This level of addiction is frightening. Choosing a substance over your own son... having 50$ and thinking about your score instead of getting your son a toy or something... you lose your soul.
the world we live in. the media will never promote anything that will help the younger generations, most young ones are lost already and only want to hear songs promoting gang, sex, drugs and any other bullshit same as the media that will give this useless songs mass coverage. watch how many views the song has and go check lil pump and kanye shit song
8 years clean. From a former alcoholic and coke addict to hard working father of a 2 year old son. It's the legacy that's keeping me strong. Powerful song mr. Royce. 🙏
so true it seemed like the song was so short but it just felt that way cause he got his message across so quickly with so few words. well done no doubt
Yea...it sux..ihave friend with demons...and kids..it's hard seeing him that way....wasn't there a vid with dmx being put on the spot ..to choose fam or rehab...anyways great song...video was what I pictured
Aint nothin but facts, my brothers. As fire as "Summer on Lock" was, if I'm not wrong it took almost a whole month for the video to reach a million. Sad!
Simple beat, incredible lyrics, raw emotion. This song wasn’t made for the fans, it was made for himself. And one day this will be recognised on the same level Stan is.
i feel like first of all this doesnt need to be compared to stan for any particular reason but if we are gonna do that, one it won't get that respect but that doesnt mean it isn't an equal or better song, eminem pointed out in an interview he did in 2020 that he rarely sees the rappers HE thinks deserve to be on top 50 lists, actually on top 50 lists. so same goes for songs, recognition doesnt equal actual greatness every time. then the one thing stan has going for it in comparison is the length of the song i thought maybe i just lost track of time because i was literally sitting here crying my eyes out to this song because it touched me so emotionally, but i felt like even though it told the whole story, i was still in the middle of it expecting so much more--and then it ended. and i was like, wait, what just happened? im mid-cry, hello? this is over? where's the rest of the song? i double checked and the full length stan video is 8:88 now you can cut about a minute out of that or so for the intro but this also has a (shorter) intro and i guess i was expecting some more anecdotes, something to lengthen this episode, something to really draw it out into that really epic length that i started expecting as this song was progressing. FWIW eminem is my favorite rapper of all time but this a superior song to stan i'm literally disappointed because i feel like i've just listened to *half* of a superior song to stan.
Arsen Bouzyla Man, 2017 and 2018 was a great year for rap. Jericho Jackson was one of my favorites. Dreamin Out Loud, Daytona, Streams Of Thought, Lamps, No News Is Good News, Care For Me, Pieces Of A Man, so so many. Hopefully 2019 is just as good.
@Ronald Turner Weird that you clicked on a video of him then. But it's all good, keep listening to Lil Pump and let the rest of us appreciate actual music.
@Ronald Turner No, dude! Me I put Eminem and 5'9" on the same level. He IS one of the best rappers in the game. I seriously cannot believe what you're saying. I get it if you're joking. Man, he is one of them real ones.
My dad did the same thing for me, checked himself into rehab without having to be asked. Been clean for 37 years now. I'm glad my father chose me over alcohol!! Love you pops
Now that's a real man I respect your father because mine never came back and I've got addiction problems mental health problems and definitely intimacy problems and I dont trust anyone .Half the time I was living with my grandparents when my mother was with her abusive alcoholic and drug addicted ex husband who put me through the worst seven years of my life .I've never truly hated someone until I dealt with him ,he abused my mom physically,emotionally, sexually and physically abused my older brother ,myself and his own son who is younger than me .I have real bad depression and this might sound strange but pain keeps me going
Nas is also dropping deep tracks. Go search his name! They’re at the top now. These OGs really flexing themselves while spreading their respective messages.
