Must be hard to perform this song live.

[@tweetyd354]

I can't even imagine how hard it is. I got to NF live in NYC and when he played this he apologized in advance saying he wasn't sure how it was gonna go, he'd only played it live he said like only 2-3 times, so, yeah, it was hard for him, but the fans showed love and helped him through it. Saw him a few months later in Philly and he got better at it, and didn't use the backtrack as much. Again, fans showed love. It was very emotional though :(

[@kevinmorales1187]

I was there in NYC and yoo...I was feeling his emotion in the song...

Joshua Rolffs im not sure about that. Listen to the live performance of all i have. That is straight live and only thing recorded is the fill in lyrics which is the same as having a hype man performing with you. The kid goes hard on these live shows. Check it out if u havent its a solid performance.
