Joyner Lucas ft. Jelly Roll - "Best For Me" Official Music Video (Not Now I'm Busy) 

I sent this to my son who is a heroin addict and he drove to my house and grabbed and hugged me while he cried like never before. This was yesterday, he spent the night and I took him to rehab. I pray it works this time😢

I love and appreciate every one of yal. Thank you 🙏🏾 hopefully this helps you or your loved ones in some shape or form 💪🏽❤️

15 years of addiction 😢 1 Year 3 Months 19 Days Sober ❤

To all the people struggling trying to get sober. I pray for no more relapses 🙏

I spent 13 years of my life homeless on heroin in streets of Kensington in Philly. I have 7 years clean now and never thought I would see the day I got my life together. I'm extremely grateful to wake up everyday in the apartment I worked hard for with food in the fridge and not have to get high to feel better. I literally came from the gutter to where I am now. This song cuts deep Joyner and jelly roll did a great job on this one.

This is the anthem of millions of broken homes, millions of kids who needed a parent that was taken by drugs 💔

My brother n law is active in addiction I see how it effects my husband I pray he gets clean and for all of yall dealing with a friend or love one in addiction I pray they get clean

Coming up on 9 months clean, and I can't even begin to tell you what kind of impact your guys music has had on the recovery community. Please never stop what you do

This is what Hip Hop expression is all about making those uncomfortable songs. To empower communities and the people. Excellent job Joyner Lucas, Being a voice for the voiceless

Truly incredible bro.

My boyfriend and I got clean together 2/3/23 at home with a support group of miracle workers. Not easy but so worth it for everyone who said we could NEVER do it together. My dad was an alcoholic and I was so angry at him until I became an addict myself. He’s clean now bc he’s dead lol but I imagine he’d laugh at me saying that and call me an asshole and be super proud I broke free. Less judgment, more love. People just need help. So grateful to my family who loved me when I didn’t love myself. “Are you afraid to die? No. Then why are you so afraid to live?”

When this came out I was homeless, on drugs, and then jail. I now have a house, job, and husband. This song and “Clover Cage - In the Moment” are the two songs that helped get rid of my depression. I just want to send love to everyone and I want everyone to know things will get better. We are in this together..I love you 💕😊

Im an opiate addict. Clean for about 13 years now. Wife, kids, good job, all that. This shit made me tear up. Man yall are on a different level with music. From my soul, Thank you

I am 30 days clean after 15 years of drugs and my wife of 12 years is still out there getting high. Broken hearts can mend but takes patience. Please pray for her. As soon as I see her I'm taking her to detox by God's grace. Love you all. God bless and give me the strength Lord. 🙏

As a current addict, this is giving me the strength to change because I know how my friends feel, without me around, family is not the same life is not the same, like for the first time I had a voice speaking for me, and my sister listened ❤❤ she never listen to me. It's going to be a hard road for me, but what has killed everything in my life hasn't killed me. 1 day sober a million more to go I'm ready I got this. Thanks to y'all

Songs like this are what made me a fan of joyner. Storytelling from two different perspectives.

My wife and I were both lost in addiction for so long and now we're directors of a non profit organization helping people out of addiction and developing a relationship with God ❤ this song has so much truth in it and it's a instant classic ❤

I have 274 days clean from fentanyl today. I’m thankful for each one that I get and I’m grateful I was given the opportunity to get my life back before my addiction killed me.

Every single one of you commenting about your struggles, your addiction and your recovery are all amazing souls and deserve nothing but the best. One of your comments might just be the thing that helps someone save themselves and that’s a really beautiful thing. Keep going guys, you can do this.

Fuck did I cry, it’s like it was written for me and my brother ….breaks my heart in silence

12 years clean. Lost my little brother to an overdose 5 years ago. I've been on both sides of this, this song literally brought me to tears. Thank yall for speaking so much truth.

Having a dad who is battling addiction still, this song had me sobbing.. this song is so important and I’m so glad y’all made this. Thank you Jelly Roll and Joyner ❤️

Struggling myself and hearing this song has come at the right time

8,284 days (22 years, 8 months and 5 days) clean here! There is hope. 🙏🏻

Joyner rapping two different perspectives is a cheat code. Chills

this song hits home so fkn hard man. thank you for making this song.... there is a lot of people dealing with this world wide and you just impacted their lives in such a positive way. I've been a fan of jelly roll since the 10 minute freestyle was uploaded back when he was going to record in colt's studio down in owensboro, ky and i've been a fan of joyner for a long time as well. I'm just so fkn happy to see people making positive music in such dark times man. Proud of both of you and everyone that was involved in making this. well done everyone.

