I haven’t seen my daughter since she was 6 months old , 8 years have pasted , still haven’t seen her , 20 k later in court fees still haven’t seen her, this song used to make me cry, now I have just grown old and bitter against the system … where is the justice for dads ?
I hope this reaches you king. I was in almost the same situation my daughter was 2 when I last saw her she's 14 now. My daughter Found my family through Facebook then me. About a year ago. At first she snuck around to call and text me. Now we meet openly. Her mom finally realized there is no keeping a child from their parent. She's your blood and always will be KEEP YOUR HEAD UP KING.
Man this comment gave me chills. I'm in the same boat. I feel you my man. My girls bday coming up in july. As the date gets closer this song gives me mix feelings of sadness and anger.
My daughter came to me at 14 years old and asked to stay with me. Her and her mom have been getting into it over her mom talking about me with her friends. She comes over more and we have been building ever since. I thought the day would never come but it did and I give all praise to the Most High. I wait patiently for my son now.✌🏿
Don Trip saved my life with this song. can't count how many times I took the trigger from my dome after listening to this song. She took my boy from me. Spent thousands of dollars till I went broke. Depression set in deep. not to mention already had my previous wife die by my side @ 3 months pregnant but I fought and lived through that too! Finally worked past nearly being homeless and losing my job. found strength and after a year not seeing my son I won. now I see him every other weekend. thanks Don Trip
I'm SORRY you had to deal with all of that. Some people TRULY ARE just HEARTLESS and ALL they CARE ABOUT is either BEING RIGHT or else DOING WHATEVER THEY CAN to make us LOOK as AWFUL as POSSIBLE. My ex is EXTREMELY NARCISSISTIC and just NATURALLY a HITLER CLONE at heart and thinks he can do NOTHING WRONG.....and when he DOES DO SOMETHING WRONG....there's NO WAY IN HELL he'll EVER APOLOGIZE for it because with NARCISSISTS....they're just CONVINCED that they WEREN'T WRONG and NEVER WILL BE. Co-parenting with a narcissist is probably the BIGGEST NIGHTMARE and CHALLENGE I have EVER had to face in MY LIFE and I don't WISH for ANYONE ELSE to ever have to deal with it. ONE DAY though our kids WILL be ADULTS and IF by SOME MIRACLE of a CHANCE the OTHER PARENT hasn't COMPLETELY BRAINWASHED THEM....they WILL eventually come to KNOW the TRUTH....so HANG IN THERE....it's NOT just the MEN that get pounded in the ass by the courts and the legal system as I'M LIVING PROOF it even happens to GOOD PEOPLE.
Bro I know I'm seeing this late but the resilience in you is inspiring I know what it feels like for the existence of a kid to keep one from killing themself. Be blessed and stay up
on folk's I was just zoning out but I seen this comment and can't be live how true it is. Men gotta stand strong even though the court system believe women more often. STAY STRONG ALL THE HOMIES FIGHTING. I PRAY U STAND TALL
Man. I got a 32 year old daughter that i just started building a relationship with. My first born. She came to find me after she found out the truth. How I fought for her and her Mom alienated me from her. This the best time in my life building a new future with my Babygirl. There is still hope fellas... Im just glad I lived to see these new days with her and my Son.
Thank you Don Trip for making myself and these other fathers not feel alone.. Speaking for myself, this song makes me tear up! God has our backs fathers.. It's not over.. It's not done!! Never give up fellas
I don't even have kids but this made me mad...shout out to the fathers who are working hard to be in their children life despite the mothers who try to block them....Keep fighting fellas!!!
I think doing the chorus and putting his name on this to increase awareness is one of the finest things CeeLo has ever done. This is a message that needs to be heard.
this song kept me strong and fighting. i deployed to afghanistan and got a letter for child support. when i got back i found my ex was taking me to court. All i wanted to to get my kids. the judge told me i was a deadbeat dad gave her custody. 4 years late me still fighting finally she got arrested for drinking and driving with my kids. i never gave up. I have had my kids for 2 years now. found out she broke my daughters arm and abused my aon because he looks like me. This song was my motivation. All you fellas that are doing right, keep doing it. Never give up. i didnt and now tables have turned. my kids are doing great in school with out any support from their mom. God is good
I went TDY for 3 months and she called me out the blue and hit me with the "I'm not happy, i want a divorce" We got a 1 year old. So fucking stupid. And now I'm past being hurt. I grieved the loss and I'm back to being me. But now she wants 1k a month in child support. Musta bumped her head or something.
Same when I'm wit my Mama my Pops listen to this song it's like a anthem to him he will play it on repeat for hours and hours on end thanks for letting me share YOU KNOW!!!!!
This song right here.... This song. Don Trip, you will forever be the greatest rap artist to me. The greatest. After 8 long years, I finally have my son, who I'm raising without his mom, because he chose to be with me. Not the courts choosing, not his mom choosing, but because HE chose. Keep being powerful.
