When both your parents tell you they hated the day you were born, then you grow up and raise a healthy and happy son who knows nothing of abuse, you won... I...WIN!
That's right, you won. Never forget that. You were greater than those who came before you. Thank you for that because in a way, you're a part of how I was raised.
This made me cry. I can't imagine that pain, but I sense the power in your words. You have a message of overcoming and hope. Please share that with others. Your life will save others.
You can't compare one man's originality and unique style to another it just takes away from one or the other Joyner Lucas is on some real life issues what rap is supposed to be thankyou Joyner Lucas

@@k1khrolik94 he said he shouldn't be. Your still trying to compare him, but Lucas is himself, never tried to mimic anyone. He makes music that touches your heart, but it's 2018-2019 rap, but not many can do that. And most his music is necessary to be seen or heard, but Eminem and them are optional. Joyner Lucas could never be compared
@@adam.b6676 aw that's sweet . I had a step dad like that until him and my mom broke up . He did come back and surprised me on my birthday when I was little he caught me outside playing with my friends and I almost had a heart attack , that's the last time I seen him 😭❤️
Amen, i often tell other Mom's they should be GRATEFUL Dad is in picture bc my kids dad NEVER TRIED!!! Be GRATEFUL for whatever HELP You Get Bc it could be NOTHING AT ALL
This deserves an Oscar and a Grammy Joyner Lucas dun took off HAM ON THIS RIGHT HERE! *a u t h e n t I c v i e w s* dun took his career off 2 the next level fr fr no cap
3:13 "I can't believe I tried to hurt you, I hope you forgive me." I love that. That is *deeply* personal and that's the type of emotional depth and vulnerability music is missing nowadays. Artists make "emotional" music all the time but they don't bare their soul. This man made his guilt and anguish over almost aborting his son into a song for millions to listen to. That takes balls. Asking for forgiveness. That takes balls and is very vulnerable. I respect that.
My girlfriend gave birth today. I always listened to this album a lot while she was pregnant. Holding our baby girl today, I could hear this song playing in my head. I Felt like thrash. We tried getting rid of her twice but she wasnt going nowhere. Looking at her today I just couldn’t hold my tears back, they thought it was joy, but I was heart broken I tried to get rid of her. Daddy love you AUDREY Thanks guys. She’s doing great, we celebrated her one year birthday last month. This past year has been amazing.
Twice? Damn. I’m sure nothing I could say would make you feel worse and that’s not my intention, so Ima just drop that Congrats to you for raising a fighter. You should come back and give regular updates on how babygirls doing. The amount of likes is the amount of people that wanna know.
Being a dad is the best and most important job you'll ever have. Let it become your whole life. Let it consume you entirely. This is your life's purpose. Lean into it.
It truly is. I fucked up lots in my life. but being a dad is my second chance. I truly do love him more than I love myself. walking him to Kindergarten every morning is better than any night staying out late partying in my twenties.
I'm about to become a father and I can't stop listening to this song. It's so damn real and true. Huge respect to Joyner Lucas for making such a brilliant expression of love.
I became a father a year ago. And this kept getting played because of my mixed feelings. A year later and I take back everything I felt before. Fatherhood is amazing!
This generation should recognize and appreciate the talent this man has. He is one of if not the best story teller hip hop has ever witnessed. I’m sure blessed to have witnessed a the abilities of this man. It’s like witnessing an Ali fight. I’m an 80’s baby so I don’t have any recollection of the hype which surrounded Mohammad Ali. But I did get to witness Michael Jordan , Michael Jackson, Mike Tyson,the start of the internet, and this man joyner lucas.
People similar to him (Blueprint, Dilated Peoples, Toki Wright, and many more) have been around for decades. This type of hip hop is nothing new, it's just finally making its way to the masses, thank goodness.
Joyner, Nino, few others are only new artists I've fucked with for a long time... I'm hoping they get back to the bars and storytelling... somehow it was lost
See this shit hits deep for me, Mainly the scene with him playing operation and his kid is growing into a man. I have been blessed by meeting my partner who had to children 4 and 6 years old. Watching that scene made me think i need to stop worrying about the insignificant things in life and focus on spending time with the 2 amazing children that have come into my life. Thankyou Joyner your songs are always deep and meaningful and in my eyes you really are the best rapper alive. You cut deep in the way that gets to the average person like myself.
People dislike it because its not about hoes, drugs and money. Badass cars, big houses and jewelry. This man speaks about real life events and speaks about his feelings and shit. Joyner keep doing what your doing bro some of us actually listen and we hear you!
