well , when i was little my dad left me i had a pretty hard life just like mgk ....i found mgks music in 2011 and i just deadicated my self to his music he is no longer just a popstar to me he is a friend ..... when i was younger my mom about died of cancer twice my family honestly dont take me as i am...Lace up is like a family to me it means alot because i feel that we all cant relate one way or another cause everyone has a way to connect to the real them and i guess this is more of ours. Not alot of people understand me so i used to try to stay in the shadows but i know now that i can do anything as long as i can believe in myself.......Machine gun kelly honestly helped me know what i am going to do in life ... i want to make differences in peoples life just like he did mine.....he's not just some random nigga he actully means something to me im not a just a fan i want to be a friend to him cause that is the kind of people i respect.... Mgk inspierd me to live the life i always wanted to live...and that means alot to me yes ive made so many mistakes in my life but i learn from them as i go ...if i ever got to meet mgk ...im not saying i wouldnt be excited but i wouldnt look at him as a famous person i would look at him as i would if i've known him for my whole life... thank you Mgk for giving me the courge to be me... est for life..!!! To all you mgk fans i would say that we all have our different meaning of what lace up and est for life means and what mgk means to us ...but est for life is just somthing i cant even put in words......i dont care if you shot someone ,,,, because people will judge you about your past but i wont judge you if i dont know you and you never know it couldve been a accident .... but if your part of lace up your welcomed in my heart...! Mgk i just wanna thank you so much for all you have done for us...and for all what you have done for ,me it means so much that i wanna tell all my kids when i get older bout how i became myslef and how a special person like u helped me .... Mgk you are a awsomee Person.....God Bless you..