To every comment that is telling us your story. We are all proud of you and praying that y'all don't relapse. May God be by your side on your journey

14 months sober from hard drugs. Lord save my father now. He's still addicted and I need him. 💙🙏🏼

I'm literally pouring tears right now! Me and my fiance both got hooked on pain killers about 3 yrs ago! It got bad! I finally decided to to talk to God and ask for change and strength and he gave it to me! I'm 1 month clean and I'm eating healthy and fasting! But I'm literally hurting for my fiance! She can't seem to find it in herself to make that change with me and I see it tearing her apart every day! I'm here to tell anyone out there that's going through this that there is a way out! You have to manifest on it and pray for it and truly believe in yourself and just do it!!! God help all in need! Thank you jelly roll and Joyner Lucas! The world needed this one bad!!!!!!!

2 of the artists I been rolling with long before they ever blew up and only had like 100 thousand subscribers. Now they both huge and collaborating 🔥☠️

My grandson never gave up on his mom, even when he lived with me and we had not heard from my daughter for 14 months. Then she turned up again... and did not get clean, over and over and over again. At almost 45 years old, things changed. We had all given up. Five years later -- she has just gotten her first paid vacation at work and is living in the same apartment for almost 4 years, and is up for a second promotion, and keeps her car payment paid, cooks, and never goes out at night. phew! Miracles do happen. But it can be way, way down the road if they don't die. So live your life and put yourself FIRST -- You can be there for them, but you can't save them.

My mom has been homeless and struggling with addiction since I was 16. I’m 24 now and still feel like that confused 16 year old girl. She has been coming in and out of my life since and I just pray daily that God gives her another day to see. Just lost my pops so I’m even more confused now but I can’t let what my parents do/did be a reflection of my decisions. I gotta do what’s best for me 🖤

Two years clean, heavy alchoholic percocet and meth. My first child is due april 26th. Baby girl. I have my own house, cars, a killer support group and am almost off parole. Never thought id make it to seeing my life change for the better. Im on my way to everything ive ever hoped for.

My son is an addict. His addiction caught him 24 years in prison. Grieving the loss of a child who is still alive 💔

Deep song that hits hard. This is how music saves.❤

Im not gonna lie this had me tearing up. Very powerful song and visual. Hip hop has been lacking in this department and Joyner definitely filled the void. This should go #1

bro my name is Airik Lee I've lost everything good that God blessed me with I have 4 beautiful kids and I kept turning to drugs to fulfill a part of me that I thought was going to make me happy but did nothing besides make my life worse I've had a warrant for my arrest for two years now for missing court and not showing up when I was suppose too. After hearing this on replay I'm finally owning up to everything I did wrong. I'm about to turn myself in and pray to God that my kids can see and have a sober father figure that they can look up to thank you Joyner Lucas and Jelly Roll!!

This one hits hard !! I pray that anyone battling any addictions makes it out alive

Haven't teared up in years. I've been on both sides of addiction and both suck. But watching your hero destroy themselves and their family is worse.

As a grown man, this song put me tears, if you relate you relate. Joyner you’re one of the best on this planet, out here making real music.

"If you don't believe in yourself, then you'll never believe in somebody believing in you" 💯🔥

18 years as an alcoholic. Almost lost my life, my kids, and my wife. Next Thursday is 10 months sober. One day at a time. One moment at a time.

Wow 1st time I heard this song… wow is All I can say!! I thank God everyday for this amazing beautiful life I get to live now, even tho Ik I deserve to be dead. God and songs like this keep me going 3 yrs sober and counting!!❤

I dont post things but...I got tears streaming right now. My husband battled for 11 yrs. We went through it. He's now sober for 1yr 3months. We are healing now. I realize now that haven't ever really properly grieved all of the pressure and dispare the family went through trying to be understanding and encouraging yet balance trying to still maintain our sanity during those times. Didn't expect this song to hit like it did but the lyrics showing the honest real convo from both sides of the addiction those dealing with it and family really hit hard. I'm happy and celebrate his sobriety still shaking ptsd from some things but so grateful he decided to get help and love himself 1st so he could start to learn how to love us again. Prayers to all out there in it. There is a brighter day ahead.

