[@OneishaFreeman]

As I sit here, completing my college final exams my 8 year old son came in and played this video for me because he thought the lyrics would motivate me. It REALLY did. Going to college as a single parent has been tough ... but my son "gives me something to believe in" and "makes me smile" and truly makes it all worth it. He's hung in there with me through all these late nights of studying and writing papers with the understanding that its for him. So #Salute to you, great song.

[@TheRealSonReal]

+Oneisha Freeman Salute to YOU!!! Glad I could help. Appreciate you!

[@CowProductionsNick]

Wow that must be very impressive to hear sonreal congrats to both of you and i am surprised u replied sonreal there are so many comments to reply too

[@TopAmazonfindsCanada]

[@OneishaFreeman]

TheAntMan Yep! What's your superpower?

[@OneishaFreeman]

TheAntMan Ook that explains a lot. No, actually I'm divorced

[@daspartapig]

Sonreal is the best, I found him with closers, and I've loved him ever since. I support you the best I can. Remember to like his videos, share 'em, and show him mad love. Thank you dearest Vernon for helping produce this masterpiece of a person.

[@jeremiahmcfarland6372]

kelly smith zyu

[@KidthekingKITCH]

You need to see him live! the dude is a great guy !

[@biggydrake]

I remember I used to listen to this song everyday while I was in a endless state of depression. I contemplated death a lot and this song helped me. It reminded me that I could actually do something with my life while I'm still here. Thanks, Sonreal. Much love.

[@jeffreydidntkillhimself4649]

I hope you're happy now bro

[@biggydrake]

@@jeffreydidntkillhimself4649 I am! It's crazy how far I've come since then. Now, this song reminds me to keep going and pursuing what I want in life :) Besides that, I hope you're happy, too. Have a great day!

[@ThatKSDude]

This dude is real and relatable. Waiting for the day he gets the credit he deserves.

[@TheRealSonReal]

***** Thanks man. Come check a show if I'm in your city. www.iamsonreal.com/shows

[@ThatKSDude]

I wish man, already checked! Show Kansas City some love!

[@bukoorecords1036]

SonReal Same with PG. bc bud ! you need to teach these young PunKs A Lesson.

[@damiansanchez849]

Exactly!!!

[@bukoorecords1036]

Damian Sanchez BIG tiem.

[@AdventureSlug]

He's honestly so origanial he's got his own style, Why hasn't he blown up yet !?!?

[@qjmad]

because he flows like drake

[@Jusrhri55]

qjmad .....wtf are you listening to?

[@Jusrhri55]

qjmad I actually cannot wrap my mind around how your brain is telling you this sounds like drake. I guess we just think differently. Oh well.

[@qjmad]

First off fuck all y'all cuz I don't like drake nor do I like this lame ass white boy. So get off my dick everyone is entitled to and opinion and I was just giving mine. If you listen to the way he flow and the way drake use to flow when he first came out, there is a similarity. If you don't like what I gotta say to bad it's already been said

[@ebayequipatron5803]

qjmad Damn spaz... chill...

[@shannonunderwood7322]

One day I stumbled upon SonReal on KZbin while aimlessly wandering, not really searching, but hoping to find something special, something moving. In fact if I am being true and real about everything, I should say that I desperately needed to find something that spoke to me, something beautiful and powerful to save me from myself. I was down in the darkness so low I was on the very far edge of the cliff overlooking the abyss that is suicide. Drugs, drinking, divorce, career loss, bankruptcy, despair, heartache, homelessness, prison, and a family that had forsaken me had broken me down to an emotional pile of rubble. What I found was definitely unique and and powerfully done. It was the,"For the Town" video. It wasn't sad or depressing or angry, it was cheerful and upbeat and kind of silly. I thought the song was brilliant and it truly made me smile and still does every time I hear it or see the video. I had to hear more so I kept looking and I found the "Longest Day" Album. It is just so emotional and epic to me that it changed my whole perspective on things. And yes it makes me cry a little.

