Rip Earl Simmons. Damn near had every album of DMX as a teenager. Always looked forward to hearing his prayers on every album. Never met the man but felt connection with him through his music. Fathers and their sons. We love you DMX.
I’m a Mommy of 3 boys and sang along to this as a “Daddy” ..❤ felt and genuine in every song he never put out for generations to come! Rest in Heaven my G
Yeah brother,for real this shook me so hard as he's just so real regardless all he's been thru, bro I too can relate yes I came soooo close,and feeling that way right now even though I no I won't,can't, yes I'm look up to by many yet I suffer, and got very depressed too,yet I'm coming out all of this,dmx.music as this so close song broght me out of all my situations, yes me too way yo bless to be this stress yet I was, dmx music is for Antone who's real within their selves,and just like this his real music can help,self explain, r.I.p. solder X. You too will be miss for life,love your brother,thank you,I'm smiling peace!!!!
Dmx and Tupac , no one else even comes close . The two realest. Every track . Every emotion . They can pull it out of you , never just a song to fill a CD. Every track a story you can feel. Yeah there are good rappers . But there will never be another dmx. The growl alone . And u know it's on! "Call your father " can't not tear up on that one. Damn
my words.. I know more than 10k emcees but none are like those 2 when it comes to exactly that, EMOTION. You feel what they spit.. They spit from the heart n soul.
Agreed.. his honesty and transparency go absolutely unmatched. No gimmick No hype.. he spoke what he knew, what he went thru and he most desired... Redemption!
@@adamlove_ no Nas doesn't even come close IN THAT REGARD. Nas writes better than both of them yes. Nas is an emcee, but touching your soul just with his voice? Nah, he does it with he way he writes.

MY USHER BOO Probably WAS thinking about his Father as he was singing . I WAS HAPPY THAT HE MADE UP WITH HIS FATHER BEFORE HE PASSED AWAY. RIP USHER RAYMOND 3RD. .😭❤
This made me cry because I remember my father used to tell me to call him and I used to be selfish and told him your the father call me ....and now he's gone😞
I FUCKING LOST IT AND CRIED SO FUCKING HARD CAUSE I FELT THE SAME PAIN AND KNEW HOW IT TORMENTED X CAUSE HE TRULY GAVE A FUCK HIS KIDS AND LOVED EACH ONE OF THEM TO DEATH. THAT TYPE OF PAIN TAKES A LOT OF A MANS HEART N SOUL AND FIGHTING THOSE DEMONS DAILY STARTS TAKING CHUNKS OF YOUR HEART OUT AND THAT PAIN ITS EVERY INCH OF YOUR SOUL.
According to Swizz, when Xavier first heard the song he was super happy and clapping because of the joy he felt hearing it. Look up the latest Swizz Beatz Breakfast Club interview.
"WOW" This Song Literally Took My Breath Away And Truely Brought Me To Tears Earl DMX Simmons Was One Of A Kind A Living Legend In His Time Such A Beautiful Song....Rest DMX R I.P 😪💖💖💖
You heard his son response. Shoulda been there when I needed you. End. So sad he doesn't get how important fathers are even if they dick up big time. Like damn write a letter back.
For real man! As a father that's all we want though is for them to be better then us and happier! I might have a son not sure he will be 11 this year mother said he wasn't mine i suspect he is and bonded with him when he was younger then she began to keep him from me haven't seen him in over 5 years still think of him often