This brings tears to my eyes what I put my son’s father through. I took time away from them. Luckily now we moved forward and are best of friends all step parents too! Still never sits right with me what I did to them!
Glad to see a women finally taking accountability,,,, this always goes on and it's a ending cycle,,,, but just have to say thank you for your bravery to stand up and thank you again,,, another father from the internet that can relate.... peace
Appreciate the honesty...I dont know how my son's mom sleep at night causing her own child to be alienated from his father. Her Selfishness even towards her son is amazing. he is innocent. Karma!
You can see the pain in Trip face 😢 so much pain that I feel it. We gotta do better ladies. Because if the shoe was on the other foot and they didn't want nothing to do with the baby then you'll be crying... Praying for the real men who actually want to be father's in the child(s) life🙏🏾
For all of us who are going thru this, Don't give up. Exhaust everything you have. to have a relationship with your child. Anyone who keeps a child away from a parent that loves them and want to be with that child, is the bad parent.
me!! I used to have this song downloaded on my phone and played it every day. Lost all my music files and haven't heard it untill just now, I still love this song.
This shit hits so fucking hard, I was fortunate enough to get 50/50 but that time I had to be away from my son was purgatory. You can go to work, hang out with friends, escape in video games, but something is always missing and you know there’s nothing but time wasted when you’re not part of his moments.
Mannnnnn I tell myself it’ll be alright, but like you said about something “missing”, like a part of my soul been separated. I’ve been battling for 50/50, I just have to be patient with my lawyer. Much blessings to you and yours my Brotha 🙏💯
@@newera5238 same to you man hope it works out. There’s a lot of hoops we gotta jump through just to show the court we are worthy and it’s gonna feel one sided af but dads gotta do what dads gotta do
To all the fathers missing there children. Keep your head up and never give up. We will have ours again and we will be living our best lives with our Beautiful children once again.🙏🏽💪🏽❤️
@@jonathanlyman5705 my son's mom lost him to the state and so I fought for his custody. I had to do everything that they were making her do. She showed no interest in the case and didn't fight. They make you do classes and all kinds of shit I had to do outpatient rehab too because she was on drugs when she lost our son.
@@jonathanlyman5705 they did but you do have to prove that you're stable and have to pass drug test and hair follicles and cannot drink if you're underage of course
Years later I still listen to this..I went from being with the mother of my daughter,to losing my daughter completely with no communication out of pettiness.....And now she just turned 5 in December..2 years ago I won residential..couple months ago I won full complete custody. I listen to this song to remind me the journey I took to be where I am right now. It was not easy. But in the end I got my Aurora and mother isnt even in her life....who wouldve known. Stay strong fathers..
I swear if a father hasn’t heard this song it really speaks about what we have to deal with and go through a lot with these women just to see our children cause they bitter or being petty it’s a shame
I love this song. My son daddy is barely ever in his life & the fact that women who has great men as the father of their children keep them away is ignorant. I always tell my son daddy that no matter what we go through or who we date you are welcome to see your son. He has nothing to do with our feud. Women fail to realize not only are you hurting the father but the kids as well
It basically pushes the father further away & causes resentment towards the mother. Like killing someone who's already dying, it's better to allow the child to see for themselves if the absentee parent is deserving of such access. Personally I find it utterly disgusting to play house until the moment of conception, 9 months later a baby is born then all of a sudden the same bundle of joy is in the middle of the "adults'" sadistic game of control 😠... GET IT TOGETHER!!!
this song breaks my heart.. no matter what my sons and i father ever went thru, ill always allow him to see our son because i know what it’s like to grow up without a father. people go thru things just like they grow thru things. fathers keep your head up‼️❤️
My son Kept away from me for 10years only seen him once...Mother pulls all the stops to stop me from seeing my son..My Heart Bleeds Everyday for My Lil Man..
I work so hard to see my son his mom fights with me all the time. I work and give her child support plus more. But I ok only get my son for a couple days weeks apart.. I cry every single night knowing my man isn't with me. Making memories and telling me he wants to be like me. Shit hurts when you have a bitter baby momma that keeps the only reason you haven't took off your cap from you. Stay strong dads we finna be alright. Stay up make sure your kinds crowns are held high through this.
Ay my homie in highschool and got a girl pregnant she blaming him for her dropping out s school she said she was gone abort so my nigga slapped the bih she got a restraining order on hima but she had his son but wont let him see him rest up king it finn be better youll be wit yo little man soon🙏
Reading through all these comments, shedding tears to all of you with similar situations. Hate to see it. Prayers and love to all of you, men AND women that may be going through situations like this.
This is song is poetically beautiful...its nice to hear a man love his children past the bs and still want to be there! Unfortunately some women are like this..smh!
