This track breaks and fills my heart all at once. Beautiful.

One of my favorite songs. It’s truly something special

A bird with the word came to me
The sweetness of a honeycomb tree
And now my look was taking over me
Couldn't fake it if I wanted to
I had to wake up just to make it through
I got my patience and I'm making due
I learned my lessons from the ancient roots
I choose to follow what the greatest do
A bird with a word came to me
The sweetness of a honeycomb tree
And now I look it's taking over me
Couldn't fake it if I wanted to
I had to wake up, just to make it through
I got my patience and I'm making due
I learned my lessons from the ancient roots
I choose to follow what the greatest do
I'm repping for the longest cycle, mmm
My uncles had to pay the cost, mmm
My sister used to sing to Whitney, mmm
My mama caught the gambling bug, mmm
We came up in a lonely castle, mmm
My papa was behind them bars, mmm
We never had to want for nothing, mmm
Said all we ever need is love, mmm
We see the same things
Oh-oh-oh
We sing the same songs
Oh-oh-oh
We feel the same grief
Oh-oh-oh
Bleed the same blood
You grew up in the home beside me
I always had a friend to call
How could I make it here without you? Mmm
I pray I leave before you're gone
A bird with a word came to me
The sweetness of a honeycomb tree
And now I look, what's taking over me
Couldn't fake it if I wanted to
I had to wake up, just to make it through
I got my patience and I'm making due
I learned my lessons from the ancient roots
I choose to follow what the greatest do
A bird with a word came to me
The sweetness of a honeycomb tree
And now I look, what's taking over me
Couldn't fake it if I wanted to
I had to wake up, just to make it through
I got my patience and I'm making due
I learned my lessons from the ancient roots
I choose to follow what the greatest do
Hey, my little youth is crying
I'm almost home, almost home
Look no further riots, mmm
Working my fingers to the bone
See I do the best I can, mmm
Mama was a farmer, mmm
Papa was a gonner, mmm

This is not clean lol

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

My goodness -- if this ain't an "instant classic" than I don't know what is. I mean, this really is special, imho, whether the public realizes it or not
I wish he'd make more songs like this instead of so much dirty music. The craft of this song is rare and the other, cussing and dirty music, is not.. This kind of song will withstand everything and stand the test of time, me thinks.

I wish you all a better life.

Man Paak killed it on npr tiny desk!

Now I finally see why this man is a big deal like women go crazy for him
Lol

So, story is, I was playing Forza Horizon on my Xbox and one of his musics came up in the game. As usual when this happens I went on YouTube to check it out, ended up coming across this album and had to order the Vinyl. This was very unexpected to me, this is one of the best albums I've ever listened to. There's hope!

This is heaven

Michael Lessard from The Contortionist brought me here!

The guitar reminds me a lot of Zbigniew Gorny - Crushed Ice (via: https://youtu.be/a7geTxqMxY8 )

402 people didn’t like this!? Well, some folks don’t like Jesus either so...

Babe Got me liking this song 💕😘

"You grew up in the home beside me
I always had a friend to call
How could I make it here without you?
I pray I leave before you're gone"