I'm usually not a rap fan because of those mentioned topics..............Thought that was what it was all about. I was terribly mistaken @_@ From Metalhead to I am exploring a lot of music now. lol Still love my metal tho
you forgot about the people that only listen to music for the beat that hate this type of rap because of it not having a beat so loud you cant hear the words
Well, Eminem featured him and now he's got the recognition he deserves. I'm not sure how many views this had 2 months ago, but it's near 10 million now.
that aint new.... mainstream just tryna get rid of it... but joyners talent is unprecedented for sure. glad hes bringing meaning back to bars, and especially glad hes from my city
RebugClxtches yea his shit deep but he doesn’t cuss and he comes off as real gospely to me. I stick to phora and Joyner. That’s just my opinion though.
The scene where Joyner's son grew up in front of him while they stayed playing the same game they'd played since he was a baby hit me in the feels, man. That's just bittersweet as hell.
They’ll understand when they older every parent learning as they go brotha. I was that kid growin up seeing my pops do a lot of bad shit showin me bad shit but at the same time he grew up without a dad, grew to learn life ain’t easy and it don’t matter what you did it’s about how you fix it and how you changed. All love ! 💯
I grew up without a father , then was raised by another man. Both was flawed but I respect them for what they are . I look at my son now and realize I could never be nothing but a dedicated father . I take every breath now for my two sons . This song makes me feel something when I’m feeling low. I’m gonna be something for my children and they will one day know that I struggled for everything that I gave them . And I’m not ashamed . I remember rubbing two nickels together just to figure how to pay bills . Thank you Joyner for speaking the words of how I once felt . To all this fathers out there I hope god bless you man. I see you homies
I became a father when I was 19 I was scared,mad and depressed but I don’t regret any of it I wouldn’t trade my son for anything I love him to death I sacrificed so much for him and I’d do it again over and over again
I had my daughter at 18 That shit was a struggle because my baby mama cheated on me and they tried taking my daughter away from me but I stood my ground and did everything possible to have my rights And now this year she will be turning 3 years old It’s hard but I love my daughter with everything I have They grow up fast Wish you the best with your son :)
This man possesses the gift of story telling like no other artist I’ve ever experienced. Truly a gifted man. Whether your embarrassing other rappers on there own beats or pouring your heart and feelings out on a track like this. I’thank you from the bottom of my heart for being true to your self and not being a sugar coated, sell out that talks about $ and objects
@@mickey_mess8747 i know how that is been there myself but i wasn't going to let that make me walk away from my son like he did on me thats what makes me a better man than him.
how can this man create hypothetical stories, to realistic life situation stories, to true stories, to true stories bout his damn self, and then make the video go even deeper than that....!?!?!?! Joyner is a fucking mastermind I swear
JKinG Music that's what a poet does man. They paint a picture. Joyner makes that music where you can close your eyes and visualize it. He makes relatable music.
agree please do not judge me but I felt the same way like this song described but now I am a full-time single father and my daughter is 7 years old today. I can just imagine what abortion would have done to my life because of my daughter I am a changed man...
Man, this dude is the shit! I don't care to hear no black American rapper unless you're rapping what this young man is rapping about? REAL LIFE SHIT! Him & Tom MacDonald!
Shit hits home for me. I wanted the same thing when my ex told me she was pregnant. Glad she kept it bcuz now i have a daughter who is my everything. Hope she remembers who i am when she gets older.
Solo same g she not letting me see her right now....funny shit is she left me. Smh. Stay up g . *update she finally stopped with the revenge bs, getting to see my lil girl now more! Stay up fellas and be smart and try not to b emotional, shit gets hard when it comes down to our seeds.
Solo no matter what just do all you kan too b thare. Kuz in the end tht will b tha qwestion asked.. Im a father of two and am blessed too b thare for mine as they r for havin me as a father.
I'm a 37 years old man with kids and I'm just learned of Joyner Lucas after I saw "I'm not Racist" two days ago and I'm line this dude can't be real in these days and times of garbage music, he is different and make all the sense kn the world. Damn dude you are good.
Me having a child at a young age, I told the mom to get an abortion, but now that I came to terms with the situation and met the baby it changed my perspective so much and I love my daughter❤️❤️
Joyner deserves xxl . He is not just a rapper . He's a lyricist. His music has to be some of the realist shit I've ever heard . B4 y'all knock me for my cover photo jus know I love real rap . Guys like joey , logic,Joyner , token, hopsin , tech,futuristic etc .
