It takes a lifetime, to heal a lifetime, of all these lifetimes

Remember Your North Star.

Some girls remind us so much of God
That when they go missing, we don't look so hard
The wells in our eyes dry up and there's no libation left to pour
When this happens, we never talk about it
We just hide
Besides, how would we explain to God we've used up all the water on the boys?

It's writing like this that just sticks with you and it's these little short poem interludes throughout the album that really make this 18 track album a special experience. A tasteful mix of R&B, hip hop, and reggae showing a versatile ass motherfucka.

("if a nigga talking s*** I might run off with his b****" is gangsta as hell lol)

And honestly, my personal song of the year (it's between this and "Alive Ain't Always Living" by Quelle Chris):

Back when my daddy loved my mama
And he thought I'd be a son
Even though I'm just a daughter, I still pray I be the one
'Cause it wasn't in the plan to be some nigga's wife
I seen the lord move mountains in some niggas' lives
But I ain't never seen a woman make a nigga do right
And I ain't never seen a woman who ain't put up a fight

A nigga may or may not have had a cry to this song this year. The hook/her mentioning not calling her mom in 10 years hit a nigga deep man smh.

When she talks about her mom/mothers in general it really paints a vivid and heartwrenching picture of the unrequited love a lot of daughters deal with from they moms.

Mama love her man, give him all of her time
And her freedom common sense and her motherfuckin' pension
Mama love her son, mama love her son
Mama love her son, mama love her son
But when it come to mama love, s*** it's all tied up
Dried up, cried out and her daughter can't get none

It's overall talent like this to witness from someone that can both sing her ass off and rap her ass off that leaves me to the conclusion that this album is 2022's Album Of The Year.

amazing album

her, amber mark, and sudan archives all in my top 10 artists hours wise this year

Real for this one.

edited, no “probably” anymore tbh.

if i see a half naked woman on an album cover i know its gonna. be the worst s*** ive ever heard

I wasn’t really feeling this album

it's aight

aight, op. i'm convinced. i'm going to check this out.

Album was good but didn’t crack my top 10 this year. Just didn’t go back to it as much.

Good album in a short and sweet package. Played it a lot this year but I think it falls short compared to a lot other stuff for me.

Into hard as bricks

I been saying this but niggas wanna keep clinging onto that whispery lullaby ass Rayvn Lenae album

I think people are kinda off that album tbh.

It's sad cause there's some gems on there but it is a shame she kinda fell into the "whispery" trap after making waves throughout her whole career NOT doing that. That was the first album by her I barely understood what the hell she was saying.

But niggas definitely sleeping on this joint.

Bruh, the production on this s*** is so hard man.

this is a painting

also she is fully naked

Not you bro
You was one of the main ones fighting the whisper criticisms

That album still one of my favorites of the year, idc

This yaya bey joint is very good tho gotta say

Álbum too fire, good to see it’s being shown love on here

I was but constant relistens and it's still hard to figure out what she's saying without reading the lyrics.

It just sucks cause what made her special is that she wasn't like the others.

I feel you

I still feel like she made it work, but I would prefer if she goes bad to her previous style of singing in the future tbh

keisha

Future & drake dropped a “hard on thots” album bro you will get over it lmao
