Hey guys, I'm a 16 year old rapper. I would appreciate it immensely if you could take a second to a song I made about addiction. ua-cam.com/video/j8JlH_ba4kE/v-deo.html&ab_channel=Dragon-MusicHk Thanks and stay clean!
You will get back to that place don’t give up, take it one day at a time change is possible for anyone thats what makes life so great any one of us can decide to change an then make it happen. Now offcorse it don’t happen overnight and it’s never easy at first but you can do jt
2 years of recovery, after 8 years of drug abuse, used to listen to this song while i was so high almost overdosed few times, i relate to every word of this song.. i dnt knw how i feel right now listening to this song again. Im glad im out of this drug cycle i was stuck in To any drug addict out there hang on it gets better i hope u find peace💜
I was just discussing chasing the high the other day with my fiancé. Seemed like that’s all we (my friends and I)did back then. It always warms my heart to see people in recovery. Hurt it to see people still in their addictions. Bless all of you! We are glad to have you in the world still.
When I was younger I didn’t understand this song I was just singing it but now that I’m older I realized this song is deep asf 😳💕 Wayne’s the fucking 🐐
Never thought id see a comment like this just but frr i actually first heard this song from a playlist my mother made amd it makes alot of sense now it hurts a bit (shes no longer living)
I remember coming back from a festival so far gone on acid, coke, and bud, sitting in my friends back seat of her car and this song came on. I’ll never forget the most amazing yet anxiety ridden feeling this song gave me! I felt like everything he was saying was really happening lol. I used to get so stoned, lay on my bed in the dark and just play this song on repeat. 🤣
I've got a a month clean from H...this song is exactly I how I felt 3 weeks ago 🙏🏻 Don't ever get into it that shit because getting out is a slim chance. Be safe be cool everyone. Peace from NY.
I got involved with hard drugs back in 2016 and it has only been a hellish roller coaster since then. I think this song hits harder when you know your mind has been so broken from drugs and the world and dimensions that it is tethered to that you no longer function in every-day society like a normal human being anymore. You're labeled as either an ill schizophrenic, or a batshit crazy druggie. But it really hurts being separated from what used to be known as "normalcy". It's frightening, and exasperating, and you have no choice but to feel desperate. At times I truly 'feel like dying' but I don't wanna lose my soul to the devil, so I keep myself alive and still going through the strife.
Your writing quality and understanding of grammar- already puts you 75% above the normative US population. I'd say chill and everything in moderation is the golden rule- drugs or not.
This song will never get old. As long as medication and drugs exsist. We will forever stay high and feel the side effects of withdrawls. This song will always hit hard.
2023. Had to come back to this. The way music can have such an impact. There’s a song for every feeling anybody can feel. Keep your head up if you feel like you’ve hit rock bottom.
I couldn't agree more. It hits different 10 years later. While I was listening to it I was transported back 10 years. Crazy how far we have come and how at one point we never thought we would make it this far. Keep your head up we are all in this together.
Sharahni ClArke would it change your mind about this song if I told you lil Wayne sold his soul to the devil for rich and fame and the devil possessed him to write this song
If you don't understand this song it's pretty much about being on drugs high and then coming down, drugs are gone, you go through withdrawals and you feel like dying. When I was younger I liked this song and the beat. Thought it was weird but cool. Now that I been through an addiction of pain killers, got sober and I listen to this song, I really understand it now.
True, could be that and a mixture of running away from problems that he can't escape in his real life at that time. The one's he can't control. I like this song for that reason and for the same reason you do.
Priscilla P. I gotta quit the pills all over again this shit sucks fucking balls. I've never been sober for long....Fuck congrats for your recovery btw
My oldest son would listen to this often. Whenever I get dark and have to depend on drugs to cope all I can think of is this song.... I truly feel like dying!
I do too bro for real family betrayal brothers dad twin brother cuzzins baby momma trying to keep it the family every body that came around me had affair they never love me 😭 😢
Yea dudes definitely a legend, i remember my teacher back in 2012 was like , how the hell lil wayne make platnum , i waz like u don't like lil wayne 😕 ..... Hes really good, he was like .... Smh ..... and the topic ended lol
I was a young man when I first heard this song and loved it then. Now as an older man, reading the lyrics, being able to relate the feeing of coming down from a high, this song hits much harder.
I just listened to this song again and the lyrics freaked me out- it got too real I guess. I used to listen to this song years ago when I was enslaved to drugs and debauchery. He's right when he says you are a prisoner locked up behind xanax bars. I am so thankful I do not have to wake up and think about how I am going to get high that day. It's funny how alive I feel now that the drugs are gone, yet I felt like dying when I was on them. My life is free today and I found that freedom through Jesus Christ when I was in jail for selling drugs. I hope you have a blessed day and find true freedom and peace. Much love, Flower Kate.
