Hey guys, I absolutely love this video. It's nice to see other men feel ok with being emotional. I just wanted to offer a little perspective from someone who has been suicidal twice in the past 2 weeks. I agree and disagree that suicide is the easy way out. I've been dealing with a lot of past physical and sexual trauma in therapy the last 3 weeks, and 2 weeks ago my wife said she wants to see other people. Even though we have 3 kids together, I honestly thought, in those moments, that it would be easier on everyone if I just wasn't here. It was also partly selfish on my part. Because yes, it would be the easy way out. But, if someone could be inside my head for just one day, it might shed perspective on why I wanted to end it. If you can imagine your worst thought, something you think would be the end of everything good in your life. Well, my mind fills with 70 other scenarios in what feels like moments. And that's all.day.long. Every day for 2 or 3 weeks. It's just a literal hell in my mind and I can't stop it. I didn't want to die, I honestly didn't and still don't. I just don't want to hurt so bad with what feels like something that won't get better. Now, I'm starting to get better and that helps. I still have really bad days, but I'm learning to cope a little. I know that to many it just sounds like I'm being a baby. Which I get. But it's still my truth and I am working my ass off to fight this, and I will win. Keep up the awesome work guys!
david woomer joyner explained that hes never been through that. He havent had anyone he knows commit suicide. But he knows people that had friends who has and used that to make his own story.
No he didn't. His stepfathers friend committed suicide, and his younger brother and son told him they were suicidal at one point too. He did and interview on why he made the song. You can look for it on google.
Nothing makes me break down like seeing a black man being emotionally mature enough to show emotion. Being a black woman I know how hard it can be for brothas to reach that point in life. So it’s just hella beautiful & personal to me❤️
As someone who has thought about committing suicide since the 4th grade, I can tell you that sometimes it's impossible to deal with your pain. People don't take the time to understand what people feel when they become suicidal. In my case, I was bullied horribly by a handful of classmates. The rest of the class ignored it and the teacher even bullied me. During that time, I started to develop low self esteem, anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation. I thought that people wouldn't give two shits if I weren't around. I was so broken mentally that even small things would set my depression off. A few times, I tried to hang myself in my closet, but I always seemed to work through it on my own and stand back up. However, some people aren't as lucky as me and can't work it out. Finally, after 13 years, my depression has almost faded completely and I've become a bit more confident in myself. I found things to believe in that gave me home for the future. Some people might shrug it off as unimportant, but it's the most important thing in my life. Songs like this really hit home because it makes me think about how my family would have felt if I had died all those years ago... It made me thankful to be alive. But it's the people around us who make our lives beautiful or make them Hell.
i feel you bro, everything you just said i feel you shit, i had a good life i lived with wealth and all that shit went away, what was i left with (i thought). now i remmember the good day, they days i felt great and i said man fuck this depression im out of it already, fuck feeling sorry for yourself, instead think "fuck im the shit, its not about fuck everyone else cause ill be probably bullying someone else, is about loving myself."
To the people who say its weak and selfish Saying suicide is the easy way out is truly a load of bullshit, you have no idea how far off a person has to be to actually end his/her own life. You think you can just get over it and kill yourself just like that? do you have any idea what it takes to even get as far as having the courage to pull the trigger on yourself or hanging yourself? the human body/mind is programmed to protect itself you will stop even if you try right now and if your drowning you will try to save yourself. to be so sad that you will go beyond that instinct of survival and end your own life means you are experiencing great sadness so please never ever say that again. As for the selfish part, people don't choose to be born. They are born into this world by someone else's choice without any say in it. , and some of them have it really really bad. What's selfish is expecting someone to just "deal with it" as if you know anything about what they are experiencing or what pain they have. So what your saying is that someone is supposed to just be in pain and deal with it just because you and others will feel bad if they die? man, you hella contradict urself on that one. again you have no idea how far off someone has to be to want to end their life, you don't know what waiting for you after death, the only thing you know is your alive. So there's no way you can say that's selfish or weak. People need to stop bashing the victim, that person was miserable for all their life and now they are dead, don't act like your fate is worse than theirs.
