I made a music video for the Grammy Edition because one doesn't exist. (nb. the music video for Follow God had just been released). Rest in peace Donda West.
I’m going to put my mom to rest today and I’m gonna play this after the funeral and release balloons into the sky. This song tears me up cause it describes outlet relationship so well and the way he put this version together is perfect. Good looking ye
I used to play the original version of this song for my mom when she was alive. She loved it and would say “I’m so proud of you” , she passed away in Sept 2016 of cancer but I try and visit her and bring her flowers all the time. I play her this song every time I visit. miss her a lot.
My mom died last month. I’m bawling to this. I considered taking my life last night, when I fell asleep I dreamt about her for the first time since she passed.
It's a sign man, she doesn't want you to end yourself right now. She sacrificed and hurt so much for you, she wants to see you at very top of the world. Achieve that.
Lost my Mom Nov 21st, 2021 and I’m just lost. My hero is gone. My world will always be a lot darker without her, she was so important to me and I regret that I didn’t show that enough while she was here. Mom April 13th, 1966 - Forever, I love and miss you so much Mom
I had to watch my mom slowly pass on a hospital bed. I was not allowed to enter her room, I never got to say bye or say sorry, nor was I able to hold her hand. I miss her very much and I hope I'm making her proud despite my faults, and I hope to reunite with her. If you know your mom loves you, please show her that you understand. I say that because you cannot match a mother's level of love.
Finally you can rest mommy! I wasn't what you wanted me to be. However, I will give my life to fulfill your expectations. I failed!! But you never did and you gave every aspect of your essence for my life. Thank you God! Thank you Kanye... Thank you Mother! I'll see you soon... I'm sorry!!!
My son got married on June 17 and surprised me by calling me on the dance floor to dance with me to this song. Oh, my…so precious and unforgettable for me.
I feel Kanye is really depressed since flooding his mom.he need our love,prayers and understanding.remember,he was an only child,loved unconditionally, and so it's not easy to recover from that and a terrible accident,not to mention his dad.we the people who love ye ,will continue to pray for him and his family.😍😍😍😍
i so wish i could express to kanye the impact both versions of this song have meant to me and how much they meant to my son, #SammuelKingsley. he didn't how how to find his words. he couldn't ever seem to find the way he wanted to express to me all i meant to him. but one late late night I got a link via text from him. it was one of these versions - later he sent me the other version. i can STILL see where i was standing what i was doing how i was feeling when i first heard it and what it meant to me that he heard the song he felt his feelings and he shared them with me. this song - both versions carried me through my first year of this life after his death he'd always encouraged me to "run" or at least try because i would have these amazing dreams of running - just for the sake of the freedom of doing so after he died running and the two versions of this song they were a HUGE part of what saved my life i could hear him and still can make that sound at the beginning of the other version ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh whenever he was extra proud of me and i hear him singing me these words when i make it through yet another anything - achievement or mere survival he's always there and so are these words to me the second year i did the warrior dash i thought i would collapse and need an air lift i'm only mildly exaggerating but then i heard him again and i sang it OUT LOUD TO MYSELF as i heard him singing to me in my head as i managed to make it through to the end afterall he told me inside my head you ARE My Warrior mom. last night i saw you in my dreams now i can't wait to go to sleep though i still feel each version from my Sammuel to me THIS version i feel as a mom living in the absence of the presence of my only beloved child and longing to see him again in my dreams. love you babe. come visit me in my dreams. stay with me a while. talk to me. tell me things i need to hear. my sonny sonny sonny your moms aka Sam's Warrior mom #Forever28
I love it outta the respect of the moms they were blessed to have. I don't have a relationship with my mom. Only one..is that thing you can feel in the soul. I'd be down and I can get strength from the song. Praise them for the love of the mother and recognized even as 2 pac states.. even at the worst ..she loves them
HEY MAMAE I LOVE U YOUR 👼 ANGEL CANT U SEE COME ON MAMA DANCE 💃 FOR ME I KNOW I ACT A FOO BUT IMA FAKE THEM OUT EVERYDAY IS MOTHERS DAY I love You Maria Brum Medina
When an artist you like passes it feels difficult at first but then the community comes in and helps you in not just with the passing but with your entire life you learn about what the artists impact was and it gives this wonderful layer to all of their music and everything else they left. It's almost like a rebirth and a new chapter of your life has started.
Man when Juice WRLD died it hit me like a truck, after he died I realized that i was so blind to what he was saying in his songs just because they sounded so good to me. After hearing around probably 65% or so percent of his unreleased songs I’m really wondering how the people around him didn’t try anf get him help seriously, like one of the songs he literally says the doctor told me one or two more years of the drugs he was using he will be dead, and that’s what happened. I really hope the people around Kanye and ones that are close to him get help somehow, it may seem like a lost cause but he’s lost his wife (children? idk for sure) and his mom, what does he really have left?
@@earthgrazer2164 man, when XXXTENTACION passed. I was destroyed. The community DIDNT help that much tbh. So many fake people showing love who demonized him while he was alive. I ended up having to be one of the people doing the lifting up
Big Facts!! I tell people this all the time “I Am Kanye!!”…….losing your Mother is REALLY debilitating, life shattering, altering, traumatic etc!! Those are the closest words I could think of to describe it!!
My momma's bday today. Passed 5 years ago at 52. Lost my mind when I lost her. She was my best friend. Miss her more than words can describe. Wish I could rewind time 😥 love u ma "this little light of mine"
Ppl can hate on Kanye West all they want, but idk how those can say that yet never listen to this song. This is easily the most emotional song he made and this version made it better
Can't get enough of this song today. Ma passed this morning. I was with her. She got to go the way she wanted. And honestly I'm proud of her and her work on this earth. She helped so many people without ever getting in return. But it showed me the way to crate love and peace. Just don't expect anything back. Share and give. Eventually you get rewarded with long lasting friendships. It's always worth it.
Listening to this song after donda dropped, Kanye really loved his mom. People really need to understand how hard it is to loose someone you love especially how Kanye’s mom passed away so unexpectedly.