I delt with this. Missed my son's 1st everything. Had him young, I was still in the streets. All I gotta say is keep fighting for what's urs! I stayed at my BM with constant pressure. It took 4-5 yrs of court and arguing, but I got my son 50-50. It was all worth it in the end.
iroc King my son is 1 year 8 months old, I’ve seen him for maybe 15 hours in total since he’s been born, she won’t let me see him at all, is there anything I can do? She refused me on the birth certificate too, so as of now I have as much rights as a stranger in the street. Also I’m not wealthy enough to go through court proceedings. I am really stuck! Someone please, any advice will be much appreciated! Thank you in advance
+Scott Batton First homie u need to get a DNA test if you get it it will look better in court. If you are the father from there get a lawyer or go to local court house with proof see what steps to take next.
back when i found this song, i hadn't met my ex yet. years later i come to listen and read the comments for therapy. for everyone with bm troubles i hope you find comfort in this song.
I LOVE THIS SONG ITS SO REAL. I want to say to all the fathers don’t give up don’t stop doing what I got to do to see ur kids. I went through hell. But I hung in there and he’s 19 in college doing well. I’m off child support. Know know matter what my son loves me and he knows he can call me for anything and I’m right there. It’s never to late to stray a relationship with ur kids. GOD BLESS!!!!!
I'm a mom fighting for custody over my kids and I felt every bit of this from the dads side. Got some bitter baby daddys that's don't understand how trying to make a way for your kids is the real love
Bless each one in here fighting the right fight for the light our kids is our light and God knows I'm fight till my last breath in this life bless us God we just want to be part of our kids. Amen
Who's still here. (2020) This song is so real, I haven't been able to see my son except for maybe twice last year and baby momma is still refusing to let me see my son. I've been trying to reach out to contact lawyers but ain't got the funds to pay out. It's so unreal and I feel like everything around me I'm letting down because all I really ever want to be able to see my son and be able to have the chance to help raise my son to be the man he needs to be. I've tried to commit suicide more than a couple times but I also realized of how unfair that is for him for him not to know who his father is. I'm hoping and praying that either I can continue to save up for a lawyer or he will find his father one day.
I said it before. Bless you. This song has got me through three years of crying too this song. Trust your lawyers. I get my daughter every weekend, overnights now!!!! I know no one see this..... But I was on my end, if she took my daughter. I listened too this daily.
this song speaks volumes.... LADIES no matter what you and your kids dad went thru, it is NEVER our choice to deprive ur kids of a relationship with their dad or vice versa
Dam this came out 12yrs ago?, I used to play this song HEAVY when I was going threw some BS with my son mom 12yrs ago where I wasn't able to see my son. Now in 2024 I'm 33yrs old my son will be 12yrs old this year ( i get to see him a lot now ) But dam life's a trip and it will fly by quick ⏳⌛
I feel ya on dat one mama! Keep ya head up! Love dis song and only wish half the babies I knew had fathers like DON TRIP spitin bout they kids. These deadbeats out here don't give a fuck bout they seeds, muchless fight for um!! #SALUTE #SUPPORT #BQ
AMEN! funny thing is only reason I ever came across this song is b/c my dead beat baby father posted it on his fb. If only his "friends" really knew. His family most definitely does! His entire family always sides with me because they know how he is!
I love this song when I first heard it. Just cuz it was dope and from the heart. But now that I'm going through some shit why can't even see my own son... I feel you Don. I don't wish this pain on nobody.
This song got me threw the toughest 6months of my life when I was waiting on the courts to grant me visitation with my daughter and son and I felt every word of this song down to the bone
+Hoody Man All the best, homie. The road ahead is littered with cracks and craters, but is no match for the resiliency of the human spirit. Stay strong, and congratulations on being clean.
I'm eleven and live with my mom and I can't see my dad only once a year and she won't give me a phone to talk to him on I'm writing this on my tablet crying I love my dad so soo much
@@BlackSuan_513 your comment is dumb, if you write like this then i can only imagine how you talk. So many women have had their kids taken away from them for stupid reasons like picking them up late for school, no second chances at all. So again i ask, if SHE was the deadbeat then why was HE the one that lost him?
@@akiabowens5395 like i said, yo comment dumb. You throwing a hypothetical in for what?? Just to challenge his comment (his truth) so you can be protective of woman. your typical. Why do you think he has to detail you on how she was a deadbeat. he spoke his truth. You should shut up, looking crazy.
Yep, this song right here kept me from loosin my mind, when dealin with the same situation...It was a blessin to see that i wasnt alone, and he worded it perfectly, Big credit to the homie Don Trip for this one...One of the coldest records of ALL time!#Period...
R.i.p Frank I love you you put me on this song cause you was going through it with your bm I just wish you could have just seen him before you died I'm sorry you had to go through this watch over us ....
“Cuz I don’t love her like I used to, so to get back at me she know she gotta use you” I felt that, my BM was doing anything and everything to keep my daughter from me. I wasn’t lettin that happen.
