I’d like to give this jam some credit for letting me realize how this young man that was raised by an unforgiving mother named Texas was able to learn her lessons of violence and loneliness could find solace in song

    This cut reminds me of my dear lovely 6ft tall black Cherokee/Cree Native American Mother. Who I miss dearly. When she soared my world changed forever. This song takes me back to a sweeter time in my life. "Glo" always had good music goin on the box. Fun, cool and a wicked wit, generous and soulful , the most down to earth and realest sista never no BS. She would sing driving us around in her Pontiac LeMans, playing the 8 track rollin out, and we rolled with singing along. She'd say louuuuder.. and crack up. lol. She taught us how to play spades, I was 5. my sister was 4 my brother was 8. And we can play some damn spades. She could cook her r'azzz off, I mean burnnnn in the kitchen. Yes she taught me (thank God). Her sisters, brothers and cousins always hung out with her. A supreme Leoness she looked out and made sure everybody was good and belly's happy. In memory of my Mom🌷 who left here too damn young "Still waters run deep" y'all.❤️🦁🧡
    Peace and Love one another.

    These four guys brought so much joy to my life. Levi, the perfect gentleman, Obie always with a joke in his back pocket, Lawrence…my sweet Lawrence, with the smile that lit up the sky and Duke, the businessman who put everything in it’s proper perspective. My brothers will forever be with me. My Obie who constantly reminded me he was taking care of Levi. You have no idea the love, honor and respect they had for each other and the love the three had for Levi. I got a tearful hug from Duke a couple of months ago. Missing you guys today!🙏🏾💔❤️🥲🥲🥲
