do you know what keeps people going, what keeps all of HUMANITY in general going, Faith, faith that everything will get better, life is faith, the universe wasn't created from a random explosion in the middle of nowhere, just like how a house has a maker, the universe also has one. Look around you, the plants, trees, your eyes, feet, and the un-replaceable brain. How the earth is placed in just the right spot for humans to survive, any closer, we burn up, any further, we end up like neptune. Does that sound like luck to you. The water cycle, allows us to have and endless supply of water, the sun allows us to have an endless source of thermal energy, rain allows us to grow plants. why do people refuse to see the truth, its because they don't want to except the fact that there is somebody that they will never be able to surpass. Do you want to know why , because we are made in gods image. Around the time the bible was written, barley any people said the sun was round, and at the time it was just a theory, but what does the bible say. It says the earth is round. Before people had EVEN DISCOVERED gravity, they had all sorts of ideas about how the earth was held, but what does the bible say, the earth is suspended on nothing. If no human had discovered these things yet, who told them, it was the word of god.

Dont give up on God brother. He is always near us during the good and bad times. Despite this we are in a fallen realm full of sin and pain, and thus separated from him. So what must be done to restore fellowship? First we must be genuine about our own sins. Look at the 10 commandments and see how you stack up, it is a mirror showing us who we are in the eyes of God. We have all broken his laws and deserve his wrath. But at the same time he is rich in mercy and loves us so much that he came in the flesh, lived a sinless life on our behalf, was gruesomely tortured and mocked by his own creation, died a horrific death on the cross for US filthy sinners, and rose from the dead proving he is the great I Am. He paid the fine for our death sentence thus satisfying God's justice. Once we realize our sinful nature, we must repent for our sins, and put our full trust in the savior Jesus Christ like you'd put faith in a parachute. Do this and He will grant you eternal life, a new heart, and fellowship will be restored, not by our good works, but by his grace and mercy. That is His promise. Humbly ask him to reveal himself to you. Think about this. If you have a Bible I invite you to read the book of John. Jesus loves you, I love you, Godbless.

Nah all the questions are easily answered if you actually understand what faith is. The world is so succumbed to sin and they don't even realize it. Why isn't God talking to you is a good question, have you ever thought that you only talk to him when you need something? You probably don't search for him and try to have a relationship with our creator and then when things are going bad you just expect God to make everything all perfect. That's not the way it works and I hope you continue prayer and your search for him because we are living in the end times as in Revelations and God's judgement is coming sooner than you'd think.

This song the part where he said "I had a dream I was walking with the devil, I dont remember how it feels, but I swear I remembered the smell" when I was struggling with crippling depression after I was diagnosed with MS. I would have dreams of seeing the devil and I would remember the smell just like he said and wake up to still smelling it. some mornings i woke up with 3 scratch marks over my chest on the side of my heart. I was struggling with belief in god because I felt so much pain from my depression and diagnosis. Until one day I broke down and got on my knees and said I would end it all if the pain didnt end that night while praying to god. After that night of having and instant feeling of peace and feeling a hand touch my shoulder. It changed my life. But just hearing him talk aout remembering the smell hit me so fucking hard. Amazing song.
Gazer Vic Why Why should he give us what we want and listen to us and all he wants is our hearts and our love and we deny him that we would rather watch women shake their ass and make money then go to God
"When your having these conversations don't bring up politics, don't bring up religion cause all that's going to do is seperate us." -Laidback 👌well said
I have a soft spot for these types of songs. As a non-believer and always wondered how you could be in a position to not question these things youre taught. Songs like Hopsin, joyner lucas and a few others really changed my perception of the believer. This and "Book of revelation" by Dax are amongst the best ive heard. They have always helped me Segway this genre into my more mainstream friends music tastes
This was the first time I've heard of Dax and I must say he has said everything that every believer has said at some point in their life. I think this was a brilliant and well-thought-out video and his lyrics were heartfelt.
This song really hits me differently, the questions he brings up in the lyrics are very important and its like you said, people are afraid to ask them. Dax's music has always helped me so imma give this video a BIG thumbs up. Keep it up my man
Hey man congrats on you opening for dax! Heres to you making bigger and better moves in 2020! The utmost positive vibes to you my dude! #firesquad4life!
