Tommy Davis this shows 2 outcomes of the choices: on one hand the girl could have become a prostitute, then on the other hand she could have become a productive member of society. So this video shows 2 outcomes of how you live your life
We have to start by lifting our youth up as a country and loving them together so that they will know how to love themselves. Without love for yourself you cannot give love completely and in a way that someone else deserves and wont know what kind of love they also deserve from another. So we dont have to live through another time that our children are ever going to have to feel hatred of other's for no valid reason claiming rhetoric like race or secual orientation. We have to stop this division and hatred weve allowed ONE hateful narcissist to poison our ppl and far too many of our youth.. lets get love back in our lives an pour it into our future and get our happiness BACK!!we r running out of time .. our kids r losing their future
This song is so profound. The video tells such a real story. So many young women walking around with PTSD and unresolved trauma from molestation and abuse from people that should've protected them. Heartbreaking.
i was a victim of this and i wish people would include men as well im a girl but still my brother went though this but it never got any attention but i got lots
I never thought that I would CRY after watching a Lil Wayne video, but that was beautiful! He depicted real life and showed how deciding to love can change pain into positivity! Great performance by Lil Wayne and great video Shazam!
+Marlen Rodgers Yeah! He didn't freestyle shit. Detail wrote the song, Lil Wayne just got luck of the draw to sing it. Dumbass. I not once hated on him, I just stated a fact. Maybe if you passed the 3rd grade English, you'd have better reading comprehension.
Marlen Rodgers You don't need to use a semicolon or colon unless you're directing the reader's attention to something which is important. If I'm making a simple connection between two independent clauses, you use a comma. Had this not been important, you wouldn't have mentioned it at all if what I said about your reading comprehension meant nothing. You brought it up out of a psychological need to defend yourself. Which is not necessarily a bad thing, nobody wants to lose face in front of others or to have their reputation damaged regardless of whether company is present at the situation. Ergo, it obviously was important because I made an attack on your intelligence, which lead to a logos appeal by mentioning your ACT score, something anyone secure in their intelligence would never mention. And then returned the attack from a spiteful yet reserved tone which was palpable in your response. Again, simple psychological defense. Detail is a record producer, a writer, and an artist. If I recall, he has done a few songs.
The fact the Lil Wayne managed to create such a memorable song that greatly contrasts what he typically sings about shows that he does has tremendous talent!
This song made me change my lifestyle, friends and boyfriend.. It made me see that even if I grew up in a broken family and made bad decisions.. That ain't going to define me
YOU change for the better of YOU but i hear you. Songs can mean soooo much from when you first heard them 10 years later maybe your life is good or maybe not so good but change starts with YOU
I listened to this as a kid because it sounded cool. But coming back to it now, it got me emotional to see just how much meaning the words have, and the video adds on the the effect. This is a really good song
This still makes me cry! I’m a former escort and this always brings me to tears. From 17-24 I was a solid ass escort, i have a job interview at a tech company on Monday, pray for me!
Deep message in this video. The ability to love only truly develops when we learn to love ourselves first. Only then can we decide with whom we share intimacy and then it is to give , not to get.

Some persons are at a disadvantage from birth. They have to run a race meters behind and when they do reach the finish line out of breath the crowd said they are too lucky...
This song doesn't get the recognition it truly deserves. Replaying and listening to it over and over again. I understand the lyrics now.. Simply a girl who grew up too fast and generation after generation, the cycle never changes unless YOU do. We as women are stronger than we think.

The saddest thing about this entire video is that, we are actually watching someone's else life right now. This should bring awareness to many of us; especially with the choices we make in life. This is truly sad but has a powerful message.
I dont think it was underrated! People didnt really want to acknowledge lil wayne made such a masterpeice! Thats messed up! This was everything and i still love it from the carter 4
@@raegavin5948 As child not knowing your worth, or feeling worthless, will impact you even more once your older, due to the fact that the consequences for the decisions you make as an adult are 10x more impactful than they are of a child. Simply put if you think your worthless as a child, those feelings will only intensify as an adult.
This let's us know that there is always a better version of ourselves that we should strive to achieve! This also tells us that the actions of parents greatly affects their children's future.
