Was 17 when this came out. Was going through severe addiction, lost loved ones back to back, attempted and failed suicide, completely lost. This song, I always went to it. When I was cold and shaking, wrapping up in a jacket, played this. Sober, trying to fight withdrawal. Played this. Coming to grips with losing people, played this. And all these years have gone by, I won’t lie, I’m not in a good place, but I’m far from where I used to be, but I’m always here, playing this song.

I used to listen to this when I was all alone, when I was at the end of my rope, when nothing could fill the empty I felt inside. I'm still healing, and this is a good reminder of how far I've truly come since then.

I found X's music when I was 15 in my sophomore year of highschool. I am now 20 years old and going to college. I never imagined how much of an impact he would of had on the music industry and on me. Like many others X saved me when I was in a dark place and he offered a sense of comfort in his music. I will never forget the life long impression you have made R.I.P Jah.

One of the deepest pains is watching everyone around you move on while you are stuck wishing you were in the past.

So nostalgic. Listening to x before he blew up felt different, still great after but his older stuff, 17 and back is amazing. I feel bad for anyone who didnt experience it, but im glad he’ll never be forgotten because of unique music like this and legendary fan edits like this one

Damn bro, I miss being 16 going on 17 in 11th grade. This song, hell even other SoundCloud rappers and some of their music, was a big staple of life. And I didn’t notice it, but those were a few good golden years, even with all the hardship I faced. And now, I can tell those days, even something to compare, will never come back. I’m 24 now. Those years will always mean something, these artists will always mean something. And so will their songs. Can’t tell you how many times this song really helped, and when he dropped 17 is was literally a few days before my 18th birthday, and possibly one of the most fucked up times of my life. R.I.P King

This song was a secret message, let me fill you in. The title, "I spoke to the devil in Miami, and he said everything would be fine" is literal. Miami is where X sold his soul to Satan for fame and fortune, when he was 17 (hence his albums name). I will now go into my take on this songs lyrical breakdown. (one thing to note is that he is telling a chronological story of the "conversation" he has with Satan) Intro - "It will all be over soon" ---- X was aware that his death was going to be very soon Verse - "I'm always where the sun dont shine, the tears dont show, wont hurt me now 'cause hearts been broke, i hate myself, but it wont show, i constantly lose all my remorse" ---- he starts off by telling us that before he sold his soul, he was very depressed Verse - "And its ten for the wolf, and three for the shepherd" --- in this analogy Satan is the wolf while X is the shepherd. If you arent familiar with this story, a wolf once stayed by a flock of sheep led by a shepherd for a long time, but never did anything to the sheep. One day, the shepherd left his flock with the wolf, for he trusted the wolf. When the shepherd came back to his flock, they were all dead. Through the wolf's cunning, he deceived the shepherd. Satan deceived X into selling his soul for fame and fortune, but in the end, Satan won the trade. Verse - "and it's one for the sheep who Led by your leopard, often gave his perception as a Handle of weapon, took a bite of your apple, give me All you can offer" ---- In this analogy, X is the sheep, while Satan (or one of his demons) is the leopard. Satan used his PERCEPTION (satan is a master deceiver) to deceive X into TAKING A BITE OF HIS APPLE (or selling his soul), in exchange for all Satan could offer X (fame and fortune) Verse - "now I'm trapped in a changing maze Setting my soul ablaze, couldn't control the pace Where is this going?" ---- Since trading his soul to the devil, X is no longer himself, now all he can do is ask himself the question "Where do 'I' go from here?" Verse - "Heartless is recklessness" ---- Remember earlier in the song when X said his heart was broke? Well, because he was heartless, he did not care about anything and was reckless because of it, which led to him selling his soul to the devil. Verse - " it's War with the pacifist to word of a masochist, I'm Off of the map," ----- X doesn't know whether to side with God or Satan, so for the time being he chooses neither. Verse - " my Lord, I spoke to a Baphomet, he Said he would save me if I gave him one thing you needed "What is this thing?", I pleaded boy, it's the key to even, yeah" ---- Satan tells X what he wants from him, Jahsey Onfroy's Key To Heaven.... his soul. Verse - "And as I spoke, my fangs were shown Taken aback, he smiles and tells me "What you crave will soon be yours But what I crave is already mine" Anima vestra Anima Anima vestra Anima" ---- By this point in the song the deal has been made, X sold his soul to Satan. Satan tells X that soon enough he will receive the fame and fortune he craved, but what SATAN craved, he already has, Anima Vestra. (anima vestra means YOUR SOUL).
