God bless Paz and this story is hard to hear, but needs to be told. The young generation is lost, love is gone. Whether you are blood or not, the people in your life who are genuinely there for you are family.
my mom started to cry to the song. Im only fifteen, My dad died when i was ten. Life went to hell, nothing really changed. but then she met a man that changed our lives and made it amazing for about five years. but then he started fighting cancer. he died last year... same story different pen.. My ma said she wants to meet him. and thank him for the song. that's how power full the song was
Just found this rapper. The guy is amazing. I don't know which side or place he represents, but this guy is amazing and reminds me of immortal technique. I was mostly listening to mobb deep, nas, tupac, biggie, rakim and other rappers and this guy blows my mind with his lyrical skills. He is a genius and is a instant legend after hearing 2 tracks or so. This song is deep.
I was completely blown away with this song. I grew up with a great step dad and he died of a heart attack after being with my mom for 12 years. I loved him like a dad and he treated me like his biological son. He told all his friends at work that I was his son. This song reminded me of him. Thanks Vinnie for making such beautiful music. Keep it coming you have a fan for life.
Loosing those you love hurt creating a real big gap in you causing you to feel true pain, anger, and hatred but it takes a real man to move passed it with his head up and those he loved in his heart it took me 15 years to realize that. R.I.P to my brother and my uncle.
no artist in any style has ever opened up like this true love obvious to a man who cared about another in no gay way show love 2 this cat pure honest power here
Every time I hear this song, I cry..... i never cry, Ever..... Every last word in this song has to do with my life, to me its a feeling of sadness but then it turns into happyness cuz I know hes with his family, one day waiting for me and my mom!! but in the mean time, I remember reality...
i grew up the man of my house. four of us kids, three different dad's. im the oldest. being 10 and trying to grow up so early, until my moms met my step dad bill. he raised us, even though they didn't stay together without that man i wouldn't have had the same life. im forever grateful that a real man stepped up when he didn't have to. my brother and i are now better men because of him. props to the real men out there, raise your kids they will thank you later i promise you that...
Reminds me of my stepfather in a couple of ways. I actually dropped a tear. Damn this guy is heavy and it seems like he always has words for me for instance. Before a fight.avoiding one. Loss of a job.. justification of my weapons collection. Frustration with the hijacking of the government.my walk with God. And so on and so on and so on. Much respect for this man coming from Dartmouth nova Scotia Canada
One of the truest songs i have ever heard! It brigs me to tears every time i hear it! this song is way above the confession. It tells just the human way of being.
They say that things just cannot grow beneath the winter snow so i have been told. They say we're very far just like a distant star I simply cannot hold. Thats fking beautiful.
That hope/wish is somewhat redundant. We're all going to suffer loss. The loss of a spouse, child, parent, close relative, childhood friend. Such is the nature of time. It does not forgive, or give leaway to any of us. Only 25, have lost all my grandparents, cousins, uncles, aunts, close friends. The nature of life itself comes to giving up and continuing on. That is the beauty of this song.
My step father used to listen to this song after his father died which gave my step dad more of a reason to hate hospitals too..Remember him silently listening to this blaring, looking out the window with my mother driving down the road on a summer afternoon. He changed things in My mother's life, as chaotic as it all was, I was able to see my mother's glowing smile for the 1st time in a long time. I got the call from my mother on my way to work that morning, I knew before she got any words out, and it hit like a rock in my chest; My step dad suddenly and unexpectedly died a few months ago. My mother held his lifeless body in the hospital that morning till he went completely cold. Just found this song again today, and now I'm listening to it through different eyes..
Vinnie Paz, man... this is real shit. I feel for him, this is some deep, decaying shit. Let's celebrate who was here while they were. To those long gone, and unable to hear us, Rest in Peace.
saw vinnie at webster hall in New York City with Ill Bill for the heavy metal kings tour. He is amazing, his rhymes are origina and dope. Keep it up vinnie!!!
Hes a poet. A real Master of Ceremony. Hes real. Hes a part of the hearth of Rap - the hearth of our culture. Fuck the establishment! Love from Germany
R I P.......Troy.......... keep your head up..... this life just a journey, It was Troys tiem to be some where else, were never die................Smile that he was all that he was ..... Do not be sad be happy that you experienced him and he you and remember you will see each other again :)
I think it's songs like this (razor blade salvation etc.) that legitimize the tough songs Vinnie does. Cause you know he's had a tough life. It's one in a million that can turn such a bad thing into something as beautiful as this
im the same, cant believe that there is 1 dislike to this song. Its fresh as fuck. And hard core hip hop we dont get enough postive male role models . There not many people that could write of there love of step parents . he must of been a great man.
this is the truth in side of our minds and sometimes we get sacred to say what we really fell for some else and sometimes its just way to late to open up your heart. because the light its taking way from us and now we are left in the dark
Man bro i know how it feels. its gonna be a year since my girlfriend died in the Batman premier. I was gonna propose to her. now vinnie is the only pal i have.
MY STEP POPS HAS PAST. HE WAS MY LIFE AND TREATED MY MOM LIKE A QUEEN. THIS SONG HITS MY HEART. i MISS MY STEP POPS WHO I CONSIDER MY DAD. I REAL DAD IS PERFECT TOO. I HAD 2 DADS THAT I LOVE SO MUCH
this shit is dope man...just discovered vinnie like a month ago and beed addicted ever since....one of the best i ever heard...dope beats and wicked deep lyrics...the ultimate songs for sure
If you like this song...buy it...buy the album...support real hip hop...Vinnie is real, he is an absolute class act in person. I'd love to hear this on my local Southern California radio stations instead of the bullshit they're playing right now. Support Vinnie Paz / Jedi Mind Tricks / Army Of The Pharoahs / Enemy Soil...ain't much of hip hop got a real future right now but they do!! We need an antidote to the mainstream radio bullshit, I haven't been able to listen to the radio in 3 years.
This track always touches me, straight from the heart
Still

