[Intro]
Mmm
You feel that?
Yeah
[Verse 1]
Step in
You stare
But you don’t rush
Gold chain
White tee
Clean but it’s your hush
You talk soft
Let your eyes do the rest
You say
“I wanna know your mind
Before I’m touching your dress”
[Pre-Chorus]
I got standards
I don’t bend ‘em for a face
You say “Cool
Set the rules
I’ma study every page”
You pour water
You don’t beg for a taste
You said “Slow
I don’t chase
I’ll just keep your pace”
[Chorus]
Earn me slowly
If you want this body on you
Show me
My time
My touch
My only
You gon’ have to match my focus
Earn me slowly
If you want this heart to call you home
Speak
My peace
My trust ain’t cheap
You gon’ have to prove you know me
[Verse 2]
[low male vocal register]
You a storm
I’ma stand in the rain
Let it hit
Let it drip
I’ma learn all your ways
You say “space”
I give inches
Give miles
I don’t rush
I just study every curve of your smile
I ain’t pressed
I’m just present
I wait
You say “come”
I’ll be walking
Never grabbing your waist
You like truth
So I’m clear what I want
I want laughs
I want nights
Then the rest if you want
[Pre-Chorus]
[female lead]
I got choices
But you’re patient with the heat
You stay solid
When I’m sorting out my needs
You don’t flinch
When I’m guarded at the gate
You say “Lock it
I’ll sit
You can open when it’s safe”
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[female lead + male ad-libs]
Tell me
Can you wait when it’s late? (yeah)
Hands off
But your heart on my wave? (on you)
Can you love me on the days I’m a maze? (I can)
Still searchin
Still searchin
You said
“I’m in line for your time” (yeah)
“Front row for the rise and the highs” (all of it)
“If I earn every inch of your light
You can lay every shadow in mine”
[Chorus]