Was addicted to cocaine and heroin in Detroit Michigan for 12 years I've been clean 6 I now have a little girl and she has never seen me high I lost her mom to preeclampsia she dosent got a mom and it's hard to be a dad from a prison cell I dramatically changed my life and anybody can
Jerry Benard my grandma was a drunk for 20 years and alcohol ruined her marriage and relationship with my mom and uncle but when I was born she came to my house and asked my mom what it would take to be in my life and she said be sober for 24 hours so the next day my mom let her see me but not hold me the my mom said be sober for 48 hours so when the 2 days were up she came back and got to hold me for 5 minutes but after that she never came back and my mom thought she went back to her old ways but 6 months later she came back and said I have not even seen a bottle or can in 6 months can I please see him and my mom said ok so she stayed the night and didn’t put me down she stayed up all night holding me my grandma has not had a drop of alcohol in almost 15 years and she keeps my little brother and sister all the time
@@lukejamesbgn yeah I did listen to the song if you really meant that question seriously...no need to hype him up hahaha it was a great song and all but the story telling doesn't get much simpler
I got clean....again....to this song. Over and over and over for the first week or two I would play this while detoxing and somehow doing my job. When I wake up tomorrow, it will be a year clean....again....for the last time. One is the only number that matters. One better choice, one more time getting up and trying again, one more time forgiving yourself, one more time telling the truth, one life to live one second at a time in the bliss of the present moment. One love. 🙏🏻💎💎💎🧘♂️☸️
Thank God for artists like Royce who still bless us with music like that... let's not take him for granted. let's buy is his music and support him to the fullest.
Still doesn’t get all the credit he deserves but man it makes me so happy to see Royce getting a little more appreciation. One of the all-time greatest MC’s💯
Shady XXI still plenty of dope MC’s out there just don’t see them in the mainstream as much...just off the top of my head, young dudes like Nick Grant, Oswin Benjamin, Mick Jenkins, Shawn Smith, Anoyd, Denzil Porter and Chris Rivers could hold their own on a track with a lot of the greats. It’s a shame they don’t get more shine but they’re definitely keeping lyricism alive🙏
I doubt you'll ever see this message, but...I know the making of this album was difficult and a struggle for you. It brought up some demons that were hard to deal with and sharing them took a stupendous amount of courage. This album speaks to people in ways most art that gets made today just doesn't anymore. So thanks to you and everyone involved for doing this for all of us.
Powerful song. I started doing cocaine at age 14. Ever since then it has been a part of my life I've been to jail because of it, and almost ruined my marriage. I am 28 now, and I am 4 months sober because I chose my family over cocaine. God bless
I only just found this track today... "I'm proud to say that I'm an addict who inherit your pain" That's some of the realest shit i've ever heard. Royce has done it, again.
I just got off of opiates... mainly hydros, percs, dilaudid and fentynyl... Managed to kick cigarettes as I was getting clean off of opiates. It feels great to see someone else talking about getting clean.
Dilaudid and fentanyl were so painful to try and kick. But I was using IV both and cold turkey. 13 nights awake straight hell. I cannot even tell you. 14th night something came thru so I didn’t even quit. Boy did I sleep good that night tho. 5 months now
The song and the whole video is ABSOLUTELY touching and honest in so many ways. I could see this being a life-changing & self-reflecting video for some people which make them take a U-turn in life. The emotion in your rapping and especially in your singing brings the song so much more to life. Also, man you rhymed "alcohol" with "law" didn't expect that at all! If you're reading this by any chance, big fan!
TheRussianGenius dope comment man just a think ... alcohol doesn’t really rhyme with law but it’s the words before the ending rhyme which made those words sound like rhyming. If you think about it he is a genius 😂
This is a Grammy song...mannnnn bravo....this was an awesome awesome song...and needed no bars...the message was powerful...this will change somebody's life
Becuz he not talking luxury cars, ho's in a strip club, or popping pillz...he talking bout real family struggles. Deez new age rappers dont undastand dat or dont undastand lyrically ability when they hear it.
@@shivaawasthi1129 It has all the reason to do with Eminem, sorry. They grew into the underground rap secne in tandem and continued communication throughout Em's acclaimed rise into popularity. No doubt , 100% , Royce is nice with a mic. I'm in no position to say he wouldn't have made it to radio without the convenience of a "friendly recommendation" . But.. He's obserdly predisposed to appear on Shadys radio station. There are numerous talented lyricists / songwriters of worthy caliber , capable of art. The difference is avalibility to a recognizable and consumable platform. The likes of which Royce has had readily at his disposal, through Eminem. Not to mention studio time , media connections , and a piggyback ride into Hollywood. This is mainly to be applied as his "step into the light" of pop culture. After which , Royce da 5'9 did his thing because we all know he's one of the best to ever try.
