Incase some of you didn’t know, NF’s cries are real in this song. They decided the keep it in the recording as NF couldn’t get through the song without breaking, which is why you hear so much emotion in his voice.

My wife almost let alcohol take her away from us. It wasn't pills, but it felt the same either way. This song pulls every one of my emotions out of me, seeing the looks on our kids faces, trying to reassure them that everything would be ok. But damn this song hits hard. Everything did turn out ok, thank god.. we stayed vigilant and didn't give up until we were able to get her the help she needed and she has now been sober without a drop for 3 years.. our life is still getting better as days go on.. Sometimes seeing this video is therapeutic in it's own way.. a reminder of how bad it can get, but I'm here to say that there is still hope that things can change. The other thing ill say is that you can never give up on someone struggling with addiction or alcoholism. They're struggling with something else and the addiction is the indicator. I hope if someone is on the side I was on and isnt sure what to do, they'll read my comment and know that there is hope. Never give up.

Oliver J. It’s just my own personal opinion bro, that you should sacrifice a lot of things for your kids from small things like cigarettes to big things like drugs so that your child grows healthy and if you can’t you shouldn’t have a child or should send him to a safe environment. I get some people in the world are struggling and find it hard to refrain from these actions but in my opinion if you have a child you should no question, because if you do drugs and struggle that’s fine you can screw your life over but if it’s harming others then there’s a problem.if you disagree with me that’s fine bro and take care
