I sent this to my son who is a heroin addict and he drove to my house and grabbed and hugged me while he cried like never before. This was yesterday, he spent the night and I took him to rehab. I pray it works this time😢

Addy speed and opiate free for 1year feels easy now more easy than active addiction
Thank you 🙏🏽
@@bebemilo666that's awesome, keep going. Life gets better...!
Praying don't help unfortunately 💔🖤💊💀😞
My boyfriend and I got clean together 2/3/23 at home with a support group of miracle workers. Not easy but so worth it for everyone who said we could NEVER do it together. My dad was an alcoholic and I was so angry at him until I became an addict myself. He’s clean now bc he’s dead lol but I imagine he’d laugh at me saying that and call me an asshole and be super proud I broke free. Less judgment, more love. People just need help. So grateful to my family who loved me when I didn’t love myself. “Are you afraid to die? No. Then why are you so afraid to live?”
I can relate, thats me and my husband together at home, but our support group was literally just Jesus, often through our daughter who is 10. Happy to walk in the land of the living
@@jessicabrown2113 Jesus Helps us all if we let him.... He saved me 5 weeks ago

Spend my life since 10 To keep shit away but It always comes to me I don't know how , My parents divorced that year And changed scool host family for a year ! Then with my mom ... At 18 got my apartment My girl was cheating on me After 14 months of relationship and man it wasn't easy ! Never been able to keep a steady job more than 3 months since 21 Tryout 20 other things And in Québec it's not all places that want a partials employee.. At 36 my girl cheated on me because she was thinking that i was going on dates and it wasn't true but she Believed that because of an employee at her job telling her He wanted her badly 😢 After 11 years of love she Started to do coke and speed Then her mind took off imagination when on She was in a psychos After 6 month of drugs And i was sick from kidney stone at hospital She came twice to see me but Didn't seemed loving me like before and when i got out She wasn't really feeling well In her mind ... I've lost 40 pounds after 3 month of vomiting and diarrhea 😢😢 lost my girl Lost my job Lost my car and my mind . Been true court for separation and she accused me of being suicidal Been to 4 days locked up In psychiatric hospital for nothing but female defense And nonsense ! To this day 4 years later Didn't understand why it was All happening to me No girl wanted me after that Moved bac to my mom's basement for a new start in 2020 whit 20 000 in debt On sociale aid since that day ... still trying to find light In that darkness life im into Can find love no more It's so tuff to find someone who is interested to just Listen to your story and Give you a little chance To prove that ''' You still have a heart ❤ That need someone else Still having love to give To a women who Understand You and See the rest of the diamond in your eyes... Im a simple man And i just wanted to be love again 🎉🎉🎉🎉😪
I spent 13 years of my life homeless on heroin in streets of Kensington in Philly. I have 7 years clean now and never thought I would see the day I got my life together. I'm extremely grateful to wake up everyday in the apartment I worked hard for with food in the fridge and not have to get high to feel better. I literally came from the gutter to where I am now. This song cuts deep Joyner and jelly roll did a great job on this one.
God bless you congratulations on getting clean and staying clean!
great job, hats off. respect
I'm from NE Philly. Kensington is no joke. Glad you made it out the bad lands.
💪🏾💯 that’s tuff I seen it out there proud of you 👏🏾 stay focused
Congrats on making it out of that hell hole and getting your shit together that's tuff!!!!
I am 30 days clean after 15 years of drugs and my wife of 12 years is still out there getting high. Broken hearts can mend but takes patience. Please pray for her. As soon as I see her I'm taking her to detox by God's grace. Love you all. God bless and give me the strength Lord. 🙏
i'M JUST A STRANGER MY DEAR FRIEND, But know that Gods gotchu. Im sending something of good your way man. have a great one. Much Love.
Will be praying for you both
Praying for you and your wife and everyone struggling. Please choose your life.. a life to live. I lost my brother to it
Everyone has their struggles. Keep pushing is what's most important
Sending you strength and positive vibes.
When this came out I was homeless, on drugs, and then jail. I now have a house, job, and husband. This song and “Clover Cage - In the Moment” are the two songs that helped get rid of my depression. I just want to send love to everyone and I want everyone to know things will get better. We are in this together..I love you 💕😊
Damn one rough month huh 😭🤦🏾♂️
all that in one month? 😭 tf you find a husband, get out of jail, and get a house, all in one month? like good for you, but kinda suspicious😅
As a current addict, this is giving me the strength to change because I know how my friends feel, without me around, family is not the same life is not the same, like for the first time I had a voice speaking for me, and my sister listened ❤❤ she never listen to me. It's going to be a hard road for me, but what has killed everything in my life hasn't killed me. 1 day sober a million more to go I'm ready I got this. Thanks to y'all
You got this!
You got this! Thoughts and prayers for you! 🙏 ❤️
Hope you still at it bro ✊🏽
Are you doing okay in the 10th day?
You probley wont see this. I hope you do. I know how you feel, I was you. H took every friend I ever had, more family that I care to count. I hit rock bottom so hard I bounced. I couldnt accept that was who I was. I was weak and I hated it. That hate made me strong. I stood the fuck up and strait kicked after 15 years of oxy then up. Beat of luck. Prayers hommie. Strength above all.