@@ChannelWaldo i know everything about royce and eminem relationship man some one literally said royce became big just becuz of eminem that's why i said then he changed his comment
I’m now 10 years deep into an addiction that has destroyed every relationship and career opportunity I ever had. It’s sad. Sometimes I’m surprised I’m even still here and have the health and sanity that I do have. Pray for me people. Please. Have to finally get clean for my family. Thank you Royce!
Bet my dude.. Royce has so much power in his music.. Bith my parents were addicts and were divorced and seperated before i was 2yrs old then both my step parents were addicts too and i followed the same path for years. Rap/hip-hop has been my saving grace frfr and artist like Royce have always helped me keep my head up and look forward
This song hit really hard for me. I have been clean now for a little over 10 years but I still think about Cocaine almost every day. I managed to get off but it took me 2 and a half years of jail to do it. I stay off the coke now because I love my family more than I love the drug. I never want to let my family know how often I think about it because I don't want them to worry but hearing this song is a reminder and it's almost a thank you from them when I listen to it. I doubt you will ever read this but honestly Royce, Thank You!! I have listened to this a few times now when I start thinking about it and my urges go away. It's been a long time since a song gave me goosebumps.
It's never going to be easy but it is always going to be worth it. Your family may never know how deep the struggle goes but they will 100% appreciate you did it for them. Remind yourself everyday that this is a battle, you are a soldier and this war is winnable!
Hey man, recovery takes so much courage so good on you. Never be afraid to seek out an addiction counselor- it's takes serious strength to take that step, but they are so helpful for your recovery path. I promise you wouldn't regret it. You've got this
This shit hits me where I need it too man, July 11th 2016... Last time I used cocaine, the next day I finally told my paps I was an addict and he got me into a rehab. Mad love Royce!
Im so happy that "Cocaine" has got nearly 2M views so fast..Royce has been blowing up and he truly deserves it..One of the greatest rappers of all time and his recognition has been long overdue..Keep supporting Royce
What a song and what a message. My father didn't choose me over cocaine, but I also didn't turn out an addict or inherit his pain. Big ups Royce for putting this wonderful piece of art out for the world to reflect on.
Cause sadly em got a fanbase which is not full of real hip hop listeners though majority of them are but still so many just skips part to em verse . And other than his fanbase nobody listens to real hip hop at all.. plus Royce had less collabs and beef drama like em had for like many times
@@thegoats6640 you should read again pal! I said that not every single fan of em is keen to listen real hip hop they just want to listen Eminem hip hop so they just skip the part of other great rappers. Em is real OG indeed man! I'm a Stan too, why would I say something negative about em 🐐
@@RajSharma-tf9lv yes I get u now. Actually Royce. It's dope asf. And I like him He is the real hip hop. For me eminam the gaot. And 5.9 it's really better then 1000 repper
So much respect for this guy, I see why he and Em are best mates. They are true icons and to once both be addicts and now recovered ones is such an inspiration.
My favorite song on the album AND one of my top ten favorite songs of all times. As an 80s baby who's father was also an abuser this is truly REALITY RAP!
For Royce to go out of his element....spoke to me heavy....R.I.Power Dad....my father chose "Cocaine"...not gonna lie....i cried to this. Thank you for this Da 5-9.👊🏾🙌🏾
@jack ramirez we're no longer together, besides giving him an allowance, wouldn't that be enabling? No thanks, I just learned he overdosed at someone's house with my children's half brother present. I'm not contributing to 💩
Daniel's Opinion do you listen to the words or just the sonics? Have you actually ever tried listening to the lyrics and what they mean that are used in travis scotts music?
@Daniel's Opinion Travis Scott has the same flow as all these new rappers ... "bla bla bla bla " *skrt skrt* "bla bla bla" *brr brr* "bla bla bla bla *its lit*. I couldn't be more bored w his lyrical content. And don't get me started on the actual meaning. It's like 20% of it he decided he wanted to actually write something around the filler and that shit is not cohesive at all, and barely rhymes when it does.