After having a mental breakdown, you empathize with the girl more and more in this video. This song soothes you, reminds you. Be gentle on yourself because you deserve love too.
This song just teaches me that everyone has a story..the stripper,the robber,the drug dealer etc..people are just trying to survive..May God help us all,let's not judge others.
I always knew this song was about a woman who never had a chance to learn what real love is, but at the age of 22, I can now understand that it even extends to her not knowing how to love herself. And the singer isn't just a man enamored by her, it's a man who's speaking a pure and well-intentioned truth. He's encouraging her to overcome her insecurities, to not blame herself for her trauma. And that's beautiful. The music video tells a story of just how important it is for parents to love themselves and teach their children how to love. Always remember that you deserve the best of what life has to offer. You deserve good things. You deserve to be happy.
Damn..watching this as a kid doesn’t hit the same as it does now that I’m an adult and have experienced the harshness of this world and love. Still can’t listen to it without crying. Wayne will always be a king 👑 ✊🏼
Calebmufcthompson while you probably think Nikki is the same. These rappers are later more out there these days cause they trying to compete with other new trendy rappers.
They still have, only fewer and not in the same way. A rapper today ex: 21 savage raps about his past, selling drugs, shooting at people and the trauma that came with it. If only you try to understand the rapper you will see thats deep too. (Except for lil pump)
This video is underrated! The meaning of it speak for it self. It could of have 1billion views. But out of that billion, who actually sat there to anaylize it ? Is underrated .!
This song is so depressing and therapeutic at the same time. Cause once you go thru so many heartbreaks and toxic relationships it truly becomes hard to love and trust a new partner in your life especially if they are too "too good to be true", and we end up forgetting that we deserve that kinda love.
He knows that most of his songs promotes drugs, sex, money, crime, etc. And I suppose that's how he made millions. But for sure, there were a side of him that felt sympathy for the women he got with, understood their situation and spoke about in the form of a song to warn other young ladies about going down this road. I'm glad he put this song out. :)
This is one of the most meaningful, beautiful songs I know about being a woman and a mother. Thank you Lil Wayne. You have the soul of a poet and artist first and foremost. You see deeply.
Absolutely!!! When ever I listen to this song, it makes me think about my older sister, she passed away 2yrs ago. We didn't know that she was in an abusive relationship, she always had an excuse about bruises. She eventually married her abuser, he stripped her of everything, even her soul. She was only a shell of herself. She was a beautiful woman inside and out. But what I want to say is some women think they can walk away or relocate, etc. But my sister had already died spiritually and eventually we lost her. Women please understand that not everyone will walk away with life, she became free the day she died
How can we be grown enough to know better than to be thinking the way we be thinking? If we were we'd be grown enough to know better than to be doing what we be doing! Just speaking!
This ! I listened to this so much when my mom was married to her ex husband. He molested me for 6 years before I told anyone. My mom use to get so mad at me for singing this and crying ! She use to say “girl don’t nobody love you cause you don’t know how to act” mind you I really wasn’t a bad kid I just had a lot of adults who used me as deflection. S/o to Ashley tho. She’s the reason he left but I’m still healing and it’s hard. It’s been 10 years since it was exposed and I’m still trying to age with the years cause I feel stuck in 2012 and damaged by my whole childhood. God got me tho
We weren't in control of things that happened to us as Children. But as we grow up to be adults, we have all the power in the world to rewrite who we are. We can either allow our past to create us into the very demons who broke us, or we can reconstruct ourselves into someone resilient, beautiful and fearless. You are not your pain, and you will never be. There's always a second chance around the corner
I feel like the song has an overall message which is that everything starts with your parents. it's starts with her mom being with the wrong guy, escalates and in the end she ruins her while life one step at a time being a result of the last. then it shows how different things would be through simple changes starting with her mom. it also shows very similar scenes with very different moods to show how everything adds up.
It is sad that people can't accept that they are worthy of love no matter what, but that would be a mountain of pain and abuse to over come. For some of us it is easier to love others than to let ourselves be loved.
Damn. You got me. Been giving my love to boys who didn't deserve it almost without any breaks from age 13-21. Now I live for myself and am learning how to love me instead.
Yes, we do need to learn how to love. Some people don't realize that either because they've always had it, or they've never had it. You really do need to be taught how to love and it's nothing to shame others about.
