    Worked last night. Studied for an exam all day. Cooked, cleaned, homeschooled, changed diapers and gave hugs in between it all. Came up for air and found this video. I shed tears. Thank you for this song✊🏿.

      I’d put the kids to sleep after a long day of taking care of everything and I was catching up on work when I found it...I can relate. It’s so thoughtful to have this piece of art to further these conversations about how society “deals” with us as black women.

    As a married working man, that initial dialogue really made me contemplate. I am my best version at work,but when I'm at home I feel like I don't try as hard to please my wife like I do my boss. Considering I don't even like my boss, I find this fact quite sad. This is true art here.

We lack unity and far as my experience as a good God goes. Our Women and women as a whole... their government (not ours) is our enemies..Its no God outside of you. We all we have. God is love.

    The amazing thing is that his music videos have so much depth and it feels like an entirely new and independent project which is focussed on even more elaborate storytelling. Crazy hard work and dedication. Even after 20 years or more, we will come back and submerge ourselves into these masterpieces which are indeed independent of the time they were made in. Humbleness, honesty and truth is striking out. Truly blessed to hear, see and feel pure art from this master storyteller.

    Rapture Lyric
    Imagine a day without women (Women)
    I bet your first thought was "Who 'bout to take care of the children?" (Children)
    That's just like us, placin' all of their value in rearin'
    Lil' versions of our imperfect hearts on the surface
    Hard to work with soft at the core, won't explore past traumas, just to make sure he could be a good father (Yeah)
    Imagine they missin' from starter (Starter)
    We stuck in predicament that we can't fix with our wallets
    Now we must deal with our garbage, baggage
    Imaginе a world with no magic (No magic)
    It must be so apocalyptic (Yeah)
    Ain't no colder prеdicament (Yeah)
    Imagine God, say she sick of it
    And took all our women
    [Chorus]
    (This time we're gonna see, I'll save you
    This time we're gonna see, I'll save you)
    The rapture
    (This time we're gonna see, I'll save you
    This time we're gonna see, I'll save you)
    [Verse 2]
    Imagine a world with no flowers (Oh)
    Imagine all sand but no beach, no sweet only sour
    No leaves on the trees, zero oxygen, I can't breathe, I believe
    Heroes often wear my [?] prophets, then prophesize of this day, ain't believe 'em
    Just like a nigga that think she won't leave him
    Blink of an eye, you went to the sky
    I know you see him lookin' down, ain't you disappointed?
    It took this fast to get the point and
    Took a picture, then disappear, missin' mornings
    With you wakin' up next to me
    Breakfast in bed, should've did that more regularly
    Bacon and eggs, be the least we could to show you we appreciate you but it's too late
    Heaven got you in your true state
    Listen here to what the fool say when you're gone
    [Chorus]
    (This time we're gonna see, I'll save you
    This time we're gonna see, I'll save you)
    The rapture
    (This time we're gonna see, I'll save you
    This time we're gonna see, I'll save you)
    [Verse 3]
    Imagine you was only dreamin' (Yeah)
    Imagine you wakin' up, holdin' and squeezin' the show
    Wonder just how you feel in every moment
    Knowin' that she could be gone and Heaven's home to all of the children (Yeah)
    After that vision I'm willin' to listen
    After that sentence to an existence without passion, I'd risk it all to give it all right back to a woman
    Can't turn our backs on the women
    Do more than chill and relax on a woman
    Took you the bag, and invest the stashed
    Lil' boy gon' be man, can't place a tag
    With a price on a life, with the right woman
    Ike with the right, try to fight women
    Die, nigga die if you strike women (Yeah)
    I question if you even like women (Yeah)
    Your breath could leave you in a second, nigga
    Real niggas lay down, protectin' women
    Still recognize that I ain't perfect, got a dozen thanks to her
    And cause stress for the women
    God bless 'em
    Life served me hard lessons (Hard lessons)
    Just keep in mind this season time ends
    The womb is where all life begins, no world without women
    [Chorus]
    (This time we're gonna see, I'll save you
    This time we're gonna see, I'll save you
    This time we're gonna see, I'll save you
    This time we're gonna see, I'll save you
    This time we're gonna see, I'll save you
    This time we're gonna see, I'll save you
    This time we're gonna see, I'll save you
    This time we're gonna see, I'll save you
    This time we're gonna see, I'll save you
    This time we're gonna see, I'll save you
    This time we're gonna see, I'll save you
    This time we're gonna see, I'll save you
    This time we're gonna see, I'll save you
    This time we're gonna see, I'll save you
    This time we're gonna see, I'll save you
    This time we're gonna see, I'll save you
    This time we're gonna see, I'll save you
    This time we're gonna see, I'll save you
    This time we're gonna see, I'll save you)
    The rapture
    (This time we're gonna see, I'll save you)

    The beginning of this is so wild, cuz as a black man I consider this everyday. As a black man that is attracted to men and women, I feel it on a weird level......... SMOKE....... I fully respect and appreciate your talent, vision, and ability to convey a message