Cool Show He WAS gonna be on 2016, but they didn't choose him. They didn't choose him...over Yachty, Desiigner, Vert, Kodack, and 21. They even got Paak (a singer) over him
FSM FSM i agree with you, but xxl is a way for him to get on the mainstream radio. Usually the industry puts out whatever artists are on the xxl freshmen list.
Whoever is reading this, I hope you're having an amazing day. Take care of yourself and stay hydrated. If you're having a rought day, take a break and treat yourself to something nice.
I was 16 having a baby the song was every emotion I was feeling put my music career on pause so you can know who I am I cry everytime I hear it to my son going on 12 I'm now 28 I love you so much son make sure I tell him every day 💯❤🙏🏾👐🏾☀️🙌🏾💪🏾🤴🏾👍🏾
Having a kid can ruin your life (incredibly expensive, stressful, exhausting etc). It can also be the best thing that ever happens to you. It's not like it's a personal thought against you, as in who you are now
Same here, I'm adopted I've never met my birth parents. My adopted parents which are my real parents ask me do I want to meet my birth mother. I'm not ready yet. I'm 26 but she has mental issues and I just don't want to be hurt or anything I guess. At the same time I don't want her to die and I never at least saw her face. Life's crazy....
I had my daughter at 16. Before her I had no motive in life and didn’t know what I wanted to be. I got Kicked out from home because I was pregnant so then I was homeless and pregnant but I pulled through found a place to stay, got a job and finished high school. No one was at my graduation but me and my daughter. I just finished a qualification and currently studying business to eventually start my own. My daughter is my motivation to live and keep doing what I have to do for US.
His music helped me through rough times... everytime i listened to his music he helped me remember why I shouldn’t do it, and live my live. Thank you joyner🙏🏼
You know what, it's weird hearing a rapper who is just saying one phrase and calling it a song and then adding some beat. It's nice to hear someone who out puts there thoughts and feeling into a song and gives it there all, and for that, I very much respect you for that!
Joyner Lucas! Ur music is saving me bro! Singing words outta my mouth! Thank you! From bottom of my heart brotha! I'm at rock bottom but my wife is holding me afloat. Exact reason why I wish I take back everything I did and said to her when I'm in my darkest days. Not wanting to be around anymore. But having a family is our ultimate goal. Road to recovery for my broken soul. Sorry for long comment Joyner. But hope you see this and see how thankful I am for ur music. Especially during this time in my life. So thank you sir! 🙏💯
This is EXACTLY what I went through 5 years ago. My son is 4 now and I cannot explain the love one can have for their child. This song made me tear up with how accurate it was. I ended up getting out of the Army the week before he was born and was homeless 6 months later because of his mom's greed. Yes, it has gotten better, and yes we still go though it...BUT, he is fully worth it. Just damn, thank you Joyner Lucas.
thank you for your service idk how anyone could do that to someone especially if theyre doing something to help them in the future plus you guys loved each other
Im adopted and i can relate to this song because of my birth dad but not my birth mom. Im in a really good home, i have been in a really good home for awhile.
i listen to this & cry. when i found out i was pregnant, i hated my husband for doing this to me. & now if it wasn’t for our son i don’t think i’d be here today.
I literally beat yrs of all diff types of addiction,the system in n out,. Damn my kids are 7 5 and 3,I pulled outta the gutter carrying her mom on my shoulder, from the shelters while detoxing no psych meds I need/needed,now I moved us all 2 houses n 4 apartments now outta Chicago with land.im broke but REAL MEN MAKE IT HAPPEN IN THE CLUTCH 💪💥💯!!!!
It's a damn shame that Joyner Lucas is making music in this day and age where his talent will go unnoticed. if he was making these in the 90s he would be topping all charts and be considered one of the greats and a household name. fucking shame.
Me and my wife did this shit got mad all the time things was bad I loved her still with her till this day this songs gets me off my feelings so bad I cry every lyrics and word you put on this song 😢I love you Joyner you been my favorite ever since 4 years ago keep putting music like this out pls
Kay and Lay listen to "Ross Capichioni" (Idk if i spelled that right) that was the first song I heard by him that was a couple years ago I've been a fan ever since.
He's not underrated at all he's just not an industry puppet getting all this exposure. The man is dope the best out if you ask me I hope he stays indie cause the industry will change everything about his music they wouldn't let him tell his message like he wants to tell it. Same goes for mysoone and Hopsin.
