Right Here

[Verse 1]
Girl I need to know if this is real
Know it’s just been a minute
And I can’t rush how you feel
I see you getting antsy
When I tell my friends the deal
Especially cause your old man
Be putting that work in still
You’re conflicted as ever
Always under the weather
Hate to rain on your parade
But you can’t hide up in your sweater
When this umbrella is for the pair of us
To brave the elements
All those days in hell
And you still can’t see that your heaven sent
I know your heart is thawing out
You’re a goddess
So, I know it’s hard when no one is devout
You don’t know where to turn
So now you’ve started going out
If pimping is dead
Then how that liquor turning you out?
Diamonds in the rough
Ain’t gone be hiding in the club
You’re bound to hit rock bottom
When the bottoms going up
I ain’t tryna fix you
That implies that you’re broken
I’m just trying to show you
That your value is greater to me
When it’s your mind rather than your legs
That be open. I’m hoping you’ve noticed
This is more than an ode to
Take advantage of your misfortune
I’m tryna do more, I’m tryna make a difference
Learning to appreciate the art of observation
Showing you the beauty
Of the blemishes you facelift
Show you that with us
There wouldn’t be no complacence
I feel your heart, it’s racing
I know you think you’re mistaken
But…

[Hook]
Baby slow it down
I’m right here for as long as you need me
So long as you keep me in the front
Baby it’s just me and you
Baby slow it down
I’m right here for as long as you need me
So long as you love me
Promise me
This time you won’t let me go

[Verse 2]
Yeah, so fuck them other dudes
Predetermined destinies
My soul remembers you
We spent our nights exploring
Countless rooftops under moons
I guess that’s why
You don’t need the time to get attuned
Symphonic Cadences
When you get in the mood
I was getting to it
‘Fore your lips began to move
Tell me when you get off work
So that I can slide through
And hit you with the juke like we back in ‘82
Uh, look me in the eyes
When I make love to your soul
I need to know if you’ve been right here before
If there are chapters never closed
Or some you never wrote
If I say “I love you”
What memories will I invoke?
Pardon me for my persistent inquisitions
I know my lack of trust
Seems like a blatant contradiction
She said
“I can’ t really tell if it’s inhibition or indecision
But can we do this in the morning"?

[Hook]
Baby slow it down
I’m right here for as long as you need me
So long as you keep me in the front
Baby it’s just me and you
Baby slow it down
I’m right here for as long as you need me
So long as you love me
Promise me
This time you won’t let me go
