And when we were to stupid to realize that we were becoming addicts that some, unfortunately, would never recover. Times were great when we were high but there's ALWAYS a dry time when NO ONE ever seemed to have shit, that is when I felt like dying, the withdraw is another thing that I will never forget..
For those who searched this and are listening with great emotion and heartache. You are loved. You deserve to live. Please remember you were chosen to exist. May God bless you and keep you safe
After jamming to this song when I was younger, now coming back after I have fought several addictions it hits so different. I am sober now though, I did it and you can too. Whoever needs this, keep pushing. The WD’s don’t last forever even though it feels like you won’t ever get back to normal I promise you you WILL. KEEP PUSHING!! You got this.
I am on that see saw right now. Been for over a decade and then in 2021 got diagnosed with Leukemia and 6 doctors told me I didn’t even have months left. I was so relieved feeling like im about to be free from myself finally, and then in February of 2022 the day after a group of elders at our church prayed for my healing , I no longer had any cancer. No infected lymph nodes after having 40+ dead, and my blood had returned to normal! I was very angry. God saved my life that I was more than willing to leave and I also have Schizoaffective Disorder and since then my mental has been trying to get rid of me. Now I feel like I am here just chasing the rush and not concerning myself with sleep, just existing in a state of purgatory waiting to see if God or the enemy wins my battle this time. And that’s me up to this moment. Its just so strange and definitely frustrating because I still do not care who wins and their outcome happens. Just worn out being in the middle of the war between good and evil . And finally understanding that it has never been any different at any point from the beginning of time. Perhaps that is peace.
they been living like this. it's just that they either make it look all luxurious and expensive, or don't talk about their addictions at all. you're just hearing it all being put in a negative light for once.
Google this song i read a article that somebody interviewed him and ask him about this song. Wayne ended the interview quick and walk out. I believe something or sum thing happened to him in that studio that night.
This song comes into my mind every time after a night of heavy drinking. What a masterpiece this song is. Y'all stay up, these feelings will come to pass king.
@@21Sleepy16you have no clue. Detoxing off heavy hard liquor absue is dangerous and potentially lethal. Delirium Tremens are no joke. Opiate withdrawl wont even kill you
Caught myself singing the chorus, it’s been year’s since I last heard it, now that I’m older it gives me a sense of loneliness. I miss the life I had then
I had to have been like 8-10 when this song came out and I first heard it. I'm 22 now with two kids and listening to music I heard when I was a kid makes me so sad lol. I miss being a kid.
This song will forever be one of my favorites. I feel like so many pivotal moments in my life are married to waynes songs and albums. They all hit straight to my soul
Notice how Wayne never had his music taken down by UA-cam or something. He shared his music to the world. I hope he knows how grateful we all are for him.
I’ve never thought about this but we all know Wayne is a artist during his mixtape run he lived on a tour bus with a studio he pioneered putting a studio on the tour bus you never heard of that till Wayne
nothing in life but a stupid high. no one to love. no one to talk to. no one who would blink if you died. no way out. praying to just od and never come back to this world.
a fellow soul spouting factz# is always a welcoming sight indeed xD not really "nothing" tho, usually there's a shitload of suffering with very few genuinely happy moments, lulz - so yeah, quite an experience dis existence ehhh
This song grew up with a generation… most of us escaped the addiction part but but can never fully escape the music or how we felt when we had first heard the songs… this is what real music is!
Idk about you, but I'm a millennial. Drug addiction has taken many of my friends, and caused many others to move to Florida where all the rehabs are. I'm one of the few lucky ones.
@@augustuscaesar8287 stay strong and try to stay away from the addiction. You might be the reason someone chooses the right path because they see how strong you are . Much love homie
I remember my dad bumping this when I was 6, and now it has turned into a great example of introspection for me. I've listened to it to cope with addiction and just to vibe. Very thankful for this one.
