My dad was an alcoholic when i was a kid, this video hits me hard because i know how it feels to have nothing, but to learn that the past is the past and you have to move on no matter how hard it is, my dad has been sober for 4 years now, the memories hurt, but i forgive him. I love you dad

The feeling of running away from an abusive home, only for it to get dark outside, all your friends have gone home and you have nowhere else to go, so you stare at the front door you tried so hard to run away from. Knowing you're about to face your consequences from the monster that dwells inside. I don't know how this director caught that feeling, but i know it very well.

As someone whose faced a lot of adversities in life, this song has always spoke to me. I love to listen to it whenever I feel myself getting angry and dwelling on something bad that has happened. When you’ve had a lot of shitty things happen that weren’t within your control it’s easy to feel angry, bitter and get caught up in a victim mentality but this song is a reminder that sometimes you just need to roll with punches and forgive yourself and others even when it’s difficult. We can’t always control what happens to us but we can control how we react and whether we choose to dwell on adversities or grow from them. This song touches on the fact that when “the sun is setting” you can either look back on your life with anger and regret or you can look back on your life and say I made the best life I could with the hand I was dealt. So to everyone out there going through something tough think of this song and think about how you want to feel when your “sun is setting” do you want to be angry/bitter or do want to be happy that you made the best of the situation you were given? I don’t know why I just went on that huge rant.. but I hope it helps someone!

One day I was home after work and custody issues were taking a whole toll. I fell apart. This came on I knew i listened cuz it was Classified. I was so mixed raw emotions and I fell the floor on my knees in my empty home. I KNEW then it wasn't gonna be easy... i just listened. I felt too many things about the situations. How was i ever gonna live...the balls to walls is litereally what i applied. So that's what I did that year forward. Just apply and move ..do it until your body hurts. Research. Live. Everything happens once. Not twice, i lived, and learned this with my parental custody battle.. the courts dates, lawyers,middle officials, and my houses, cars,..jobs. work..professionalism...like i not okay..i couldnt really have any thought. I felt broken..this brought my seconds back made me pause.. I litereally switched my mindset. I felt alot of work I had done...I hadn't known then It was gonna be another 6 more long years....I realised this day gotta really stop.. my day was way too much. I was relieved to hear this ..I just bawled like a freak of nature. That was only the half way point.. glad to share I now won. Who knew then.. glad i never ever gave up. Thanks

I gots mad respect for his song and his influence that he got from I guess his gay uncle, but to say he conscience or even on the same standing as class is misconstrued as being hip hop when it really isn't.

My dad, drunk, left death threat on an answering machine after my mom left him. When he learned what he did after he received a court letter, he couldn't stand it. Sadly, his decision wasn't to stop drinking. He thought we hated him. It's a shame he has never listened to us. Life went fast for me after his decision. I made mistakes, kept trying to stay afloat. Now my biggest regret is he'll never see my 4 kids.