Allways dmx is the best ever his 1st 5 album's rocked my world 🌎♥an I love my last hope blood red was a classic. Think slipping is my best track ever love u dog 🐕❤
Lord I ask that you cover all of DMX’s family , friends, and faithful fans. Right now I ask that you be with his children. Each and every one of them. This track / song showed just how much love & acknowledgment he had for them. This song was dedicated specifically to his oldest Xavier and I ask that as you cover them all surround him a little tighter as this song is now open for the world. It was a private issue that they went through which became public. May he always remember the genuine tears and love his Daddy had for him. It could be seen on Iyanla Fix my Life. That man loved you and the Lord. May he rest in Glory🕊👑♥️🙏🏽
Damn this got me crying like a baby. I have two sons who are 7 and 8. Over the years my drug use has got the best of me and I'm ashamed to say I haven't been there as much as I should have been. My father isn't in my life due to his addiction and here I am doing the same thing to my sons. I'm approaching 3 months clean and sober and praying I make it this time so I can be the father that they need and deserve
I can't stop playing this song... X's pain and honesty, Usher's voice and that damn violin... 😢 my father will never admit to his mistakes. To hear a man own up to his is powerful... thank you for this gift, DMX #RIH
This song literally made me cry. I had to hear it over and over again. Brian King did an amazing job. Usher had great vocals. DMX? By far the most emotion I ever felt coming out of you. I’ve said it for years and I will say it again, DMX is the GREATEST RAPPER OF ALL TIME.... people please listen to X.... call your fathers. My father died 3 weeks ago and I thank God I made emends. It truly may not be too late. God bless you all
I had to bury a man that I thought didn't love me and left me. But when I became a mom and i saw that bond that I didn't have, it wasn't about me anymore. And then he died on us. I had to bury a man I never knew but I did my best and I wish I could take back all my resentment because I feel that he did love me through my child.
@@leebarlowx795 yup, they should have went the emotional route for a single since Slippin hits different now. Didn't need a hard track to be the preview for the album.
@@GreenNotes007 i agree but 2pac wasnt ever a crack head or did women the way dmx did...so the contrast is more for x...but i will never argue against pacs heart
@@GreenNotes007 Define “most heart.” You talking about courage/bravery, love, passion, what? I see Pac’s name brought up often on DMX videos in this same context. But it always comes off as just this thing you’re supposed to say. Kinda like when discussing the greatest rappers of all time and automatically Pac and BiG are the first names… even from people who weren’t around and couldn’t name five of their songs that weren’t singles or on used in movies/mixtapes. So I’m not being negative, sarcastic, or combative… I’m genuinely asking what it was/is that puts Pac at the top of that particular list.
Love pac but he was borderline homosexual. X was a real dog, a man’s man. PAC was so educated and full of talent but wanted to go the gangsta route and payed the price. X was from the gutter and tried to avoid his demons and keep his circle small “I don’t like drama so I stay to myself”. Dark Man X was a different breed.
a❤️ as big as the rotten Apple, he had more heart then most. A man you could approach cause he went there where you just never would go to, I feel sorry for his addiction, but yo "Rick James bitch" he was a victim to his struggles, in the end... let us pray... DMX
To all his kids legitimate or otherwise. Call on God who is our Father....DMX was spiritual and this had a meaning only spiritually connected people will most likely understand. Don't be foolish to not hear the message despite the messenger. God speaks through who he chooses....this is that Time. Call your spiritual Father
Il n'y a aucun doute à avoir : DMX aimait son fils ainé, il aimait tout ses enfants. DMX aurait voulu leurs accorder bien plus d'attention et d'amour mais il était en bataille avec ses démons.
Can’t imagine how it felt for his son to hear this for the first time after it was too late.. I hope they made peace with each other before he left us. R.I.P
@@donajor8 At least in 2019 they were good. There were pictures posted in that year from X, Swizz and Xavier on social media. It's not that because this song is released now, the lyrics are from last month. Also Desi and Xavier are in pictures together.
It was about him. Swiss was on the breakfast club today talking about how he brought X's son Xavier to the studio to hear the album before everyone else. He liked it.
I sent this song to my son last night hes gonna be 20 this year hes my oldest we have had a tough journey but we have our love and bond restored..rip X
When he said on That's my Dog: "Im the best and that's something i'm taking to the grave" or in Hood Blues: "I ain't 50 years old for nothing" or here in Letter to my son "What if it's when i'm gone when you realize that you're wrong"... or that drink champs interview when he said if he would of die he lived a good life... damn
Man it’s the saddest knowing he was making this for his son to hear he wasn’t expecting to pass before this album that’s what hits the hardest I called my dad right after I heard this rip x
I'm crying because I want to call my dad, it's been about 10yrs. And as a female I have always loved my dad.... The difference is X admitted his wrong and his not being there for him 😭😭, my dad will not.... Long live X May he Rest In Paradise ❤️😭
As a father of two , who also struggled with drugs , and depression this song touched me … You did It X .. 🔥🔥🔥 Rest In Peace .. this song motivates me so much RIP King
