam.com/video/Yoy4nGZBiM4/w-d-xo.html CONGRATS...MY KIDS SAVED ME ❤️
Congratulations 💛💛💛
I became a father a year ago. And this kept getting played because of my mixed feelings. A year later and I take back everything I felt before. Fatherhood is amazing!
Me too😅
Hope you n your child doing well
This is like the reverse of happy birthday.
Edit: 2.4 Thousand Likes!!! That's insane
I’ve been searching for a comment like this!
For real
You watch that video, he falls in love with that kid in the video man. You gotta watch the video.
@@jamespettyjohn4330 the do not connect. That wasnt his kid in that one and this is his kid in this one. He even prayed for a kid in happy birthday and didn't want one in this
@@MIXMASTER6991 what are you saying, if you meant they don't connect I would argue your wrong.
[Intro]
Yo
I know you don't understand my words but you will eventually
You will eventually
Some day
One day
[Refrain]
I know you don't understand my words but you will eventually
And when you get older I hope you don't hold this shit against me
I hope you understand I love you more than life itself
And this is nothin' but your daddy's thoughts when he was feelin' empty
[Verse 1]
And everything ain't always what it seems like on the outside
I fought so many tears so that you would never see the outcry
I never wanted kids until I lived and went through hard times
And became a man that fell in love with someone that my heart finds
But you know how that shit go
Young and reckless, different women part time
And I wasn't ready for that life yet, I was in my dark prime
Me and your moms ain't get along and she gave me a hard time
I really think that we just crossed paths at the wrong time
I wasn't happy when she said she was pregnant
Probably the worst news of my life, that shit was so depressing
I told her she should get an abortion and I really meant it
I'm sorry that I said that shit, yo I was trippin'
[Refrain]
I know you don't understand my words but you will eventually
And when you get older I hope you don't hold this shit against me
I'm sorry, yo
[Verse 2]
And I never wanted a broken home to raise you from a distance
Yeah I'll admit it, I was scared of that type of commitment
Even hopes of a miscarriage, anything bad that could happen
That'd get me out of that situation, I was livid
I felt like shit about my thoughts, that wasn't me, I'm different
Plus I was dealing with some demons that I couldn't live with
I told her she should get an abortion and I really meant it
[Refrain]
I know you don't understand my words but you will eventually
And when you get older I hope you don't hold this shit against me
Hope you don't hate me, I was selfish, I hope you forgive me
Hope you forgive me
[Verse 3]
And I still remember your baby shower like it was yesterday
And to your mom it was special, me, just another day
I wish that you could see the pictures, all the fake phony smilin'
Had to pretend that I was happy, deep down I was cryin'
Ma asked if I was okay, I turned around and looked away
I was dryin' all my tears, look back to say yeah
I was lyin', goddamn, how the hell I get here?
This is it, this supposed to be my life
This ain't how I pictured it
I never felt so damn alone, but it was more than often
One of the worst days of my life, and I ain't even lyin'
We argued when we came home, I blame myself for all this
I think that I was holding a grudge 'cause she ain't get an abortion
I'm sorry
Damn
[Refrain]
And I know you can't understand my words but you will eventually
And when you get older I hope you don't hold this shit against me
I can't believe I tried to hurt you, I hope you forgive me
Please, please
[Verse 4]
And everything ain't always what it seems like on the outside
I fight so many tears so that you would never see the outcry
I sacrifice my life so you could live it
Peace, want to give you things my father couldn't give to, me
I think I was raised wrong, and that's just what it is to me
And if you ask him then his ass gon' probably disagree
But whatever, whatever
And nothing's ever made me cry as much as you, I swear
Your smile gives me motivation and some new ideas
My worst fear is always you not knowing who I am
'Cause I been on the road dreamchasing for you out here
I was the first thing that you opened your eyes to
And the last one that you said goodnight to
I went home and cried to
And I bawled my eyes out, and then watched you
Glad I got you, that's a blatant fact
And every negative thing I said I swear I take it back
[Refrain]
I know you don't understand my words but you will eventually
And when you get older I hope you don't hold this shit against me
I hope you understand I love you more than I love myself
And this is nothin' but your daddy's thoughts when he was feelin' empty
[Outro]
I was feelin' empty
I been feelin' empty
I put my emotions in this music when I'm feelin' empty
I hope you forgive me
Please, please
Zy King thx
Your welcome bro
Stay independent Joyner. Don’t sign any record deal, they will force you to water down your content and realness should always be raw and deep to the core. Your music shakes my soul right, you’re in a class of your own.