When Dax started listing all the things talking about where were you God when I was going through all this, why weren’t you there, why weren’t you answering… God doesn’t answer in our timing, He answers in His timing because His timing is always perfect.
Yo bro Idk if anyone had told you but I'm a young 15 old boy and I wanna say I'm so damn proud of where you have gotten like I'm pretty wise for a 15 year old been through a lot of crap in my life and your Reaction videos make me laugh and feel better. Just thinking about this song and saw you had a reaction to it and wanted to see what you say and how you gonna interpret the song it's so much more to the song. Thank you so much for your content. And I'm proud of you.
Yooo. Your reaction and body language is so suiting, u can see the g listening to the words.... preach it Dax, this the new g we need to bring back life to hip hop, and to this world.. this gunna is beyond any artist out now. He had the balls to speak his own fight, much love for this....
wow didnt even took time to start the reaction just to say its awesome you doing the intro of dax show man keep up the good work and im sure youll be very successfull :)!
Not only is this my favorite dax track, it's one of my favorite tracks of all time. Just a man talking to God, nothing more, nothing less. A lot of people DO NOT use religion in their art for these specific reasons alone, often. He managed to do it and it's PURE and AWESOME in the most literal sense of the word. God bless layedbakdfr and all those who may see this message.
majesticmal23 mysterious ways? What about the children who have died of starvation and homelessness, who died afraid? When they asked for god's help, where was he then? What about the poor? They just don't get help because what, they aren't holy? They aren't good enough? What about the people who were hated across the world, and asked god for guidance? Did god just not care? Did he want them to die? The "mysterious ways" of this unimaginably massive theory is udder garbage. Maybe, if god actually cared for everyone, the people I cared for would still be alive.
@Matheus Coelho I agree with you. But people might get offended with the way you just straight up said it. I am not a believer even tho I was baptised as a christian/Catholic (not 100% sure of which one atm lmao) but I identify as athiest. People get confused about that but it's quite simple, I was born, baptised because my dad wanted me to be (even though my mom didn't believe), and I grew up to just not believe, never went to church, never prayed. I didn't waste my time doing it, instead I live through the pain with the help of my family. I don't need God, even if there is one. Once I have the people I love and care about I'm ok, and that it where my faith lies ❤️
Finally took time to watch this reaction and it was straight 🔥🔥🔥. Hits just like Ill Mind 7. Shout out to Dax for speaking from the heart on this one. 🔥🔥🔥SQUAD
This is the song I wrote called “Dear God”. I’ve never heard this song by Dax until just now, I think it’s cool the name of both of our songs is called “Dear God” yet I didn’t know this song until just now. Song intro: I know I haven’t talked to you like I used to, I know I’ve been distant from you, I’ve blocked you out a few times and I haven’t been the best child. I’m sorry for everything I’ve done, from sinning to all the bad I’ve caused. It’s hard to stay good when it feels like the devil is weighing you down, like he’s sickin demons on me so it’s hard to make you proud. I’ve struggled ever since I was a little kid, I’d say about 8 years old cause that’s about the time my mom left. Blamed the divorce on me because I felt like I never did the right thing. It’s hard at a young age when your parents split, felt like everything was your fault because they didn’t say I love you before they left. A couple years pass and you see her out in public, try talkin to her but she ignores you and walks away like she wasn’t the one who gave birth to you. Now I’m like... Chorus: Dear God, why ain’t you helpin me? Can’t you hear me crying at night asking you what’s wrong with me? I wish you’d put your hand on me to let me know you’re there for me, maybe whisper to me so I know you’re listening. Dear God, I need your help down here, can’t you see these kids bullyin me? I wasn’t popular, I was quiet, so I guess that’s a good reason to pick on me. Dear God, can’t you see I’m hurtin badly, crying in the bathroom because I feel like I am unworthy. Dear God! Now let’s fast forward 7-8 years. I’m almost 16, things are bad again so I found some things to distract me from the world. Everyone knows me now because they see me at parties. Thinking I’m cool because I’m gettin so messed up I can barely see. “Yeah man pass me the blunt, and I’ll take a few shots when I’m done” until I found out it was all laced with pills. Almost overdosed, but God saved my life. Puked it all up and I slept for three days, but I didn’t learn my lesson. Yeah I quit goin to parties, but I still did it on my own. Drank almost everyday, even popped a few pills along the way. A few months pass and I’m sober and clean, but the depression hits only this time I’m hearin things. The voices don’t stop, they’re fillin my head with negative thoughts. How do