My feeling of when you live alone, no friends, the meds wore off and now all you have is your thoughts about how you have no one and money doesn't fill the void of an empty heart, forcing conversations because you can't relate to anyone, telling yourself it's fine you'll be okay but you wonder how can silence be so loud. Maybe tomorrow will be different only to wake up and hit repeat.
Facts I was a prisoner behind Xanax bars for a long ass time I just 4 months ago broke free of em. This the longest I been clean off em and ion even crave em no more. But u already know we still off that tree and shrooms mingling wit the stars and partying on mars 🤟🏼💯🔥
This is one of the those songs that you can actually feel, not only relate to. its like he tapped into a different level of connection.. idk, hard to explain
When Weezy was in his prime, he was the most hated hip hop artists in the world: "If 2pac was still alive, Wayne would flip burgers at McDonalds." Years later people mourn this version of Weezy, smh. People start appreciating things only when they're gone. Weezy was greatest rapper alive 2006-2013, he was untouchable I don't give a shit what anybody says.
Kevin Bostwick the mixtapes were hard to even keep track of back in the day. there were the Droughts, Lilweezyana, can’t even remember some others. But you just had to look for them on Limewire or Frostwire or whatever. And the names of the tracks didn’t always match up. Those are the ones that it seemed like a lot of people never heard but were amazing.
@@JP-wk7cc Man lilweezyana still bumps, drought 2 and 3, that other shit he did with drama. ohhhh wee all fire. yea man limewire or datpiff and rapgodfathers. those were the times
The way he worded everything. The feeling of hopelessness boarding a plane without a pilot, the feeling of insanity with the flowers are dead line, and just starting the verse off with a “Pssssss” like he was a stranger on a bus dropping some weird ass drug philosophy is genius. 10/10
This shit dropped when I was about 27, with a raging addiction to opiates, and Benzos, selling dope, in and out of jail, etc etc. This song literally came out around the same time as my "bottom" I used to sit and listen to song contemplating ending it all, cause I truly felt like dying. I ended up in rehab a couple days or weeks later, and never looked back, got into recovery, 12steps all of it, and my life is completely different cause of it today all these years later. But damn man. Listening to this shit again. I don't think I have listened to it once since then, but it's become popular on social media again, so I had to come hear the full version!! Stay blessed y'all
yo steve! i was 27 when this came out as well and while i consider myself alcoholic, opiates were always in the background. of course i did drugs the same way i drank, balls to the frickin wall fubar. i saw the light in 2013 and coming up on a decade sober - by the grace of god. cant tell you how many times i pulled over wishing this shot would be my last with wayne on my speakers. pink floyd also. but it's funny how hopelessness leads to desperation leads to The Gift. stay strong my fren
*DJ SCREW, BIG MOE, PIMP C, BIG HAWK, FAT PAT, Screwed Up Click do your research fam. HOUSTON birth the sound that was influenced by codeine which spread the epidemic.*
@daniel-Smokes-Kush TEXAS420 Well if people actually listened to Wayne, they'll know he gives credit to those guys all the time. He ended up coining it for the young ones
Its a nice message and all, but the reality is that addiction claims the lives of tens of thousands of young people every year. Many dont make it. Ive lost 8 friends since 2012 to suicides & overdoses. OD'd myself on Christmas of 2019 from a speedball of xanax, meth, h and fent. Thankfully i only seized for a minute or two and lost consciousness for 5 minutes, but bolted upright and started panicking thinking there were 6 cops in my living room, not knowing they were actually EMTs who had just arrived. STILL convinced myself I didn't have a "problem", for another 10 months afterwards, when I was finally forced to get treatment by my entire family. Been clean from narcotics since December 2020 and have no desire to ever do opiates again. It took alot of work to get here. And ALOT of time for my brain to restore itself back to where I could experience joy again without the use of opiates. Many dont make it. Its a grim reality. But thats why we have to take it upon ourselves to extend an arm out towards addicts currently going through their daily hellish struggle. Recovery is probably one of the few things in life that cannot be accomplished by a lone addict. No matter how mentally strong they are, the support is irreplaceable.