I grew up in dysfunction and I learned I could get away with being bad at a young age (I was the youngest of 6 kids and got away with murder). I suffered various kinds of abuse from different people, had an eating disorder, was kidnapped and had my first taste of alcohol all while in elementary school. I drank for the first time at 8 years old. I snuck a bottle out of my brother's party to see what all the hype was about. I liked the warm feeling and felt cool. I wasn't getting wasted then, but tried to have it whenever it came around. I got really drunk in 6th grade for the first time and loved it. I went through serious struggles with self injury, depression, mood instability and tried to kill myself. I was hospitalized a bunch of times and never felt like I belonged or fit in anywhere except with the "bad crowd". I started experimenting with pills at 14, and went through a slew of unhealthy and some abusive relationships for the years to come. I never thought I would do other drugs, I was so against it. I even broke up with an ex when I found out he sold pot...then the day came when I started using other drugs. I was on a path of self-destruction and running from myself any way I could. My life went severely downhill in about 2 years' time. I saw and experienced things throughout my life until this time that no one should have to go through. I became a totally different person, void of dreams or personality. I was like a caged animal looking for the next one and ready to attack if necessary. I was crude, vindictive, and started selling drugs to support my habit and make fast cash. I wore resentments like a 100lb backpack to fuel the things I did. I worshiped myself even though I hated myself. I tried to fill my life with lust, drugs, expensive things and "street cred" that did nothing for me. Sure these things took the edge off, but sooner or later I was empty again. I did other shameful things for money that I never thought I would do... basically all my "I nevers" became realities. I hated myself, hated the loser I had become and hated the relationship I was in. I knew something needed to change and I remember thinking that something had to give. I didn't care how things would change, but I needed a change or I was going to die. Little did I know, I would be arrested a few days later on selling and weapons charges in a friend's garage (that's basically where I was living). I was about to turn 20 and had a realization that I did virtually everything I wanted to do for that many years and it only got me in trouble; not only that, but I was miserable. I was tired of running. I did not believe in snitching, so I was prepared to do the time. I realized I was going to walk out of jail years later with nothing to show for myself. I was in the gifted program at school, and here I am, a high school drop out that looks like a skeleton of herself, wearing a jumpsuit. My family was ashamed of me and rightly so. My Mother had some hope and randomly found the Life Abundant Ministry that works with inmates in Bucks County. I was not religious at all and wanted nothing to do with God. I had one brother that was a Christian and I thought that was cool for him, but I felt the rest were hypocrites. I thought I wouldn't be able to have fun or party while being a Christian. My Mom was pretty clueless to what Life Abundant did, but gave them a call anyway. It usually takes months to get a mentor through their program and I was able to meet with the director in less than a week. I had no idea what to expect, I thought I had to pretend to be "good" so she wouldn't know what I was really life. I could not understand why this 64 year old woman would come in and sit with scum like me for free. I never read the Bible or anything and did not understand that Jesus is God. She explained to me that while everyone is guilty of screwing up and falling short of God's standards, that God loved us so much that he made a way for us to be forgiven. He sent his own son Jesus to repair our relationship with God by keeping every one of his standards. He loved perfectly and died as a sacrifice on our behalf, and and was raised back to life as the scriptures promised. She told me that if I was willing to accept Christ's sacrifice on my behalf, that God would forgive me and see me perfectly, just as he sees Jesus. I could not believe it. I was cold hearted and could not understand why God desired a relationship with me and was willing to die for me when I wouldn't even die for the kind of person I was. I'm not trying to get religious on you, I'm just explaining the profound realization of his love that rocked my heart. It literally melted a heart of stone. I did not see lightening or anything and I was not entirely sure if I believed what she said, but I agreed to take the Bible she gave and I met with a mentor the next week. I was very skeptical of the Bible, but figured I wouldn't take others' word for it, I would investigate it myself...I mean I didn't have much else going on during the day lol. I still thought I was going to lie at trial, but I knew I could not go back to selling upon being released. I got to a place where I did not care if I was going to be away for years because I was free spiritually. I had joy and a big smile, I never was like that before. People could not understand how I could be so positive considering everything I had going on. I kept reading the Bible, and even if I was skeptical of a passage or needed clarification, I felt like I had to keep reading it and this challenged me to be open-minded. That's really what changed my life, once I got to see how radically Jesus loved people in the Gospels, ( a kind of love I never experienced from men or 'friends') I wanted to follow him. To love people that have wronged me was not easy, and it's still not easy, but I am called to surrender my rights to bitterness because Jesus did. I cannot poison myself or other people by selling drugs or act out in violence