Its a shame we don't crown real songs like this, this is a type of song that comes from a real place that alot of people can relate to. I can't stand rappers who talk about how they represent the streets and how real they are but all they talk about is drugs, sex, money, jewelry, and guns. They all have the same content. The only rapper in my opinion that has real life content is J cole.
I'm going through the same issues as we speak! I did everything & more 4 my lil man. She won't let me see or talk 2 him & it's been a yr now. It's sad i have 2 go through the courts just 2 see my son!!! #Classic #MOE #HOPE #WeStillOutChere
Don tripp is the realest rapper to me now I can listen to all his songs and they all just make me wanna grind and get further in life instead of influence me to go back to the streets......... Much respect bruh keep doing your thing
I could never imagine keeping my son from his father. Me n him may not get along but I’ll never make my son hurt just to get back at him for anything. I don’t even ask for child support cause I know he will help when he can
The song got me through some of the craziest days I've ever experienced as a black male in America who grew up searching for "a Father's Love" and the concept that drives certain men to love their creation to lead and guide their creation and to ultimately be a man. During the stages that I was forced to get custody of my daughter do to her mother's drug use I had set out on a mission define myself and defy all the opposition. This song gave me life....and I love how I'm loving it
This song hits home for me 😢😢 as I went through a very similar 18 years of constant child custody/ child support battles with my bm. I left her but not my two kids!!! They were always my main priority and continue to be so. Sucks that now that they’re grown they don’t really see all I did for them to be with them
Listening to this with tears in my eyes right now, just got the news yesterday, that my daughter that I just reconnected with, is going to have to return to her mother, after being removed from CPS, the kind of woman that Don describes in the song, is the exact kind of woman I'm dealing with, my daughter don't want to go back to her mom, she knows that our time is going to be limited, and I live states away, this shit is beyond fucked up. Salute to every man going through this, keep your head up, Spirit got your back on this one, strength and resilience for all of you, all of us.
If your a female going through this you are a shitty mother cause men don't do this bitter shit. Fuck you you get no pitty party. Us real men go through this over a scorned woman mad because the relationship ends.
Going through the exact same thing as Don trip, just with my baby girl Skylet! Her nickname for me haves always been daddy baby and I just want her to know that even tho her mom keeps me for her daddy haves never gave up on her and never will, I will always be here for you and am fighting for you to this day just know daddy got you and got people looking out for your safety and I will always be just 1 call away, But the most hurtful thing is my BM BF puts his hands on her and the system will do nothing about it and tells me if I take matters in my own hands I'll never see her or have her in my life just don't know what to do but to keep trying and fighting for her and her safety just hopes it works out before its to late!!!
Damn man this song just touched me deep. I'm kind of going through the same thing. I been with this girl for 5 years every since she was pregnant with my son. I get locked up and things changed. She had a baby on me and then the dude ended up leaving her. I got out and was still there for her. Was even there when she came home with the other man's baby. I brought her pampers and everything. I was working out of town so I wasn't in the household. But I sent her money every week and went to visit from time when I had the chance. Now for the last five months I haven't talked to my child because of some crap she claim she seen on fb about her.
I haven’t seen my daughter since she was 6 months old , 8 years have pasted , still haven’t seen her , 20 k later in court fees still haven’t seen her, this song used to make me cry, now I have just grown old and bitter against the system … where is the justice for dads ?
🤬😔🙏🏿🤞🏿
I hope this reaches you king. I was in almost the same situation my daughter was 2 when I last saw her she's 14 now. My daughter Found my family through Facebook then me. About a year ago. At first she snuck around to call and text me. Now we meet openly. Her mom finally realized there is no keeping a child from their parent. She's your blood and always will be KEEP YOUR HEAD UP KING.
I’m 21 same here took my two sons from me and the mother😖😞😞😞
Man this comment gave me chills. I'm in the same boat. I feel you my man. My girls bday coming up in july. As the date gets closer this song gives me mix feelings of sadness and anger.
Nle choppa letter to my daughter

My favorite. Fighting for my daughter now shit hurt more than anything this hot home
I think doing the chorus and putting his name on this to increase awareness is one of the finest things CeeLo has ever done. This is a message that needs to be heard.
this song kept me strong and fighting. i deployed to afghanistan and got a letter for child support. when i got back i found my ex was taking me to court.

Feel you brother, Sam's no one will keep me away from my son and daughter, same to you. Good luck
Never gave up...I'm trying to stay positive too
I went TDY for 3 months and she called me out the blue and hit me with the "I'm not happy, i want a divorce"
We got a 1 year old. So fucking stupid. And now I'm past being hurt. I grieved the loss and I'm back to being me. But now she wants 1k a month in child support. Musta bumped her head or something.
Congratulations 🎉👏🏽
This will forever remain one of my favourite songs
Same when I'm wit my Mama my Pops listen to this song it's like a anthem to him he will play it on repeat for hours and hours on end thanks for letting me share YOU KNOW!!!!!
@@nevaehharris9562 I'm 12
Big facts!