@Daniel's Opinion the difference between lyrical writing with wordplay, metaphor, some meaning, fitting together multiple rhyme schemes with different time signatures, crossing the barline, being inventive etc.... and just being aesthetic (good beats) is a vast one. I'm not dogging on his music as a whole because that is very subjective, but his writing is mad basic, and to me its very boring. I've heard his verse before he finishes it. Would love for him to prove me wrong one day. IF you could point to a Travis album that doesn't follow the rhyme scheme I laid out and boring cliche ad libs like " skrt skrt" and "its lit" then by all means, I'm open to it.
@Daniel's Opinion I never said that music has no place in hip hop. I'm simply saying the writing is bad, usually. Also good writing and vibing aren't mutually exclusive. You can vibe and also have depth for when you're listening. I bet less than half people listening to Kendrick actually listening consciously to what he saying but it's there without "killing the vibe" that people nod to.
A year under my belt with sobriety....this is an absolute masterpiece...addicts or non addicts out there can totally agree...thanks Royce for one of the best hip hop tracks of all time...hands down....
@ I normally agree with you, but when you name ur project the Book of Ryan, and have a very personal song like Cocaine, I'm thanking the human being the wrote it, not a persona.
Oh yes you are really on point. Nobody wants to hear real story telling anymore, just mumble mess. How did we even get here? I am so glad we still have some real talent left.
I’m losing my mind tryin to figure out how I inherit so much pain… I’m proud to say I’m an addict who inherited your pain…. Never been a joint that hit that personal Peace Royce Peace Peace homie
@@mvp1926 same bro and he's almost 60 but when I inherited the family addiction Gene I knew I wasn't going to do to my kids what he did to me and I'm 4 years clean bc of my parents mistakes and the love I have for my babies
This song always makes me feel emotional - it's beautiful and his voice is amazing His needs to be shared repeatedly, Royce gets better and better. Everything he’s on or puts out is crazy, lyrically he’s top 3.
My wife looked at me and just said, “this is something our daughter can say about you” Clean from Herion 7 years. Thanks for making this Royce! Always Loved You GAWD!
I grew up with an alcoholic father so I really relate to this song. Watching the video brought tears to my eyes, it’s so real. I’m in my 40’s now and I love my father . But I wish he would have chosen us over alcohol . I love Royce for writing this song
Got to see what its about dont knock it till you try it. Just dont let shit run you. Caffeine sugar pussy people get addicted to everything anything. Now cellphones. Smh
my mom died from a pulmonary embolism and suffocated to death 2 years ago, all from medical mispractice she wasnt put on bloodthinners after her susgery. she was 3 years clean and turned her whole life around and despite it all I would always see her on weekends and she gave me enough love for the rest of my life in those 22 years. 17 years from now she would be hitting 20 years too. She had been through her fair share of life and we always had each others back and loved each other unconditionally, thankyou Royce for making this beautiful song.
My dad died of an alcohol induced heart attack at 3am 24th Dec 2018. This song hurts me. I don't know if he literally did coke but he was a bouncer in his younger years until he had me at 30. I just did coke for first time in 2 years. Had to come here. I replayed "a lot of alcohol, problems with the law, but I have done better or same" over and over. My dad was a drinker, I've done more and managed to kick it. Thank you helping me express my grief.
"My daddy chose me over cocaine" is a line that hurt me more than i thought it would.
Amazing song.
This level of addiction is frightening. Choosing a substance over your own son... having 50$ and thinking about your score instead of getting your son a toy or something... you lose your soul.
Fuck there choices.
Choose I C P
Yea man that's a powerful statement the way he sets it up with the homeless guy earlier...
It’s in the process of saving me🙏
CursinSquirrel word!!
Royce really dropped one of the greatest hip-hop albums last year and everyone missed it
the world we live in. the media will never promote anything that will help the younger generations, most young ones are lost already and only want to hear songs promoting gang, sex, drugs and any other bullshit same as the media that will give this useless songs mass coverage. watch how many views the song has and go check lil pump and kanye shit song
Everyone lol
Agreed 👌🏻
That's cuz kids too are busy thinking that soulja boy and the cash me outside girl is good music.
they was busy decoding the mumling going on
I still remember my first time hearing this song a year ago.... just got back from rehab a week ago, 75 days clean & sober from Alcohol & Drugs.
I’m proud of you! Stay strong !
Naw Ghee thank you 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Keep up the good work man!!! You can do it. I have faith in you brother
stay strong man, im still struggling...
