Never grew up with a DAD, he around but it like he dead. I Thank my heavenly farther for Parenting me. Am no less of a MAN infact even better more of a MAN dan MOST......Look to your heavenly farther for Guidance and he will be your guide. REAL!
@simply5683 I'm guessing you're a PK (pastor's kid), that or your parents are deep in ministry, anywho... You need to know your parents love you, and you should tell them how you feel.
ha i can relate to this song my dad is here den hes gone he didnt teach me to be a man my mom tries to but thats not her job to teach me to be a man so its hard lowkey it is
@NoahMillerRox He around at least Ma Dad came in and out coz of his job taking overseas all da time then 2008 divorce and now havnt seen him for almost 2 years. Just b thankful he still around at least you still have hope of him parenting u in da future.
When I grew up I used to hate my father for never being home with me. Now being a father of two girls i now know how hard it is when i am gone all the time working and never give them the time they need and now understand that its not easy being gone all the time this song made me cry and realize how much i do need to be there for them

I came across this video by my exboyfriends mom and it explains almost exactly whats going on in my life and if it wasnt for my exboyfriend and his parents i probably wouldnt strive to live for Christ even though my mom does!!
Wow. I God led me to this video the night after telling my dad the exact word in this song. My dad was never there for me when I was young, he worked so hard and never had any time for me to the piont where I grew up wondering if he cared for me. I'm 18 now and about to move out of home and for the first time in my life my father apologised for never being there for me when I needed him. God is so good for the healing that he can provide.
I thank God that Json made this song. I always thought it was annoying when my parents were always pushing, nagging and on me about every aspect of my life. Now I look back and see it was all out of love like the love that Jesus has for us. I got alotta friends that don't have parents and I feel for em.
i feel like i get looked over by my family and this song speaks to my need i just wish they would pay attention they only do when im at sports game and it hurts
Amen to the comment bellow me. I have two adopted siblings and i praise jesus their mine! But i wonder if we never adopted them he couldve been on the streets selling drugs or my sister sold into prostetuion i love the many ways he is faithful and true! I pray that if you feel a calling from God you will not put it aside and forget it but pursue it God works inmysterious ways!!!
that's what we need more in this world. I feel God has called me to work with inner city children and foster kids cuz they need someone to LOVE them. I can't do that alone plz don't think i good enough i can only show God's love to them i can't do it alone! I'll be going to college in 3 yrs and i want God to work with me so i can shine His glory an show love to the children that need Him. <3
"if you walk out that door youre gonna be just like your daddy" :( we're an angry, hurt people, on both sides. Jesus, come back into our families! we need You and we want You. thank You for how kind You are, merciful and gracious, and that You will remember us.
i need prayer bad i feel exactly like these lyrics in this song i really need strength to stay strong and pray that one day my dad would understand how bad i'm hurt. keep me lifted up in your prayers please
@ripsbabegirl32 ill pray for you, esp because i know how that is with a parent and how you feel. id really like to swap email and talk more, if you want to. ,lisa
amazing song and video!! Gives me chills every time I watch it...its a shame though it only has 17 thousand views... This is a song the world desperately needs to hear!!
Wow!!! This song is soooooooo real. I've been in this situation on the Child's side and on the Parent side... I Praise God that he showed mercy on my and family and kids and didn't let it get to that he showed me how to love my family the way Jesus loves us and he continues to show me. Please anyone listening; Priorities in life should be directed by the word of GOD!!
I showed this to my mom recently, and she loved it! She said "Sadly this song is true, I'm gonna try to put you and your brothers before anything." Praise God for her!!
@denolaj i dunno...while it's harder for single parents to do the same job, it is possible...i'm the product of a single parent raising and while i would have greatly benefited from a stronger make presence my mom always made me and my sib feel the center of her world...harder for single parents for sure but doable, imo =)
@denolaj not sure if you noticed but the first and second verses are single parent homes. The first verst no father is present at all. The second verse the Father does not live in the home
Thanks for the reply. I suffer from being overly critical :)
I also lived in a one parent family, with 'new' fathers from time to time. Still I don't want to use having only one parent at home as an excuse for my own choices. Likewise, it seems that you are criticizing the parents for actually working to provide (I know you don't, the first lines say that), but it's more complicated than blaming one side. A story always has two sides. Parenting is one, choosing for your own another.
That is true, but it's much easier to fall in the looking for the answers in the wrong places, when the parent is not the to train a child up in the way they should go.
wow. this is a very powerful song. i've been hearing some great music from christian rappers lately. they have really stepped up to the plate and really started teaching and showing people, praise God.
many people comment saying what does this song have to do with Christianity but I think it has to do a lot with it cos the family unit was created by God.
amazing song/ video really an eye opener to the life we live in. more and more parents are being best friends there kids rather than their parents and their authority.
Man this track got a few tears buildin up in my eyes. I grew up without my parents being around (my dad was around occasionally). I'm a Christian rapper and this is one topic that I always want to just rap about, but I think Json and JR beat me to the punch on this one.
Wow this song and the video is so reality...I wish every parent all over the world could grab a hold of this message and re-evaluate some things. Keep bringing the truth bro!
Time and acceptance is what children need! All this extra stuff, phones, cars etc. is extra, and stuff! There are no bad children, or willful or spoiled children born, children learn these behaviors from the caretakers. These behaviors are a result of parenting skills that are not present! I love this video!
Technically a good video, I teared up, sometimes as a parent you need a reminder that you are on the right track regardless of what others say Json, God bless and keep you
Json thanx for this video cuz it's so real and truly what we need to help turn our culture around. I've told lots of folks about this song and now to have the video its on. I'm glad the Passion continues. Keep up the good work "Soldier" We Need You!! Pops
Yo that third verse was it right there. first two verses were good, familiar, expected scenarios but the third verse REALLY completed the song. Good Work JSON!