you kill the demon without hurtin yourself? So you see where I’m gettin to, yeah I tried killing myself. Cuts all up and down my arms, even my legs. Now it was time for me to say hello to the “psycho place” stayed for 2 weeks, but I lied and said I was alright so I could leave. Now everyone is happy I’m home, but where were y’all when I needed you there for me? Chorus: Dear God, why ain’t you helpin me? I tried takin my own life and you wasn’t there for me. Did you hear me crying out to you askin to please guide me? I wish you’d put your hand on me to let me know you’re there for me, maybe whisper to me so I know you’re listening. Dear God, I need your help down here, can’t you see that I am struggling? It feels like I am fighting this battle alone, show yourself to me. Dear God! Time passes, now I’m living with my sister. The whole family is scared because dad is 100% on the ventilator. A few weeks pass and the doctors don’t think he’s gonna make it, we all start prayin and plan for the worst that could happen. All of a sudden we get a call, it’s the doctor, he says dad is makin progress after all. The only reason is because they put him in a coma, so we made plans for when he gets home. They tell us it’ll be a long process, he has to learn how to walk and talk again. But he died for 13 minutes. I start talkin to God, I doubted him but he proved me wrong. Dad is awake and healthier than ever, now he’s well enough to come home. Dad and I are having a deep conversation, he says don’t doubt God, he was with me the whole process, he saved me and took my lung cancer with him. I started cryin, I couldn’t believe what he was sayin. I talked to God and I said... Chorus: Dear God, I’m sorry for all the times I doubted you, now I realize it was me not trying to hear you. You showed yourself to me and I didn’t notice it, I promise for now on I’ll stand next to you. Give you all of my fears and pain because I finally understand what you can do. Dear God, I believe in you, I’m keepin my faith and I’ll do good for you. I’ll spread and praise your name and word until I can’t talk anymore, Dear God!
I’m 3years late to this thread just found Dax a few weeks ago. But OMG your ending commentary is fire 🔥. God is our Daddy and we should be able to talk to him real like. Not the sanitizing version of a prayer but deep heart felt emotional cry out to Him. Man this has fired my walk back up.
My vote was passed the first verse. I would like to quote my uncle who is the leader of a church, "Your relationship with God is between you and him, what may be a sin to someone else doesn't have to be a sin for you."
I mean that’s kind of cap, you can’t say murder is a sin to him but not to you, we are told what sins are, we don’t get to dictate what we perceive as sins as they’re sins regardless
bro when i hear a new song like this one , and i love it, i hear it over and over...but not until i come into your channel, that i actually start getting the lyrics....great job bro...respect...been following for a while and have recommended your channel to several friends
This was a very real video and reaction, I’m glad that you addressed this with such an open mind, on these type of topics. Very rare to see this now a days. Big up DFR, good for you bro!
Look at it this way he heard you he cares. He only tests the strong he push you into success because you're the most focused when you're at the bottom struggling. Love from the south keep it real
I am an atheist and this song still hits me right in the feels. This is one powerful song. You can really feel the message Dax is trying to send here. 10/10.
Do you believe that there’s any creator?because even if I wasn’t a Christian I feel like I’d have some type of beliefs of a higher power I mean just look at nature it looks like a painted canvas and thing about how small we are there is a star that is so much bigger than the earth of earth was equivalent to the size of a golf ball it would be equivalent to all of Texas 26 inches deep full of golf balls to make that star and where so much smaller than the earth so just imagine how tiny we are
@@journey2mma998I know I’m 2 years late. They said their Atheist, so they don’t believe in a god or higher power. If they were agnostic, it would kind of be like believing and not believing in a higher power.
I've gotta say, this one hit me HARD! The fact that LayedBakDFR understood how I felt and was saying the shit I was thinking was amazing. Appreciate you. When I tried to talk to people about my questions they said you ain't a believer and you got no faith! We all got questions, let's keep it real. THIS SONG IS HEAVY!
People be like: "Did you not know it's illegal to make another track about religion because Hopsin and Joyner already made one? Illegal to still have questions, illegal to state them publicly, illegal to hope for answers."
I just have to say, dude I'm alone in this world so I look at you as a friend. I'm a guitarist, pianist, singer and rapper so I have a versatile music mind set but seriously you help me through so much thank you layedbak you are an inspiration
if anyone thinks asking god something is blashphymy they need to check themself also sometimes god does answer you but just in a different way it may not always be him wispering in your ear.