Victor Vanquish nice man. I’m sure you can keep this up no problem
8 years clean. From a former alcoholic and coke addict to hard working father of a 2 year old son. It's the legacy that's keeping me strong. Powerful song mr. Royce. 🙏
Salutations my G.
SALUTE
And a second son...I am blessed 🙏💯
Keep it strong brother. Want you to win!
@@SciarosuLOL continue strong always, KING! May you always find the strength to battle the fights that you're given! So glad to know you good.
You've been underrated all your career, Royce Da.

@Cpt BEARDless As in he is never really in the spotlight... unlike Drake and such
Cpt BEARDless I agree. He’s not underrated really, but he definitely get his deserved shine!
i am from istanbul and all we talk about my rap listening homies is fucking royce or em. love this guy, genius, pitch perfect, amazing.
I wish I could say I'm clean now, I'm still struggling with my addiction. This song hurts me, but it's what I need hear . I'll get there .
johnyruke .. nobody is perfect.. life is hard and addiction is tough. But it will get better. And you will get there. Just don’t give up 🙏
Gots to get there Jonyruke before times up homies
Keep going bro.
You will
johnyruke, Did you go into rehab?
Royce had minimal lyrics and still delivered a powerful message. So much said in less words.
so true it seemed like the song was so short but it just felt that way cause he got his message across so quickly with so few words. well done no doubt
FACTS!!
Uqinisile Mfw2 yikho u5'9 eyinja🙏🏾💯
Nah he had bars bro. The instrumental and chorus gave it the illusion that he delivered minimal lyrics.
It's not always about complex bars but the subject matter.
Unfortunately my parents couldn't make that SACRIFICE.. THANK GOD FOR GRANDMA!!
Same here! GRANDMA saved us
"...thanks for loving me more than cocaine.." 💔
Amazing song and amazing video!!
Comon ppl wake up, Royce deserves more than this!!
Yea...it sux..ihave friend with demons...and kids..it's hard seeing him that way....wasn't there a vid with dmx being put on the spot ..to choose fam or rehab...anyways great song...video was what I pictured
That line brought tears to my eyes, cause my pops didn't love me more than cocaine
One of my favourite songs on the album. 🔥🔥🙏
could you check my new song if you get a chance? royce is a huge inspiration of mine
If this does not reach 1m in 24hrs, people really dumb. Royce deserves better than this. He always be dropping fire. People sleeping hard,smh.
Aint nothin but facts, my brothers. As fire as "Summer on Lock" was, if I'm not wrong it took almost a whole month for the video to reach a million. Sad!

Shady XXI still plenty of dope MC’s out there just don’t see them in the mainstream as much...just off the top of my head, young dudes like Nick Grant, Oswin Benjamin, Mick Jenkins, Shawn Smith, Anoyd, Denzil Porter and Chris Rivers could hold their own on a track with a lot of the greats. It’s a shame they don’t get more shine but they’re definitely keeping lyricism alive🙏
So, nobody gonna talk about how absolutely perfect this beat and singing is, I feel the emotion through the beat perfect match for Royce lyrics💯👏🏽👌
Factz, I got chills brahhh
no offense but literally the whole comment section is about how this
Sounds like the weekend
Pac and Royce have songs that can make a grown man shed a tear or two.
Oh it's perfect, my new favorite song. Ffffn love it!!!!!@
I doubt you'll ever see this message, but...I know the making of this album was difficult and a struggle for you. It brought up some demons that were hard to deal with and sharing them took a stupendous amount of courage.
This album speaks to people in ways most art that gets made today just doesn't anymore. So thanks to you and everyone involved for doing this for all of us.
Damn Adam....I hope he reads this
I read it
Powerful song. I started doing cocaine at age 14. Ever since then it has been a part of my life I've been to jail because of it, and almost ruined my marriage. I am 28 now, and I am 4 months sober because I chose my family over cocaine. God bless
Stay strong my friend!! Stay strong ... love from Amsterdam X
God bless you and your family homie
Awesome. Respect.
Never give up mate. Respect!

I only just found this track today...
"I'm proud to say that I'm an addict who inherit your pain"
That's some of the realest shit i've ever heard. Royce has done it, again.
The way he sings "cocaine " Haunts the soul
3:04 yeah, ill never get over that one.