Edit: this dude is fully independent and is doing his best to put other rappers onto the game, props to this man and his team to make this a reality. I wish I had this when I wa rapping. I stopped but don't it stop YOU. grind and you'll see yourself somewhere happy. Good luck. I love you, human.
Sean Crowley He’s been on Atlantic records lol
Really?
I'd hate for class like Joyner to go MAJOR. he's clinging hip-hip together with his stories. makes these Mumble cunts look like illiterate babies.
Sean Crowley He been on a major for over a year. And listen to Gucci Gang Remix, He says it clearly “Atlantic says they wont put out my album unless I have a hit record, but I dont care bout no hit song”...lol
Marc Regal Shit, I never knew that. I’ve only started getting into his music. When he passes he’ll be one of the best to ever grace the mic. Dude is a genius, every topic he talks about he hits it on the head like a hammer and nail. I just hope he doesn’t let nobody change his music and what he does coz he’s unique like Kendrick.
Sean Crowley yeah crazy. he dont even need a major. I hate these record companies man
God, this is real
This song made me look at my daughter and cry. I'm so glad we made the right choice with her. Another amazing Joyner track. Thank you!
Tupac Amaru Shakur has blessed Joyner with the ability to create and spread the truth rather than false hope.
Love your comment.... I'm a Pac fan he would be proud of this type of music.
Contessa Nowacki Agreed
1: dont compare them he might rap about some serious stufc but hes not tupac hes joyner 2: says the hypebeast
He made himself he’s not pac 2
Optic - T God! God blesses Joyner as well as Tupac Shakir to create and spread the truth.
How am i just finding about this guy now?!?!, he's fucking awesome!!
"When you get older I hope you don't hold this shit against me"🥺😔those words hit home
i wonder if thats how our dads feel he left me wanted to abort mw but my mom said no
Same bro
Frrrrr this song gets to me😔🥺
Joyner so Underrated this man rap about real life shit 💯💯
5 months later, even after releasing music with Em and Logic, the 2 most over rated rappers, he remains underated
@@johnchavez3197 em isnt overrated but logic is lmao dumb bitch
John Chavez just bcz they’re more popular dosent mean that they are overrated
@@iluvass bruh he be rapping about real shit and he's really good in it
Omg sometimes I really hate how good Joyner is man. Joyner is just so amazing 😥
this is a prime example of how rap can tell a story
an emotional one at that
My girlfriend gave birth today. I always listened to this album a lot while she was pregnant. Holding our baby girl today, I could hear this song playing in my head. I Felt like thrash. We tried getting rid of her twice but she wasnt going nowhere. Looking at her today I just couldn’t hold my tears back, they thought it was joy, but I was heart broken I tried to get rid of her. Daddy love you AUDREY
Thanks guys. She’s doing great, we celebrated her one year birthday last month. This past year has been amazing.
Congratulations to both of y'all!
Big hugs bro. Congratulations and may life always smile for you, Audrey and all those who are yours. Peace and light.

Twice? Damn. I’m sure nothing I could say would make you feel worse and that’s not my intention, so Ima just drop that Congrats to you for raising a fighter. You should come back and give regular updates on how babygirls doing. The amount of likes is the amount of people that wanna know.
