Token, if the songs you write help You get rid of negative emotions, you should keep writing them and express your true feelings bro. You should never ever surrender. Try to enjoy life as much as possible because we have only one life, one chance and we have to respect it.

That's what happens when you let someone as talented as him in the room with no way to get in. Cus as soon as he starts spittin, we all know what's about to happen
Hey Token (or whoever is managing his youtube channel). I'm the kind of guy to upvote comments but not to really leave one. Most of the time it's because idk what to say. But when i heard the part where you talk about your fans, it hit me. So here i am. I think you don't know the impact you have on people. You songs mean a lot to many of us (the silent part of you audience). I don't want to do the typical "long comment" that you see in some comments but hey just wanna let you know that your music is not meaningless for a lot of people (i guess). And i just wanna say thank you for that !
What’s the name of the first girl in the video? The girl you’re cheating on your old lady with? She looks familiar, but I can’t put my finger on it. Any help?
I keep coming back to this song, year after year. The energy and emotion in this song are powerful and startling relatable. There's plenty of darker songs to balance the lighter ones, but more tnan dark, this song is just real. Its like a snapshot of life when depression grabs you & you deeply disaccoiate and feel deeply alone and nothing in life can seem to wake you up from this weird waking dream or make you feel something
Favorite token song right here. It exemplifies one of the reasons token is needed in the game rn. These beautiful, lyrically concentrated songs are too few and far between in hip hop rn Great job man and thank you
I've heard this song over n over and everytime I do I can see the pain in your eyes and hear the pain in your lyrics. I can't tell you that everything's gonna be alright but shit take as much time as you need to get yourself in the right headspace, I'm sure more than just myself would understand yo.
Just because someone has lil in their name or how bad you find their music if they are making numbers, there is a reason for that. Even 2 years ago. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean it’s bad. It’s all up to opinions at that point.
Megalouis100 *Hey! I’m a huge fan of Token and really appreciate your comment! A lot of music sucks nowadays and it’s important for artists like Token to be around. I’m an aspiring artist myself and I just released some songs. I would really appreciate it if you could come to my channel to check it out! Thanks!* 🙋🏼♀️❤️
I feel like I should respectfully disagree. I think the song is amazing but I think what's beautiful about it is that it shows his lack of wisdom and naievete. He talks about how his pastor asks if he's faithful and he says yes but he leads into how he's so greatful he didn't ask what he was faithful too. I'm not saying non-religion is unwise but he's showing how he has foul habits or a morally poor lifestyle. As well as when he talks about how he treats his girlfriend. He exposes himself and makes himself vulnerable during this song and I think him showing his lack of wisdom and naievete is a great idea for a song and it's masterfully executed. But I think the song is meant to be appreciated for much more vulnerable reasons than just him showing his wisdom through clever lyricism.
@Lucas Newell I can understand what you mean but I think it has the opposite effect on me. I'm not a super fan by any means I think the past couple singles havent been very good but this song means I lot more I feel. I love the idea he had with this song and I think the fact he went through with it makes him a lot more real than other rappers
Zart not even close, ASAP Rocky and countless others are way better, granted they have higher budgets but tokens are very minimal and many are the same in my opinion
MAC Asap constantly talks about how he loves his music as his art and wants to put as much as he can into it because it’s his entire life, I’m not tryin knock token or anything just saying this is no where near a quality music video in my opinion much like his other music videos, just really simple edits to me honestly
@@lukeglover5623 Just checked it out, ASAP has nice videos but they are all just flexing his shit and stuff. Tokens videos have a story and are not only just him doing stuff with his money and having the vocals synced with the video. Tokens videos are simple and still meaningful, that's what I meant.
I dont know if someone noticed this but in the begining of the vídeo you can see the jacket of the firefigthers that knock on his door in the end of the vídeo, this meaning that maybe they helped him at first and extinguished the fire but he keeps remembering of the things that put up the fire in the first place and maybe those problems are still “lit” so no matter how much “postmails” (in paper not the virtual ones like emails, he makes a strong point on the postman in the end)we/family/etc send to him showing him love, it is only gonna fuel the fire that he has because right now, all he needs is “no service”.
@@whatthefuckisthis7 Eh they share the same style of either being wild and goofy or going on an angry flow. They both rely heavily on lyric play and fast rapping. It's just that Em is more depressing and Token is more fun. If rap was a football team, they are both runningbacks that handle the ball a little different lol.
Token is the real deal! The only difference between rappers in my eyes, is the voice and the message. Token has an awesome tone, rhythm and a meaningful story yall!
Make sure you take good care of yourself, okay? Eat, drink, sleep. Talk to people you're close with, make new connections. Be judgemental, trust only the people your gut is telling you to trust. Have a checkup with a physician to make sure you're still healthy. But most of all, have time to yourself and to your family. These are only suggestions, but I do truly hope that you're doing well. I could never imagine the struggle you face with everything. My best wishes are with you, and I'll stop by as much as I have time to do so, to leave positive feedback. I've been a fan for so long, and I feel as if I selfishly listened to your music and disregarded you as a human. It took this song to make me realize that you're a person too, and you need love, kindness, and empathy. All of us do. Take care, and take it easy. Much love, Shelly
Oh. My. God. This is absolutely amazing. This is the 2nd song I've heard from you (just came from the sway freestyle) and I'm hooked. You are insanely good. I had chills this entire song. Wow.
Token...Hands down the best thing to happen to music lately man. This song knows how to hit people who know real music. Feelings man. #1 artist in my books right now.
I saw you in Milwaukee and the fact you told us this is the most important song to you on this project means everything to me. This song is musical genius

