    Sad truth is that many parent's reactions in this scenario would be to punish their "disrespectful" and "ungrateful" children for speaking to them like that.

    The whole concept of this song is incredible, and the music video makes it hit even harder. What a deep song.

    A role model I could run to
    When I feel lost and I'm confused and I'm outta touch with my young roots
    I need confidence, all that I can get
    And I love you and your common sense
    'Cause lately, I've been tryna live this thug life and I'm not convinced
    Look, I love how you handle your own
    Glad you are the king to your own castle
    You handle life when it's thrown at you
    Never curl up, never 'fo fragile, I need you to be here, regardless
    Teach me how to be there for my kids
    Show me how to be fearless often, I need real guidance, I am scared of options
    Because of you, I've got a clearer conscience
    Because of you, I'm not scared of monsters
    Because of you, I'm not afraid of failure
    My life was blurry, you made it clearer
    And God forbid, if you died now
    I know that I'll be well taken care of
    I know you'll be there waiting for me
    I felt that

    Man... For those of us who use to be one of these children growing up this song hits different. Growing up around heroin, meth, alcoholism, pills, violence, gang shit definitely made being a kid one of the hardest stages. I use to run the streets and would fear coming home because I knew what I was coming back to. It shut me down and turned me non-social. Some people would look at me like what's wrong with him, or he's weird. Little did they know about the hard knock life and because of that life I keep my head held high and extend my hand to lift others up. I love who I've become. I've made mistakes along the way but I love who I am. Hopefully you all can say the same about yourselves too.

    • @DPaSStudios
      @DPaSStudios 7 년 전 +1

      Jay Edge plenty of artists make more than he does. Does that automatically make them better? Hopsin is incapable of creating a good album and is a huge waste of potential. Corniest rapper alive. And you're right, just cause I don't like a rapper it doesn't mean he's trash. Hopsin is just trash

    • @DPaSStudios

    Not a lot of people gave attention to this , but in 0:09 we can see a scene from The Spongebob Movie, a movie which its message goes as it doesnt matter if your too young or too weak, if you belive in yourself you can do it, the same message Joyner is going for in the song.
    Great job joyner for these extra details, i must say he is doing a great job directing.
