[@originalwoman]

I wouldn’t expect nothing less from Lloyd. When we start rising into the thinking of God (speaking truth), God shall see us through. God never lie, His promises are TRU. “Ye Are All God’s of The Most High.” We will never fall with God on our side. Keep on speaking your TRU, you are a Beautiful Person.

Thanks for all your good music and may God continue to Bless you

[@t.google1495]

This song touches my heart every time I hear it. It's painful and powerful and uplifting all at once. And it sounds so damn good acoustic. They really killed this live. I like this version better than the studio version. But that's with most songs, like the acoustic versions of Miguel or Daniel Caesar, or even Willow Smith all sound amazing.

[@janicefore1524]

Love this song for its purity! Reminds me of Michael Jackson singing and Prince guitar. Meaning just a combination of a reminder of great talent.

You don't know HOW much I Love This Man (and his Voice... but more the man than his voice). I care about him. And, yes, still, his voice is just so captivating to me, from the first moment I heard it over a decade ago! But I'll always care for and love PeoPLe far more than any _thing_ I can praise them about (such as talent, achievements, any of these things). I just wish freedom and peace and clarity and light and comfort for Everyone! Hugs from me to anyone and everyone needing and wanting to break Free! And genuine love from me to You.

[@a_awake]

Niiiccceeee. I love that he actually took the time to learn some guitar. A lot of black guys these days will stunt in the video or photoshoot with the guitar in their hands and won't play it because they can't! Kudos Lloyd. I love seeing black people actually pick up instruments to learn them. If you can play, you won't have to depend on producers and songwriters for everything.

[@lindalately]

Man, you should make an entire album like this. This was NICE!

[@chanieceewilliams1528]

what's the likelihood of this being read by the man himself? it has been such a long while since I've listened to a song that actually made me feel. One I can relate to and feel through my soul. Lloyd, it's difficult to be real in a world so fake. keep doing you you've come so far!...🌺🥀

Lloyd's guitar skills are coming along nicely! We saw that short solo!👏🏾 Keep doing you Lloyd - this kind of musicianship suits you! I enjoyed this version so much. Both the lead and rhythm guitars layered perfectly over the acoustic and created such an ethereal sound! 😃 I wish I could download this version! Real R'n'B 💝

[@bobsmith-gw5ys]

This young man has a beautiful voice and this is what we need right now. His lyrics are fresh and listening to a man play the guitar and sing like this is amazing. Brings back the good feelings of R&B from the late 80s and 90s