........that was hard.... and real....thank you for this one.....i have the same feelings and happy to find i'm not the only one...sadly we won't hear Him until the end...we hope and pray, that is.
I love hopsin And tech nine, it's no surprise they ended up collaborating with each other. Fortunate to have had the privilege to find these artists throughout the years
This song hits close to me i was in a rough spot a few years ago and i thought there was no way i would get any help but i feel like god took my hand a gave me the strength to change and im in a really good spot

Look around you, the plants, trees, your eyes, feet, and the un-replaceable brain.

Gazer Vic Why Why should he give us what we want and listen to us and all he wants is our hearts and our love and we deny him that we would rather watch women shake their ass and make money then go to God
“Still hear the screams “ 🥺
“Why does everything good always have to change” shit hit way to hard

Dax is already a Rap GOAT/God, a Hall of Famer. Huge respect..all his songs are masterpieces.
That dude Dax tried God when he said "maybe it's you who actually fears me?!" 😂
Floyd Sullivan 😂😂😂😂😂😂
U ain’t kidding

Thats too far. He asking to die
@@Jesus-ce5jr but still there.. so ?
Dax is underrated like where's the hype for dax it's like people hate good talent now a days
Lol he isn’t that good
David Hasselhoff better than you’ll ever be
IHit Gaming such a good comeback 😂 I’m not a rapper mr internet warrior
You guys actually beffin in my chat
The pixel pro bro he’s fake as fuck hence why he aint poppin rn
I like Dax, but he just straight became my favorite after this.
Hey layedback, just wanted to say I love what u doin over there ur shit puts me Inna good mood every day. No cap. #selfloveandpositivity
I have a soft spot for these types of songs. As a non-believer and always wondered how you could be in a position to not question these things youre taught. Songs like Hopsin, joyner lucas and a few others really changed my perception of the believer. This and "Book of revelation" by Dax are amongst the best ive heard. They have always helped me Segway this genre into my more mainstream friends music tastes
This was the first time I've heard of Dax and I must say he has said everything that every believer has said at some point in their life. I think this was a brilliant and well-thought-out video and his lyrics were heartfelt.
This song really hits me differently, the questions he brings up in the lyrics are very important and its like you said, people are afraid to ask them. Dax's music has always helped me so imma give this video a BIG thumbs up. Keep it up my man
Hey man congrats on you opening for dax! Heres to you making bigger and better moves in 2020! The utmost positive vibes to you my dude! #firesquad4life!
6:10 left homie with an existential crisis lmaooo
BRING BACK KING
BRING BACK X
I FELT THAT
When Dax started listing all the things talking about where were you God when I was going through all this, why weren’t you there, why weren’t you answering… God doesn’t answer in our timing, He answers in His timing because His timing is always perfect.
Its not just a pass its one of the best songs i ever heard
Dax be having everybody rethink they whole life. This was amazing hands down
Yo bro Idk if anyone had told you but I'm a young 15 old boy and I wanna say I'm so damn proud of where you have gotten like I'm pretty wise for a 15 year old been through a lot of crap in my life and your Reaction videos make me laugh and feel better. Just thinking about this song and saw you had a reaction to it and wanted to see what you say and how you gonna interpret the song it's so much more to the song. Thank you so much for your content. And I'm proud of you.
Yooo. Your reaction and body language is so suiting, u can see the g listening to the words.... preach it Dax, this the new g we need to bring back life to hip hop, and to this world.. this gunna is beyond any artist out now. He had the balls to speak his own fight, much love for this....
He got him now!. And he is absolutely life changing music
6:38
”Who calling me?”
*Side Chick*
”Alright”
+ImNotChinese
*LOL*
Omggg💀💀💀
🤣
Dax is the Definition of Artist!
Dear god, I pray for everyone who sees this❤️
I saw it
Almost 100
Frozen_Benh23tv didn’t comment it for likes
I know
Thanks for praying
wow didnt even took time to start the reaction just to say its awesome you doing the intro of dax show man keep up the good work and im sure youll be very successfull :)!
