[@stockmarketbeast2985]

I hope my mom is holding the gates open when I die... I miss you mom. Love Jay

[@PatschoPat]

"Though I've grown up, I'm still heartbroken, aching to cry Hoping you're the one holding open those gates when I die"

[@intellectualsolitudeproduc2865]

[@Jean-Claude1vince]

these song made me cry i been thinking about my dead grandmother while listening to it

[@justinkase4285]

I just attended my grandfathers funeral today and this is the first shit i played when i got home.

[@illel-zorro9527]

Ill Bill really put his heart on this one. I really love this person Bill has grown to.

[@Cody6698]

My mother passed away seven years ago, so this song really speaks to me. When the time comes...I hope she'll be holding the gates open when I die.

[@victormcvic3579]

Glad to see Ill bill gettin so much attention, its been a long time comin, underground legend

[@htownguero]

I remember when this video still first dropped! Was my school years and crazy times then. Still bumpin in 2020! Salute from Houston brotha 👌

[@MindOverMacros]

Little late but same with doom. Doom finally got recognition.

Never knew about him until i heard gmoskee name drop him as an influence so i figured if he helped inspire one of the rappers i actually he should be worth checking out. Im so glad i did. This dude is phenomenal.

[@MrMickthemonster]

Thanks for this song... It's really helped me.

[@EmakulateMM13]

I ❤ you are this song Bill

[@SicilianCerdaPride]

This song always hits so close to home, I was raised by my grandmother, and my uncle was the only male role model in my life. I lost both of them 8 years ago, both to cancer, even though my uncle was an addict all his life, and there are so many parallels in this song its insane.

[@PMOHGUILD]

I feel you bro..youre not alone

[@roastchicken401]

Damn, that's crazy man... My condolences

[@basketballfan33]

I lost my grandfather in April 2012 and this song came out a few months after that (Nov 2012). Used to bump it EVERY DAY after school. Shame this version never made it to the album

[@DruidsTears]

My uncle was a huge fan of Ill Bill. He got a lot of inspiration from his music and such. For me personally the song is almost too accurate. He was always like a big brother. He never made me feel like a dumbass kid. My uncle though did die of an overdose. Every time I hear this song I feel close to him. Cause it’s one his favorite artists. He was only 32. If I make it to the gates of heaven i hope you’re their uncle Stephen.

[@christianwagner9375]

Hardcore RAP From THA REAL PAIN !!!

[@almpertz]

There's two kinds of rappers these days. Those who rap for money and those who rap for real. Ill Bill is without a doubt the realest rapper out there. Thank you for doing what you do better than anyone else. Stay strong bro and may Howie rest.

[@muzikdepotart]

From Non Phixion to his solo shit, son proved he's a fucking dope Emcee on the mic...Bless up Uncle Howie, forever shine yo!

[@Paddabear123]

This song has everything I've suffered in my 48 years alive on this planet this is a true life story great bit of work keep at I'll Bill

[@jevusstegmann5674]

Ive never heard you before. This came up random. Your lyrics are crushing, real and profound. You hit my heart bro. I got you bill.

[@realnagger6718]

Still Listening to this song in 2020. Love both versions. Ill Bill, The Beast...

[@sewerslidemg]

both versions are sick but i prefer this version

[@realnagger6718]

@@sewerslidemg To be honest, this version is deeper, sadder. The other version is more "hopeful". Anyway, I guess, the Lyrics, the delivery and Ill Bill's character really make this song...

[@lordkromakaekd4037]

I cry to this song. Peace.

[@MrGerardo8]

My pops just past away today... This song comforts me... See you in the other side papá...

Massive respect BILL, when i listen this song i remember what the real rap is. Thanks you for existing and sharing your talent. RIP uncle Howie. One love from france.

[@RO-wt8mp]

Mercyful Fate + Ill Bill. Awesome lyrics. Best song ever.

[@diegomari4478]

For my mama ❤

[@chaosofmankind]

Such raw emotion and talent is what this world lacks

[@MetalxMasters]

This song makes me think about my grandparents who died when I was very young which basically split my family apart. No matter where you are in the world, we all grieve together. Stay strong, friends.

[@ou4534]

Same situation here man, but at least were still here

[@GODHATESADOPTION]

Though I've grown up, I'm still heartbroken achin' to cry, hopin' you holden' open the gates when I die!

[@donnyp5939]

An old woman I took care of entered her final hours of life this morning, and it about damn near broke me. This song has been getting me through the emotions. Can't wait for the day we're all reunited with our fallen loved ones. As bleak as that may sound, that's my only idea of heaven. Bill, horns high to you brother. Thanks for this master piece. Much love to all you. Those going through it, solider on.

[@lagansonskroz3692]

Man i just love your Work.I miss my fallen ones,miss my Dad bro.Tears now,sea of tears.Love your Work man really.

[@chanrider]

This is one of those tracks that stands apart. A timeless epic, I can listen to this in twenty years just the same. It's hard to find music of this caliber, with this much soul.

[@LMAODOODZ]

My mom is 60, from the Bronx and I got her into this song. It actually made her cry. No disrespect to anyone else but we're Italian so even if our family isn't that big, we're tightly knit. I hope you have a happy New Year Ill Bill, you speak the truth.

[@francisdrake3730]

One love from germany, lost my father at a young age. This song brought tears to my eye. And people say rap is ignorant.

I feel you man on some real💯 just lost my grandfather this morning. One of the last pearl harbour veterans. I wouldn’t know how to be a man today if it weren’t for him. And now I’m stuck wishing I had the power to bring him back. I miss him

[@R.T.and.J]

How is it that not only has Ill Bill been blessed with such gifted talent as a songwriter, but he's also able to produce such God-like beats? Amazing.

[@onicronprime118]

Look at his crew he rolls with, they keep trying to top each other

[@RipperOFBongs]

this song came out no word of lie a week after my uncle passed on. he was boss, he ran everything,with a great sense of mind two people i respect in this world are him & my mother. i was choked i didnt know how or what to do but the one thing i do know is this song really did help get through it. RIP Shane ill be seeing at those gates soon enough!

[@MrGundam0083]

this hits you on so many levels its great and hard to listen too

[@tyrantpoh]

bill is the illest its songs like this that show his incredible talent in making u feel every word he spits its quite a rarity to find such realness in todays watered down bubble rap...i can replay this song for another 2 hours,I had the privilege of meeting him at a show,honestly the realest person I have ever met,this song is quite inspirational and gives me strength I lost my grandmother Zaharoula Troumouhis on 10.2.06 a day before my 24th birthday.I still feel her presence my good brother-pz

I'm sorry for your loss. The only thing you can do when someone dies. Is be aware that life isn't forever, live your life to the fullest and spend time with your relatives, friends, and love ones. Life isn't forever. One day I will die and everyone will die. Life is too short. Do many things in your life because everything will be gone. R.i.p to your dad may he rest his soul. I wish everyone well. Be safe everyone ❤️💕 I hope each and every individual on earth lives a happy and peaceful life❤️

Realiest song ive ever heard!

[@MrOptik1]

That was deep, thank you Bill. Very VERY authentic NYC rapper right here. It takes a real talented artist to go above and beyond the status quo and do something from the heart like this track. Shows how you really think and can perform on any level. That's real talent, very under rated I feel. I followed the entire journey from when you guys started documenting UH.. This track was touching bro. I'm sure there are people in the world hurting and feeling the same way and this song might bring them some comfort, which is the gift you were given to share with the world. I love your music, Don't ever stop.