Don't feel bad man, human is human and she is here after all and you do love her. That means everything
It started with the I’m Not Racist video and then went to people including me loving his music because of all the sensitive and deep topics that he raps about brings people together. He also tries to create peace with the world with his music. Legend on its way👌🏽💯
same
i agree he is awesome
Actually it didn't start with I'm racist the song just gave him more recognition it started with this album that's when in that moment a star is born
QueenB Timmers : for me, it started with the song *I'm Sorry*
QueenB Timmers i listened to him way before im not racist
Joyner Lucas is a legend
its_richy _rich m
Where does he get these professional ass baby actors at 😮
thats his actual son fam
That's his real son
Gaurav Karkhanis wait if that's his real son then does that mean that the shit in "Happy Birthday" actually happened to him? That's pretty fucked
Idk why but this comment funny asf
No from everything ive read "Happy Birthday" is a hypothetical story
This song hit real deep for me. Went thru a similar phase in my life. When i was pregnant with my secind daughter my baby daddy was in and out if jail, running the streets, difderent night with a different girl while im at home faithful and worrying doing it all on my own. One day he came home and brought the girl for that week home and kicked me out. I had nowhere to go, no one who would take me in or help me. I remember crying and telling myself that i couldnt bring my baby into such a cruel unforgiving world with absolutely nothing. At the time i wasnt thinking straight and thought it be best if she never was born and had to go thru all of lifes bs. I was 8 months due in 3 weeks. I tried taking my life and my babys and swallowed a whole bottle of blood pressure pills as i left his house. Went down to my friends house and her dad found me in the bathroom almost passed out, almost gone and took me to the ER. The doctor told me when i came to that if i had gotten there 2 minutes later than when i arrived i wouldve been gone for good. I thank God daily that i didnt succeed and she came out with nothing wrong with her. And just like this gentlemans words say, i hope she can forgive me one day.
"You don't understand my words but you will eventually" could be taken in the context of the kid vs parent but could also be a good lyric for someone you've had problems with ya know? For some reason that lyric is just deep for me
Made me cry. This song is what rap should be like.
I knew it finally Joyner is getting all the credit he deserves finally JOYNER I BEEN A FAN SINCE DAY ONE YOU GAVE MY MOM UR DEMO OUTSIDE IN L.A A WHILE BACK AND SHE PUT ME ON TO YOU I KNEW YOU WOULD BLOW IM NOT RACIST BEST SONG OF THIS DECADE KEEP IT UP BRA ME AND MY MOM ARE Praying FOR YOU KEEP IT UP!!!
beyonce fr man, been a fan since his along came joyner proj.
beyonce
Damn, that’s so awesome.
its ironic you are named beyonce
Bruh he’s about to get so many new fans from I’m not racist
Felix Pitts forreal bro been listening to him
I got no words for how this song makes me feel my chest feel so tight
I’m not crying. My eyes are just sweating
It's a damn shame that Joyner Lucas is making music in this day and age where his talent will go unnoticed. if he was making these in the 90s he would be topping all charts and be considered one of the greats and a household name. fucking shame.
PRIK Designs It'll be appreciated by the right people.
FACTS
PRIK Designs facts
PRIK Designs what about K.A.A.N.?
gnarly sniff facts bro
Always speaking about things everyone else is scared to speak about...I love the realness of Joyner... He's videos are always short movies I just love everything about this man.
This man possesses the gift of story telling like no other artist I’ve ever experienced. Truly a gifted man. Whether your embarrassing other rappers on there own beats or pouring your heart and feelings out on a track like this. I’thank you from the bottom of my heart for being true to your self and not being a sugar coated, sell out that talks about $ and objects
Amen to that! I couldn't have said it better my brother, well spoken!✊🏼💪🏼
Bro Joyner Lucas is the realest Nigga I’ve ever heard, he’s gon be on top of the world soon...
JOYNER CHILL PLEASE. I can't afford all these medical bills every time you drop something
Elite story teller fr!!! Definitely one of the ONLY REAL ones left!
