Raphael Saadiq- Good Man

For you confused souls let me explain this video if you don' get it. The story is set in the early 1970s and exposes the story of two lovers who fall apart. He's a good man who works hard for her but he doesn't make enough money for the lifestyle she desires. So she prostitutes to make money and gets him locked up. In the end him giving her the envelope of cash is for her to stop prostituting and selling her body. "The words of the song also express how much pain the woman put him through to the point that now his love is so much greater without her, that he now is an even better "good man"."

"'Good Man' tells the story I've seen many times in my own life," Saadiq tells Spinner. "Everything around that man can be bad, his occupation, lifestyle, friends, but underneath all of it, he is a good man."