Haven't heard this song in years but it def hits different at age 33, after all the shit I've been through since this came out when I was like 19-20. So fucking raw, haunting, and ahead of its time.
@@indyfosho5458 I didn't mean the lyrics I meant the production....🙄 But thanks for being rude for no reason....Bc clearly the only element of music is lyrics lol smh
The birth of drug addict rapper era. Wayne birthed all these dope fiend and drug addict rappers. Yea, 3-6 mafia did that lil syrup song, but Wayne birthed the drug addict generation in rap.
And what’s wild about it is when artists came out EVERYONE was on that artist for a month or two. Now you have album releases, first week sales and by that next Friday someone else is dropping
This song reminds me of how my mom must’ve felt with her addiction. RIP mama til we meet again ❤️ Edit: Wow, thank you all for the comments. I needed the love and support. Much love to everyone who came/comes across this post.
this was THE song that woke me up to the fact that….damn, I’m an addict. Back in 2009. Took some stumbling but now I have 8 years clean. anyone FEELING this song right now…don’t lose hope 💜
I have never struggled with addiction but just know that the world doesn't always just view you as an addict. A lot of us admire you for being able to climb that mountain that is sobriety
i am an addict of marijuana and alcohol. those drugs are hard to kick. the other ones are harder, too. i need to make more money so i can do more drugs. but you get love for knowing what you want and going to get clean. you look really good and natural fresh new. blessings! getting off drugs is a hard decision and it takes some of the strongest souls in the universe of life to stop doing them. if you can, love~ if you cannot, love~
around 12-13 my step dad was badly addicted to drugs n used to listen to this in the bathroom on repeat for hours (getting high) same exact youtube channel . i remember it as background music at that time and now at 26 life hit different and i get it now , i haven’t seen him since i was 15 i hope he’s better now
@@andrewlemay2491 keep listening. The greatest rapper of my generation and arguably the greatest rapper of all time. Listen to his early stuff. As they say, he was ahead of his time.
@@ericsade5961 im 34 Nd lil wayne was basically running rap in the mid 2000's he was like how kendrick is now but with endless content........ Still say he's had the best evolution as an artist of all time lil wayne has had like 5 diff rap careers in one
Wild to me that these rappers be crying out for help & we do nothing, just vibe. I myself am a recovering addict so I feel this shit, I didn't back then however.
@@healydowd8831 you’re truly lucky to be able to experience this song long after it came out. I remember being a teenager when this dropped. Wayne’s a legend.
I remember being like 12 or 13 having no experience with drugs thinking this song went hard. Now I’m 28 and in recovery from opiates and benzos and this song cuts so much deeper than it used to now.
I was born in 98, and yet I still listened to this old wayne all the way through middle school and high school. If you got in my whip, this wayne was on. The fucking gooooaaatttttt
2024 this song still transports me to waiting for the city bus to get home when this first came out, played on repeat. Don’t know if now or then was better.
Nobody needs to tell me I’m a legend for listening to this in 2024. I once listened to this song with a lot of dead people. ❤ RIP Extremely deep, dark song. I believe Wayne can’t even remember most of his lyrics from over a decade. Felt.
7th day of 2020 homie..... 1st time I heard this I was doing 6 yearz 4 armed robbery and my partner NXT cell over was playing this... He'd been doing almost 20years straight since he was 15 for a drive by that he smoked some 13's.... Dude was still a virgin. Never had pussy once but put it down for his set and was doing his bid like a Man

Same. I even heard the song this got sampled from Karma' once'. Helped me stay strong.
You bad bytch you! The world is so proud of you! Stay strong love.