Not only is this my favorite dax track, it's one of my favorite tracks of all time. Just a man talking to God, nothing more, nothing less. A lot of people DO NOT use religion in their art for these specific reasons alone, often. He managed to do it and it's PURE and AWESOME in the most literal sense of the word. God bless layedbakdfr and all those who may see this message.
I swear everytime he says he's drinking that water I start saying "Health is Wealth in 2019" I can't help it
Lol
Who else got NF vibes, Joyner Devil's Work feels, and Hopsin vibes
lil bit of nf and joyner
Neither. Hes Dax
Dax asks where’s god when he had a gun to his head. I mean he’s here today. And look where he is
bran shedd he works in mysterious ways
What about the kids who asked for god, put a gun to their head, and arent still with us
majesticmal23 mysterious ways? What about the children who have died of starvation and homelessness, who died afraid? When they asked for god's help, where was he then? What about the poor? They just don't get help because what, they aren't holy? They aren't good enough? What about the people who were hated across the world, and asked god for guidance? Did god just not care? Did he want them to die? The "mysterious ways" of this unimaginably massive theory is udder garbage. Maybe, if god actually cared for everyone, the people I cared for would still be alive.
Matheus Coelho I agree..... if you were to put it nicer lol
@Matheus Coelho I agree with you. But people might get offended with the way you just straight up said it. I am not a believer even tho I was baptised as a christian/Catholic (not 100% sure of which one atm lmao) but I identify as athiest. People get confused about that but it's quite simple, I was born, baptised because my dad wanted me to be (even though my mom didn't believe), and I grew up to just not believe, never went to church, never prayed. I didn't waste my time doing it, instead I live through the pain with the help of my family. I don't need God, even if there is one. Once I have the people I love and care about I'm ok, and that it where my faith lies ❤️
Finally took time to watch this reaction and it was straight 🔥🔥🔥. Hits just like Ill Mind 7. Shout out to Dax for speaking from the heart on this one.
🔥🔥🔥SQUAD
Im catholic, and when it comes to christianity im pretty sure we the G’s but like it gets hard trying to find god in my every day life
Literal chills and a couple tears..
You will never know how I got these likes 😏
Exactly 😂
Yeah man 🤣
Those are the best parts in every video
Dominic Ruble me
Ikr!
Fire ass song. One for the record books. Love LayedBak's reactions. Was waiting on this one.
This is the song I wrote called “Dear God”. I’ve never heard this song by Dax until just now, I think it’s cool the name of both of our songs is called “Dear God” yet I didn’t know this song until just now.
Song intro: I know I haven’t talked to you like I used to, I know I’ve been distant from you, I’ve blocked you out a few times and I haven’t been the best child. I’m sorry for everything I’ve done, from sinning to all the bad I’ve caused. It’s hard to stay good when it feels like the devil is weighing you down, like he’s sickin demons on me so it’s hard to make you proud. I’ve struggled ever since I was a little kid, I’d say about 8 years old cause that’s about the time my mom left. Blamed the divorce on me because I felt like I never did the right thing. It’s hard at a young age when your parents split, felt like everything was your fault because they didn’t say I love you before they left. A couple years pass and you see her out in public, try talkin to her but she ignores you and walks away like she wasn’t the one who gave birth to you. Now I’m like...
Chorus: Dear God, why ain’t you helpin me? Can’t you hear me crying at night asking you what’s wrong with me? I wish you’d put your hand on me to let me know you’re there for me, maybe whisper to me so I know you’re listening. Dear God, I need your help down here, can’t you see these kids bullyin me? I wasn’t popular, I was quiet, so I guess that’s a good reason to pick on me. Dear God, can’t you see I’m hurtin badly, crying in the bathroom because I feel like I am unworthy. Dear God!
Now let’s fast forward 7-8 years. I’m almost 16, things are bad again so I found some things to distract me from the world. Everyone knows me now because they see me at parties. Thinking I’m cool because I’m gettin so messed up I can barely see. “Yeah man pass me the blunt, and I’ll take a few shots when I’m done” until I found out it was all laced with pills. Almost overdosed, but God saved my life. Puked it all up and I slept for three days, but I didn’t learn my lesson. Yeah I quit goin to parties, but I still did it on my own. Drank almost everyday, even popped a few pills along the way. A few months pass and I’m sober and clean, but the depression hits only this time I’m hearin things. The voices don’t stop, they’re fillin my head with negative thoughts. How do you kill the demon without hurtin yourself? So you see where I’m gettin to, yeah I tried killing myself. Cuts all up and down my arms, even my legs. Now it was time for me to say hello to the “psycho place” stayed for 2 weeks, but I lied and said I was alright so I could leave. Now everyone is happy I’m home, but where were y’all when I needed you there for me?
