To me, the broken mirror is so symbolic. The reflection of himself could be him seeing what he didn’t expect himself to become... The piece of a mirror could show that he isn’t complete and that there are other pieces missing... The blood could reflect both the pain and the emotion of what happened... Seeming like the only broken one from what’s happened...
Andy is KILLIN IT. Speaking that truth. Talking about that human condition. Identifying with people. Keeping It 100. Being relatable and relevant. This is a dope cut.
Im glad you SAID the "d" word. I'm glad you're not afraid to show your imperfections and inconsistencies. Im glad you're here pouring your heart out with us and getting everything off of your chest , using the art God has given you to do it. I'm glad your Christian walk is not OURS. and I'm glad that its not our responsibility to repent for you when you do wrong, and I'm glad that you already know what to do when you do wrong in ANY case. Repentance isn't anything new. We always assume if someone does something we don't agree with, now they're automatically hellbound. ANY sin is one repentance and forgiveness away. Thank you for your honesty my g.
He has the best Dad in the world, The Father in heaven. When he realizes God is his daddy those chains are coming off. No man can truly be the dad we all need, only Jesus.
This is very emotional. It's Tough for Andy,But i understand him. At the age of three my parents divorced. Its tough.very very tough.But im glad to know im not the only one.
This always brings me to tears.... I'm in the same situation. Wishing just once he would pull it together. But it never happens... Keep speaking truth Andy. You're helping people get through tough times.
This song hits me hard. No one understands the pain in me my dad has caused. But my strength is in Jesus. He is my eternal father. I find my peace and acceptance in his love.
I understand what was said but can I say something in the mist of it all. Andy Mineo is in a hard place in his life. So, outside of his choice of words let’s pray his strength in the Lord. Let’s pray that he takes care of his good thing that God has blessed him with. There are so many other things to consider. Let’s all lift his family and all other families that are going through....let’s lift them up in prayer in Jesus name....please don’t condemn him. Our job as fishermen are to bring them to Christ and let God fillet them. Even when they’re already in the boat...bless all of you.
Woah. This deeply touched my heart! I pray the love of your eternal Father will fill any void and remove any pain you still feel ♥️ My words can never be enough or express enough of what I feel right now, but the Lord knows.
I'm going to say thank you my name is Wayne I'm from London UK and a Christian man your music got to me so much I miss my dad can't see him I miss my mum can't see her only got to trust in God
“They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, “All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!”” John 8:7 NLT
This is so amazing because my fiancé’s father wasn’t present in her life, and on our wedding day she doesn’t think he’ll be there and I’m literally in tears because this song just showed me the pain that she could be experiencing and i never realized it before . I’m going to do my best to make our day perfect for her because there’s missing people in her picture and that’s somthing i can’t replace. Edit: her father showed up, it was a magical day. Truly a blessing that they had that day together and the first,probably last, father daughter dance.
Some people's reaction in the comments to the word damn is why others are turned off from Christianity. Some people are too quick to judge others and slow to empathy. Listen to the pain Andy is in. "Gosh darn it" just doesn't cover it.
Thank you Andy for be vulnerable for us! Stepping out in faith on the water.. No matter any negative nonsense that's written here, you keep running your race! You're in my prayers! To those out there of you who are ready to criticize, take a look at what Jesus said when they ate the grain, when He healed on the sabbath, at who He shared meals with, at Zacchaeus, and at the criminal beside Him on the cross, who went with Jesus when He died, and what He said to the disciples about the followers casting out demons in His name. I pray that when you do read these passages that your heart is convicted and that you grow in love! THE LORD KNOWS Andy's heart and HE KNOWS YOURS TOO! God bless you all!
“For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” Matthew 6:14-15 ESV God blessed me with an ability to forgive through a trial in my life, before that I had no forgiveness and darkness filled that spot. At times I still struggle to forgive but praise the Lord he continues to save me from that snare. I’m still learning true biblical forgiveness through the eyes of the Lord. I pray that the Lord gives me a deeper understanding and joy in forgiveness. 🙏❤️✝️
For this of you reading this comment section in disbelief know this: your “strength” in faith and ability to handle certain things should not be used to make those who are weak “stumble”. At the end of the day this Christian walk is about love period. But woe to those of you who troll in order to cause confusion. Don’t be childish, grow up in your faith.
Man, I'm feeling this song in so many ways. I'm just grateful that me and my dad had the opportunity to rebuild our relationship before he passed on. And more importantly, I'm glad my dad came to know Jesus as his Lord and Savior.