He bought all DMX masters for only 10million and this so it's weird how he all sudden died...... he got killed an he felt it coming. Watch his last sermon telling us to pray for ourselves bc he cant nomore. They been after him forever and Diddy behind it too. They satanic occult rituals members and unfortunately X signed his soul but he repented and been since and he exposed them all. They all get murdered if the speak especially w the word of Jesus!! I wish his family was getting it but nope he made sure to die in debt bc of scripture. What is it to gain the entire world but sell your soul, give up your worldly possession and come to me my child-Jesus X did just that an that's why Swiss said what he said at his funeral about how all them showed up but where were they when he got played. Now Jay is getting paid like crazy bc everyone is going crazy listening an streaming . This is free on RUclips, dnt give that devil nothing!! God bless you all!!
Was on the highway when I heard this...just started crying uncontrollably cuz I felt every word. I'm in that same position. Just started building a relationship with my dad after 20 plus years of him not being there.☹ R.I.P X
I haven’t felt so touched emotionally by a song in a long time. Helped me see things from my father side who I still hold grudges against for things that happended a long time ago. Life is not easy and we men are not taught to open up and ask for forgiveness which results in no closure. This song really made me think about my dad and big up to X who opened up.
@JohnEirikson I encourage you to not let what happened dictate today as if it’s still yesterday. Yesterday will never come back to us. So, each day should be progressive towards a better life if all possible. Peace and Blessings to your journey of restoration with your father before it’s to late.
X said, "you're a man looking through the eyes of a woman". That shit deeper than rap, for a lot of men. As a man raised by my mother, I've never looked at it that way, and now I know why, now I understand. Thank you X, once again you've opened my eyes to life through you're music. You did for me when I was 9, and here you are still doing it for me at 32. #LongLiveDarkMan #YourBiggestFan
The way I took that was, for all these females to quit trying to demonize men! All too often when a couple splits apart they always want to make it seem like the guy is so dirty and so wrong but that's just coming from one perspective the females... The hurt female at that!
Since I was the same age aswell bro. First listened to his music around 9/10 now I’m 20 and still got X as my #1 artist it broke me when he passed away in April couldn’t believe it would happen so soon as it seemed he got his life together and was off Drugs n Alcohol
In X’s case the kids from his marriage got a front row seat to their father stepping out on their mother drug use, and their mother holding him down until she couldn’t anymore. Their looking through that woman’s eyes because their father left her in a position where she had no choice but to raise her children and hold them down because he as the other parent, couldn’t because of business, past pain, etc.,.. I don’t mean to speak Ill of the dead, but X wasn’t an Angel. This song was about him begging his son to make right the wrongs he committed against him and to fix what was broken. At least X was trying. Many don’t try.
My sons "homegoing" anniversary is on Monday and this got me fallin apart. I miss my son as I'm sure his sons are missing their father. RIP DMX and RIP to my son
My mom and dad were addicts most of their lives. My dad was deported when i was 8 never seen again. I was separated from siblings and went from house to house. God i hurt for his son cause i get both sides. Im 36 now and mom just died of brain cancer. None of us had closure. Alot of hurt pain and anger of what it could of been. What it should have been. Wish i could call my mama. Found my dad. Ill try and repair that. Thanks for the message. Peace be still to the king. And comfort for his son man. I get it.
Damn sorry for your hard life🙏. Can relate. Lost mom at 14. Never met my dad. Had a brother from my dad find me. Like long lost relative show. Ended up meeting my dad at 36. And am barely trying to start a relationship with him. Never too late to change. I forgive him. Because that hate would be poison for my soul if I carried a grudge 🙏 Keep your head up. Takes a certain kind of person to triumph through such a hard life💪
@@westgrown1119 its one day at a time with everything in life. One foot in front of another. Very sorry for your loss as well. As much as it sucks it builds strength. Peace be still. Thanks for sharing your story as well. Peace and love from Boston. ✌💚
@@finestjewels I know what you mean. I’m 37, I lost my dad last year to cancer. We didn’t repair our relationship before he passed. So this song hits me hard.
I am 7 years sober from alcohol. Dmx always spoke to me through his struggles. Sometimes we do what we have to do just to get by... Sometimes its hard facing yourself in the mirror, knowing all the wrong things you've done. But thats what seperates the weak from strong. Who just continues to do what they have to do and go to sleep knowing where their heart lies.
@@lovely4gem I got tired of starting over at jobs because I'd quit..... My patience was low when I drank. I also lost the friends I counted on. Was taken advantage of. I just had enough
I experienced the same. I'd get pissed off at other people. But realized I was pissed at myself for messing up so many times. Now, when I'm upset with someone, I'm a bit more patient and it's a valid reason
Poetically crafted from the Soul of a Man who's faith led him to love himself enough to admit his wrongs for the sake of his children. A TRUE MAN....LOVE U X! AND THANK YOU #GARRISONRECORDZ

