With “Until I’m Gone,” Derek Minor wants to tell people that regardless of where they go and what they accomplish, to never forget where they came from. “Never forget the people that were there for you. I’ve been making music since I was a fifteen-year-old. [My family] watched me grow from being a very horrible, not really good fifteen-year-old rapper to a guy being covered in Billboard, with a Grammy Award, Stellar Award.”
Minor says that he loves the support he receives from his family, and wanted to show how much he appreciates them in this song and its music video.
“Things Fall Apart” talks about trying to put pieces of life back together when they fall apart.
“When we try to put them back together sometimes that doesn’t work out the way we planned, but God is the ultimate cleaner upper. He is the ultimate fixer; He fixes everything.”
Derek Minor says that when our lives fall apart, we have to run to God because only he can put it back together the right way.