I’m so sorry for you lost man 🫂
I’m sorry for your lost man
I’m sorry for your loss 🙏🏾
My condolences. I hope that memories and music give you comfort during this time. One day you'll be able to listen to this song and smile.
same here family keep your head up
The fact he broke down crying when he was performing this in a live show is soo heartbreaking
this version of the song is one of the handful of songs that can make me kinda emotional and im not a person that gets sad easily
It's definitely my fave version. I wish it was released on streaming services.
Me too.
Same 🥹
Promised you at 13 before you passed I would go to school like you always wanted. Well, just received my degree this summer 🥂 miss you ma.
Ayo wtf dont make me cry.
This just made me cry, congratulations and Rest in Peace to your mother ❤
“This life is all a dream, and my real life starts, when I go to sleep.”
All I feel is ☹️

I hope you’re doing better, that’s beautiful
I feel you, bless her soul 😔 My mom died last September, it’s her birthday today too.
Sorry man
Bless your heart!
I'm sorry
Coming back after listening to Donda. This is even more beautiful now
Same here
Me too
they can never make me hate Kanye
It's just so sad that the man who wrote this song has become
never ever
My mom died last month. I’m bawling to this.
I considered taking my life last night, when I fell asleep I dreamt about her for the first time since she passed.
I hope you’re doing well
It's a sign man, she doesn't want you to end yourself right now. She sacrificed and hurt so much for you, she wants to see you at very top of the world. Achieve that.
Keep going.
Stay strong man she's gone but she loves you still.
yoooo just wanted to see how your doing? god bless... your not alone... we here!!
"Last night I saw you in my dreams, so now I can't wait to go to sleep." Damn !!
Yup.
“This life is all a dream, and my real life starts when I go to sleep.”
Those lines hit so hard…
Rest in peace mama. Whenever I see my mama in my drea.s I wake up and cry when realising she ain't there and will never be here...🥺
Jesus loves us all.
she will always be with you, I lost my mom in may❤️
Step 1. Try not to cry
Step 2. Cry a lot
Dreading the moment imma have to listen to this song without my mom here. Appreciate the love while it’s still here for you 🤙🏽🙏🏽
Rest in Peace, Mama ❤️ I wanna scream so loud for you
Sending love ❣️
Lost my Mom Nov 21st, 2021 and I’m just lost. My hero is gone. My world will always be a lot darker without her, she was so important to me and I regret that I didn’t show that enough while she was here.
Mom April 13th, 1966 - Forever, I love and miss you so much Mom
Rip 🙏
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Makes me cry everytime. God bless you Kanye and Donda West.
Hits different now when Kanye is back in a dark place (divorce)

