I lost my 2 sons in my life. No lie. I listen to this everyday. Cry everytime. Thank you Lux. This song does help me cope with their passing. I'm scared to have another. Maybe one day. 😔💯
I've never heard a song that truly helps you understand the depths of a father's love for his son. As a man with a great father who has done and given everything for me, I recognize the truth in this song. Lux I really respect you... As a lyricist... As an artist... As a man. Thank you Lux. Thank you.
I have always thought loaded lux was top 3 battle rappers all time. I have loved this song ever since the first time I heard and said I was gonna dedicate this song to my son if I ever had one... well, I found out today that my first lil one will be my lil man. This One's For You Son!
I'm a single father fighting for my three sons that they selfish don't care about no one but their self, and they believe they better then anyone else mother. I have two by one that are grown and my youngest that is 7 by another woman. And I'm fight for what's best for my son's not what's best for me. That's just being real and honest when it comes to what true love really is. I appreciate this track you made. Brother this is music ! And I thank you for your creativity! Hope you make many more. Much love and respect and I wish you and yours the best! Sincerely, Christopher L Clark. AkA BigBones
When it comes to rap hits about raising your seed, Xhibit's Foundation, Common's Retrospect for Life, and this Loaded Lux are my ultimate get real feel songs. Deep and inspiring. #truelove
"Even to my enemies and all ya penalties, may yo babies eyes always grant u serenity" damn that shits real u gotta respect ya op when they say some shit like that 💯
This song makes me cry every time I listen to it. I'm not a father, but I am a mother and this song pulls at my heart. I love my son so much, the purest love I've ever felt. The 54 dislikes for this song are probably the "dads" like my sons "dad" who don't do crap for their children. Thank you for making this song. I'll play this to my boy forever
That's like asking why didn't Nas life is good win the 2012 Grammys lol. Because it doesn't involve sex, money, materialistic shit. The radio nor the Grammys support real niggas / real HipHop with a message in today's time. This is too real for the radio, fuck the radio, industry & the Grammys.
JRL NETWORK lux is promoting responsible men being fathers and holding there little princes down....the industry cant make no money if black men are responsible.. smh
yo I remember when this song came out ...lux is martyr for us all looking at his work...knowledge giver and is probly why he doesn't get that much light on his music ....I appreciate him forever
Dayuuum what a POWERFUL song!!!!! Lux U just don't know how these lyrics will resonate to the many fathers who truly love their kids!!!! I saw my man's eyes tear up watching this video and hearing these words and all I can say is...WOW!!! WOW!!! Lux U did it...you brought Hip Hop back from the dead with REALNESS!!!!
"Here to get you to that other side that someone never reached, till I rest in peace, securing your future won't let me sleep, cause you was born to be that better me I'll never be, From your first steps, to my last breath. Reason I had stress, reason I have strength... This is what I live for..I'm raising you, you raising me, how can I live more for my lil man?...... I feel like this narrates the story between my father and I.. I'm living my father's dream and doing more. I only wish the same for my son when I have one.....Real shit lux, we need more of this issh on the radio.
The "lil man is/little manners" lines show the lyrical nature of Lux at the same time talking about something with meaning. How could you not feel this!?
Still listening to this song in 2022. This song inspired me to fight for my son as I went thru years & years of hurdles with the family court system. I also fought thru years of false allegations, cps/criminal investigations, and crooked opposing attorneys,....but I stayed the course. I stood 10 toes down with my head up and my hands together in prayer. For that......I can say "I have my Lil Man" as I have full custody of my son which is rare for brutha's these days.
Just found this... dedicating this to my son,my Lil Man...True Johnson!!! appreciate this one Loaded Lux!!!This shit like "Dear Mama"for our SONS!!! 🔥🔥 🔥🔥 🔥!!!
Proud father of 4 boys and 1 girl, I salute you LUX Your changing the definition of Real Rap with this one...To many songs about guns, drugs and thugs not enough songs about real men doing real things...definitely an anthem right there Lux & very inspiring "This is True Love"
we had it back in the day.. Ed OG and The Bulldogs.. "Be a father to your child".. etc.. that whole era was full of positive music.. but none of the positive dudes are Billionaires now.. only the ones talking about slangin dope and shooting people.. go figure.