Real deep...Don't take it personally...Don't hurt yourself because someone else issues....Sometimes it has nothingr to do with us, it's their guilt, sin, childhood hurts, demons they're fighting themselves, instead of giving their issues to Jesus....At the end of your wedding, he at least he texted you and that was LOVE and a prayer answered...keep praying for your father, God is working on him Andy Mineo
READ IF YOU WRITE LYRICS OR WANT TO sometime: change in rhyme equates to change in topic its soooo subtle too! this song is the dopiest example and really make me appreciate what God did with Andy through this album. Get in the word and stay rooted in it. ✌🕊🕊
The broken mirror and the blood is so symbolic....the broken bond between him and his dad. The blood means that God can bring them back, or it just add emphasis to Andy's pain.
Andy, I don't know if you will ever see this but I got married 7 days ago and my father didn't show up either.... it's like you were watching my heart when you were singing your lyrics. Thank you.
This is a superb video, I view it as God holding us in his hand and Jesus Christ died and was wounded for us but He refuses to let us go. We are lost and hurt but His blood will redeem and restore us.
When you have a relationship with a person, you give them permission to be human. When there is no relationship with a person you will judge every behavioral thing they do because you don't care for the pain in the heart. The people criticizing Andy for the word "damn" over listening to the pain (which most people relate too, not having a father) of this creative track is preposterous. If your mother was expressing the pain of her father abandoning her, would you criticize every word she uses or hear her heart? Religious people make it hard to be friends with them because they are spiritual police instead of trying to understand the heart of the person. Most religious Christians listen to correct NOT listen to hear. ✌🏼
Andy shows his whole heart to y'all and all y'all gotta say is "he cussed".... Y'all might as well be just like his father, but then again so am I, because I am a sinner...
This song is Soooo DEEP & RELATABLE!!!! Males and Females can relate to it depending on the own personal experience(s) with their Mom or Dad! The Beauty in this song, for me, is when two people Love each other enough, nothing or nobody can stop them from being together and progressing/growing/going to higher levels together, not even a Father's or Mother's blessings/love, or lack thereof, can shatter or uproot that(What God put together....) CONGRATULATIONS MR. & MRS. ANDY MINEO!!!! The two of you are ONE, now, and the two of you are still whole!!!! If life throws you lemons make lemonade(Take the bitter with the sweet, that won't destroy you, it will help y'all become Stronger & Wiser(GROW)!!!!! LEMONADE, that cool refreshing drink!!!! I wish you two Blessings on Blessings!!!!!😇🙏🤲🥰💯😍💌💝❤🧡💛💚💫💙💜🤎👍👍✌
One day I suggested this song in my car with my dad my sister and my mom..My mom said no because my dad can relate to this so we put on another song but then the song started to play..I saw that my dad started to cry in the middle of the song..I felt guilty..I cant believe he let that song play if he knew how heavy it was for him..
I am disappointed in all of these so called "Christians" who are getting so worked up over the word "damn" GROW UP. This dude is pouring out his heart and soul to the word. The best you can do is be supportive.
Man I feel for this guy. To not have a powerful figure like a father in his life is hurtful. I pray for Mineo that he will realize that even when his earthly father abandons him, his heavenly father will NEVER forget him.
To all the young men/women who never had a father in their life like me, or those who had a father that was there but wasn't really there when you needed him. This song is too powerful. Holding back the tears. 😢😢😢
beatuiful song and video. God is the only father we need and loving our parents is expected. loving those who dont give it back or just halfway does anything is how most of the world is with God! Remarkable the parable and truth of the matter how God loves us even when we do the same to him as his dad acted. God Bless u got many prayers coming
WOW this song makes my chest hurt. The pain that is felt is perfectly worded. "I know it sounds dumb but I thought that he might come" EVERY SINGLE TIME. That is the reason I won't consider getting married the thought of him not showing up makes me tear up. I'm still waiting on my dad to come see me after brain surgery, it will be 4 years in July.