This song hit real deep for me. Went thru a similar phase in my life. When i was pregnant with my secind daughter my baby daddy was in and out if jail, running the streets, difderent night with a different girl while im at home faithful and worrying doing it all on my own. One day he came home and brought the girl for that week home and kicked me out. I had nowhere to go, no one who would take me in or help me. I remember crying and telling myself that i couldnt bring my baby into such a cruel unforgiving world with absolutely nothing. At the time i wasnt thinking straight and thought it be best if she never was born and had to go thru all of lifes bs. I was 8 months due in 3 weeks. I tried taking my life and my babys and swallowed a whole bottle of blood pressure pills as i left his house. Went down to my friends house and her dad found me in the bathroom almost passed out, almost gone and took me to the ER. The doctor told me when i came to that if i had gotten there 2 minutes later than when i arrived i wouldve been gone for good. I thank God daily that i didnt succeed and she came out with nothing wrong with her. And just like this gentlemans words say, i hope she can forgive me one day.
My son was born in 2017 and is the most beautiful thing that ever happened to me. After a lot of pain and problems i ended up a single father and this song has been my anthem since i can relate to it soooo accurately. Cannot listen to it without breaking into tears crying. So, thats what do i every now and then; listen to this song while i stare at a photo of my little man. Just, to cry.❤️
He takes every day life stories, topics and tragedies and creates the visual through rap music using same rawness and realism rap stood for in its inception but its the 2017 everyday reality - just brilliant
He's a real one needs more recognition he's a wolf among a bunch of sheep in this rap game I'm sorry was crazy played it at my brother's funeral .. Joyner just understands what people are going threw #joynerlucas
i listen to this 5 years ago when my life was in a manageable position recently my life has been pretty horrible and it got worst that my mom who believes she is the holiest person alive said to my face that she wished she never had me and as i left the house planning on listening to my intrusive thoughts i just started humming this song in my head and it calmed me down so i thank you joyner because i was this close to ending my self this day but your art stopped me
I hope you're doing okay dawg, I've had my hardships with both parents but everything's overall okay. Its the ebbs and flows man I went from a good position in life to sleeping with demons and I would never want to go back. Whatever you do keep your head and look towards the future, it doesn't have to be perfect but sunny and calms days always come back around.💙🌌
2 Pac would be proud of you Joyner, you make shit from the heart like he had. Reguardless you are one of the greats already, next to J Cole, Wale, and Kendrick.
A man who admits this and regrets every word he said. Is a man.

I am the same wayyy I grew up sooo fucked up buttt now my daughter is my world 🌎 and although she’s 5 I make sure she understands yet feel loved 🥰
They’ll understand when they older every parent learning as they go brotha. I was that kid growin up seeing my pops do a lot of bad shit showin me bad shit but at the same time he grew up without a dad, grew to learn life ain’t easy and it don’t matter what you did it’s about how you fix it and how you changed. All love ! 💯
Joyner Lucas dun took off HAM ON THIS RIGHT HERE! *A U T H E N T I C V I E W S D O W T C O W M* dun took his career off 2 the next level fr fr no cap
Unlike most rappers now days, Joyner isn't in it for the fame, but for the message.
agreed.
Agreed. Which is why it will take him longer to get the recognition he deserves
No really
Andre Rolim all of this dudes songs has a special message
Andre Rolim bullshit, everyone wants fame in the rap game.
Tupac would be proud
EPIC TACO900 amen
EPIC TACO900 (want give them all my farther DIDN'T GIVE TOO ME) FEELING EMPTY!LOVE ME! LIFE TIME
EPIC TACO900 i like you mane
Fuckin facts bro! This definitely has that deep feeling 2pac vibes!
Exactly letter to my unborn child part 2
It’s because of my dead beat dad that I am today. He didn’t want me, but I know what not to do with my son.
I grew up without a father , then was raised by another man. Both was flawed but I respect them for what they are . I look at my son now and realize I could never be nothing but a dedicated father . I take every breath now for my two sons . This song makes me feel something when I’m feeling low. I’m gonna be something for my children and they will one day know that I struggled for everything that I gave them . And I’m not ashamed . I remember rubbing two nickels together just to figure how to pay bills . Thank you Joyner for speaking the words of how I once felt . To all this fathers out there I hope god bless you man. I see you homies
I became a father when I was 19 I was scared,mad and depressed but I don’t regret any of it I wouldn’t trade my son for anything I love him to death I sacrificed so much for him and I’d do it again over and over again
ThRash Gaming Hope you and your son are doing good :)
traveler 7 thanks :) he just had his 1 year bday a couple days ago. Couldn’t be more happy.