anymore. I mean I could, but it would be of no benefit. It was like I was given new desires that I never had before, and that's a promise he gives. I do not feel like dying anymore, I feel like living life to its fullest and I am capable of doing that now through new life. I am involved in recovery as well. What I used to think made me alive was killing me. I did not know a better way, I thought I was destined to have a black cloud looming over me and I hated happy people. I wish someone would have shared this with me when I was struggling, to plant a seed...but looking back on it, I was not ready for it. I had to be broken before I could be ready. I have lost so many friends to the disease of addiction, and I actually lost an old friend last night. It is fresh on my mind, so I felt like writing this. I hate addiction, I want to destroy it the same way its destroyed the lives of those I care about. It is a bunch of lies feeding your head, and I just want to share the truth. I want to share that there is a way out and that no one is too far gone, no matter what they have done or for how long they have done it. I've been clean since I got arrested on July 3, 2009 and it has not been easy. I have dealt with major losses, trauma, health issues and transitions but with God, I have been able to stay clean through it. I am a much fuller and exciting person today and I actually like who I am. I wear a flower in my hair everyday to bring beauty and joy to a world full of darkness. I have been able to travel to various continents on mission trips and get more perspective on life. I have developed hobbies and made awesome friendships. I have danced to various kinds of music at shows and have gotten into some pretty exciting adventures with friends. I have more fun now than I ever did using. I want nothing more than for people to have this freedom, love and peace that found me. I am not here to push anything on anyone, and I apologize if you perceive it this way, I am just sharing my story. We all have stories and they are powerful. I would love to hear your story sometime. Much love, Flower Kaitlin
Classic Wayne, miss this Wayne. This song 10 years ago helped get off certain drugs because what if I did die from them? My family wouldn’t be able to bare it. Thanks Wayne 🙏 2019 and I still make sure to listen to this song every once in awhile
Yep it all floods in. Years and years and years of numbing everything, it adds up. Then if you get sober, well, 6 years of not feeling anything, now you feel ALL OF IT. At ONCE. and YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO COPE BECAUSE YOU DONT HAVE THE DRUGS ANYMORE 😭
Hey guys, I'm a 16 year old rapper. I would appreciate it immensely if you could take a second to a song I made about addiction. ua-cam.com/video/j8JlH_ba4kE/v-deo.html&ab_channel=Dragon-MusicHk Thanks and stay clean!
Being sick with kidney failure since I was 2 and being on dialysis now. I totally feel this song. Even as a kid this song hit different. I’m trying to hang on 😪
My Uncle Jeremy used to blast this in his car when I was little, and I finally found it. I love this song so much, and I miss my Uncle too, because he moved to North Dakota about 6-7 years ago, and I haven't seen him and actually talked to him in a while. This song reminds me of him, so I'm happy I finally found it! ^_^
After beating an addiction to Percocet I really feel this shit , if anyone of u or a loved one is going thru addiction there is hope , u are a warrior Nd u can beat it 🙏❤️
Started using drugs at age 12 lost myself for a while but, found myself as soon as I went to jail did my time and I can still feel that hit running through my viens nose etc. Trying to maintain my head high without looking back! One love too the people trying to recover just like me.
Fuck "only once the drugs are done, that i feel like dying" i said those words to my late brother without having any knowledge about this song. Years later after my brother's death, that i discover his ipod and find this song. I am unsure how i feel atm, so many memories have come back. I guess im thankful to discover this song, which include the last words i set to my brother. Thank you
I take 4 mg a day of Xanax not because I want to because if I don’t I’ll get sick I’m start to panic go into withdrawal and get very paranoid so I relate
When life hurts so bad.. no matter what u go thru I hope u are loved. I go Thur this pain hard today. Hope everyone listening has a reason to stay above it
I relate. I used to listen to this song in 9th grade (I think? Maybe 8th) current 24 and has been dependent on xanax, pain killers of any type, h, muscle relaxers, fuck ANYTHING that will give me a buzz for the last 4 years. I haven't gone more than 4 days sober in these 4 years, I'm starting to scare myself..
Hey Sasorah, I feel you. I’ve been depressed and off and on suicidal since I was 12. People always said it would get better after high school and I feel like it’s only gotten worse. Anyways, I’m 21 and a black woman too. I don’t have any friends and I don’t see a lot of other black women with depression so If you want a friend, reply back
Man I remember jammin this shit when it first came out years ago in high school. Still hits as hard sound wise and lyrically wise as it did back then. Still one of his best in my opinion.
+Sands you don't know ur ass from a hole in the ground till your 40. I'm 32 and seen more than most 80 year old men. Let me tell u something bro. When u think u know something u don't. Someone u know u don't. Live without food or electricity water whatever. Then u know. Spend 1400 in one day on Coke then u know something. Lose 100 jobs trying to feed your family. Look at your parents face as they lost everything they ever worked for. Then u might know. This just some of what u might not know. It's comes with years. And your 19. That's not shit homie. U will see what I'm saying. As u get older. You see shit in hole new world. What u thought is not.