I wish people would stop saying that people who take their life are selfish.. it's not right. You saying they're selfish for taking their life, and removing themselves from your life like that. Turning their death on yourself, like.. sometimes things happen to people, and they try so hard to get past it.. but unfortunately some can't fight it. As someone who's been on that edge, and survived.. my family and friends were the last thing I remember thinking about before I blacked out. Feeling even more upset because I was choosing to remove myself, and ultimately let them all down. Even if someone chooses to off themselves, it's never an easy choice, and to say someone is selfish because they couldn't win the fight.. is just wrong. Some peoples depression stems from a long time of abuse, that breaks them mentally. Others have chemical imbalances which they can't control easily. There's many things that lead to depression, and some will never recover. My choice stemmed from being abused by my brother, family not believing me, being bullied, talked down. It's real hard to want to push through, and fight, when even your family doesn't believe in you. Much less when you don't have a family at all. Because of things I've been through, had done to me, or whatever, i will never be rid of depression. The struggle for people with depression can be momentary, or life long. Just try to be open with trusted friends and family, and if someone needs you, then be there.. because you never know, they could reach out, you be busy, and then you never have that chance again.. Depression, Suicide, and all the other stuff that comes with it, are a real issue, and people just have to be aware, and willing to be open minded towards other peoples struggles.
I agree 100%, I think you've really said something insightful here. Whenever I have felt suicidal I genuinely believed my family would be better without me. Or the pain was too great that made me want it all to end because being alive felt so tiring and hard. These are hard conversations to have and of course the people left behind have to deal with a lot of hurt and guilt once someone has lost their battle. But I don't think it's fair to say its "selfish". At the end of the day we should be mindful of each other, you never know what's going on in someone's life. Patience and love are so important.
I think as mental health awareness has become a lot more serious that opinion is slowly starting to die off. I completely agree with you though it makes you feel like a burden and you don't want to trouble people with your own problems so you just suffer alone until eventually it all becomes to much.
I think you sorta missed the message. It's the same thing with the song I'm not racist. When Joyner said you selfish for killing yourself, he's portraying either himself or other people in his shoes just going though emotions at that moment. It's why earlier he says something like "im sorry but I can't help but have mixed feelings about this". It shows that he's super sad but also angry. He's just portraying what a lot of people probably think or say if they ever in a situation like this. All those emotions, you can't think straight, you just say what you feel. Obviously we all think differently, we all have different ideas or ways of thinking that can be misinterpreted for being selfish or being "weak" instead of facing your problems or giving up fighting that you take the "easy way out". I'm sure there's nothing easy about that. Ive never been bullied or been through tough times but I've always struggled socially with myself. I've even had suicidal thoughts but I never came close to actually prepare myself to do them. I remember walking home from highschool multiple times wishing I'd get jumped by thugs with knives so I at least go out fighting. I've even thought of slicing my wrists in the bathroom but the one thing that always came to my mind was my mom and that there's no way I'd ever want to hurt her like that. I remember just wanting it to end sometimes because I was more afraid of facing my fears and putting myself out there than death. I was more afraid of humiliation than death. That was my mentality back then. Even though I went through that, I know my experience is nothing compared to what other people have been through, not even close.
DT seriously bro. Your reaction and tears says a lot about your personality. Nothing wrong with crying man, shows you have a good heart. Shit gets to me every time because I lost two friends due to depression.
Man... I appreciate you guys doing that! That's a fuckin music video that has DT emotional. He's such a powerful artist. Thanks again for hittin that request for me! ✊🏻✊🏻 mysonne funk freestyle is the next one on the request list from me. It's a year old but probably the best freestyle I've heard since meek was up there spittin.
A good cry is good for the soul..but also heals because it releases toxins from your body ..plus though we are taught to be strong, by not crying, I honestly believe the strongest people are the ones who face their emotions ..so keep crying
I shot myself 4 years ago now I can't walk and I've got to deal with the consequences of my action everyday.... I cried to DT y'all be easy #N4LMOB #N4LREACTIONS
It good to see you showing real emotions ❤️ The thing is when someone says it's selfish it's not it's just that sometimes the depression can be so bad that you can't see anyway out! I have been there several times and I have lost close family members also who have chosen to end their life! Mental health is at a crisis and more needs to be done! Especially in the music industry! Anyway enough of my rambling! Good reaction 🙂
Looking at it from the other side of the coin, it could be considered selfish to expect someone who doesn't want to be here to stay and suffer just so you don't feel sad that they gone. Shit is tough all the way around. Either way someone is not going to be happy.
There's selfishness in both sides which makes both scenarios painful for one or the other. Ending your pain is going to cause more pain, and wanting someone to live with the pain is just going to hurt that person even more. It's unfortunate but most of the time there is no happy ending for both sides.