Sometimes I have panic attacks and i thought I couldn’t say how it feels like until I listened to this song. It’s the feeling of my attacks and that hit me hard. I love you token
Token is one of the best rappers know to date. From all this new rap shit he actually has talent and emotion in his songs that make you feel what he feels.
Ik how it feels.Just hold on a little longer.Probably things will change...I guess...At least i just want to believe they will.Else is this life even worth living if things dont change...?sigh
I saw your first show in NY and was lucky enough to afford the meet and greet too. A person like you, Token, is the reason I feel expressing myself is worth it. A person like you makes me feel that having the soul of an artist is a gift and not a curse. At the concert you sat down and wanted everyone to rightfully pay close attention as you sang this song. You shed a few tears but that only made your performance better. You’re a true rapper, a true MC, a true artist. I hope this comment finds its way to you. Thank you Token
@@jackrodgers4690 I think it was good, overall a good album but some songs were lackluster and didn't have a lot of replay value but i find UA-cam rapper to be one of the best there
i really underrestimated Token, i saw him in my recommended, and after 10 seconds i thought he was a "wannabe NF" then i heard "Exception" and i realized how hard i underrestimated him. This guy raps lyrics lyrics and lyrics.
Wannabe NF, that's a new one. Guess NF is going meainstream :P BTW, NF used to be called Wannabe Em, now Token getting called Wannabe NF - I really can't wait to see the guy about to get called Wannabe Token :D

Yo forreal tho, I've struggled with depression and mental disorders my entire life and this kid right here has just as much to deal with, and when I listen to his songs I feel this huge amount of inspiration. I wish I could meet this nigga just to tell him how alike we are mentally. Keep it up, Token!!
Because people are so fucking retarded in this world that they are brain washed and only like mubble rap trash and don't apreciate good rappers like token and tom macdonald

Verse 1
Before my grandpa died, he called me
Only to remind me every day above the ground is a blessing
I didn't pick up because I was underground in the basement, in a session
No service, yeah, no service
I act like I miss home even though I started writing raps really only to escape it
Only part of travel that I look forward to is the plane ride
Give me space and no service, no service
I won't go to service for mom, won't go to service for dad
Grandma think I need religion, sister think that is a trap
When I saw the rabbi, he asked me if I'm faithful
I said "Yeah, I'm faithful"
Thank God, thank God, thank God he didn't ask what I'm faithful to
My girl pray like she faithful
She pray, pray that I'm faithful
But no matter what I really say, but no matter what I really do
Everything that I say isn't true, everything that I say is a fight
She think that I only wanna fight, but I do not wanna fight with her
I just wanna see how much fight, how much fight she got in her
How much trust she got in her? How many tours I go on?
How many times will I slip? How many chances I get?
How much love she got in her? How much trust she got in her?
How much left she got in her? How many times I bought dinner?
How much cash can I spare?

No service

No one thinks I need nourishment

No one thinks I need encouragement
No one thinks I need a visit
No one thinks I need a favor
No one at my doorstep except packages delivered by a stranger
Mailman at my house more than anybody that I know today
But I never shared a word with him
Shit, I don't even know his name
I wonder how much he infer about me
From the fan mail and those words about me
Expensive clothes, new phones, humidifiers, microphones
European outlet adapters
And shirts in buckets, CDs and both that refer about me
He probably knows me better than my friends
I bet he never even heard about me
When I'm home, I don't tell a soul
Only management and that label know
My fans say they wanna take my soul
But sometimes I think that they care the most
My fans only wanna hear my heart
I give it up like this shit ain't in my flesh
I give it up, give it up, give it up

Everything that I say isn't true, everything that I say is a fight
She think that I only wanna fight, but I do not wanna fight with her
I just wanna see how much fight, how much fight she got in her
How much trust she got in her? How many tours I go on?
How many times will I slip? How many chances I get?
How much love she got in her? How much trust she got in her?
How much left she got in her? How many times I bought dinner?
How much cash can I spare?
This meal cost like one fifty
And I'ma flip a fucking chair if I get no service

Waitress: Are you guys all set to order?
Token: Yeah, uh, you wanna go first?