Mine too cause when I heard it I was going threw this exact situation
Well why 6 foot 4 in yo name lol
This song right here.... This song. Don Trip, you will forever be the greatest rap artist to me. The greatest. After 8 long years, I finally have my son, who I'm raising without his mom, because he chose to be with me. Not the courts choosing, not his mom choosing, but because HE chose. Keep being powerful.
First time hearing Don Trip. Now I’m hooked 🗣🔥
This joint here touched me in more ways than one man some folks will never truly understand.
The pain is all too real, we adults are so ignorant that we dont see the bruises are kids go thru.
who still listening to this in 2024?
I listen to it everyday
💯💪
Everyday
To real to be forgotten
Remixing it soon 🫡
This brings tears to my eyes what I put my son’s father through. I took time away from them. Luckily now we moved forward and are best of friends all step parents too! Still never sits right with me what I did to them!
Glad to see a women finally taking accountability,,,, this always goes on and it's a ending cycle,,,, but just have to say thank you for your bravery to stand up and thank you again,,, another father from the internet that can relate.... peace
Good for you to be able to admit---and move past it!
Appreciate the honesty...I dont know how my son's mom sleep at night causing her own child to be alienated from his father. Her Selfishness even towards her son is amazing. he is innocent. Karma!
Respect to a woman having some accountability. Now you deserve to be called a Queen!!!!!!!
Wow , glad you admit. Thank you 🙏
You can see the pain in Trip face 😢 so much pain that I feel it. We gotta do better ladies. Because if the shoe was on the other foot and they didn't want nothing to do with the baby then you'll be crying... Praying for the real men who actually want to be father's in the child(s) life🙏🏾
This song is baby mama kryptonite..
Best comment on here...lol..

For all of us who are going thru this, Don't give up. Exhaust everything you have. to have a relationship with your child. Anyone who keeps a child away from a parent that loves them and want to be with that child, is the bad parent.
wha?/\
Who’s listening in 2019?
The world
Still relevant today.
me!! I used to have this song downloaded on my phone and played it every day. Lost all my music files and haven't heard it untill just now, I still love this song.
Who is not?
2020 bruh
This shit hits so fucking hard, I was fortunate enough to get 50/50 but that time I had to be away from my son was purgatory. You can go to work, hang out with friends, escape in video games, but something is always missing and you know there’s nothing but time wasted when you’re not part of his moments.
Mannnnnn I tell myself it’ll be alright, but like you said about something “missing”, like a part of my soul been separated. I’ve been battling for 50/50, I just have to be patient with my lawyer. Much blessings to you and yours my Brotha 🙏💯
@@newera5238 same to you man hope it works out. There’s a lot of hoops we gotta jump through just to show the court we are worthy and it’s gonna feel one sided af but dads gotta do what dads gotta do
@@joshmcnair4150 Mannnnn THANKYOU! Thankyou for that knowledge and light 💡. I’ll take your advice and be patient, thankyou 🙏🔥🙏🔥
To all the fathers who are dealing with this and can't afford a lawyer. Keep your heads up.
Real talk....I just want to give my son what I didn't have growing up. A pops, and somebody to look up to
We need it it's so hard
Cordell and Cordell. They helped me through it all. Call them.
🖤🖤🖤💨💨🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
That shit cost me 17,000 now I receive child support and she has to pay all the back pay 🇵🇷💪🏽💯
There is no other song I can relate to as much as this one. I will never give up this uphill battle.
To all the fathers missing there children. Keep your head up and never give up. We will have ours again and we will be living our best lives with our Beautiful children once again.🙏🏽💪🏽❤️
These comments make me realize im not alone. I find comfort in this. Keep fighting yall our seeds need us!
This song motivated me to get full custody of my son back when I was 18 now I’m 22 and he’s 4! His music is so inspirational
Send that lawyer my way
Yo fam how did you do that... alot of people telling me to put myself on child support is their any truth to that?
@@jonathanlyman5705 my son's mom lost him to the state and so I fought for his custody. I had to do everything that they were making her do. She showed no interest in the case and didn't fight. They make you do classes and all kinds of shit I had to do outpatient rehab too because she was on drugs when she lost our son.
@@TheMrmarco111213 do the state help you out financially?
@@jonathanlyman5705 they did but you do have to prove that you're stable and have to pass drug test and hair follicles and cannot drink if you're underage of course
I’m almost there , I got my son back home .. prayers too all the father fighting keep y’all head up don’t give up the kids need us 💙
Years later I still listen to this..I went from being with the mother of my daughter,to losing my daughter completely with no communication out of pettiness.....And now she just turned 5 in December..2 years ago I won residential..couple months ago I won full complete custody. I listen to this song to remind me the journey I took to be where I am right now. It was not easy. But in the end I got my Aurora and mother isnt even in her life....who wouldve known. Stay strong fathers..
