Lord I ask that you cover all of DMX’s family , friends, and faithful fans. Right now I ask that you be with his children. Each and every one of them. This track / song showed just how much love & acknowledgment he had for them. This song was dedicated specifically to his oldest Xavier and I ask that as you cover them all surround him a little tighter as this song is now open for the world. It was a private issue that they went through which became public. May he always remember the genuine tears and love his Daddy had for him. It could be seen on Iyanla Fix my Life. That man loved you and the Lord. May he rest in Glory🕊👑♥️🙏🏽

[@blacksuburban2410]

@@GreenNotes007​ Define “most heart.” You talking about courage/bravery, love, passion, what? I see Pac’s name brought up often on DMX videos in this same context. But it always comes off as just this thing you’re supposed to say. Kinda like when discussing the greatest rappers of all time and automatically Pac and BiG are the first names… even from people who weren’t around and couldn’t name five of their songs that weren’t singles or on used in movies/mixtapes. So I’m not being negative, sarcastic, or combative… I’m genuinely asking what it was/is that puts Pac at the top of that particular list.

[@giacomo451]

Love pac but he was borderline homosexual. X was a real dog, a man’s man. PAC was so educated and full of talent but wanted to go the gangsta route and payed the price. X was from the gutter and tried to avoid his demons and keep his circle small “I don’t like drama so I stay to myself”. Dark Man X was a different breed.

They satanic occult rituals members and unfortunately X signed his soul but he repented and been since and he exposed them all. They all get murdered if the speak especially w the word of Jesus!! I wish his family was getting it but nope he made sure to die in debt bc of scripture. What is it to gain the entire world but sell your soul, give up your worldly possession and come to me my child-Jesus X did just that an that's why Swiss said what he said at his funeral about how all them showed up but where were they when he got played.

X said, "you're a man looking through the eyes of a woman". That shit deeper than rap, for a lot of men. As a man raised by my mother, I've never looked at it that way, and now I know why, now I understand. Thank you X, once again you've opened my eyes to life through you're music. You did for me when I was 9, and here you are still doing it for me at 32. #LongLiveDarkMan #YourBiggestFan

The way I took that was, for all these females to quit trying to demonize men! All too often when a couple splits apart they always want to make it seem like the guy is so dirty and so wrong but that's just coming from one perspective the females... The hurt female at that!

Since I was the same age aswell bro. First listened to his music around 9/10 now I’m 20 and still got X as my #1 artist it broke me when he passed away in April couldn’t believe it would happen so soon as it seemed he got his life together and was off Drugs n Alcohol

[@tarreemhacaruso2687]

In X’s case the kids from his marriage got a front row seat to their father stepping out on their mother drug use, and their mother holding him down until she couldn’t anymore. Their looking through that woman’s eyes because their father left her in a position where she had no choice but to raise her children and hold them down because he as the other parent, couldn’t because of business, past pain, etc.,.. I don’t mean to speak Ill of the dead, but X wasn’t an Angel. This song was about him begging his son to make right the wrongs he committed against him and to fix what was broken. At least X was trying. Many don’t try.

My mom and dad were addicts most of their lives. My dad was deported when i was 8 never seen again. I was separated from siblings and went from house to house. God i hurt for his son cause i get both sides. Im 36 now and mom just died of brain cancer. None of us had closure. Alot of hurt pain and anger of what it could of been. What it should have been. Wish i could call my mama. Found my dad. Ill try and repair that. Thanks for the message. Peace be still to the king. And comfort for his son man. I get it.

At the least he could have stayed local or even in the same state until I was at least 18. Unfortunately he didnt, got re married and helped raise another womans children. while we did have something of a relationship it could have been way better and I was affected greatly by it. It goes both ways to be fair and there were many times people in my family told me to call my father and I didnt. There was also times he missed my birthday as a kid. So yes there was resentment. This is an unfortunate situation. Well my dad passed a month ago on May 6, 2021. This song hits hard. But please if you dont have anything nice to say and just wanna point fingers at people just sit down. You dont have the first handed life experience to be making those calls. Even then if you listen to the song you'll notice the chorus where it says "sorry I let you down" etc etc. For the most part children seek the most approval from their same sex parent. So in this situation for a son and father that are separated like that at such a young age it causes alot of emotional stress on both sides and greatly affects the life of the young man and his development. Do I regret not calling my father as much as I could have? Ofcorse. But I will continue to pray and I know that one day I will join him and be able to rest with him.
