In short, there are certainly songs that I have written that have served as a means to "heal" and this song in particular is just one of those songs where I don't often ever perform Live, due to the depth and nature of the song and how emotional it makes me.
I want nothing but to honor God and honor my parents and that me and my father continue to have a healthier relationship and that I continue to be a better father on the daily to my own children and they learn from me the love that God instills within me and what I share through to you all with my music.

Verbal D Verse 1: I walk around the city and people say I’m handsome, But Dad, you’re the type to keep for ransom. People compliment you, all proud shaking your hand some Cause you selling cars, working hard, sweatin’ and some
There’s no spitting these bars like I planned ‘em So much to say in the way that seems random See you at the top, so don’t you ever drop But even if you did, then I’d be jumping for you, tandem
…Father-son relationship’s not quite a warzone I hate when things pop off like a handgun …Sometimes we have some disagreements rather than fun But you’re only one phone call away on my Samsung
I wish we talked more, this love that we fought for Lines be getting choked up and tied into knot cords Sometimes I can’t express the things I need to say So I made this song purely for the love that I’ve brought forth
D'Angelo Chorus: That’s love, That’s love, That’s love(x4) That’s love (x2)
Verbal D Verse 2: Some children grow up without having a father. The ones who walk out like why should I bother? Where being a dad is more an inconvenience. And raising their kids with no love or lenience
Some people weren’t meant to be parents Living for themselves, like their kids were transparent Or translucent, what a nuisance Some people beat their kids for amusement
That’s not something to laugh about Seeing the value of the children by half amounts When I’m father, I won’t have a doubt That I’ll love em all regardless whether short and stout,
Got a thick snout, big mouth, small face, tall base, All waist, smart, dumb or accident prone I will love them all the same Just like you love me now and in the past, so don’t change
D'Angelo Chorus: That’s love, That’s love, That’s love(x4) That’s love (x2)
Verbal D Verse 3: In this moment I record, It’s never “I be bored” You can feel my feelings in the way that I keyboard Open up your arms And let me just lean forward Cause when I think of you There’s a place that I reach for
It’s your heart, your soul, your mind And I’m very proud of you from the distance you climbed You took our family from the ghettoes From the gutter to the meadows Just to bring us up another level
Not sleeping on the ground Got a bed with a pillow That’s deep appreciation Like the notes on a cello For less you never settled Did whatever it took To raise us right So you never got shook
Even through hard times, You never got hooked down Now we at the top, So we're looking around Many haters everywhere, Only looking to clown Cause they’re jealous that my father brought us up from the ground, yeah
D'Angelo Chorus: That’s love, That’s love, That’s love(x4) That’s love (x2)
