I watched this video while sitting on my front steps holding my new born son. 3 years ago I was still in prison finishing up a ten year bid. I literally just sat listening with tears streaming down my face. That's what music is supposed to do. Much love don
i doubt your going to read this Mr. Alpoko but this song gives me so much hope ive been following you for years. ive been to prison and i just got sentenced to probation yesterday on my 4th and 5th felony. they charged me with the 4th habitual which means the judge could of gave me life. i never see anyone who already isn't rich and famous who did time come out and do something with there life. i used my criminal record as an excuse to not get out there and chase my dreams. seeing you chase yours inspires me to never give up on mine. thank you Mr. Alpoko i hope if we meet its on the sunny side of the sidewalk god bless
Lee walls well said you keep on keeping on i believe your going to be just fine its never too late to learn a lesson and bravo to the judge for not giving you a life sentence especially considering we have child molesters barely getting time 😇😇😇😙😙
My son committed suicide November 24,2020 this song came to me through his play list and music is what helps me keep going thank you Zack Flack world 🌎 11/14/01 - 11-24-2020 Iwillalwaysloveyoumissingyoueverymoment
@@1104ray thank you I never thought I'd make it this far honestly but I keep my baby boy in my heart always and i truly believe that is why I'm able to keep going
Yup wen he gets out bruh ?? I love dis sgit right here doe I know he doin his thing on lock they should be a way for him to do it in there ro reach us now I believe nless he on lock 🔐
Hopefully he will be coming out with new music VERY SOON...Hes now a free man in his hometown and working on laying new tracks..A VERY talented man who can spit at a moments notice on any topic given! Hes watching Im sure so if you wanna hear more hit the like button
I write songs n in january i was shot n paralyzed from the knees down i wanted to give up but i heard this song and i started rethinking life like i cant give up I got a family i gotta be here for. So i feel this song alot. cause i been knoccin on heavens door
2025 been listening to this as a young teen. You kept me straight. I learned through your music you don’t gotta be gangster and a criminal to keep it G. Hope and pray for all my brothers and sisters reading this. Knock on heavens door and don’t stop chasing your dreams. Keep your thoughts positive and you vibration high.
Ns SolaRium nah don't wish this upon him. He wouldn't be able to make the good music if he was under the knife of a record company. Besides good music like this is not what the majority of sheeple wanna hear. Just look at what is played on the radio. Point proven.
Oneshotup the stuff thats on the radio isnt the peoples choice its a playlist sent from the radio execs..if it was by the people alot of artist would be across different station and certain artist would be alot further in their career.
They deny cos they knoe he knoe buttttt wen God say when you Win... God bless Alpoko Don for removing the fear that cripples soooo many others from speaking 🙏 🙌 👏 Truth over Lies!
Man. I want to thank God for bringing me to this. I needed this so much.Thank you for listening to the spirt that indwells. Keep the faith brother. Glory to God.
I lost a great friend today , this song came up out of nowhere.... I hear u loud and clear my freind. RIP Charlie . Great version of this song u have talent sir.
Raging Bagel You do realize just because he's locked up he can still make it? He's left us with some great tracks which is enough to get him noticed, look at Bobby Shmurda.. These are facts lol.
Honestly who cares how bad the production is. when the song touches you man it doesn't matter. Alpoko man, keep doing your thing man. Keep knocking on heavens doors!
The fact that the production isn't all that great and he still sounds amazing is proof of his amazing raw talent... Most people need good production to sound at least halfway decent and the fact that this is fire with the shitty production and all, means hes hella good. Imagine this, if he sounds this good with shitty production, wait till hes got good production, he's finna blow them panties off... Hes killing it.
Don has a voice that was made to ride a beat str8 up. He never disappoints. He sounds better with the stuff at home then most people do in expensive studios 💯 #2022stillridin
I am LITERALLY living this. I said a week ago I won't smoke more, after kicking for 3days lost, alone, on the street in FUCKING Mexico. I don't speak Spanish yo. Had no money. No phone. Not even a fucking blanket. Was so thankful for a bed wen I got to one... But that's day, I turned around n had a tray in my hand. So fuckin depressing that I'm KICKING on Heavens door... They just looking out the blinds telling me I can't come in..... Anyway, my bad for the length of this. Keep pushing hard up the middle brother, they can't hold that line forever. Be safe. Peace.
I have listened to your music over and over. It's beautiful feeling to hear real struggle street music by a true artist . The world needs more like you. REAL
man im just waiting to hear some more of your songs man. I did 8 years in arkansas prison system so i feel your songs man. ive been out since 2013 . thank god. look forward to your stuff bro.
It's 2020 and I still listen to all your music going back to 2010/2011. Your cant beat RAW TALENT like this. Hats off King! Awaiting your next project.
5yrs later, Quarantine madness is how I found this song + I love it!! Wish I found him sooner. Too many crap "rappers" out there nowadays. He is NOT 1 of them! Wish you success, my friend. You deserve it!! This dumpster fire that is 2020 allowed me to find some great music + remember some serious throwbacks...we all need a lil music in our lives! BE SAFE, BE GOOD to ourselves + others ✌💖
Reading thru comments, apparently, dudes in jail for a bit...Got this on my playlist, I'll keep bumpin this beat. Hopefully, when he's released, will hear more from him. Good luck, keep ya head up + come out ready to show the rest of the world your talent!
Me I just cry when I see him. Is like I feel I love him. No matter what he is passing through. And I put him in the hands of Christ. I love his heart. U can feel some one who says sorry God Iam back to u
In 2005 a week before Christmas I woke up to my baby nephew passed away a week before Christmas he was 1 month 2 weeks old. This son right here means alot to me. It tells me their Is s light at the end of the dark tunnels. We all just need to find our way threw all the cold wet mud to get to the dry sand.
I met this dude at the bus station in Greenville awesome dude we chop it up for a bit before he had to catch his bus keep writing music Man can't wait to hear some of your new stuff stay up homie
Savage talent. listen to all his stuff. He is for real man... so sad that he isnt touring. You got some talentless hacks out there that have everything and this dude is better than almost all of them and he ain't got nothin'????? This world is twisted man.
I totlally agree Alkpoko came to me through these songs I love all types.of music if it doesn't make you think of cry its not music it has to be passionate real and straight from the heart
Still listening been listening and showing people this cat for years. Big bro seen him beating on a Porch on worldstarr so I looked him up. Been on every playlist since. Wish best for homie stay out of trouble fam.
I am also white And American but in all honesty if you really listen to this song more than twice and you don’t feel that a little feeling you have no soul this fucking song can Touch any live animal on earth
He had different vibes we needed in this time … i hope he comes back or starts something for upcoming christian rappers! He opened the door for the wave of christian rap.

Ns Solarium most are though..name 3 that aint who have the power to push his music the way it should be pushed.
Oneshotup the stuff thats on the radio isnt the peoples choice its a playlist sent from the radio execs..if it was by the people alot of artist would be across different station and certain artist would be alot further in their career.
I just heard this song playing in the background of a scene from NCIS Las Vegas 4/26/2019