and if the stars guys eyes on the planet, heaven plant em on me planted in the hammock, daydreaming, thinking bout my lil man! my lil man! gon’ be given an advantage, time i train em out them pampers, till i take em to a campus, let me raise em to be samson, strong and given chances, little manners, saying please, saying thank you, little menace, he’s getting older, never over, i can’t always be a chauffeur, but leave em something to chauffeur, it helps to play the game when you got someone near to coach you, i hold you shoulder to shoulder, bring us a little closer, cause i want to! not cause i’m supposed to! this true love [chorus: loaded lux] yeah! this what i live for! i’m raising you, you raising me, how can i live more for my little man? huh, my little man! and still my head high with my back against the wall, and i’ll be standing tall, till i fall, i give my all, yall for my little man! you hear me, big man? [verse 2: loaded lux] may you never feel abandoned, and all ya tomorrow’s granted pictures of your parents, but you paint your own canvas, lil man, grab my hand! let me help you understand it, as i cross you through these streets til you stand on your own feet, here to get you to that other side that someone never reach, till i rest in peace, securing your future won’t let me sleep, cause you was born to be that better me i’ll never be, from your first steps, to my last breath, reason i had stress, reasons i have strength, and when yo enemy remember me in past tense, fought to my bad rib, every single ad lib, even to my enemies, and all yo penalties, may your babies eyes always grant you serenity! i’m with my lil man, hand to hand, him and me, i’ll be a proud father to my last memory, it’s true love! [chorus: loaded lux] yeah! this what i live for! i’m raising you, you raising me, how can i live more for my little man? huh, my little man! and still my head high with my back against the wall, and i’ll be standing tall, till i fall, i give my all, yall for my little man! you hear me, big man?
how is it this song does not have 10 million views? i mean what more can you ask for in 1 song that has as much meaning as this does. me having 2 sons of my own i couldnt ask for anything as perfect put in words as a dedication to my sons. TRUE LOVE!!
thank you Lux, I lost my only child 1-24-11 at 5yrs old and when I heard this track I shed tears, you said everything I wish I could tell my Lil man today, keep making music that matters fam
A man becomes a man when he is able to fully articulate his vulnerabilities, his sense of worth, and the worth of others. It then translates to his work of art. Perhaps we need to redefine what it means to be a man and then, only then, will we be able to re-define what Hip-Hop is or isn't. I express the utmost respect for such a brilliant song...production, lyrics, and sincere emotional appeal to a feeling we often find comfort in hiding.
I think this song touchscreen me because this how I envision my future son and I relationship. I didn't have this type of relationship with my father. We never had that connection because he was in and out my life. I'm 29 now and that connection just ain't there. Basically me wanting that future connection with my son, prolly will feel the huge void left from the disconnection of me and my father.
best song of 2013.. much love from Sweden, Lux, keep it up.. got a friend who cant even see his 4 year old son right now cus his baby mama making up lies about him n he feelin this shit as well..
Lux is a rarity in battle rap. He has the ability to be real without the "thug" posturing, and to be vulnerable on song. Really, really good shit dude. Thank you for this.
I'm a proud latino Father of two sons!!! Lux real talk, this song touched my soul brother, keep up the positive vibe, you are a true MAN!!! feeling TRUE LOVE all da way to L.A.!!!
Dude, mad respect to the producers that sampled Hans zimmer- time we'll done. As for lux, it takes a bigger man to raise a kid that isn't yours. Mad respect
Every time I hear this song it bring me to tears from my bm not letting me see my son ikept fight now I got custody of my son and doing everything for him tru lov
He never shows his sons face in the video , just like in inception you never see Dicaprios children faces...thought that was dope too , sticking to the film
Man.. This song really touched me.. Whenever I have a child I will protect them with my life and wouldn't let anyone hurt them and I would love them till I die
ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS EVER CREATED SALUTE TO LOADED LUX!!! DEAR MAMA, KEEP YA HEAD UP, TRUE LOVE THOSE TYPE OF CLASSICS... STRAIGHT FIRE MAN REALNESS
Damn 200,000+ views. Salute to Lux. I remember when he first dropped this and wondered why it didn't take off. Well, it's gettin out there now. This song truly deserves it
This side of hip-hop will never make it to the radio or be publicized in the media... and that’s truly a tragedy, because this element of hip-hop is what many of us relate to most.
Even to my enemies and all your penalties,
May your babies eyes always grant you serenity...
That's real.
Yeah, that's dope.
mdace15 that was that bar.
That was so HONORABLE!!!
I fux with that part of the song the most! That's some REAL shit!!!
I lost my 2 sons in my life. No lie. I listen to this everyday. Cry everytime. Thank you Lux. This song does help me cope with their passing. I'm scared to have another. Maybe one day. 😔💯
Stay strong!!!
Me to fam. Back to back. This song is too them, without a doubt. Salute fam n stay strong, Peace!!!
I hope something in life kept you pushing brother. Music is medicine. Hope you in a blessed place in life.
My condolences 🙏 😢
My bro, stay strong. I lost both my son's n my stepson also
"You was born to be that better me I will never be".... damn, deep!!!!!!
I've never heard a song that truly helps you understand the depths of a father's love for his son.