Wow Andy it is so real and understandable. A dad is a man’s mirror, because you are looking for affection in your first male rolemodel in your life as a man. I’ve been struggeling for a long time with the fact of an uninterested father. For me it helped a lot to come to the conclusion that he wasnt always unwilling to meet my needs as a son, but that is was often powerlessness of his character that was formed by his relationship with his father. That was a crucial step for me to no longer have this need of confirmation by him. Once i left that urging need i could let God fill up those empty spaces with pictures he showed me of Him standing next to a game i was playing, chearing me on, applauding for me, while i was not even scoring. (My dad was always pushing me to getting things done, very perfectionistic, by which i always felt a pressure, instead of being good the way i am) so God cleared that up for me, filling painfull spaces with another image of him as a Father. I hope you may experience that too. It made me able to step out to my dad and instead of claiming the love from him that i needed, i could love him the way he always needed and maybe never experienced from his dad. Although in the beginning i felt: you should do this to me, you are the elder man, it is unfair! But pushing through that struggle it made me love him. And i saw the effect in him, he changed by me loving him. He even called me up for the first time in his life. And thats a great gift. God does wonderful things. He can make us be the change. Thanks for sharing your fulnerable raw story, i appreciate you a lot!
This is a great song. I lost my father around this time some years ago. So this song really resonates with me. I don't know if these comments ever get read, but thank you. I pray that God blesses your marriage.
I always told my family on this album you could hear the emotions from this , truly blessed to see how far this man had pour his heart out of his music, definitely blessed that even in the hurt he still sees the blessings ! @andy bro keep going 🔥
Jose 619z Andy cussed that don't mean it's right. Ephesians 4:29, "Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers."
Malik Jones Malik Jones my nigga pullback. You on every comment ain’t you? Just refreshing hoping to catch something! 😂 And who deems a curse word to be “bad”? Just another word to express the degree of the emotion. My nigga you tripping TRIPPING!
For whom it may concern: Careful, seeking your parents love over Christ's love can become your idol to the point we stop seeking after God. It's hard but ask the Lord to help you forgive. I love the scripture Psalm 68:5. Not trying to delegitimize the pain of an absentee parent. But that pain will control you, become a heavy burden and prevent you from seeing the blessing of Jesus in your life. Speaking from personal experience.
I pray Andy Mineo comes fully back to Jesus. So much compromise and this industry presents so much pressure . But I can’t support anymore. Prayers your way man🙏🏽
Are you fr leaving because he said damn? So what he made a mistake. But if you would grow up with a father that was never really there for you would understand more. He made a mistake get over and co tongue to enjoy the music.
You have no idea how much this song means to me and prob never will my dad was never around for my life I’ve only met him a few times and it’s always been a struggle with just my mom and I I just want you to know on the slightest chance you see this that I appreciate you so much and the work that you put into your songs is noticed you’re a role model to me
Love the transparency deep bro! when I found out I was having a daughter I was scared to be a father because.. I never had one. Also I didn’t know “damn” was a cuss word. I don’t have a habit of cussing but I often use the word damn as a similar word to dang. Even analysing it now I can’t see it as a cuss word it just sounds like a “darn it!”
Loveee You Andy!! I could really feel the broken mirror in your hand. Youre holding onto your fathers fuck ups like theyre a piece of candy even though its causing you so much pain. You put yourself second, third, maybe even last.....hoping he`ll turn around & see your cry. Too many fathers never turn around.
... Be positive brother. Your father has his own time of maturing, but you know better. You will be rewarded justly by your heavenly father. In the Bible it says there is a reward system in heaven, there are classes. Remember to store your treasures in heaven. Be smart, positive, & strong. God Bless you.
I’m just gonna be honest… I can’t even relate to this song, but it STILL hits hard. It’s like invokes emotions that I’ve never even felt. Amazing song. It’s amazing that he was willing to be vulnerable and share his story in such an open manner.
Deep and profound lyrics that are raw and cutting to the soul. We carry similar wounds from our fathers. As a father and husband I need God's grace and mercy every day to demonstrate love to my wifey and kids.
Wow. This took me on a ride for real. The feeling of watching this visual was so tangible my hand hurt. And this, "Take the cord to me heart and just unplug you." Wow.
*SoOooOoO I don't watch Love & Hip-hop but was bored one night & watched. This song came on. I spent 10 mins trying to type the few words I heard into my Google Search. Well, I made it. This is the dopest beat and grooviest song ever.*
Can you imagine being Andy's father and seeing this video?
sucks to be that guy
..who knows the same view... E M
I feel bad for Andy cuz he didn’t come to his wedding 😭
What a dad…
Sucks to be him, I would def send this song to my biological dad who was NEVER there.
The longer he reflects, the more he bleeds. Wow.
Avery Smith it’s so powerful right?