Amazing story man 💪🏾
I swear if a father hasn’t heard this song it really speaks about what we have to deal with and go through a lot with these women just to see our children cause they bitter or being petty it’s a shame
I love this song. My son daddy is barely ever in his life & the fact that women who has great men as the father of their children keep them away is ignorant. I always tell my son daddy that no matter what we go through or who we date you are welcome to see your son. He has nothing to do with our feud. Women fail to realize not only are you hurting the father but the kids as well
It basically pushes the father further away & causes resentment towards the mother. Like killing someone who's already dying, it's better to allow the child to see for themselves if the absentee parent is deserving of such access. Personally I find it utterly disgusting to play house until the moment of conception, 9 months later a baby is born then all of a sudden the same bundle of joy is in the middle of the "adults'" sadistic game of control 😠... GET IT TOGETHER!!!
2018 this song will forever be a classic. Medicine to the brain of a father. Salute Don Trip!!! 💪💯
this song breaks my heart.. no matter what my sons and i father ever went thru, ill always allow him to see our son because i know what it’s like to grow up without a father. people go thru things just like they grow thru things. fathers keep your head up‼️❤️
My son Kept away from me for 10years only seen him once...Mother pulls all the stops to stop me from seeing my son..My Heart Bleeds Everyday for My Lil Man..
I work so hard to see my son his mom fights with me all the time. I work and give her child support plus more. But I ok only get my son for a couple days weeks apart.. I cry every single night knowing my man isn't with me. Making memories and telling me he wants to be like me. Shit hurts when you have a bitter baby momma that keeps the only reason you haven't took off your cap from you. Stay strong dads we finna be alright. Stay up make sure your kinds crowns are held high through this.
Ay my homie in highschool and got a girl pregnant she blaming him for her dropping out s school she said she was gone abort so my nigga slapped the bih she got a restraining order on hima but she had his son but wont let him see him rest up king it finn be better youll be wit yo little man soon🙏
Who's listening during covid-19 year 2020...
All my kids live w me and this song still makes me tear up . Very powerful song ❤
Reading through all these comments, shedding tears to all of you with similar situations. Hate to see it. Prayers and love to all of you, men AND women that may be going through situations like this.
i got 2 kids im fighting to see right now. i listen to this 24/7. fathers keep your head!!!!
curtis cass how the case going
I'm going through the same shit
Did you get your children
Some girls are cold asf niggahs forget their kids and the niggahs that wana be there cant cause these bitches hate on the fact that u ve moved on
curtis cass I’m about to head down the same path man. Any update on how the case went?
This is song is poetically beautiful...its nice to hear a man love his children past the bs and still want to be there! Unfortunately some women are like this..smh!
Got that right & it's SICKENING
I delt with this. Missed my son's 1st everything. Had him young, I was still in the streets. All I gotta say is keep fighting for what's urs! I stayed at my BM with constant pressure. It took 4-5 yrs of court and arguing, but I got my son 50-50. It was all worth it in the end.
iroc King my son is 1 year 8 months old, I’ve seen him for maybe 15 hours in total since he’s been born, she won’t let me see him at all, is there anything I can do? She refused me on the birth certificate too, so as of now I have as much rights as a stranger in the street. Also I’m not wealthy enough to go through court proceedings. I am really stuck! Someone please, any advice will be much appreciated! Thank you in advance
+Scott Batton First homie u need to get a DNA test if you get it it will look better in court. If you are the father from there get a lawyer or go to local court house with proof see what steps to take next.
File with child support
DNA will be free
Listening to this as a kid and then now listening to this as a dad... Imma just say he ain't miss
back when i found this song, i hadn't met my ex yet. years later i come to listen and read the comments for therapy.
for everyone with bm troubles i hope you find comfort in this song.
I LOVE THIS SONG ITS SO REAL.
I want to say to all the fathers don’t give up don’t stop doing what I got to do to see ur kids. I went through hell. But I hung in there and he’s 19 in college doing well. I’m off child support. Know know matter what my son loves me and he knows he can call me for anything and I’m right there. It’s never to late to stray a relationship with ur kids. GOD BLESS!!!!!
Derrick Williams mad respect to you and all the fathers out there including mine. Don definitely spit facts on this one a true meaningful classic
I'm a mom fighting for custody over my kids and I felt every bit of this from the dads side. Got some bitter baby daddys that's don't understand how trying to make a way for your kids is the real love
This song hits close to home... i have 2 sons and the same shit , i haven't got to see them in years... i will never give up... one day i will!!
Bless each one in here fighting the right fight for the light our kids is our light and God knows I'm fight till my last breath in this life bless us God we just want to be part of our kids. Amen
Who's still here. (2020) This song is so real, I haven't been able to see my son except for maybe twice last year and baby momma is still refusing to let me see my son. I've been trying to reach out to contact lawyers but ain't got the funds to pay out. It's so unreal and I feel like everything around me I'm letting down because all I really ever want to be able to see my son and be able to have the chance to help raise my son to be the man he needs to be. I've tried to commit suicide more than a couple times but I also realized of how unfair that is for him for him not to know who his father is. I'm hoping and praying that either I can continue to save up for a lawyer or he will find his father one day.
