This song means so much to me. I remember when I was a teenager who didn't think about life, knowledge, philosophy or anything but after hearing that beat somehow I started to think about everything, reading books and wanting to know everything about life. I am always grateful for that!

[@michaelsedgley3236]

You don't miss the innocence of youth though? I know exactly what you mean but when I found out about life that's when the pain and melancholy started. We are born with 1 life yet me we live 2, the second life starts when we realise we only have 1 life.

[@datguy6745]

@@michaelsedgley3236 i always knew i only had one life, but i never really wanted it. I could appreciate small things, but this life wouldve been worth so much more in the hands of someone who appreciates it in its entirety. personally i started questioning existence since my dad killed himself and i just couldnt understand why, and since teenage i just wanted to die myself. But damn, now i have a crush on somebody that doesnt want me and still it improves life by 1000% knowing that she exists..

Just because CunninLynguists are good for being thought out doesn't mean shit like Lil Jon can't be good or respected for getting people hype (not to mention lil Jon is a fuckin musical genius if you know much about his work)

Don't want to get all emo here but fact is : This music stayed by my side when i was in the gutter, it's like the friend that i didn't have. Very powerful...

[@jayyagami3522]

Literally the same, I was out by myself, and the music I listened to was all I had. When I listen to it now, I literally feel like I'm back there, on the train, sitting in the gutter, walking the streets all that, I can feel the cold and see everything I saw, and have this huge powerful feeling, also. I love listening to it all again, it's like being with that friend again
