    He's not saying he's IS the best. He's using " telling himself he's the best" as his best weapon against that inner darkness is telling himself he is the best. And my opinion... He is. The messages he puts out there are some of the most beautiful.

    I don’t make a lot of comments, this one is well deserved and overdue... I watch a lot of reaction channels; nl Shaq, simba, artofkickz, Mathews Fam, SK, Kript, to name a few, but there’s none better than Knox Hill. He’s an artist himself, and a good one, yet gives concise breakdowns and explains the technicalities of other artists through seemingly unbiased perspective.... though he is obviously an expert at his craft he has always been humble. I’m unable to put into words the praise and respect I have for this man.... Knox, I wish you the best of luck in all that you do....
    And thank you for all the inspiration you give.

He talks about his pain from his mother's addiction and abuse he suffered as a child. They are both very talented. And where they are from doesnt matter either. I wont deny Tom knows how to make money. But hes not saying no one is better than him. He is saying it to himself. Like hes telling his demons.

Also I like how bad Tom gets bigger & smaller depending on weather or not good Toms winning or losing the internal argument. Also when real Tom is feeling stronger he has on a cap. It’s like 3 voices, the good, the dark and the Tom he is, made up of them all.

    Imagine what it took to create this song. Forget the music, the video, and the end result, which are all dope. Imagine creating these lyrics and concepts. Imagine being able to think and visualize in this way. It's mind blowing that a single person, or even three people, could create this! I'm having trouble accepting that this could exist without divine inspiration.

    This is a mental health battle in song and video. That's why it charted like it did initially. So many can relate to the battle of self.
    If you don't believe you're the best at what you're doing, you're not doing what you're supposed to be doing. The person holding you back is you. If you can stand toe to toe with your demons, you can do anything.

    I’m loving how he’s reading into the poetry of Tom; the vision of what he’s trying to get others to understand about what he’s feeling, the beats, drums, flow, etc! It’s honestly a great job done, in my opinion, as is per usual by Tom. Thanks, Tom for giving others that do or don’t have anxiety or issues like that the perfect portrayal of exactly what that feels like! It’s hard to keep going when you’re constantly at war with yourself. 🫂