so sorry for your loss man
I had the privilege of dancing with my mother to this song at my wedding. Cannot imagine life without her.
this song makes me wonder what I’ll be like when my mom or even my dad pass. i love this song so much no matter how sad it makes me, thank you ye.
Broooooo, this version is making a grown man cry
This man not crazy he miss his Mom and I didn’t understand until I lost mines . I understand you Kanye West . Keep being you
So sorry for your loss 😢
I always sad when I listen to released hey mama but this version makes me cry
I was in class and I saw this video and started criying
Finally you can rest mommy! I wasn't what you wanted me to be. However, I will give my life to fulfill your expectations. I failed!! But you never did and you gave every aspect of your essence for my life. Thank you God! Thank you Kanye... Thank you Mother! I'll see you soon... I'm sorry!!!
the most beautiful song ever written
Realizing this might be my final few years with my mom. This shit brought me to tears……
this is my favorite song and its favorite version.
If you listen to this without crying you have no soul
😭😭😭😭😭kanye always helps me get through tough times ❤❤❤❤🩹 love u kanye
if ye had actually played the original beat it would be the most nefarious beat drop ever
My son got married on June 17 and surprised me by calling me on the dance floor to dance with me to this song. Oh, my…so precious and unforgettable for me.
This video is so beautiful. Thank you for this!
I'm dead ass crying over some kanye songs , he has such a troubled mind . He pours his soul in his song
Love his voice so much in this song...😊
I miss my aunt so much I my love mom but my aunt was like my mom even more rip aunt/mom/,angel
Last night I saw you in my dreams, and now I can't wait to go back to sleep
I feel Kanye is really depressed since flooding his mom.he need our love,prayers and understanding.remember,he was an only child,loved unconditionally, and so it's not easy to recover from that and a terrible accident,not to mention his dad.we the people who love ye ,will continue to pray for him and his family.😍😍😍😍
Happy Mother's Day
i so wish i could express to kanye the impact both versions of this song have meant to me and how much they meant to my son, #SammuelKingsley.
he didn't how how to find his words.
he couldn't ever seem to find the way he wanted to express to me all i meant to him.
but one late late night I got a link via text from him.
it was one of these versions - later he sent me the other version.
i can STILL see where i was standing
what i was doing
how i was feeling
when i first heard it
and what it meant to me
that he heard the song
he felt his feelings
and he shared them with me.
this song - both versions
carried me through
my first year
of this life after his death
he'd always encouraged me to "run"
or at least try
because i would have these amazing dreams of running -
just for the sake
of the freedom of doing so
after he died
running
and the two versions of this song
they were a HUGE part
of what saved my life
i could hear him
and still can
make that sound
at the beginning of the other version
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
whenever he was extra proud of me
and i hear him singing me these words
when i make it through yet another
anything -
achievement
or mere survival
he's always there
and so are these words to me
the second year i did the warrior dash
i thought i would collapse
and need an air lift
i'm only mildly exaggerating
but then i heard him again
and i sang it
OUT LOUD
TO MYSELF
as i heard him singing to me
in my head
as i managed to make it through
to the end
afterall
he told me inside my head
you ARE My Warrior mom.
last night i saw you in my dreams
now i can't wait to go to sleep
though i still feel each version
from my Sammuel
to me
THIS version
i feel as a mom
living in the absence
of the presence
of my only beloved child
and longing
to see him again
in my dreams.
love you babe.
come visit me in my dreams.
stay with me a while.
talk to me.
tell me things i need to hear.
my sonny sonny sonny
your moms aka Sam's Warrior mom
#Forever28
may Sammuel rest in peace
❤️
thank you donda.
i feel like this would be ye's last song if he ever passed away
as sad as it is but this would be devastating if it was on 808’s and heartbreak
Wow this is just straight up magical full of love and appreciation💛💛
Mother’s Day anthem for my mama every Mother’s Day since Late Registration dropped ❤️
THIS IS MY KANYE
*our kanye
I miss my mom so much 😭
Last night I saw my Mom Mom (my grandma) in my dream and this song is just too much rn 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I LOVE U MOMMA
Music doesn’t make me emotional this is an experience
most beautiful thing ever
and my real life starts when i go to sleep.
I love it outta the respect of the moms they were blessed to have. I don't have a relationship with my mom. Only one..is that thing you can feel in the soul. I'd be down and I can get strength from the song. Praise them for the love of the mother and recognized even as 2 pac states.. even at the worst ..she loves them
It's hard to even think about it.
I’m grateful to still have mine Thanks Kanye ….I swear Kanye has one of the most beautiful minds I’m the game for years and years !!!
Amazing.
Thank you! 🙌🏽
Miss u mom been 20 years 😢
I remember always in the back of my head. Its like a safety song.
I miss My Aunt so bad her birthday today she was like my mom 💔
I love this song bc I wish I could love my mom like this
"Real life begins when I go to sleep"
this is my favorite music ever i think
one of the things I think I'll miss most in my life, my mother
keep listening... 💔