I’ve been sober for almost 3 years. Your music helped me more than you know. I saw Jelly Roll in concert last year and I kid you not I’ve seen over 200 concerts and yours was the first one I have ever cried at. In 2021 I was listening to your music while I was out on a delivery and I came across this young woman who I thought at first was standing on a bridge that goes over a major highway just watching traffic but I soon realized she was on the other side of the guard rail looking for a moment to jump. I’ve never ripped my e-break so quickly in my whole life. I literally left my car in the middle of the road and I ran and put my arms around her and said “it’s not worth it”. I was able to convince her to come back over the railing to safety. If I hadn’t become sober I don’t think I would have even saw her so thank you for helping me become sober and helping me save someone’s life.

I'm battling my demons as we speak. My dad passed back in August and I tried to hold it in then I got laid off 2 weeks before my birthday and that was about it I exploded and I couldn't control life or my life anymore, I feel horribly about all of this because it's done damage to my marriage and my health and I just used the last of what I had and I'm going to try my warrior hardest to stay clean I think hope wish and pray that this is it I've been going hard to numb the pain for 4 straight months now and I'm sick of it. The disappointment alone kills me inside. Thank you for this direction I needed. Joyner and Jelly I appreciate and respect your lyrics more than any other now a days. Keep driving keep inspiring keep you! One love!!!

I spent years in addiction... It's a beast. I have almost 6 years clean this June 10th. I now have a beautiful and amazing daughter struggling with the beast... This song literally brought me to tears thinking about her. I've also lost so so many friends to this shit. Spending prayers and love to everyone struggling

I just celebrating 12 years clean after living 12 years in Kensington Philadelphia PA on heroin. 2 open heart valve transplants, stage 3 COPD, pacemaker and a shock vest, chronic congestive heart failure but I'm still here. I felt so alone and unwanted during my whole addiction.. I didn't lie, cheat or steal for drugs, I worked hard to get high. I came from a huge family, 12 aunts and uncles, 3 kids, 11 grandkids..but I am still ashamed of the time I lost with them and blame myself for all my health issues. Nobody ever said that to me but I just feel it everyday. So this song brought me to tears when I first heard it. Thank you for putting this song out. You have true emotions in-between the lyrics and that's what I feel listening to it. Jelly roll fits in the music well too. He is one of the greatest in my book and I'm now a fan of you also.stay safe, thank you for this song God Bless us ALL. 🙏💪& ✌️

two months clean, just for today. "If you don't believe in yourself, then you'll never believe in somebody believing in you"

My mom and dad are or where had drug addiction,s and thus has helped me thru it i appreciate it 🙏 😢

My girl had a addiction She is 2 months clean I’m so proud of her.

I spent 11 years homeless in sacramento ca on heroin I got 36 days clean today!

I met my wife 10 years ago. She struggle with addiction. I found out in the beginning in our relationship and decided I would stick by this woman. I was at every NA meeting with her and try my hardest to help in every way. 10 years laters/her being 10 years sober to date. We have 5 boys and a home. I’m so proud of here. This song hits home 😢❤

✨✨ a u t h e n t I c v i e w s ✨ ✨ really propelled Joyner Lucas to the big leagues, and for that, I'll forever be grateful

It's good to see people coming together and supporting each other where they can

So damn powerful! Great message! Me and my wife celebrated 3 years clean March 3rd, we both come from family and parents of addiction. This song brought my wife to tears, it’s a great song with a powerful message.

I pray for my dad every day. He struggles with a meth addiction and it’s so hard seeing him caught in this trap of addiction. I hope he gets better before it’s to late

To all those who are sober, I’m proud of you. To those who are trying, I believe in you. To those who aren’t trying, I hope you can let go, I want to believe in you❤️

This song hit hard.. me dealing with addiction back in the day and than dealing with ppl that I love that are still addicted 😢😢😢😢😢 this song is on repeat..