I had my daughter at 18
That shit was a struggle because my baby mama cheated on me and they tried taking my daughter away from me but I stood my ground and did everything possible to have my rights
And now this year she will be turning 3 years old
It’s hard but I love my daughter with everything I have
They grow up fast
Wish you the best with your son :)
Keep that love alive, man
Your son will grow up to know that he has an amazing father. I respect you, now and days father's leave. You stood your ground
Idc what color you are. Joyner is for everyone. He came at the right time.
Rotcrawler that is what people don't get Rap isn't meant for black people or just 1 color only. It's just sharing stories with music.
This man possesses the gift of story telling like no other artist I’ve ever experienced. Truly a gifted man. Whether your embarrassing other rappers on there own beats or pouring your heart and feelings out on a track like this. I’thank you from the bottom of my heart for being true to your self and not being a sugar coated, sell out that talks about $ and objects
Amen to that! I couldn't have said it better my brother, well spoken!✊🏼💪🏼
Just had my son on Monday july 22nd at 2:04pm always loved this song it definitely hits me now that ima father got me tearing up love u Khari ❤️🙏🏾🥺
This shit hits hard for me. I said the same bs. My son is my everything now. Much love and respect. Keep your head up young dads it's worth it.
hell yeah bro my son is now 3 man he is my world made me realize i when he was first born that i couldn't let him grow up without a dad like i did
They say fatherhood doesn't hit till you hold your babe. I hope we all strive to be better father's always
@@corysavage8352 you are right man
At least you guys stuck around. My dad just abandoned me
@@mickey_mess8747 i know how that is been there myself but i wasn't going to let that make me walk away from my son like he did on me thats what makes me a better man than him.
Give this man a Grammy
Darnel Holloway He needs his own award... The Lucas award legit this is so good!
Darnel Holloway n
Darnel Holloway I cannot agree more!!!!
Is anyone paying attention to the video? The storyline hits the irony perfectly give him an oscar too
Aj Guerra that's what makes the song even better
For the men out there not seeing there child stand strong never give up please
I have never nor my ex husband ever said he hated our sons those were our biggest blessings
how can this man create hypothetical stories, to realistic life situation stories, to true stories, to true stories bout his damn self, and then make the video go even deeper than that....!?!?!?! Joyner is a fucking mastermind I swear
Ts deathcrank i just wanna see him and em in the same song then i can die happy
his music can connect to everyone life
JKinG Music little boy in the vid is actually his kid too
JKinG Music true
JKinG Music that's what a poet does man. They paint a picture. Joyner makes that music where you can close your eyes and visualize it. He makes relatable music.
Being a father and understanding this song made me cry
Me too man im 24 wit 4 kids
@@jsampler16 yea them feels man
Me to g
Same. And im about father
agree please do not judge me but I felt the same way like this song described but now I am a full-time single father and my daughter is 7 years old today. I can just imagine what abortion would have done to my life because of my daughter I am a changed man...
Man, this dude is the shit!
I don't care to hear no black American rapper unless you're rapping what this young man is rapping about?
REAL LIFE SHIT!
Him & Tom MacDonald!
"I know u don't understand my words but u will eventually"😢🐐
Shit hits home for me. I wanted the same thing when my ex told me she was pregnant. Glad she kept it bcuz now i have a daughter who is my everything. Hope she remembers who i am when she gets older.
Solo same g she not letting me see her right now....funny shit is she left me. Smh. Stay up g .
*update she finally stopped with the revenge bs, getting to see my lil girl now more! Stay up fellas and be smart and try not to b emotional, shit gets hard when it comes down to our seeds.
Solo no matter what just do all you kan too b thare. Kuz in the end tht will b tha qwestion asked.. Im a father of two and am blessed too b thare for mine as they r for havin me as a father.
Me too bro, my kid just turned two months and im 19
Me to fam.... Just turned 8 months and I can't see him
Solo damn
I'm a 37 years old man with kids and I'm just learned of Joyner Lucas after I saw "I'm not Racist" two days ago and I'm line this dude can't be real in these days and times of garbage music, he is different and make all the sense kn the world. Damn dude you are good.
