VIDEO: Highly (Get To Me) – Jah9
We are valuable and deserving of love and consideration. Choose well. #NoteToSelf
“What is the measure of a man? I celebrate all my brethren who are deserving of praise for their great love and discipline… I honour those, who like the King, hold themselves to a higher standard… this song is NOT for them. I have experienced, witnessed and shared great love over the course of my young life. I have seen in the examples of my father and grandfathers, men who honour, respect, protect and adore their wives and children over multiple decades.
Jah9
Such is the profound love which enriched my experience growing up, that I have often found myself ill-prepared for what I have faced outside the protective bubble of my family.
This song is a Note to Self made as a reminder, that despite ‘heart-break’ to never lose faith in the goodness and beauty of my brothers. There is nothing more impressive to I than a purpose-driven man who knows the importance of loving a woman “Highly”. May we all be reminded, especially on a day like February 14, that we are valuable and deserving of love and consideration. I must love myself so much that I recognize when love toward me is genuine… and when it is not. I give thanks for all the lessons; and I give thanks for your listening ear. Choose well.”

Highly Lyrics
You are not a king
you are just a pawn
Scattering the seeds
from which the masses will be born
The Emphasis to place
on the space you put your tail
shows just the kind of weakness
that would cause a race the fail
where did you get it in your head
that’s the value are you possess
was determined by efficiency
of taking off my dress
Huh? who taught you
what it means to be a man
don’t blame the absence of a father
Blame the absence of a plan
blame the system
that would have you drugged
and sexing off for sport
blame the rich when you steal
then when they catch you
blame the court
blame the girls that told you yes
blame the girl that told you no
blame the girl that was your mother
blame it on the way you grow
So many things
you have the opportunity to use
as your excuse
when you lose but what if
all you had to do to win
what’s the learn
from the example of the king
But he don’t love highly
always on the low
Heart overfull
but he don’t want it to show
He don’t love highly
ever feeling down
draining the energy
when ever he around
He don’t love highly
So the chance is kind of slim
not taking no Time
to give Ises unto him
who is the light And the law
the truth and he way
So i can’t let him get to me
GQ pimp type hustling fly
helping himself
to the bulk of the pie
Never complained
when the sign did a show
now everything is crumbling
wouldn’t you know
Fast pace brain freeze
Sikkling Heart
Fearing a future
Before the start
Of the moves
that will lead him Astray
Unless Haile is leading the way
But he don’t love highly
always on the low
Heart overfull
but he don’t want it to show
He don’t love highly
ever feeling down
draining the energy
when ever he around
He don’t love highly
So the chance is kind of slim
not taking no Time
to give Ises unto him
who is the light And the law
the truth and he way
So i can’t let him get to me
For he don’t love highly
He don’t love highly
He don’t love highly
He don’t love highly
So he’s falling
I can’t let him get to me
No I can’t let him get to me
I can’t let him get to me
No I can’t let him get to me