I love my mother so much…there is nothing I wouldn’t do for her
Kanye you might not see this but iloveyou no spaces
He lost his mind with his mom.
He'll be alright though.

Damn man💔
I love my mom!
When was this released ?
2005 donda was still alive in that moment
There’s not been an artist passing that has made me sad. But when Kanye goes I’ll be gutted.
I said the same thing
Teard up just reading this... Smh

It took me the passing of my own mom to finally understand Kanye’s behavior.
similar experience, take care
God bless you both

My momma's bday today. Passed 5 years ago at 52. Lost my mind when I lost her. She was my best friend. Miss her more than words can describe. Wish I could rewind time 😥 love u ma "this little light of mine"
Naw Fr
Okay I bawled my eyes out at this and my mom is still here with me. I can't even imagine how I'd feel if my mom wasn't here... Thank you Ye.
You’ll cry even more if u know that 2:00 until the end is marvel
Like the melody that marvel movies go at dude
same btuh i cried for a good 10 minutes
same
we all still men here😞
I love this song so much I cry every time
The Grammy performance is so emotional because it was after his mum passed away. Long Live Donda West.
I would to if I actually liked my mother to that extent but Its nice to see it from his perspective and it slowly starts to seep in.
Ppl can hate on Kanye West all they want, but idk how those can say that yet never listen to this song. This is easily the most emotional song he made and this version made it better
This and violent crimes will always make me emotional. Kanye holds the girls in his life so close that it ends up hurting him
Check out Only One, that shit is his most personal song
Can't get enough of this song today. Ma passed this morning. I was with her. She got to go the way she wanted. And honestly I'm proud of her and her work on this earth. She helped so many people without ever getting in return. But it showed me the way to crate love and peace. Just don't expect anything back. Share and give. Eventually you get rewarded with long lasting friendships. It's always worth it.
I'm sorry to hear this, but I hope that knowing your mother passed peacefully provides yourself and family with some peace of your own.
Your mom sounds a lot like mine. She passed in 2002. The pain never goes away but it does dull somewhat. Sending you love and positive energy.💗💔💗
❤️🙏🏾
nah bro you made me cry so much may she rest in peace
@IceKoldKilla I’m late to see this, but I couldn’t imagine bro. 🙏 praying for your strength
He sings about my greatest fear. All things considered I think he kept his composure when he lost his mama because idk what I'd do if I lost mine.
Probably one of my favorite versions of the song. 🕊
I remember seeing an Oprah performance Kanye did of this song with his mum right in front of him. Long Live Donda West.
The side of Kanye that media doesn't know
They don't want anyone to know about the beauty and humanity of him, that doesn't sell as well as tragic and unsettling news
Listening to this song after donda dropped, Kanye really loved his mom. People really need to understand how hard it is to loose someone you love especially how Kanye’s mom passed away so unexpectedly.