Joyner rapping two different perspectives is a cheat code. Chills
That’s his thing it seems he’s the best at it
He been doing this!!!
@@thepsychonaut6395 Ross cappiconi put me on to him. It's genius, you get both types of people loving the song.
This is a rem8nder for me later on.
Period..
8,284 days (22 years, 8 months and 5 days) clean here! There is hope. 🙏🏻
God Bless you too. I don't know you but I'm proud of you. 👏🏽 Be safe.
I know I don't know you, but I'm proud of you.
And counting* I'm so fucking proud of you.. do you want to sponsor me by chance? Please reach out if so
Never stop counting ...... It's not the been addicted that's hard it's the been sober an know one understands that
Well done brother! ❤
My son is an addict. His addiction caught him 24 years in prison. Grieving the loss of a child who is still alive 💔
Fuck did I cry, it’s like it was written for me and my brother ….breaks my heart in silence
Literally my exact words
I felt that one 😢
Head up high always we are worth a lot more than we think
This is the anthem of millions of broken homes, millions of kids who needed a parent that was taken by drugs 💔
My dad passed away due to drugs when i was 6 and i needed him badly.
Also the millions of parents suffering with kids who are struggling with addiction.
AMEN. 🙏 ❤️🙏 💯💯💯💯💯
Any addiction, not just drugs.
💗💗💗
14 months sober from hard drugs. Lord save my father now. He's still addicted and I need him. 💙🙏🏼
I'm an atheist, so for me, it's a gift you choose to give yourself once, you get clean and/or sober. But I don't care if you have a faith that works for you do you, just wanted to share that. May 1st I'll have 34 years, put the needle down at 22. You keep fighting for your worth and I'm wishing you both wellness too, I'm 🤞 for your dad. 💓
Stay strong my brother. I believe n u.
I'll keep you in my prayers my brother🙏🏿
Positive vibes and thoughts your way 🙏🙏✍
Yes pray to God he's the only one who can break the chains I pray God delivers all from drug abuse in Jesus name
Just lost my ex to drugs today this song hits so much harder then before
My brother n law is active in addiction I see how it effects my husband I pray he gets clean and for all of yall dealing with a friend or love one in addiction I pray they get clean
As someone who lost his brother due to addition, it's a hard struggle.
I will donate $0.50 to children in need foundation for every likes I get 🚁
Prove it
"If you don't believe in yourself, then you'll never believe in somebody believing in you" 💯🔥
Realllll I felt this in my soul
That bar hits like a freight train
Am going through shit thanks joyner
Every body is fake no one believes in you
@@oscarluganda6231hope everything gets better for you brother
My grandson never gave up on his mom, even when he lived with me and we had not heard from my daughter for 14 months. Then she turned up again... and did not get clean, over and over and over again. At almost 45 years old, things changed. We had all given up. Five years later -- she has just gotten her first paid vacation at work and is living in the same apartment for almost 4 years, and is up for a second promotion, and keeps her car payment paid, cooks, and never goes out at night. phew! Miracles do happen. But it can be way, way down the road if they don't die. So live your life and put yourself FIRST -- You can be there for them, but you can't save them.
That's awesome, WE DO RECOVER..!
Struggling myself and hearing this song has come at the right time
ex junkie here. you got this homie its worth the pain
There is hope. It may feel hopeless at times but God has something huge planned for you. Your story could be the only other story capable of saving another person's soul. That's person's story could be someone else's etc etc etc...you got this
You got this big bro from someone who lost their brother this year to a fentanyl over dose I praise and pray anyone that is struggle gets the help they need I just know it’s worth the pain to get clean and you got it homie
One day at a time i promise you can do it
Truly incredible bro.
You supposed to react to it bro why are you under here
@@kenztalks9420 and that doesn't ring a bell that he has already filmed his reaction and he's editing it???? 😂😂😂😂
Crypt the GOAT for real!
True
Next should be Jelly Roll and NF
I have 274 days clean from fentanyl today. I’m thankful for each one that I get and I’m grateful I was given the opportunity to get my life back before my addiction killed me.
Congrats! What a huge accomplishment, I am so happy you’re here with us and so proud of YOU! 🩷
go listen to my music and lmk what you think please
I’m proud of you stranger!
Now this comment caught my attention because Blues is so hard to kick. I am 7 months clean off Fentanyl and I'm proud to say I don't crave or want the drug no more.
Absolutely proud of anyone and everyone that has won the battle with addiction and to anyone that's still fighting, keep going and keep pushing you can make it through it.
My son sent me this song after my last overdose. I cried like a baby when I heard this song. I've learned that there is a solution. Ive been clean and sober for a month now. Thank u Jake Duby. Luv always ur mom
18 years as an alcoholic. Almost lost my life, my kids, and my wife. Next Thursday is 10 months sober. One day at a time. One moment at a time.