Andy always finds a way of reminding me why he's my favorite rapper
Slyy fax
me too
Slyy same

To me, the broken mirror is so symbolic.
The reflection of himself could be him seeing what he didn’t expect himself to become...
The piece of a mirror could show that he isn’t complete and that there are other pieces missing...
The blood could reflect both the pain and the emotion of what happened...
Seeming like the only broken one from what’s happened...
💯
Or maybe he was working on a budget
facebook.com/gabriel.oree/posts/10211778237835631
I think the mirror represents he look like his father so he can't forget about him wherever he go.lool. I dont know
Deep..
You killed it Andy. Its raw and real...
Andy is KILLIN IT. Speaking that truth. Talking about that human condition. Identifying with people. Keeping It 100. Being relatable and relevant. This is a dope cut.

I just lost my dad April 23. 2018. This gave me some peace. And peace of mind
He has the best Dad in the world, The Father in heaven. When he realizes God is his daddy those chains are coming off. No man can truly be the dad we all need, only Jesus.
I think Andy is on another level folks.
This is very emotional.
It's Tough for Andy,But i understand him.
At the age of three my parents divorced.
Its tough.very very tough.But im glad to know im not the only one.
This always brings me to tears.... I'm in the same situation. Wishing just once he would pull it together. But it never happens... Keep speaking truth Andy. You're helping people get through tough times.
Hope things are better man.

I'm going to say thank you my name is Wayne I'm from London UK and a Christian man your music got to me so much I miss my dad can't see him I miss my mum can't see her only got to trust in God
Sorry to hear your heart hurt on this track man! Praying for you brotha, God bless.
eric jones he made the bitter song on his heroes for sale album about his dad...
Ant Hallback....... yea I heard that one heroes is a dope album too!
eric jones my prayers are still with you
Motivation Theory That one is dope too! It got me towards healing that I wouldn’t have had without it
Andy been talkin to his father for yrs. This goes to show no matter how old u are a parents love is the ultimate feeling after God.
“They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, “All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!””

This is so amazing because my fiancé’s father wasn’t present in her life, and on our wedding day she doesn’t think he’ll be there and I’m literally in tears because this song just showed me the pain that she could be experiencing and i never realized it before . I’m going to do my best to make our day perfect for her because there’s missing people in her picture and that’s somthing i can’t replace.
Edit: her father showed up, it was a magical day. Truly a blessing that they had that day together and the first,probably last, father daughter dance.
Some people's reaction in the comments to the word damn is why others are turned off from Christianity. Some people are too quick to judge others and slow to empathy. Listen to the pain Andy is in. "Gosh darn it" just doesn't cover it.
TimB0zzZ lol i think gosh darn it is worse than damn lolol
Same people that praise Kanye and Jay-Z. Screw that. Judge no one but by the fruit they're bearing.
Thank you Andy for be vulnerable for us! Stepping out in faith on the water.. No matter any negative nonsense that's written here, you keep running your race! You're in my prayers!
To those out there of you who are ready to criticize, take a look at what Jesus said when they ate the grain, when He healed on the sabbath, at who He shared meals with, at Zacchaeus, and at the criminal beside Him on the cross, who went with Jesus when He died, and what He said to the disciples about the followers casting out demons in His name. I pray that when you do read these passages that your heart is convicted and that you grow in love!

OMG! That was so...cut to the heart. You can't get no more real than that. When will we all realize how IMPORTANT fathers are to a child?
The broken mirror and the blood is so symbolic....the broken bond between him and his dad. The blood means that God can bring them back, or it just add emphasis to Andy's pain.
Shout out to Andy's Musical and Visual creativity from this project. And this song was brave, man.

Low key fight tears back Every time I hear that raw emotion in your stories this not rap this is art

How could you do such a thing???
Truth hurts
God doesn’t ask us to be perfect, people do. God asks us to love Him with our whole heart.
Keeping it real, Mineo, I’m glad for that.
Man makes my heart heavy for my son. He showed me this song & said ifs his favor off Andy’s EP.
I am disappointed in all of these so called "Christians" who are getting so worked up over the word "damn" GROW UP. This dude is pouring out his heart and soul to the word. The best you can do is be supportive.
Anyone who had a deadbeat dad can relate. Thanks for bringing it 100
Hey Andy, thanks for your honesty. It’s helping people.
"everyone smiles for the family photo but everyone aint always in the picture" wow
I can’t stop watching this 🥺

But that pain will control you, become a heavy burden and prevent you from seeing the blessing of Jesus in your life. Speaking from personal experience.