I love this and ily.
the original codeine crazy 😪. its insane how many modern hip-hop songs derive from this kind of sound. lil wayne one of the GOATs
Freed Damn. Codeine Crazy is a good comparison. Somebody needs to make a playlist of songs in this same vibe
Freed stfu
*DJ SCREW, BIG MOE, PIMP C, BIG HAWK, FAT PAT, Screwed Up Click do your research fam. HOUSTON birth the sound that was influenced by codeine which spread the epidemic.*

@daniel-Smokes-Kush TEXAS420 Well if people actually listened to Wayne, they'll know he gives credit to those guys all the time. He ended up coining it for the young ones
4/20/2024 didn’t think I’d be listening to this today but definitely one of my favorite songs
Jesus, I listened to this for the first time on a come down like 20 years ago and now I’m listening damn near sober, doesn’t hit nearly the same 😂
The old Wayne music gives me goosebumps. Some of the most legendary music ever made
*goosebumps* is correct. wild memories wild times.
@@liddlejennxxx you were probably like 4 years old.
@@t-murph9371 this dude has videos from 2009 and you're a literal child
Wayne is THE GOAT
Such as what songs
If you're here because you know this pain, I feel you. You'll get through it. You always do
Real!!! Hold on 😮
I needed to see this comment. Love to everyone reading. You always do get through it. This time isn't any different, only the circumstances are.💟
Thanks g
Thank you bro, I needed this 🙏🏽
Its a nice message and all, but the reality is that addiction claims the lives of tens of thousands of young people every year.
Many dont make it.
Ive lost 8 friends since 2012 to suicides & overdoses.
OD'd myself on Christmas of 2019 from a speedball of xanax, meth, h and fent.
Thankfully i only seized for a minute or two and lost consciousness for 5 minutes, but bolted upright and started panicking thinking there were 6 cops in my living room, not knowing they were actually EMTs who had just arrived.
STILL convinced myself I didn't have a "problem", for another 10 months afterwards, when I was finally forced to get treatment by my entire family.
Been clean from narcotics since December 2020 and have no desire to ever do opiates again.
It took alot of work to get here. And ALOT of time for my brain to restore itself back to where I could experience joy again without the use of opiates.
Many dont make it. Its a grim reality. But thats why we have to take it upon ourselves to extend an arm out towards addicts currently going through their daily hellish struggle.
Recovery is probably one of the few things in life that cannot be accomplished by a lone addict. No matter how mentally strong they are, the support is irreplaceable.
It should be on Spotify!
I had to come here just to listen to it. It doesn't make sense why it isn't on Spotify.
Copyright for the “I feel like dying” the person who sings that song never cleared the vocals. So I was never put on carter 3
When you come back to this song as an adult and it hits more 😮
Haven't heard this song in years but it def hits different at age 33, after all the shit I've been through since this came out when I was like 19-20. So fucking raw, haunting, and ahead of its time.
Certainly not ahead of its time...lol....
People been dealing with drug addiction long before the song came out......
@@indyfosho5458 I didn't mean the lyrics I meant the production....🙄 But thanks for being rude for no reason....Bc clearly the only element of music is lyrics lol smh
yeah, the beat sounds like it was made yesterday
@@teratoma. yes!! Exactly my point thank you for getting it lol
@@shawnalynn5198 hope all is well, you are very beautiful btw. Bless up.
“I can mingle with the stars, and throw a party on Mars. I am a prisoner locked up behind Xanax bars.” That shit hit me deep..
I literally scrolled onto this comment when he was singing this verse. Creepy but fitting because I’m going through it now
I literally commented the same thing . I hope you are okay now brother and doing better
Dude Weezy lyrics are out of this world
No it didn’t stop trying to sound cool Because you just sound like a jack ass
With 'we are not the same i am a marshin'. Makes one think they can already live on other planets.
Come back to this whenever I'm too sober and feeling lonely
Best comment ever "when you come back older and understand everything"
When you're broken this song is perfect...
Also when not ;)
Yes. My other one is seether fine again. Diff type of burn though
Listening to this at 24, never thought I'd make it this far
Agreed at 27 I'm shocked but blessed
You still ok?
