Gone too soon - Hoping, hoping that this love - Old Polaroids, old corridors of my innocence Gave way Rather keep it open to see if you come through If this love is true You were gone too soon Gone too soon Tell me, baby, what did they do?

-Yeah.

-You got a verse?

- Hey, this one's for love for mothers that grieving It's for that dreamer in that class that's underachieving It's for believers whose faith Is all that's keeping them breathing This the garden of Eden, this for all of my heathens This one's for Inglewood, both in Chicago and Cali This one's for Manchester and Crenshaw, for Rally's Happy moments happen to be sprinkled throughout Half of these tragedies Actually, I just start embracing change It's safe to say that growth is an uncomfortable process Pain is a necessary investment for progress I stress that if you ever get ill or hurt against your will It's just a quiz from God, this is our test, ah, yes This time it's gonna be different I'ma bless the world with honest quotes In every sentence And get better every moment just like Beverly mentioned Hard times but never resentment I'm just hoping that this love ain't over -Hey!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah - I'm hoping that this love ain't over - Oooh - Hoping that this love ain't over - Ooh, ooh, ooh - I'm hoping that this love ain't over - Don't wanna end - Yeah, yeah, yeah - Hoping that this love ain't over - Ooh-ooh - Hoping that this love ain't over - Ohhh Hoping that this love ain't over Don't leave me, don't end it I'm hoping that this love ain't over Keep it going, keep it going - Hoping that this love ain't over - Keep it going, keep it going now - Hoping that this love ain't over - Keep it going, keep it going now - Hoping that this love ain't over - Hoping that this love ain't over -Whoo!

-That's cute.

- Hoping that this love ain't over - Can we fade it down, can we fade it down?

[ Music fading ] - Hoping that this love ain't over - Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh - Hoping that this love ain't over - One more time, yeah - Hoping that this love ain't over [ Cheers and applause ] -Emily King, D Smoke, Yebba, Jahi Sundance, Burniss Travis, Justin Tyson.

[ Cheers and applause ] -Austin, Texas, put your hands together for Mr. Robert Glasper!

-Next, taking jazz in a different direction and doing it their way -- DOMi & JD BECK.

[ Cheers and applause ] -[ Playing "WHATUP" ] [ Tempo increases ] [ Tempo slows, then increases again ] [ Audience cheering ] [ Cheers and applause ] -What up?

[ Cheers and applause ] Thanks for coming.

This is cool.

Oddly intimate, though, I will say.

It's cool.

Uh, yeah, that's DOMi.

I'm JD BECK.

[ Cheers and applause ] [ Drumming beat ] [ Playing "SMiLE" ] [ Tempo slows ] [ Tempo increases ] [ Audience cheering ] [ Cheers and applause ] -What the...up, Austin?

[ Cheers and applause ] I always wanted to curse on TV.

[ Laughter ] So that song was called "SMiLE," and it's the first song we released like a year ago.

And those two first songs were the best part of our set, and now it's all going downhill... [ Laughter ] ...because we have to sing.

[ Audience exclaims ] And, yeah, it's gonna be great.

[ Cheers and applause ] This is a song we wrote with Thundercat, and he sings it.

So we have to sing his part.

-Not us.

-Very interesting.

It's called "BOWLiNG."

[ Mid-tempo music plays ] Can you just smile for me?

I know it's hard Let's just go bowling Seulement si je prends de la coke Having a hard time Processing So will you please smile for me?

Dude, I'm so over this The ups and downs, strikes and gutters Let's just go bowling Seulement si je prends de la coke I'm out of my element Dude, am I...this up?

So will you please smile for me?

[ Cheers and applause ] -Thank you.

-Thanks.

[ Cheers and applause ] All right, yeah, this is the first song we ever wrote together... which means it's the worst.

[ Laughter ] -[ Playing "Mary Had a Little Lamb" ] [ Cheers and laughter ] -[ Playing "NOT TiGHT" ] [ Tempo increases ] [ Audience cheering ] [ Cheers and applause ] -Uh-oh!

We gotta sing again.

[ Laughter ] This is a song that we wrote a couple years ago.

And we made a huge mistake with it, so -- -It was a lot longer than a couple years ago.

-A couple years ago.

-It was like 2018.

-It was 1962.

[ Laughter ] And what we did is we recorded the instruments first and then we're like, "Ooh, maybe we should sing on it," you know?

And then we cheated.

We recorded the vocals.

And now we have to play and sing at the same time.

So we're stuck.

[ Laughter ] So it's called "U DON'T HAVE TO ROB ME."

[ Cheers and applause ] [ Mid-tempo music plays ] - You don't have to rob me, it's not really worth it I've only got credit cards, and I can just cancel them Know that you needed cash, but what the...up with that?

You can do what you want, but get away from my... Let's just go get a couch from IKEA Not too expensive, just the right kind Taking this home is gonna be a pain I wish we could drive, I'll call a Lyft Don't park out back when it's dark outside We might just get jumped, this spot is sketch Nothing's really safe when everyone's insane What made y'all crazy?

No one's friendly You don't have to rob me, it's not really worth it I've only got credit cards, and I can just cancel them Know that you needed cash, but what the...up with that?

You can do what you want, but get away from my... Spent all our cash on...that won't last We're totally broke, can you call your dad?

Breaking every rule is what we do the most We broke Steven's vase and stole Andy's clothes Making things hard is everyone's delight I won't do the same, but stay inside Nothing's really fun when everyone's the same What made us crazy?

No one's friendly You don't have to rob me, it's not really worth it I've only got credit cards, and I can just cancel them Know that you needed cash, but what...up with that?

You can do what you want, but get away from my... -Thank you!

[ Cheers and applause ] -DOMi's gonna play something pretty.

And then, uh, the actual song starts.

-And the actual song is called "u can sniff my butt."

Thank you.

[ Cheers and laughter ] -Thank y'all so much again.

[ Cheers and applause ] [ Mid-tempo music plays ] [ Tempo increases ] [ Tempo slows ] [ Tempo increases ] [ Audience cheering ] [ Audience cheering ] [ Audience cheering ] -Yeah!

[ Audience cheering ] [ Cheers and applause ] -Thank y'all so much.

[ Cheers and applause ] [ Cheers and applause continue ] - Picture me bright, picture me glowing Picture my intuition guiding me, picture me knowing Picture me living, picture me giving Picture me showing, picture me 96ing dipping Now picture me rolling, picture me in a low-low Switches and bending corners Picture me in a white T riding through California Picture with a queen that's playing her violin Picture little kids looking at Daddy like I am him Picture dirty hands in soil planting to feed the future Picture me so fresh, so clean, cleaner than loofahs Picture me sipping on natural herbs Through tip of the hookah, picture me living much better Than great, I'm living super, dope Robert Glasper.
