Still listening to the old shit...love this version of gone... Its so raw and the fact that the violin guy messes up in the end is fuckn tight! Can't wait to see you again 🖤
What I love is mgk is so good at just feeling it you know this song was beating in the chambers of his heart and it energizes him like blood flowing through his veins lace up
+Blake Dail i counted it and on the day after it came out i had listened to it 8 times over and over and im still listening to it at least 2 times a day today lol
Let me just say that MGK is the shit on my favorite show " ROADIES ". I love him, he makes the show. The whole cast just fits all together. Great show.
It kills me to hear the cracking in his voice when he says, "Now he's asking if it's too late to save us, shit I don't know." Having a father who wants nothing to do with you until you're doing good in life fucking sucks. Because you want to believe he really wants a relationship, but deep down you know it's only because you got money and exposure now.. It's fucking sad...
Turtle Slaying Thanks for repeating what I basically just said, I'm not the one who has it wrong, it's Dalton Davis here who got MGK confused with Eminem
why is Kells' "and hey, hey, hey it's been so long since you've gone away?" part autotuned in the original version. i think his natural singing voice is fuckin beautiful!
Relatively simple: Producers today normally don't even ask if you want autotune on a song, they'll just slap it on because everyone uses it. Funny thing is that there are actually tons of singers and rappers that have an awesome voice but you never hear it due to autotune. Good example is Bastilles "Flaws" acoustic ua-cam.com/video/Y3D-B56YgXQ/v-deo.html vs the normal version: ua-cam.com/video/1E36WU9Wzf4/v-deo.html These imperfections bring some life and diversity into the music and just makes it beautiful tbh, and sadly it's been completely forgotten about.
First started watching it because it was acoustic and wanted to see what kells had. But Leroy in this! sooooo much respect! And kells just made me and even more of a fan than I was! Collabs like this are what music is about!
In my September long nerd out on MGK, all I see and hear is true Musicianship and a tight team of creatives working their asses off for years and years 🔥 I’m a total fan now
It’s crazy that this song was made before they made proper mends. They finally did, and then he passed away. He was waiting to make mends with his son, before he departed from this earth. Tragic, but the beauty came before that. Thats what’s truly important. I know the immense pride he had for his son, was always there. He couldn’t leave, until he knew his son knew that. We are all proud of you, Kells. And so was your father. Remember that. Lace up, my friend.
This song got me over the death of my aunt who had cancer an i took care of full time and held her hand til she died. I got cold chills typing this. I swear one day my.angels are gonna answer my prayers and let me meet you. Youre my biggest inspiration kells. Ive been through so much but the one thing that has never changed is my love for the est movement. I swear one day my wish will come true.
The look on Kells' face at 2:27 just shows how much this song and General Admission as a whole means to him. Real emotion, real person, real music. Lace the fuck up EST 19XX
theres so much emotion in this song and man, i can feel it. i wanna thank Kells for inspiring me so much and always make me think about my dad. thank you.
Maaaaann I LOVE it when Kells does these kind of acoustic plays on the tour bus. I'm gonna be listening to this for years to come (hell, all of his music I'll be listening to for years to come) I'm just so moved and touched by what he creates and how he tells these stories through his music and his songs. It's amazing ☺️❤️
I felt every word and shed a tear. the reason I love mgk is because he doesn't care about everyone's opinion about his music. he's just doing it out of love. he's been thru a lot but he survived and worked hard. much respect. one love
Yup I cried 😒 But forreal though I'm absolutely in love with this man and everything he does. I've been EST since 9th grade. That's five years and I still stand behind everything he represents 💖 general admission is worth a Grammy man :) #itsouryear #estforlife
Ever since my friend introduced me to your music in 2012, you've been my favorite artist ever since! Don't ever change your style man! Love you man! EST For Life!
"Gone" (feat. Leroy Sanchez) [Hook - Leroy Sanchez:] I know you've been gone, gone, gone I know you've been gone, gone, gone I know you've been gone, gone, gone But are you missing me?

Fans waited on me, damn, how do I not owe 'em? Imagine having to make that decision While baby girl's in the kitchen, tears dripping, wondering where her pop's going But I never meant to make you unhappy, can I see that smile? Phone's ringing... "Ey, yo, I'm with my child" Anyways, I wanna write you a symphony But instead she said all I ever wanted is you to stay a while, damn [Hook - Leroy Sanchez:] I know you've been gone, gone, gone I know you've been gone, gone, gone I know you've been gone, gone, gone But are you missing me?

