Every man is a son to a daughter. That is deep. No matter how far you go in life, you are always someone's baby girl/baby boy

As a black single father of a 14 yr daughter I can relate to this song. As I watch her grow into a young lady wishing she could be 5 again

My dad kept photos and videos of my sister’s entire childhood, teen years, college years, and early adulthood. He kept all of the years he made memories with her in a hard drive. I don’t know how he found this, but he used this song with the slides at her wedding as a part of his message for her. Safe to say, everyone at the venue shed tears.

I have raised my son alone the last 8years. Everytime, I listen I cry thinking of my son growing up. I just want him to stay a kid forever and be here forever for him as a kid. Life's a two edged sword.... love you lil man

When I saw him live, I can't even describe the air in the room when he sang this song. People were crying, and the whole room cheered for three minutes after. Never seen anything like it

I sincerely cried, Every man is a son to a daughter About to turn 23, parents are getting old and i really want time to stop for them, so they can witness the greatness they both created Edit: corrected a typo “I really want to time to stop”

I live with my Dad now. After a long journey, there's no road that can lead to Nirvana. Home is Love. Thank you. Thank you.

My son passed away after coming back from tours in Iraq .He needed so thing to numb his pain was war does to you and it was the night I found him .All the way with over 5000 miles of ieds to worry about ambushes etc . He makes it home and we lost him . I think everything day why I did not spend more time .Did I tell tell him I loved him enough .This sucker punched me in my heart .it is so true how we will miss things and we have to hug them and tell them you love them every day .Him being my wife and our only son the pain never stops ,but Al. Those memories of him are a blessing I would never forget .What a beautiful song .Made me cry 😢

"wear your afro like your backbone" that line gets me every time. These lyrics are such poetry.

I love KZfaq!!! Shows me so many artist that i didnt know existed!!! SO GLAD U EXIST! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

Kevin Hart's new movie, "Fatherhood" brought me here & I'm obsessed now. Had it on repeat ever since. Makes me emotional, thinking about my babies growing up. 😭😫

Final scene of last episode of The Responder, this song made that scene so powerful.

I'm not usually one to consider words in music, I mostly focus on the music as a whole. But these words are too powerful to ignore, these words could stand alone and still be a masterpiece. Beautiful work Jacob Banks.

I respect this guy for doing the kind of music he wants to do and not music that could make him blow up to the top of the charts worldwide and make him rich

Lyrics: 100% Visuals: 100% Message: 100% Ambiance:100% I'm listening to this song two years later,convinced that it will literally outlive life. This is the kind of artist I will be👑🤞🏽

Netflix's Fatherhood movie by Kevin Hart brought me here, lost how many times I replayed already...Now, I just want to be a better father.

My anxiety & depression completely took over my teenage years. Wish I could/would have enjoyed them more. It feels like I’m running out of time.Yet I haven’t even really began life yet. This song is definitely gonna be added to my release/cry playlist.

“Music will creep in your soul, and bring back what was once dead”

Fatherhood: plays this song Me: Stop it, and get shazam

As a parent, I focus so much on my children that I often forget that I am also someone's child. And even though my kids are too young to be parents, the bond of us all being children was brought home to me from this song. I need to catch my breath.

When I first discovered Jacob, about 3-4 years ago, all I wanted was for him to blow up and get the recognition he deserved. 4 years later, I just wish no one else finds him and changes him. No one should filter this voice. No one should change the instruments he mulls over. No one should interrupt this artistry. And I think I finally understand why he hasn't chosen fame himself, because if he ever does he will lose this.

This is a type of a song that u listen to over and over again, but u don't hate it.

Am here, midway through "Fatherhood". I couldn't even finish. Truly amazing song. I wonder how many other great songs that are out there, undiscovered.

Ah, yes. The nostalgia of a younger time. Where the burden wasn’t as heavy. The memories that we knew would be our greatest, but didn’t know they would hurt just as much equally. Trapped in the infinite cycle of an aging body and an ever-changing world. Waiting to reach the future yet never wanting to leave let go of the past. Enjoying the present which seems to be gone in an instant. It’s as if time has it’s own symphony.

