62 years old and my second oldest son shared this song with me. We are both struggling to deal with the death of my eldest son, his big brother in December. The lyrics broke my heart all over again, but helped me release some of the pain bottled up inside. Thank you for writing these amazing lyrics. I hope you know how much Jordan and I miss you Shane.
For what it’s worth, I do too. Sometimes I get in moods where I just get mad and blue and everything sucks. I don’t want to do drugs because I know that ain’t gonna help. I can be around friends, and it still ain’t enough. I still have yet to get over this hill, but until then, I guess I just gotta live with it. I wish you guys the best. It’s not easy, but your depression and anxiety don’t define you, believe it or not. God bless.

I met KRIT two months after my 5 year old died in 2010. He was playing at the Rock House and my Homeboy insisted that I go to see the man whose song “Something” that played on repeat in the days after my son Kalib died. Just my son Jakai and I listening to KRIT as Soul Food to help us bare losing Kalib. As I type this Jakai died at the age of 18 in September 2021 ..Now here I sit a childless mother playing these songs yet again in search of some food for my famished soul. KRIT your music has provided the sound track for some of my hardest days. ✊🏿

I cry every time I hear it. I lost my wife to COVID April 24th. She was my everything, my twin flame and soulmate, my best and only friend, my dream girl. I won the real lotto getting to be so close to her. She is still all of those things because even though she’s passed from this world I still feel her love everyday. I’m gonna be alone the rest of my life because no girl could measure up to her and I couldn’t ever get physical or romantic with anyone else, those aspects of me belong to her and always have and will. I have to hold on to hope and faith that I’ll be reunited with her and all the family and friends I’ve lost. Anyone reading this please hold your significant other tight and close and give them a kiss and tell them what they mean to you, some of us can’t do that anymore and feel blessed they are still in your life.
I can’t believe KRIT never blew up the way I thought he was going to blow up but I’m glad he didn’t because that makes me appreciate his work that much more
Thank you for your service. It saved mine too a few days ago. I lost my wife April 24th this year to COVID and it gets harder everyday. She was my everything. I didn’t believe in soulmates until I met mine. She was the brightest spot in a dark life. Whoever reads this please hold your significant other close and tight and kiss them and look them in the eyes and tell them what they mean to you and how much and why you love them. Do it for you and them and do it for those of us that can’t do that anymore. Write them poems from the heart and get them flowers and surprise them with their favorite food and gifts that have meaning and can be used to make whatever experiences you have together that much more meaningful.
Yea I just heard of him last week. I kinda don't like how that happened but better late than never. I don't know why some people act like it's everyones obligation to know about everything right when it happens lol. Some of us have lives, jobs and kids to worry about. But yea... dude is dope. From the tracks to the lyrics.
going through a really hard time after leaving an abusive relationship. I literally play this song all day everyday to keep me from psychologically breaking down. no bullshit. this song saves me
it also makes me think of my cousin she died young of sickle cell... so that part where he said he lost his friend.. and woke up screaming her name..that's how I feel .. rip Daraya it'll be 4 yrs this November and I still cry like a baby
+Shy Scham im very sorry for what your going through and what you continue to go through. but things get better. there is light at the end of the tunnel. i dont think your cousin would want you to be sad but instead i think she would want you to succeed and be happy. i hope everything goes well for you.
he made this song after his grandma passed...my mom passed a couple days ago. big krits keeping the soul in hip hop alive. thanks krit. i do feel what you were going through...
I put my problems Ina box beside my tightest rhymes. Under lock and key, buried deep off in my mind... and when it gets too full and I can’t close the lid.. I spazz on my family and closest friends.... The hairs raise and the tears fall....
"How can the devil take my brother if he close to me? When he was everything i wasn't but i hoped to be. I get a lil honest and i ask myself , if the time came would you save me if i asked for help?"
Lucid Soundz That's when you kno a real artist when you can see with your own 2 eyes in person he or she poor their heart and soul into their music!!!!!!!!!!
This song has been the theme of my year, I lost my mom, brother, and 2 best friends, anxiety and depression is so real…I’ve had days where I’ve questioned if I even wanna keep living but i owe it to my wife and myself. I know God has me still here for a reason
Sending you strength and comfort. I’ve recently lost my wife after 20 years and my 11 month old son and I are walking this path alongside you and everyone else going through it ❤
@@TheJoshuamcgowan I'm sorry for my delayed response, thank you so much for your encouraging words, I am truly sorry for your loss as well and my prayer is for strength and comfort to you also, I try to remind myself daily that God doesnt make mistakes and that we are all here for a short time so we must love hard while we're here. I know our loved ones want us to keep going and keep their legacy alive and through your heart and your son she lives on.❤
+Dierius Abby a lot of incredible artists will never reach a million views. at least a great record like this has a decent view count. We should just count ourselves lucky that we get to enjoy this.