Sober since 01/17/2023...lost my girlfriend, my job, my home. Left jail yday. Came out homeless but I'm determined to fly amongst the eagles. Not going to fall victim in these streets. I don't know anything but I'm certain that I'm not going to give up. This song is motivating me to keep pressing forward with every ounce of fight in me.

This shit brought me to tears thinking about the last time I said goodbye to my best friend who couldn't stay off of heroin. I had to distance myself, because if I didn't, I would likely go back to doing it myself. I stopped talking to him for two years and I found out he ultimately lost his battle at 25 years old. His face is still the background of my phone to this day. Hope Joyner's message reaches more people.

I wish you’d come home beanie. I miss you and I pray you’ll see we love you and want you sober. Missing since December 28th

People want to glorify the songs about the drugs and partying, but when real shit like this comes out people don’t really listen. Joyner and Jelly Roll, y’all did a big 1 with this song ❤️ Thank you both.

Joyner touching souls he don't even know about. How bro talks in both perspectives is so amazing. One of the best to ever do it👌🏽

Shoutout to Joyner every album he comes with an message ❤

The chorus is rough but I got through it and wish someone pushed through my walls that I set up to help me. I pushed people away and the ones that understood that I only did that to make it easier for myself and didn’t believe me have continued to be my greatest friends to this day.

Listening to this song for the 1st time on the birthday of my brother who lost his battle with addiction. He got 30 short years. 💔 He should've been 32 today. I'm praying for everyone struggling and proud of everyone who's fighting every day to stay sober.

Man this is feeling like old Joyner. No flexing, no cars and women. It’s Joyner at his best, writing about something real from different perspectives.

I've set a date for my trip to rehab for alcoholism, and it's a song like This that helps me feel I'm making the right choice. Bless you all, and may our lives be filled with peace and joy.

This hits me so hard. Someone whose very close to me just lost someone very close to them over addiction. Not even a week ago.. I'm sure it wasn't easy making a song like that, but it's necessary. Thank you, guys, for using your voices to speak about such a difficult subject.

I will donate $0.50 to children in need foundation for every likes I get 🚁

I'm in love with this song! I was an unintentionally a pill addict. I started taken prescription medication after my 3 yr old daughter was murdered for depression, anxiety, sleep and mood stabilizer and before I knew it I was an addict ( didn't realize it at first) 10 yrs later I had a child I was told I was unable to have and I quit cold turkey. I was up to roughly 15 or so pills a day. Long story short ,I was told I should have died coming off them like I did,but I didn't want my new baby born with them in her system.. it's was a blessing my unborn baby and myself didn't die. I was also a single mother of 5 at the time.I'm 15 yrs clean and I thank God everyday for pulling me through this. Thank you for an amazing song.❤

This song hits. As a former Crack Addict i was addicted for almost 10 years. To everyone with an addiction find God and go to church. My first day back to church God came to me and said its ok and believe in him. Now ive been 3 months clean and so thankful.#AllGlory2God.

Reminds me of dad died at 52 Rip I miss u so much still watching over mom for u

you music saved my life after 3 years of drugs im happy where i am now and going on 4 years sober

Holy shit I’ve never felt a song so much in my soul before I’m a retired drug addict who was addicted to herion and meth for half my life and homeless for 4 years lost everything I had I even lost my right leg but with the help I got from my now wife I pulled myself out of that life and am now 5 years clean own a home now and have two beautiful daughters. If anyone else is struggling and happens to be reading this just stick with it things don’t change overnight but things will change for the better if you stay the course I’ll always be here to listen to anyone else that’s having a hard time getting through a bad time in life!

Jelly Roll was the perfect person to feature on this song. I don't think people really realize that we are about to get the best Album of the Year so early in the year. Joyner deserves ALL of the recognition! 👏🔥💯

This hits hard ❤️🤟💯 we do recover because there is nothing in this world that is impossible

Hit home thanks fellas💙🙏🏽 god bless all people trying to get there health in order u got this god loves you ❤️

*Being human is not a problem!* *Being human is a FEAT!* 🕊✌

Joyner. You’ve yet again made a grown man cry on something he wasn’t fully aware of how crippling it is in his life. There ain’t no one else like you man

As someone who was raised in a broken home and used to experience the addiction of others, I pray for all who go through it, and it may be hard, but there is a way u just gotta push through

My husband has been in and out of treatment. He just completed 30 days yesterday. I’m praying this time he stays clean. We have a 25 year old and three year old together. He’s my soulmate and this song is so relatable.

