    62 years old and my second oldest son shared this song with me. We are both struggling to deal with the death of my eldest son, his big brother in December. The lyrics broke my heart all over again, but helped me release some of the pain bottled up inside. Thank you for writing these amazing lyrics. I hope you know how much Jordan and I miss you Shane.

      For what it’s worth, I do too. Sometimes I get in moods where I just get mad and blue and everything sucks. I don’t want to do drugs because I know that ain’t gonna help. I can be around friends, and it still ain’t enough. I still have yet to get over this hill, but until then, I guess I just gotta live with it. I wish you guys the best. It’s not easy, but your depression and anxiety don’t define you, believe it or not. God bless.

    I met KRIT two months after my 5 year old died in 2010. He was playing at the Rock House and my Homeboy insisted that I go to see the man whose song “Something” that played on repeat in the days after my son Kalib died. Just my son Jakai and I listening to KRIT as Soul Food to help us bare losing Kalib. As I type this Jakai died at the age of 18 in September 2021 ..Now here I sit a childless mother playing these songs yet again in search of some food for my famished soul. KRIT your music has provided the sound track for some of my hardest days. ✊🏿

      I cry every time I hear it. I lost my wife to COVID April 24th. She was my everything, my twin flame and soulmate, my best and only friend, my dream girl. I won the real lotto getting to be so close to her. She is still all of those things because even though she’s passed from this world I still feel her love everyday. I’m gonna be alone the rest of my life because no girl could measure up to her and I couldn’t ever get physical or romantic with anyone else, those aspects of me belong to her and always have and will. I have to hold on to hope and faith that I’ll be reunited with her and all the family and friends I’ve lost. Anyone reading this please hold your significant other tight and close and give them a kiss and tell them what they mean to you, some of us can’t do that anymore and feel blessed they are still in your life.

That speaks more volumes than record sales. On his new album he says something about how social media negatively affects him, but I think he need to see this comment section because it will touch his soul to see what his work does for so many human beings all over the world.

      Thank you for your service. It saved mine too a few days ago. I lost my wife April 24th this year to COVID and it gets harder everyday. She was my everything. I didn’t believe in soulmates until I met mine. She was the brightest spot in a dark life. Whoever reads this please hold your significant other close and tight and kiss them and look them in the eyes and tell them what they mean to you and how much and why you love them. Do it for you and them and do it for those of us that can’t do that anymore. Write them poems from the heart and get them flowers and surprise them with their favorite food and gifts that have meaning and can be used to make whatever experiences you have together that much more meaningful.

    My Wife and I lost our baby ten plus years ago and I remember the raw feelings I had when I heard the line about the mother losing her child, you struck a different chord my g. Especially as an artist, I felt that one deep; so appreciative of this song. I came here to leave a (new) comment only to realize I already did back in #2019. I really don’t care though. I love this song so much. When people I collaborate with who help direct/shoot my #videos ask me for my favorite music videos esthetics-wise, as examples - I send this to them 90% of the time, even when telling producers the sound I’m going for. Here I am, almost ten years later; still listening to this #timeless #song & #track in-addition to ANY #new material from you, #brother. Thank you so much for this one, Krit. Praying and believing one day we’ll collaborate. And even if we don’t, I’ll be coming back to this one; time and time again - for an undeniable, untouched level/depth of inexplainable inspiration. May GOD continue to bless you, my g 💪🏾✊🏾👏🏾🙏🏾💪🏾✊🏾👏🏾

    It's only God's will, she said she felt the same.
    It's funny how the sun will up and battle rain
    As if the clouds couldn't stand to see me outside again
    Wrote a rhyme that was kind, with some vision to it
    Bottom line, it might expand yo mind if you listen to it
    Too much shine can dull the soul
    If you feel how I feel then I rap some more
    How can the Devil take my brother if he's close to me
    When he was everything I wasn't but I hoped to be
    I get a little honest, and I ask my self
    If the time come will you save me if I ask for help
    Send my mind on a journey to the outermost
    To document what it had seen, and Cc: me the notes
    And ask Kurt Cobain why, cause I need to know
    He stopped when he had such a long way to go
    I saw love in the eyes of a perfect stranger
    She overlooked my caring heart in search of a gangsta
    Will we ever be together? Only time will tell
    She called my phone and talk to me as her eye would swelled
    I put my problems in box beside my tightest rhymes
    Under lock and key, buried deep off in my mind
    And when it gets too full, and I can't close the lid
    I spaz on my family and my closest friends
    Trade my materials for a piece of mind
    I'm so close to Heaven, Hell I just need some time
    Who cares about life, and the highs and lows
    Maybe I should write another song about pimps and hoes
    Cars and clothes, Idol Gods, Golden Cabs, Louie Scarfs
    I do this for the love, and it's free of charge
    I don't need jail to be behind bars
    This is purely art, in my Grandma's household this was surely taught
    Don't be naive, yea these time's is hard. In the midst of all the glamor, hope you find god
    I never wished to be the burden bearer
    But souls need saving and it's now or never
    Shock value is all they wanna see
    It's us against them, and it's just you and me
    Try to take heed what I say in my songs
    Forgive me if I ever ever steered you wrong
    Most people stop for signs, but I've driven through it
    If it don't touch my soul, then I can't listen to it
    The radio don't play the shit I used to love
    Or maybe I'm just growing up
    I never seen a star on a red rug
    If I wanna see a stars I just look above
    To the Heavens
    I know you been down so long, So I'll be stronger for you
    I know you been down so long, Cause I've been down too
    Yes I understand, What you're goin through
    Yes I understand, Cause I'm goin through it too
    I pray that you find your way, and all things old become new
    I pray that you find your way for my sake, cause I'm lost too
    Yes I Understand, What you're goin through
    Yes I understand, Cause I'm goin through it too
    I lost my friend this mornin', woke up screamin her name
    She meant so much to me, I'm scared I won't be the same
    Hope you understand, what I'm goin through
    Hope you understand, when I call out for you
    To vent.

    Still listen to this song regularly. "How could the devil take my brother if he's close to me, he was everything I wasn't but I hoped to be." My brother took his life while he was on the phone with me 3 years ago. It hit home like a ton of bricks....

    "A mother lost her child, I tried to ease her pain,
    'it's only God's will,' she said she felt the same."
    Prophetic words. They directed my path towards God more than I could ever comprehend.
    Thank you KRIT. Appreciate your work.
