6 years clean and sober, 3 suicide attempts, 2 broken relationships and broken up with my family, i play this song everyday since it came out and it helps me with fighting my battle against my own demons, it makes me stronger.
Jan ist 2023 will be 7 years for me everyday is a struggle fighting demons since before i stopped it got alot worse when my dad past 3 years into my sobriety since then these demons really been fucking with me
No matter how many years roll by an I age from this young adult to a full grown elder man I will always play this song with headphones plugged in volume to max sit.... an just relate to the flow of lyrics strung together for a personal (story told).... whilst bop ahead along with the beat produced with so much passion an class to it... for murk to come an 100 🔥 🔥 🔥 murder with his lyrical talent along with emotional commitment 👏
Thanks man , its always an uphill battle , even when you arent offered anything , or if you dont think of anything .... curiosity and temptation are always there in the shadows lurking ... waiting for you to go under the moonlight "just one last time" ........... being addicted to substance is hell honestly ...... but hey at least im damn honest enough to admit that after 2 years clean i still and always will have a drug problem wether im using drugs or wether im squeaky clean .... once a user always a user in todays society , just gotta prove ya worth
This song has me in tears, been battling alcohol for years, some days I win, most days I lose, merkules your the shit for being so real about it, thank you for this one
This helped me through bad times in a failing relationship, grasping at straws. For me its not about alcohol or substances at all, but love IS like a drug sometimes, its just which one and what is required to get that fix. Hope it helps everyone that hears it
I've been to rehab twice. I want to share a quote with you that has stuck with me. The darkest moments in our lives are not to be lost or forgotten. Rather, a memory to be called upon to remind us of the unrelenting human capacity to overcome the intolerable.
Same here. Everyday for the past 16 years. I’m only 31. At 20 I had to go to a liver specialist. My blood count should have been 50 but it was 101. Have you heard Dax-dear alcohol. This song and Dax’s get me through a lot
Riding with you on the same shit. This is the one that gets me too. this beat goes sooo hard tho I lose my shit during the chorus. “You would have never moved, if I hadn’t made you uncomfortable.”- The Universe
I'm there with you too. This song speaks to me hardcore. Lets be appreciative to merk for putting this together man, first time I hearing it and I know it will be in a constant rotation for the forseeable future.
I love merkules been listening to him since panda. I don't know how the hell this is 4 years old and I'm just now hearing it for the first time. Just gave me GOOSEBUMPS.....
54 days sober for me today. Keep up the good work dude. Recovery is definitely possible, it's not easy by any means but to everyone struggling, you CAN do it.
I'm a 41yo in Lou KY who first came across big Merk about 6-7 yrs ago and been standing by his talented skill set, swearing to MFs this man be the truth in the rap game!
Whenever Merk pops I automatically add it to my playlist even if I can’t listen to it at that moment because everything he touches and speaks on is 🔥he is white biggie
I legit had this song playing in my truck when I got a DUI. with my daughter dying I lost my shit and went off the rails, but then I thought about my 3 kids at home and have to get my shit together to be around for them. your music always has a way of speaking to me and helps me realize I'm not alone
I'm in addition for 37 years and I am currently 48 and I think that this script will be relevant for a long time and will be as long as we struggle!long love and blessings to all of you under the rain!hope your journey ends well 😢❤❤
Im sipping here vibing and listening to your lyrics and then 4:04 hits I look at my bottle. Damn bro... I'm not going to lie and say I'm going to quit, but I'm definitely making a change. Thanks man.
My sister and mom went to your show and you called my sister out on drugs.... MAD RESPECT unfortunately it never worked but you tried your best and i will always love you because if it. Most real rapper right here dont get it wrong people merkules is awesome
I totally know this feeling I have been an alcoholic and addict for 20 years and recovery is amazing but I keep testing the waters every few years just to find my self drowning again. This battle is crazy but I am the winner we can all do win I believe it’s possible
CONGRATS to everyone seeking recovery from the dark holes we can find ourselves in! Every dark night has a bright sunrise...rain does subside to give way to beauty. And may we all stand strong TOGETHER to make a better today and a bright tomorrow! God bless
Today is my 1 year mark clean off alcohol. This song right here got me through this. From rehab with the shakes to now feeling better. This helped save my life. Real talk. Thanks BIG MERK!