He will fam, I ain't seen my daughter in 3yrs as u see we not alone keep da faith
Stay strong brother I feel your pain. Pls don't hurt yourself, we better than that, we will see them soon brotja stay positive
The first rap song since "Brenda's got a baby" that made me cry,....especially now that I have a daughter and going through the same SH😑T!!
I said it before. Bless you. This song has got me through three years of crying too this song. Trust your lawyers. I get my daughter every weekend, overnights now!!!! I know no one see this..... But I was on my end, if she took my daughter. I listened too this daily.
This song forever lives rent free in my head 💯
this song speaks volumes.... LADIES no matter what you and your kids dad went thru, it is NEVER our choice to deprive ur kids of a relationship with their dad or vice versa
If you here 10 years later your a real og 🐐 🔥
First Time I ever heard this song. Dope. Was watching his interview on 85 South show. My 1st time putting a face to the name.
Taking my baby mama to court this Monday please give me prayers yall
I don't believe in God but I wish the best for you. I'm going thru the same bs
Thanks man 💯
This is a real song that alot of people can relate to, Radio need to put this in rotation. This song should win a grammy
This shit hit harder when you can relate🤦🏽♂️💯
Dam this came out 12yrs ago?, I used to play this song HEAVY when I was going threw some BS with my son mom 12yrs ago where I wasn't able to see my son. Now in 2024 I'm 33yrs old my son will be 12yrs old this year ( i get to see him a lot now ) But dam life's a trip and it will fly by quick ⏳⌛
I'm a baby mama and I love this song. Wish my baby daddy would want to see our children. Hell I gotta pay him to keep our children while I work.
I feel ya on dat one mama! Keep ya head up! Love dis song and only wish half the babies I knew had fathers like DON TRIP spitin bout they kids. These deadbeats out here don't give a fuck bout they seeds, muchless fight for um!! #SALUTE #SUPPORT #BQ
AMEN! funny thing is only reason I ever came across this song is b/c my dead beat baby father posted it on his fb. If only his "friends" really knew. His family most definitely does! His entire family always sides with me because they know how he is!
So he'd be one of those irresponsible, selfish idiots who would refer to this as "babysitting" 😒
I feel you!!
Real ones don't ever get recognized like they should.
Crazy this first song I ever heard by don trip and here we are 12 years later and I’m going through this exact shit with my son.
Man, when he came with this song, I felt every word because I was going through it, so I've been listening to Don Trip since 💙💙💙
I love this song when I first heard it. Just cuz it was dope and from the heart. But now that I'm going through some shit why can't even see my own son... I feel you Don. I don't wish this pain on nobody.
Nobody!!!!
This song got me threw the toughest 6months of my life when I was waiting on the courts to grant me visitation with my daughter and son and I felt every word of this song down to the bone
🗣Who Listening in 2024?
Classic
When the mother keeps a child away from a good father meaning me well that make her a deadbeat !! But I'm still fighting for my son I'll never give up
I hope things get better... I wish my kids dad was still alive to see his kids....life is funny that way
God bless you
I'm 36 days clean on alcohol #feb29th
+Hoody Man All the best, homie. The road ahead is littered with cracks and craters, but is no match for the resiliency of the human spirit. Stay strong, and congratulations on being clean.
I'm eleven and live with my mom and I can't see my dad only once a year and she won't give me a phone to talk to him on I'm writing this on my tablet crying I love my dad so soo much
I love Ceelo's voice so much its amazing
I lost my son over two years ago to a deadbeat ass woman, and I swear I’ll never give up on my son. He’s been my world since he’s been born
If she was a deadbeat then why did YOU lose him
@@akiabowens5395 dont act like the court system dont give woman chance after chance... yo comment dumb
@@BlackSuan_513 your comment is dumb, if you write like this then i can only imagine how you talk. So many women have had their kids taken away from them for stupid reasons like picking them up late for school, no second chances at all. So again i ask, if SHE was the deadbeat then why was HE the one that lost him?
@@akiabowens5395 like i said, yo comment dumb. You throwing a hypothetical in for what?? Just to challenge his comment (his truth) so you can be protective of woman. your typical. Why do you think he has to detail you on how she was a deadbeat. he spoke his truth. You should shut up, looking crazy.
Remember hearing this way back when it was the original version. Still love it and it still hits home
Yep, this song right here kept me from loosin my mind, when dealin with the same situation...It was a blessin to see that i wasnt alone, and he worded it perfectly, Big credit to the homie Don Trip for this one...One of the coldest records of ALL time!#Period...
Legendary song so many fathers around the world can relate to this.
R.i.p Frank I love you you put me on this song cause you was going through it with your bm I just wish you could have just seen him before you died I'm sorry you had to go through this watch over us ....
