The sermons continue with “It Could Have Been Worse.” Lyfe recommends that you stop with all the complaining because there are people who have really sucky lives, as opposed to yours that just sucks a little bit. Then again Lyfe may think it’s okay for a woman to contemplate cheating on her man as long as it’s with him. Lyrics like “I’m not trying to be a hater, but she’s going to be calling me later” fly in the face of the gems in the previous song. Then he gives the men a sit down with “Love,” a tune that suggests dudes should put their all into a relationship or the lady may step.

Jennings lays down a lot of obvious on the track including staying away from men in relationships and refraining from being a hoe. The album opens with the mid tempo piano and violins of “Statistics,” a song based on Steve Harvey’s book about proper lady etiquette. The tutorial at hand may have you engrossed enough to ignore the dull tracks. Some of the production turns snooze worthy, but the lackluster songs aren’t horribly tedious, especially if you buy into the Lyfe-as-teacher aspect. Lyfe lessons aside, the album is sonically sturdy with a bent towards the mellow. It is very easy to raise your eyebrow at some of his lyrics, as he is probably guilty of some of the behavior he suggests you refrain from, but who knows better than those who have been there to fight that fight. Some even sound like they are self directives musical post it notes to keep him on the straight and narrow once he’s from under the thumb of the label.

The album is, as usual full of Lyfe’s life anecdotes, hints and suggestions. I Still Believe is reportedly his final album and per him, his magnum opus. His slips and falls tend to provide him with the bulk of his material and even when he appears to be at his lowest, he bravely tackles that in his writing, conjuring some really raw and honest material. It’s obvious that there is more at work than his desire to leave his trying past behind when considering the issues he’s had since his first album. His rise from incarceration to major label presence is the stuff fairy tales are made of, at least on the outside looking in.

We know a lot about Lyfe Jennings, maybe more than we should.