last night i saw merkules live, when i walked past the tour bus the door flew open and he said "who hasn't gotten their greens today" and tried to hand me and other fans a veggie tray i froze with fear (EXTREME ANXIETYS) lol. when the show was over i made my way to the stage for an autograph or a picture and having the worst anxiety that was so stressful but i waited and waded through everyone to go up first,people shoved me out the way to shove merch on him by the time i finally made it up he was ready to go back and clean up, thankfully i got a good picture and to see the amazing show, i honestly don't think i really cared for the autograph as much as i wanted to say thank you, cause i wouldn't have ever pushed myself without this music. i would have stayed to drink and hang out but i couldnt drink coming from 5 cities down. maybe next year
Man this is the the first and probably last time I have ever or will ever comment on a RUclips video I'm only doing it in hopes that u see it.. Thank u Merk! I'm a little over a year and a month sober from alcohol, and this song is the first time my feelings about alcohol have been put in words, I could never express how it felt or why I was the way I was, but this song is it!! Like goosebumps n teary eyes type real shit!! Thank u Merkules! Much love and respect bro!! And remember bro... It's NEVER too late!!!
Thats my boy merk!! The raw flow of his emotions put into a form that all of us get to truly experience. Just like Notorious B I G he will grunt and scream in between verses, it gets to the point where his emotions can't be explained in words. Raw, beautiful, and real.
Truth has no boundaries. Going through this Dailey . It's harder then most say or lead you to believe. Until you wake up, then the world looks boring and the same again. Well played sir well played. Been hearing your words for a while now. Keep the work up, you put in the time and time will put it in for you. Thank you merk
Battled addiction my whole life merkules helps me threw it so much. Been sober from opiods 4 years now meth 2 years and now I just drink but I will overcome that soon too hopefully
This song is a testament to how great you truly are merk. I've been listening to you for a years now and I've heard this song like everyday since this album has dropped. And now a time when I'm struggling with my drinking more then ever it speaks to me more then ever. You are truly a gifted and brilliant artist. I look forward to everything you drop and aways love putting all your older shit on repeat. Thanks for you you do for us merk. You have no idea how much you mean to so many of us out here. I hope for the chance to meet you the person one day.
What's is this the end of the year sale before black Friday lol ish everyone one from RUclips is bringing that heat like effin crazy whos else is gonna come out with heat and flames my ears are thirsty for noise
This beat is completely savage. Let's just get that out there. And Merkules does it again capturing the essence of addictive behaviors and the relationship people can have with ALL FORMS of substances. The key for getting to the bottom of your addictive behaviors is understanding the answer to this question, "What symptoms am I attempting to self-medicate?" Because that's usually the root of why people abuse substances - mental health(BPD,Bipolar,depression,anxeity, you name it...)
3 weeks sober off drugs!.. tomorrow .. I have been an alcoholic for a bit but also tapering my intake of that and working my way off the methadone I hope I make it through the crazy times in life rn .. pray for you all and wish the very best ✊
This album is amazing! I love the fact Merk raps about real life shit and hes a fellow Canadian. Major props man!! Thanks for always keeping it real and rapping about stuff we face your the real thing! ❤
Yo for real tho i been a merkules fan for years. And this shit hit me hard... i aint spent one night sober since my return from afghanistan... when im drunk i realize my problem. I swear to myself im done wit the bottle... next day after work im drinkin again.its a disease and a weakness... someday imma be strong enough to stop this shit... im a grown ass man... i show up to work everyday on time, i work my ass off... support my family of a wife and 3 kids, spoil the shit out of them. but here i am drinking again listening to this shit on repeat...been 8 years and i couldnt tell u the last time i didnt drink every night sad shit... but i realize i have a problem. Just got to get the mindset to quit this shit. Merk. U working wonders my man. Thank you for this...
Struggling with addiction is one of the biggest battles of my life. I feel it on 100 I love this one! I listen to the words and my heart just breaks and gives me chills because of how real it is for my everyday life. Everyday is a new choice and a new battle
I fuckin love this song and I can relate to it not just with alcohol but as an addict to several substances and everything he says just fits so perfect with the love/hate relationship with all substance abuse
I salute you sober people.
Seriously.
It's not easy.
You can do it too and I agree it is hard but we all have to learn in life when enough is enough 😉 keep on fighting it’s never to late respect 👊🏼

