What Nate went through, and what everyone else is going through, if your like me you don’t care about yourself only about everyone around you that are going through what you are going through
MyKittyUnicorn 57 you need to know none of this is your fault and your parents choices should not be bared on your shoulders. you can be the strong through this, i know it’s hard i struggle all the time with my mom and her habits. you are strong and loved :) just wanted you to know
Incase some of you didn’t know, NF’s cries are real in this song. They decided the keep it in the recording as NF couldn’t get through the song without breaking, which is why you hear so much emotion in his voice.
You said 'unreal' at the end of your comment and I was just commenting on how raw and real this song and all his music is. That's all. But I knew what you meant.
My mom just passed away 2 nights ago. I saw her lying on the floor, lifeless. She struggled with alcohol addiction. I showed her this song/video last year and she made me a promise to quit. Well she broke that promise. Tell your mom you love her while you can.
i lost my mom a year ago to an OD, she was the most amazing person i’ve ever met. I’m so tired of being angry at her but i can’t help it, she left us. She missed all of our graduations because she was too high to come. Her perfume was cigarette smoke. Sometimes I feel so alone like nobody else has experienced it but I’m glad to know it’s not just me, thank u
You’re not alone…I was taken away from my mom at 5 yrs old because of her drug addiction…till this very day she does the same thing…sometimes I love her but most of the time the hate takes over. I vowed to NEVER do this to my children ever. They have no idea the level of emotional trauma this carries throughout your life…it never leaves
@@JunkieJournalTruer words. I lost it when I heard this song and Hope because when Hope dropped it had been EXACTLY 30 years since my mom abandoned my brother and I for her addictions. You’re so right that there are days. She’s still around but just as absent as she ever was. Days when I want to tell her off, days when I miss my mommy…but I too have vowed to NEVER let my daughter experience emotional trauma like this.
He probably made everyone in the room cry. That's what I like to imagine. I would've cried. Not only is it sad, I start to cry when others cry. I'm typing this while listening and i'm crying right now.
This line hit me hard the first time I listened to it my mom passed without me even knowing the pills got her too sadly I got called home from school and my foster mom was sitting there with my social worker told me my mom ODed this morning it’s been over two years now and I got a picture on my shelf but damn I need the real thing sometimes
Has darkness fades Light glows nah the system has been great for me I love my foster mom but I know there’s shitty homes out their that don’t give a shit about the kids they get
Probably the saddest song I’ve heard. Pure raw emotion and vulnerability. Mad respect for crying on the track. Most rappers might feel “too cool” to do that but he’s a real one for not giving a f.
@@kc-lv4gh Hello, I understand you and I feel bad so I wanted to know if you could maybe email me or send me some of your music I would really like to hear it if you don't mind :)
@@abduallahamin2001 man if you liked it don't forget to subscribe, this is really hard for me. Nobody knows how much I worked to get 100 subs, and 100 is basically nothing
@@kc-lv4gh Bro quit trying to promote yourself by spamming your message everywhere and trying to make people feel bad. It's hard for you? It's hard for everyone.
When you are a professional at being numb to your pain, so you come to this song to feel something. Almost 34 years old and still feel my parents mistakes. This generation must do better
its not about doing better...we as humans will never do better...its about God...if we can get back to Him, then things can get better...but only, only if we come to our Maker...if we come to our Creator...He Loves Us so much...He just wants us to recognize Him, and only Him...He wants a relationship with all almost 8 billion peoples on the Earth...but we don't want Him...but that is the only way that things will get better, is if we turn to God...Jesus Loves YOU...
same I love it but it makes my eyes water. since its what he's been through and is still going through these emotions. it leaves a big impact on the people who listen to it (especially those who relate to this song). that right there is truly amazing.
I just found him on spotify. I am sitting here watching my grandsons (3 and 4 years old) sleep 6 months after my beautiful 21 year old daughter died from fentanyl toxicity. I wish I could go back and change so much. NF has a real gift and honesty and pain radiate from each tract. I wish that no one had to feel this way. Thank you sincerely NF for being gonest and sharing your pain. Some of us no longer feel so alone and misunderstood. I am a mama dealing with my own demons who feels like they failed her children and now her grandchildren will grow up and feel this loss and wonder why.
I'm so sorry to see that you lost your daughter. As a mum, wrestling with those thoughts of having failed a child is horrendous, I know. It takes a lot of input and self-reflection (something I only did when I really got into God's word) for us to comprehend ourselves and how we impact others...in both good and less good ways. I pray you come to have compassion on yourself, and that your grandchildren know how much your love them.
I try to tell my dad to stop smoking and drinking but well it doesn’t work and I get abused and I still love him no matter what.....this made me cry my eyes out.....
I'm sorry if I'm being annoying but please hear me out. I'm 14 and I wanna rap. me nor my parents can afford to buy me a laptop or a home studio right now. Since I'm Indian it's even worse, everyone laughs at even the thought of me rapping. Im gonna prove them wrong. I wanna show them that my race is something I can't control. What I can control is that I try my best. Im not asking you to like my content, just give me constructive criticism. One day I'll make it out of this, one day I'll be the greatest.
kgrip okay buddy stop with the copy paste bullshit for likes. If you’re gonna be the best get on with it, and stop complaining. Complaining about shit is weak.
"it took everything inside of me not to scream at your funeral, sitting in my chair that person talking was pitiful" honestly that line is so underrated
I relate to this song so much. My mom & dad aren't great people, and even though I didn't always respect them, I loved them. They were there for us and they went through so many hard times to provide, no matter what. My dad worked his ass off to provide and my mother took care of our home, taught us to be better. When I was around sixteen though, their drug use got really out of hand. They tried to hide it but I was always observant and I realized what was happening. They started to act different, not themselves. My dad stopped working, fell back into alcohol. My mother stopped working. Eventually, we lost everything. We lost our house and with no where to go, my brother and I moved away to live with our grandparents. We watched them deteriorate over the years. They we're practically homeless at times, and actually homeless at other times. They stole from us, manipulated us, lied to us, didn't show up and hurt us in so many ways. They stole from my grandparents, the people taking care of their children for them. They ruined relationships to the point where my father wasn't even allowed to be there when my grandmother passed away. I've seen them shooting up, smoking meth, nodding out in front of me. I've had conversations with them where I can't even understand what they are saying. They've robbed people, hurt people, been in and out of jail, etc; You name it, they've done it. They stopped caring about our education, and I was so ANGRY and spiteful at the time that it consumed me. I stopped caring about anything, dropped out of school, and started running the streets and doing stupid shit that I shouldn't have. I influenced my brother to follow in my footsteps. Things are looking better and I have moved on somewhat, but I still haven't fully healed. My parents are still alive but I don't have much of a relationship with them at all because they have just been sinking further down the rabbit hole, and that makes it so much harder. Sometimes I wish they would just die, and most of the time I'm expecting to get that call at any moment. Despite everything though, I'm really trying to grow and keep playing the game despite the cards I've been dealt. Wish me luck...