These two artists have saved my Life with there music many of times. Drug addiction is no joke. Thank you Joyner and jelly ♥️

I will do 1 Pushup for every like i get on this comment 💪🏻

My heart is breaking watching my granddaughter go down the same dark path her Mom did. There has been so much loss this past year, her boy's Dad, her Mom, and her baby, all because of addiction 💔😭

🙏🏼🙏🏼🤦‍♂️ the only reason why I’m here is cuz my kids

INCREDIBLE!!! I’m 5 years sober, lost my freedom for years & lost my whole family due to MY addiction, they had to distance themselves from me. I hope one day, they will see I have truly recovered. I resonate with this so much, it’s truly touching.

It’s been a little over a year since I lost my father to a fentanyl overdose. I think about it every day. This song is so strong and resonates so hard with me. Growing up with an addict for a parent, and then becoming an addict myself, I have been on both sides of this fence. Now that I am sober and a father I want nothing more than to stay sober for my kids. Joyner and Jelly, I love you guys. Thanks for all you do for us and thanks for taking the time to write something that can touch us so much. I’ve been stuck listening to this song on repeat since it found me yesterday. I hope one day I can shake your hand, look you in your eyes, and tell you how much I appreciate what you do for us. It’s music like this that makes me want to get back to making music.

After spending 17 years on meth and losing everything I had, my family my friends my home and cars. I was finally able to get myself clean through the grace of god and my recovery program. Just got my 9 year chip on April 11th this year. Unfortunately my long time girlfriend and mother of my son continues to struggle. She was supposed to turn herself in to jail today but decided to run instead. Praying she can make the right decision before she ends up dead or serving a long prison sentence. This song made me cry because it truly relates to my current situation.

Lost my aunt who was my best friend to addiction last month and this song touched my heart and broke it all at the same time, to anyone out there battling addiction please remember you are loved

"Addiction is the only prison where the locks are on the inside" RIP to all my childhood friends that lost the fight 🙏🙏❤❤

This song made me cry. It caught both sides of addiction (the addicted and the loved one(s) praying for their sobriety/recovery that may never come). It’s a battle on both sides, and they both hurt like hell. Thankfully, my now husband has been sober from opiates for 23 months. He’s got a great job. We’re happily married. He’s not running from the police or his demons. Prison saved his life, but he put every bit of work in once released. I’m incredibly proud of him, and I hope one day he shares his story to inspire others. He inspires me and I have never touched drugs. If anyone is reading this and struggling with active addiction, you’ve got it in you. It takes one serious decision and a lifelong dedication. You’re stronger than you think. You are loved and you are worthy. But, as the song says, you have to see that worth in yourself. I’m rooting for you. Those of you that are in recovery, I’m so proud of you and all you’ve accomplished. I can’t speak on it personally, but I watched my husband go through hell multiple times to get sober. It is not easy AT ALL. I’m proud of you for seeing your worth, strength, and the life you deserve to have. Moment of silence for the loved ones we’ve lost to the battle. Never forgotten and always loved. 💜💔

Wow I pray for all who under addiction ..as humans we need to pickup love one another more

My mom is now 3 or 4 years sober after 2 hard years.. she finally just got off her probation period and got her nursing license back! I’m so proud of her and how far she has come!

”I hope you look in the mirror and see all the things I’ve been seeing in you“ ”If you don’t believe in yourself than you’ll never believe in somebody believing in you“ Joyner isn’t just a rapper he’s a poet… theirs levels to his music

This one straight up made a grown man cry 😭 Real and Raw. By the grace of God I have 11 years sober but this right here is so damn relatable. 💯💯💯

I'm 131 days sober today. I thank God for being patient with me and not taking away all I love during that time I was down.

I'm nearly 24 and am trying so hard to break the cycle of addiction in my family, I fell off the wagon myself pretty badly with alcohol from 18 to just before my 23rd birthday, my mother found me alone and plastered and the only thing that made me wake up and realize what I was doing was seeing my mother plead for her daughters life. I've been sober for 7 months now and trying to keep not only myself but my mother afloat. We both see both sides of this.

This one just hits differently. RIP lil bro, I love you, I hear you now. Rest easy.