This is such deeply soothing song. I was listening to it while working the other day and actually had a legit good cry...guess I’d been holding back tears for whatever reason. Power of music I ‘spose

"What i've learnt from a mirror Look too hard and you find a you a stranger.." Wow i felt that.. 2019 anyone? Where my africans at?

This song broke me. I'll never forget this moment and the love I felt for my children as I listened to it; in my car, tears flowing on my way home from work. Thinking just how lucky I've been.

This is the masterpiece and it don't need *AUTHENTIC* *VIEWS* to get more views

His voice sounds like it was dipped in liquid gold- it’s just so rich and full of character ❤️😍

Thank you to the solider who taught Jacob Banks that every man is a son to a daughter. I needed that today. Gonna call my mom right now and thank her for being her.

"Wear your afro like your backbone" gives me a happy, tingly feeling every time!

Today is the premier of the beautiful movie Fatherhood by Kevin Hart, I saw the movie and now I'm listening this amazing song 🎵😍❤

🎶"Wear your afro like your back bone."✊🏿✊🏽✊🏾

"There's a world to discover, but home is love"

"Let the sun have its moment The moon will come" This too shall pass , slow up homie

Growing up without a father and later seeing fatherhood has made me crying 😢 I promise to be there for my future kids

This song makes me wanna light a cigarette, smoke and cry. That time I don't even smoke.

Song alone already pulls at the emotions, but the visual and the voice together brings the tears.

I've loved this man well before Fatherhood. Listen to "unknown "to you" the London version. I'm from the USA. And I love this man. I recognize his voice in Fatherhood. It made me happy since I already knew how wonderful he is.

Who else knew this masterpiece before the movie fatherhood?✨

haven't seen my son in about 6 months due to lockdown, this song just reminded me of how my love for him runs so deep, he lives in me. Beautiful song

"let the sun have its moment, the moon will come"

Jacob Banks' "Slow Up" is a masterpiece! 🎶✨🤯 His vocals are simply breathtaking, and the lyrics are so powerful and moving. 😭😭😭 The song is about slowing down and appreciating the simple things in life, and it's a message that we all need to hear right now. 🧘‍♀🧘‍♂❤ The MV is also stunning, with visuals that perfectly capture the mood of the song. 🎞🎥🎞 Overall, "Slow Up" is a must-listen for anyone who loves good music. 👏👏👏

These words are deep. I keep listening like it's speaking to me ❤. I lost my dad few weeks ago to Prostate Cancer and this song kept me thinking about how death a take you far away from the ones you love.

It seems to get harder and hard to find beautiful music with lyrics that have a deep meaning and make you think. But this song gives me hope :)

"What ive learned from a traveler, is that no road leads to nirvana" Im not crying you are. 🥲

My husband played this song when I was pregnant with our youngest and every since then when our son is tired or in a moody we play this song and he calms down. This is go to song! ❤️

"What I've learnt from a soldier Every man is a son to a daughter And we only remember When we see the blood" Hits hard

I always respect the art of music but honestly i love reading the comments... Reminds me that ppl deep down alll want the same thing.. If we only slow up... And not get distracted by the grown up (issue's).. We would be better off.

This song brought out so much built up emotions. I've been stuck in a dark place for a while and not really able to understand how to get out it. Thanks for making me cry and release my pain.

If the algorithm recommended this to you, then you know and love real art

"Wear your afro like your backbone"! Whew......chile!!!!!🙌🏾✊🏾🙏🏽 That hit my soul!

