Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, my, where do, how do I begin
To answer the question I know you been wonderin'
Playin' cool, I, cool, how could it all be true
These things, who's that and what's it to you

He is the mind objector, the heart protector
The soul defender of anything I fear
The baby conceiver, the make me believer
The joy bringer, the love giver

[Chorus]
He is the dough increaser, the pleasure releaser
The hard knocks knower without the scars to show ya
The night school teacher, the good life preacher
The caretaker, the kiss craver

He is

All these words are only frostin' on my cake
Feelings explain, don't do justice to how I feel
So alive, so in love for the first time
No way can I hide who am I

He is the mind objector, the heart protector
The soul defender of anything I fear
The baby conceiver, the make me believer
The joy bringer, the love giver

[Chorus]

{He is} So {He is}, so {He is}
Everything, everything I want and I want it
{He is} So {He is}, so {He is}
And so much more than I thought it could be
{So right} So right {So right} girls, I
I gotta be the same for him {I gotta be the same for him}
For my baby
Oh...oh...yes, he is, oh, oh
I know exactly what he is

{He is, he is, he is}
My joy bringer
{He is, he is, he is}

He is the soul injector, the heart protector
The soul defender of anything I fear
The baby conceiver, the make me believer
The joy bringer, the love giver

[Chorus]

He is make it alright to get you through the night
The soul defender of anything I fear
The pain remover, bad times undoer
The joy bringer, the love giver

He is





He is

Heather Headley's "He Is", and Angie Stone's "Brotha" are the only two songs we Black Brothers need to get us through life!