"Do not disturb" sign on that door handle for the cleaning lady
I want no service, yeah, no service
I write about the shit I think about every single day
Fans say it takes so much courage
My boy just got back from the military
I never said "Thank you for your service"
No service
No one thinks I need guidance
No one thinks I need nourishment
Two thousand comments on my last post
No one thinks I need encouragement
No one thinks I need a visit
No one thinks I need a favor
No one at my doorstep except packages delivered by a stranger
Mailman at my house more than anybody that I know today
But I never shared a word with him
Shit, I don't even know his name
I wonder how much he infer about me
From the fan mail and those words about me
Expensive clothes, new phones, humidifiers, microphones
European outlet adapters
And shirts in buckets, CDs and both that refer about me
He probably knows me better than my friends
I bet he never even heard about me
When I'm home, I don't tell a soul
Only management and that label know
My fans say they wanna take my soul
But sometimes I think that they care the most
My fans only wanna hear my heart
I give it up like this shit ain't in my flesh
I give it up, give it up, give it up
Momma said "What if one day there's just nothin' left?"
That made me wonder who's after my soul?
Shit, do I even believe in a soul?
Maybe I'm just overthinking it all
Probably just overthinking it all
Monday 8 AM, outta bed, hit the gym
Leave the gym, find the flow, one day
Used to feel like a brand new beginning, now it don't
No complaints, old friend at the gym I ignored

Knock, knock at the door, leave me alone
I don't wanna see no motherfuckin' postman

been over a year now.. still chills everytime from this track.
his own lyrics set the room on fire..mad!

That's what happens when you let someone as talented as him in the room with no way to get in. Cus as soon as he starts spittin, we all know what's about to happen
Word!💯🔥
Your line about your boy getting back from the military.. back home but still fighting the war.. felt that in my soul..
Hey Token (or whoever is managing his youtube channel). I'm the kind of guy to upvote comments but not to really leave one. Most of the time it's because idk what to say. But when i heard the part where you talk about your fans, it hit me. So here i am.
I think you don't know the impact you have on people. You songs mean a lot to many of us (the silent part of you audience).
I don't want to do the typical "long comment" that you see in some comments but hey just wanna let you know that your music is not meaningless for a lot of people (i guess).
And i just wanna say thank you for that !
@@rawrsome123 me too :3
Thanks for saying that
@@rawrsome123 more need to listen, not find what's convenient.
What’s the name of the first girl in the video? The girl you’re cheating on your old lady with? She looks familiar, but I can’t put my finger on it. Any help?
Thankyou I'm sorry too
Damnnnn, this got a lot deeper than I thought it would. I feel this track. Keep it up. You got this.
Token spit so much flame he burned down his own video shoot
*Yo fella i Got some hiphop stuff would you mine to check my last song out PC*
My favourite track from the album got a video? Nice
Whenever Token releases something, who else stops what they're doing to go check it out?
Brinx ✊🏻
🤘
I keep coming back to this song, year after year. The energy and emotion in this song are powerful and startling relatable. There's plenty of darker songs to balance the lighter ones, but more tnan dark, this song is just real. Its like a snapshot of life when depression grabs you & you deeply disaccoiate and feel deeply alone and nothing in life can seem to wake you up from this weird waking dream or make you feel something
The very first line hit me so damn hard. I've had to of listened to this song 50x by now.
Nice work Token.
Favorite token song right here. It exemplifies one of the reasons token is needed in the game rn. These beautiful, lyrically concentrated songs are too few and far between in hip hop rn
Great job man and thank you
100%
Honesty is relatable. Relatability sells.
A very fucking lot
Able to get tech on a song so it plays VERY WELL.
Agreed. Harder to market though.
It also kills.
It also creates love.
This goes crazy🔥
The instrumental is godly
The end made me cry, my heartstrings was playing along to the song.
This one hit right in the feels homie, raw authenticity, real shit. Keep on creating, never stop learning and growing, you’re killing it man.
He isn’t the next Eminem, he’s the first Token
this is not a original comment, its a stolen one
Shadow yes but I’m sharing awareness so people can stop asking him to live up to impossible expectations
I didn’t say he can’t, but he could’ve at least changed it up or something
Nice
Aye I like that he isn’t the next Eminem he is the first token that’s great to hear that
You are insane mate, love the story telling!
I've heard this song over n over and everytime I do I can see the pain in your eyes and hear the pain in your lyrics. I can't tell you that everything's gonna be alright but shit take as much time as you need to get yourself in the right headspace, I'm sure more than just myself would understand yo.
This dude's always making hits! Never disappointing !
It shows how dead "real hip hop" with meaning is when you look at the number of views of this vs trash like LIL"INSERT NAME HERE"
New music is overrated
Damn Brad I didn't know you liked undergroup rap. Developer with great music taste.
Fr
Funny how 6ix9ine doing 5-10 times the numbers compared to this guy
Just because someone has lil in their name or how bad you find their music if they are making numbers, there is a reason for that. Even 2 years ago. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean it’s bad. It’s all up to opinions at that point.
Finally, a unique artist who says things most people are too scared to bring up or talk about. Spectacular job, very well done.