"when you were a kid, you played with toys Now you're a man, put them toys away!! " This is a beautiful song buh I don't know why this particular part hits me differently.
*People wanted Xs old flow. Well, he brought it here. Buy the album out of respect. Dont just stream on RUclips. Make this record set a record if you give a shit for real. Give him those flowers he worked so hard for.*
I'm 35 with 3 kids listening to DMX since I was a teen! This song knocks me on my ass crying in a ball! I love my kids so damn much I love my DAD thank you Earl you always reminded me to not loose faith for the one Above us!

I actually cried too. My father passed away in 97, this reminded me of him. I loved DMX like a father. He taught me so much about life. I feel for his kids. Much love to the family. Rest in power my friend.

This song will be right on time for Fathers Day. Happy “early” Fathers Day to all the Dads or men who stood up and stood in to help a mother by being a role model for those who needed it. Thank you and God bless you. 🙏🏾
RIP X💔💔💔 it’s 2am I’m listening to this song.. Anybody reading this and not know God, pls give your life to Him before it’s too late ♥️ God bless. Again RIP X Fly High my Brother.
This entire album is iconic. Like it was told...I can’t get it out of my head how somehow all of this, the verzuz battle, the rekindling of friendships & relationships coming full circle at the age of 50, DefJam realignment, the title of the album...everything being a part of a plan for him to up and die. In a weird way for his family to be taken care of!!! It’s just eerie with the track list and features: Alicia Keys (Swizz will always hold him down) Just my overthinking but a little truth somewhere .
Facts, I’m 43 and feel everything you wrote. Respect and live in peace dmx. I grew up on this mans words. Always heard the poetry not just the language most can’t interpret.
It's because our lives it's pre destined, GOD wrote our lives.. literally, the book of life is exactly that, the term life is a movie is true everything that happens it's no coincidence... DMX his life was written the way it's intended it was his destiny, we all have our own to fulfill
😩😩😩 This breaks my heart in many ways. X knew he messed up majorly. He just wanted his first born son to call him so he could talk to him & try to mend their broken bond 😭 RIP DMX
OMG between this track and Skyscrapers, I’m in tears..😢 I’m glad X and Xavier made peace before he passed. I recall seeing picture of him in studio with his Dad, while X and Swizz were working on album..
@@barb6868 as great of an entertainer he was-he was not the best father and caused a great deal of pain and trauma. That was x’s responsibility to fix/repair NOT his son’s
@@barb6868 A father who doesnt live with his Son or 17 children should make it his priority to spend Quality time with them.They both needed therapy so reaching out for intervention wasnt a bad idea. Unfortunately, Earl was in denial about his drug addiction and how it impacted his relationship with Xavier. Had Earl provided emotional security and comfort when Xavier was young, i think Xavier would've reached out to bond. Its sad that their relationship was never fully repaired. Swizz Beatsz said Xavier smiled when heard this special dedication from his Father.
^ EXACTLY. sitting here and saying what his son should have done and that he should have been a man and reached out blah blah--- listen I'm 32 and went through it. When I say went through it I mean went ALL THE WAY through it. (RIP DAD, MAY 2021) My Dad left my mom when I was 6 years old. He always loved me but could have been a way better father. At the least he could have stayed local or even in the same state until I was at least 18. Unfortunately he didnt, got re married and helped raise another womans children. while we did have something of a relationship it could have been way better and I was affected greatly by it. It goes both ways to be fair and there were many times people in my family told me to call my father and I didnt. There was also times he missed my birthday as a kid. So yes there was resentment. This is an unfortunate situation. Well my dad passed a month ago on May 6, 2021. This song hits hard. But please if you dont have anything nice to say and just wanna point fingers at people just sit down. You dont have the first handed life experience to be making those calls. Even then if you listen to the song you'll notice the chorus where it says "sorry I let you down" etc etc. For the most part children seek the most approval from their same sex parent. So in this situation for a son and father that are separated like that at such a young age it causes alot of emotional stress on both sides and greatly affects the life of the young man and his development. Do I regret not calling my father as much as I could have? Ofcorse. But I will continue to pray and I know that one day I will join him and be able to rest with him.