By that time he had been a household name for like 10 years already. 🤦🏾♂️ just because you just discovered doesn't mean he wasnt big around that time.
3 years no bars, I still can feel the pain I had when I was a prisoner lock up behind Xanax bars, nothing but respect for this song. Will always come back to this song to remind myself where I come from 💯
Thank you for all the good comments I’ve been feeling like dying lately and this song always brings me peace even for a brief moment... we are all together in This cured world trying to find the light
Yay foe I came across this song from my boyfriend's playlist .. He's no more, he commuted suicide 3 years back.. ... I request you to get treatment, or someone to talk, plss dont loose hope
This song gives me the chills now that I’m 3.5 years clean and sober, because... fuck, just that loop of what she is saying relates so hard on how it feels when your whole life is controlled by drugs. I used to listen to this in high school thinking I was the man, then I kept getting deeper and into heavier shit and it stopped being fun and I felt like dying.
Remember burnin an L with boys listening to this, not fully understanding what hes talking about.... fast foward 15 or so years, I am now fully aware of what he saying due to the constant drug addiction that consumed me, no matter the drug, as long as it was a drug, I abused it, all of it. Currently in withdrawal right now, planning my next fix.... Party to this song responsibly, dont let it be about you someday...
Its been decades now, lost so many friends to drugs o.d and i feel like dying now more than ever to be in heaven with my homies again "I AM A PRISONER LOCKED BEHIND XANAX BARS"....IM BEGGING TO BE SET FREE 🙏
The people talking bad about this song are the ones who cannot relate to it. You basically have to be an active or recovering addict of any drug to feel this song.
Damn, I really came here just cause I used to listen to this song back in the day, but I see a lot of people came here for an even darker reason. Guys...come on...life is shitty. Life is difficult that’s why people even turn to drugs..it masks the hurt..the pain...it becomes your whole world. But the real lyrics should be...only once the drugs are done..I’m finally back to living ..every single one of your lives are precious more than you even can comprehend ...you’re not a prisoner locked behind Xanax bars...you’re a prisoner of your own mind. Beat the addictions...overcome life’s obstacles ..and live long and healthy.
We are all prisoners of our own perception of reality and what comes with it, sometimes you just grow tired of trying to apply this kind of ''mantra'', ''positive outlook''.Darkness is darkness my guy 😘
@@dreezyog7678 i feel that way alot cuz I'm a pill popper, you don't wanna be upset with the world. Let the world be upset with you cuz you be you. Find the little shit fam. You straight, I feel this all the time, I promise everything's chill. I hope you feel better and good luck🙏
Honestly I think the reason it isn’t one of his most popular is because I think for whatever reason I think he regrets writing this song if you look it up he was interviewed about this song and said he was in a real dark place and I think it brings back negative emotions for him that’s why it’s kinda hard to actually get this song idk about other platforms but Apple Music doesn’t have this song I think pandora plus does and obviously UA-cam but I’m not sure on other platforms idk just my two cents
This gotta be the dopest cry for help ever.

Kaitlin Bangert what made you stop?
I grew up in dysfunction and I learned I could get away with being bad at a young age (I was the youngest of 6 kids and got away with murder). I suffered various kinds of abuse from different people, had an eating disorder, was kidnapped and had my first taste of alcohol all while in elementary school. I drank for the first time at 8 years old. I snuck a bottle out of my brother's party to see what all the hype was about. I liked the warm feeling and felt cool. I wasn't getting wasted then, but tried to have it whenever it came around. I got really drunk in 6th grade for the first time and loved it. I went through serious struggles with self injury, depression, mood instability and tried to kill myself. I was hospitalized a bunch of times and never felt like I belonged or fit in anywhere except with the "bad crowd". I started experimenting with pills at 14, and went through a slew of unhealthy and some abusive relationships for the years to come. I never thought I would do other drugs, I was so against it. I even broke up with an ex when I found out he sold pot...then the day came when I started using other drugs. I was on a path of self-destruction and running from myself any way I could. My life went severely downhill in about 2 years' time. I saw and experienced things throughout my life until this time that no one should have to go through. I became a totally different person, void of dreams or personality. I was like a caged animal looking for the next one and ready to attack if necessary. I was crude, vindictive, and started selling drugs to support my habit and make fast cash. I wore resentments like a 100lb backpack to fuel the things I did. I worshiped myself even though I hated myself. I tried to fill my life with lust, drugs, expensive things and "street cred" that did nothing for me. Sure these things took the edge off, but sooner or later I was empty again. I did other shameful things for money that I never thought I would do... basically all my "I nevers" became realities. I hated myself, hated the loser I had become and hated the relationship I was in. I knew something needed to change and I remember thinking that something had to give. I didn't care how things would change, but I needed a change or I was going to die. Little