    I’ve been disabled in a wheelchair my whole life. I went to Ghostface & Raekwon concert at Sunshine theater in Albuquerque. After the show, he was walking through the crowd, Ghostface stopped and saluted me. May God bless him and his disabled brothers.

I think about my family who all have good hearts and we’re able to provide us with every one of our needs, I am very grateful not only for my own parents, but the other parents out in this world who would do anything for their childrens safety and are willing to make their lives as happy as imaginable despite all the hardships attempting to prevent that, all the parents that will never give up on their children, the parents that provide as much food as possible for their children.

      It wasn't really painful. We was too young to know how hard we had it. Not til you grow up and reflect that it hits you and you reminisce. I wouldn't have it other way though. Tough beginnings give you empathy for people in the struggle. That's why I'm a 42 year old white man who don't have a racist bone in my body. In fact it gave me so much love for the black community. Even after finding out we got robbed on Xmas morning. I remember just feeling so bad for my mother. But even after that, moms still managed to find away. RIP Mommy

    This is one of the reasons why Ghostface Killah is my favourite member of Wu-Tang Clan.

    Oh Jesus, I told myself I wasn't gonna do it, but I always cry when I hear this song especially as it fades off. The violin along with Aunty Mary's soulful and raw voice just tugs at my heart. This song has the ability to unearth deeply embedded emotions and allow them to flow out the body through the form of tears 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

    This is probably one of the realest and inspiring hip hop songs ever if you been through struggles or are struggling now you can always rise above it and become successful if you believe in yourself and put the work in.

    To this day I can't make it through this song with tears. My mom passed a few years ago and we grew up similar to this song. Probably one of the most realest joints ghost ever dropped! Salute Ghost! South Carolina BENZ GANG all day!

    Literally accurate to my story growin up in Dayton, Ohio. I know we all have our own stories but this track always hit home. Lyrical geniuses. The best beats ever made. Wutang forever. Thanks Wutang for your music and giving us a peak into the lives you lived that helped so many through very hard times. Literally no artists ever can recreate the unique quality of your sound. This is why Wutang can't be fkd with
