One of the best story telling songs merk has written

Glad to see real rap isnt dead.

Merkules is a huge inspiration for me as an artist. Last year I got shot in an armed robbery the day before my crew and I were supposed to open up for him at a show in Indianapolis. Right now I'm 26 days sober and I'm feeling better than I have in years and even my music has been getting better. One of the things I've learned from going through an outpatient rehab course is that no matter our vice we all have very similar reasons for using. We should all appreciate artists like Merkules who use their platforms to shed light on topics like this. Much love homie keep spitting 🔥 and doing your thing

Sober and feels good no more going through things 67days without H....🤩merk songs help

R.i.p. mom this is my life 100% I miss my mom everyday but I'm glad the hard drugs are gone

As lit as all the other songs are, I can only listen to tracks about how much money someone has one time ... This track though, is a perfect example of why I started fuckin with Merk to begin with. This is a track I can listen to multiple times, and it hits the same, everytime. I hope Merk doesn't stray too far away from songs like this the more successful he becomes. 🔥💯🤘

I Love You Cole Stevenson. The Fact you Love your Fans This Much Poors Love Inside of me. GODS LOVE TRUE LOVE. Thank You.

This song spoke differently 😔

❤️🙏 touches my soul, thanks merk 🤙🏻🙏🤟

This was literally my life growing up except instead of heroin I was addicted to Crystal Meth and Morphine pills. I love Merk for shedding light on both sides of this issue. There is Light even through the darkest of life's moments. I am now 2 years sober and this year is what helped me get the confidence to quit, I now have a supportive partner and am going to college for my master's. Stay strong and peace in this life.❤❤

I feel the vibe through earth. 😉

Captures the struggle so perfectly. If you can stay away it's wonderful but it destroys so many people's lives and not just your own. This indeed is why I starting listening to merkules before he blew up.

Can relate to this song with every word. Recovering heroin addict. Smoked it.... to all the addicts out there, there is hope. Be strong. Mom was an acholic. I LOVE and Miss you so much. RIP AK

This is pure gold. 🔥

Soooo underrated!!!!! You are amazing MERK! Way to represent. Love this song SO much.

Best song on the album! Real life shit Merk!!

We r all the same using shit to take away the pain 19 months off the needle...thank u for the fire to keep me pushing when i wanted to quit

Hey Cole, I dont know if you read these or not but you inspired me to push for better. Thanks Merk

Damn Cole...I’ve been having trouble in my addiction with cocaine this year...slowly losing everything, but oddly enough it was yesterday when I had said it’s enough...I had already quit Hydros cold turkey. I’m sure I can get through this rough road...I just pray that anyone going through addictions...ANY progress is good progress. thanks for this amazing album brother, keep up tha awesome work cole!

Merk is this the beat rappers. You can actually picture what he is saying in his songs. Hope you make it to the top of the top merk

Merk is one of the best artist to have ever picked up a pen and same with snak and evil. Thankyou Merk, keep making amazing music

I feel like you wrote this song for me... i’m going through some things and and praying I get through it. I’m working hard to stay above the water

You keep making tracks like this, I'll keep buying your music.

This shit the truth, and couldn't be worded any better, Hella job merk. Don't change lanes, you killing em all in the fast lane 💯

So real an relatable. Fire. .thanku love an god bless x

This song is real talk!!! SDK or take bath with a toaster

Day 4 of it. Kicking it again for who knows how many times. On and off for 5 years. This song always helps

Merk man idek where to start I was heroin addict for 2 years lost everything and after 1 year clean I literally was 1 minute away from relapse had gotten my dose and everything but right before I smoked up I went on my phone and saw this song clicked it and I wanna say over a year sober still now and it's all cause of u bro I heard this and flushed it all I have no family no friends I' live 1500k away from anyone I know ur music is the only friend I've had for years now sdk is permanently tattooed on my hand just like ur music everyday gives me hope and permanently changes my life

This shit really digs deep for me 😔 as I'm sure it does for millions of others. Love how real your lyrics are merk, your music has helped me with a lot of my own issues. Can't wait for December 3rd at skullys in Columbus bro