[@TheRealSonReal]

+Robert Lee Glad I could help my man! Keep that head up!

[@shannonunderwood7322]

+SonReal Man you really are the truest! What a beautiful thing it is that you take the time to respond to your fans, a testament to the character and compassion that you show in everything that you do. You made me smile young blood, and I believe one day you will make the whole world smile. And when you blow up, which you will, just please don't lose sight of who you are, where you come from, or what you have been through, because who you are now is just truly beautiful man. I hope to meet you one day, so I am taking the inspiration you have given me and working hard every day to be the man I have always felt I was meant to be, so that when I finally do meet you, maybe I can give that energy back to you and make you smile. Then I'll know I've done my job at last.

[@DerrickBest]

Apart from prison and drugs this is my exact story. A year and half on the streets of London. Now I got a GF and sunshine in my home country Trinidad. If I ever go to America I wanna meet you SonReal. You da best. And I still Believe.

[@itsecho4459]

btw he is from Canada in BC I believe.

[@newedgesk8clan]

I wish this guy was more popular than he is. He deserves it. He speaks real and actually has a voice instead of all these fake rappers that talk about stupid same old shit like bitches, money, and drugs. SonReal actually has a voice and speaks of real world issues. I lost faith in hip hop and rap, but people like SonReal bring me back.

[@opinionators8495]

PREACH

[@Fevir]

Found dude today and just been binging. Great music, great message.

[@mhoovair89]

[@mattsk8s937]

[@desperatedave3573]

GODZILLA APPROVES!! amazing song... im a 2x divorced single dad.. struggling.. and songs like this... help alot ..RESPECT and THANK YOU

[@scottybrooks5457]

I'm sitting here reflecting on my life over the past few years... I used to be hooked on drugs and alcohol. It almost ruined my life. Getting sober has given me a life I could have never imagined, and has helped mold me into the man that I am today. This video reminds me ANYTHING is possible, if you just BELIEVE. Thanks SonReal. I appreciate the tunes. I'll be seeing you this summer Cuolumbus, OH!

[@TheRealSonReal]

Scotty Brooks Thats what we love to hear man! See you in Columbus.

[@alexandergoulet2361]

How does this song only have 100,000 views and everywhere we go has over a million

[@briannathorne5100]

This song is so inspirational. Recently, I was struck by a moving vehicle and I was in shock. I am a 16 year old girl. My little sister and her friend watched everything happen. When I got hit, I found the strength to get back up. My sister was very traumatized. They rushed me to the hospital in an ambulance. Luckily, I only have minor injuries and I didn't break any bones. I am at home recovering. Ever since the accident, I was diagnosed with PTSD. Things are getting better. Listening to music mends the soul. This song, in particular, makes me believe that things will get better. Thank you, Sonreal, for this inspirational song.

[@dbkaoto5]

This is in every possible way perfect!

[@NerixHD]

I'm French and it's probably one of the the most powerful US rap song I heard !!!!!! your music made ​​me cry .... Continue SonReal !!!!!! (Now you have a French Fan)

[@TheRealSonReal]

NerixHD I'm from Canada!. Appreciate that. My new EP just became available in Europe. Make sure you check it out! www.iamsonreal.com

[@brittneyquinn9386]

They just don't make videos like this any more. This is so refreshing. We need more SonReal! Beautiful music, beautiful video, and beautiful vision.

[@TheRealSonReal]

Brittney Quinn I'm glad you like it.

[@charcuterie6883]

SonReal's style is so versatile. He can be chill, like in this song, or hype like Soho. So wonderful.

[@sumsaudi]

I.. Just CANT GET THAT ENTIRE CHORUS OUT OF MY HEAD!!!!!!!!!!

[@ForlornSuicide]

SonReal You made me cry. My daughter is suffering so much from depression and anxiety. I search everyday to give her something to believe in.

[@Swirvles]

Mad respect. Should be one of the most viewed vids ever. Uplifting in an honest way.

[@TrippzMichaud]

This song and video is so fucking good!

