You mos def got that right!!

My mom just passed last November and my Dad passed when I was sixteen... I swore off Motown and similar musicians, except Otis Redding cuz he's my soulmate musically... anyway, I just had a fight with my partner and I found myself typing out "if you don't know me by now, you will never ever know me" been together 8 years. And I listened to this again, tho I know it so well and it just made me think of my parents too. I'm 38 with almost a year of sobriety and my parents died from their addictions and left me with nothing. No guidance, no support... I have children I fight for every day. They never fought for me the way I do for my kids... My point here tho is that my parents had me grow up on oldies and Motown, especially my Father. I understood them through songs like this more than I ever understood them otherwise. I hope this song reaches through time for other people as well.

I am 64 years old and I have something to say about the song in my life as of late. I know who I am I've always known who I was. People have always tried to control me and take my light somebody even tried to kill me for it. Can't take someone else's light you can however have your own. God sees everything he's been watching you know who you are and he knows who you are and I have a pretty good idea of who you are just saying you better leave this child of God Alone you've been playing with me too long it's over that's about ready to rain fire and brimstone on your head don't you get it I pray he has Mercy on all of you