My son and I have had a fucked up relationship for awhile and this son speaks to me on so many levels. That last bar hits me the hardest " I love you boy".
This made me shed a tear for real. Tomorrow’s not promised y’all. Don’t take your loved ones for granted.
Yes😭😭😭😭😭🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹You can say that again

my dad too due to covid tho....im sorry for your loss
MINES 2🙏🏽
Send mines bro. Stay up
If I cry right now listening to this song imagine what his son right now is going through not being able to talk to his father
This made me cry because I remember my father used to tell me to call him and I used to be selfish and told him your the father call me ....and now he's gone😞
I FUCKING LOST IT AND CRIED SO FUCKING HARD CAUSE I FELT THE SAME PAIN AND KNEW HOW IT TORMENTED X CAUSE HE TRULY GAVE A FUCK HIS KIDS AND LOVED EACH ONE OF THEM TO DEATH. THAT TYPE OF PAIN TAKES A LOT OF A MANS HEART N SOUL AND FIGHTING THOSE DEMONS DAILY STARTS TAKING CHUNKS OF YOUR HEART OUT AND THAT PAIN ITS EVERY INCH OF YOUR SOUL.
According to Swizz, when Xavier first heard the song he was super happy and clapping because of the joy he felt hearing it. Look up the latest Swizz Beatz Breakfast Club interview.
"WOW" This Song Literally Took My Breath Away And Truely Brought Me To Tears Earl DMX Simmons Was One Of A Kind A Living Legend In His Time Such A Beautiful Song....Rest DMX R I.P 😪💖💖💖
You heard his son response. Shoulda been there when I needed you. End. So sad he doesn't get how important fathers are even if they dick up big time. Like damn write a letter back.
A son who grows up on silk sheets will never understand a father who comes from pain
For real man! As a father that's all we want though is for them to be better then us and happier! I might have a son not sure he will be 11 this year mother said he wasn't mine i suspect he is and bonded with him when he was younger then she began to keep him from me haven't seen him in over 5 years still think of him often

This 1 put tears in my eyes
It's like X was making peace with his big boy while basically telling look after the young ones for him .geezs this hit different 🤲🔥🔥🔥🤲
Lord I ask that you cover all of DMX’s family , friends, and faithful fans. Right now I ask that you be with his children. Each and every one of them. This track / song showed just how much love & acknowledgment he had for them. This song was dedicated specifically to his oldest Xavier and I ask that as you cover them all surround him a little tighter as this song is now open for the world. It was a private issue that they went through which became public. May he always remember the genuine tears and love his Daddy had for him. It could be seen on Iyanla Fix my Life. That man loved you and the Lord. May he rest in Glory🕊👑♥️🙏🏽

Damn this got me crying like a baby. I have two sons who are 7 and 8. Over the years my drug use has got the best of me and I'm ashamed to say I haven't been there as much as I should have been. My father isn't in my life due to his addiction and here I am doing the same thing to my sons. I'm approaching 3 months clean and sober and praying I make it this time so I can be the father that they need and deserve