did I know, I would be arrested a few days later on selling and weapons charges in a friend's garage (that's basically where I was living). I was about to turn 20 and had a realization that I did virtually everything I wanted to do for that many years and it only got me in trouble; not only that, but I was miserable. I was tired of running. I did not believe in snitching, so I was prepared to do the time. I realized I was going to walk out of jail years later with nothing to show for myself. I was in the gifted program at school, and here I am, a high school drop out that looks like a skeleton of herself, wearing a jumpsuit. My family was ashamed of me and rightly so. My Mother had some hope and randomly found the Life Abundant Ministry that works with inmates in Bucks County. I was not religious at all and wanted nothing to do with God. I had one brother that was a Christian and I thought that was cool for him, but I felt the rest were hypocrites. I thought I wouldn't be able to have fun or party while being a Christian. My Mom was pretty clueless to what Life Abundant did, but gave them a call anyway. It usually takes months to get a mentor through their program and I was able to meet with the director in less than a week. I had no idea what to expect, I thought I had to pretend to be "good" so she wouldn't know what I was really life. I could not understand why this 64 year old woman would come in and sit with scum like me for free. I never read the Bible or anything and did not understand that Jesus is God. She explained to me that while everyone is guilty of screwing up and falling short of God's standards, that God loved us so much that he made a way for us to be forgiven. He sent his own son Jesus to repair our relationship with God by keeping every one of his standards. He loved perfectly and died as a sacrifice on our behalf, and and was raised back to life as the scriptures promised. She told me that if I was willing to accept Christ's sacrifice on my behalf, that God would forgive me and see me perfectly, just as he sees Jesus. I could not believe it. I was cold hearted and could not understand why God desired a relationship with me and was willing to die for me when I wouldn't even die for the kind of person I was. I'm not trying to get religious on you, I'm just explaining the profound realization of his love that rocked my heart. It literally melted a heart of stone. I did not see lightening or anything and I was not entirely sure if I believed what she said, but I agreed to take the Bible she gave and I met with a mentor the next week. I was very skeptical of the Bible, but figured I wouldn't take others' word for it, I would investigate it myself...I mean I didn't have much else going on during the day lol. I still thought I was going to lie at trial, but I knew I could not go back to selling upon being released. I got to a place where I did not care if I was going to be away for years because I was free spiritually. I had joy and a big smile, I never was like that before. People could not understand how I could be so positive considering everything I had going on. I kept reading the Bible, and even if I was skeptical of a passage or needed clarification, I felt like I had to keep reading it and this challenged me to be open-minded. That's really what changed my life, once I got to see how radically Jesus loved people in the Gospels, ( a kind of love I never experienced from men or 'friends') I wanted to follow him. To love people that have wronged me was not easy, and it's still not easy, but I am called to surrender my rights to bitterness because Jesus did. I cannot poison myself or other people by selling drugs or act out in violence anymore. I mean I could, but it would be of no benefit. It was like I was given new desires that I never had before, and that's a promise he gives. I do not feel like dying anymore, I feel like living life to its fullest and I am capable of doing that now through new life. I am involved in recovery as well. What I used to think made me alive was killing me. I did not know a better way, I thought I was destined to have a black cloud looming over me and I hated happy people. I wish someone would have shared this with me when I was struggling, to plant a seed...but looking back on it, I was not ready for it. I had to be broken before I could be ready. I have lost so many friends to the disease of addiction, and I actually lost an old friend last night. It is fresh on my mind, so I felt like writing this. I hate addiction, I want to destroy it the same way its destroyed the lives of those I care about. It is a bunch of lies feeding your head, and I just want to share the truth. I want to share that there is a way out and that no one is too far gone, no matter what they have done or for how long they have done it. I've been clean since I got arrested on July 3, 2009 and it has not been easy. I have dealt with major losses, trauma, health issues and transitions but with God, I have been able to stay clean through it. I am a much fuller and exciting person today and I actually like who I am. I wear a flower in my hair everyday to bring beauty and joy to a world full of darkness. I have been able to travel to various continents on mission trips and get more perspective on life. I have developed hobbies and made awesome friendships. I have danced to various kinds of music at shows and have gotten into some pretty exciting adventures with friends. I have more fun now than I ever did using. I want nothing more than for people to have this freedom, love and peace that found me. I am not here to push anything on anyone, and I apologize if you perceive it this way, I am just sharing my story. We all have stories and they are powerful. I would love to hear your story sometime.
Much love,
Flower Kaitlin
Who is still listening in 2021?!