Geo KLOUDE9INE Yeah Joyner needs more recognition
Geo KLOUDE9INE exactly how I found him and exactly how I feel about music and him 😍 him
Year*
Geo KLOUDE9INE He puts so much emotion in his songs and raps about present issues which most other rappers don’t do
welcome to the club guys
Me having a child at a young age, I told the mom to get an abortion, but now that I came to terms with the situation and met the baby it changed my perspective so much and I love my daughter❤️❤️
Can relate bro i had my first baby at 14 but i love me son
Elite story teller fr!!! Definitely one of the ONLY REAL ones left!
Joyner is inspiring. Kids should look up to a rapper like him. Truth = Respect.
Nick I do I'm 11 and I love his music bc its so deep and I love it so much.
Nick yeah, they should look up to him not all these "lil'" so called "rappers" who are "inspiring"
Yeah but the thing I don't like is rap
@@jatziri5428 then why you here?!?!?!?!?!
Big Perm too many people want to bullshit and be fake. I'll be broke and by myself before I start pretending. It is what it is. #tellthetruth.
Joyner deserves xxl . He is not just a rapper . He's a lyricist. His music has to be some of the realist shit I've ever heard . B4 y'all knock me for my cover photo jus know I love real rap . Guys like joey , logic,Joyner , token, hopsin , tech,futuristic etc .
Cool Show He WAS gonna be on 2016, but they didn't choose him. They didn't choose him...over Yachty, Desiigner, Vert, Kodack, and 21. They even got Paak (a singer) over him
What the fuck are you saying.. XXL freshmen list is for trash rappers.. thank fuck Joyner hasn't been on there.
He deserves more. Fucking love this guy!
FSM FSM i agree with you, but xxl is a way for him to get on the mainstream radio. Usually the industry puts out whatever artists are on the xxl freshmen list.
Cool Show you forgot witt and Nf , sik world
Whoever is reading this, I hope you're having an amazing day. Take care of yourself and stay hydrated. If you're having a rought day, take a break and treat yourself to something nice.
I was 16 having a baby the song was every emotion I was feeling put my music career on pause so you can know who I am I cry everytime I hear it to my son going on 12 I'm now 28 I love you so much son make sure I tell him every day
💯❤🙏🏾👐🏾☀️🙌🏾💪🏾🤴🏾👍🏾
God bless your family💗 Your son sounds lucky to have you.
@@Valeria-mg4ty 💯❤️
My dad also told my mom to abort me but my mom refused. This song made me forgive my dad
Gg
Fogiveness is the key to be peacefull
steffi! steffi! My mom was gonna abort me, but it was too late. To think a whole cigarette made her realize that i was in there
Having a kid can ruin your life (incredibly expensive, stressful, exhausting etc). It can also be the best thing that ever happens to you. It's not like it's a personal thought against you, as in who you are now
Same here, I'm adopted I've never met my birth parents. My adopted parents which are my real parents ask me do I want to meet my birth mother. I'm not ready yet. I'm 26 but she has mental issues and I just don't want to be hurt or anything I guess. At the same time I don't want her to die and I never at least saw her face. Life's crazy....
I had my daughter at 16. Before her I had no motive in life and didn’t know what I wanted to be. I got Kicked out from home because I was pregnant so then I was homeless and pregnant but I pulled through found a place to stay, got a job and finished high school. No one was at my graduation but me and my daughter. I just finished a qualification and currently studying business to eventually start my own. My daughter is my motivation to live and keep doing what I have to do for US.
BypassingZ I’m 21 now lol
You're amazing! Wish you the best!
Please message me. I have same problem and now kicked out from home. Please advice me something
Jai xo 💪
Jai xo what kind of family kicks out their pregnant daughter
His music helped me through rough times... everytime i listened to his music he helped me remember why I shouldn’t do it, and live my live.
Thank you joyner🙏🏼
Taking my son to JoynerFest Saturday, this song brought us back together can’t wait to come full circle! ❤
his stuff is always so powerful. i cant put it into words💗💫✨
Lauren Jewel he understands what it's like to have empathy
theodore sanders Nobody shows empathy not even john wick
Lauren Jewel you right
It’s because it’s real no sugar coat just straight facts
He somehow manages to it always gets me
You know what, it's weird hearing a rapper who is just saying one phrase and calling it a song and then adding some beat. It's nice to hear someone who out puts there thoughts and feeling into a song and gives it there all, and for that, I very much respect you for that!
