Give him back

Lyrics

[Intro - futuristic Timberland-style synth stabs, DJ record scratches, deep male vocal ad-libs, soft male echoes]
Yeah...
In the same room, same air, same tension
Two voices, one heart, one decision
Tell me now... who he coming to first?

[Verse 1 - slow R&B groove, rubbery bass, deep male lead on the left, soft male lead answering on the right]
Deep voice: I been in the corner with my eyes on you
Soft voice: I been by the door, yeah, waiting too
Deep voice: You feel that pull when I step close
Soft voice: You melt when I speak, but you never know

Deep voice: He got that look like he’s torn in two
Soft voice: But I can tell he’s still drawn to you
Deep voice: We both in the room, but the air too tight
Soft voice: One of us gon’ win this tonight

[Pre-Chorus - rising tension, layered harmonies, DJ scratch accents, percussion building]
Deep voice: So tell me, tell me, who you choose?
Soft voice: Don’t make him say what he can’t undo
Deep voice: He’s looking my way, then he looks at you
Soft voice: Heart beat loud, now what you gon’ do?

[Chorus - hype krunk-R&B fusion, heavy drums, futuristic synth lead, call-and-response vocals]
Who he coming to first? Me or him?
Same room, same smoke, same dangerous grin
Who he coming to first? Don’t let it burn
One touch, one glance, that’s all it takes to turn

Deep voice: Come here, come here, don’t make me wait
Soft voice: Come here, come here, before it’s too late
Deep voice: He knows my name when the lights go dim
Soft voice: But he might run first to me or him

[Verse 2 - beat switches faster, sharper trap drums, brighter synth bounce, aggressive back-and-forth vocals]
Deep voice: Now the rhythm hit quick, like a pulse in the chest
Soft voice: And I’m stepping in time, yeah, I’m putting it to the test
Deep voice: He’s watching us both like a spotlight war
Soft voice: One of us gets the key, one stays at the door

Deep voice: I’m the storm in the bass, I’m the low-end thrill
Soft voice: I’m the sweet in the air, got a softer feel
Deep voice: Say my name and the whole room shakes
Soft voice: Say mine and his guard breaks

Deep voice: He don’t know where to land
Soft voice: Caught between two hands
Deep voice: One of us is his tonight
Soft voice: So tell him what he wants, make it right

[Bridge - stripped-down futuristic pad, vinyl crackle, whispered harmonies, intimate tension]
Deep voice: If he comes to me, I won’t let go
Soft voice: If he comes to you, then I’ll still know
Deep voice: We both can feel what’s hanging in the air
Soft voice: But only one of us gets him there

[Final Chorus - bigger drums, stacked harmonies, DJ scratches, anthemic and confrontational]
Who he coming to first? Me or him?
Same room, same heat, let the night begin
Who he coming to first? Don’t let it burn
One touch, one glance, that’s all it takes to turn

Deep voice: Come here, come here, don’t make me wait
Soft voice: Come here, come here, before it’s too late
Deep voice: He knows my name when the lights go dim
Soft voice: But he might run first to me or him

[Outro - fading synths, reverb-drenched vocals, record scratch tail]
Yeah...
Same room, one choice
Me or him...
Who he coming to first?