You
Mee
You know it
I'll never stop
Its 2019 and i'm still going strong
One of my favorites. “I can play basketball with the moon, I got the whole world at my feet” ❤❤
People wanna say Wayne is garbage, but he has CLASSICS.. Bring back Weezy
Supa 4ys yes sir . Goat

wetballer24 you right . He already did his thing . He is not overrated
Curtis Benoit ya father time is undefeated his prime came and went just the way it is
wetballer24 I'm having trouble with the time as well . We flyin by time
Classic Wayne, miss this Wayne. This song 10 years ago helped get off certain drugs because what if I did die from them? My family wouldn’t be able to bare it.
Thanks Wayne 🙏
2019 and I still make sure to listen to this song every once in awhile
you have a family that cares ? More rare than u think
This is just something else... Incredible.
I really feel like dying .. drugs help numb the pain but it’s only temporary then shitty reality comes back
Yep it all floods in. Years and years and years of numbing everything, it adds up. Then if you get sober, well, 6 years of not feeling anything, now you feel ALL OF IT. At ONCE. and YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO COPE BECAUSE YOU DONT HAVE THE DRUGS ANYMORE 😭
I can relate @ times sweetie.
Get help
You look like what Eminem would look like if he was Asian lol
Hey guys, I'm a 16 year old rapper. I would appreciate it immensely if you could take a second to a song I made about addiction.
ua-cam.com/video/j8JlH_ba4kE/v-deo.html&ab_channel=Dragon-MusicHk
Thanks and stay clean!
2022 and the song still hits…❤️🔥
Now 2023 and still hits ❤
2023 still a masterpiece
everybody who got a drug habit feels this hard
So many of us have a drug habit now.
True shit
😁👌that codeines a beautiful bitch
Sorry, no such thing as addiction.
@@Kordon87 sorry, you're an ignorant fuck
Being sick with kidney failure since I was 2 and being on dialysis now. I totally feel this song. Even as a kid this song hit different. I’m trying to hang on 😪
How are u ❤
@@MsRachelOhhhe’s desd
And 12 years later here i am going through it again. Wayne's songs have never let me be alone❤
My Uncle Jeremy used to blast this in his car when I was little, and I finally found it. I love this song so much, and I miss my Uncle too, because he moved to North Dakota about 6-7 years ago, and I haven't seen him and actually talked to him in a while. This song reminds me of him, so I'm happy I finally found it! ^_^
After beating an addiction to Percocet I really feel this shit , if anyone of u or a loved one is going thru addiction there is hope , u are a warrior Nd u can beat it 🙏❤️
Preach Wayne. Drugs make me want to live. When they are gone I just want to put a silver bullet in my heart.
As a recovering heroin addict...i definitely relate and Come back to the song to always remind myself of how I felt whenever I didn't have it
The beat is almost as addictive as the drugs that are talked about
Super addictive
Bro I swear the beat is perfect
Alan Cantu frrrrr
True shit
That's the irony of it.
This song hits home hard. This song has got me through some really bad times in my life. Head up everyone. ✌ ✌ 1:23
Remember being a kid hearing this song & relating to every word . Some things never change
I can honestly say this is my favorite Lil Wayne song. ❤
When I was younger this song scared me
SpaceisnotAlone omg same
Same!!!!
SpaceisnotAlone me to🤕🤕🤕
Got me thinking about my dad. Rip lifes never been the same since.
Been clean for 6 years and this songs still hits the soul every time.
Sober since 2018. Thank God. I used to listen to this song when I was deep into my addiction
Started using drugs at age 12 lost myself for a while but, found myself as soon as I went to jail did my time and I can still feel that hit running through my viens nose etc. Trying to maintain my head high without looking back! One love too the people trying to recover just like me.
Keep ur head up king
Every time I ever get clean this is on repeat. Every time I feel this song deeper. It’s a progressive illness. Never gets better
Fuck "only once the drugs are done, that i feel like dying" i said those words to my late brother without having any knowledge about this song. Years later after my brother's death, that i discover his ipod and find this song. I am unsure how i feel atm, so many memories have come back. I guess im thankful to discover this song, which include the last words i set to my brother. Thank you
Shivam Sharma dont shoot....ever....get some willpower....there's a balance
rip
srry for your loss
I'd like to call bullshit on this...
nigga shut up.
Song so old but very relevant for me in 2019 smh🤦🤦
Sameee
2020 for me
2o2o for me
I can mingle with the stars, and throw a party on Mars, i am a prisoner locked behind Xanax bars
Way before the epidemic
Bars
Damn...
I take 4 mg a day of Xanax not because I want to because if I don’t I’ll get sick I’m start to panic go into withdrawal and get very paranoid so I relate
Dope part
This song hits hard. God knows how many timesI heard it after a coke binge on the comdown doing heroin
Damn.. this song is dark as hell.
Jade Griffith Yup, it’s reality for many. Art is amazing.
Well it is called "I feel like dying"
@@DeeFeatslmao you gotta point
Jade Griffith gun smoke season 4 to10
One of my favorites he has done.
