The extended intro makes the other verses hit so much harder.

100/10

[as]

One of his greatest songs and madly underrated

[-Sir_eli-]

Possibly one of the greatest samples in rap history

[L.ATRAFFICNMADNESS]

I've slept on Kanye for so long, never gave him a chance

He's a musical genius
A pioneer and legend in hip hop

[GNo]

The piano chord at “to find your dreams come true” is the most emotional shit ever 😔

[jjosephh]

he made graduation. he made graduation. he made graduation. he made graduation. he made graduation.

[locky]

This is so subtle, Kanye talks about how some people waste they're life on bad decisions, instead of following your dreams and finding real happiness. He uses the example of a career woman, she's independent but that didn't bring her happiness, he talks about how she would trade her current life for a husband and some kids. What did her career really mean if it didn't bring her happiness? Where is life's meaning if we continue to choose things that make us unhappy? "You ever wonder if you'll find yo dreams?" We can all take steps to improve our life's, and at the end of the day, what's the point of living if we're perpetually unhappy?

[LloydIndigo]

"this is my song, and no one can take it away"

Kanye:

[dmwalter]

“Do you even remember what the issue is?
You just tryna find where the tissue is.
You can still be who you wish you is.
It ain’t happened yet, and thats what intuition is.”

seriously some of the most motivating words ive ever heard

[violetgumibear]

This is one of those songs that elevates you to a higher level, just to drop you off on your own.

[enr]

The whole Graduation album is a banger.

[diorcloud]

I lost my brother a few years ago. He introduced me to Kanye. I remember watching him purchase this album at a store. We would sit down and talk about how Kanye is an amazing artist with the mind of a unique individual. To this day this album will always be my favorite album of all time! This was was my big brothers favorite. Still have that CD in a safe.

[blacctoad]

This was my best friend's favorite song from Kanye. He would just play that song on repeat and I wouldn't have any problem with it because it was also one of my favorites. He passed away last December due to cancer, and he was closer to me than my actual siblings.

EDIT: Thank you to everyone's responses. I'm doing the best I can currently. My wife and my kids have been keeping my spirits up nowadays.

[BillClintonsDad]

I’ve heard this sound hundreds of time, first time hearing the extended version. Only makes it better.

[HigherLearning]

This album is a classic at this point. I can't believe it's almost 15 years old.

[certainlynotmichael]

Man if I'm being honest. I'm lost in life. I don't know how I want it to go. And I don't really want to live either, but everytime I turn on this song It brings joy. This was the first kanye song I listened to during my depression. Whenever I hear this song it makes me forget about everything. I feel like I can relax. I use this as an escape. This song is truely a musical master peice. Thank you kanye.

Edit: I've been doing so much better now. Thank you all for the kind words. I'm still not certain how life will go. But I'm certain it'll be worth living to find out. I'm serious, thank you guys.

[xavierstillundefeated]

Update: Thank you for all the views and for sharing your experiences with this song in the comments. It's super heartwarming and I'm very grateful.

[bjgardner]

3:21 gives me chills everytime. What a legend

[vigilantslacker]

If you are a fan of Kanye, you are a fan of yourself