You're strong g. Stand tall and keep going. You'll pull through. Forgiving is hard and it takes time. Focus on yourself and do what's right for you. But don't let their mistakes dictate your life and influence the happiness you recieve. It's gonna be tough but you're stronger than them man. ❤
Don’t know if you’d see this, but I hope and pray that God will bless your heart and soul, doesn’t matter if you’re religious or not but please remember this. You will be blessed.
@@Poopydoopysxoopy I think he meant everyone in life has to go through some sort of pain in their life not specifically what's portrayed in the video but anything that has made u hurt in ur life. Everyone has to go through pain in order understand what happiness truly is. If u don't know pain then u don't know happiness because when u go through shit, u learn to appreciate the good times more.
I am a recovering addict & a mother of 3, this song has helped me in so many ways to stay clean. I never want my children to feel like I chose my addiction over them. Everyday is a battle for me to stay clean & I keep fighting to save my children from feeling the pain of growing up without a mother like I did.
I grew up without a mom as well. My mother passed away when I was 7 due to drugs. There is never a day that goes by without me thinking of her and trying to figure out how I could've saved her. I'm in highschool now. Never stop fighting for your kids.
@@leo-e2n5v I am sorry for your loss. I lost my mother at the age of 14, my father had died when I was 2. Losing a parent isn't easy. The one thing I have realized is that there was nothing I could of done to save them. Just like there is nothing you could of done to save your mom. My kids couldn't get me or keep me clean, I had to do that for myself. I got clean because I didn't want my kids to grow up without a mom like I did. If you ever need someone to talk to I am here, I think of my mom everyday too.
Batman Gotham i wish u the best for ur life and families. I hope u will recover soon and had a happy life with ur children and family. God bless you. Love ya❤️
He can be good but all he raps about is how much his fans hate him. It's so annoying he needs to change the subject. Yes Therapy session and the albums before were amazing but after that it's just him complaining about his fans.
@Yes, either u haven’t heard ANY of his songs, or you completely mis heard the lyrics, cause the most he did like that was not about fans hating on him, but enemies saying he was out of control and not stable, but this is how he handles his pain and regret
I can't quite understand why I've seen a few people say he was faking the tears. That was real emotion, real tears. He's extremely hurt by what he went through. We love you, Nate. Congratulations on your new bundle of joy.
Sucks to cry when you lost someone so close to you because of someone who never loved you like they said they made up a whole fake person and dont even love them like they said it hurts it hurts so bad inside but I am still alive still blessed to be alive and moving daily so I do my best to forget and just move on from what we had I held on to it this long I held on to our relationship this long because I wanted to feel the love ik that you were denying and u just wanted attention from someone else so I move on no tears nothing to say nothing for u no feelings anymore no love there any more no nothing anymore because you chose to do the things you did and abandon me
I'm not crying because I relate to this song, I'm crying because I know there's people who actually do relate to it. I can feel Nate's pain in every one of his songs and I guess it breaks me to know that he's struggling.
In the future, this will have alot more likes with my reply at 100+ likes. but yes, depressing and heartbreaking to know that this, this is the lives of some people.
It really hits , drugs mess a person up my mom been doing them since she was my age . She isnt gone but she isnt here either , her brains fried and it's just too much
Same here, I had heard a couple of his songs but, didn't decide to really check him out until a couple of days ago. I was in the grocery store listening to this and was about to start crying. He gained a new fan.
What really breaks me is the sound of him crying in between lines. This song is so meaningful, that even I, with a mom who is still here and a dad who is healthy, am crying.
It isn't underrated in my opinion, though it deserves more views yes. This song here is the most underrated song in my opinion. It only has 1.5 million views for being six years old. th-cam.com/video/ZxQLNxFA1Mg/w-d-xo.html Well at least it is the most underrated song I know of at the moment.
If he did I fully respect him, I’m being honest if this was my mom I could never forgive her as she died doing and buying drugs which the money could be better spent on my well being. Fortunately I’m 17 healthy about to go University from support by the best mother in the world, love from the United Kingdom
@@r.m7034 what a messed up thing to say, really. I mean, I get what you mean, but don't you understand the gravity of peoples pain? There usually is a reason behind abusing.. Shitty thing to postulate, you couldn't forgive someone for being too weak for their own emotions
Oliver J. It’s just my own personal opinion bro, that you should sacrifice a lot of things for your kids from small things like cigarettes to big things like drugs so that your child grows healthy and if you can’t you shouldn’t have a child or should send him to a safe environment. I get some people in the world are struggling and find it hard to refrain from these actions but in my opinion if you have a child you should no question, because if you do drugs and struggle that’s fine you can screw your life over but if it’s harming others then there’s a problem.if you disagree with me that’s fine bro and take care
@@r.m7034 just for the record, cigrattes are considered drugs as well. And you know, it's not like parents who do drugs doesn't want to quit. Have you heard plof physical dependence? Altered brain chemistry? Withdrawals? Shit like that happen, when you do pills and what not. Quitting drugs, isn't just a dance of flowers :-)
@@abbigailfertig3983 Send her this song immediately! Maybe it'll help. "Sometimes I wish I would have just called you. I wish I would have just picked up the phone." -NF 4:47... may it never be you. I'm so sorry you and your sister are going through that. 😢
My dad left me and then used me , pretended to want me to stay with his gf then he cut me off he has 2 other kids that he loves and cares for but not me I’m numb
I'm sorry if I'm being annoying but please hear me out. I'm 14 and I wanna rap. me nor my parents can afford to buy me a laptop or a home studio right now.