This song is old but I can relate to it personally and with watching my family. Definitely hits home.
When life hurts so bad.. no matter what u go thru I hope u are loved. I go Thur this pain hard today. Hope everyone listening has a reason to stay above it
Let's be honest, we all know this song is just raw and always worth a listen
This song made me almost overdose.. I was in a very dark place in life... music saved my life. The only thing I ever had to look for in life..
Are you alright???
I relate. I used to listen to this song in 9th grade (I think? Maybe 8th) current 24 and has been dependent on xanax, pain killers of any type, h, muscle relaxers, fuck ANYTHING that will give me a buzz for the last 4 years. I haven't gone more than 4 days sober in these 4 years, I'm starting to scare myself..
You made you almost overdose the song just helped.
Olivia Olives been going thru the same smh reply if you see this sigh
This dude has barely taken the recommended dose of robotussin, pssh talking about overdosing
😢 I’ve felt this way for years, I don’t think I’ll ever stop feeling this way
You were made to fight on.
In you, you have generations upon generations of ancestry bloodline to create you. Don't waste it hun. 😘
@@Javier20104 thank you so much
Hey Sasorah, I feel you. I’ve been depressed and off and on suicidal since I was 12. People always said it would get better after high school and I feel like it’s only gotten worse. Anyways, I’m 21 and a black woman too. I don’t have any friends and I don’t see a lot of other black women with depression so If you want a friend, reply back
@@katnicole7274 you have Snapchat? Or Instagram? I have room for friends too. Respectively.
Man once you are at your last bump at 3 am hoping the plug is still up
A timeless and metaphysical masterpiece
Man I remember jammin this shit when it first came out years ago in high school. Still hits as hard sound wise and lyrically wise as it did back then. Still one of his best in my opinion.
When u singing a song for years then u realize what u was really singing,,
+Sands
wait till you get older homie, you might relate to these lyrics more than you'd ever understand right now.
Fr
+Sands you don't know ur ass from a hole in the ground till your 40. I'm 32 and seen more than most 80 year old men. Let me tell u something bro. When u think u know something u don't. Someone u know u don't. Live without food or electricity water whatever. Then u know. Spend 1400 in one day on Coke then u know something. Lose 100 jobs trying to feed your family. Look at your parents face as they lost everything they ever worked for. Then u might know. This just some of what u might not know. It's comes with years. And your 19. That's not shit homie. U will see what I'm saying. As u get older. You see shit in hole new world. What u thought is not.
+Sands I know bro. I was just saying.
For years I knew what I was singing..........not just about drugs just life period sometimes people can relate
Brother ODed last year on fentanyl, he was an addict for a long time and he showed me this song when I was a kid. Love you man
exactly, who was there is 07'. I remember downloading this song off Limewire before Lil'Wayne was a household name.
By that time he had been a household name for like 10 years already. 🤦🏾♂️ just because you just discovered doesn't mean he wasnt big around that time.
I guess Cash Money Records NEVER took ova for the 99 and 2000s
Someone doesn't know what they are talking about. The carter II dropped in 2005 and that album put him on the map
Yeah... Looking back at your comment , 07 wasnt even that 2000s , early to 2005 was when the 2000s were really 2000s
Joseph hendrick lol. Lil Wayne has always been a household name.
Am I the only one who just digs the song and doesn’t want to die? Yeah? Okay..........
iiAM DASHURiiA rightt😂 I remember this song when I was little lol and it was all too lit 🔥
LMFAOH 😂🤣💯
lol perhaps
@Layla Forrest LMFAOH
That’s proper. Good mentality
I thought this song hit a nerve back when I was younger but god damn now that I’m 30 it hits that nerve 10fold
When I hear this song I don't feel like dying, I feel like living.
What the hip hop industry music is based on today but was an anomaly then.. Lil Weezy the Goat
Drug use suicide a masterpiece
3 years no bars, I still can feel the pain I had when I was a prisoner lock up behind Xanax bars, nothing but respect for this song. Will always come back to this song to remind myself where I come from 💯
14 years of addiction. So glad I'm sober
Nice! That's amazing, hope you're still doing well
This man really is the king of words !
Thank you for all the good comments I’ve been feeling like dying lately and this song always brings me peace even for a brief moment... we are all together in This cured world trying to find the light
Yay foe I came across this song from my boyfriend's playlist .. He's no more, he commuted suicide 3 years back..
... I request you to get treatment, or someone to talk, plss dont loose hope
@@shalinigaikwad3565 sorry to hear that.
This song gives me the chills now that I’m 3.5 years clean and sober, because... fuck, just that loop of what she is saying relates so hard on how it feels when your whole life is controlled by drugs. I used to listen to this in high school thinking I was the man, then I kept getting deeper and into heavier shit and it stopped being fun and I felt like dying.