Feel that bro, only understanders will get that one
Alcohol was destroying my life and cocaine came hand in hand with it 9 month clean.
Now I have a clean life not even cigarettes.
Good on you lad. You only get 1 life. Enjoy it. Dont waste a second. We always have a choice 😎💪
@Michael Pryor Thanks man still going strong.
I just got off of opiates... mainly hydros, percs, dilaudid and fentynyl...
Managed to kick cigarettes as I was getting clean off of opiates.
It feels great to see someone else talking about getting clean.
Good for you bro, much love! I wish I could! 😞
Dilaudid and fentanyl were so painful to try and kick. But I was using IV both and cold turkey. 13 nights awake straight hell. I cannot even tell you. 14th night something came thru so I didn’t even quit. Boy did I sleep good that night tho. 5 months now
The song and the whole video is ABSOLUTELY touching and honest in so many ways. I could see this being a life-changing & self-reflecting video for some people which make them take a U-turn in life. The emotion in your rapping and especially in your singing brings the song so much more to life. Also, man you rhymed "alcohol" with "law" didn't expect that at all!
If you're reading this by any chance, big fan!
Random seeing you here lol
Book of Ryan is a album of him reflecting on his life. Kind of what I imagine Therapy is like. Dope album one of my favorite albums of all times.
Shits deep. Banger for sure
My father chose me over cocaine
TheRussianGenius dope comment man just a think ... alcohol doesn’t really rhyme with law but it’s the words before the ending rhyme which made those words sound like rhyming. If you think about it he is a genius 😂
I' m a huge fan of your music Royce Da 5'9'' The realism of this song from the first time I heard it was mind blowing!! Salute King Of The Mic!
This is a Grammy song...mannnnn bravo....this was an awesome awesome song...and needed no bars...the message was powerful...this will change somebody's life
@KaperCloud facts. She meant well but..
Dude why isn't this song trending...... Bcoz dude it's a treasure and not everyone can have a piece of it ..I am so glad I came across this
My thoughts as well
Cuz its not a negative song about busting guns or using drugs like its cool.
bhai ye US walo ka music ka taste hi bakwass hai. sala Gucci Gang has 900M views.
Becuz he not talking luxury cars, ho's in a strip club, or popping pillz...he talking bout real family struggles. Deez new age rappers dont undastand dat or dont undastand lyrically ability when they hear it.
dont expect this in INDIA.

@@ChannelWaldo so what if he is a friend of eminem ..this song deserves to play on the radio ... not that mum mumble jumbo shit
@@shivaawasthi1129 It has all the reason to do with Eminem, sorry. They grew into the underground rap secne in tandem and continued communication throughout Em's acclaimed rise into popularity.
No doubt , 100% , Royce is nice with a mic. I'm in no position to say he wouldn't have made it to radio without the convenience of a "friendly recommendation" .
But.. He's obserdly predisposed to appear on Shadys radio station.
There are numerous talented lyricists / songwriters of worthy caliber , capable of art. The difference is avalibility to a recognizable and consumable platform. The likes of which Royce has had readily at his disposal, through Eminem. Not to mention studio time , media connections , and a piggyback ride into Hollywood.
This is mainly to be applied as his "step into the light" of pop culture. After which , Royce da 5'9 did his thing because we all know he's one of the best to ever try.
@@ChannelWaldo i know everything about royce and eminem relationship man some one literally said royce became big just becuz of eminem that's why i said then he changed his comment

Royce hasnt been underrated in a decade. If you're referring to sales, you're thinking Overlooked or underappreciated, not Underrated.
Not just a views. A grammy!
I’m now 10 years deep into an addiction that has destroyed every relationship and career opportunity I ever had. It’s sad. Sometimes I’m surprised I’m even still here and have the health and sanity that I do have. Pray for me people. Please. Have to finally get clean for my family. Thank you Royce!
Stay strong. Prayers to you and your family. You are not alone. God bless. 🙏🏼❤️
This is deep majority of us came from a broke home. Let's raise the youth betta
It ain’t gonna happen. But let’s make damn sure OUR youth ain’t like the rest. At least we can do that.