I found out I was pregnant with my daughter at 18. I thought about abortion but didn't go through with it. Now that she's here with me I'm so happy that I had her because I have a best friend that will never leave my side. I love you so much Olivia.
Adriana Devine facts.
Adriana Devine this song is the best way to bring the way I felt into context. I was beyond stressed and overwhelmed, my son saved me from myself.
Respect. i had friends who had sex a young ages and did drugs at young ages
Hi olivia
Adriana Devine how old is she know
(Please read if you have the time) I rarely write comments in videos but I thought I had to. I can relate to this song so much right now, every word Joyner said is what I recently when through. I'm only 19 years old and close to having my first Child, I remember first hearing the news and thinking to myself like I'll never do this, I don't want this, I ain't ready. I even told me partner to have an abortion, "cause it's not like the things alive," I couldn't stand telling my parents. My initial though was that they would disown me, Time went on and I understood more on how much it meant to her, and how much it would mean to me. So we decided to have it. I was barely getting an income of money, but I was confident on everything I did. Tried my best to stay positive. We both went along with everything and I eventually told me parents and close friends. It was a rough road getting everything through my head, but I wouldn't change any of it. In I couple of weeks time I will be staring in the eyes of my first daughter. Wish me luck🌹
EDIT: (This truely is insane on how much support I have received here. I've read every comment on this post and have acknowledged every single one of you. It seriously means a lot hearing everyones love and support for me and my daughter. I would reply to every single one of you if I had the time, but I hope you people realise on how thankful I am. Thank you for the prayers and luck you guys have wished me. I know this sounds weird but its more support I've ever received. As for my darling. She is great, she is close to being 6 weeks old and its all going so far. If you guys would like to see her I have a few photos on my Instagram (Just type up my name and you should find me). And as for me, I'm fine, taking everything one day at a time. Still no job, but of course I'm applying for everything on the market. Once again, much love to all you guys!)
Caleb Te Rangi I wish you luck my brotha

This is forever my song for my daughter. Love you livie jade. It always makes me cry. Im so happy she made it earthside.
I never had a real dad and it just made me cry having the thought of a proud dad when he sees his son graduate.
I feel you. My dad died a year after i met him. I met him when i was 6 years old. 2 weeks later i came to this country and never saw him again. His death brought me so much depression it still hits me. And i started Going through the path he did. Till i got arrested 2 months ago, and that woke me up. And now seeing this video gave me a chance. Now i have a stepdad who cares about me and I will graduate for my mom my stepdad my grandma and uncle who raised me, my brothers. And for my dad.

I hope the best for you.

My girlfriend did a pregnancy test yesterday and it came out positive. It was already planned that if this was to happen she'd get an abortion. Now Im seeing it from a different perspective almost like God opened my eyes. This is my firstborn and I love it more then I love myself. My father was never there for me since he was deported after violating his probation when I was 3. I just want to be the father that I never had and now Im in a depression.
Anonymous Legion salute man, do for that baby what couldn't be done for you 🙏 God bless you bro stay up
Anonymous Legion have the baby. You'll be the happiest man ever. I live and die for my kids
I would die for my kids but it's not my choice. Either it will be an abortion or a miscarriage. I've been losing sleep over this.
god is showing you a sign you didn't see this video for nothing speak to him and call his name he will guide you....trust me that child is your blessing I wish I never gave up on mine
Marche Griffin She cheated on me with my best friend and I'm getting high for my birthday. All of this shit happened today so I'm really depressed. She said she's going to kill herself. I'm calling her mom right now.
This generation should recognize and appreciate the talent this man has. He is one of if not the best story teller hip hop has ever witnessed. I’m sure blessed to have witnessed a the abilities of this man. It’s like witnessing an Ali fight. I’m an 80’s baby so I don’t have any recollection of the hype which surrounded Mohammad Ali. But I did get to witness Michael Jordan , Michael Jackson, Mike Tyson,the start of the internet, and this man joyner lucas.
I showed this to my son and he smiled at me the whole song. You're pure magic Joyner!