My dudes I’m from the U.K. I love this channel man!! You guys deserve way more credit, best reactions are always from you guys!! WE GOTTA BRING THAT BACK!!!
Deep shit right there bro. Shout out to NFLDT for letting it out. Nothing wrong with coping with stuff when it hits home. Fuck what everybody else thinks.
Its funny for me to watch this because my friends showed me this video a few months ago because I had never heard of Joyner Lucas. They wanted to see my reaction... And it was just like the guy's reaction on the left. I held it in about halfway through the song... I mean I could empathize with either perspective but that scenario hits so close to home.... And it just got sadder and sadder as the song progressed.... By the end of the video I was do it like an "ugly cry". It's like the way I cry when I saw the Notebook for the first time
Mental illness has a lot of causes and takes many forms. It's something I've dealt with since childhood. The best description I've ever heard for being suicidal is that it's like when someone jumps from a burning building. You feel like you're going to die either way, so you choose your own end. It's hard to imagine a person being in so much inner pain that the only way to escape is to commit suicide but many many people struggle with it daily. There are so many things that we can all understand better about each other from mental illness to cultural differences. Listening to another person with the honest attempt to understand goes a long way.
This is the most deep, and realist reaction I have seen.. You guys are amazing, and def. a long time sub. I relate to DT, it has hit home for me, and suicidal thoughts has went through my head plenty of times a while back ago but fought through it. So this song is deep and has ALLOT of meaning to me.. Thanks guys for reacting to it. Much love!
Finally been waiting for y'all to react to this bros y'all up and coming man got y'alls slogans down and everything y'all need to react to Joyner Lucas- Ross carppaciono
I had tears first time I listened to it. I had some shit I was going through and I found this song at literally the right time. It’s like the lyrics were literally speaking directly at me. I still get goosebumps.
Respect the nfl man. Not afraid to show that true emotion. This song and video still tears me up today. I think its the deepest realist shit ive ever heard. And its a masterpiece. A work of art! Should be studied and played to generations to come. Touch my heart hard. Respect joyner
3 mins in that's the look of a man who's lost someone or knows someone who's life has been rocked by losing someone and either just realizing or remembering the gravity of what that can do to the human mind. And seeing that is crushing
Threw the lyrics he made it sound like it was a brother that committed suicide, so I looked it up. A few months before recording the song his step dad's friend killed himself. These things are happening to much. Love one another. Once again good video guys. Keep it moving
NFLDT, you're a man for letting this get to you. I've been there and I've lost friends to it. Based on the reality of the situation in the song, Joyner did a Reddit AMA. One of the questions asked something along the lines of What is something that's happened to you that really struck home and he replied to the comment stating something like look up this song. So, I think it is true, that he found his friend or he's lost a friend to their own hand.
I can relate to both verses. I'm glad and sad at the same time because i was able to get awayfrom thoughts of suicide but couldn't help people that were part of my life.
I know I am late getting to it. I heard the joint for the first time as your reaction. With pure love & respect....I could not of had better company to share this experience. As an elder, I am so hopeful & proud to know that the two of you exist. Life is real and often painful. Those that can put words with the emotions have a much better chance at peace & survival. What strong examples you are for others! READ THESE COMMENTS FROM YOUR SUPPORTERS! When folks are "real" with you; you don't hear them, you feel them. Stay on your path.
I’ve started liking your vids before I even watch them, you are that good! You two are real, intelligent and funny as hell. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Dope ass song- As someone who has suicidal thoughts, I often think the world wouldn't miss me - or people around me would be better off- but I got 4 kids that I could never do that to. But it is also why I have never owned a gun. I definitely understand the mindset. That 'easy' way out usually happens after yrs of suffering. It really hits close here as well as a young (20-ish) girl I knew just took her own life last month. She thought no one cared and couldn't see her value- and left a community rocked. It is a tough tough thing to see.
I just randomly came across this video. I had never heard of you guys or this particular rapper. I AM TRULY MOVED BRO!! WOW!! I'm going to have to look into this guy further. I was genuinely tearing up right alongside you. I've had way too many friends do this to me 😢
Just found out a close friend of mine from middle school took her own life. We played volleyball and soccer together and she was a grade under me, she had only started highschool. She had her whole life ahead of her, and she was an amazing soul, you'd never think she'd do something like that. I feel guilty for not talking to her more.
I know this an old video n comments. Dt i cried too man because ive experienced this myself. Worse place your head could be in. I hope the bruddas are good n going strong. Peace.
DT stay Up bro I Don't Know You Guys this my first video but this song hit home for me too lost my uncle from suicide its sad got to keep pushing Bro ...💯

