    To make you its possession
    And it will if we let it

  • Sisterhood-blmI recently heard this song on the way to my parents house. I believe I felt what Stevie felt...so fitting for the times we are living in 2022. My family and I was confronted with a situation that would hurt a lot of hearts but we chose the high road. Thanks Stevie for recording this incredible song. What an awesome God we praise and serve!
    Shout out to "Women's History Month 2022"
  • Delores Belcher from BwmcPersonally, I think this song should be name the National Anthem for Baltimore, as well as other Cities. This song really touched my heart, simply because he is speaking about life, things that are happening, death, depression, murders... etc, We as a whole need to come together and embrace one another, Love up on each other, lay down your weapons, respect one another. We need love amongst our youth, we need to put a cap on Hatred. Lets start the process, HATRED IS JUST A WORD... Please just listen, and feel the LOVE
  • Julia from CtThis song was sung by Latifah at the NBA all star skills game with no reference to Stevie who is truly a blessing by God to this world!