Guchi gang Guchi gang Guchi can Guchi gang Guchi gang
Dizzy Dreams I
Miya Simms yeah right that shit is garbage stay in yo lane

You need some kendrick Lamar
To all the real dads out there. Salute this shit is not for the weak. Love ya kids with ever fiber if your being
this was just a skippable song 6 years ago but it hits diff now as a father of two sons. respect to you Joyner. thank you.
Real Rapper dealing with real issues, read emotions. Much respect!!!
We need to get this guy more fame
Its Jorge yesss
You mean clout?
Joyner Lucas! Ur music is saving me bro! Singing words outta my mouth! Thank you! From bottom of my heart brotha! I'm at rock bottom but my wife is holding me afloat. Exact reason why I wish I take back everything I did and said to her when I'm in my darkest days. Not wanting to be around anymore. But having a family is our ultimate goal. Road to recovery for my broken soul. Sorry for long comment Joyner. But hope you see this and see how thankful I am for ur music. Especially during this time in my life. So thank you sir! 🙏💯
Generations after us will come across this man's music and be like, "Damn, our Fathers enjoyed the best art form in their time"
This is real rap
Librado Espinoza it is it reminds me of what ma mom and dad been in with me💔
This is EXACTLY what I went through 5 years ago. My son is 4 now and I cannot explain the love one can have for their child. This song made me tear up with how accurate it was. I ended up getting out of the Army the week before he was born and was homeless 6 months later because of his mom's greed. Yes, it has gotten better, and yes we still go though it...BUT, he is fully worth it. Just damn, thank you Joyner Lucas.
How are you and your son doing now?
thank you for your service idk how anyone could do that to someone especially if theyre doing something to help them in the future plus you guys loved each other
Im adopted and i can relate to this song because of my birth dad but not my birth mom. Im in a really good home, i have been in a really good home for awhile.
i listen to this & cry. when i found out i was pregnant, i hated my husband for doing this to me. & now if it wasn’t for our son i don’t think i’d be here today.
Fav rapper hands down
jacquez addison UU u
Logic better
Logan you fucking tripping
Joyners music is soooo deep
Misunderstood . Just call me nobody , whoooooaaaaaah...😮

I literally beat yrs of all diff types of addiction,the system in n out,. Damn my kids are 7 5 and 3,I pulled outta the gutter carrying her mom on my shoulder, from the shelters while detoxing no psych meds I need/needed,now I moved us all 2 houses n 4 apartments now outta Chicago with land.im broke but REAL MEN MAKE IT HAPPEN IN THE CLUTCH 💪💥💯!!!!
Very touchy. We need more music like this instead of mumble rap. Thanks Joyner!!
What rappers mumble
Aldin Bajric Thanks Kanye! Very cool!
For real
Bruh this shit ain’t mumble. He’s done a song with emeinem making fun of mumble rappers
Id like but its at 420 ill keep it that way
It's a damn shame that Joyner Lucas is making music in this day and age where his talent will go unnoticed. if he was making these in the 90s he would be topping all charts and be considered one of the greats and a household name. fucking shame.
PRIK Designs It'll be appreciated by the right people.
FACTS
PRIK Designs facts
PRIK Designs what about K.A.A.N.?
gnarly sniff facts bro
Me and my wife did this shit got mad all the time things was bad I loved her still with her till this day this songs gets me off my feelings so bad I cry every lyrics and word you put on this song 😢I love you Joyner you been my favorite ever since 4 years ago keep putting music like this out pls
To joyner's son if you see this your father loves you and he would do anything to protect you
Just discovered him and I automatically fell in love. I love that his music has a message to it. Can’t wait to see this man grow
and it's cold outside!!
Saammmee
Kay and Lay listen to "Ross Capichioni" (Idk if i spelled that right) that was the first song I heard by him that was a couple years ago I've been a fan ever since.
His story telling and lyricism is probably top 5 in the rapgame right now.
I started listening after Ross Capichioni as well, i'm beyond happy to see Joyner finally exploding. 600k YT subs in Dec alone
kinda aggravated me that joyner is so underrated
Hey man, he finally blew up. Really. Instead of being the "I'm not racist" guy.
Hey man shit don't get mad spread the word
He’s coming up tho. He rapped with eminem dude thats pretty huge. Eminem put him out there. Huge fan!
He's not underrated at all he's just not an industry puppet getting all this exposure. The man is dope the best out if you ask me I hope he stays indie cause the industry will change everything about his music they wouldn't let him tell his message like he wants to tell it. Same goes for mysoone and Hopsin.
I swear this music video vanishes and comes back and vanishes and comes back again😭
This is forever my song for my daughter. Love you livie jade. It always makes me cry. Im so happy she made it earthside.
