      Between the new albums of Joyner , Benny the Butcher and Busta , they're definitively being shuffled together in a playlist , by themselves. Amazing playlist to vibe and drive too.

    One of the most relatable and hardest bars in music for me:
    “I worked my ass off to get rich, let's not confuse
    I sacrificed my whole twenties just so I can move
    While everybody else was chillin', hangin' out with crews
    I was writin' a plan to finally win while tryin' not to lose “

  • @KelleyBroussardMackaig
    @KelleyBroussardMackaig 3 роки тому +595

    My Dad had a father that was just like this... He never gave a shit about my Dad, about what was going on in his life - and had no interest about how he was ever doing. My Dad told me once that he'd cry himself to sleep at night because of how much he wanted his Dad to be in his life... The rejection of his father wounded him in a way that he never really fully healed from.... And what gets me the most, is that even though my Dad never knew how a good father should be - he was the best Father that I could have ever hoped to have had. I never had to doubt for a second how much he loved me, he showed up to every single thing that mattered - and even to all the stupid stuff that didn't matter. The values, character, and principals that he instilled in me are what shaped me into the person I am today, and they are what keeps his memory and honor alive... Even if it's only in my heart.
    Every child deserves to have the type of father that I was so tremendously blessed to have. If I could just say to all the fathers (and future fathers) out there.... Please don't ever think for a moment that the role you have in your children's lives could ever be expendable or replaceable. The outcome of your children's lives will forever be impacted by the direct involvement YOU have or don't have. If you haven't been the father that you know you could and should have been, it is NEVER too late to do whatever you can to try to make up for lost time... Even if your child is in their 40's, it is never too late to reach out to see if you can repair what you might have considered irreparable.
    In loving memory of my beloved Father,
    Msgt. Colin Broussard USMC Retired, Vietnam Veteran

      It’s always the people who didn’t have the best parents that turn out to be the best parents. Because they don’t want their kids to go through what they went through.
      I have the kind of father who was absent for most of my life and then came back... but he still doesn’t try. He’s just there, he’s an inconvenience tbh. And he doesn’t understand how much of a mental toll him coming back into my life takes on me... I’d rather have no father than have the father I have now, because there’d be no difference tbh

      💯, I had a very shitty childhood, care system from 6 years old, grew up in rough areas etc. I've got a 5 year old daughter and everyone tells me how amazing I am at being a parent, take her places every time I get her for the day, that I travel through whatever the weather to get her even if its for an hour or whatnot, spend the very last of my money on her, the truth is, I'm not her hero, she's my hero, without her I'd be dead cos of depression when my mum died, I still fight them dark thoughts but as soon as I see my little girls smile, if it's been a hard week, that week instantly gets forgot about. I'm giving my daughter everything I never had, a much better start in life and a lot of amazing memories for her to cherish in the future 💝

    My father was in Prison the majority of my youth, I looked up to him and wanted to be a "Gangster" and go to Prison just like him. I was always arguing with my mom and blaming everything on her. I never really understood how strong my Mother was until I became a parent myself. Thanks to him, I know the man I would never become.

    This is exactly my story with my father. At 40 now, my sadness has changed from inward towards my own pain, to outward towards my father. My father has never spoken a word about his childhood, however, I do understand his childhood was very painful. He duplicated how his father treated him, at me. Still does today. Although I haven't spoken to him in over a year (used to be every week until I stood up for myself. Now he refuses contact. Go figure)... The moment my son was born, I committed to him I would change our family curse and grow a NEW tree branch off our family tree. No longer will our family branches reside in the cold shade. From me downward, our branches will grow towards the sunshine and prosper. I am incredibly grateful to have been blessed with a son and although it has not been an easy road, my son and I have an amazing relationship and I am forever grateful. I love you son ❤ I am so proud of you 🙏

