R&B × Hip-Hop Soul
[Intro ] Under the streetlight, vinyl on slow spin Warm Rhodes, low bass — let the night pull you in Mmm, yeah — just breathe it, feel it Stay locked in [Verse 1] Got me caught, eyes locked, no need to chase The way you move, magnetic groove, in all the right places Slow it down, let it burn, we don’t gotta rush Every glance, every breath, pulls me in — hush City skyline soft behind the blinds Your silhouette, slow rhythm, rewrites my mind No pressure, no pretense, just the moon and our pace Late night, easy space, tracing the shape of your face [Pre-Chorus 1] Don’t look away, no distractions now Feel it pulling you closer, here and how Late night, no mistakes, wrapped in time Right here, right now, your hand in mine [Chorus 1] Stay locked in, don’t let go Rhythm slow, under low glow Caught in the moment, you and me Slow, steady — this gravity [Verse 2] Whispers soft, tension high, electric vibe Moving close, skin to skin, we find the slide Silent words, eyes that speak — nothing to prove Addicted to the feeling, can't step away, no rules Vinyl hums, car horns fade, this streetlight knows our names Pulling like the tide, feeding these small flames No rush for morning — let the evening grow long You and I in orbit — staying where we belong [Pre-Chorus 2] Don’t say a word, just lean into how The pull’s getting closer, don’t fight it now Fewer lights, deeper breaths, we let it climb Right here, right now, slow down time [Chorus 2 - Variation] Stay locked in, don’t move on Rhythm deep, keep it drawn Caught in the moment, heat and hush Stay locked in — don’t rush [Bridge - Strip Back] Beat strips down, heartbeats loud (oh) Close mic, close eyes, away from the crowd Knowing glances, soft responses — hush the noise Two souls, one hush — we choose this choice Ad-libs: mmm, ah — stay, ah, stay [Final Chorus - Full] Stay locked in, don’t let go Rhythm slow, under low glow Caught in the moment, you and me Slow, steady — this gravity Stay locked in, can’t resist Every look, every missed kiss We don’t gotta say it, we just know Stay locked in — let it flow [Outro ] Slow fade, night’s embrace, skyline in retreat Locked in here, this perfect place where we keep the beat Feel it linger when the dawn cuts in Stay locked in — hold it, let it spin
