How many people out there like Donny Hathaway?
Let me see your hands up you know what I'm sayin'
City high's about to reminisce drop the beat y'all
I'll reminisce y'all
I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs, I made some bad rhymes
Acted out my life in stages, 10,000 people watching
We're alone now and I'm singin' this song to you
I know your image of me is what I hope to be, babes
I treated you unkindly, darling can't you see?
There's no one more important to me, baby see through me
'Coz we're alone now and I was singing this song to you
You taught me precious secrets of a true love holding nothing
Came out in front while I was hiding
But now I'm so much better if my words don't seem to come together
Listen to the melody 'cause my love was in there hiding, yeah
City high to the bridge now
I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for my life, you're a friend of mine
And when my life is over remember when we were together
'Cause we were alone and I was singing this song to you
As we were alone and I was singing this song to you
Bring the beat back
We're gonna send this one out to Donny Hathaway
As we reminisce, rest in peace y'all, rest in peace
City high y'all, real music is back y'all
Yo Robbie don't hurt him kid
