    It's frightening how much she sounds like her father. Her voice is like red wine, dark chocolate, and velvet.

      LeahTriniteeMJLuv3 I'm listening to my playlist and I was listening to Donnie and forgot that I added this one. Not looking, just listening - it literally sent chills through me. I've seen her in person in Atlanta & Oakland a few times and its always a great experience

      @@tlig I have to disagree. America killed our leaders, flooded our neighborhoods with cheap drugs and guns. Burned our business and homes, forced us into impoverished neighborhoods and practically no education. Why do you think life got worse after the civil rights bill was passed?

    Lalah embodies the rich alto silkiness that her father the brilliant Donny Hathaway left us.
    Talking about passing down genes in her bloodline she captures and carries the essence of her
    father. You will never know the legacy of Donny Hathaway and what he gave the world of music
    he was the most sought after musician back in his heyday.
    Lalah much success to you dear,carry your father's legacy forever. I know he's so proud and smiling on you.
    RIP Donny Hathaway🎤🎼🎹

    Little ghetto boy, playing in the ghetto street
    Whatcha' gonna do when you grow up
    And have to face responsiblity?
    Will you spend your days and nights in the pool room?
    Will you sell caps of madness to the neighborhood?
    Little ghetto boy
    You already know how proud life can be
    'cause you've seen so much pain and misery
    Little ghetto boy
    Your daddy was blown away
    He robbed that grocery store
    Don't you know that was a sad, sad old day?
    All your young life
    You've seen such misery and pain
    The world is a cruel place to live
    And it ain't gonna change
    You're so young
    You've got so far to go on
    And don't think you'll reach your goal
    Young man, little ghetto boy, look at you
    Little ghetto boy
    When, when, when you become a men
    You can make things change if you just take the stand
    You gotta believe it yourself in all you do
    You've gotta fight to make it better
    Then you will see how others will start believing to
    Then, my son, things will start to get better
    Everything has got to get better,
    Everything has got to get better
