[Verse 1]
(It)
Never ever matters
How many moments of you
I gather in my mind
Dead fathers of mine
The deepest knowing
Won’t allow you
To enter my dreams
Gotten so hard to sleep
Crimson light
Through my window pane
Corona nights
Under heavy rain
The way your eyes
Well up with light
Flood my heart
But I just wanna
[Pre-Chorus]
Get it
(Get it)
Get it out the way
Promise I’ll stop turning
(Turning)
Back the clocks someday
[Chorus]
It was
Nice to meet ya
But this was always on the way
You had to (matter)
And something in me
Had to break
Whatever matters
Trust I take it/I'm going
All the way
(Ooh)
[Verse 2]
(It)
Never ever matters
How much I think
I could own you
You’d own more of me
Sometimes I be
Watching you sleep
Chest rising and falling
Your breaths soft
Like the low tide
Rinsing the days
Out your insides
Keep me inside
Always
Baby I just gotta
[Pre-Chorus]
Get it
(Get it)
Get it out the way
Promise I’ll stop turning
(Turning)
Back the clocks someday
[Chorus]
It was
Nice to meet ya
But this was always on the way
You had to (matter)
And something in me
Had to break
Whatever matters
Trust I take it/I'm going
All the way
[Bridge]
Floods my (heart) baby
It floods my heart baby
("Hello?")
[Breakdown]
My body’s so pretty
Even fuckin on the inside
You would be a witness
Hunger in the wet eyes
Longing in the distance
Sift my thoughts
You’d see Mawsynram
Mawsynram
Sift my thoughts
You’d see Mawsynram
Mawsynram
Sift my-
(Ahh!)
[Chorus]
(Nice to meet ya)
(But this was always on the way)
(You had to matter)
Like something in me
Had to break
(Whatever matters)
(Trust I take it all the way)
[Outro]
Boy you matter
But it never matters
You matter
But it never-
(Yeah)
Never matters
Never ever matters

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