Bet my dude.. Royce has so much power in his music.. Bith my parents were addicts and were divorced and seperated before i was 2yrs old then both my step parents were addicts too and i followed the same path for years. Rap/hip-hop has been my saving grace frfr and artist like Royce have always helped me keep my head up and look forward

Edward Shin checkout a rapper called edubble, his freestyle friday series to be exact
This song hit really hard for me. I have been clean now for a little over 10 years but I still think about Cocaine almost every day. I managed to get off but it took me 2 and a half years of jail to do it. I stay off the coke now because I love my family more than I love the drug. I never want to let my family know how often I think about it because I don't want them to worry but hearing this song is a reminder and it's almost a thank you from them when I listen to it. I doubt you will ever read this but honestly Royce, Thank You!! I have listened to this a few times now when I start thinking about it and my urges go away. It's been a long time since a song gave me goosebumps.
Grug crazy I’m bout to have my first born in a couple of months. Been using for ten years and I’m trying to stop completely
getting clean is the best way
Good luck on your journey
It's never going to be easy but it is always going to be worth it. Your family may never know how deep the struggle goes but they will 100% appreciate you did it for them. Remind yourself everyday that this is a battle, you are a soldier and this war is winnable!
Hey man, recovery takes so much courage so good on you. Never be afraid to seek out an addiction counselor- it's takes serious strength to take that step, but they are so helpful for your recovery path. I promise you wouldn't regret it. You've got this
Thanks for your honesty and yes it hit me too
This song makes me cry every time
This my favorite song off the album. The transition from The Who are you skit to this song is so powerful.
Then going in to Life is Fair was great. At the end of this video I can hear "Greg, Ryan take the dam garbage out" in my head lol
This shit hits me where I need it too man, July 11th 2016... Last time I used cocaine, the next day I finally told my paps I was an addict and he got me into a rehab. Mad love Royce!

What a song and what a message. My father didn't choose me over cocaine, but I also didn't turn out an addict or inherit his pain. Big ups Royce for putting this wonderful piece of art out for the world to reflect on.
I don't understand why hip hop doesn't respect Royce like J Cole or Kendrick
Cause sadly em got a fanbase which is not full of real hip hop listeners though majority of them are but still so many just skips part to em verse . And other than his fanbase nobody listens to real hip hop at all.. plus Royce had less collabs and beef drama like em had for like many times

So much respect for this guy, I see why he and Em are best mates. They are true icons and to once both be addicts and now recovered ones is such an inspiration.
Book of Ryan has gotten me thru tough times. I really relate to it.
My favorite song on the album AND one of my top ten favorite songs of all times. As an 80s baby who's father was also an abuser this is truly REALITY RAP!

It's called writing. New school "aesthetic" rappers should try it. Gives you meaning and purpose, not just currency.
Daniel's Opinion do you listen to the words or just the sonics? Have you actually ever tried listening to the lyrics and what they mean that are used in travis scotts music?
@Daniel's Opinion travis makes great beats. He's not a particularly great rapper
@Daniel's Opinion Travis Scott has the same flow as all these new rappers ... "bla bla bla bla " *skrt skrt* "bla bla bla" *brr brr* "bla bla bla bla *its lit*. I couldn't be more bored w his lyrical content. And don't get me started on the actual meaning. It's like 20% of it he decided he wanted to actually write something around the filler and that shit is not cohesive at all, and barely rhymes when it does.
@Daniel's Opinion the difference between lyrical writing with wordplay, metaphor, some meaning, fitting together multiple rhyme schemes with different time signatures, crossing the barline, being inventive etc.... and just being aesthetic (good beats) is a vast one. I'm not dogging on his music as a whole because that is very subjective, but his writing is mad basic, and to me its very boring. I've heard his verse before he finishes it. Would love for him to prove me wrong one day. IF you could point to a Travis album that doesn't follow the rhyme scheme I laid out and boring cliche ad libs like " skrt skrt" and "its lit" then by all means, I'm open to it.
@Daniel's Opinion I never said that music has no place in hip hop. I'm simply saying the writing is bad, usually.
Also good writing and vibing aren't mutually exclusive. You can vibe and also have depth for when you're listening. I bet less than half people listening to Kendrick actually listening consciously to what he saying but it's there without "killing the vibe" that people nod to.
Give this song the credit it deserves, big up to royce for sharing in such a beautiful way.
