Isaiah Rashad "Heavenly Father" Official Lyrics & Meaning | Genius Verified

Isaiah Rashad stopped by the Genius Verified studio to discuss his hit song “Heavenly Father” in honor of the song’s 10-year anniversary. It’s a deeply personal song from Zay’s beloved Cilvia Demo EP, which dropped a decade ago this weekend (Jan. 28, 2014).

On today’s episode, the Chattanooga MC reflects on the song and his evolution. “When I think about the mentality I was in, of not thinking I would make it to 25 to being here right now at 32, honestly, I’m like, ‘Damn, that was a dramatic little boy. Shame on him.’ Thank God I don’t feel like that anymore.”

In this episode, Zay also reveals that “Heavenly Father” might not have been released without SZA. “[I remember] that SZA came in and saved it,” he says of her featured appearance. “It was gonna be on the scrap floor because I didn’t like [the song before].”

Top Dawg Entertainment President Punch also helped encourage the song’s experimentation and its release. “It was the making of people believing in me,” Rashad recalls. “It was me giving something raw out of myself and the homies making me put it out.”

"Damn that was a dramatic lil boy, thank god I dont feel like that no more" is exactly what I thought about myself after coming back to this song😂 I was seriously depressed throughout my younger years and this was one of the songs that I just had on repeat daily cause It resonated w me so much. Its my birthday today, and im glad im still here to admire art like this. Much love ✌️

So glad they pushed him to make this song. I remember him doing an interview after Cilvia came out and him saying he didn't think people would like Heavenly Father that much and being surprised by how many people loved it. This is definitely my all-time favorite Zay song!

I think Isaiah Rashad isn’t giving himself enough credit for being an excellent descriptive writer. Those are the ones that create a world, that make you think and feel things. Cilvia is timeless for me 🎖️

This song needed to be done and shared with the world. It's refreshing how he tells it purely. Zay got stamped by me after I'd heard this and Shot You Down.