Im not gonna lie this had me tearing up. Very powerful song and visual. Hip hop has been lacking in this department and Joyner definitely filled the void. This should go #1
Whole facts man 💯
WORRRRD bro this shit really deep like that....I Like how he always show both sides of the story equally
lotta rappers been hitting this mark lately, not usually as in depth as this but you love to see it regardless
Has been in a league of his own since day 1!
Stfu girl. You're fishing for likes. Disliked.
two months clean, just for today. "If you don't believe in yourself, then you'll never believe in somebody believing in you"
I believe in you....cuz I was you. Stay positive, stay present, stay FREE. You got this
❤❤❤❤
I have ten years clean from heroin and I’ve got almost a year from cocaine meth and whatever else I was doing I feel great I’ve been on the sublocade shot for a month now I got 5 more then I’m off all the opioid blockers I wanna be clean from everything but weed that’s it
You got it, bro. Just remember to always give yourself one more day when times get tough.
I pray ur still clean ❤
My older brother was addicted to heroin and meth, living on the streets. I finally brought him to me and he has worked his ass off to stay clean for 3 years now. Out of nowhere our younger brother died of an overdose last summer. Broke my heart. 💔 Our family has been haunted by addiction. I pray for everyone struggling or missing someone. ❤️🙏🏽
✨✨ a u t h e n t I c v i e w s ✨ ✨ really propelled Joyner Lucas to the big leagues, and for that, I'll forever be grateful
This is what Hip Hop expression is all about making those uncomfortable songs. To empower communities and the people. Excellent job Joyner Lucas, Being a voice for the voiceless

Well said fam 🫶🏾
12 years clean. Lost my little brother to an overdose 5 years ago. I've been on both sides of this, this song literally brought me to tears. Thank yall for speaking so much truth.
Congratulations on ur sobriety. I’ve got five yrs almost six. I also lost my big brother to this. This song just hits different. I’m crying bc of the guilt I feel for not being able to save him. I’m sorry for ur loss
Congrats. Tell ur story. You never know who is listening.
Yes please
Aye man, I couldn’t imagine losing a little brother.. cause we were the ones who were supposed to set the example.. so I feel for you brother.. having someone take after your steps.. and not being able to tell the story just breaks something In you that you can’t fix.. but congrats on being 12 years clean and doing better for yourself and your brother , I’m sure he’s looking down on you right now with tears in his eyes knowing that one of you guys were able to hit that u turn and turn shit around . I hope nothing but the best for you brother.. I love you❤️🙏 feel free to reach out to me at any time .
I am also a former attic myself and I lost my husband of 16 years to have fentanyl overdose which scared me straight. I am now clean and sober 2 years and 7 months
2 of the artists I been rolling with long before they ever blew up and only had like 100 thousand subscribers. Now they both huge and collaborating 🔥☠️
To every comment that is telling us your story. We are all proud of you and praying that y'all don't relapse. May God be by your side on your journey
Man this is feeling like old Joyner. No flexing, no cars and women. It’s Joyner at his best, writing about something real from different perspectives.
this.
Loved the old Joyner before the fame he would even message you back on Facebook he was very active very real rapper. Amazing rapper. 😊
I don't know how he puts himself in these positions. Because this song is painful for me to hear and nothing like this has ever touched my life.
@@horemmars Experience, Especially with Jelly roll involved, Jelly roll was speaking to the senate about drug deaths just a couple months ago.
F🤬infinite G’s in 20’s let’s do better
bro my name is Airik Lee I've lost everything good that God blessed me with I have 4 beautiful kids and I kept turning to drugs to fulfill a part of me that I thought was going to make me happy but did nothing besides make my life worse I've had a warrant for my arrest for two years now for missing court and not showing up when I was suppose too. After hearing this on replay I'm finally owning up to everything I did wrong. I'm about to turn myself in and pray to God that my kids can see and have a sober father figure that they can look up to thank you Joyner Lucas and Jelly Roll!!
This is STRENGTH! It takes a real man to do this. It's really hard to face our consequences, but doing so will show your loved ones and yourself that you are all worth it. You will find relief and there's a lot of support out there. I'm proud of you. You got this 💪
I hope you follow through with this. I was a terrible person and father in my early 20s. On meth and just wild activities. It took people dying all around me to move and start fresh. It was hard to face the people I had wronged and accept that they may not forgive me right away. But getting my son back in my life and helping him grow into the man I wasn't has been worth it. He's now married with 2 kids and has an amazing career. It's never too late to start to make things right. You just need to decide to start giving the world more than you take.
Pick yourself that up at best my lost friend even hope to learned better
You fucking got this! Jail can provide clarity. Just don’t let the system make you angry bc it will try. You got this man! ❤
God bless you 🙏 I pray that whatever state you are in will have grace on you and you get to be able to enjoy that fatherhood. Peace and prosperity for you and yours 🙏💪
My girl had a addiction She is 2 months clean I’m so proud of her.
I spent 11 years homeless in sacramento ca on heroin I got 36 days clean today!
