I listned to this song so much when i lost my girlfriend, i was kicked out of home and my mum and dad split, my stepdad is physically and mentally abusive towards me, we had no money and very little food on the table, i was loaded up on speed and ice, i was alone and isolated. It kept me pushing trying to find the light of day. This song helped give me the strenght to keep moving on, to keep fighting with all my strenght mentally and physically. I got my girlfriend back, my relationship with my mum is stable, my dad and i hate each other, im off drugs, im doing year 12, i have a perfect relationship with my girlfriends mum and dad and i love my 5 year old brother and sister and my 3 year old brother with all my heart on my mums side. Thank You Vinnie Paz for bringing a song out which helped me so much in my time of need. You are my role model and idol!!!

This song is the reason many of us are still alive and the only time we come back to this track is when we are in the valley of darkness. Anyone who is walking in a dark road just remember that Everything happens for a sole purpose. Not one rock moves or leaf falls without a purpose. Thank you Vinnie Paz your music has spread your love for hip hop and your struggle is now our struggle. Any one else who has gone through hell and back can relate with your lyrics. “Self revelation is annihilation of the self” from your first letter. Before the great collapse and this song are 1.

Dedicated this to my momma about 10 years ago. Time flies! Crazy how many parts of the song fit my life. Just about the whole song.

Reminds me of an old friend. He told me to make sure I listen to every last bit of the song. That man has been by far the best person I've ever met. If I ever got the chance to go back to California, I'll make sure he knows how much I adore him and miss him.. 😖

I wanna stay alive and see if I can grow

Navana is finding yourself at peace with everything lost in music, like a form of magic in itself, lyrics hit hard when times takes victims, for every fallen legend you live on in memories left by music you liked, music can change your mood within in a seconds

I know that times were hard I know that you've been feelin' down If you only knew how I'm feelin' for you If I could take your pain I wish that I could wash it all away If you only knew how I'm feelin' Mommy I'm sorry if my first letter made you cry To be honest with you I don't think that I wanna die Sometimes I feel like that I'm cancerous in others lives That's prolley why I drink at night and sleep till 4 or 5 It's kinda hard walking through life with my distorted eyes When I was younger I was stupid and I thought I thrived I thought a lot about everything I said in the letter And questioned whether or not if I was dead you'd be better You think my shorty would be happy if I never met her It's too late now mommy I could never forget her Could never forget how she told me to love 'cause my father and my grandmother is always above It's glory above you know that daddy taught me to thug And everytime we was with nanny she'd bombard me with hugs[damn] I MISS 'EM mommy and it's hard to believe That I've grown and I don't understand that why did they leave (Better to die and sleep then never wake and sleep Then linger on and dare to live when your souls life is gone) You've been runnin' around for so long You've been hurting yourself too much You keep messin' around with darkness You're the one whose losin x2 Mommy I think I'm'a that try to stick around a while I got a niece and my nephews they need me around a while I think they need me 'cause they hittin that age And they ain't tryin to speak to Lenny 'cause they spittin' they rage And mommy speakin of Lenny I think my brother need me And we Italian so you know my mother loved to feed me And it's the little things you do for me that make it worth it Like when I play a joint that we did and you say it's perfect And when Jay got knocked you knew that I was hurt You told me to my heart in a song and it worked I promised him I'd be there when he got out the bing You ain't raised me to be a liar ma' that's not my thing I told him that I'd hold him down the whole time that he gone They kept him locked in a cage but that's cool 'cause he's strong So mommy keep that first letter I wrote you on the low I think I wanna stay alive and see if I can grow You've been runnin' around for so long You've been hurting yourself too much You keep messin' around with darkness You're the one whose losing x2 I know that times were hard I know that you've been feelin' down If you only knew how I'm feelin' for you If I could take your pain I wish that I could wash it all away If you only knew how I'm feelin'

When I was admitted to a mental facility I snuck my ipod in & listened to this song on repeat. I eventually got caught but one of the staff members fought for me because she noticed that it helped me so they let me keep it.