I Really do not understand why he is not listening this song is old but the message the same and so POWERFUL indeed Teach people how to love,and their future will be bright #❤️ 🌎✊❤️🖤🇳🇱!!!
This song makes me realize that what you experience things as a child that affect your future. So when you grow up don't hate yourself for what you experience. It's something you had to go through to get to where you are today. Forgive those who hurt you and forgive yourself. Move on cause God has something planned for you.
This is a cold song. July 2022 I survived the streets of LA, Crack cocaine the HIV epidemic I'm in a nursing home now. It still brings me to tears. Its a masterpiece 🖤

Simply put if you think your worthless as a child, those feelings will only intensify as an adult.
GP Free this makes more sense
@@biglan16 it really can, yeah it really can
The only rapper who deserves ‘Lil’ in his name , Lil Wayne 👌❤️
Lil pump is boguess
He don't know how to rap
are u trying to imply that Mozart doesn't deserve a lil in his name....
what about ELVİSSS
doesn't he deserve the lil
This let's us know that there is always a better version of ourselves that we should strive to achieve! This also tells us that the actions of parents greatly affects their children's future.
Couldn't have said it any better.😇😊☺👍💗
hits different seeing this now as a mom😭
Did this video make anyone tear up? This one of my fav Wayne songs, and it's just touching and the video is good
np just gave me chills
yap
+Sayde B its so touching I cried a little
me to
I cried so much
The ending tho, it showing how a parents choice can affect a child
True. It starts there.
Legit crying
That’s with anything.
i dont get anything about the vid
@@camm5777 youre too young.. You will one day my dear.
After having a mental breakdown, you empathize with the girl more and more in this video. This song soothes you, reminds you. Be gentle on yourself because you deserve love too.
❤
Lil Wayne actually cares about women. Unlike most rappers
Sames.
honestly not for me
Your comment made me feel shivers of something I don't understand
This song just teaches me that everyone has a story..the stripper,the robber,the drug dealer etc..people are just trying to survive..May God help us all,let's not judge others.
this song hits deep when your older
Thats waht I was thinking too...
💯💯💯💯 but some people do not understand thiz song
On my couch cryin to lmao
No doubt ❤
Facts
I always knew this song was about a woman who never had a chance to learn what real love is, but at the age of 22, I can now understand that it even extends to her not knowing how to love herself. And the singer isn't just a man enamored by her, it's a man who's speaking a pure and well-intentioned truth. He's encouraging her to overcome her insecurities, to not blame herself for her trauma. And that's beautiful.
The music video tells a story of just how important it is for parents to love themselves and teach their children how to love.
Always remember that you deserve the best of what life has to offer. You deserve good things. You deserve to be happy.
So beautifully put
@@sealieal4s thank you :)
Thanks for this. This is the comment I was looking for
@@user-gk4ig9ho4f I'm happy to provide :) take care and remember to love yourself
The best comment
Lil Wayne is singing about some serious shit here the is just like what happens in the real world ...I had tears running down my face bro
og !!! me too bruh
Watch the video while listening to it
Me too
Salute to you brutha!!
I miss Lil Wayne
I traveled from the year 2011 to see if anyone is here in 2024.. looks like we good 👍🏾
Beam me up Scotty 🛸
i am
Team Lil Wayne
This is the most wholesome rap song on Earth you can’t convince otherwise.
This isn’t a rap song
This is the most wholesome rap song on Earth you can't convince otherwise.
I first listened to this as a preteen but never realized what an emotional and impactful meaning it had until now, 2020
100 true for me as well
Damn..watching this as a kid doesn’t hit the same as it does now that I’m an adult and have experienced the harshness of this world and love. Still can’t listen to it without crying. Wayne will always be a king 👑 ✊🏼
PREACH 🗣️
This song comes from the heart, you have all my respect, brother
I think this is one of the most emotional and insightful songs Wayne has ever sang...Still valid and will never get old in my opinion
For sure!
@@triwantee2870 hi
So far it's among the songs that he didn't sound usual as in with his personality
@@kiyimbasamson it's certainly different but that's a positive thing for my part. This just shows how versatile Wayne is!
FACTS!!!
This is honestly one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard, and it was by Lil Wayne of all people...