Congratulations hopefully you stay clean I know I’m a stranger but what I do know about you is that you were strong enough to say no to the hardest drug to quit from heroin so there for I am proud of you and I am praying for you ❤
Congratulations!!!!!🎉🎉🎉
Hi haw are you

@@user-jd2tr5me5c hello ❤️
People want to glorify the songs about the drugs and partying, but when real shit like this comes out people don’t really listen. Joyner and Jelly Roll, y’all did a big 1 with this song ❤️ Thank you both.

Killed it.
Facts!!!!!
To all those who are sober, I’m proud of you. To those who are trying, I believe in you. To those who aren’t trying, I hope you can let go, I want to believe in you❤️

I'm literally pouring tears right now! Me and my fiance both got hooked on pain killers about 3 yrs ago! It got bad! I finally decided to to talk to God and ask for change and strength and he gave it to me! I'm 1 month clean and I'm eating healthy and fasting! But I'm literally hurting for my fiance! She can't seem to find it in herself to make that change with me and I see it tearing her apart every day! I'm here to tell anyone out there that's going through this that there is a way out! You have to manifest on it and pray for it and truly believe in yourself and just do it!!! God help all in need! Thank you jelly roll and Joyner Lucas! The world needed this one bad!!!!!!!
Love you, we all do. Don't give up big kid 🙂

I pray for my dad every day. He struggles with a meth addiction and it’s so hard seeing him caught in this trap of addiction. I hope he gets better before it’s to late
Do you know my oldest is 18 years old? seen your comment just put it into perspective on how my kids must’ve felt all the years I let the devil win. I’m now over a year clean and live with my kids again. Keep praying for your dad bro. I’m gonna pray for him too.
There’s an app called boulder care it’s a doctor office that works with addiction all over video calls with u super easy n comfy too
@@anthonyross2428amen brother same here
Pray that God takes his lust for Meth away. Sometimes it's the words we say that matter most in prayers. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Same.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🤦♂️ the only reason why I’m here is cuz my kids
After spending 17 years on meth and losing everything I had, my family my friends my home and cars. I was finally able to get myself clean through the grace of god and my recovery program. Just got my 9 year chip on April 11th this year. Unfortunately my long time girlfriend and mother of my son continues to struggle. She was supposed to turn herself in to jail today but decided to run instead. Praying she can make the right decision before she ends up dead or serving a long prison sentence. This song made me cry because it truly relates to my current situation.
Im an opiate addict. Clean for about 13 years now. Wife, kids, good job, all that. This shit made me tear up. Man yall are on a different level with music. From my soul, Thank you
How'd you get clean if you don't mind saying?
@@cornholio13 receive Jesus and understanding that u are not ur addicting desires
I respect you for saying you are an addict. Cause once an addict you will always be, but you can stop using, and stop and push on and resist the temptation.
Im glad to hear and this songs hits home
Thats great..I'm currently going through fet withdrawal but i was deteriorating mentally and physically and ruined all my relationships. But I'm done and i pray to god my temptations won't take hold of me
My mom has been homeless and struggling with addiction since I was 16. I’m 24 now and still feel like that confused 16 year old girl. She has been coming in and out of my life since and I just pray daily that God gives her another day to see. Just lost my pops so I’m even more confused now but I can’t let what my parents do/did be a reflection of my decisions. I gotta do what’s best for me 🖤
❤
You go girl. Remember you have a father. You ðont have to go to church to visit him either. He is there to listen when ever or whereever you are.
My parents are addicts and have been homeless since I was 10 I’m now 28 and they are still addicts but they making progress
I’m 38 and still confused. It doesn’t ever get easier but you learn new ways to cope with it over the years. Just make sure the ways are healthy. 🤍
This shit just broke me down
I was born and raised in a very toxic family. My father was addicted to drugs and alcohol, he died cuz of it. Growing up I saw what he was doing to my mother. How he abused her, beat her in front of us kids, and neglected us. I didn’t do anything to stand up for her or stop him. Even though I was the eldest among my siblings, I stood and watched because unfortunately I took him as a role model and tried to be like him. This was the reason for the destruction of my life. I left that house. Even now I live in another state far away, but my father's personality traits sadly remain with me to this day. I got married and have a 4-year-old son. A few days ago, my wife decided to take my son and leave. I don't blame her though. In fact, she's right. When I sat alone in our house, it gave me the opportunity to reflect and I’ve realized that my life was nothing more than a joke. I haven't done anything good in my life. didn't smile at others or say anything nice to people. Didn’t defend my mother even once and left her at a time when she needed her eldest son the most. Today I decided to change my life and get on the right path. I will get clean just for my son's sake, so that he doesn't grow up without a father or even try to be like his father. And while doing so, maybe I'll get my wife back in the process. I want to get my life on the right track. My new goal is a new clean life and I hope I succeed.
This is so powerful, Christ changes things.... fixes people. Our hope isn't in each other but Christ alone.
Coming up on 9 months clean, and I can't even begin to tell you what kind of impact your guys music has had on the recovery community. Please never stop what you do
Keep going my g!! 🎉🎉 were proud of you!! Atleast I am
Facts. We are proud! Things can be around that time. Keep your head up. Don't stop working towards a future.