Megalouis100 *Hey! I’m a huge fan of Token and really appreciate your comment! A lot of music sucks nowadays and it’s important for artists like Token to be around. I’m an aspiring artist myself and I just released some songs. I would really appreciate it if you could come to my channel to check it out! Thanks!* 🙋🏼♀️❤️
The vid just increeses the amout of emotion the feels are real
*Yo fellas i Got some hiphop stuff would you mine to check my last song out*
@@strangermusiq3982 yo bruh i checked you out, you got some good stuff. Congrats on a new sub XD
This is beautiful and relatable. Being successful is a lonely path at times. The wordplay here is 11/10
Age really doesn't matter when it comes to wisdom and knowledge, Token sees what other dont and makes a beautiful song like this...Amazing!
I feel like I should respectfully disagree. I think the song is amazing but I think what's beautiful about it is that it shows his lack of wisdom and naievete. He talks about how his pastor asks if he's faithful and he says yes but he leads into how he's so greatful he didn't ask what he was faithful too. I'm not saying non-religion is unwise but he's showing how he has foul habits or a morally poor lifestyle. As well as when he talks about how he treats his girlfriend. He exposes himself and makes himself vulnerable during this song and I think him showing his lack of wisdom and naievete is a great idea for a song and it's masterfully executed. But I think the song is meant to be appreciated for much more vulnerable reasons than just him showing his wisdom through clever lyricism.
@Lucas Newell I can understand what you mean but I think it has the opposite effect on me. I'm not a super fan by any means I think the past couple singles havent been very good but this song means I lot more I feel. I love the idea he had with this song and I think the fact he went through with it makes him a lot more real than other rappers
Token always has the best music videos.
Zart not even close, ASAP Rocky and countless others are way better, granted they have higher budgets but tokens are very minimal and many are the same in my opinion
@@lukeglover5623 the video doesn't matter, I just think he focuses on music more than asap and others
MAC Asap constantly talks about how he loves his music as his art and wants to put as much as he can into it because it’s his entire life, I’m not tryin knock token or anything just saying this is no where near a quality music video in my opinion much like his other music videos, just really simple edits to me honestly
MAC also we were on the topic of the music videos so yeah it does kinda matter haha
@@lukeglover5623
Just checked it out, ASAP has nice videos but they are all just flexing his shit and stuff. Tokens videos have a story and are not only just him doing stuff with his money and having the vocals synced with the video. Tokens videos are simple and still meaningful, that's what I meant.
I dont know if someone noticed this but in the begining of the vídeo you can see the jacket of the firefigthers that knock on his door in the end of the vídeo, this meaning that maybe they helped him at first and extinguished the fire but he keeps remembering of the things that put up the fire in the first place and maybe those problems are still “lit” so no matter how much “postmails” (in paper not the virtual ones like emails, he makes a strong point on the postman in the end)we/family/etc send to him showing him love, it is only gonna fuel the fire that he has because right now, all he needs is “no service”.
Truthmás yooo..🔥🔥 thats spot on..💯 this is the first song i heard from token..electrifying..🙌☝
The mail man is the one who called them cuz token didnt pick up the package one time
Is that rugged man?
Or where is his dad.. did anyone ever ask that?
@@vibethrughlife7320 he goes over that in somewhere inbetween
I see more people saying “Stop calling him the next Eminem” than people actually calling him Eminem. Fire song tho 🔥
this. So much this
Lol
Yee he is not eminem , but this two rapper are my fav
Damn...
This was deep and very relatable
Amazing track token. Massive respect 🤜
I know bro gave me the feels hit home the vid dose a amazing job fits so well
Man I love Token. It’s like when Em does his “real” raps, but Token is more relatable and much easier to have compassion on.
Chris Petersen I hate when people compare him to em, it’s literally only because they’re both white.
@@whatthefuckisthis7 Eh they share the same style of either being wild and goofy or going on an angry flow. They both rely heavily on lyric play and fast rapping. It's just that Em is more depressing and Token is more fun. If rap was a football team, they are both runningbacks that handle the ball a little different lol.
Whenever token drops a song we all know its a banger.