Yes it doesn’t matter he is just out here helping us with his music. Also this helps me a lot my mom died when I was in third grade not even to overdosing but she had a disease and it did come back to finish her. So I can relate a lot but it must hurt more for NF because he slowly got to watch it so it must of been like torture.
I don’t understand how rappers get famous promoting bad things and flexing their money and belongings their music have no depth no meaning but NF s songs are talking bout the struggle of his life his songs make me cry he pours a piece of his soul into each soul yet he is unrecognized He sings the truth
Its honestly disgusting that its that way in this generation, im young but i understand that this generation and the next ones ate just stupid, theyre ruined honestly
That’s the most painful song that I ever heard. You can feel in his voice that there is so much pain. The last part hit me so hard. I really love this man so much, I have so much respect🖤
"I think of you when i get a whiff of that cigarette smell." Is the line that hits me. My mom was a wild, turbulent soul. She wasnt ready for motherhood, but I loved her. Oh my god I loved her so much. She messed up, over and over again. I felt every aspect of this song, but while my mom had a brief battle with prescriptions they are not what did it. Cigarettes took her, they took my momma. I watched lung cancer destory her, it ripped her apart as vicious as a pack of starving wolves ripping her apart as the cancer masticized to her brain and turned her into even more of a stranger. 37 tumors in her brain that cigarettes planted deep in her lungs and it grew like an invasive weed. I stood by her bedside when they took her off of life support, a shell of her former self, and i gently cried as I told her how much I loved her and it was okay for her to let go. It wasn't okay though. I wasnt ready. It took my once wild, fierce force of a mother, too crazy to have her feet planted on firm ground where her kids needed her...15 minutes to die. I watched life leave her body. I smelled a lady the other day in passing, and she smelled like my momma. No, she smelled like Newport 100s, and it killed me to realize those kids she had with her will probably feel how I feel.
I'm a 44yo man and in all my years I've never in my life heard a song that hits home more than this one. Everything that this man sang is exactly what my life has been like.. This song finally made me forgive my mom 7 years after her death. Thank you
I am 38 years old and I haven't seen or heard from my mother in over 32 years, due to her chronic addiction and other issues. You give me hope that I could one day forgive her, but I don't think I'm ready for that yet. She's still alive, albeit in poor health, but all of the themes of this song/video ring true to my childhood experience, also. Dealing with her absence and the feelings of abandonment that come along with that hasn't been easy. I am truly glad you have found peace and closure. Hope I can someday do the same.
@@Smurtyman, I was the same when my mom was alive. She passed away (overdose) 6 years ago this month. I am 33. At first her death brought emotions of sadness. Mostly sadness for myself. Wondering why I wasn’t good enough to get clean for. Then I went back to anger. Recently, all of that was lifted off of me. I realized that the anger and pain caused by my mother had negative effects on my wife and children. I can’t be the man they deserve while harboring trauma from my childhood. I just came to this song because it helps me heal and saw your comment. I hope you get to the point one day to not necessarily forgive her. But, to learn to let go and that you are worth more than her actions showed. Much love bro.
@@jacobrobinson909 thank you so much for the kind words. Suffering is lessened when shared. I am hopeful I will someday be free of these burdens. Your words give me hope. Much appreciated.
@@Smurtyman I never comment on videos. Something about your comment made me want to speak out to you. I’m no expert in the trauma we have endured, but you are correct. It’s good to know we aren’t alone, and the WE were not the problem.
@@Smurtyman brother I hope one day you find peace like I did. It's extremely hard man Trust me I know. I personally witnessed my mother choose Alcohol, Drugs and men over her 3 kids. She died a lonely death with no one by her side. I refuse to put my kids through what she put me through. You will overcome this... We all do brother
Ya I know how you feel. And how he feels. My sister is an addict and she is not In good shape.I see her probably once every 2 years. She doesn’t barely even know me.I fear everyday that I will wake up,and my mom will tell me she got a call saying she’s gone. Sometimes I wish it could all go away, but that’s not my reality.😢
I know what you mean my father chose drugs over me and now he is possibly in jail wasting away from them. It sucks to not have that space filled with love
Claire Futrell is like to share with you what I shared with Nate: “This song kicked me right in the feels. And I was *not* ready for it. :-/ I was addicted to pain pills for over 6 years. Thankfully, my clean date is also the day I found out I was pregnant with my Daughter, my first and only child. That day was January 10th 2016, and by the grace of a hidden spirit, I have remained dedicated. I have remained strong. And I haven’t relapsed. But, that doesn’t mean it isn’t hard.... it is. It’s so damn hard. Every single day provides a challenge to resist. A temptation I must ignore... *one that is forever present.* Every single day I have to make a choice. A deliberate, selfless, thoughtful decision. Because every single day, one of the many options always available to me is....failing her. And I cannot. I will not. I can’t. I can’t. To say she is worth it, would be a *devastating* under-statement. She is worth so much more than my words could adequately describe. Songs like this keep me on the path with positive outcomes. They put things back into perspective, and they provide a gravely needed reminder. A reminder of why we suffer to live. My sweet baby daughter doesn’t deserve this. She, and all children of drug addicts, should *never* have to endure what Nate and his siblings did when they lost her. Nate, I am so so so sorry. And I am so so so grateful for what you are choosing to do with your talent. This song and this music video alone, will literally save lives. It could be the final thing that makes somebody struggling to get clean, finally get it right. It could be the thing that helps someone who’s close to relapse, stand firm. The effect this song causes within someone simply cannot be ignored. You cannot ignore this when you hear it. *You cannot ignore the way it moves through you.* Please, if you are a parent who struggles with addiction... please.... stay strong. Please make the right choice for your precious little ones. It absolutely can be done. It won’t be easy, but it will be so worth the fight.
@@kaydawn3152 same here but i do not feel sadness for him man he can rot in hell with his decisions. Life is hard when u make wrong choices shit goes to hell. Fuck our fathers man
his music makes me cry every time because i know how hard it is for him and how hard he struggled. even though i didnt grow up like him, i can feel how he feels through his music and that alone is enough to understand.
I am living far away from India and still feel the pain in his songs, I guess he is not that under recognised... I won't like if he gets more media attention because he has a genuine fan following right now and it shouldn't be blown away by idiots following him just coz he's famous
I’ve never cried so hard at a song. Nate, I don’t know if you can see this, but your music has saved my life once or twice, and I’m always going to be grateful for that. Thank you
My mom abandoned me at a homeless shelter when I was 6 years old. I would look out the window every day at a foster home and cried my self to sleep every night. When I was 7 she visited when I was in foster care. When she had to leave I remember hugging her and looking up at her saying why did she have to leave again. 9 years would pass and I would see her again but I didnt recognize her. She found God and changed her life around. Now at 20 years old im doing good for myself. I ship out for the US Army active duty on January 5th. Even though I dont show much emotion and hardly smile anymore It was hard has hell writing this shit. It hurts but I know Im stronger and more successful because of it. I've come a long way and life just keeps on getting better.
God bless you! My mom left me in a different way, but I also ended up in foster homes and remember literally doing the same thing you described. Crying myself to sleep. I just wanted to tell you that so you know you're not alone. Sending you the hugs you deserve.
You can *really hear* the *pain* in his voice... I was legit trying not too cry. It almost got me. Do u ever wonder how people come up with their songs? If they just thought of it or... If it's based on real events... I wonder it. Nate, if there was a bigger word for beautiful and pretty but together, I would say it. But theres not. So this is litterley the best song I've ever heard
I cry listening to this song every time I hear it. This song is actually based on his real experiences, it's not just made up. And the parts where he is crying actually come from a time when he broke down in the studio, they aren't staged.
My sister showed me and our mom this song a few years ago. We all cried. Its kind of funny now, I was pregnant when I first heard it, this is the first time I've seen the video since then and my son looks a lot like the boy in the video.
I was a mom at 16 an alcoholic by 20 and an addict to prescription pain meds by 30. My oldest sons life was not easy, not any part of it. Sometimes I feel like his life is better now that he’s out on his own. I’m 2 yrs and 4 months sober and clean now, I’ve apologized to my son more times than I can count but I still don’t feel like I’ve done enough to help him heal from the pain I caused him. ANYTIME I feel the urge to use I listen to this song and it saves my sobriety every time, it saves my kids mom, it saves my life! Thank you Nate!
I can relate to this song a lot cause a few months ago the same thing happened but instead it was with my sister who is 13 by an OD and I’m happy to see that she still here today
Everything he says I relate to… everything. It’s crazy. I lost my mom to an Overdose in 2011. When I found his music, I just couldn’t let go. I’ve never related to an artist more than Nate. His feelings, how things are hard to let go of, how he relates to the world, his faith. Anytime he releases anything new, it boggles my mind. I need him to keep going.
Much love , it’s hard and my this song explains my father was addicted to pills , he passed away high on pills , my aunt was addicted to pills and died of an overdose,this hits , it really hits , my heart is broken ,thank you nf for sharing you’re pain ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@nevaehvillarreal2618 hug him. tell him he matters. Tell him to get the help he needs. I know from experience kid. 33 and clean for 3 months. My child is my rock. He may get angry at first, keep pushing. Hopefully he gets the help he needs. Show him the reasons he has to live. Excuse my language, but fuck addiction.
@Coconut shark I am so sorry for you but just remember to be brave and if he is still the same guy he was in the past you don’t ever have to go and see him again but if he has changed you should go and see him more often and try and build up your trust with him and I’m sure he would love to see you.
KGRIP keep believing people are nasty because there jelly but I believe you will make it in life dont suicide but smile instead people are racist coz they don't know how it feels to be like that it's must ssooo scary everyday having to worry about the cops coming just because you're different it's ssooo messed up man like people r just soo messed up but we can stop racism by standing up tall and being the person u r
I cried during this. He never properly processed his mother's death and now that he did he needed to vent it. Hence, this song. This is a subject a lot of people go through and he's bringing it to peoples attention.
We found out yesterday that my mom relapsed and has been for months and years now. This song was the only way I could cry. I haven't had a song fit a mixture of emotions so perfectly.
My brother was addicted to drugs he passed away at 23 years of age this song just touched my heart I cried nf is not like other rappers he's an amazing rapper he's different
*I think we need to take a moment of silence to respect Nate and all he's been through*
You can literally hear the pain in his voice.....he's really talented with a sad background....i respect him for being here and being strong.
I agree my mom is starting on drugs and I am scared, I really don’t know my life yet and I don’t know how to hold my life.
Been through the same shit bro
What Nate went through, and what everyone else is going through, if your like me you don’t care about yourself only about everyone around you that are going through what you are going through
MyKittyUnicorn 57 you need to know none of this is your fault and your parents choices should not be bared on your shoulders. you can be the strong through this, i know it’s hard i struggle all the time with my mom and her habits. you are strong and loved :) just wanted you to know