Lyrics What I've learnt from the ocean Hard to dance and rejoice in the motion Let the sun have its moment The moon will come What I've learnt from a soldier Every man is a son to a daughter And we only remember When we see the blood Don't grow up on me Keep that backstroke in your Afro Don't you grow up on me Slow up homie Don't you grow up on me Keep it OG sipping slowly Don't you grow up on me Slow up homie Don't you show off on me Don't you grow up on me Show off on me What I've learnt from a traveler There's no road that can lead to nirvana There's a world to discover But home is love Mhm What I've learnt from a mirror Look too hard and you'll find you a stranger Love is just a decision The choice is yours Don't grow up on me Keep that backstroke in your Afro Don't you grow up on me Slow up homie Don't you grow up on me Keep it OG sipping slowly Don't you grow up on me Slow up homie Don't you show off on me Don't you grow up on me Slow up homie Don't you grow up on me Don't grow up on me Wear your Afro like your backbone Don't you grow up on me Slow up homie Don't you grow up on me Keep it OG sipping slowly Don't you grow up on me Slow up homie Don't you grow up on me Wear that Afro like your backbone Don't you grow up on me Slow up homie Don't you grow up on me Keep it OG sipping slowly Don't you grow up on me Slow up homie Don't you show off on me Don't you grow up on me Don't you grow up on me Slow up homie Slow up homie

What I've learnt from the ocean Hard to dance and rejoice in the motion Let the sun have its moment The moon will come What I've learnt from a soldier Every man is a son to a daughter And we only remember When we see the blood Don't grow up on me Keep that backstroke in your Afro Don't you grow up on me Slow up homie Don't you grow up on me Keep it OG sipping slowly Don't you grow up on me Slow up homie Don't you show off on me Don't you grow up on me Show off on me What I've learnt from a traveler There's no road that can lead to nirvana There's a world to discover But home is love Mhm What I've learnt from a mirror Look too hard and you'll find you a stranger Love is just a decision The choice is yours Don't grow up on me Keep that backstroke in your Afro Don't you grow up on me Slow up homie Don't you grow up on me Keep it OG sipping slowly Don't you grow up on me Slow up homie Don't you show off on me Don't you grow up on me Slow up homie Don't you grow up on me Don't grow up on me Wear your Afro like your backbone Don't you grow up on me Slow up homie Don't you grow up on me Keep it OG sipping slowly Don't you grow up on me Slow up homie Don't you grow up on me Wear that Afro like your backbone Don't you grow up on me Slow up homie Don't you grow up on me Keep it OG sipping slowly Don't you grow up on me Slow up homie Don't you show off on me Don't you grow up on me Don't you grow up on me Slow up homie Slow up homie

Every parent's impossible wish...... "don't you grow up on me" 🥺❤️

I’m white, but I found ‘Wear your Afro like a backbone’ so fucking beautiful

This is the deepest song I've ever listened to, it sinks so deep in my soul that I can't help but let my heart cry publicly. J. Banks thanks so much for this beautiful and legendary piece of art🙏🏽.

"What I've learned from a mirror, look too hard and you find you a stranger" the way those words hit me, takes me back years ago to when I lost myself in the vicious cycle of self-sacrifice for love: morals, ambition, goals all get thrown to the wayside when you give everything to one person. the most painful part was having to face the damage I inflicted on myself. not being able to recognize the person you loved your whole life, yourself, is the emptiest of feelings.

I miss my father (an army men) ....I hope I have made you proud... May you keep blessing me from heaven ... ☺️

I lost my closest friend today and I'm so sad I can't stop crying and this song so reminds me of him and the good times.... R.I.P Lumix ❤

On this day, Covid pandemic, August 2020, I was here

I found this song years ago. Each and every time it sets me back . When our kids where little we where stressed and wanted them to grow up but now that they are grown up we can only dream of slowing it up to that moment they wanted us, needed us and now they know it all. I miss them deeply but I know I did my part the best I could. I gave depth, desire, attention, encouragement and most of all my love from the depths of my heart. They may never see this but Shandra, Mia, Shane, Kaya and Ivy you all are the deepest part of my heart and as I fade from this life you will always be my heart. I love you beyond my breath. ❤️❤️❤️

The real fans have been here before any movie just glad to see his finally getting the recognition he deserves

Beautiful cinematography

"...every Man is a Son to a Daughter but we only remember when we see their blood." WOW!