Chorus: Dear God, why ain’t you helpin me? I tried takin my own life and you wasn’t there for me. Did you hear me crying out to you askin to please guide me? I wish you’d put your hand on me to let me know you’re there for me, maybe whisper to me so I know you’re listening. Dear God, I need your help down here, can’t you see that I am struggling? It feels like I am fighting this battle alone, show yourself to me. Dear God!
Time passes, now I’m living with my sister. The whole family is scared because dad is 100% on the ventilator. A few weeks pass and the doctors don’t think he’s gonna make it, we all start prayin and plan for the worst that could happen. All of a sudden we get a call, it’s the doctor, he says dad is makin progress after all. The only reason is because they put him in a coma, so we made plans for when he gets home. They tell us it’ll be a long process, he has to learn how to walk and talk again. But he died for 13 minutes. I start talkin to God, I doubted him but he proved me wrong. Dad is awake and healthier than ever, now he’s well enough to come home. Dad and I are having a deep conversation, he says don’t doubt God, he was with me the whole process, he saved me and took my lung cancer with him. I started cryin, I couldn’t believe what he was sayin. I talked to God and I said...
Chorus: Dear God, I’m sorry for all the times I doubted you, now I realize it was me not trying to hear you. You showed yourself to me and I didn’t notice it, I promise for now on I’ll stand next to you. Give you all of my fears and pain because I finally understand what you can do. Dear God, I believe in you, I’m keepin my faith and I’ll do good for you. I’ll spread and praise your name and word until I can’t talk anymore, Dear God!
It's my first time to know Dax in this song and I became his fan Imidietly
Appreciate his X reference, so influential even in his passing.
I think he was talking about “Malcom X”
WAY more influential imo, Xxx honestly didn’t do shit.
He was talking about Malcolm x. & king jr.
Estevan C ik, but people are probably gonna think xxxtentacion 😒
Estevan C but yeah I agree
Imagine Dax and Nf on a beat.🔥
Dude Dax is from my hometown and I’ve walked his old college
And i am going to report this channel ☺️☺️
@@rameshbashyal1371 why
Does anyone else get shivers????? This is the main song that straight up just gives me good goosebumps
I’m 3years late to this thread just found Dax a few weeks ago. But OMG your ending commentary is fire 🔥. God is our Daddy and we should be able to talk to him real like. Not the sanitizing version of a prayer but deep heart felt emotional cry out to Him. Man this has fired my walk back up.
Dax is on a another level with less than half the recognition of the people who songs sound like 50 other artists
My vote was passed the first verse. I would like to quote my uncle who is the leader of a church, "Your relationship with God is between you and him, what may be a sin to someone else doesn't have to be a sin for you."
I mean that’s kind of cap, you can’t say murder is a sin to him but not to you, we are told what sins are, we don’t get to dictate what we perceive as sins as they’re sins regardless
I love dax he’s a rapper with true meaning with his lyrics not like other rappers
bro when i hear a new song like this one , and i love it, i hear it over and over...but not until i come into your channel, that i actually start getting the lyrics....great job bro...respect...been following for a while and have recommended your channel to several friends
This was a very real video and reaction, I’m glad that you addressed this with such an open mind, on these type of topics. Very rare to see this now a days. Big up DFR, good for you bro!
I would love to see you react to Dax-She cheated again ✌️
Yesss! That song hits hard
BlackMage07 bc i was cheated on...
"Health is wealth." Has a hookah behind him
Fila SoFLY 😂😂😂
So?
I loveeeee his reaction in this vid😭😂 he’s like 🤯
You're not The only one it left speachless this song is truly one of a kind nice song
Look at it this way he heard you he cares. He only tests the strong he push you into success because you're the most focused when you're at the bottom struggling. Love from the south keep it real
Has anyone noticed this video is about the movie pasion of christ
John Ryan Lagare Seems fitting they both fake as hell
Please Cloudz he basically saying Jesus us black and that's true
Well artistically yh
BAPHOMET lol ur sad kid
Yes
When god comments on this video
God: Back from my nap!