If Joyner was more popular this would have won a Grammy.
If Joyner was more popular, all of his songs would have won a Grammy. lol
Cardi B won one before him and j cole...
Tyler Villa drake beat him with gods plan 😑 Joyner is so much better
@@hectorcervantes3978 facts Drake is trash
Here after joyner won a grammy
It's okay to show emotion don't let anyone tell you that's bad you never want to hold on to stuff because it builds up and explodes at one time
DANTH3MAN in was raised that way....
To hide my emotions and not to cry no matter what happens...
Real men cry about real shit !
I need to hone that advice myself !
Joyners cousin committed suicide. Thats the meaning behind the song
david woomer joyner explained that hes never been through that. He havent had anyone he knows commit suicide. But he knows people that had friends who has and used that to make his own story.
No he didn't. His stepfathers friend committed suicide, and his younger brother and son told him they were suicidal at one point too. He did and interview on why he made the song. You can look for it on google.

Aye don't dawg on your bro, he is reliving a difficult moment and you are trying to make him feel bad for being soft
and if the guy ever goes through some hard times he might think about the time his friend clowned him for Being real about his emotions
Dude gettin misty eyed is a true testament on how much impact this song has. Joyner Lucas a real MC....
It’s allergy season again DT, I understand bro

Moo
Depression is an evil disease.
Its a disorder not a disease
Major Depressive *Disorder*
Post Traumatic Stress *Disorder*
Multiple Personality *Disorder*
Not disease
But it is evil tho
DT seriously bro. Your reaction and tears says a lot about your personality. Nothing wrong with crying man, shows you have a good heart. Shit gets to me every time because I lost two friends due to depression.
Man... I appreciate you guys doing that! That's a fuckin music video that has DT emotional. He's such a powerful artist.