This version has gave me goosebumps every single time and ive even cried a couple. Im at least 1,000 of these views. He is so real. this is pure perfection
God damn this just proves how much of his heart and soul he put into this song. This is real genuine music and more people need to hear it. Lace the fuck up.
So I gotta say this to right my wrong. Once upon a time, i was on my Eminem shit, like hardcore. And my Aunt, who had an addiction problem like Kells had, came up to me and pointed me in MGK's direction literally a month after Lace Up came out. I looked him up and found "See My Tears" and I was like "Okay, so?". So time goes on and I get on Game and TI after a while, and see an MGK song on my UA-cam recommendations or I remembered "MGK" and typed it into the search bar around 5 months ago. I found the whole Lace Up Album and rocked to that shit for 2 months. Then I found the Mixtapes all the way back to Homecoming and rocked with that until Fuck it and General Admission. Now I'm on the Lace Up train like a motherfucker, and see Kells as the only King of Rap alive. Em's been dead to me for the last 2-3 years, Game sucked on Documentary 2, and TI isn't really peaking my interests lately. Kells is and will be forever, the best Rapper out of the Midwest. Lace up from Beloit, Wisconsin.
+Mark Hames Somebody needs to listen... Eminem is the best selling artist of all time... only second to Garth Brooks. In a Music Genre the mainstream has largely considered dying.
+Carina Streb Bei uns is grad Klausurenphase und Frankfurt is circa 500km weg, also eher weniger^^ Aber vielleicht macht er ja n KellyVision und ich bin indirekt dabei!^^
this made me love the song so much more than I already did. my dad left me and my family but hes never called or said anything ever. its crazy seeing people sharing their experiences on his songs. I love it. lace up my dudes
"I wonder if she ever regrets trying to convince my family that im only gone for these checks, When really im obsessed with getting my revenge with sucsess."
This was beautiful. I love how vulnerable mgk makes himself in this for the sake of some incredible music. Gotta respect him big time for this one. You could see how real this shit is by how emotional he was getting. Lace up.
DUDE! Anyone that hates on this video or song... show me one fuckin rapper with as much god damn skill and feeling and truth behind his music like this. So Glad Machine Gun Kelly Is Around. His music has Helped Me With My Art, as an aspiring tattoo artist. Pushing the bounds of believing in myself, also blocking out people who try to kill your dreams. (Which is to tattoo MGK, So Hit ME UP!). WITHOUT QUESTION, REAL! - Love Akron, OH. Follow inst. @Nctrnlmjsty
Machine Gun Kelly is one of the few rapper that's rapping with from the heart and with emotion.
Thats so true man
not really, there's a lot of the dome theres Eminem, Hopsin, Dizzy Wright, G-Eazy, Denace, Logic, J-Cole, Barren Benton
+Tendency Eminem got it easy he had someone do the hard part for him
+NETROKUY because another great rapper thought he was great too if kells had that skill Eminem had when he first started he would've gotten help too
don't forget Yelawolf. We know he keeps it 100!
his verse when hes rapping bout his dad.... so much emotion.
It really is now
Still listening to the old shit...love this version of gone... Its so raw and the fact that the violin guy messes up in the end is fuckn tight!
Can't wait to see you again 🖤
What I love is mgk is so good at just feeling it you know this song was beating in the chambers of his heart and it energizes him like blood flowing through his veins lace up
exactly man ltfu
Cloud Kush Whats your favorite song off the new album I really jam out to Everyday the most but I also really love Gone and Marry Go Round
***** I'm into Spotlight, Alpha Omega, Every Day, Gone, Story Of The Stairs and Merry Go Round.
I'm into those and chasing pavements
DeadSeriousOfficial on point
Anyone else have his album on repeat?
since it came out, everywhere I go I play it
+Blake Dail The only thing Ive listened to since it came out! I have that album on repeat 24/7!
Every second of the day
Benny Engborg Amen to that
+Blake Dail i counted it and on the day after it came out i had listened to it 8 times over and over and im still listening to it at least 2 times a day today lol
I cried the whole song 💕 some times we forget he's human to and this is one of the realist songs I've heard from anyone in a long while LACE TF UP
Marissa McKoy def hits home wit this one
I feel like the acoustic version of any song makes the lyrics more present and meaningful.