Taken from Genius.com [Verse 1] Look at my past and still a part of it's haunting me Probably because I'll never be the man that I want to be Honestly it's been disheartening, it's hard for me constantly When I'm working on this album, I cannot let it bother me, I Never wrote this for no metaphors or bars That ain't my message here at heart, I'm trying to tell you what's been wrong I'm so frustrated, I could put my head right through the wall I take a piss and then this fan wants a selfie at the store He said he listens to my music and it helped him through withdrawals First I judged him then I realized that's selfish and it's wrong He told me he's been smoking heroin, it's scary to think That one day you're doing fine, and then you're there on the brink He doesn't have a lot of friends and his parent's just drink They try to cope with him, no one notices there is a link They're both addicted to devices even thought they're not the same It doesn't change the fact that using both to cope with all the pain His mamma's praying for him every night, hoping that he'll change And she'll use that as an excuse to drink a forty every day Like think about that for a second, how fucked up is it That she's mad that he's fucked up but she get's fucked up with him He's been sober for a like a week, said he's focusing on his dreams But it's been hard for him, withdrawals keep poking at him He just needs support and then he'll see that there's still hope for him, just breathe He said "Merk, I can't believe you just wrote this shit for me" It's real life [Chorus] We're all going through a couple of things I've been drinking 'til I'm numb to be at one with the pain Disappointed with myself, I must be insane But the fucked up thing is that we all are the same We're all going through a couple of things I've been drinking 'til I'm numb to be at one with the pain Disappointed with myself, I must be insane But the fucked up thing is that we all are the same [Verse 2] Now he's anxious and he's dope-sick, praying that he don't slip Hard to face all these emotions when he blatantly can't focus But he's on his second week, starting to get some better sleep The other day he even smiled, the results are bitter sweet Every time you see him notice that he's sober you can see That he's happy, but he's nervous 'bout this person he could be And his mamma's there with him, she's being there for her kid But every time she leaves the room, she sneak away for a swig 'Cause she ain't able to quit, and her DNA say's to drink But that's not fair to him, he can't see her wasted like this Now he's on his first month, man that's thirty whole days That he stayed away from heroin, I'm sure he feels great He keeps asking 'bout his mom, their like "I'm sure she's okay" But they don't know that she's at home, drinking bourbon all day He needs to turn a new page, he can't believe that she just left him On his way out, he say them bring his mom in on a stretcher What the fuck [Chorus] We're all going through a couple of things I've been drinking 'til I'm numb to be at one with the pain Disappointed with myself, I must be insane But the fucked up thing is that we all are the same We're all going through a couple of things I've been drinking 'til I'm numb to be at one with the pain Disappointed with myself, I must be insane But the fucked up thing is that we all are the same

Love who you fear the most

I felt this one...... 100 % my life

This song needs more recognition

This hits me hard man.... Luv ya merk

Chills incarnate

merk thanks for keeping hip hop alive

My mom didn't start her drinking habit until she was about 55. Now it's a bottle of wine per night. Which doesn't sound like much but she's only 5ft tall 120lb. My father's health isn't So Good. I fear that when he dies ahead of his time that she will go off the deep end. I love her so much but I can't be around her because I need to be clean before I start a family late at 36yo. She was drunk on Christmas day and that really fucked me up. I just hope my dad stays strong, he has always been a pillar.

long live merk

I've been fighting my addiction while trying to maintain, with a romance and two kids of my own plus her lil girl bro, don't bet that I won't do anything to provide, but merk I'm 25 and I got this hurt like since I was 13 I died in the dirt but God brought me back so now I'm here and ever since I've fighting a relapse.

Tears

Yo I love this album. Big ups fam!! You've helped me through alot man, I truly feel this track. I been drinking 40oz bottles everyday for over a year trying to quit just made dive back into a liquor bottle, just tryna cope with god knows what because I forgot a long time ago. Every days been harder and harder, just would like to find a way out. Atm I'm drinking a bottle of rum like its water cant drink shit else since my body just rejects it, would like to see a brighter day, then I just tend to drift away. In the past 6months I've lost my sons faith in me, totalled my ride completely and lost my girl that I've had for 4years. All I've got now is this shitty empty ass apartment and a business ive been clinging onto for over 2years now. At this point I've lost so much hope. Honestly idk how I keep waking up every day,

This is exactly like my fentanyl addiction. #wewillrecover

Dammm this hits deep

#KeepMerkinEm Dope shit!

🙏🙏

Real talk

Damn! 🔥🔥🔥

Real shit

This shits too real...