+Brandon Warren "Who cares about life and the high’s and low’s Maybe I should write another song about pimps and hoes Cars and clothes, idol gods, golden calves, Louis scarves I do this for the love and it’s free of charge" I thought that part was deep, and when he said "When I need to see stars I just look above, to the Heavens"
This was the very first big K.R.I.T. song I’ve ever listened to. I was sitting down in front of the tv at a detention center waiting to get transferred to the juvenile correctional facility. Life and the highs and lows since then truly been something . Thanks K.R.I.T. for helping me get through some hard times .
I remember back in 2017 I was going thru depression to the point where it almost won.. I would play this song a lot during those times I felt life when it was playing. Can’t believe I almost took my own life … fast forward now I found myself I got a beautiful 1yr old baby girl. Coming back to this song .. man I’m glad I never did nothing permanent to a temporary situation. More life
Just outta nowhere this song came in my mind tonight. Hadn’t listen to it for a long time. Listened to it every day for probably a year minimum when this tape came out. Still as amazing as it was back then. Would listen to this and Red Eye over and over and over. God bless Big K.R.I.T.
Lil_DoobE I was thinking the same thing, but what's even more amazing and beautiful is how many people of different cultural backgrounds, colors, and upbringings this song has touched. That speaks more volumes than record sales. On his new album he says something about how social media negatively affects him, but I think he need to see this comment section because it will touch his soul to see what his work does for so many human beings all over the world.
Love his the type of energy he puts into his music and Life the good side of things and the negative side of things and he explains how the world is on different levels of life good and bad and shows you that we are all human beings and the different !! Shades of colors in our skin,.. It doesn't matter every body came from African Brothers
My closest friend just passed a month ago and everytime i hear this song it reminds me of all the times we shared bumping your music and how he introduced me to your music and this was one of the songs he played and now its got a even deeper connection to me now. Thank you krit for being a constant that helped make a connection with my brother
The vibrations at the beginning of this song gets me every time. I always have to play the song through once it start. There’s no skipping this verbal artwork.
Been a hip hop fan all my life and just got put on to KRIT! That’s the danger of being an older cat, 42, it’s easy to get stuck in the time warp of what you grow up listening to. Gotta keep an open mind.
We've never met, but you've helped me through many years KRIT. I'm blessed to have found your music so early in your career and just want to thank you for never giving up on yourself, I can't imagine the obstacles you've defeated to get where you are now.
Man it has nearly been a decade ago this song was released and this is still one of the realest songs i've heard in my life. Thanks Krit for blessing us with this.
My Wife and I lost our baby ten plus years ago and I remember the raw feelings I had when I heard the line about the mother losing her child, you struck a different chord my g. Especially as an artist, I felt that one deep; so appreciative of this song. I came here to leave a (new) comment only to realize I already did back in #2019. I really don’t care though. I love this song so much. When people I collaborate with who help direct/shoot my #videos ask me for my favorite music videos esthetics-wise, as examples - I send this to them 90% of the time, even when telling producers the sound I’m going for. Here I am, almost ten years later; still listening to this #timeless #song & #track in-addition to ANY #new material from you, #brother. Thank you so much for this one, Krit. Praying and believing one day we’ll collaborate. And even if we don’t, I’ll be coming back to this one; time and time again - for an undeniable, untouched level/depth of inexplainable inspiration. May GOD continue to bless you, my g 💪🏾✊🏾👏🏾🙏🏾💪🏾✊🏾👏🏾 In Grace, Jeremee Tyler.
***** just cuz he cried doesn't mean he's gay... In this case it means he connected with the lyrics and they made him think... If ur a fan of music you can connect and feel the same way the artist does...
one of the realist verses I've ever heard In a long time you can tell he perfected this rhyme and took his time with it now this is hip-hop at it's finest lyrically and the chorus hits right on spot
Still listen to this song regularly. "How could the devil take my brother if he's close to me, he was everything I wasn't but I hoped to be." My brother took his life while he was on the phone with me 3 years ago. It hit home like a ton of bricks....
Im at a critical point in life, that point where money doesnt motivate me, and where I want to be recognized for creativity and Innovation. This song explains my sentiments exactly. Krit, if you look at these comments, we love you good brother. Been rocking with you since "Krit wuz here". Peace.
+Jordan Clemons it will be hard man, its not easy. you may feel that way but for a lot of other people money is the only motive. money is the root of all evil man. corruption is hell dude. peace be with you on your journey.
Me and my brother played this song too my mom when she was sick she died 3 years later so this song means a lot too me every time I hear this song it brings me close too her 🙏🙏🙏
It's 2021 and this song is still 🔥🔥🔥 this song has literally saved my life before. My go to track when I need to find ways to get out from under my depression. "If it don't touch my soul, then I can't listen to it." 👑〽️
Songs so powerful, I just lost my two older brothers and we always played this song just cause it was good, but now I can't play with out feeling lost with out them.
I lost my two older sisters, and the list feeling never fully goes away, I'm not going to lie to you. But eventually you start to find your new path and they are always there guiding you. One day at a time.
