"How can you judge me if you don't understand me ?!" I love this sentence.

what does this sentence mean? i didnt understand it ...

[@mattieg3708]

@@samdong866 9 to 5 job.

[@christianc.8889]

@@samdong866 9 to 5 is referencing the typical hours that one would work in a basic, boring job. Calling it suicide is criticizing the system’s repression of freedom and expression with the monotonousness of modern life.

"Rather be homeless and broke, than be labeled as happy" My favourite sentence in this song

[@donaldcrossman7514]

Holy mother of God... That hit home... You're right. We chase the figments that society perceives as happiness. I just want to be someone that my kids can be proud of.... I'm not that person now. Tired of looking down.. time to look up.

Ivan B I dont know if you ever read these comments, but I pray you do because I need to thank you for making your music. I am going through the hardest time in my life right now. I feel like my soul has been crushed lit on fire and thrown away. This song right here has touched my heart in a way I cant even explain. I need to be an example for my children. God will see me through. Your music is seeing me through. I wish I could repay you for your gift of hope and strength you gave me tonight. Thank you so much. I wish I could just give you a hug. Thank you.

Hope you get through

[@baehoeta3693]

Something that upsets me is Ivan B isn't on Pandora and it kills me because his music is true and real and speaks his heart and life with his music

[@jonathanbaumler798]

BAEHOETA He comes up on my Pandora. When I listen to NF, Ivan B comes up a lot! Try looking NF up and see what you get.

[@chrislive1586]

Me too. NF radio is how I found Ivan. Immediately bought Ivan's online Album.

[@RenegadEfw260]

I'm scared I'm wasting my time Scared I'm losing control of my life I'm scared of commitment of calling anything mine I would be lying if I told you, "I'm fine" Serving these tables to put some food in my stomach I'm tired of seeing my mom to say "Don't worry, it's coming" My heart is racing, I'm running to anything more than nothing Drowning in debt and I'm trying to pull us above it Tell me everything will be okay Tell me why does everybody got to fade away Am I crossing your mind? 'Cause you been all up in mine But if I saw you, I don't know what I would say Instead of being together, I need to get it together Instead of writing these letters, I want to live to remember Am I better from the past? Yeah, I wonder what I'll know Haunted by a dream is when you really let it go I guess things happen for a reason But I'mma never leave anything at chance At first glance I'm looking for God's hands The Devil's looking at me like, "Homie, come dance" My grandma's getting sicker, I'm never there when I can be See, my brother feeling lost, I guess it runs in the family People telling me this music should be a plan B How could you judge me if you don't understand me? No breaks, one-twenty going in Destiny's calling, I'm like, "Baby, come on in" Right now it feels like do-or-die Everyday it's, "Who am I?" You call it nine-to-five Man, I call it suicide I see what they can't see, this is all that I can be Rather be homeless and broke than be labeled as happy They don't understand me, 'cause no one can stand me It's always the outsiders who end up outstanding I lost a hundred dollars on a bet It's not a lot of money, but it said a lot about me In the moment, guess I didn't understand it When nothing is certain, don't ever take it for granted Pride is a poison that infested our planet Greed is okay, well that's the way that they brand it Our view of everything is such a mess Having less than we deserve is our perception of happiness What am I supposed to do? They say, "Follow the steps, stick to the guidelines" If I listen to that, I'm just a kid on the side line What's in your eyes? I don't care 'bout your eyeline Never cared about all of that Money got people snapping for their quarter back If I get it, I'mma give it back I feel like happiness is something everybody should have But we are who we are I've been lost in the dark, while I've been shooting for stars Looking for love, like is it really that hard? Or just have someone who's there when it's all falling apart But every scar only makes your heart stronger Hold on, just fight a little longer I ponder these lines while mopping floors every night That's when you feel the fatigue and all your hunger That's been killing me, keep going with what they're telling me More aggressed than memories Sometimes you got to let it be The past ain't ahead of me, I got to give my best How do I make change if I don't give you my two cents? I look around, I see the dying of youth Now you're picking up a bottle, let me pour you the truth I used to be like all of you, like you got nothing to lose Nobody want a commitment when everybody's been used Step in my conscious, my heart is the pallet The past is behind you, but lately I've been behind it I'm finding I've been placed in happiness and people who leave And they love it when you're broken, hate you when you achieve It's like I can never be me, the world is just a routine Telling you how to live and the certain value it brings Like rings, summer flings, things ain't what they seem So, don't you ever buy the happiness they sell on the screen 'Cause happiness ain't a store bought can And love isn't found in just a one-night dance I'm looking at the sky like, "Give me one more chance" I'm tired of sitting in my room like I know I can Nothing's done until you do it, just look at what I'm pursuing To die like what you're doing, my girl is cause of my music It was lose her or lose it, my hearts in the music If I didn't, I'd be dead, so I went and I choose it Trying to figure it out, and this ain't even about us I'm trying to be something more, so that my kids can be proud of I'm trying to show everybody there's not much worth in these dollars I hear making a difference, don't you give up Every line that I'm writing is just for you to get up Love is barely an offer Yeah, we don't give it enough Man, what's the point of the top is nobody wants to look up? So, look up, look up Don't look down Look up, look up Don't look down Don't look down

[@anthony_scotia1586]

I relate so much to this song! Story of me: Grow up in a small town, when I was only 11 my best friend had to move only recently this year she finally started texting me again. My purpose in life to make everyone feel better about themselves knowing how sucky depression and everything can be. I lost my gf April 27th 2018, I have no friends at school. Spend most my life with my deep thoughts left inside me. I have an interest in any type of music and visiting the world. You see I don't really have much too say, Some say I'm scared of love but really I just find people don't have interest in talking to me because I am very shy. The people that I have in my life I am very happy for and those that I meet I hope they stick by my side. I never really talked about myself till right now so this be my first time telling about my life. I have 2 white cats and 1 dog and I enjoy trying out new things. My fav thing in life is talking to new people, I recently got interested in helping people feel better since I never had the chance to help myself re heal. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life till I got introduced to music and found myself feeling brand new the next day. But that never really got me far has it, I have high hopes but not much friends too show me the way through life! I barely have anyone who text me anymore big support if you sub to my channel that would mean a lot too me. I lost many animals and friends in my life and hope one day the world will change.

[@dustinallen2311]

In the reality of this, the sad thing is that this type of mind frame becomes a brand in itself. However, the world truly is in short supply of it and to honestly think in this manner speaks volumes. Ivan addresses issues in this song I think about on a daily. Almost anyone these days will allow the trend to define, shape, and brand them. "For money anyone will snap for the quarter back".
