[Intro: Pharrell Williams]
Yeah

[Chorus: Pharrell Williams]
You know how I feel
I'm in love with you still, ooh yeah
It helps, but it kills
Your lovin', your lovin'
It hurts, it heals
It breaks but it builds, ooh, yeah
Your power and your will
Your lovin', that's your lovin'

[Verse 1: Daniel Caesar]
Wanna feel it, something I can feel
I know the things that I been feelin', they ain't real
Wanted to know what it felt like for them to like me
Now I know, I gotta say, it's mighty frightening
Wanna use it, use my frontal lobe
But these feelings took this shit around the globe
God, I'm sick and tired of always feelin' lonely
Got this Golden Child shit poppin' with my homies
It's a hell of a feeling, I put this thing on the map
Remember back in the day you talked a whole lotta smack
It was hard for the black kid, you used to get at my gap
Used to steal all my groceries and now I get to the racks
Used to be ugly, but now I hit from the back
The side, from the front, and I swear this pussy like crack
Nigga got rhythm, I like to hear that shit clap
I like to hear that shit back
I like to hear that shit

[Pre-Chorus: Daniel Caesar]
Further from home, the unknown, is all that I know
Couldn't atone on the phone
I wish that I would be on my own, all alone
I wish that I would quit bein' stoned, be a stone
I wish that I would-
I wish that I would just be a man when I can
I wish you had the vision to follow the plan
I wish I had a reason to see you again

[Chorus: Pharrell Williams]
You know how I feel
I'm in love with you still, ooh yeah
It helps, but it kills
Your lovin', your lovin'
It hurts, it heals
It breaks but it builds, ooh, yeah
Your power and your will
Your lovin', that's your lovin'

[Verse 2: Daniel Caesar]
Wanna feel it, something I can feel
I know the things that I been feelin', they ain't real
Look, my whole life they been beggin' me to chill
Got it weighin' on my conscience just a lil'
I wanna venture into the unknown
Never got shit poppin' layin' 'round at home
Never got no pussy actin like a pussy
Let my nuts hang, God damn, look where that shit took me

[Outro: Pharrell Williams]
Never keep it inside
Never keep it inside (Ayy)
Let it out so everybody around you know what it feels like (Yeah)
Never keep it inside
Never keep it inside (Ayy)
Let it out so everybody around you know what it feels like (Yeah)
Ooh
Ah
Ah, ah, ah
Eh, eh, eh

The world has come to understand R&B/Soul music as a multi-faceted genre that transcends soundwaves into the inner core of our existence — a genre that makes listeners feel, rather than just hear. For Toronto native, Ashton Simmonds, who performs under the stage name, Daniel Caesar (born April 5, 1995), the R&B/Soul genre serves as a skeleton to which he builds up with jarring gospel undertones, heart-tugging guitar chords, and soothing harmonious vocals.

His sophomore effort, Praise Break, successfully captured the attention of many major publications and outlets and was ranked 19th in the 20 Best R&B Albums of 2014 by Rolling Stone Magazine. Caesar’s follow-up project, Pilgrim’s Paradise, was met with even greater praise, subsequently capturing the attention of both the Canadian and international music markets.

On August 25, 2017, Daniel released his debut album, Freudian, which followed the release of “We Find Love” and “Blessed,” and contains hit songs, “Best Part” and “Get You.” In 2018, Freudian was nominated for Best R&B Album at the Grammys.