God don't take naps
Fnjdnrj Williams it’s a joke
Listen to this guy with your eyes closed and tell me he doesn’t sound like Hopsin.
Lucky Boii he do
7:48 thats true, relationships build (in this case our relationship with God) when you tell God how you feel
He’ll come to you when it’s the right time... he’s never too early or too late, you’ll have to be patient yet it feels forever
Oh yeah 300 "THIS IS SPARTAAAA" 🔥
I am an atheist and this song still hits me right in the feels. This is one powerful song. You can really feel the message Dax is trying to send here. 10/10.
Do you believe that there’s any creator?because even if I wasn’t a Christian I feel like I’d have some type of beliefs of a higher power I mean just look at nature it looks like a painted canvas and thing about how small we are there is a star that is so much bigger than the earth of earth was equivalent to the size of a golf ball it would be equivalent to all of Texas 26 inches deep full of golf balls to make that star and where so much smaller than the earth so just imagine how tiny we are
@@journey2mma998I know I’m 2 years late. They said their Atheist, so they don’t believe in a god or higher power. If they were agnostic, it would kind of be like believing and not believing in a higher power.
Homies gonna get big I’m telling you, this channel 🔥🔥🔥
"where were you when i needed it, when i fucked up and repeated it, when they set the bar and I exceed it" Whew shit that hit
I've gotta say, this one hit me HARD! The fact that LayedBakDFR understood how I felt and was saying the shit I was thinking was amazing. Appreciate you. When I tried to talk to people about my questions they said you ain't a believer and you got no faith! We all got questions, let's keep it real. THIS SONG IS HEAVY!
Imagine god just writes a diss track on dax
Why a diss?
It's not a diss to god this song is beautiful god loves this
I JUST LISTENED TO THIS. IT'S SOOOOOO GOOOOOOD
People be like: "Did you not know it's illegal to make another track about religion because Hopsin and Joyner already made one? Illegal to still have questions, illegal to state them publicly, illegal to hope for answers."
Best one so far ... I was expecting the pastors reaction to even say what you said in the beginning but they refused to . Thank you!
I just have to say, dude I'm alone in this world so I look at you as a friend. I'm a guitarist, pianist, singer and rapper so I have a versatile music mind set but seriously you help me through so much thank you layedbak you are an inspiration
I just watched the real vid of "DEAR GOD" so I just typed in "DEAR GOD REACTION" I ALMOST
CRIED
!!!
Nobody:
Him: *shows off water*
JOTENKSSSGSS if the waterbottle is drip, does that mean he is drinking drip juice?
Just another reason why Dax is one of the best. A true living legend thats only getting better.
No, just no.
Top 10 fav songs of all times
I was having goosebumps listening to this. THIS IS HEAVY!
if anyone thinks asking god something is blashphymy they need to check themself also sometimes god does answer you but just in a different way it may not always be him wispering in your ear.
Kinda feels and sounds like Joyners "Devil Work"😂
Sounds more like Hi-Rez.
Dax stole this from Hi-Rez's "Back In Time" - th-cam.com/video/wx8rtJQ4bwA/w-d-xo.html
Bobby Frozen he didin’t “steal” shit, it’s probably a free beat.
I say this is one of his best songs ina min
Man I love just chilling listening to this guy seems like such a legend would love to meet him ngl
........that was hard.... and real....thank you for this one.....i have the same feelings and happy to find i'm not the only one...sadly we won't hear Him until the end...we hope and pray, that is.
I love Dax’s music he is the best Christian rapper.
He is Christian???
he isnt christian, he says himself that he has no specific religion, he believes in god,
Nf is the best no if and or buts
Plz react to Juice wrld. Maybe his new song that came out called Bandit.
robbery
Juice world? Only emo kids listen to him lol
@@goatllama9413 juice wrld* ... and nah
@@NinjaNation bruh, emo rap is so fucking cringe way worse than emo back then.
goat llama juice wrld is not exactly emo rap. That’s lil peeps style and juice wrld sounds nothing like lil peep
Is it just me or does his flow and his voice sound like Crooked I lol
I see it
I love hopsin And tech nine, it's no surprise they ended up collaborating with each other. Fortunate to have had the privilege to find these artists throughout the years
This song hits close to me i was in a rough spot a few years ago and i thought there was no way i would get any help but i feel like god took my hand a gave me the strength to change and im in a really good spot