@@TrapAPMadeItSlap u still good ?
Facts. 5/20/96 still shreddin somehow
I’m 25 and feel that sooooo much like wtf
Fuck! Listen to this back in the fucking day! Came back 10 years later with the same FUCKING feelings. Some of us don’t get better.
Everytime wayne has a song with a high pitched vocal sample its going to be a good song
yamato kurosawa lol so true
100%
i think u mean chopped and screwed bruh . what the point of making a stupid comment 🤣
@@abyssent choped and screwed means low pitch not high pitch.

Damn it’s the third of January 2021 and here I am listening to this song
Jan 15 fo me
Me 3
i feel ya
yea im here too..iloveyou We got this right💛
Same!🖤
The birth of drug addict rapper era. Wayne birthed all these dope fiend and drug addict rappers. Yea, 3-6 mafia did that lil syrup song, but Wayne birthed the drug addict generation in rap.
Still here in 2024 listening to this classic
You had to live through these times to understand how popular Wayne was. He took the world by storm especially our generation
Indeed
yes
And what’s wild about it is when artists came out EVERYONE was on that artist for a month or two. Now you have album releases, first week sales and by that next Friday someone else is dropping
True that
That’s a fact. He was Drake before Drake. You couldn’t even imagine his rap tenure coming to an end.
loneliness kills, depression is its favorite cousin.
Cristian 250 mmmGAAAAAAAAAAAAY
Cristian 250 no sleep is deaths cousin
Thank you.. I will reach out to ppl more, I shouldn’t want to be so lonely .
Cristian 250 they aren’t related they are separated. 7 headed snake of humanity
misory loves company....her nick name sorrow
He was so ahead of his time 🥺🥺🥺🤍
This song is literally depression at its pinnacle
Uhh not really? More like blazed into infinity
@@Karboooo it’s both really
How can you not be depressed in this evil cruel world of ours?
@@matrixdeprogrammed1271 $$$
@@matrixdeprogrammed1271 if they have a good life they just ignore the bad around them. Until the bad catches up to them and it always does
This song reminds me of how my mom must’ve felt with her addiction. RIP mama til we meet again ❤️
Edit: Wow, thank you all for the comments. I needed the love and support. Much love to everyone who came/comes across this post.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💜💜
🙏🏼🙏🏼
My condolences! Sending love 🤞🏼🌹🖤
Rip mom remember that she is still watching over u
Rip mamma
This was 2007 if I'm not mistaken. I remember all the kids on the bus being high af before school bumping this
AYO! WE HERE IN 2024! 🫡
ITS CRAZY HOW AHEAD OF ITS TIME THIS SONG WAS !
young city theirs a rumor that this song was produced by demons and Wayne was possessed also ..... is that true .... 😐😱😨
Haha i remember that rumor...nah media just thought wayne was suicidal cause of the song
hows a demon gonna produce a beat??? 'nah Abezethbou, the beat needs more snare'
Ricky Tommy not saying they can but Satan and satanic occult families control the music industry 😐
Realnigga Turner hell no they don't lmao
RIP my bro, every time we smoked together we played this. I miss you man.
Rip to your brother
SuperFunkyFreshOGSpiderMonkey he not dead
@@JD-sg4xj man you can't be this ignorant he is talking about his bro not wayne
@@JD-sg4xj yo ass bout stupid af yo🤦🏿♂️
do it in memory of him
This song hits different many years later
Brings back memories rollin with the homies smoking fat blunts, the good ol days
“I am sitting on the clouds I got smoke coming from my seat, I can play basketball with the moon I got the whole world at my feet”-
Bars
Kevin hart?? Right. You can't be serious. Lol
Cameron Bolser hater
Light bars
The Boy I’ve been in the yard with the Mexican mafia and I only roll with neggas that will kill and die for ya.
