This song teaches you pain. It also teaches you that if you can still hurt then you can still be happy.

Amarys Romero Killa 🔥🔥🔥

[@russelladams7134]

Amarys Romero Those lyrics are real. He is saying that even though he had a divorce he enjoyed being in love with Kelis and having kids and a family while many men have a baby mother and won't marry her . He talking about how many men have never been married so they have never experienced love and a family.

[@ligonalina5012]

And thats why I love it cause it’s real deal ❤️❤️❤️ I keep listening to it and trying to make everybody I know listen 😂

Aaron hall crushed this hook

[@MrBean617]

Yasine Reality He wasn’t actually singing on the song. They sampled his voice.

[@skylerb97]

It’s a sample he just mouthed the words in the video

[@slimmiesmalls2238]

Yeah, it's from Guy's song, 'goodbye love'

Man man man...Nas was/still loves that woman but some times you just have to love a person enough to walk away

[@prosperandgamble]

Cedric Page I agree. Name another rapper that would make an entire album about his wife. That’s real bold but Nas did an impeccable job.

[@ericperry27]

@@prosperandgamble thats like saying Em made a WHOLE album about Kim. U reaching dawg. lol there was like 3 Kelis songs -_-

[@leeraxd]

I love Nas' delivery in this track. We can all relate to a breakup and essentially, that's all it is-a breakup song. But it's less sad and more empowering. Like, 'hey shit happens and sometimes things dont work out but it's okay because we had good times, i regret nothing, and life goes on.' Nas is king of nostalgic rap.

Having the album cover in the video is a nice touch. 👌🏾 I loved this album so much

[@Armando316]

Celebrity break ups typically have no effect on me but I gotta admit, this one hit a little different because I've always had that feeling that they really were in love, and beneath all the pain and abuse they put one another through, deep down they still are... They probably just didn't have the maturity at the time to make it work. Great song. Great album. A classic in my eyes.

[@Lb2Shay]

I think she still love him too. Probably in the way that she wish they would have worked out and wrk'd it out. Bcuz she still speaks bad abt him. I've heard it said Hate isn't the opposite of Love, Indifference is. If she says has energy to spew hate abt him it mean there's still love there. She's remarried with another kid now, but I saw a interview, she talked abt him, I thought she sounded bitter. It sucks Bcuz you hope for the best for Good ppl, including yourself, but in life unfortunately sumtimes thing's don't wrk out that way

[@teekolinski491]

The way I started bawling when I first seen this years ago- the moment he held up Kelis' green wedding gown, I broke down. That & the hook! One of my favorites by Nas & I've been a fan since day one.

[@johnquigley1629]

If you are a genuine fan of rap, then you should know that we need to appreciate the fact that we still have a legend like Nas still around making music. He is the only rapper that still raps on a real level like he did back then.

[@dominiccelestine4606]

This song is underrated. Nas's Poetic, ingenious and profound flow to this day is second to none. In my opinion the GREATEST RAPPER EVER!

[@techmic2854]

U can tell this came from a very very deep place. And Aaron killed this hook. Delivered all those feelings with that voice

[@Mzbrownbeauty27]

Nas is a gentleman and laid back. He deserves a good wife 💘. Bless him. This is so raw.

[@lateshiachilds3640]

Nas is one of the oldest MCs I ever heard that is why he is one of my favorite rappers. This song is so deep and sad I love how he told the honest story in his song. I loved Kelis and Nas as a couple they look so perfect together, I hate that Nas was hurting and I believe he still love her and she probably still love him. I wish I could be Nas next wife.

[@MelvinFMoore]

Real music. Real black people. God bless them all.

[@thetactician1060]

Nasir Jones the GOAT been listening since 94

[@heralldinnall3471]

Nas has so many levels to his style and lyrical ability. It's sad that mumble rappers are even around after hearing this amazing but slept on album.

[@A1KX100]

Grown man bars from the God MC 👑Appreciate you Esco. ✊🏾💯💯

[@karlhoffman8306]

Who else has lyrics this real? "We was friends, we had it all. Reason you don't trust men, that was your daddy's fault." Forget being a legend, Nas is in another universe than most greats. He's not even rapping - he's having a conversation with us and his Ex.

[@Baltimorehop]

Nas and Guy are from my era so you know that's a 100% go. DAMN good mix. It would really be dope if Aaron Hall came back singing his entire verse of "Sayin' Bye Bye" from his days with Guy of a re-mix to this with Nasir.

[@cyyrious]

[@whitneywilliams5467]

He always kept that small part of her wedding dress, which shows that there was a part of him that still cared. Some guys would ship every last thing to their ex.

[@myaanolover]

whitney williams no he said she left it in the closet when she left

[@byanymeansnecessary398]

Yes Ellise is right. Kelis took everything but left her wedding dress.

[@lateshiachilds3640]

[@AldermanFredCDavis]

I would imagine that Nas has paper. He's a good-looking guy. He's articulate, seems intelligent, and has swag. He's talented, creative. Been famous for 20+ years, etc. One would imagine that he has access to women of all ethnicities, educational levels, and income brackets. Hasn't had the best of luck (at least publically) with women. What hope is there out here in these streets for the average 9 to 5 dude?

[@mattscott8512]

Exactly, whether you have it all or not ...it wont matter to a woman ...no matter what you do, if she shows signs of "what you do for her will never be enough" let that heifer go and salvage your peace of mind,rs💯... even out of a thousand women, Solomon couldn't find one righteous sista (ecclesiastes 7:27-28) 🤷🏿‍♂️

I remember when I heard this song ten years ago on all of the radio stations and Nas is the man with the master plan and he is still doing whatever it takes to move mountains and I thank him for welcoming his daughter back then when he made that song called Daughters and Nas came a long way and I really want to meet him so we can have a rap battle one of these days. I'm ready for a new beginning and I'm hopeful that God will always provide a way for me and my family pertaining to my Mental Health. Remember if you lose everything and still have God you have more than enough to start all over again. Amen! I will always love you to life.
