OT The Real - Addiction [Official Video]

[@functional.addyct726]

In the midst of my addiction. This song brings tears to my eyes. Real af. I take the Megabus from NYC to Kensington once a week. The demons are real. Love you OT

[@saraht748]

Hey, I know this was 4 months ago so I hope you're doing okay. I just wanted to let you know I've lived through it and made it to the other side...at least for today lol. 2.5 years clean off fentanyl. I hope to God you are clean by now. 😔❤️ Before it's that one day where you only have enough fare to take the bus down and get your shit, and not enough to make it back home.. from experience I know, that it goes so downhill so, so quick. No matter what you are going through just know that someone out there cares and wants you to get better and is rooting for you. Stay vigilant out there my friend.

[@josephdrooker1039]

How much 10 gs out there. I'd imagine NYC would have some raw for a good price. Boston 200 a stick. Whites even cheaper

[@tou_buuji]

Same. I know that shit is cliche to say but, I never thought it was possible to live life without drugs. I smoke trees now and can live a super normal life. it really does work if you let it. those demons will eventually become a thing of the past and you'll be able to look at them differently. I hope youre doin alright buddy. These newer drugs dont get done, they do you. shits spooky out there rn. stay safe y'all

[@sarasheaffer8819]

This is everything. I never thought I would end up homeless in a place like Kensington. I pray for everyone still out there 🙏🏻❤️

[@nickantonelli5268]

I just heard this for the first time and I'm in tears. I've been struggling with this shit for so long I forgot what it's like to feel. I've lost everything, family, wife, friends, the will to live. But this gave me perspective and helped me realize I don't want this no more and it's time to take back everything you stole from me. Thank you OT for keeping it 💯. It's time. Philly stand up. Everyone struggling in Kensington, I feel your pain, I'm right there with you, take back what's yours. Not just the people with drug addiction either cuz I'll tell you from the jump, money, power, all that shit just as addictive so to all the hustlers out there I've been there too, keep ya head up and fight to get out them streets, Salute

[@boogzxxxx9983]

I was at camp hill with this man. At that time i thot he was just another prison bullshitter. It goes to show to never judge a book by its cover. He is one of the best rappers ive ever listened too. He has a few joints that throw real life right in my face n send chills down my spine. The message he's sendin thru this joint is awsome. I battle everyday to keep my demons at bay. Every fuckin second of the day. I lost my baby sis in march to this shit. Hes a real one and i hope this man makes it big soon. He deserves too. Keep this message movin and keep bringin that fire.

This fucking song is my life. ❤❤❤ I had two years clean from Iv heroin and meth, relapsed last April. Been using since. Today marks 6 days since this song came over my playlist never hearing it before or heard of this artist. I quit after hearing this song and relating to it on so many levels. 6 days clean! Thank you, this song just saved my life.

[@grimm2748]

Love the message OT . It's a jungle out here. The struggle with addiction has claimed too many amazing people. To someone struggling, know that you are loved. There is help, you just have to want it. God bless everyone caught up in the madness of addiction. God bless the babies born into it as well.

A year and a half sober and im tempted to relapse every single day. Lost my baby in january and Im so tired of hurting. I just wanna feel numb but scared to fall back into the abyss. I barely made it out alive last time and next time i dont think ill find my way back again. Grief is such a monster. I was doing so well until I lost my baby.

[@SocialStudiess]

Damn this video was a reality check. I saw this artist on a China-Mac song. I liked his sound so I been listening and watching some videos. I live in a nice quiet part of Portland, OR. I've never been to the east let alone anything past Vegas. I've never tried any drugs other than weed. And when I say tried (weed). I mean maybe eight times in my life. I'm thirty years old now studying to become a high school geography teacher. Videos and messages like this help and remind me why I never will. I hope with all my heart the people and the community of where this video is taking place at find solace, peace and recovery. I'm glad I decided to check out this artist. I've become WOKE to this topic after having watched this video and absorbed its powerful lyrics 🙌🏾

[@traceynaulty4235]

Just wanted to reply to your comment because I am extremely excited that OT's music is helping to bring awareness to this epidemic. Thank you for even caring about us addicted Kensington folks, I really appreciate your love. I've managed to get myself sober over 2 yrs ago after fighting my addiction for over 40years & I'm only 50. That's how real it is here started getting high @ 10 years old. Kensington is a rough neighborhood but there is still alot of Love that grows. Please keep me in your prayers because I fear that I'll relapse because 90% of us addicts slip & when they slip they usually die & for the first time in several years I can honestly say, "I want to live." Much respect to OT the REAL

[@viktorblondeen4925]

After a couple years chasing it, i finally got clean 3 years ago, i slipped twice, each time a few days, but luckily going on a year straight sober, the scars never go away, but ive rebuilt many burned bridges, especially with my family, and i know you can too, you can be that person you were, even if you feel like you don't even recognize your own mother anymore, you get to meet her again, your alive still, you can do anything, the next time might be your last time, so why risk it? You are worth a better legacy.

[@MyName1992]

Everyone battling addiction, keep fighting the hardest of fights! Addiction is the hardest battle any human will face. Takes your soul and literally makes you inhuman and I salute anyone that reclaims their soul and gets completely clean. Not many people get clean and stay that way without a relapse so never give up the fight even if you lose a battle continue to fight the war! As a recovered addict myself, I salute anyone beating their addiction and wish them all the best and to any addicts that are losing the battle you have my sincere sympathy and I wish you all the best in getting your lives back on track! I only got clean because of my family and the fact I have kids gave me the incentive to get clean. I’m not sure I would of done it if it wasn’t for my family so I can’t imagine how Incredibly hard it would be to battle addiction alone or on the streets or both. Anyone who can get through that has my upmost respect and if you can get through that then I’m certain you can achieve anything you want In life! Instead of spending billions on the war on drugs they will never win and the jails holding the drug addicts. They should be building large scale rehabilitation centres and getting people completely clean which in turn will probably turn most of them away from crime and into a legitimate way of living! Sorry if it sounds like I’m preaching, it’s not my intention. Just wish all my fellow addicts, recovered or not all the best for the future

[@DocNiceMuzik]

To anyone who feels like you can't make it out. You can you definitely can it's hard the journey long. I been clean 4 years now I detoxed at keystone in Philly. Went to rehab long term went on Subs and did 90 in a half way house and when I got there I got the Suboxone shot by the first month I stopped subs without any pain the shot wears of and you won't notice. And remember the journey is the best part you just won't see that until you made it. Life is so beautiful without Dope, pills,k2. That's all poison. Trust these words YOU CAN DO IT.