Suicide doesn't take the pain away, it just passes it on to someone else.

i know this is an old comment but i hope you are still going strong
I appreciate it everybody Love All You Guys thanks for the comments and prayers
I hope god bless u all the way thru life 🙏🏾 believe in him and always admit things u did to him he will forgive u
It good to see you showing real emotions ❤️ The thing is when someone says it's selfish it's not it's just that sometimes the depression can be so bad that you can't see anyway out! I have been there several times and I have lost close family members also who have chosen to end their life! Mental health is at a crisis and more needs to be done! Especially in the music industry! Anyway enough of my rambling! Good reaction 🙂
Looking at it from the other side of the coin, it could be considered selfish to expect someone who doesn't want to be here to stay and suffer just so you don't feel sad that they gone. Shit is tough all the way around. Either way someone is not going to be happy.
Viktor Stagnetti spot on! :)
There's selfishness in both sides which makes both scenarios painful for one or the other.
Ending your pain is going to cause more pain, and wanting someone to live with the pain is just going to hurt that person even more.
It's unfortunate but most of the time there is no happy ending for both sides.
YoriJay very wise words!
NFLDT you my man, let that shit out
My dudes I’m from the U.K. I love this channel man!! You guys deserve way more credit, best reactions are always from you guys!! WE GOTTA BRING THAT BACK!!!
Harjeet Paul 💯💯💯✊🏾
Deep shit right there bro. Shout out to NFLDT for letting it out. Nothing wrong with coping with stuff when it hits home. Fuck what everybody else thinks.
Hey, emotions are one of the realest feelings in this life. He’s a real one for feeling the message like that.
Shout out to DT, showing emotions is ok, we need more of that in this world🖤
DT is the real man here. so pure. god bless him. and im sorry for his loss.
Love y'all reaction to that song. Don't worry DT, I cried too. Ain't even gonna lie.

Shit I never cry but I got close with this video. Damn I been through shit like this. It's that "FUCK" that got me damn so real
I Love that, when people show their emotions!❤
Mental illness has a lot of causes and takes many forms. It's something I've dealt with since childhood. The best description I've ever heard for being suicidal is that it's like when someone jumps from a burning building. You feel like you're going to die either way, so you choose your own end. It's hard to imagine a person being in so much inner pain that the only way to escape is to commit suicide but many many people struggle with it daily. There are so many things that we can all understand better about each other from mental illness to cultural differences. Listening to another person with the honest attempt to understand goes a long way.
One of my favorite artists of all time is Joyner lucas because he spits such real shit and close to the heart shit I respect him so much
This is the most deep, and realist reaction I have seen.. You guys are amazing, and def. a long time sub. I relate to DT, it has hit home for me, and suicidal thoughts has went through my head plenty of times a while back ago but fought through it. So this song is deep and has ALLOT of meaning to me.. Thanks guys for reacting to it. Much love!
BlackDeath41 glad yu fought thru💯💯

I had tears first time I listened to it. I had some shit I was going through and I found this song at literally the right time. It’s like the lyrics were literally speaking directly at me. I still get goosebumps.

Keya Hollis thank you 🙏🏾
Respect the nfl man. Not afraid to show that true emotion. This song and video still tears me up today. I think its the deepest realist shit ive ever heard. And its a masterpiece. A work of art! Should be studied and played to generations to come. Touch my heart hard. Respect joyner

