This screams liberation. The amazing thing about Black Gospel music is how down to earth it can be. Blacks have singlehandedly brought forth unpretending realism in modern music—from rap to gospel. This is in part a right that they have exclusively earnt through their century-long struggle for survival, then equality, and then social normalization. One cannot prohibit the Black person from writing realist lyrics on the accusation of brashness, because the Black person has seen the limits of White animalism hidden under the veil of sanctimony.
Anyhow, I like how the song grooves. Not even sure if the song is about getting over a lost lover, or over a difficult phase in life in general.
