[@petitor_veritatis1936]

"Take away, your gold & platinum chains..." No material gain can ever single-handedly cure grief. No money, etc. Those lyrics strongly resonate with me most of all because I once believed financial success would at least come close to mending my broken heart ie when my parents died. Only God is able to do that through love.

[@juliechristie943]

Beautiful message by a beautiful person. Thank you for sharing

[@UnreleasedUnderratedRnBgrooves]

People really need to get educated on the necessary upbeat outro. It was a dedication to the 9/11 victims. Missy made it a lesson where that we must not mourn but enjoy the thrills and excitements of life and laugh in the face of terrorists trying to displace us in fear. It was a dark time, but Missy managed through the convoy of party tunes to keep the American public's spirits up and not let sadness nor fear drag us down. RIP Aaliyah, gone but not forgotten.

[@NateTheNoble]

Unreleased/Underrated R&B Grooves It was a super dark time. Aaliyah, 9/11, then Left Eye and a whole bunch of other conspiracies coming to light. And it was the birth of the new millennium. People needed as much upbeat energy as possible

Aaliyah is one of the most beautiful woman to ever walked this earth. I don’t think no present or future R&B female artist will ever fill the shoes that Aaliyah left.

She truly was an angel on earth.