10 years clean from drugs and alcohol. Songs like this help .. thank you
Well dune .an excellent job.song cuts hard. 20 years ago. Only smoke now. Still got to stop .if not 4 me .for my little girl. Getting big
❤❤❤❤
Up until 3 years ago I realized that staying in toxic relationships can be an addiction too. You get addicted to the pain, the turmoil, the stress, the potential of what could be, the good times...all of it.
I dont post things but...I got tears streaming right now. My husband battled for 11 yrs. We went through it. He's now sober for 1yr 3months. We are healing now. I realize now that haven't ever really properly grieved all of the pressure and dispare the family went through trying to be understanding and encouraging yet balance trying to still maintain our sanity during those times. Didn't expect this song to hit like it did but the lyrics showing the honest real convo from both sides of the addiction those dealing with it and family really hit hard. I'm happy and celebrate his sobriety still shaking ptsd from some things but so grateful he decided to get help and love himself 1st so he could start to learn how to love us again. Prayers to all out there in it. There is a brighter day ahead.
😮💨 this is why I haven’t given up on my boyfriend. This reason right here. It’s tough but when everyone gives up who do they look to? Where can they run? I am in it for the long haul. I know that we do recover.
go listen to my music and lmk what you think please
Amazing god bless u guys
God bless you! My fiancée left me as soon as she found out. He’s a real lucky man that you stayed by his side. You are one of a kind and I hope you guys go on to live a long happy life.
Stay the course, prayers
Sober since 01/17/2023...lost my girlfriend, my job, my home. Left jail yday. Came out homeless but I'm determined to fly amongst the eagles. Not going to fall victim in these streets. I don't know anything but I'm certain that I'm not going to give up. This song is motivating me to keep pressing forward with every ounce of fight in me.
All the best🎉
This was me in 2021, except I lost my wife of 15 years.....great job, house....now I got 3 years clean off meth and heroin. Keep moving forward bro, don't look back! You can do it, one day at a time🤜🏻🤛🏻
Wow 1st time I heard this song… wow is All I can say!! I thank God everyday for this amazing beautiful life I get to live now, even tho Ik I deserve to be dead. God and songs like this keep me going 3 yrs sober and counting!!❤
5 years clean off heroin , making 6 figures and have a wife and 4 kids. If you’re reading this you too can turn your life around. I ODed driving my last shot. God kept me here ❤
Listening to this song for the 1st time on the birthday of my brother who lost his battle with addiction. He got 30 short years. 💔 He should've been 32 today. I'm praying for everyone struggling and proud of everyone who's fighting every day to stay sober.
I also lost my brother. He battled addiction for years. I only wish that those who struggle with addiction know that those who love them see more of the good in them than the bad. My heart goes out to you and your family.
Continue working hard, as it will be worth it in the end. You will feel joy and progress towards a beautiful outcome, as you have worked hard towards it.😢 sorry bout bout ur brother... I can't imagine if it was my son's or my brother
Sorry for your loss, I lost so many people that there is nobody left that I grew up with (pill mills where we grew up) 80% of everybody I grew up with got addicted to opiates and most OD’ed when fent came around, should be dead myself. I’m still fighting those demons away for the past 4 years
I lost my brother too. I still don't know if I did anything right for him. But I miss my little brother. Today is a hard day.
As a grown man, this song put me tears, if you relate you relate. Joyner you’re one of the best on this planet, out here making real music.
Currently crying. I feel you, babe. Every bit of it
God yes everytime
People really need to just sit down and listen to the words being said in this song
Songs like this are what made me a fan of joyner. Storytelling from two different perspectives.
My wife and I were both lost in addiction for so long and now we're directors of a non profit organization helping people out of addiction and developing a relationship with God ❤ this song has so much truth in it and it's a instant classic ❤
First off congrats. Where are you based out of?
God is so good
Man that is so awesome I am still struggling myself I have kinda lost everyone close to me lost all my life works I have died 5 times since July of 23/- February 24-2024 twice of 1💔 attack then you got pneumonia went septic got put into an induced coma for 7 days and died three times of respiratory failure but I have gave my life back to the Lord and it's slowly getting better 😢
This is why Joyner is above EVERY other modern day rapper: the intricate storytelling that cuts deep and doesn't spout off repetitive bullshit.
FACTS
The majortiy of his songs are repetitive bullshit tho lmao
Facts this why he is my favorite rapper
Shut up. Stop stating your opinion like it’s a fact.
