    My uncle was a huge fan of Ill Bill. He got a lot of inspiration from his music and such. For me personally the song is almost too accurate. He was always like a big brother. He never made me feel like a dumbass kid. My uncle though did die of an overdose. Every time I hear this song I feel close to him. Cause it’s one his favorite artists. He was only 32. If I make it to the gates of heaven i hope you’re their uncle Stephen.

    This song always hits so close to home, I was raised by my grandmother, and my uncle was the only male role model in my life. I lost both of them 8 years ago, both to cancer, even though my uncle was an addict all his life, and there are so many parallels in this song its insane.

    I'm sorry for your loss. The only thing you can do when someone dies. Is be aware that life isn't forever, live your life to the fullest and spend time with your relatives, friends, and love ones. Life isn't forever. One day I will die and everyone will die. Life is too short. Do many things in your life because everything will be gone. R.i.p to your dad may he rest his soul.
    I wish everyone well. Be safe everyone ❤️💕
    I hope each and every individual on earth lives a happy and peaceful life❤️

    Shows how you really think and can perform on any level.
    That's real talent, very under rated I feel.
    I followed the entire journey from when you guys started documenting UH.. This track was touching bro.
    I'm sure there are people in the world hurting and feeling the same way and this song might bring them some comfort, which is the gift you were given to share with the world.
