[Intro – Jazzy Keys + Deep Voice Speaking] (Speaking) You say you been knockin’, baby… But you ain't say how loud Let me answer real quick... [Verse 1 – Sultry, Thoughtful Rap] Yeah, I heard you knockin’, even felt the beat Like Morse code through my bedsheets I ain’t ignore it, just needed a sec To clear the smoke, tame my intellect You say you want the real, I come with heat But that real got shadows you might not meet You want love slow like vinyl scratch But girl, you dance like you ready to match You hit me with poetry, I respond with sin Wanna know if you strong enough to reel me in You speak God, but you dress like sin So tell me, are you tryna save me, or just dive in? [Chorus – Soulful R&B Hook, Male Vocals] You knockin’ on my door, baby, I hear But are you ready for the fire that lives in here? You say you want my soul, not just the skin Then come on in… come on in I got demons with rhythm and angels that moan I got truth in my hands, but I play with tone You knockin’ loud, but be sure you stay If I let you in, no games, just flames [Verse 2 – Explicit & Reflective] I’ll grip your thighs while you quote bell hooks Push your limits like a preacher who never looked Into his own abyss, I been that man Tried to pray, then f***ed you with the same hand You don’t want soft, you want depth with bite You say you want me, even through the night fights But baby, I’m layered like jazz lines on wax I don’t open for just any knock... I match Can you ride when I go off key? Still moan my name when I spit ugly? You came with scriptures and heaven’s floor But when you knockin’, I need more [Bridge – Spoken Word Over Slow Guitar] (Speaking) Don’t just knock for the poetry, love... Knock for the bruises, the lust, the contradictions... ‘Cause if I open this door, we both get undone [Final Chorus – