he wrote this song in prison and recorded and sent it to his mom on a contraband cell phone. the original beat was just him banging on his cell wall but after he was released he created this version

For me, it’s seeing so many young adults in jail or dead, I’m barely older than melly and the same age as juice wrld. It’s so sad

with the music, the timeline, the jail scenes and the little argument when he finds the gun genuinely brought tears to my eyes watching it the first time

I’m from Gifford and I used to live 2 blocks from Melly and my older sister went to school with him, everyone thought of him as kind of an outcast in a way. Met a few people from YNW too, I love them all

Hey man, the ending scene with the children in the cell is to represent how the mothers still see their sons as children

Fun fact: YNW Melly wrote this song while he was in jail

That is his mom. And the beginning is footage from the 2nd time he was locked up, I might be wrong. But the rest is a music video. It sucks that it takes a village to raise a child, but this is an outcome due to a kid with mental health issues that was never dealt with bc it wasn't provided. If society deems you a bad kid and instead of finding the reasoning behind their actions OR trying to reach out to show they matter; they our often cast aside as a lost cause. Usually, when the parent(s) notices its to late, and can only support or turn their backs. If parents, teachers, neighbors, family members ect ect, noticed the problems and at least attempted to care maybe there wouldn't be all these kids ki**ing eachother or themselves, sh**ting up schools, and OD'ing on drugs bc they don't think their life is valued high enough to be worthy of living. When most find their way behind bars and do their time and want to do better, they get out and are still deemed bad and still a lost cause. If no one will hire you, if society soley judges you on your past mistakes and not your present actions and future plans, what do you do? You have to make money, right? Have to pay your parole or probation fee's or go back. Have to take care of your responsibilities. Your left with the only choice you know and that is life that got you locked up in the first place. This kid has been mistreated for the last 3 years behind bars for supposedly ki**ng his 2 friends. Mur*er trials from arrest to verdict is 18 months at the longest. He didnt run. He turned himself in, when the warrent was issued. Others online admitted to the mu*der, no investigation. He has asked for a speedy trial (60 days) 3 times and has been denied. Has had covid twice. Has abscesses around his permanent grills and has been denied a health professional everytime. There is no concrete evidence against him just speculation. No weapon. No gun powder residue found or tested on him or his clothes. No DNA evidence found on him. The bullet holes were measured by a peice of string. The detective threw away evidence and then replaced it from memory. All anybody can point out is song he made 2yrs prior. And the car was his. But everyone agrees with the media and not the facts. It is so sad. If he is found guilty he needs to be punished, but he shouldn't be treated guilty until proven innocent. As an American, no matter his past, he deserves a fair trial. His mental health was messed up before imagine how it is now or how its going to be if he is proved innocent. If your going to be treated as a criminal regardless what is the point of not being one?

you the goat for reacting to this man. love your vids as always🖤

This man always got the best reactions

I got arrested at 16 with 2 felonies.. childhood can affect adulthood. Be there for your kids. My parents were never there for me and my actions as a teen were effected by that. Luckily it "only" took a couple of times getting In trouble and had a good mentor (afterwards) that put me on the right path. I haven't spoke to him in a while but I appreciate him more than words can describe. Kids are not adults, so don't treat them as such.

I feel so bad for Melly. Bros gonna be in there for life now. Ima miss him

I only have one thing to say, I been waiting for „mama cry“ like truly forever, was one of some i always used to comment when it comes to Melly, i saw u dropping the vid but now i found time to watch n listen 😁😮‍💨🖤

I've been wanting this one let's go tom!!

Happy af to come across your channel🔥🔥🔥 always wanted to hear a psychologists point of view

A masterpiece. Melly is one of the best artists of his generation in my opinion. Immaculate voice for multiple types of songs. Tragic story. I seriously empathize for his mother.