This more of a head hanger than a banger
Token is the real deal! The only difference between rappers in my eyes, is the voice and the message. Token has an awesome tone, rhythm and a meaningful story yall!
Make sure you take good care of yourself, okay? Eat, drink, sleep. Talk to people you're close with, make new connections. Be judgemental, trust only the people your gut is telling you to trust. Have a checkup with a physician to make sure you're still healthy. But most of all, have time to yourself and to your family. These are only suggestions, but I do truly hope that you're doing well. I could never imagine the struggle you face with everything.
My best wishes are with you, and I'll stop by as much as I have time to do so, to leave positive feedback.
I've been a fan for so long, and I feel as if I selfishly listened to your music and disregarded you as a human. It took this song to make me realize that you're a person too, and you need love, kindness, and empathy. All of us do.
Take care, and take it easy.
Much love,
Shelly
Thanks mom
Sounds like Token needs a Lady like you.
Easier said than done
Rudy Garcia chill dumbass
@Jackson O'Connor Yosemite Sam, busting off those shots! Nice.
Song and lyrics are so fire that the ending just combusted into flames ....
When you zone out while she's ordering......I felt that
Damn token. Hope you're okay man
I know. There seems to be more focus on production rather than the message.
Yeah fr, kinda pisses me off that the only thing people take away from this song is that it's well made
Agreed
We got another Chester on our hands...
That was intense. Good shit, bro.
Oh. My. God.
This is absolutely amazing. This is the 2nd song I've heard from you (just came from the sway freestyle) and I'm hooked. You are insanely good. I had chills this entire song. Wow.
Listen to 'exception' and 'happiness'
Token...Hands down the best thing to happen to music lately man. This song knows how to hit people who know real music. Feelings man. #1 artist in my books right now.
Never stop. You are a beautiful soul.
This is some real lyrical music out here!!
Love it!
This song is my biggest inspiration from my favorite artist right now.
I saw you in Milwaukee and the fact you told us this is the most important song to you on this project means everything to me. This song is musical genius
Token is my probably gonna be my #1 for 2019.
And the rest of life till i die
one of the most impactful and meaningful songs of 2019, already calling it!
[Verse 1]
Before my grandpa died, he called me
Only to remind me every day above the ground is a blessing
I didn't pick up because I was underground in the basement, in a session
No service, yeah, no service
I act like I miss home even though I started writing raps really only to escape it
Only part of travel that I look forward to is the plane ride
Give me space and no service, no service
I won't go to service for mom, won't go to service for dad
Grandma think I need religion, sister think that is a trap
When I saw the rabbi, he asked me if I'm faithful
I said "Yeah, I'm faithful"
Thank God, thank God, thank God he didn't ask what I'm faithful to
My girl pray like she faithful
She pray, pray that I'm faithful
But no matter what I really say, but no matter what I really do
Everything that I say isn't true, everything that I say is a fight
She think that I only wanna fight, but I do not wanna fight with her
I just wanna see how much fight, how much fight she got in her
How much trust she got in her? How many tours I go on?
How many times will I slip? How many chances I get?
How much love she got in her? How much trust she got in her?
How much left she got in her? How many times I bought dinner?
How much cash can I spare?

Not sing songy with super catchy hooks to hide the lack of content. Just pure lyrics with a simple melody to evoke emotion. This is art
Token is one of the best rappers know to date. From all this new rap shit he actually has talent and emotion in his songs that make you feel what he feels.
2:17 Feel tough when you feel part of those words.
Ik how it feels.Just hold on a little longer.Probably things will change...I guess...At least i just want to believe they will.Else is this life even worth living if things dont change...?sigh

I saw your first show in NY and was lucky enough to afford the meet and greet too. A person like you, Token, is the reason I feel expressing myself is worth it. A person like you makes me feel that having the soul of an artist is a gift and not a curse. At the concert you sat down and wanted everyone to rightfully pay close attention as you sang this song. You shed a few tears but that only made your performance better. You’re a true rapper, a true MC, a true artist. I hope this comment finds its way to you. Thank you Token
He speaks from the heart and I like that
