[@lasveryown664]

Love yourz literally saved me when I was a teenager in late 2014 early 2015. Literally I was going through it seeing my mom drink her pain away from the trauma of my dad and her ex boyfriend picking on her til they left her, and dealing with being broke trying so hard to make it with hustling all at 15. It’s almost 9 years later and literally I’m still here listening to the song and getting flooded with memories from this one song. This song literally helped me so much with pain I was going through it felt as if I had no love in my life pops was gone mom was there but wasn’t there, I was the grown up parenting my brothers, and providing as much as I could with what I had. Grinding all my life for them

[@sleazus333]

[@frankp.3916]

This song will forever be one of my favorites and forever in my heart. Few months after this album came out. I just moved back to my hometown. We just had our 1st son and in moving back i left my job and was looking for work. My car cd player just happened to get this cd stuck. It would not eject. Same day i get a call back for a job. Next morning and every morning after that i'd listen to this song on the way to work at 4am. And listen to the rest of the album on the drive home. Made me appreciate everything and get me ready for everyday ❤