I can't stop playing this song... X's pain and honesty, Usher's voice and that damn violin... 😢 my father will never admit to his mistakes. To hear a man own up to his is powerful... thank you for this gift, DMX #RIH
This comment right here.
Great comment.
Pray for your father. Pray against such forces working against him.
I have to stop playing this song because I got to work but I don't want to lol 😰
@@olaoye I've mourned that relationship already. Narcissists don't change. It is what it is.
This song literally made me cry. I had to hear it over and over again. Brian King did an amazing job. Usher had great vocals. DMX? By far the most emotion I ever felt coming out of you. I’ve said it for years and I will say it again, DMX is the GREATEST RAPPER OF ALL TIME.... people please listen to X.... call your fathers. My father died 3 weeks ago and I thank God I made emends. It truly may not be too late. God bless you all
Great testimony my brotha. Prayers for u and God made that time for u to do so. Sorry for your loss and may God shine His peace over you bro
I'm sorry to hear that my condolences to you and yours .
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 deepest condolences
I had to bury a man that I thought didn't love me and left me. But when I became a mom and i saw that bond that I didn't have, it wasn't about me anymore. And then he died on us. I had to bury a man I never knew but I did my best and I wish I could take back all my resentment because I feel that he did love me through my child.
16 years & still break down at the slightest fatherly thing, whether it be movies songs etc. Amazing song tho
This should have been the lead single. Reminds me of 2Pac's Letter 2 My Unborn Child song.
Agreed this song is the most powerful, god bless his son Xavier this must've hit him hard
@@leebarlowx795 yup, they should have went the emotional route for a single since Slippin hits different now. Didn't need a hard track to be the preview for the album.
Great minds thinking similar 🙏 now Pac n X can meet and make best music ever
@Aaron9 Go to bed Kid, you got school tomorrow
Sounds like Kasinova The Don “Mama”
through the drugs...and the women..and the wild songs....DMX still had the most heart
Pac did but I feel u
@@GreenNotes007 i agree but 2pac wasnt ever a crack head or did women the way dmx did...so the contrast is more for x...but i will never argue against pacs heart
@@GreenNotes007 Define “most heart.” You talking about courage/bravery, love, passion, what? I see Pac’s name brought up often on DMX videos in this same context. But it always comes off as just this thing you’re supposed to say. Kinda like when discussing the greatest rappers of all time and automatically Pac and BiG are the first names… even from people who weren’t around and couldn’t name five of their songs that weren’t singles or on used in movies/mixtapes. So I’m not being negative, sarcastic, or combative… I’m genuinely asking what it was/is that puts Pac at the top of that particular list.
Love pac but he was borderline homosexual. X was a real dog, a man’s man. PAC was so educated and full of talent but wanted to go the gangsta route and payed the price. X was from the gutter and tried to avoid his demons and keep his circle small “I don’t like drama so I stay to myself”. Dark Man X was a different breed.
a❤️ as big as the rotten Apple, he had more heart then most. A man you could approach cause he went there where you just never would go to, I feel sorry for his addiction, but yo "Rick James bitch" he was a victim to his struggles, in the end...
let us pray... DMX
I cry every time I hear it. No doubt he loved his son. This is a father speaking to his son. I love it.
🙏🏽
Bro I feel so bad for his oldest son !!!
I love it
To all his kids legitimate or otherwise. Call on God who is our Father....DMX was spiritual and this had a meaning only spiritually connected people will most likely understand. Don't be foolish to not hear the message despite the messenger. God speaks through who he chooses....this is that Time. Call your spiritual Father
Il n'y a aucun doute à avoir : DMX aimait son fils ainé, il aimait tout ses enfants.
DMX aurait voulu leurs accorder bien plus d'attention et d'amour mais il était en bataille avec ses démons.
This made me hold my son so tight. I pray we never grow apart as he grows. Can't stop these tears. I love you son
@J San I don’t think I will ever listen to this song and not cry...
My advice... Be there for them, even through dark times.
🙏🏼
Can’t imagine how it felt for his son to hear this for the first time after it was too late.. I hope they made peace with each other before he left us. R.I.P
They didnt
@@Scoopsaz88 Uhmmm yes they did... there are very recent pictures with Xavier and X together in good spirits
@@Scoopsaz88 yeah I don’t think they were on good terms cause clearly this song was on the newest album - but X loved his family for sure

It was about him. Swiss was on the breakfast club today talking about how he brought X's son Xavier to the studio to hear the album before everyone else. He liked it.

