"Dad, I Believe That's Love" Original Hip Hop Song Release by @Verbal-D

-@Verbal-D - Musician/Songwriter 1st, Official Vibes Judge 2nd :)

In short, there are certainly songs that I have written that have served as a means to "heal" and this song in particular is just one of those songs where I don't often ever perform Live, due to the depth and nature of the song and how emotional it makes me.

I want nothing but to honor God and honor my parents and that me and my father continue to have a healthier relationship and that I continue to be a better father on the daily to my own children and they learn from me the love that God instills within me and what I share through to you all with my music.

Verse 1:
I walk around the city and people say I’m handsome,
But Dad, you’re the type to keep for ransom.
People compliment you, all proud shaking your hand some
Cause you selling cars, working hard, sweatin’ and some

There’s no spitting these bars like I planned ‘em
So much to say in the way that seems random
See you at the top, so don’t you ever drop
But even if you did, then I’d be jumping for you, tandem

…Father-son relationship’s not quite a warzone
I hate when things pop off like a handgun
…Sometimes we have some disagreements rather than fun
But you’re only one phone call away on my Samsung

I wish we talked more, this love that we fought for
Lines be getting choked up and tied into knot cords
Sometimes I can’t express the things I need to say
So I made this song purely for the love that I’ve brought forth

D'Angelo
Chorus:
That’s love, That’s love, That’s love(x4)
That’s love (x2)

Verbal D
Verse 2:
Some children grow up without having a father.
The ones who walk out like why should I bother?
Where being a dad is more an inconvenience.
And raising their kids with no love or lenience

Some people weren’t meant to be parents
Living for themselves, like their kids were transparent
Or translucent, what a nuisance
Some people beat their kids for amusement

That’s not something to laugh about
Seeing the value of the children by half amounts
When I’m father, I won’t have a doubt
That I’ll love em all regardless whether short and stout,

Got a thick snout, big mouth, small face, tall base,
All waist, smart, dumb or accident prone
I will love them all the same
Just like you love me now and in the past, so don’t change

D'Angelo
Chorus:
That’s love, That’s love, That’s love(x4)
That’s love (x2)

Verbal D
Verse 3:
In this moment I record, It’s never “I be bored”
You can feel my feelings in the way that I keyboard
Open up your arms And let me just lean forward
Cause when I think of you There’s a place that I reach for

It’s your heart, your soul, your mind
And I’m very proud of you from the distance you climbed
You took our family from the ghettoes From the gutter to the meadows
Just to bring us up another level

Not sleeping on the ground Got a bed with a pillow
That’s deep appreciation Like the notes on a cello
For less you never settled Did whatever it took
To raise us right So you never got shook

Even through hard times, You never got hooked down
Now we at the top, So we're looking around
Many haters everywhere, Only looking to clown
Cause they’re jealous that my father brought us up from the ground, yeah

D'Angelo
Chorus:
That’s love, That’s love, That’s love(x4)
That’s love (x2)