This video brought me to tears. I use to tell my last child that. Then he was killed on Mother's Day 1997 at 17. I saw his blood everywhere in the car as it sat there in ER entrance. God Bless ALL of you and Happy safe New Year.🙏🎊🎶🎉👏🥰

"What I've learned from a mirror, Look too hard and you'll find you a stranger...Don't grow up on me Keep that backstroke in your Afro, Don't you grow up on me...Wear that Afro like your backbone..." I can't hear this song enough.

i only sleep on my bed not on mr jacob banks. this is poetry. *he* is poetry.

This song brought on deep thought... Every verse has real truth in it. If only we could slow up.

Who else has this song on repeat❤❤❤❤ the biggest take away is enjoy the moments of life. Every laugh, every smile, good people and all the positive things life gives you. Be happy with no regrets🥹

As a father of 4 sons I really feel this song in my soul 🙌🏻 they grow up way to fast

I just want to say a huge thank you for writing that beautiful song. We need to realize that time flies and we have to take a step back, relax and enjoy all the beautiful moments that we have with our people and our parents.

Discovered this artist and his music today and boy what have I been missing.

Here after Fatherhood. KEVIN HEART STAY BLESSED MAAN,What I’ve learned from a traveler there’s no road leads to nirvana. There’s a world to discover, but home is love 💕 Don’t grow up on me

Jacob's performance of this song brought me and others to tears. His heart is so wide open when he sings. I'll never forget this experience.

We’ve been blessed again

I accidentally clicked this... I was looking back through my recommended and his voice gave me chills so glad I found this.

Whose here on father's day coz they miss their pops. . . Happy father's day Dad. Keep resting.

I don't think anyone will enjoy Kevin Hart's Fatherhood without enjoying this song.

I’ve haven’t been moved so much by a song I’m so long, I’m a DJ and play so many different tracks and there are so many tracks that are breathtaking but this song has something special .... it’s absolutely amazing .... I’m blown away xxxx

BRAIN: Awesome jam ME: Yeah. BRAIN: It's time... ME: *sigh* BRAIN: ME: BRAIN: Time to listen to it... ME: Till we hate it

This artiste is so underrated😩I heard this song is Kevin Hart’s movie and been obsessed.

"Let the sun have its moment, The moon will come" i felt that🤞

How he still doesn't have a Grammy is a mystery. Ear porn!!! When Jacob sings I stop everything!!!

Thank you Vevo for showing true close captioning, Deaf/hard of-hearing community appreciates the respect.

His show here in SA was out of this world!!! Expected nothing less tbh.

Sobbing like a baby over here!! 😭You got me in my feelings soooo good!! Love this song. And to my 22 year old son, Skylar Dane....Slow up homie, Mama loves you. Home is LOVE

"What I've learnt from the ocean Hard to dance and rejoice in the motion Let the sun have its moment The moon will come." This is rich J.B

still listening to this on april 2020 , anyone like me

Saw him live early on in his career roughly 3-4 years ago and still to this day he is my favourite live performer and was of my great experiences in my life. Man neexs way more love and recognition! Hes so humble, down to earth and you can just see how when he sings and dances he just loses himself to the music and feels every lyric he sings

I miss my dad. Is really sad I loved him so much and he is not around to enjoy the fruit of his labour. Daddy keep resting in peace, I am now a man and I will make you proud, Clinton will always love you

“Love is just a decision. The choice is yours.” Beautiful...

If you are not touched by this Beautiful and haunting song, u must not have the ability to feel at all. I love everything that Jacob sings. He's a real music artist and we need more.

Fatherhood made me listen this again again and with teary eyes .. 😭

This song has me in tears....you can feel the passion and the love in this song. Thank you!! I sent it to my kids

"There's a world to discover, but home is love." 🙌

I recently went through a divorce to find out “home is love”. Love is a decision. I thank God we’ve been given another chance to make things right. This time with more experience. Our children are happy and that alone makes me happy.

My son is 5’7” and he’s too cool for mom. I spent our holiday alone. He went with his dad. Listened to this song driving. It me so hard. Had to pull over and cry my eyes out. It’s so beautiful and I felt so deep listening.

Liked before watching cuz I knew your voice would be incredible and this song would rip my heart open. Wasn’t disappointed

I feel bad for the people who haven't been blessed with hearing your voice.