"from your first steps to my last breath, reasons i had stress reasons i have strength" beautiful real talk
"You was born to be that better me that I'll never be" Man such heart I can't do nothing but shed tears while I look at my son...
I'm a single father fighting for my three sons that they selfish don't care about no one but their self, and they believe they better then anyone else mother.

That's like asking why didn't Nas life is good win the 2012 Grammys lol. Because it doesn't involve sex, money, materialistic shit. The radio nor the Grammys support real niggas / real HipHop with a message in today's time. This is too real for the radio, fuck the radio, industry & the Grammys.

I love this
The "lil man is/little manners" lines show the lyrical nature of Lux at the same time talking about something with meaning. How could you not feel this!?
Why is this song not on streaming platforms?
So Deep. From a mother of fathers perspective. Thanks Lux, you are truly a gift to the hip hop game.
This joint is one of my anthems. Powerful message, and hits close to home every time I hear it.
Word 4 word bruh real dope ish.
Because I want to not because I’m supposed to Thats true love….Man that hit deep
This song made me cry tears of pain and joy at the same time.
Amazing.
Loaded Lux is different. He is a grown man, a lot of common sense and he presents everything with great charisma.
All I can say is thank you for this song
Much respect to this dude for promoting fatherhood especially as a black. God Bless You Lux. Imma support u now.
Shout out to the real Dads. Respect
100%, raise a good generation
One of Hip-Hop's greatest songs. This is right there with "Dear Mama" & "Brenda gotta baby" ... Give'em that WORK Lux!! #Salute
This song will never get old. I absolutely love this
Still listening to this song in 2022. This song inspired me to fight for my son as I went thru years & years of hurdles with the family court system.

Something i can relate to, this song right here is TIMELESS piece
A man becomes a man when he is able to fully articulate his vulnerabilities, his sense of worth, and the worth of others. It then translates to his work of art. Perhaps we need to redefine what it means to be a man and then, only then, will we be able to re-define what Hip-Hop is or isn't.
I express the utmost respect for such a brilliant song...production, lyrics, and sincere emotional appeal to a feeling we often find comfort in hiding.
Almost 7 years later... and still one of my favorites! #Healthy 💪🏿🔥🔥💯
Greatest song a battle rapper ever made.
I think this song touchscreen me because this how I envision my future son and I relationship. I didn't have this type of relationship with my father.

This shit is so classic❗️💯 lux performance even in this video is legendary❗️🔥💎
Lord please answer my prayers n hear cry’s 4 help I just wanna b a greater father
Amen
Lux is a rarity in battle rap. He has the ability to be real without the "thug" posturing, and to be vulnerable on song. Really, really good shit dude. Thank you for this.
This song is amazing
Every father in the world need to hear this song! Peace to all the human families on the planet earth!
This beat was made over the Inception - Time track correct? Very smart for the engineer whoever it was

One of the best rapsong i ever heard whats wrong in America Drake so much clics and this guy not. Realy sad Sry about my english i am from Hamburg :-)
Dude, mad respect to the producers that sampled Hans zimmer- time we'll done. As for lux, it takes a bigger man to raise a kid that isn't yours. Mad respect
Grown man bars
As a new father to a son now, 8 years later this hits different
Every time I hear this song it bring me to tears from my bm not letting me see my son ikept fight now I got custody of my son and doing everything for him tru lov
I love this joint... Beautiful.
I love how Lux never allows his son's face to be shown. Lux the Truth!
Why can't I find this track on Spotify or Apple Music or iTunes?
sample clearance probably
Loaded Lux is a genius, he just has that spark that Em has.
why is the reply value not over a million yet?
Flesh Megnido /Cause it's too positive.
This proves there is a concerted effort to dumb down Hip Hop. This song should have been a smash hit played on all airwaves
Still fucking amazing! If Eminem did this everyone would loose their mind 🙄
This is just the perfect song. They should play this everywhere on Fathers Day.
By now this video should have a million views.... Remove the clips on the beginning.
LUX IS BEYOND TALENTED, THIS PROVES SO MUCH & MEANS EVEN MORE, THE AVERAGE RAPPER SAYS THE SAME IGNORANT THINGS BUT LUX COMES DIVERSE
2019 anyone?
Now this is Hip Hop!!! The glory of a kING is his posterity!!! LUX....you put in work right here boy!!! MAJOR!!!
He never shows his sons face in the video , just like in inception you never see Dicaprios children faces...thought that was dope too , sticking to the film
I don't think the reason is the movie. Would you show your kids' faces on internet bro
Man.. This song really touched me.. Whenever I have a child I will protect them with my life and wouldn't let anyone hurt them and I would love them till I die
how could yu not luv diss track #respeclux
Going through custody to be a bigger role in my son's life, this song means a lot to me. Thank you man, amazing song.