It takes a MAN to be this Real,open and honest. Joyner Lucas never stop making music like this.
MAN!!! IM ABOUT TO BE A DAD AND THIS SHIT HAS ME TEARING BIG TIME!!!!
Carlos Estrada me too bro, me too
Carlos Estrada congratulations
Carlos Estrada keep striving bro these kids need us fathers matters i cried cuz i feel the pain im a father of two now
Carlos Estrada best feeling in the world being a dad
the hell you talking about ???
I'll say something simple, I love Joyner Lucas. Nothing more needs said. If you agree, like this post up.
This song hit real deep for me. Went thru a similar phase in my life. When i was pregnant with my secind daughter my baby daddy was in and out if jail, running the streets, difderent night with a different girl while im at home faithful and worrying doing it all on my own. One day he came home and brought the girl for that week home and kicked me out. I had nowhere to go, no one who would take me in or help me. I remember crying and telling myself that i couldnt bring my baby into such a cruel unforgiving world with absolutely nothing. At the time i wasnt thinking straight and thought it be best if she never was born and had to go thru all of lifes bs. I was 8 months due in 3 weeks. I tried taking my life and my babys and swallowed a whole bottle of blood pressure pills as i left his house. Went down to my friends house and her dad found me in the bathroom almost passed out, almost gone and took me to the ER. The doctor told me when i came to that if i had gotten there 2 minutes later than when i arrived i wouldve been gone for good. I thank God daily that i didnt succeed and she came out with nothing wrong with her. And just like this gentlemans words say, i hope she can forgive me one day.
How am i just finding about this guy now?!?!, he's fucking awesome!!
How are lil yachty and lil uzi more famous than this man😪
Ser Kokayi because they sold there souls
Daveion Andrews LMAOOO
Daveion Andrews their *
Lmfao lil uzi sold his soul, and lil ya hey just played around and when people featured him he got famous lmfao
Ser Kokayi simple kids run hip hop now not us
My son was born in 2017 and is the most beautiful thing that ever happened to me. After a lot of pain and problems i ended up a single father and this song has been my anthem since i can relate to it soooo accurately. Cannot listen to it without breaking into tears crying. So, thats what do i every now and then; listen to this song while i stare at a photo of my little man. Just, to cry.❤️
may you find peace brother
The fact that he’s admitted his faults for the entire world to hear proves that he meant that he is deeply sorry
I can imagine Eminem listening to this song and say to Dre. "I gotta work with him"
Dre : "why"
Because I see something in him. Same way that you did
Damn thats pretty smart
And now they got an album coming out together 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Think Eminem did say he's got to work with him cuz he sees abit of him in Joyner that he likes thinks he's creative
That probably happened
@Haversa same
He takes every day life stories, topics and tragedies and creates the visual through rap music using same rawness and realism rap stood for in its inception but its the 2017 everyday reality - just brilliant
i've never seen someone sound so passionate about music.
What you've said is well worded, and the honest truth.
He's a real one needs more recognition he's a wolf among a bunch of sheep in this rap game I'm sorry was crazy played it at my brother's funeral .. Joyner just understands what people are going threw #joynerlucas
Christine Richards the song is also meant for his son as well
Jesus when he spoke of the Kingdom; I know you don't understand my words, but you will eventually.
i listen to this 5 years ago when my life was in a manageable position recently my life has been pretty horrible and it got worst that my mom who believes she is the holiest person alive said to my face that she wished she never had me and as i left the house planning on listening to my intrusive thoughts i just started humming this song in my head and it calmed me down so i thank you joyner because i was this close to ending my self this day but your art stopped me
I hope you're doing okay dawg, I've had my hardships with both parents but everything's overall okay. Its the ebbs and flows man I went from a good position in life to sleeping with demons and I would never want to go back. Whatever you do keep your head and look towards the future, it doesn't have to be perfect but sunny and calms days always come back around.💙🌌
2 Pac would be proud of you Joyner, you make shit from the heart like he had.
Reguardless you are one of the greats already, next to J Cole, Wale, and Kendrick.
Robert Gearhart also Logic, he is been doing this for years now
Joyner is better then logic lyrically
To quote Busta Rhymes, "You on the level of Nas"
Ali I love Logic and why I feel he has a better audience appeal, Joyner is more real. I don’t care who’s better cus they’re both great
Let's not compare joyner to wale bc joiner is good lyrically wale is garbage
