Big love to Rush Jones,

big love to Larry Jackson.

So we sat in the room, we sat in the studio

From me to you.

This is how I feel, this is the truth.

One second, one second, this is the truth right here.

Big love to Diane Martel who directed that beautiful video,

The Method Man who blessed me in that video.

I was the shit when I had Method Man

on my video, don't play.

I kind of felt myself a little bit.

I was like, hold on.

(person laughing)

But the truth is, the way that that's become

my favorite song, like that is just crazy.

It can't even.

So, you know, I've never performed this album

top to bottom before ever.

(audience cheering)

Ever, ever, ever.

So it's a big, big blessing to do this tonight.

Big, big blessing doing this tonight.

I thought, we gonna go to the next song.

And I felt like this song

I got in big trouble for,

I don't know if y'all remember this,

whoever was with me like all that time.

(person laughing)

It's a real good vibe in here tonight too,

by the way, energy.

(audience cheering)

So, you know, I thought I was being cute.

I had a certain phone number

and I decided to put the phone number in the song.

'Cause what happened was,

I wanted to get rid of my phone.

I didn't need it anymore, I needed a new number.

So I was like, what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna put

my phone number in the song

and then people going to call the number

and they gonna hear my voice message.

Like, that was a fresh idea.

No, that was not, so I did it.

But what I forgot was that it needed an area code.

So everybody from everywhere,

wherever they were called the number,

and they must have called this one guy

in Georgia a whole lot.

Next thing I know, I'm getting sued

for the damn number in the damn song.

I didn't know, I know now, I never put,

never put a number in a song, FYI,

but I'm gonna put it in there tonight.

(audience cheering)

But you know, this song was really special

'cause I actually, you know, a beautiful,

most amazing Stokely Carmichael

was on this song if you didn't know.

I mean, there's some gems all the way up in here,

which is the reason why I feel

like we feel this song so much.

And of course the most magnificent Jermaine Paul

came out and blessed it.

So should he come out tonight?

Because we kind of gotta sing it, we gotta do it.

Come on Jermaine, let's go.

(audience cheering)

Jermaine Paul, you know, my favorite part

of this song is, my favorite part

is the way they be going in on TikTok.

The TikTok, the TikToks, the Diary is it.

Jermaine, you have a memory of Diary.

I don't know even if I ever asked you like,

- You know, I have a memory of Diary.

First off, thank y'all for the love man,

it means so much and thank you queen.

So it was an AOL live session, I got a call to come in.

Y'all remember AOL.

- That was a minute.

- Y'all remember.

- Even do AOL no more.

- Y'all remember AOL.

- [Alicia] Whatever.

- That's when you had the dial tone

before you had the internet access.

- All I know is we timeless, what can we say?

- So it was a AOL Live session, live session.

And it was during the time where everybody was wearing

the fitted caps and the colors and the headbands.

And I think I had a headband

and a bandana on all at the same time.

And I was, I love you too, man.

I was a fill in.

I was the fill in.

And I remember.

- You said he was the fill.

- I remember Jeff saying, you know, we need you to come in

and sing this song.

And the vibe was so good.

And after we did it, I said, I looked over to Alicia,

I said, can I be on this song?

And in Alicia fashion, she said, oh,

somebody's already on it.

(people laughing)

So we did a whole promo tour together.

She took me on as a background singer

and we did promo together.

And I had a secret the whole promotional tour

that I wanted to sing this song.

So every time I sang it, I sang it from a place

that I was like, she's gonna hear this

and she's gonna want to put me on this song.

And sure enough, that's exactly what happened.

- Damn, that's a good story, man, big love.

That is a good, I remember that.

I remember that, but there was no denying, I mean,

after a while it was just like, hold on.

Big love to Jeff Robinson, to Janine McLean.

(audience cheering)

Definitely, I guess we gotta do it now.

- Yeah, it got you.

- Let's do it.

Hold on a second, man.

I was listening to this whole album

just in preparation for tonight.

And I realize how much I love this song so much.

(gentle music)

And I wish we would, I wish we would wake up.

I wish we would wake up to know

that it doesn't matter.

All the differences, all the things,

all those things they try to make us think it matters.

It doesn't matter.

- [Speaker] That's right baby.

- Because we can, if we would

just love each other for who we are,

for who we are, I want us to wake up.

So let's remember that

and take that with us out these doors tonight.

Take the love with you out your door tonight.

We gotta play this one now.

Okay, maybe this one's my favorite, I don't know.

I did write this one on the bus.

It was the only song I ever wrote on the tour bus.

Some people they can write all types of things

as they travel and I definitely wrote some songs,

but on my bus, I couldn't write.

But this song, this one

decided it wanted to vibe one night in some city somewhere.

But my favorite part is this guitar right here,

which is a keyboard usually.

But.

(audience cheering)

What is going on?

I'm grateful, oh my gosh.

But the best part of the whole night

is being able to spend it with you,

being able to connect with you,

being able to play in a way that we never had before.

I don't want you to feel left out when,

you know what I mean,

I know y'all feel me, so.

One day I came out of the airport

and I was getting in the car.

And this young man, I remember he asked me,

he asked me if I would actually get some chocolate.

He wanted me to buy some chocolate.

And you know, everybody was rushing

and everybody was like, come on, we gotta go, we gotta go.

And there was something about his eyes

and I just wanted to talk to him

and I wanted to hear from him for a second.

And I asked him about himself.

I asked like, what's your name?

And you know, where's the chocolate going to?

(person laughing)

And he was talking about his basketball team.

He was talking about his school,

but I could tell that he had

like a lot of pain in his heart.

You know, I could tell that,

it didn't feel like a lot of people were showing up for him.

But he had a spirit.

He had a spirit that was like,

and I really wish I'd know who he was.

I wish he knew who I was.

I wish he could tell me I was that young man.

But this song was a result.

- [Speaker] That was me.

- Over here lying in my sentimental moment.

You see I'm in my sentimental moment.

(person laughing)

But really, I really, I hope I see him again.

- [Speaker] Right here.

- Let's do it like this.

Like I know he's lying.