Too beautiful... If every hip hop song were like this no one would ever even think to call Hip Hop a "bad influence". Thank you Vinnie!

Vinnie paz is a legend, his music is just amazing!
Vinnie Paz is like the brother i never had, every song, every time i listen to them, i get a different message that hits home harder than the last.

gotta respect a rapper that's incredibly hard nd got a compassionate side!
One of the truest songs i have ever heard! It brigs me to tears every time i hear it! this song is way above the confession. It tells just the human way of being.

Thats fking beautiful.
sick as man, got alot of mana n power in the lyrics.. mad respect vinnie staright from NEW ZEALAND. peace
Another vinnie paz banga, too filthy. This is why this dude is a king.
"I was just so happy that you was alive"
you can hear it in his voice that he isn't bullshitting here.
Sorry for your loss bro, stay strong for him he's with you

Vinnie Paz, man... this is real shit. I feel for him, this is some deep, decaying shit. Let's celebrate who was here while they were. To those long gone, and unable to hear us, Rest in Peace.

This song was my blueprint on how to be a step dad 😢 🙏
I think it's songs like this (razor blade salvation etc.) that legitimize the tough songs Vinnie does. Cause you know he's had a tough life. It's one in a million that can turn such a bad thing into something as beautiful as this
I don't understand how someone could press the dislike button when listening to this. Really makes you think about your life
im the same, cant believe that there is 1 dislike to this song. Its fresh as fuck. And hard core hip hop we dont get enough postive male role models . There not many people that could write of there love of step parents . he must of been a great man.
This is a deep song.. True words from the heart! No other music can compete. Respect from Delaware County PA.
this is the truth in side of our minds and sometimes we get sacred to say what we really fell for some else and sometimes its just way to late to open up your heart. because the light its taking way from us and now we are left in the dark

Can't wait for Pazman Oswalt's new album, this track is sick. Australian tour in 2010 will be insane!
You can see the heavy metal influence shine through even in the softest of vinnie's songs
