[Verse 1]
Remember on the concrete lot?
As the sun collapsed away
Your fingers locked with mine?
Death was scared of us
That day
Of a concrete pact we made
To commit to love and light
And some days
We feel so empty
We welcome ghosts
Let them make home
In our bodies
What do we own?
If not our joy
Oh, you’re searching
And I’m searching
[Pre-Chorus]
But when I
Reach into your heart
It means something
When you reach into my
Heart
It means everything
While you learn to dance again
(Even if you can’t hear music playing)
[Chorus]
Well I do
Well I do, do
Do, do, do, do
Well I do now
Well I
Well I do
Well I do, do
Do, do, do, do
Well I do now
Well I
[Verse 2]
Rememory
The concrete fraught
With the bones of all of us
Still, I’ve found you
Here in time
Across waters
Across bloodlines
Back of your ATV
You know I’m always down
To ride, to ride (ha)
[Pre-Chorus]
But when I
Reach into your heart
It means something
When you reach into my
Heart
It means everything
While you learn to dance again (again)
(Even if you can’t hear music playing)
[Chorus]
Well I do
(Well I do)
Well I do, do
Do, do, do, do
(I do)
Well I do now
(I do now)
Well I
(I said I do now)
Well I do
(I do, I do)
Well I do, do
Do, do, do, do
Well I do now
Well I
Alieu, I do
[Hook]
Well I, I do
Well I, I do yeah
Well I, I do
Well I, I do
(We made)
[Bridge]
When you feel like
You can’t see the sunshine
Know that I do
I do
When you feel like
You can’t see your beauty
Know that I do
I do
I do
(I hold you so close my friend)
I do
(I hold you so close my friend)
I do
(Yeah)
I do
Oh, I do
(I hold you so close my friend)
I do
(I hold you so close my friend)
I do
(Yeah)
I do
I do
I do
Oh, I do, I do, I do
I do
I do
(Do)
(Do)
(Do)
I see all your sunshine baby
I see all the beauty in you
No, I do
(Ooh)
(Ooh)
(Ooh)
I see it in you

Mitsubishi invokes otherworldly stages for the procession of Chivengi's ache-filled singing. It's a primordial kind of R&B with futurist haptics. I love "AGONY" and "For You." Lamb
Ojerime recalls all of R&B's gravity-defying moments: the car bounce of SWV's "Release Some Tension;" the hazy slow-groove of "One in a Million." Like the best of R&B, 'B4IB' is music you wanna *be.* Lamb