George Thompson you’ve come a long way
R.I.P Limewire
Song hitting different 🥹
Remember burnin an L with boys listening to this, not fully understanding what hes talking about.... fast foward 15 or so years, I am now fully aware of what he saying due to the constant drug addiction that consumed me, no matter the drug, as long as it was a drug, I abused it, all of it. Currently in withdrawal right now, planning my next fix.... Party to this song responsibly, dont let it be about you someday...
@AntiCringe Ironically, I have played it before, during those times.
@AntiCringe backwards?
Its been decades now, lost so many friends to drugs o.d and i feel like dying now more than ever to be in heaven with my homies again "I AM A PRISONER LOCKED BEHIND XANAX BARS"....IM BEGGING TO BE SET FREE 🙏
Suicideboys made me come back to this song
I cant do this life anymore. Im goad this song is still around ❤️
high school 2007 memories
it was released in june 2008
JXO lovee no lie
Same. High school memories. Back when I was a dumb kid and was abusing cough syrup. I’m lucky I didn’t OD. Thank god.
@@tommytawk5408 lol
@@tommytawk5408 it leaked before that. Heard this in fall 07
I want this to be played on my funeral
Mine two!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The people talking bad about this song are the ones who cannot relate to it. You basically have to be an active or recovering addict of any drug to feel this song.
So true
real shit
Yessir, nailed it
And Weed doesnt count
+96jnb I'm not an active or recovering addict and I never have been, but I still feel the song bruh.
2022 and a timeless classic for all generations.
We all feel like dying at some point.
Weezy goat
Drugs were holding me when no one else was... now without them, I feel like dying..
2021 here... still a banger! And pretty reflective of the times...
Damn, I really came here just cause I used to listen to this song back in the day, but I see a lot of people came here for an even darker reason. Guys...come on...life is shitty. Life is difficult that’s why people even turn to drugs..it masks the hurt..the pain...it becomes your whole world. But the real lyrics should be...only once the drugs are done..I’m finally back to living ..every single one of your lives are precious more than you even can comprehend ...you’re not a prisoner locked behind Xanax bars...you’re a prisoner of your own mind. Beat the addictions...overcome life’s obstacles ..and live long and healthy.
its not that easy
damn i’m cured thanks man!
You wouldnt understand unless you were addicted once
@@briankreller6550 He won't, but this dude is smart enough to not allow himself to fall into that pit...
We are all prisoners of our own perception of reality and what comes with it, sometimes you just grow tired of trying to apply this kind of ''mantra'', ''positive outlook''.Darkness is darkness my guy 😘
This song brought tears to my eyes... 2023 when I'm a grown as man
Who's sick and feel like dying in 2020? Just me? Ight then
CasperTheDopestGhostInTown I’m sick for of the world and I feel like dying): .
@@dreezyog7678 i feel that way alot cuz I'm a pill popper, you don't wanna be upset with the world. Let the world be upset with you cuz you be you. Find the little shit fam. You straight, I feel this all the time, I promise everything's chill. I hope you feel better and good luck🙏
I used to blast tar heroin every day
Shit gets old after 9 years. Hope you get clean kid
Yea I have the flu and this is how I feel when the Tylenol fades
Lol
Song fits perfect with my life right now. Use drugs to escape depression but once the drug are done "I feel like dying".
Same 💔
@CHARLES 13X awwww shut the fuck up ..and yours can end in a second....be humble
lol, gayest comment of all time
@CHARLES 13X 😵 Illuminati confirmed
Modshroom def one of the Gayest.
Any other addicts relate to this song too?
I definitely can relate to this song.
PRO-SELF- OFFENSE me right now, currently withdrawaling from h I wanna fucking die. But yeah same.
I'm out of fucking pills but tired of the cycle I'm in its fucked up but I'm damn good at complicating my life.
Without meth or addies it all comes crashing down for me. But ah well, it makes me a functioning member of society...
PRO-SELF- OFFENSE Totally relate to this.
My absolute favorite Lil Wayne song. I love this.
Legends never Die!!!! Near the end of 2019 STILL feelin it!!!!!
Anybody else still bumping this in 2022?
Yo a lot of people know lil Wayne but don't know this song SMH.
Truly an underrated song and definitely one of his best ones. I'm glad I found it years ago.
Kamal Abdel I know this song but not lil Wayne ;-;
I found it in my early teens. The time in my life where I was the most wild.this was my fucking anthem
Wayne has so many song even the biggest fans don't know em all
Honestly I think the reason it isn’t one of his most popular is because I think for whatever reason I think he regrets writing this song if you look it up he was interviewed about this song and said he was in a real dark place and I think it brings back negative emotions for him that’s why it’s kinda hard to actually get this song idk about other platforms but Apple Music doesn’t have this song I think pandora plus does and obviously UA-cam but I’m not sure on other platforms idk just my two cents