If you ever held a crying man... that shit break your heart
I fwy for actually reacting to this shit. I cried when I first heard it too man
You do you. You got hit deep. Thank you for letting us see you and I’m sorry for your loss.
NFLDT thanks for not trying to play tough. Ya reaction is genuine, it shows you'rea human with a heart. It did me the same way son😂😂
I'm so glad I found this song......... I can relate so much.
Don’t be ashamed to cry. It’s a sad thing to watch someone give up
DT, I feel you bro. Saw the change in you while watching this; same change that happens in me when watching this. Shit really hits home.
There nothing more powerful then black man who can shed real tears with no shame.
Aww NFLDT ❤️❤️
Im so sorry DT but you know what. Its the real emotions that make this reaction great. Thanks for that real reaction to this song.
I cried with DT ! Real man ! Loves up!
Joyner is the man. You guys are amazing so keep up the good work
3 mins in that's the look of a man who's lost someone or knows someone who's life has been rocked by losing someone and either just realizing or remembering the gravity of what that can do to the human mind. And seeing that is crushing
Subscribed for the genuine reaction 👌🏻
when I first listened this song and watched the video it brought tears to my eyes as well, deep shit.
Threw the lyrics he made it sound like it was a brother that committed suicide, so I looked it up. A few months before recording the song his step dad's friend killed himself. These things are happening to much. Love one another. Once again good video guys. Keep it moving
he found his cousin thats why its so emotional
DT you the man, being around suicide all my life, seems to common for everyone yet a touchy subject at the same time. One love!
Ye finally I’ve been waiting for this
When you really live with that pain...aint nun to cry...fuck proving anythang to anyone...only you know your struggles and pain
Yooo don’t stress man I get worked up every time I hear this song it’s just deep af keep it up guys y’all keepin it real
I cried too much after watching this I haven't cried till I saw it today
Can't stop listening to this song
NFLDT, you're a man for letting this get to you. I've been there and I've lost friends to it.
Based on the reality of the situation in the song, Joyner did a Reddit AMA. One of the questions asked something along the lines of What is something that's happened to you that really struck home and he replied to the comment stating something like look up this song. So, I think it is true, that he found his friend or he's lost a friend to their own hand.
Great reaction much love from the UK fam👍👊✊
NFLDT just had some allergies is all.
I can relate to both verses. I'm glad and sad at the same time because i was able to get awayfrom thoughts of suicide but couldn't help people that were part of my life.
Real emotions shows you get the song. Joyner is legitimately the only rapper that does this to me, respect to you guys for reacting to this
I know I am late getting to it. I heard the joint for the first time as your reaction. With pure love & respect....I could not of had better company to share this experience.
As an elder, I am so hopeful & proud to know that the two of you exist. Life is real and often painful. Those that can put words with the emotions have a much better chance at peace & survival.
What strong examples you are for others! READ THESE COMMENTS FROM YOUR SUPPORTERS!
When folks are "real" with you; you don't hear them, you feel them.
Stay on your path.
Jodi Hedge appreciate the love‼️‼️
Hey DT, I am there wit you ma dude, It got real when the heat was on the glass. never feel bad for lettin sh*t get to you, a life is a life.
FIRST NIGGA, but I been wanting to listen to this I heard a lot of sad reactions . My nigga cried I know it must be good
DT slick. Hes yawning and his eyes are tearing up and hes saying it's the song. Lol 😂😂

GREG ROBINSON 💪💯
That second look.... bro your eyes really watery 😅😅 they way he said it lool
I’ve started liking your vids before I even watch them, you are that good! You two are real, intelligent and funny as hell. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Laurie Cloonan appreciate that✊🏾
I’m late asf but dis go me in my feelings
Dope ass song- As someone who has suicidal thoughts, I often think the world wouldn't miss me - or people around me would be better off- but I got 4 kids that I could never do that to. But it is also why I have never owned a gun. I definitely understand the mindset. That 'easy' way out usually happens after yrs of suffering. It really hits close here as well as a young (20-ish) girl I knew just took her own life last month. She thought no one cared and couldn't see her value- and left a community rocked. It is a tough tough thing to see.
I just randomly came across this video. I had never heard of you guys or this particular rapper. I AM TRULY MOVED BRO!! WOW!! I'm going to have to look into this guy further. I was genuinely tearing up right alongside you. I've had way too many friends do this to me 😢
I deal with these feelings every day... whether my family would miss me or not.... whether the world is better off without me or not...
Aye Bro ! Big hearts shed real tears....
this is deep shout out to yall
Tbh, I cried when I heard this song😂 everything he saying I know
Raw emotion bro. Real reaction n great song. I'm subscribing
When a man can show real emotion without fear, that’s sexy. Don’t let nobody tell you any different!!
There goes a real one right there.

We gotta bring that back.
Just found out a close friend of mine from middle school took her own life. We played volleyball and soccer together and she was a grade under me, she had only started highschool. She had her whole life ahead of her, and she was an amazing soul, you'd never think she'd do something like that. I feel guilty for not talking to her more.
love the channel. 💯💯🌋🌋