Joyner but other than joyner amd mgk no i agree

Incase some of you didn’t know, NF’s cries are real in this song.
They decided the keep it in the recording as NF couldn’t get through the song without breaking, which is why you hear so much emotion in his voice.

Praying for you, stay strong I hope you find peace
I'm so so sorry for your loss please stay strong and keep your head up man :(
Rest in peace brandon mother
I'm so sorry for your loss man. I know how hard it must be for you. Keep going x
i lost my mom a year ago to an OD, she was the most amazing person i’ve ever met. I’m so tired of being angry at her but i can’t help it, she left us. She missed all of our graduations because she was too high to come. Her perfume was cigarette smoke. Sometimes I feel so alone like nobody else has experienced it but I’m glad to know it’s not just me, thank u
I cover this song in recovery for. Song analysis 😢
You’re not alone…I was taken away from my mom at 5 yrs old because of her drug addiction…till this very day she does the same thing…sometimes I love her but most of the time the hate takes over. I vowed to NEVER do this to my children ever. They have no idea the level of emotional trauma this carries throughout your life…it never leaves
I'm so sorry for your loss
Me too my Daughter birth mom Picked the Drugs over her and her Bf and her kids.
@@JunkieJournalTruer words. I lost it when I heard this song and Hope because when Hope dropped it had been EXACTLY 30 years since my mom abandoned my brother and I for her addictions. You’re so right that there are days. She’s still around but just as absent as she ever was. Days when I want to tell her off, days when I miss my mommy…but I too have vowed to NEVER let my daughter experience emotional trauma like this.
Imagine how he felt when he wrote this song... and when he recorded it in the studio... NF lives on
Gustav Gude must have felt bad
He told the producers to leave the room because he was crying so much
He probably made everyone in the room cry. That's what I like to imagine. I would've cried. Not only is it sad, I start to cry when others cry. I'm typing this while listening and i'm crying right now.
We already know cuz of this vid, The last part isnt even staged, he literally cried, which makes me realise how easy I have it..

Probably the saddest song I’ve heard. Pure raw emotion and vulnerability. Mad respect for crying on the track. Most rappers might feel “too cool” to do that but he’s a real one for not giving a f.
You know it’s a good song when you can relate to it without having gone through this
yea im tearing up cause I can sorta relate my moms an addict but hasn't passed away luckily but yea man
I can totally relate to this as well. You are very right.
Yes I can relate with both my bio parents
I can relate to this both my parents have been addict since I was small but my mom was the only one that has passed
I can relate because both of my parents and my papa used but none of them died respect he makes the best music and he is underated

When you are a professional at being numb to your pain, so you come to this song to feel something. Almost 34 years old and still feel my parents mistakes. This generation must do better
its not about doing better...we as humans will never do better...its about God...if we can get back to Him, then things can get better...but only, only if we come to our Maker...if we come to our Creator...He Loves Us so much...He just wants us to recognize Him, and only Him...He wants a relationship with all almost 8 billion peoples on the Earth...but we don't want Him...but that is the only way that things will get better, is if we turn to God...Jesus Loves YOU...
the raw emotions in his work is exactly why i absolutely love NF.

“They say pain is a prison, let me out of my cell.” -NF

I just found him on spotify. I am sitting here watching my grandsons (3 and 4 years old) sleep 6 months after my beautiful 21 year old daughter died from fentanyl toxicity. I wish I could go back and change so much. NF has a real gift and honesty and pain radiate from each tract. I wish that no one had to feel this way. Thank you sincerely NF for being gonest and sharing your pain. Some of us no longer feel so alone and misunderstood. I am a mama dealing with my own demons who feels like they failed her children and now her grandchildren will grow up and feel this loss and wonder why.
I'm so sorry to see that you lost your daughter. As a mum, wrestling with those thoughts of having failed a child is horrendous, I know. It takes a lot of input and self-reflection (something I only did when I really got into God's word) for us to comprehend ourselves and how we impact others...in both good and less good ways. I pray you come to have compassion on yourself, and that your grandchildren know how much your love them.
@@NihouNi Amen ❤ 🙏

NF is one of the only artists who carries so much weight in so little time. He puts so much emotion into so heavy of songs

Ben Lepsch fr 😔
I relate to this song so much. My mom & dad aren't great people, and even though I didn't always respect them, I loved them. They were there for us and they went through so many hard times to provide, no matter what. My dad worked his ass off to provide and my mother took care of our home, taught us to be better.
When I was around sixteen though, their drug use got really out of hand. They tried to hide it but I was always observant and I realized what was happening. They started to act different, not themselves. My dad stopped working, fell back into alcohol. My mother stopped working. Eventually, we lost everything. We lost our house and with no where to go, my brother and I moved away to live with our grandparents.
We watched them deteriorate over the years. They we're practically homeless at times, and actually homeless at other times. They stole from us, manipulated us, lied to us, didn't show up and hurt us in so many ways. They stole from my grandparents, the people taking care of their children for them. They ruined relationships to the point where my father wasn't even allowed to be there when my grandmother passed away. I've seen them shooting up, smoking meth, nodding out in front of me. I've had conversations with them where I can't even understand what they are saying. They've robbed people, hurt people, been in and out of jail, etc;
You name it, they've done it.
They stopped caring about our education, and I was so ANGRY and spiteful at the time that it consumed me. I stopped caring about anything, dropped out of school, and started running the streets and doing stupid shit that I shouldn't have. I influenced my brother to follow in my footsteps. Things are looking better and I have moved on somewhat, but I still haven't fully healed. My parents are still alive but I don't have much of a relationship with them at all because they have just been sinking further down the rabbit hole, and that makes it so much harder. Sometimes I wish they would just die, and most of the time I'm expecting to get that call at any moment.
Despite everything though, I'm really trying to grow and keep playing the game despite the cards I've been dealt. Wish me luck...
You're strong g. Stand tall and keep going. You'll pull through. Forgiving is hard and it takes time. Focus on yourself and do what's right for you. But don't let their mistakes dictate your life and influence the happiness you recieve. It's gonna be tough but you're stronger than them man. ❤
You need more recognition from the people in these comments. Stay strong bro🫶🏼
Don’t know if you’d see this, but I hope and pray that God will bless your heart and soul, doesn’t matter if you’re religious or not but please remember this. You will be blessed.

