    Just learned about this beautiful song during the #VERZUS "battle." It really was far from a battle though, it was two *GROWN WOMEN* showing nothing but love for each other. This song, and Jill's song, JAHRAYMECOFASOLA, both new to me, deeply touched my soul. Thanks to both of you #QUEENS for introducing me to these songs that will be with me for a lifetime.

      nf094e R E N É E I could watch those beautiful soul queens vibing & singing to their classics all day, everyday. They exude such beautiful, powerful, positive energy. No tearing each other down, just appreciating & celebrating each others music. That is how it’s done! Yesterday’s “battle” was a real treat.
      Happy Mother’s Day to all the special mothers out there!

    I remember hearing this back in the day. I couldn't figure out why it wasn't released as a single. It was hotter than 90% of what was out at the time. This song was like a portal to a better world. One where everybody was focused on being a better self and having better days, better experiences. And that common goal made things wonderful. Yeah. That's how this song makes me feel. 🥰

      This song was apart of a compilation album brought out by Heineken that was called Red Star Sounds. It has a commercial with a cute old man walking in a cute manner to the song. I bumped this album heavy. Came out around 2002 or 03. It was an ode to celebrating Earth Day in April. The newness of what birth creates. 🙏🏽

    this is a very beautiful song...just like Ms. Badu. she is definitely communicating musically on a higher level..."what good does your words do, if they can't understand you...." Erykah knows everybody aint ready, but the music is timeless, so when the time is right and minds are open, her genius will reveal itself to those who don't "get it" yet.