For clarity, I have nothing against him, it’s just not the type of song you’d ever expect Lil Wayne to make 🤷♂️
He's no stranger to making you think tho
Calebmufcthompson while you probably think Nikki is the same. These rappers are later more out there these days cause they trying to compete with other new trendy rappers.
Lil Wayne is intelligent
Yes this is reality song
Oh God. Rap Actually Had Stories To Them At This Time. One Of My All Time Favorites
Yvng Dre' story telling back then was one of the most important part of rap thats what made eminem kendrick tupac and more famous
Alot of wayne songs turn into great messages and videos
I miss it
Gucci gang has a story to it 😡
They still have, only fewer and not in the same way. A rapper today ex: 21 savage raps about his past, selling drugs, shooting at people and the trauma that came with it. If only you try to understand the rapper you will see thats deep too. (Except for lil pump)
How many people are watching this in 2026😊
One of the worst rappers alive. Thank God he's not performing in the Superbowl. Wayne sucks!
This song with this music video is so under appreciated. The meaning behind the music video truly speaks volumes.
Seless Sustaita under appreciated??? Is 135 million views not good enough for you?
This video is underrated! The meaning of it speak for it self. It could of have 1billion views. But out of that billion, who actually sat there to anaylize it ? Is underrated .!
This song is so depressing and therapeutic at the same time. Cause once you go thru so many heartbreaks and toxic relationships it truly becomes hard to love and trust a new partner in your life especially if they are too "too good to be true", and we end up forgetting that we deserve that kinda love.
💯
Can you recommend more songs like this?
you better preach
touché
I’m glad he didn’t leave it on a bad ending I love this song and video
6 years ago. Felt like it was just 6 months ago when i heard and loved this. Time flies as a ray of light . . .
Actually it's a little bit more 4 dimensional than that but we still don't truly know
aidreen time is an equation
Here September 1st 2024! This song always gets me ❤️
Wayne's greatest song, period. I'm 25, a real 90's baby. Grew up on ALL his shit, and this is the first time he showed who HE REALLY IS.
AGREED 👍
27 here same boat g
He knows that most of his songs promotes drugs, sex, money, crime, etc. And I suppose that's how he made millions.
But for sure, there were a side of him that felt sympathy for the women he got with, understood their situation and spoke about in the form of a song to warn other young ladies about going down this road. I'm glad he put this song out. :)

This is not his best song idot
This is one of the most meaningful, beautiful songs I know about being a woman and a mother. Thank you Lil Wayne. You have the soul of a poet and artist first and foremost. You see deeply.
You should here his other stuff ...my personal favorite: Hoes ft. Manny Fresh
Too right!!!
Agree!
Absolutely!!! When ever I listen to this song, it makes me think about my older sister, she passed away 2yrs ago. We didn't know that she was in an abusive relationship, she always had an excuse about bruises. She eventually married her abuser, he stripped her of everything, even her soul. She was only a shell of herself. She was a beautiful woman inside and out. But what I want to say is some women think they can walk away or relocate, etc. But my sister had already died spiritually and eventually we lost her. Women please understand that not everyone will walk away with life, she became free the day she died
@@tracywishom9999 So sorry for your loss. Yes this song really speaks to this. Best wishes for you and your family.
It doesn’t matter what year your in this song still lit 🔥
Right im wathcing this in 2019 and its relatible and sad very sadd

How can we be grown enough to know better than to be thinking the way we be thinking? If we were we'd be grown enough to know better than to be doing what we be doing! Just speaking!
As kids we just liked the way it sounded but now we can understand it. 🙏
For reals today is the first time I ever seen this video.. And its still as strong as whem it first came out
Felt this
Ong
So true
I’m crying 😩😩
even after 6 years still amazing .....
Oliver Redbeard It is.
Oliver Redbeard cool
+Maya E this song touch my heart
Rollercoaster
Oliver Redbeard i know alright
This ! I listened to this so much when my mom was married to her ex husband. He molested me for 6 years before I told anyone. My mom use to get so mad at me for singing this and crying ! She use to say “girl don’t nobody love you cause you don’t know how to act” mind you I really wasn’t a bad kid I just had a lot of adults who used me as deflection. S/o to Ashley tho. She’s the reason he left but I’m still healing and it’s hard. It’s been 10 years since it was exposed and I’m still trying to age with the years cause I feel stuck in 2012 and damaged by my whole childhood. God got me tho
It's crazy how we are listening to these songs again as different people.