🍖 meat riding joyner so much u prolly don't even know jelly roll
This song is so powerful, my husband played it for me yesterday and I've had it on repeat pretty much since. The 1st verse was me to my ex in my 20s, then my family to me in my 30s, until i began to face the demons in addiction. To realize those demons were roots of pain and trauma from a young age. Then I started speaking up alot more like verse 2 and nobody liked it at 1st. So my husband and I, took our daughter with us and moved away from everyone. We were on our own journey walking in faith, overcoming a past that haunted and crippled us too long. We got clean by letting go of the fight that was too big for us and dealing with the things we could change, our attitude, as we walked through the process of healing, God has began restoring everything. But that's taken a complete different way of thinking and boundaries with family and friends. Who are now beginning to respect us. One of the biggest thought change, was to recognize the self sabotaging thought patterns and replace them with the rest of my life is the best of my life and shit like that. Well not shit, because it's now beautiful things. I'm 44 now so it's not too late as long as your breathing
I'm battling my demons as we speak. My dad passed back in August and I tried to hold it in then I got laid off 2 weeks before my birthday and that was about it I exploded and I couldn't control life or my life anymore, I feel horribly about all of this because it's done damage to my marriage and my health and I just used the last of what I had and I'm going to try my warrior hardest to stay clean I think hope wish and pray that this is it I've been going hard to numb the pain for 4 straight months now and I'm sick of it. The disappointment alone kills me inside. Thank you for this direction I needed. Joyner and Jelly I appreciate and respect your lyrics more than any other now a days. Keep driving keep inspiring keep you! One love!!!
Joyner. You’ve yet again made a grown man cry on something he wasn’t fully aware of how crippling it is in his life. There ain’t no one else like you man
You got this.
Real talk!
@@natashahailey9102I appreciate you
I’m feel every word in this song I’ve been in and out of 6 rehabs, I’m about to turn 30 with nothing to show for opiates have held me hostage everyday since 17 .
I met my wife 10 years ago. She struggle with addiction. I found out in the beginning in our relationship and decided I would stick by this woman. I was at every NA meeting with her and try my hardest to help in every way. 10 years laters/her being 10 years sober to date. We have 5 boys and a home. I’m so proud of here. This song hits home 😢❤
I wish my husband stood by me. Instead he used my addiction as a reason/excuse to mistreat me and abuse me mentally 😕😢
My womans addiction turned into my own addiction and landed me in jail for 8 months. Just got out last week. She has done a lot of work on herself and Im clean too. Shes going to work soon. Im back in school. Sometimes it takes rock bottom in a relationship…
Be proud of her and yourself. I know life from her side, you being there not judging just loving her for her, faults and all, you are what real heroes are made of. Stay positive and being the awesome person you are. Idk you but I truly appreciate who you are!!!
"How come you only there for me when I be trying to get clean". That shit honestly hurts when you realize that he's talking to most of us
My mom and dad are or where had drug addiction,s and thus has helped me thru it i appreciate it 🙏 😢
These two artists have saved my Life with there music many of times. Drug addiction is no joke. Thank you Joyner and jelly ♥️
#keepgoing ! Prayers from Pa
stay strong stranger !! you are tough !!
If you just say no to the drug. You wouldn't have been a junkie. Your mind is weak af if an artist saved your life. Be stronger. And stop being a junkie 🐑
@@imthewholetrilogy1501 you clearly know nothing about addiction.
@@imthewholetrilogy1501addiction is hard. I struggle. We all do. And we all do things we don’t want todo. Because we are tested by other people who constantly pull you down and when your pulled down when your soba and judged constantly then relapse is always there because your being judged for it so some people give in and think why not. Then we regret it. It’s hard bro. Everyone should support each other we should all help each other and we can overcome. I just wish I had the support strength and encouragement but we just seem to get hated for nothing. How would you feel being hated for nothing ? Name called all the time. Judged for your past ? Everyday has enough problems bro and all we need todo it be there for each other and be kind. Drink and drugs ruin us it’s not good but every weekend the pubs are full. House parties the lot. Why ? May seem fun at the time but it’s not. All the body needs is food and water. Not saying oh stay of juice or pop. But to feel good and healthy it’s all it needs. But also mentally people should leave others alone either help and love one another or just stay away it’s simple. People ruin people bro. 👊🏼 and it’s sad. Hope all on here is well and okay. Stay strong.
I’ve been sober for almost 3 years. Your music helped me more than you know. I saw Jelly Roll in concert last year and I kid you not I’ve seen over 200 concerts and yours was the first one I have ever cried at. In 2021 I was listening to your music while I was out on a delivery and I came across this young woman who I thought at first was standing on a bridge that goes over a major highway just watching traffic but I soon realized she was on the other side of the guard rail looking for a moment to jump. I’ve never ripped my e-break so quickly in my whole life. I literally left my car in the middle of the road and I ran and put my arms around her and said “it’s not worth it”. I was able to convince her to come back over the railing to safety. If I hadn’t become sober I don’t think I would have even saw her so thank you for helping me become sober and helping me save someone’s life.
That girl saved you she was there for you . I wish I had a clear mind again I hate living this way always on I don't want to be that girl on the other side 😞
You saved each other. GOD bless you both 🙏
🙌 hallelujah
This is Joyner Lucas’s page not jelly rolls 😅
You go girl sometimes someone to talk to is that we need and we never know if it’s worth it until we have tried it some people suffer their entire lives not knowing what it’s like to be on the other side . Anything but the side they are on will do and if you and the sufferer recognize the suffering it would have been ok to give ‘em a push then it’s not Suicide but good for you And yes girl I cried the first time I seen Jelly Roll in flagstaff he played all the old songs great artist and performer !!
