I served 7 yrs in the U.S. army and life smacked me hard in the face where I lost it all. Financial stability, social status, pride, family values, mental health you name it. This song helps me get back into the fight.
Write all that stuff down where you can see it. Keep working them everyday and the Sky's the Limit. (Had to ref Lil Wayne, that's another motivational joint)
To everyone here it’s amazing to hear our stories and it’s pushed me to tell you mines Born 1987 dad left me 2007 mom died of cancer 2011 second daughter born later found out she was autistic 2013 son was born also autistic 2015 diagnosed with heart condition 2019 childhood best friend murdered Countless jobs I was let go Grew up in rough neighborhoods and projects Saw gun violence like a lot of you and death of friends. Yet I’m still here...have faith and let that pain drive you because there are those who believe in you. God bless you all.
@@Tdawg79776 Ivan forced Balboa to retire by way of brain damage.He broke him.Mentally too,look how he was in the showers at the start of Rocky 5,of course Rocky "got up" eventually like he always does. Viktor did the same to Adonis in the first fight.
Funny story bout that..during the filming..Stallone wanted the shit to be real..when u see them slugging the hell out each other the reason it looks so convincing is cuz they were actually whaling on each other Stallone hit lundgren so hard he pissed him the fuck off and hit Stallone so hard in return he gave him a legit concussion..same shit with the expendables scene with stone cold that scene where he spears him into the wall he legit separated his shoulder Stallone had to go to the hospital dudes one tough SOB for real
This is my favorite track composed of DMX. I find myself coming back to this track before I get my grind on or workout in. DMX isn't in heaven because of what he knew but Who he knew.
It will be my National Anthem of Motivational Theme whenever I start working out and doing my art work. RIP DMX and thanks for the message with rap songs.
I get tears in my eyes within the first 30 seconds or right before DMX starts spitting. I can’t begin to tell you with the Rocky franchise from the first one all the way to creed two, how it just moves my soul
@@Rengekyo01 yes sir!!! I now mentor young men going through cancer treatment. Darker the times, the brighter we shine. Never lose hope, faith, love or your sense of humor. We are not victims, we are VICTORS. I love all of you and appreciate your thoughts and kind words!!!
@@7ofhearts2ofspades56 so happy to hear that my man and I have the upmost respect for you never stop! God chosen you to help spread the light . Peace upon you 🙏🏿
I was hit by a truck back on march 1st 2017. Before I listened to this I used that as an excuse for anything I could. Now I look at it as life hitting me and it’s time to move forward
Dmx was speaking through his songs. When I was younger, I just liked that his music made me feel hyped up, but he was crying out for help through it all. I hear you dmx 🙏🏿
Lyrics : DMX - Who We Be (Creed 2 Soundtrack Full Song) This here is all about: My wife, my kids (uh-huh), the life that I live (uh-huh) Through the night, I was his (uh-huh), it was right, but I did (uh-huh) My ups, and downs (uhh), my slips, my falls (uhh) My trials and tribulations (uhh), my heart, my balls (uhh) My mother, my father, I love 'em, I hate 'em (uhh!) Wish God, I didn't have 'em, but I'm glad that he made 'em (uhh!) The roaches, the rats, the strays, the cats (what, what?!) The guns, knives and bats, everytime we scrap The hustlin', the dealin', the robbin', the stealin' (uhh!) The shit, hit the ceiling', little boy, with no feelings (damn) The frustration, rage, trapped inside a cage Got beatin's 'til the age, I carried a twelve gauge What they don't know is: The bullshit, the drama (uhh), the guns, the armour (uhh!) The city, the farmer, the babies, the mama (what?!) The projects, the drugs (uhh!), the children, the thugs (uhh!) The tears, the hugs, the love, the slugs (c'mon!) The funerals, the wakes, the churches, the coffins (uhh!) The heartbroken mothers, it happens, too often (why?!) The problems, the things, we use, to solve 'em (what?!) Yonkers, the Bronx (uhh!), Brooklyn, Harlem (c'mon!) The hurt, the pain, the dirt, the rain (uhh!) The jerk, the fame, the work, the game (uhh!) The friends, the foes, the Benz, the hoes (what?!) The studios, the shows, comes, and it goes (c'mon!) The jealousy, the envy, the phony, the friendly (uh-huh!) The one that gave 'em the slugs, the one that put 'em in me (whoo!) The snakes, the grass, too long, to see (uhh, uhh!) The lawnmower, sittin', right next, to the tree (c'mon!) This here is all about: My wife, my kids (uh-huh), the life that I live (uh-huh) Through the night, I was his (uh-huh), it was right, but I did (uh-huh) My ups, and downs (uhh), my slips, my falls (uhh) My trials and tribulations (uhh), my heart, my balls (uhh) The streets, the cops, the system, harassment (uh-huh) The options, get shot, go to jail, or getcha ass kicked (aight) The lawyers, the part, they are, of the puzzle (uh-huh) The release, the warning, "Try not, to get in trouble" (damn!) The fightin', the stabbin', the pullin', the grabbin' (what?!) The riot squad with the captain, nobody knows what happened (what?!) The two years in a box, revenge, the plots (uhh!) The twenty-three hours that's locked, the one hour that's not.