The true real one, all his songs are 100% genuine and heartfelt, he spits from the bottom of his soul, magic.
MGK music hits me like no others.... I am not from Cleveland, but I am I proud to blast his music out my window here in Cali. EST FOR LIFE
Damn, now that's REAL music.
Make you tear up cause you can feel his pain.
GREAT WORK, MGK!
DO MORE ACOUSTIC VERSIONS
Lexi W. love acoustic shit like this
Woah. So awesome.
I know it sounds crazy, but I'd actually like to see an entire album done in this style...
he def needs to do that. itd be a great album
Natey Potatey mod sun did an acoustic mixtape
Compared to MGK, Mod Sun is garbage. I have a couple of his songs and I'm not hating, but don't compare the two please.
This is so true. Sleeping with sirens did it
Thats not crazy.. thats amazing
OMG MGK you should do more acoustics!!! And tbh you sound so good/better without the autotune man. Loved this.
exelent!!
Lol learn how to spell
+ayy lmao fr tho
chris kirkpatrick lolwut
+ayy lmao I was only saying that knowing how to spell is important in this day and age.... that's it
chris kirkpatrick Oh okay
I wish him and Leroy would perform this over video right now -- it's still my favorite song
This gave me chills.
Let me just say that MGK is the shit on my favorite show " ROADIES ". I love him, he makes the show. The whole cast just fits all together. Great show.
It kills me to hear the cracking in his voice when he says, "Now he's asking if it's too late to save us, shit I don't know." Having a father who wants nothing to do with you until you're doing good in life fucking sucks. Because you want to believe he really wants a relationship, but deep down you know it's only because you got money and exposure now.. It's fucking sad...
His father left him while he was still in school, well before his first album
Clank22 his father left when he was in elementary after moving him to Cleveland
Turtle Slaying Thanks for repeating what I basically just said, I'm not the one who has it wrong, it's Dalton Davis here who got MGK confused with Eminem
Well no I corrected you and he didn't say anything about Eminem but guess you can't tell two white rappers apart
im talking to a brick wall, bye
Such a banger I swear!
Pure raw talent with pure emotions from an amazing man not afried to show his emotions ❤
Dude Machine Gun Kelly is brutal! One of the greatEST rappers ever!! Who else agrees?!💯
why is Kells' "and hey, hey, hey it's been so long since you've gone away?" part autotuned in the original version. i think his natural singing voice is fuckin beautiful!
Relatively simple: Producers today normally don't even ask if you want autotune on a song, they'll just slap it on because everyone uses it.

First started watching it because it was acoustic and wanted to see what kells had. But Leroy in this! sooooo much respect! And kells just made me and even more of a fan than I was! Collabs like this are what music is about!
This doesn't even have 1million views... Its so amazing to see how much he's grown
In my September long nerd out on MGK, all I see and hear is true Musicianship and a tight team of creatives working their asses off for years and years 🔥 I’m a total fan now
YO KELLS DONT AUTO-TUNE YOUR VOICE. ITS BEAUTIFUL & SING MORE💜🙏😉i can feel your passion and energy flow you put everything into every moment
He doesn’t,don’t buy that bullshit from Eminem
the strings makes it so soothing. loving the sounds
I've heard this sing so many times and it's still like I heard it for the first time so much emotional shit going on..mgk all day
Why is machine gun kellys music so beautiful💯
Kells is the only one that can go unplugged and make u feel it more.... Lace Up!!!
its 2018 and this song still makes me cry
It’s crazy that this song was made before they made proper mends. They finally did, and then he passed away. He was waiting to make mends with his son, before he departed from this earth. Tragic, but the beauty came before that. Thats what’s truly important. I know the immense pride he had for his son, was always there. He couldn’t leave, until he knew his son knew that. We are all proud of you, Kells. And so was your father. Remember that. Lace up, my friend.
He is a rapper a poet and a singer triple threat ,his talent amazes this 54 year old woman
When I see him perform it’s great it calms my epilepsy thanks MGK
So much emotion in this..wow. 💜💜 how did this song not blow up?!?
Leroy Sanchez is incredible! Machine Gun Kelly killed it as usual
I listen to him when I'm sad or angry he soothes my emotions intently. I love mgk so much.
more than just rapper, he's a pure artist
This song got me over the death of my aunt who had cancer an i took care of full time and held her hand til she died. I got cold chills typing this. I swear one day my.angels are gonna answer my prayers and let me meet you. Youre my biggest inspiration kells. Ive been through so much but the one thing that has never changed is my love for the est movement. I swear one day my wish will come true.