This is the one
Real shit 🙏🏽
No shit new life new people same wayne
Is my special one that knows it...Still love an think about you a lot cara Kay kielman
This one hits deep right here man
We weren't in control of things that happened to us as Children. But as we grow up to be adults, we have all the power in the world to rewrite who we are. We can either allow our past to create us into the very demons who broke us, or we can reconstruct ourselves into someone resilient, beautiful and fearless. You are not your pain, and you will never be. There's always a second chance around the corner
Some people don't get second chances. Did get nothing at all
Moral of the story: Everything we learn from home effect our future
Yep totally agree
Amen.
If u let it
Truth!!!!
Deep.
Evergreen classic, none of these new gen rappers can create something this impactful!
Easily one of Wayne's best songs he ever dropped.
oldheads can hate all they want but this is the shit
@@enragedbear what's old because I'm 32 and we loved this shit when it came out.
FACTS
No cap
Because he's speaking facts
Never thought a Lil Wayne video could make me want to cry until now
Hundred 😇
I cried
Song hits different when you been through some shit....
Yeah man felt that
#truth
For fuckin sure
@@themachanel8128 hella ya love u
Hell yes love 💘
Still here anyone?
2020 Baby, and this song still hits hard

From Mexico 💯💪🏼🇲🇽

I feel like the song has an overall message which is that everything starts with your parents. it's starts with her mom being with the wrong guy, escalates and in the end she ruins her while life one step at a time being a result of the last. then it shows how different things would be through simple changes starting with her mom. it also shows very similar scenes with very different moods to show how everything adds up.
Your so right! It starts at home, once her mom got married to a good man, that was a father figure for her. Her life was a completely different story.
basically how it usually turns growing up without a father versus with one
+TheHypoCrip same with a mother.
It is sad that people can't accept that they are worthy of love no matter what, but that would be a mountain of pain and abuse to over come. For some of us it is easier to love others than to let ourselves be loved.
Damn. You got me. Been giving my love to boys who didn't deserve it almost without any breaks from age 13-21. Now I live for myself and am learning how to love me instead.
Twilight Sparkitup much love 🖤😭
Yes! ❤❤
This song is when I realized that lil Wayne is a true legend. Bro touched my heart years ago and still makes me cry.
This song is about how people were never taught what real love is! Love is not lust. I guess you have to be taught how to love ?!?
Love starts at home starting with the parents. Parents needs to love their kids.
Yes, we do need to learn how to love. Some people don't realize that either because they've always had it, or they've never had it. You really do need to be taught how to love and it's nothing to shame others about.
jelous is not love the only one who truly loves is you is God
Aw stfu never met my parents nun of them now ima drug lord who don’t love and I’m glad make more money than all for you😂😂🖕🏼🖕🏼
I Really do not understand why he is not listening this song is old but the message the same and so POWERFUL indeed Teach people how to love,and their future will be bright #❤️ 🌎✊❤️🖤🇳🇱!!!
This song makes me realize that what you experience things as a child that affect your future. So when you grow up don't hate yourself for what you experience. It's something you had to go through to get to where you are today. Forgive those who hurt you and forgive yourself. Move on cause God has something planned for you.
The most realest shit I ever heard thank you I needed that🤞🏽🤞🏽💯
Spread the word of positivity !
This is a cold song. July 2022 I survived the streets of LA, Crack cocaine the HIV epidemic I'm in a nursing home now. It still brings me to tears. Its a masterpiece 🖤
You're a true fighter. I'm so proud of you. May God be with you always. 🙏🏻
God bless you. Keep up the good fight 🙏🏽.

This is my story almost to a TEE. Except, I had one child at the time and never had an STD. However, Rape, baby to early to feel love, Dead beat BD,stripper, prostitute, insecurities, Seen abuse in my home as a little girl. I will always love LIL WAYNE for this GEM......I couldn't rewind, but I'm farther than where I was. I've started my own business, have a man who adores me and I'm in therapy with so much more confidence and self esteem.
🙏🏼❤️