Reminds me of dad died at 52 Rip I miss u so much still watching over mom for u
This hits me so hard. Someone whose very close to me just lost someone very close to them over addiction. Not even a week ago.. I'm sure it wasn't easy making a song like that, but it's necessary. Thank you, guys, for using your voices to speak about such a difficult subject.
Bro is the goat at telling stories from 2 different perspectives
He's just the goat in general on music that actually means something
I can tell there's more to come, will be waiting for the day he responds when brother's perspective starts
Kendrick did this first. Joyner nice though.
@@BENWORKIN89 Kendrick doesn't even rival joyner in terms of content of music. Half his shit hes just yelling about being better than everyone else. I like Kendrick but joyner is on a different level
One of the best examples of this is his song “I’m Sorry.”
Two years clean, heavy alchoholic percocet and meth. My first child is due april 26th. Baby girl. I have my own house, cars, a killer support group and am almost off parole. Never thought id make it to seeing my life change for the better. Im on my way to everything ive ever hoped for.
That's frikkin awesome! I may be a stranger but I'm proud of you! Stay strong...& congrats on your baby girl, I hope it all goes well
Keep thriving!! Don’t let the past ever get to you 💯💯
Congratulations on all of that! It’s awesome to hear a success story. 🎊🎈🎉
As a recovered heroin addict that's been clean for fifteen years this song really hits because of all the people that i know that are still stuck in their ways.
Haven't teared up in years. I've been on both sides of addiction and both suck. But watching your hero destroy themselves and their family is worse.
I just celebrating 12 years clean after living 12 years in Kensington Philadelphia PA on heroin. 2 open heart valve transplants, stage 3 COPD, pacemaker and a shock vest, chronic congestive heart failure but I'm still here. I felt so alone and unwanted during my whole addiction.. I didn't lie, cheat or steal for drugs, I worked hard to get high. I came from a huge family, 12 aunts and uncles, 3 kids, 11 grandkids..but I am still ashamed of the time I lost with them and blame myself for all my health issues. Nobody ever said that to me but I just feel it everyday. So this song brought me to tears when I first heard it. Thank you for putting this song out. You have true emotions in-between the lyrics and that's what I feel listening to it. Jelly roll fits in the music well too. He is one of the greatest in my book and I'm now a fan of you also.stay safe, thank you for this song God Bless us ALL. 🙏💪& ✌️
Proud of u 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤💪🏽
It's a blessing you're alive!
💕
Keep strong 💪
WOW 12 years is such a beautiful thing to celebrate and to be able to say! What an accomplishment! I am so proud of you, keep pushing! Life is beautiful on the other end! 🩷
So damn powerful! Great message! Me and my wife celebrated 3 years clean March 3rd, we both come from family and parents of addiction. This song brought my wife to tears, it’s a great song with a powerful message.
If no one has told you, I'm proud of you.
Proud of yall. 💪🏼👏🏼🙌🏼
Congratulations that's amazing. Idk you but I'm sending love your way. Yall are doing an amazing job❤. -Silent Cheerleader
Happy Birthday to both of you! Keep coming back!
May GOD BLESS you and your family sir 💖💯
Remember it's never too late to save yourself, because only you can be the hero you need to save yourself, I lost five siblings,both parents,other family,tins of friends and here I sit with 11 years clean and I suffer from survivors guilt, PTSD, ADHD,but I stay clean for me so I can be the man my children and wife need,and if your suffering please reach out for help
This one hits hard !! I pray that anyone battling any addictions makes it out alive
This is for my mother (2016 🕊️) my brother (2019 🕊️) and my best friend (2021 🕊️) 💫 see you again
Bless, hope and much love to you further on ❤❤
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹✊🏽
Praying for you 🙏
I'm so so very sorry 😢 I lost my daughter in 2021 💔 🫂
My condolences to you and your family
”I hope you look in the mirror and see all the things I’ve been seeing in you“ ”If you don’t believe in yourself than you’ll never believe in somebody believing in you“ Joyner isn’t just a rapper he’s a poet… theirs levels to his music
A fkn Poet 🔥🔥🔥 no bs
That's one of my favorite lines if not my fav one. I can relate to it
Simp
KRino - Holla at me
This ENTIRE track KNOCK harder than Jehovah’s Witness. From the lyrics all the way to the beat and hook… SALUTE 🫡 to everyone involved because y’all definitely hit the mark with this one. 🔥🔥🔥
My husband has been in and out of treatment. He just completed 30 days yesterday. I’m praying this time he stays clean. We have a 25 year old and three year old together. He’s my soulmate and this song is so relatable.
Holy shit I’ve never felt a song so much in my soul before I’m a retired drug addict who was addicted to herion and meth for half my life and homeless for 4 years lost everything I had I even lost my right leg but with the help I got from my now wife I pulled myself out of that life and am now 5 years clean own a home now and have two beautiful daughters. If anyone else is struggling and happens to be reading this just stick with it things don’t change overnight but things will change for the better if you stay the course I’ll always be here to listen to anyone else that’s having a hard time getting through a bad time in life!
This shit brought me to tears thinking about the last time I said goodbye to my best friend who couldn't stay off of heroin. I had to distance myself, because if I didn't, I would likely go back to doing it myself. I stopped talking to him for two years and I found out he ultimately lost his battle at 25 years old. His face is still the background of my phone to this day. Hope Joyner's message reaches more people.