MGK U ARE MY FCKNING IDOL DUDE !!!! i relate so much to that verse about your dad hits me i don't have a dad either mine the exact same
The look on Kells' face at 2:27 just shows how much this song and General Admission as a whole means to him. Real emotion, real person, real music.
Lace the fuck up
EST 19XX
LEROY AND DADDY KELLS I LIVE FOR THIS DUO
Still bumping this
How does this not have atleast 1m views...

that gave me chills
Maaaaann I LOVE it when Kells does these kind of acoustic plays on the tour bus. I'm gonna be listening to this for years to come (hell, all of his music I'll be listening to for years to come) I'm just so moved and touched by what he creates and how he tells these stories through his music and his songs. It's amazing ☺️❤️
I love how Machine Gun Kelly actually has love and emotion in his music
I felt every word and shed a tear. the reason I love mgk is because he doesn't care about everyone's opinion about his music. he's just doing it out of love. he's been thru a lot but he survived and worked hard. much respect. one love
a rapper with some actual content. not filler... no over synthesized produced garbage.. LTFU
Amen
So much emotion. I love this. General admission is amazing. Thankful for Kells and his music.
Mummble rapper you were saying ??? ... Where are you haters
hits close to home , my dad been gone...love the passion kells has.
The Passion is on 11 of 10
the passion from him in this song is just amazing! tears in my eyes
Yup I cried 😒
But forreal though I'm absolutely in love with this man and everything he does. I've been EST since 9th grade. That's five years and I still stand behind everything he represents 💖 general admission is worth a Grammy man :) #itsouryear #estforlife
One of the greatest songs of all time
I Love it so much. Stay strong for your family Kellz
Thank you for giving us nostalgic memories 🐈⬛
Kellz is amazing ❤
Ever since my friend introduced me to your music in 2012, you've been my favorite artist ever since! Don't ever change your style man! Love you man! EST For Life!
6k likes and only 14 dislikes, that needs to tell you something.. MGK is living legend!
exactly a motherfuckin livin legend
amazing straight up raw talent. no studio master yet is still straight gold.
Machine Gun Kelly, Eminem, and Hopsin are the realist rappers in my opinion
Jimmy Donohue Don't leave Aaron Yates out of this fantastic list of lyricists!
Jimmy D true shit, and NF
In that order as well
no, future young thug and juicy j are realest
I AGREE WITH YOU 100 BUT WITT lOWRY MUST B ADDED TO YOUR LIST BRUH!!!
leroys voice is so nice and in the actual song, it goes well with the type of rap the song it, this song shows true emotion.
"Gone"
(feat. Leroy Sanchez)
[Hook - Leroy Sanchez:]
I know you've been gone, gone, gone
I know you've been gone, gone, gone
I know you've been gone, gone, gone
But are you missing me?
I know you're missing me
[Verse 1 - MGK:]
Looking down on my phone, see another missed call
I'm pissed off, I never had these problems back when I was piss poor
Scared to see my daughter now because I'm lost in the life
In the bathroom getting high when she called twice
Sorry, but I'm scared at looking at something so precious when I'm a mess
And her mother know it
I wonder if she ever regrets
Trying to convince my family that I'm only gone for these checks
When really I'm obsessed with getting my revenge through success
Cause people hated on me, how can I not show 'em?
Fans waited on me, damn, how do I not owe 'em?
Imagine having to make that decision
While baby girl's in the kitchen, tears dripping, wondering where her pop's going
But I never meant to make you unhappy, can I see that smile?
Phone's ringing... "Ey, yo, I'm with my child"
Anyways, I wanna write you a symphony
But instead she said all I ever wanted is you to stay a while, damn
[Hook - Leroy Sanchez:]
I know you've been gone, gone, gone
I know you've been gone, gone, gone
I know you've been gone, gone, gone
But are you missing me?
I know you're missing me
[Bridge - MGK & Leroy Sanchez:]
And hey, hey, hey
It's been so long so you've gone away
[Verse 2 - MGK:]
Five years to be more specific
I was out here trying to sign to Atlantic
You crossed the pacific
Now is it a coincidence that my first instrument was a violin
That my father wanted for me, so we ended up buyin
And now the instrumental that we're vibing to got one high end
And while I'm writing my first verse he called me up crying?