I grew up without a mom as well. My mother passed away when I was 7 due to drugs. There is never a day that goes by without me thinking of her and trying to figure out how I could've saved her. I'm in highschool now. Never stop fighting for your kids.
@@leo-e2n5v I am sorry for your loss. I lost my mother at the age of 14, my father had died when I was 2. Losing a parent isn't easy.

My kids couldn't get me or keep me clean, I had to do that for myself. I got clean because I didn't want my kids to grow up without a mom like I did. If you ever need someone to talk to I am here, I think of my mom everyday too.

@@r.m7034 what a messed up thing to say, really. I mean, I get what you mean, but don't you understand the gravity of peoples pain? There usually is a reason behind abusing.. Shitty thing to postulate, you couldn't forgive someone for being too weak for their own emotions
Oliver J. It’s just my own personal opinion bro, that you should sacrifice a lot of things for your kids from small things like cigarettes to big things like drugs so that your child grows healthy and if you can’t you shouldn’t have a child or should send him to a safe environment. I get some people in the world are struggling and find it hard to refrain from these actions but in my opinion if you have a child you should no question, because if you do drugs and struggle that’s fine you can screw your life over but if it’s harming others then there’s a problem.if you disagree with me that’s fine bro and take care
@@r.m7034 just for the record, cigrattes are considered drugs as well.
And you know, it's not like parents who do drugs doesn't want to quit. Have you heard plof physical dependence? Altered brain chemistry? Withdrawals? Shit like that happen, when you do pills and what not. Quitting drugs, isn't just a dance of flowers :-)

You can hear and feel the hurt and sadness in his voice the entire song, much love to NF ❤️
I don’t understand how rappers get famous promoting bad things and flexing their money and belongings their music have no depth no meaning but NF s songs are talking bout the struggle of his life his songs make me cry he pours a piece of his soul into each soul yet he is unrecognized
He sings the truth
I loved Cardi and rappers like her til I heard how real his music is and hes still underrated
Its honestly disgusting that its that way in this generation, im young but i understand that this generation and the next ones ate just stupid, theyre ruined honestly