[@JelmsMom]

I love when a rapper lays down a message that is so real, it reignites your humanity. This video is so beautifully done, and the stories are so heartbreakingly real.

[@lurkmo4r]

Son, you are a mastermind. Never give this up, one day you'll be remembered as an inspiration.

[@TheRealSonReal]

Thanks!

[@billionjoints420]

my mothers been suffering from alcoholism on the streets of yellowknife canada for 8 years, i use to think that's where i will end up , cuzz i had no motivation ,but then i heard that one song that made me believe i could be ....................... better then that

[@gigas801]

"Know I'm gonna get respect for this." Work, effort, change the world.

[@spencerekleberry5727]

I wanted to thank you for your positively, your music has been helping me get through the hardest part of my life. I had to send my 1 1/2 year old daughter and girlfriend hundreds of miles away to be in a safer environment while I stay and work to try to provide for them.

[@georgepelly4199]

[@carriegadsby7587]

Hard work is an understatement, i saw you on youtube and tv more then anybody in 2015, keep that shit up!! you may be one of the only real hip hop artist left.

[@mariaquirion917]

One of the best songs i think i have ever heard. Thank you.

[@kieakewii]

SonReal is the realist rapper to me. So positive and always trying to make others feel good. I can really get behind someone like that. Flordia loves you!

[@LogicIsUndeniable1]

SonReal is so underrated, wish I was in Canada to see him live.

[@1122codman]

Another great song by our fellow Canadian!

[@yoshimi5008]

I don't know how you're not one of the best right now. You make sick rhymes, awesome music videos and you keep in touch with your fans unlike most their rappers

[@lesterclaypool1]

To have to pump the product out fast enough to keep a digital world's ear and be this consistently good...

[@kittylover7932]

I’ve been listening to sonreal since 2016 and even tho I’ve heard his songs many times I always get that chill I got when I first heard them. He inspired me to start singing in front of crowds and I always bring him up when I’m done singing saying how he inspired me. I’ve won the talent show 2 times and I owe it all to him ❤️❤️❤️

[@JUggALoJokER1985]

Man SonReal I can't get enough of your music......everyone just seems like you know what I'm going through each day they always help take away the pain and helpin me through my addiction that I'm fighting each day to quit and my kids are glad it's happenin.......THANKS FOR THE INSPIRATION TO HELP ME THROUGH😔😔😔

[@amberrichard8874]

This deserves so many more views

[@Globalsws]

Amber Richard not really, it really doesn't, this is also just generic like all the rest, another kid that put the spotlight on hard life and reality for 5 minutes, just cuz he doesn't want to work, but hey fuck it if he's doing his thing and getting away with it,

[@dea.d9432]

You're replying to a comment from 7 months ago dude, and just because this artist aint your cup of tea doesnt mean you have to bash people for liking it. It's not generic, though you may think of it that way, many people certainly dont. If you dont like this artist theres no reason for you to be on the comment section of his songs.

[@mitchkirpluk5927]

My god dude I didn't think I would end up liking a song more than Everything I Am, but this song is amazing! I'll definitely spread the word of your music you deserve it dude, keep it coming SonReal!

[@thomair6969]

Thank you for all of your AMAZING music!

[@jamesperrault747]

I'm with Jeremiah I found sonreal through a youtube ad for preach right after it came out and have liked all his music that I've heard and so have my friends when i show them his videos.

[@noknives8314]

[@timothyolivas1136]

Still listening to this song everyday lunch breaks included feet rooted, suited, for my interview with Destiny. Thank you Sonreal for bringing motivation back to my life.

[@murdockhampe250]

I don't normally comment. but goosebumps man. do you, we've all been there and I feel ya. thumbs up and shares.

[@caravanstaalduinen7308]

Sonreal is my role model I would be lost if I hadn’t heard his songs and he is so kind I wish I could meet him

[@jacobwolfefisher]

What is this? A rap music video with meaningful words, a good female dancer that isnt half naked? Against the grain.

[@rakbess187]

[@BlaxicanBeautyTV333]

No tears, no tears, nope not gonna cry- aw sh1t...