That shit is crazy, half a decade with no explanation
Now you're asking if it's too late to save us
Man, I don't know so I hang up but I'm saying nothing, just click end
Wasn't man enough to say it so I wrote with a pen
I just wanted to make you happy, but you never smile
I just wanted that phone call that said your daddy's proud
Anyways, maybe eventually we'll relive memories and you'll be next to me and both of us can stay a while, yeah
I know you've been gone, gone, gone
I know you've been gone, gone, gone
I know you've been gone, gone, gone
But are you missing me?
I know you're missing me
[Bridge x2 - MGK & Leroy Sanchez:]
And hey, hey, hey
It's been so long so you've gone away
One day I'll be gone
One day, one day, one day, one day I'll be gone
(But are you missing me?)
One day, one day, one day, one day I'll be gone
(But are you missing me?)
One day, one day, one day, one day I'll be gone
(But are you missing me?)
One day, one day, one day, one day I'll be gone
(But are you missing me?)
This version has gave me goosebumps every single time and ive even cried a couple. Im at least 1,000 of these views. He is so real. this is pure perfection
YESSIR 💯
God damn this just proves how much of his heart and soul he put into this song. This is real genuine music and more people need to hear it. Lace the fuck up.
It hit 1m views!
Every time I watch this... I just wanna hug Kells. The man needs a REAL hug.💕
So I gotta say this to right my wrong.
Once upon a time, i was on my Eminem shit, like hardcore. And my Aunt, who had an addiction problem like Kells had, came up to me and pointed me in MGK's direction literally a month after Lace Up came out. I looked him up and found "See My Tears" and I was like "Okay, so?". So time goes on and I get on Game and TI after a while, and see an MGK song on my UA-cam recommendations or I remembered "MGK" and typed it into the search bar around 5 months ago. I found the whole Lace Up Album and rocked to that shit for 2 months. Then I found the Mixtapes all the way back to Homecoming and rocked with that until Fuck it and General Admission. Now I'm on the Lace Up train like a motherfucker, and see Kells as the only King of Rap alive. Em's been dead to me for the last 2-3 years, Game sucked on Documentary 2, and TI isn't really peaking my interests lately.
Kells is and will be forever, the best Rapper out of the Midwest. Lace up from Beloit, Wisconsin.
The emotion behind this song... Goosebumps everytime man
hes such a good artist. better then Eminem in my opinion.
for sure i prefer mgk to everything
+Mark Hames Why do you have to compare?
hes just so much better. I rather listen to kells then eminem.
hahahahaha 😂😂😂😂
+Mark Hames Somebody needs to listen... Eminem is the best selling artist of all time... only second to Garth Brooks.
In a Music Genre the mainstream has largely considered dying.
this man doesn't get enough credit. absolutely legendary.
Come to Ireland!!
+Oliver Cochrane I'd love to go see him in Ireland! Maybe one day!
He has so much passion inside him, damn!

This is still one of my favorite acoustic songs ever! The emotion kells raps with! ❌❌
"I wonder if she ever regrets trying to convince my family that im only gone for these checks, When really im obsessed with getting my revenge with sucsess."
The fact that you put Leroy on one of your songs makes me so happy. Ive been following him for years on youtube now!
Even More Beautiful Hunny. 💙

"Mumble rapper" - eminem
Bullshit this is real music
This was beautiful. I love how vulnerable mgk makes himself in this for the sake of some incredible music. Gotta respect him big time for this one. You could see how real this shit is by how emotional he was getting. Lace up.
Why am I just seeing this
I love you MGK ! The lyrics, the whole set up is LIT ... Please , stay alive. The world needs a real soul like you. ✌️💓
чувак войдет в историю, где еминем просто ....
what I loved most about this video was how you could see the emotion on his face. that's what I call real music.
DUDE! Anyone that hates on this video or song... show me one fuckin rapper with as much god damn skill and feeling and truth behind his music like this. So Glad Machine Gun Kelly Is Around. His music has Helped Me With My Art, as an aspiring tattoo artist. Pushing the bounds of believing in myself, also blocking out people who try to kill your dreams. (Which is to tattoo MGK, So Hit ME UP!). WITHOUT QUESTION, REAL! - Love Akron, OH. Follow inst. @Nctrnlmjsty