"I think of you when i get a whiff of that cigarette smell." Is the line that hits me. My mom was a wild, turbulent soul. She wasnt ready for motherhood, but I loved her. Oh my god I loved her so much. She messed up, over and over again. I felt every aspect of this song, but while my mom had a brief battle with prescriptions they are not what did it. Cigarettes took her, they took my momma. I watched lung cancer destory her, it ripped her apart as vicious as a pack of starving wolves ripping her apart as the cancer masticized to her brain and turned her into even more of a stranger. 37 tumors in her brain that cigarettes planted deep in her lungs and it grew like an invasive weed. I stood by her bedside when they took her off of life support, a shell of her former self, and i gently cried as I told her how much I loved her and it was okay for her to let go. It wasn't okay though. I wasnt ready. It took my once wild, fierce force of a mother, too crazy to have her feet planted on firm ground where her kids needed her...15 minutes to die. I watched life leave her body. I smelled a lady the other day in passing, and she smelled like my momma. No, she smelled like Newport 100s, and it killed me to realize those kids she had with her will probably feel how I feel.
I'm a 44yo man and in all my years I've never in my life heard a song that hits home more than this one. Everything that this man sang is exactly what my life has been like.. This song finally made me forgive my mom 7 years after her death. Thank you
I am 38 years old and I haven't seen or heard from my mother in over 32 years, due to her chronic addiction and other issues. You give me hope that I could one day forgive her, but I don't think I'm ready for that yet. She's still alive, albeit in poor health, but all of the themes of this song/video ring true to my childhood experience, also. Dealing with her absence and the feelings of abandonment that come along with that hasn't been easy. I am truly glad you have found peace and closure. Hope I can someday do the same.
@@Smurtyman, I was the same when my mom was alive. She passed away (overdose) 6 years ago this month. I am 33. At first her death brought emotions of sadness. Mostly sadness for myself. Wondering why I wasn’t good enough to get clean for. Then I went back to anger. Recently, all of that was lifted off of me. I realized that the anger and pain caused by my mother had negative effects on my wife and children. I can’t be the man they deserve while harboring trauma from my childhood. I just came to this song because it helps me heal and saw your comment. I hope you get to the point one day to not necessarily forgive her. But, to learn to let go and that you are worth more than her actions showed. Much love bro.
@@jacobrobinson909 thank you so much for the kind words. Suffering is lessened when shared. I am hopeful I will someday be free of these burdens. Your words give me hope. Much appreciated.
@@Smurtyman I never comment on videos. Something about your comment made me want to speak out to you. I’m no expert in the trauma we have endured, but you are correct. It’s good to know we aren’t alone, and the WE were not the problem.
@@Smurtyman brother I hope one day you find peace like I did. It's extremely hard man Trust me I know. I personally witnessed my mother choose Alcohol, Drugs and men over her 3 kids. She died a lonely death with no one by her side. I refuse to put my kids through what she put me through. You will overcome this... We all do brother
Being the child of an addict is hard to explain to people, but you did it in a beautiful, raw, painful, perfect way.
Thank you.
Ya I know how you feel. And how he feels. My sister is an addict and she is not In good shape.I see her probably once every 2 years. She doesn’t barely even know me.I fear everyday that I will wake up,and my mom will tell me she got a call saying she’s gone. Sometimes I wish it could all go away, but that’s not my reality.😢
You know just me or is all what plays on Ur mind is she could be lying on a floor odd d
I know what you mean my father chose drugs over me and now he is possibly in jail wasting away from them. It sucks to not have that space filled with love
Claire Futrell is like to share with you what I shared with Nate:
“This song kicked me right in the feels. And I was *not* ready for it. :-/
I was addicted to pain pills for over 6 years. Thankfully, my clean date is also the day I found out I was pregnant with my Daughter, my first and only child.
That day was January 10th 2016, and by the grace of a hidden spirit, I have remained dedicated. I have remained strong. And I haven’t relapsed.
But, that doesn’t mean it isn’t hard.... it is. It’s so damn hard.
Every single day provides a challenge to resist. A temptation I must ignore... *one that is forever present.*
Every single day I have to make a choice. A deliberate, selfless, thoughtful decision. Because every single day, one of the many options always available to me is....failing her. And I cannot. I will not.
I can’t. I can’t. To say she is worth it, would be a *devastating* under-statement. She is worth so much more than my words could adequately describe.
Songs like this keep me on the path with positive outcomes. They put things back into perspective, and they provide a gravely needed reminder. A reminder of why we suffer to live.
My sweet baby daughter doesn’t deserve this. She, and all children of drug addicts, should *never* have to endure what Nate and his siblings did when they lost her.
Nate, I am so so so sorry. And I am so so so grateful for what you are choosing to do with your talent. This song and this music video alone, will literally save lives. It could be the final thing that makes somebody struggling to get clean, finally get it right. It could be the thing that helps someone who’s close to relapse, stand firm. The effect this song causes within someone simply cannot be ignored. You cannot ignore this when you hear it. *You cannot ignore the way it moves through you.*
Please, if you are a parent who struggles with addiction... please.... stay strong. Please make the right choice for your precious little ones. It absolutely can be done. It won’t be easy, but it will be so worth the fight.
@@kaydawn3152 same here but i do not feel sadness for him man he can rot in hell with his decisions. Life is hard when u make wrong choices shit goes to hell. Fuck our fathers man
You know he's a good rapper when he can make you cry with a track you don't even relate to at all
justOnerandomguy my thoughts exactly.
Yep...
Yup
Yep
Even more so when it does relate and resonate, tearin up writin this...damn
his music makes me cry every time because i know how hard it is for him and how hard he struggled. even though i didnt grow up like him, i can feel how he feels through his music and that alone is enough to understand.
NF, the most undervalued, underappreciated, and under-recognized artist out there
I am living far away from India and still feel the pain in his songs, I guess he is not that under recognised... I won't like if he gets more media attention because he has a genuine fan following right now and it shouldn't be blown away by idiots following him just coz he's famous
Sitting at 41m views. This seems like a dumb statement to make.
Litolic yeah, but when you compare it to some of the other artists it’s not too much