6 years clean and sober, 3 suicide attempts, 2 broken relationships and broken up with my family, i play this song everyday since it came out and it helps me with fighting my battle against my own demons, it makes me stronger.

Shout out to everyone struggling with addiction! You can win this.
Hell nah
Probably could its just nicotine
Addictions just a cheap trick.
Thanks man , its always an uphill battle , even when you arent offered anything , or if you dont think of anything .... curiosity and temptation are always there in the shadows lurking ... waiting for you to go under the moonlight "just one last time" ........... being addicted to substance is hell honestly ...... but hey at least im damn honest enough to admit that after 2 years clean i still and always will have a drug problem wether im using drugs or wether im squeaky clean .... once a user always a user in todays society , just gotta prove ya worth
@@randomuser3053 What always gets me is its so easy to quit im like "i can start again, its easy to quit!" such a trap
This song requires a second listen to fully understand the meaning of every verse. Masterpiece.
This is my absolute favourite song on the album. Gives me chills everytime

Merk you'll never know how much you help. You make me wanna fight suicide and depression. Thank you
Fuck yeah. Life a privilege, enjoy
3 years sober next month. This song helped save my life. It couldn't be more accurate.
This helped me through bad times in a failing relationship, grasping at straws. For me its not about alcohol or substances at all, but love IS like a drug sometimes, its just which one and what is required to get that fix. Hope it helps everyone that hears it
"you helped me at my lowest and left me in the darkness" I felt that in my soul.
This hits me hard twice. For relationship and hard liquor habits.
I was thinking the same dude
Agreed. Crazy how much it's both!
For me it is relationship and speed and weed. Maybe liquer a bit but those 2 are my real devils😔
I've been to rehab twice. I want to share a quote with you that has stuck with me.
The darkest moments in our lives are not to be lost or forgotten. Rather, a memory to be called upon to remind us of the unrelenting human capacity to overcome the intolerable.
Remembering how close to death I was and how aweful I felt is a huge driving force in my success today, both financially, mentally and physically
as a man whose been drunk everyday since 2016 this shit speaks to me on a different level
good luck
Same here. Everyday for the past 16 years. I’m only 31. At 20 I had to go to a liver specialist. My blood count should have been 50 but it was 101. Have you heard Dax-dear alcohol. This song and Dax’s get me through a lot
Sublime song about alcoholism. Thankyou. I cried on this one. My dad is an alcoholic. Got me thinking.
fr same here but even tho my dad showed me this he doesnt fuckin see it
Man 4:00 to 4:05 in the song he says it even I’ve been writing about liquor all along
Been dealing with alcohol and heartbreak for a while now, this song really hits home for both
The alcohol definitely is a BS drug
It gets better my man. Ive been dealig with heartbreak too. Merk does the work!
Riding with you on the same shit. This is the one that gets me too. this beat goes sooo hard tho I lose my shit during the chorus.
“You would have never moved, if I hadn’t made you uncomfortable.”- The Universe
I'm there with you too. This song speaks to me hardcore. Lets be appreciative to merk for putting this together man, first time I hearing it and I know it will be in a constant rotation for the forseeable future.

40 days sober, and it’s been one hell of a battle but it’s possible, Y’all that are struggling holler at me if you need to talk #RecoveryIS Possible
Ya know... I pray for your safe recovery. However, the Jameson bottle pic is a little contradictory lol

Good shit bro. But u know ur profile pic still a bottle right!?!
Keep going homie. I did one bad decision and in back after 100+ days clean from h
54 days sober for me today. Keep up the good work dude. Recovery is definitely possible, it's not easy by any means but to everyone struggling, you CAN do it.

The 1st of November! In the morning - Yelawolf's album, in the evening - Merkules's album! Damn!
This song hits me hard. Almost as hard as the bottle did.