'The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you therefore permanently." - Rocky Balboa My favorite part
I was a suicidal alcoholic who was addicted to percicet, 3 months pill free and now I only drink socially once every few months. No matter how dark your world is I promise you there is a way out. It starts with you, it's no one's fault but yours, but that also means you can pick yourself up.
I listen to this because it reminds me of how I've come back from defeat, reminds me of the people who didn't think I'd survive or make it this far. Stay true to yourself and keep going.
Would love to know how much DMX collects in royalties on an annual basis. His music is used in so many movies and entertainment venues around the world.
Had a pretty serious dirtbike accident a few weeks ago and spent a few nights in hospital,this song has gotten me back out on the bikes and keener then ever,it’s not about how hard you hit it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward,remember that.
I checked just one or two hour ago in the google about DMX! it said "DMX "is" an American rapper! Now I just checked a minute ago and now it says DMX "was" an American rapper! This is killing me! He was still alive an hour ago! it all made me realize how short life is and it's all temporary! pleasures and pains! I'll taste death one day! so the rest of you all! #PRAYERS! #RIP 😧😞
I’ve been hitting a low pint recently and I had leave kickboxing for work, life, school responsibilities. And honestly y’all it affected my mental health more than I would have imagined but hearing this got me to do road work again and feel that same feeling all those years back when I was a teenager competing again. I know it’s a bit pointless but I need to vent and this has me believing in myself again.
Dad died unexpectedly, my best friend is gone, nothing in life will be harder than that was literally nothing. Pain is fuel and I have an endless supply, the quote is true life will beat you to your knees if you let it..... but i wont quit on pops he wont let me. Stay strong everyone
Everytime when i feeling sad/depressed i put my headphones on and listen to this song. It really helps me to feeling better - exeptional Rocky's Wisdom! Let me tell you my story: Well guys ... - the first time it was, when i wrote my bachelor thesis and thought that i wont make it. In the End i finished it somehow with a huge support from family and friends. Oh i forgot - in that time, i was in love with a girl (first love and i was 26 and virgin), till i found out that the girl i fall in love was already in a relationship with an other guy for 8 years. - The second time, when i graduated my Bachelor in 2020 and i didn't found a job and asking myself: "Why always me? I don't want to play victim somehow" - The third time, I lost my job the first time in 2022 - fuck i am in a relationship right now, i have to make it somehow to offer my girl (second love and i was 28) some safety. To Show her that i won't give up. - The forth time, I lost my job (I've moved to an other city for the job - 200km far away from my girl) for the second time on the last day in my trial time. In the same evening i story my girl (second love - semi long distance relationship) and after a long discussion, she told me that she don't want to deal with my problems anymore. She had her own problems (father had cancer for the third time and her family and friends are more important to her then me "all the sudden"). - The fifth time, three months after she left me, i met a known person and that person told me everything. My Ex just moved on way to fast and just after 2 weeks she had sex with the guy before our time. Well that guy still texted und sexted her while we have been in a relationship. I found it out after a few months - well i forgave her but i told her to stop texting him (she didn't). Well till today she already dated 5 other guys and had sex with them. I don't understand it. After her last break up after 3 years (Some guys before my time) of relationship she takes one year time and do nothing - no dating and no sex. Long Story short - i know that sounds more like a first world problem, but what i am try to tell you is: DON'T GIVE UP. Everytime when i got depressed or thinking about to kill myself ... well i couldn't ... someone or something is still holding me back and telling me: Dude! It's not your time yet to leave this world. PS: My English got a little bit rusty and i got a little bit too emotional. I hope i can help or motivate someone who reads this. Love and Peace X
Being a loner from Russia , this speaks to me they made me become a hybrid. A response to being a somebody I wanted to be a leader and I got it. I wanted to be free and I’m not there yet, but I have a princess way better then anyone on earth.