Cryptic Current no I can rap better if wanted to
this was THE song that woke me up to the fact that….damn, I’m an addict. Back in 2009. Took some stumbling but now I have 8 years clean. anyone FEELING this song right now…don’t lose hope 💜
Congratulations 👏👏👏 I'm in that boat right now trying to get clean and stay clean
I have never struggled with addiction but just know that the world doesn't always just view you as an addict. A lot of us admire you for being able to climb that mountain that is sobriety
Big ups homie keep it up 💪
Nice👍
i am an addict of marijuana and alcohol. those drugs are hard to kick. the other ones are harder, too. i need to make more money so i can do more drugs. but you get love for knowing what you want and going to get clean. you look really good and natural fresh new. blessings! getting off drugs is a hard decision and it takes some of the strongest souls in the universe of life to stop doing them.
if you can, love~ if you cannot, love~
After years I finally understand this song and it hits home!
around 12-13 my step dad was badly addicted to drugs n used to listen to this in the bathroom on repeat for hours (getting high) same exact youtube channel . i remember it as background music at that time and now at 26 life hit different and i get it now , i haven’t seen him since i was 15 i hope he’s better now
one of the most unforgettable beats in history.
Yo for real
u mean the chorus. the beat mid af lol
Still one of Wayne's best songs
Definitely
One of the first I heard by him
@@andrewlemay2491 keep listening. The greatest rapper of my generation and arguably the greatest rapper of all time. Listen to his early stuff. As they say, he was ahead of his time.
@@ericsade5961 im 34 Nd lil wayne was basically running rap in the mid 2000's he was like how kendrick is now but with endless content........ Still say he's had the best evolution as an artist of all time lil wayne has had like 5 diff rap careers in one
@@jonathanalvarez8477 bro Wayne was the man in the 2000’s if he remixed your beat that shit wasn’t yours anymore, it was Wayne’s
2024 still goes hard
Wild to me that these rappers be crying out for help & we do nothing, just vibe. I myself am a recovering addict so I feel this shit, I didn't back then however.
Hearing this song as an adult is way different from when I first heard it as a teenager.. I feel this 100%.
First time listen for me
@@healydowd8831 you’re truly lucky to be able to experience this song long after it came out. I remember being a teenager when this dropped. Wayne’s a legend.
@@TheFifthOfNovember93 yeah I think so too, his music is so timeless.
I remember being like 12 or 13 having no experience with drugs thinking this song went hard. Now I’m 28 and in recovery from opiates and benzos and this song cuts so much deeper than it used to now.
I used to smoke to this skit when I was like 13 in my room just chillin
Back when Wayne was all I would listen to 💯
1999
I was born in 98, and yet I still listened to this old wayne all the way through middle school and high school. If you got in my whip, this wayne was on. The fucking gooooaaatttttt
2024 this song still transports me to waiting for the city bus to get home when this first came out, played on repeat. Don’t know if now or then was better.
It’s 2023 and this song randomly popped in my head
Same💯💯
Happens to the best of us 🤣
Pop Pop.
Facts
same i jis started singing it this morning out of the blue
Sadly a lot of us feel this way everyday but I believe he's reminding us to check ourselves.
Exactly.. a wake up call homie👍
Sucky thing man the gov uses as Guinne pigs 4 big pharmaceuticals co. Then your addicted that’s real talk no conspiracies
Nobody needs to tell me I’m a legend for listening to this in 2024.
I once listened to this song with a lot of dead people. ❤ RIP
Extremely deep, dark song. I believe Wayne can’t even remember most of his lyrics from over a decade. Felt.
Still listening in 2024
Damn it’s the third day in 2020 and here i am listening to this song
Right
Spazz Artz this song came out my jr yr in high school. Ill be 30 in may, and im still here.
7th day of 2020 homie..... 1st time I heard this I was doing 6 yearz 4 armed robbery and my partner NXT cell over was playing this... He'd been doing almost 20years straight since he was 15 for a drive by that he smoked some 13's.... Dude was still a virgin. Never had pussy once but put it down for his set and was doing his bid like a Man