“Cuz I don’t love her like I used to, so to get back at me she know she gotta use you” I felt that, my BM was doing anything and everything to keep my daughter from me. I wasn’t lettin that happen.
It's not about yall it's about the kid
@@Trippyink901 duh, that’s why I was fighting for her
Love this song. Im going thru this as we speak. Its motivation music. I will see my son soon. Love u Turk.
this just brought tears to my eyes
Its a shame we don't crown real songs like this, this is a type of song that comes from a real place that alot of people can relate to. I can't stand rappers who talk about how they represent the streets and how real they are but all they talk about is drugs, sex, money, jewelry, and guns. They all have the same content. The only rapper in my opinion that has real life content is J cole.
Rel tlk
Dope song
This still 1 of the realest tracks I've ever heard I remember 10 years ago going thru this
I'm going through the same issues as we speak! I did everything & more 4 my lil man. She won't let me see or talk 2 him & it's been a yr now. It's sad i have 2 go through the courts just 2 see my son!!! #Classic #MOE #HOPE #WeStillOutChere
If you just now discovering Trip. You're late. But welcome to the party! Most underrated artist in the game. 💯💯
THIS SONG BEEN OUT FOR 10 YRS N IM JUS HEARIN ' IT omgoodness
Amazing how our struggle is identical. THANK YOU for this song.
Don tripp is the realest rapper to me now I can listen to all his songs and they all just make me wanna grind and get further in life instead of influence me to go back to the streets......... Much respect bruh keep doing your thing
I could never imagine keeping my son from his father. Me n him may not get along but I’ll never make my son hurt just to get back at him for anything. I don’t even ask for child support cause I know he will help when he can
DATZ💯QUEEN💖
The song got me through some of the craziest days I've ever experienced as a black male in America who grew up searching for "a Father's Love" and the concept that drives certain men to love their creation to lead and guide their creation and to ultimately be a man. During the stages that I was forced to get custody of my daughter do to her mother's drug use I had set out on a mission define myself and defy all the opposition. This song gave me life....and I love how I'm loving it
dealing with same issues got court today
how did court go
The Gamer1234 Monday for me
The Gamer1234 ĺ
.
The Gamer1234 powers man we all in same boat bruvva
I'm going thru this shit RIGHT NOW SMMFH @ my son mother

man im dealing with this shit right now
+Matthew Bruce What does that even mean?
+Darius Cameron you a special kind of stupid
+markus ellis what are you talking about?
Same fella. Keep fighting
Hard af in TX wit a paper trail, keep on keeping on
This song hits home for me 😢😢 as I went through a very similar 18 years of constant child custody/ child support battles with my bm. I left her but not my two kids!!! They were always my main priority and continue to be so. Sucks that now that they’re grown they don’t really see all I did for them to be with them
I've never thought that I would find a song that can describe exactly the shit I'm in rite now but thanks to you DON TRIP that song go hard brah...
Such a good song. Good job Trip. And Cee-Lo as always fuckin kilt the hook 💯👌🔥🔫🎯😆
10 years later still classical 🔥!!!!
Listening to this with tears in my eyes right now, just got the news yesterday, that my daughter that I just reconnected with, is going to have to return to her mother, after being removed from CPS, the kind of woman that Don describes in the song, is the exact kind of woman I'm dealing with, my daughter don't want to go back to her mom, she knows that our time is going to be limited, and I live states away, this shit is beyond fucked up. Salute to every man going through this, keep your head up, Spirit got your back on this one, strength and resilience for all of you, all of us.
Who else listening to this because they going through the same b.s? Bitch let me see my child!
Im a female going thru this with my kids Dad!
sammee
Sorry :(
Yep
If your a female going through this you are a shitty mother cause men don't do this bitter shit. Fuck you you get no pitty party. Us real men go through this over a scorned woman mad because the relationship ends.
Going through the exact same thing as Don trip, just with my baby girl Skylet! Her nickname for me haves always been daddy baby and I just want her to know that even tho her mom keeps me for her daddy haves never gave up on her and never will, I will always be here for you and am fighting for you to this day just know daddy got you and got people looking out for your safety and I will always be just 1 call away,
But the most hurtful thing is my BM BF puts his hands on her and the system will do nothing about it and tells me if I take matters in my own hands I'll never see her or have her in my life just don't know what to do but to keep trying and fighting for her and her safety just hopes it works out before its to late!!!
I'm a female going through this with my kids Dad. Just sad!!! I long for the day when things change.
Damn man this song just touched me deep. I'm kind of going through the same thing. I been with this girl for 5 years every since she was pregnant with my son. I get locked up and things changed. She had a baby on me and then the dude ended up leaving her. I got out and was still there for her. Was even there when she came home with the other man's baby. I brought her pampers and everything. I was working out of town so I wasn't in the household. But I sent her money every week and went to visit from time when I had the chance. Now for the last five months I haven't talked to my child because of some crap she claim she seen on fb about her.