I’ve never cried so hard at a song. Nate, I don’t know if you can see this, but your music has saved my life once or twice, and I’m always going to be grateful for that. Thank you
I keep watching this song and cry almost every time and can't stop
You are important never forget that !
This is the closest I have come to crying due to a piece of media(i.e music, books, movies, videos etc)
It’s almost impossible for me to not cry every time that I hear this song😭it hits so deep…💔
@@jude20627 I crying everytime when I hear that, maybe that because me and NF had the same story...idk
My mom abandoned me at a homeless shelter when I was 6 years old. I would look out the window every day at a foster home and cried my self to sleep every night. When I was 7 she visited when I was in foster care. When she had to leave I remember hugging her and looking up at her saying why did she have to leave again. 9 years would pass and I would see her again but I didnt recognize her. She found God and changed her life around. Now at 20 years old im doing good for myself. I ship out for the US Army active duty on January 5th. Even though I dont show much emotion and hardly smile anymore It was hard has hell writing this shit. It hurts but I know Im stronger and more successful because of it. I've come a long way and life just keeps on getting better.
💜
Wishing u love and happiness
good luck tomorrow man
@@frostyomnic9995 thank you!
God bless you! My mom left me in a different way, but I also ended up in foster homes and remember literally doing the same thing you described. Crying myself to sleep. I just wanted to tell you that so you know you're not alone. Sending you the hugs you deserve.
NF I love your songs 0:35
You can *really hear* the *pain* in his voice...
I was legit trying not too cry.
It almost got me.
Do u ever wonder how people come up with their songs?
If they just thought of it or...
If it's based on real events...
I wonder it.
Nate, if there was a bigger word for beautiful and pretty but together, I would say it. But theres not. So this is litterley the best song I've ever heard
Im trying not to cry either
Most rappers just want the money to brag about it, but nf he is like the god of rap to me, just like god is his savior.
You were trying not to cry while I broke down while watching
I cry listening to this song every time I hear it. This song is actually based on his real experiences, it's not just made up. And the parts where he is crying actually come from a time when he broke down in the studio, they aren't staged.
Yeah when I first heard I cried idk why but I did
Show of hands, how many cried when they first heard this song.
I know I did
I cry every time I hear it
I really did at the end... when i just heard him crying
My sister showed me and our mom this song a few years ago. We all cried.
Its kind of funny now, I was pregnant when I first heard it, this is the first time I've seen the video since then and my son looks a lot like the boy in the video.
🙋🙋
crying rn
I was a mom at 16 an alcoholic by 20 and an addict to prescription pain meds by 30. My oldest sons life was not easy, not any part of it. Sometimes I feel like his life is better now that he’s out on his own. I’m 2 yrs and 4 months sober and clean now, I’ve apologized to my son more times than I can count but I still don’t feel like I’ve done enough to help him heal from the pain I caused him. ANYTIME I feel the urge to use I listen to this song and it saves my sobriety every time, it saves my kids mom, it saves my life! Thank you Nate!
Keep grinding 💪
Congratulations on your sobriety!Keep going hun, you've got this!!!
First step the hardest part is over with. Now stay clean n keep grindin 💯 RESPESCT
treelon musk that sucks so bad. I let my son see his daddy anytime he asked. I don’t care what’s goin on btw mom n dad, a kid needs their daddy!
I wish my mom was as strong as you.. my mom relapsed😞 no one loves me
I can relate to this song a lot cause a few months ago the same thing happened but instead it was with my sister who is 13 by an OD and I’m happy to see that she still here today
The fact that he's actually crying between verses is heartbreaking 😭😭
Facts
RIGHT!!! It's like you feel the pain....😩😩It breaks my heart
lost my mother to drugs…. and i come to this song every day at 3 in the morning
This is the closest I have come to crying due to a piece of media(i.e music, books, movies, videos etc)
Breaks my heart everytime, you can hear the pain in his soul..and anger .
"When you're happy, you like the song. But when you're sad, you understand the lyrics."
What if you're both?
It's like that wit every song
I know how it feels like.
It's almost simular as my story
@@taukietaukie3950 me too :(
I'm a 53-year old man... This brought tears to my eyes! Damn!!
Exactly
God bless
Lmao. You're 14 at most.
Ruben Pereira you never know man
53 years and your name is Mr1soccerboy...
Everything he says I relate to… everything. It’s crazy. I lost my mom to an Overdose in 2011. When I found his music, I just couldn’t let go. I’ve never related to an artist more than Nate. His feelings, how things are hard to let go of, how he relates to the world, his faith. Anytime he releases anything new, it boggles my mind. I need him to keep going.
no matter how much I see this music video I’ll never stop crying
Literally same I just got done crying again to this video for the 50th time
it hits different when you've lived it...RIP mom :(
@@TheGreatJimbob32 I’m so sorry for your loss🕊 I hope you’re doing great !
frl...
Same
I can’t imagine my life without my mom and my dad🖤 R.I.P for all the moms and the dads out there and stay strong❤️❤️
Same...
My dad passed away about 5 months ago and it’s the worst fuckin thing ever...
Much love , it’s hard and my this song explains my father was addicted to pills , he passed away high on pills , my aunt was addicted to pills and died of an overdose,this hits , it really hits , my heart is broken ,thank you nf for sharing you’re pain ❤️❤️❤️❤️
HS it’s even worst for him because he knew and still knows she never cared about him because she walked out on him
HS I went to go see my birth mom and she didn't even remember my name and I saw that she was drinking and she was high now I live with my aunt
It hurts watching this but it hurts more knowing that this is someone’s reality
This is my really because my dad left me and when I was a kid I’m 14 now and he was and still on drugs so this song is my life
@@nevaehvillarreal2618 hug him. tell him he matters. Tell him to get the help he needs. I know from experience kid. 33 and clean for 3 months. My child is my rock. He may get angry at first, keep pushing. Hopefully he gets the help he needs. Show him the reasons he has to live. Excuse my language, but fuck addiction.
I am a special education teacher and too many student experience this. So sad!
@@nevaehvillarreal2618 same but it's my mom lol
@Coconut shark I am so sorry for you but just remember to be brave and if he is still the same guy he was in the past you don’t ever have to go and see him again but if he has changed you should go and see him more often and try and build up your trust with him and I’m sure he would love to see you.
This song hits me on a different level
"some say it's fun to get the high but I am not laughing" that hit my soul
the pain that radiates from his voice has me crying. damn.

