This song hit me hard back in my days when I was at my worst downfall of life,thank you God for helping me making it hard times,you are reason I’m still here.😢😢😢
This still hits right even years after, August sang nothing but the truth in his songs, he sings the struggle, the pain, the hustle he’s for sure the best that ever happened to R&B
Black Lives Matter! this song represents the fight for our black brothers and sisters. R.I.P. George Floyd and to all the innocent lives that never made it home due to injustice, they and their families deserve justice.
This song represents YOUR fight. The suburban kids who don't know struggle. Ya'll came down here and tore what little shit we had up. And it ain't just black people down here. You fake asshole.
August is so underrated IT REALLY PISSES ME OFF! Ugh, love ya August, I just wish more people would realize just how amazing you are, but until then #AlsinaNation for life
Maybe this sounds a bit cocky but i am actually very happy that he is so underrated because in my opinion a lot of artists that were dope became worse through the Fame e.g (kid ink, the weeknd) . So not that i wouldnt be happy for August to be very successful but it probably wouldnt be that good for my joy listening to his music because it would probably change into some Mainstream shit 😁 and sorry for my Bad english 😅
marcel halilovic that's actually a really good point, the weeknd is an excellent example. He had to tweak his style in order to appeal to mainstream and that took away from the quality of his music
August can make you relate on so many levels. Any other artist can write about what they had gone through in life but August brings it all out. Doesn’t matter if you’re a doctor, teacher, etc it can all relate to us. 🖤
Lord have mercy .. I just so greatly adore this beautiful young soul. Through August's openness sharing his anguish, pain & sorrow, he has become a magnificent light of the highest order around the entire Globe. Fellow feelings and understanding of his incredible spirit is easy, relatable & safe. His amazing presence is proof we are not alone in our own hurts, damage or isolation .. and we can still smile, understand, help and feel PRETTY!!!! Gosh this top-notch, wonderful guy is so rare. Wishing him abundant excellence in his health, peace, happiness & love. August Alsina Receives Direct Blessings From God's Glorious Hands All Day Long!!! GOD'S GOT YOU!!!!
I swear this young man reminds me of j.holiday. It's soooo crazy. He gone make it, man!! I just pray he stays humble and to NEVER forget where he came from
Man I listen to this whenever I feel depressed. It makes me think about my life, especially Jeezy's verse. It's very meaningful if you really listen to it.
August alsina is my #1 favorite artist out of the artist because he write his songs from his heart and he keep it real and he should be the man of the year
and also rappers are out here talking about being trap niggas and they don't even know what that is. because if they did, they wouldn't rap about it like its a game. This song put me in tears because it's like... real life shit
+Arianna Allen-Brown fr im sorry about your sister but i used to live in chicago & i feel you seen my friends dad get his head shot off pray for our city lol
Crying out loud i hold this shit inside for long. Thanks you August Alsina Im tired. God please hear his prayer nd mine please. Please recover love you Let love lead😘❤️💞💞💞
I remember listening to this song a lot when I was like 9. I didn't understand how serious this song was... until here I am, 14. And I now understand what this song is truly about... dear god. Sad world we live in.
Iam starting to love august as an artist. His got really good music out which are amazing. Most of his songs come from his heart. Keep it up August. TeamAugust
This song touches me in every way, August Alsina is fire🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 and everytime I go through depression or mental anxiety, I turn to this song and it touches me in every way🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏.

man I listen to this song every day like this remind me of my sister that past away she was a good person she neave mint to hurt any body but the had to take her man she had a nephew that was only four years old and a sister that cared about her and a suck up mom that did not care she help people out she had a basketball career that was coming up she got accepted for college then she never meant to hurt nobody everybody just the streets is just talking right now R.I.P Dalaysia man she is a good person she got shot play basketball man if I can see her A another day I promise I will try to make it the best day that she'd ever had and I wish her dreams can come true I'm going to make her Dreams Come True by letting her dreams come in two minds
This song is so nostalgic. I fell in love with this song in my junior year in high school, riding the late school bus after a long track meet. It was like 8/9 pm. I played this song in my headphones and closed my eyes. This song takes me back to that exact moment.
To be very honest, I fell in love with this song from the very first time I heard it, and I couldn't stop replaying it even today. Every single time even now I can't stop the tears from flowing from my eyes every time I listen to this song. August you have a beautiful voice, inspiring lyrics and a touching story. I'm only 15 years old so I can't relate but the pain in the lyrics really touches the heart. I love this song ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
iLucasGamaTV do u hear yourself? Trey was once good. But now hes old new. August alsina is the best, he a real hood nigga and knows life. So hes not so dumbfounded as the many "ARTIST" u see today. Hes unique and he dont praise ego... Tf?? 😭😭😂😂👏
This is why I like August.. He sings truth everybody out there only singing bout booty sex girls money and shit but this man he sings more than that which makes his songs relatable. Bruh I have NEVER "fangirled" over any famous person but him bruuuuhhhh😩😩😩

I like Alsina because he speaks the truth in songs like this, he speaks of true stories when people can emotionally connect to music it's beautiful.
August Alsina.. He's gonna make it big, most REAL artist I've heard in awhile.

Black Lives Matter! this song represents the fight for our black brothers and sisters. R.I.P. George Floyd and to all the innocent lives that never made it home due to injustice, they and their families deserve justice.
How about the innocent black lives lost at the hands of other black people? Which happens way more than police killings
Let them have this. They need something to feel better about themselves.
@@bree1620 wow, you didn’t have to classify all black people witt those who promote violence like that.
Amen. God bless you and your family..
This song represents YOUR fight. The suburban kids who don't know struggle. Ya'll came down here and tore what little shit we had up. And it ain't just black people down here. You fake asshole.
Praying for August’s health 🙏🏽

This is great song but it doesn't just apply to black people. It applies to anyone living in the hood
Crazy how it's 2021 and BLM is still being debated as political. Smh
@@Bedhead_Brodi cuz BLM isn't for us real Melanated beings...It's a Joke! Not up for debate..See who sponsor it..
This song is the reason why I like August. So depressing yet so beautiful and real...will always love it!

I pray you regain your ability to walk once again 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
The best thing to come from that whole Jada scandal is that I remembered Alsina's music and it still slaps hard in 2020
He also has a new album out that is incredible as well as a Valentine EP that he dropped last year. All fire.

iLucasGamaTV do u hear yourself? Trey was once good. But now hes old new. August alsina is the best, he a real hood nigga and knows life. So hes not so dumbfounded as the many "ARTIST" u see today. Hes unique and he dont praise ego... Tf?? 😭😭😂😂👏
Makalah Perry LMFAO HOW IS TREY MAD??? IF TREY BROUGHT AUGUST ALSINA IN THE GAME AND TREAT HIM LIKE A BROTHER.
Randy Soun actually, he didnt bring him up in the game. Look at interviews....so knw wtf u talkin about
***** exactly 👌 its okay tho because some people are too fucking stupid to understand
This is why I like August.. He sings truth everybody out there only singing bout booty sex girls money and shit but this man he sings more than that which makes his songs relatable. Bruh I have NEVER "fangirled" over any famous person but him bruuuuhhhh😩😩😩