    [Chorus: Elijah James]
    In sweet dreams, I kid myself
    Have your love for good
    I really had hoped you'd stay
    But like the river, you just come and go
    And these things, they comfort me
    When my mind's on you
    And I feel you comfort me
    But like the river, it just comes and goes
    [Verse 1: Joyner Lucas]
    I used to think that you was Superman when I was younger (Yeah)
    Findin' comfort in your voice when I was down and under
    Put you on a pedestal and now I kinda wonder if that made sense
    ‘Cause I'm convinced you showed a lot of colors (Yeah)
    All them nights I was alone, I hid inside thе covers
    Used to argue with my moms whеnever I was stubborn (Facts)
    I never warmed up to the idea of a step-dad because he wasn't you
    And you and him ain't even like each other (Word)
    Used to bring me ‘round your girlfriends as I recall
    I thought one or two was cool, but I ain't like ‘em all
    ‘Cause all you ever did was argue ‘bout who's right or wrong
    And you ain't have no job, so you would sit at home and light a bong (Yeah)
    Used to crave for your attention, but I never got it
    And everything you said we'd do is just another promise
    You had dreams of bein' famous and I never doubted
    But I started rhymin' to impress you, if we bein' honest (Facts)
    But we can have some bondin' time and maybe pow-wow
    A father/son relationship that we can smile ‘bout
    At time's you got abusive and I had to bow down
    Or keep on makin' music to try and compete with Bow Wow
    Your father died when you was young, I think that made a scar
    I started thinkin' maybe that's why you the way you are (Nah)
    End of the day, no excuse for how you played your part
    Told myself when I became a father, I'ma raise the bar (Word)
    We had a lot of fallin' outs and didn't talk for years
    And all them birthdays and holidays got awfully weird
    You threw me in a foster home and I was brought to tears
    Livin' with some strangers, feelin' anxious, I was lost and scared (Yeah)
    [Refrain: Joyner Lucas]
    And now I'm starin' at the river tryna get across
    And all I see is apparitions of what never was
    And everything I used to wish for is dead and lost
    And if I never see your ass again, I'll be better off
    I'll be better off (Yeah)
    [Chorus: Elijah James & Joyner Lucas]
    You are so negative (Uh)
    And you say you know
    But you know a goddamn thing
    Like the river, you just run and go
    You say you could do good
    And better you know
    But you tried no goddamn thing
    Like the river, I'ma run from you
    [Verse 2: Joyner Lucas]
    I told myself I wouldn't write a song, but fuck it, I did
    Oftentimes, I sit and wonder if it's somethin' I did
    Or maybe I was immature, but is it somethin' I said?
    I can't help but feel the feelin' that there's somethin' I missed
    I told you somethin' happened to me and you ain't protect me (Yeah)
    You tried to say you ain't believe me as you disrespect me (Facts)
    And plus, you never had my back, in fact, you may resent me in a way
    ‘Cause everythin' I say, you try to use against me (Word)
    And I never knew your other kids, but I knew of ‘em (True)
    I'm not really sure if I like ‘em, but I do love ‘em (Do)
    Shit, I don't even think you knew but just a few of ‘em
    ‘Cause all your baby mothers stayed away to keep you from ‘em (Word)
    You probably out fillin' they heads with shit that's not the truth
    You probably told ‘em that I switched up when I got some loot (Uh)
    You probably told ‘em that I'm greedy and I'm not so cool
    That I worship the devil and I sold my soul to cop a pool (Yeah)
    I worked my ass off to get rich, let's not confuse
    I sacrificed my whole twenties just so I can move (True)
    While everybody else was chillin', hangin' out with crews
    I was writin' a plan to finally win while tryin' not to lose (True)
    I still remember signin' my deal and you got hella funny
    And at that time, you probably figured I had hella money (Yeah)
    But I only got a small advance, so I ain't even get a chance to hold you down
    ‘Cause then you started gettin' jealous of me
    But I'm worth a couple million now, I turned out fine (Yeah)
    I copped my moms a big crib and went and got mine
    An indoor pool with a house made and I'm not lyin' (Nope)
    A happy son who loves his dad, it's about time (Yeah)
    [Refrain: Joyner Lucas]
    But I'm still starin' at the river tryna get across
    And all I see is apparitions of what never was
    And everything I used to wish for is dead and lost
    And if I never see your ass again, then I'll be better off
    Nigga I'll be better off
    [Bridge: Elijah James]
    Karma comes back and it's co-co-comin' (Co-co-comin')
    Treatin' me bad and I'm ru-ru-runnin' (Ru-ru-runnin')
    Karma comes back and it's co-co-comin' (Co-co-comin')
    Treatin' me bad, I'm ru-ru-runnin' (Ru-ru-runnin')
    [Outro: Joyner Lucas]
    And congratulations, nigga, you won
    And all the love you never gave me, I can give to my son
    Eternal love to my child, we'll forever be one
    Thanks to you, I know the man that I would never become

I wanted to hate him, I really wanted to just keep moving like he was a blip on the radar, but I came back and finished the song and I smiled because of the story and the plot twist behind it. This song right here brought tears to my eyes, so Joyner, if you see this, know that we’re standing with you. The men that didn’t have nobody growing up, the ones who had to figure it out ourselves for everybody else. I’m happy you’re alive, I’m happy you exist, I’m happy that you’re one of the few artists I can look up and relate to. Don’t ever stop being you man, don’t ever stop being real.

    Man this song cuts so deep. Even though I grew up with an active pops in my life, but I ended up losing my pops last year on New Year’s Eve and it just hits so different now and makes me super emotional😢💔. I think about my pops everyday and often have memories about him and I even dream about him. Like this song, not everyone is fortunate enough to have a father in their life, but I’m grateful that my pops was there for me. And I’m not saying that just to shit on the ones who didn’t have a father in their life. It’s just listening to this song makes me realize that I was blessed to have known my pops and now that he’s gone it just hits different, but he’ll always be remembered. Rest easy Dad🙏🏾🕊️🖤. One day I’ll be the same way to my kids and carry on the legacy💯.

Why didn't you step up and take care of my mom. I was so undesirable to you that you felt better off without me? Whack as fuck bruh!

    I wanna thank you my man, I struggle with ADHD so fucking bad so when you dropped that joint I was in love with it cause I could feel it to a T. I grew up with my dad in and out and when he was in, he was always drunk as fuck and would not give me a single second of his day to see what I was working on or interested in. So when you dropped this video and I connected to it again I knew you were something special and I wasnt alone in this world. So again Joyner, thank you for saying the words that I wanna say in your own way where I can connect.

The book is called “The ADHD Advantage” by Dale Archer, MD. Lots of good info and tips to use it vs fight it. Hope this helps man. Have a good one.

    My ex-wife showed me this song, and at first I thought she meant me, but explained she meant my son's biological father. She sent the song to him telling him that my son has a father. I'm conflicted on the situation. I know that I have been present in my son's life for the past 7 years, and his bio-dad has been in and out of prison (I'm not saint to be fair) and just not present consistently. It finally came to the last straw with my boy's mother, and she chose me after going through a shit ass divorce. I hear this song, and I get sad but proud at the same time.