The industry did DMX so dirty
Heartbreaking song. The whole album had an eerie tone. Like he was saying goodbye. Skyscraper and this song were my favorite. 💔 RIP DMX
My two fav songs too, yeah it's almost as though he knew he was gonna die, the whole tone of the album, sad & eerie...
That was one of the first things I thought when hearing the album...
@@deepaklal3334 He didn’t know though
Wow being a DMX fan I felt the same thing with this Album! He knew and he was truly tired and ready to REST ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

or in Hood Blues: "I ain't 50 years old for nothing"
or here in Letter to my son "What if it's when i'm gone when you realize that you're wrong"...
or that drink champs interview when he said if he would of die he lived a good life... damn
This hit different. If this didn't make you cry there is something wrong with you . One of the best tracks on here
I was working when this one came on and let me tell you, it was fuckin close.

He bought all DMX masters for only 10million and this so it's weird how he all sudden died...... he got killed an he felt it coming. Watch his last sermon telling us to pray for ourselves bc he cant nomore. They been after him forever and Diddy behind it too. They satanic occult rituals members and unfortunately X signed his soul but he repented and been since and he exposed them all. They all get murdered if the speak especially w the word of Jesus!! I wish his family was getting it but nope he made sure to die in debt bc of scripture. What is it to gain the entire world but sell your soul, give up your worldly possession and come to me my child-Jesus X did just that an that's why Swiss said what he said at his funeral about how all them showed up but where were they when he got played. Now Jay is getting paid like crazy bc everyone is going crazy listening an streaming . This is free on RUclips, dnt give that devil nothing!! God bless you all!!

I haven’t felt so touched emotionally by a song in a long time. Helped me see things from my father side who I still hold grudges against for things that happended a long time ago. Life is not easy and we men are not taught to open up and ask for forgiveness which results in no closure. This song really made me think about my dad and big up to X who opened up.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 wish you peace with dad

@JohnEirikson I encourage you to not let what happened dictate today as if it’s still yesterday. Yesterday will never come back to us. So, each day should be progressive towards a better life if all possible. Peace and Blessings to your journey of restoration with your father before it’s to late.
That broke my heart man
X said, "you're a man looking through the eyes of a woman". That shit deeper than rap, for a lot of men. As a man raised by my mother, I've never looked at it that way, and now I know why, now I understand. Thank you X, once again you've opened my eyes to life through you're music. You did for me when I was 9, and here you are still doing it for me at 32. #LongLiveDarkMan #YourBiggestFan
Me 2 man. Me 2. 33 now my self.
The way I took that was, for all these females to quit trying to demonize men! All too often when a couple splits apart they always want to make it seem like the guy is so dirty and so wrong but that's just coming from one perspective the females... The hurt female at that!
@@MiamiBlossom that's exactly what he meant. Seeing dad through a hurt woman's eyes can distort a son's perception of his father.
Since I was the same age aswell bro. First listened to his music around 9/10 now I’m 20 and still got X as my #1 artist it broke me when he passed away in April couldn’t believe it would happen so soon as it seemed he got his life together and was off Drugs n Alcohol
In X’s case the kids from his marriage got a front row seat to their father stepping out on their mother drug use, and their mother holding him down until she couldn’t anymore. Their looking through that woman’s eyes because their father left her in a position where she had no choice but to raise her children and hold them down because he as the other parent, couldn’t because of business, past pain, etc.,.. I don’t mean to speak Ill of the dead, but X wasn’t an Angel. This song was about him begging his son to make right the wrongs he committed against him and to fix what was broken. At least X was trying. Many don’t try.
My sons "homegoing" anniversary is on Monday and this got me fallin apart. I miss my son as I'm sure his sons are missing their father. RIP DMX and RIP to my son