[@tacosgehtrekt8122]

This song makes me tear everytime i listen. humans are such an amazing race. i can honestly say im thankful to be alive.

[@NoahNigurakaKline]

Bruh, this song be the most inspiring out there, honestly though, I can relate, gotta get something to believe in and do it, growing up as a child, I never had a role model to that saying, but as I got older, the bullies kept coming, the remarks I kept listening to, it got to the point, were I was determined to become stronger, push them bullies away and block out negativity, needless to say, not trying to sound rude but I don't know how else to word it, when the chubby kid stood in the mirror and flexed, he was determined to become greater, I can relate to that kid, looking at yourself and seeing a different image in your head, and it burns there, so you have no choice but to follow it and do it, determination isn't hard, just depends on how willing you are to do it... SonReal, you are a god and to you, I salute.

[@iceagod]

WWWOOOWWWW! Just found out SonReal even existed, this is the third song I hear from him and I must say, dude is great! :D You are GREAT SonReal :D

[@efadfa3]

I was listening on my tablet. I played the music video somewhere into the song and just randomly chose a spot to be closer to where the lyrics I heard were. I synced it ±1sec. With first try. It seemed unreal but... It's SonReal.

[@dakotasir9849]

Oldie I never got to before, fantastic

[@donutoplack2436]

Every song you make pulls at me in a different way. its amazing

[@davidmacdonald1855]

[@luisarturobisono6784]

Incredible is how you are not on billboards hotlist, danm, nice song!

[@TheNicoleswilson]

You are so inspiring Aaron! Awesome video.

[@loyin]

Sonreal, you sir are a breath of fresh air in a hip hop world gone stale. This song reaches out and pushes those who listen, those who are still going, still kicking, still believing in ourselves and those who love us. I hate that it took me this long to hear your music, your art. Keep kicking ass, spitting straight fire, and blazing the way for real hip hop.

[@daniell2862]

Just found you, and this is probably the realest video I've seen in a VERY long time. Good god. Keep this up, SonReal, you've got yourself one devoted fan.

[@iamspoots]

This song made me believe in myself, not just my dreams. And I think that's what i really needed if i'm going to make something of any of my ambitions. Thanks for making me smile.

[@teresaannewells2567]

[@jksmith8077]

[@GhostUnlimited]

It boggles my mind how he is not bigger. Then again, I bumped Rittz for like 6 years before he was signed to Strange Music.

[@griffinsmith1954]

You and me both.

[@MrDevinbbb]

Wow man super inspiring, this should be heard all over the world.

[@ljsanipass]

Truly a beautiful video, makes me cry everytime

Good song, good Lyrics, awesome artist, think I'll be listening to your music more often

[@gabrielleploeg4849]

A friend of mine introduced me to you and your music, and I seriously love you! I'm listening to you all day long, everyday ! Thank You ! love you and kisses!

[@josephanderson4023]

Found you less than an hour ago on a different video. Loved them, and then I came across this.. Thank you. This is exactly what I needed today.

[@DJslushy92]

Only saying this because it's true. Back in 09 I found his music. Nitro circus came to NZ and I meet Andy buckworth.... Yes THE Andy buckworth, anyway he showed me this video of him and the background music was sonreal millionaire freestyle and at the time he just did the light year mix tape. Since then sonreal has blown up and he is pretty much the only artist I listen to because these days "finding good hip hop is really hard to find but he blew me away " is pretty much how I sum him up. NZ has some mad respect for you sonreal.

[@nicoargca]

Your songs go deep man...I've been listening to you for quite some time now and every time I want to listen to something meaningful, raw, true and genuine, I always come here. Like a safe haven.

[@JustinHammer36]

SonReal just gained a new fan. Stumbled upon Gold.

[@goinbossnova]

It may have taken a few years to go big, but you're there now. Hope to see you in FL on your upcoming tour. Stay dope, man. Always knew you had what it took

[@ktmuchmusic]

Love this song so much!!!!