Heartbreaking song, man.😔
Damn bro! you can't say this ain't the Spirit at work, cuz that right there is work, Digging in deep with that shovel
Bruh... really felt the song...
HOLY SMOKES!!!!!!!! THIS IS EXACTLY HOW I FELT AT MY WEDDING.
This song might be one of the most deep songs I’ve ever heard… everything from the production, lyrics, and the flow is perfect!
Most underrated song on the planet
Wow. I'm just getting to this EP on new year's day, 2020. Just wow. Thank you Father God. Praying for father and son.
First time I showed this to my mom she cried so thx Andy
Really appreciate that u put ur feelings into ur songs
I pray Andy Mineo comes fully back to Jesus. So much compromise and this industry presents so much pressure . But I can’t support anymore. Prayers your way man🙏🏽
hey whoa andy is fully in Jesus, what're you saying?
LaRae Monét i really hope its not because of the word damn...
Are you fr leaving because he said damn? So what he made a mistake. But if you would grow up with a father that was never really there for you would understand more. He made a mistake get over and co tongue to enjoy the music.
You have no idea how much this song means to me and prob never will my dad was never around for my life I’ve only met him a few times and it’s always been a struggle with just my mom and I I just want you to know on the slightest chance you see this that I appreciate you so much and the work that you put into your songs is noticed you’re a role model to me
Love the transparency deep bro! when I found out I was having a daughter I was scared to be a father because.. I never had one.
Also I didn’t know “damn” was a cuss word. I don’t have a habit of cussing but I often use the word damn as a similar word to dang. Even analysing it now I can’t see it as a cuss word it just sounds like a “darn it!”
No word is really a cuss word because theyre all used a mesningless fillers. (Unless you use Gods name in vain, then that's a problem)
Loveee You Andy!! I could really feel the broken mirror in your hand. Youre holding onto your fathers fuck ups like theyre a piece of candy even though its causing you so much pain. You put yourself second, third, maybe even last.....hoping he`ll turn around & see your cry. Too many fathers never turn around.
This song is damn good... Damn relatable... Damn honest
The singing part with the snapping, in the middle of the song is my favorite part. Great song overall. Beautifully composed. Praise God.
Wow. Andy keeping it real. Don't get legalistic on him. This dude is as genuine as it comes!!!
This song is incredible. Same deal with Andy. Incredible.
Deep. Raw. Sad. Unfiltered love heavily garnished with pain. I feel you, Andy! 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾
Andy don’t write raps anymore. He writes books. Stories. Ones that a genre couldn’t tell.
Powerful. Andy's best work since never land
This is so deep! The emotions in this song make me feel it so much!
Some of the best hip hop released in the passed decade 🔥
hip-hop real raw lyrical era rap play word flow vbes logic
There's like an entire minute left of the song and it's the most powerful part.
This is one of Andy's best tracks.
Love and hip hop bought me here!
POWERFUL. Yo Andy, keep doing you. You're making an impact in so many lives including mine. Your artistry and vision is second to NONE. God bless fam!
... Be positive brother. Your father has his own time of maturing, but you know better. You will be rewarded justly by your heavenly father. In the Bible it says there is a reward system in heaven, there are classes. Remember to store your treasures in heaven. Be smart, positive, & strong. God Bless you.
Was not emotionally ready for this. Wow.
I’m just gonna be honest… I can’t even relate to this song, but it STILL hits hard. It’s like invokes emotions that I’ve never even felt. Amazing song. It’s amazing that he was willing to be vulnerable and share his story in such an open manner.
Andy is just being real and i love you for that man
Deep and profound lyrics that are raw and cutting to the soul. We carry similar wounds from our fathers. As a father and husband I need God's grace and mercy every day to demonstrate love to my wifey and kids.
Wow. This took me on a ride for real. The feeling of watching this visual was so tangible my hand hurt. And this, "Take the cord to me heart and just unplug you." Wow.
*SoOooOoO I don't watch Love & Hip-hop but was bored one night & watched. This song came on. I spent 10 mins trying to type the few words I heard into my Google Search. Well, I made it. This is the dopest beat and grooviest song ever.*
Wow. I love how the mirror is almost in the shape of a heart...and it's bleeding. Awesome job on this one Andy. #reallyrics
I love the visual 💖💖 it's our pain & brokenness there's beauty in our brokenness