KGRIP keep believing people are nasty because there jelly but I believe you will make it in life dont suicide but smile instead people are racist coz they don't know how it feels to be like that it's must ssooo scary everyday having to worry about the cops coming just because you're different it's ssooo messed up man like people r just soo messed up but we can stop racism by standing up tall and being the person u r
I cried during this. He never properly processed his mother's death and now that he did he needed to vent it. Hence, this song. This is a subject a lot of people go through and he's bringing it to peoples attention.
It's hard to get over a death of a parent especially if your so young.. 💔 I haven't lost my parents but still
Yea this song describes my whole childhood but my mother isn’t dead which is a great blessing but she did all the stuff he said
bruh are you gay?
@King Fox rip man
Hes doing for himself thats it and I wouldn't do it for anyone else just ur self thats not selfish 💯
We found out yesterday that my mom relapsed and has been for months and years now. This song was the only way I could cry. I haven't had a song fit a mixture of emotions so perfectly.
This is heart-breaking...
SLY true
SLY 500 like
ctkthpxjbd you need Jesus admit it
THIS IS BASICALLY HOW I FEEL DAILY, ONLY YAHWEH KEEPS ME GOING
i'm sorry for ur lost
My brother was addicted to drugs he passed away at 23 years of age this song just touched my heart I cried nf is not like other rappers he's an amazing rapper he's different
Dakota Tommasello I am so sorry i understand my dad passed away from addiction to alcohol on August 15 2019 a month ago

@@Drk829 Let's just say I got inspired
I am watching and crying. This story has hit me
i cry every single time i hear this song. it really sucks when your brain associates songs with traumatic situations
And that's the worst pain of all :/

True
mvddiiieee that is not the worse pain of all. Not even close.
@@Asdfgqedfglo not for everyone. for me it is because of the pain linked to this song. that is truly my worst pain