Love your videos, you always make my day

Was waiting for this one

Great reactions! Loving the hardwork you put into making these videos for us! Here i have some song recomendations: Twisted-Eminem Sara-We Three Mary Go Round-MachineGunKelly Dr*gDealer-Macklemore Otherside-Macklemore

Man…FreeMelly, to me this cellrecording & the actual Song always shows how incredibly talented this young guy is, and people like Juice Wrld or TrippieRedd, etc. recognized that too. Im 100% honest here, this Track, especially with the video, always got me close to crying and i am an 22years old boy ahhaha this hits different 🥲 Also purely honest what he puts in there lyricwise and w his voice

And also since i havent seen somebody saying it yet, this indeed is his Mum, which makes this another kind of impactful. I knew bout the Story how Melly made up this Song in jail while being locked up, everyone should give it a watch who hasnt already 😪 mad talented and hits the feels

YES! We got him to react. Appreciate the consistent videos 💪

It's so cool to see you react too videos. You go so deep! Most appropriate 💯🔥

Great Reactions keep it up

I like watching your videos because i try to focus on learning whats normal whats not , whats right or wrong and learning empathy in general , i like how u see stuff even that i think ur a bit soft but still

Melly is now in prison for a double murder. He just got off the death penalty. But is still facing life in prison.

Let’s goooo I love these videos

Great reaction Tom and nick

Awesome one

after this song i don't got murder on my mind. I got tears on my eyes.

Uau, i've been waiting some days for that!!! Yesssss sir

Yes tom thank you 🙌

The hurricane is the guards coming in and destroying his cell looking for whatever

you should really look into the album we're all alone in this together by dave

Finallyyyy

You should react to: New chains, Same Shackles And Hard to tell. Maybe even O Pana! By the suicideboy (all of them)

good luck to the astors in the world series few more games to go lets see if u guys can make it

Can you react to mind on my murder is the alternative version of murder on my mind by ynw melly, love from Italy❤

Yo I need you as any therapy. How can I reach out to you.

Have you reacted to Lil Uzi’s Dark Queen yet?

As a single mother of a biracial son, having him been in juvenile detention, this song makes me cry every single time.

tossing my hat into the ring for New Artist uploads.....id recommend I Prevail-Breaking down (dealing with depression) and Bring Me The Horizon- TearDrops (or can you feel my heart)

the MV of the lil kid growing up and then playing in the living room with a toy gun and then finding a real gun under the couch was real and happened to Melly when he was 15 or 16 I think, who then fired it into a group of people at his highschool, he was then arrested and while locked up wrote and recorded an (original version) of this in a cell just singing with real maturity in his voice and thumping his fist on his chest

You should react to the song city girls by ynw melly, the song and music video are great and meaningful

It will be lovely if you could do a reaction to "Complete - Jordan". I find it right on the spot for chanel topic.

Melly is magic

My dad just recently got arrested for the first time but he’s getting 10 to life I’m the second oldest at 14 and the youngest at 6 it’s sad my little brother wont get to see him out of jail till he’s 16

That intro was Melly turning himself into the police, and there is videos of him singing this song in jail so he came up with this in jail

Please do spm or king lil g next

bro aint ever getting out

i have a suggestion for your next reaction you should listen to death bedz by EBK jaaybo he is one of the hottest in california and he’s a real gangster but he made an album talking about his feelings and being on the streets of stockton and it’s definitely worth a reaction

8:08 or 8:09 thru 8:11 I think. Is the best vocal ever

idk if you have but you should react to suicidal by juice and melly

Lets goooo

THIS IS WHNE HE TURNED HIMSELF IN ALSO HE IS IN JAIL RIGHT NOW AND HE HAS ULCER AND HE ISNT GETTING IT FIXED THEY ARENT LETTING HIM SEE THE DENTIST FOR IT AND HE HAS PERMANINT GRILLS AND THEY NEED A LOT OF MAITNECE AND THAT IS WHY HE HAS THE ULCER AND THEY WONT LET HIM FIX IT ITS ACTUALLY SICK WHAT THERE DOING TO HIM

You should react to hair by the $uicideboy$ and I love your content

Melly the melodic prince 🤴

Can you react to Nascar aloe Heavan Part 3?

React to mind on murder is part two of murder on my mind

He actually found that real gun under his bed he had no clue it was there and he did really shoot it as a kid not knowing that it was real

I think you should do some reactions to lil durk and king von

Don't ever break the law, all those out there, cause I will tell you from experience that jail will not only take a part of your life from you, it will take a part of your soul. For good. And I'll tell you it won't come back, even out in freedom I still feel like I'm locked up and I always will and I'm sure there are lots out there that feel the same.

I hope someone recommends mind on my murder