It's sad. They don't want to act that way. Nobody wants to act like a scumbag. If they don't want the help, they'll never get it. If you're strong enough to survive, you come out on the other side a f*cking BEAST. Spread LOVE no matter what! Thats what addicts need. Don't give up until you have to. For 2 years straight, I tried to save my best friend of 35 years from dying from alcoholism. I found him, dead. Sickening. At least I never gave up. And, for that, I can hold my head up high. Peace n' LOVE. Dow
Wow, my eyes welled up with tears, my heart felt like you had opened a locked chest holding the contents of what's left of the last threaded tie between my daughter and myself. I hope others take the time to absorb the words
I too lost a close friend of mine to drugs at 19, he's been the background of my phone for the past 12 years.
yo rip to your friend and all of the friends that we all lost to this shit.
This shit hits home for too many of us. Sorry about your friend but I'm also glad you made that choice and are still with us. 🙏🏼
8 years off heroin/fentanyl in February. I was medically dead from an overdose in 2015. After 3 intramuscular Narcan shots one medic wanted to "call it" but the other said no. Gave me a 4th and I came to. Obviously I was unconscious so how do I know what happened? My mom was in the other room. Spent 5 years roaming the streets of Kensington If I can do this so can anyone. You have captured the essence of addiction in a masterfully produced collaboration of exceptional artists. This deserves a Grammy and you both deserve the Medal of Honor for being brave enough to say what so many were scared to say. I have a feeling this was for DMX. Joyner God Bless you and your fallen friend and soldier. J Roll I'm sure the Lord is well pleased with his servant. You are very special
My mom is now 3 or 4 years sober after 2 hard years.. she finally just got off her probation period and got her nursing license back! I’m so proud of her and how far she has come!
Jelly Roll was the perfect person to feature on this song. I don't think people really realize that we are about to get the best Album of the Year so early in the year. Joyner deserves ALL of the recognition! 👏🔥💯
(Hey no hate cuz the nature of this song deserve only peace and love) but AOTY gonna be hard when about half the album already out…. In 2023
@@mjja4783 I hear what you're saying, but the album itself will be a 2024 release. Joyner even said this is a project that he's been working on for a couple years.
I ain't liking the auto tune tho. Bro got pipes would rather him sing it
@nikkichappi6744 Fr..they used way too much auto tune for him.
Nah The Fall Off by Cole is gonna be the best album of the last 25yrs
Joyner touching souls he don't even know about. How bro talks in both perspectives is so amazing. One of the best to ever do it👌🏽
have you listen to much joyner? honest question lol cuz if not i have some great suggestions youd love from Joyner, if you like this one
@@tristandenver3920 been listening to Joyner from when he used to do song covers. I appreciate though 👌🏽
Fix dock Souci so so
Me ready to leave after loving a addict for 9 years. I'm loosing the fight that I can never win. Something I'll never understand. All I can do is pray on it as I know I'm beyond exhausted and depleted. This song speaks to my soul. 💜💚
Joyner Lucas will definitely become a movie director in the future 😉
I pray for my sister’s sobriety everyday but they put into words that I never could. God please protect & guide her.
I understand 🙏 my sister is struggling with addiction also, I worry about her everyday 😢
I'll be praying for her as well.
🙏🏾🙏🏾
Came out of rehab today and it’s no coincidence this song came out two days ago!! Im def taking it as a message, im proud to be clean and still here. I wouldn’t wish addiction on my worst enemy. God bless anybody who reads this and to anyone struggling with addiction life can get a lot better I promise you!!! Stay strong 💪🏿… Btw I wish Eminem and jelly roll did a song🔥👍😄
Not jellyroll but Eminem and yellawf have music ❤
they do, it's called church.
go listen to my music and lmk what you think please
Congrats man it’s gonna be a battle but you got this man 🙏
Joyner is getting better and better with every song he puts out. He knows how to address issues that people go through.
I'm 131 days sober today. I thank God for being patient with me and not taking away all I love during that time I was down.
This song hits. As a former Crack Addict i was addicted for almost 10 years. To everyone with an addiction find God and go to church. My first day back to church God came to me and said its ok and believe in him. Now ive been 3 months clean and so thankful.#AllGlory2God.
My mom does crack “occasionally” shit hits me hard bc I never thought I’d have to go through something like this, just like everyone else
Congratulations ❤
You can do whatever you want just believe in yourself wake up every day being thankful you don’t have that addiction anymore and your life is in a better place
Proud of you 🙌
You don't need God just find yourself.. 😊
INCREDIBLE!!! I’m 5 years sober, lost my freedom for years & lost my whole family due to MY addiction, they had to distance themselves from me. I hope one day, they will see I have truly recovered. I resonate with this so much, it’s truly touching.
Best wishes to you! 🙏🏿
Team 5 years!! 1/28/2019! We do this together!
Damn this song hit hard. Made me miss my brother who chose to get closer when I chose to get sober.. I pray to God one day he'll see the truth