Hold your head bro...✊🏾🙏🏾

My mom and dad were addicts most of their lives. My dad was deported when i was 8 never seen again. I was separated from siblings and went from house to house. God i hurt for his son cause i get both sides. Im 36 now and mom just died of brain cancer. None of us had closure. Alot of hurt pain and anger of what it could of been. What it should have been. Wish i could call my mama. Found my dad. Ill try and repair that. Thanks for the message. Peace be still to the king. And comfort for his son man. I get it.
Damn sorry for your hard life🙏. Can relate. Lost mom at 14. Never met my dad. Had a brother from my dad find me. Like long lost relative show. Ended up meeting my dad at 36.

Man I know Xavier probably heard this and burst out in tears. His father had his vices but I don't doubt for one second that he loved him. R.I.P. DMX.
I am 7 years sober from alcohol. Dmx always spoke to me through his struggles. Sometimes we do what we have to do just to get by... Sometimes its hard facing yourself in the mirror, knowing all the wrong things you've done. But thats what seperates the weak from strong. Who just continues to do what they have to do and go to sleep knowing where their heart lies.
@@lovely4gem I got tired of starting over at jobs because I'd quit..... My patience was low when I drank. I also lost the friends I counted on. Was taken advantage of. I just had enough
I experienced the same. I'd get pissed off at other people. But realized I was pissed at myself for messing up so many times. Now, when I'm upset with someone, I'm a bit more patient and it's a valid reason
Poetically crafted from the Soul of a Man who's faith led him to love himself enough to admit his wrongs for the sake of his children.

This entire album is iconic. Like it was told...I can’t get it out of my head how somehow all of this, the verzuz battle, the rekindling of friendships & relationships coming full circle at the age of 50, DefJam realignment, the title of the album...everything being a part of a plan for him to up and die. In a weird way for his family to be taken care of!!! It’s just eerie with the track list and features: Alicia Keys (Swizz will always hold him down) Just my overthinking but a little truth somewhere .

@@barb6868 A father who doesnt live with his Son or 17 children should make it his priority to spend Quality time with them.They both needed therapy so reaching out for intervention wasnt a bad idea. Unfortunately, Earl was in denial about his drug addiction and how it impacted his relationship with Xavier. Had Earl provided emotional security and comfort when Xavier was young, i think Xavier would've reached out to bond. Its sad that their relationship was never fully repaired. Swizz Beatsz said Xavier smiled when heard this special dedication from his Father.
^ EXACTLY. sitting here and saying what his son should have done and that he should have been a man and reached out blah blah--- listen I'm 32 and went through it. When I say went through it I mean went ALL THE WAY through it. (RIP DAD, MAY 2021) My Dad left my mom when I was 6 years old. He always loved me but could have been a way better father. At the least he could have stayed local or even in the same state until I was at least 18. Unfortunately he didnt, got re married and helped raise another womans children. while we did have something of a relationship it could have been way better and I was affected greatly by it. It goes both ways to be fair and there were many times people in my family told me to call my father and I didnt. There was also times he missed my birthday as a kid. So yes there was resentment. This is an unfortunate situation. Well my dad passed a month ago on May 6, 2021. This song hits hard. But please if you dont have anything nice to say and just wanna point fingers at people just sit down. You dont have the first handed life experience to be making those calls. Even then if you listen to the song you'll notice the chorus where it says "sorry I let you down" etc etc. For the most part children seek the most approval from their same sex parent. So in this situation for a son and father that are separated like that at such a young age it causes alot of emotional stress on both sides and greatly affects the life of the young man and his development. Do I regret not calling my father as much as I could have? Ofcorse. But I will continue to pray and I know that one day I will join him and be able to rest with him.

My son and I have had a fucked up relationship for awhile and this son speaks to me on so many levels. That last bar hits me the hardest " I love you boy".
This is the deepest DMX song I’ve ever heard.
Usher’s Voice 👏🏾🔥
When he said "I love you boy" I felt that.
If this never touched you , you can’t be human 🤲🏽😢💔👑🕊
Build that relationship with your father man, I lost mine and it’s the biggest lost of my life.
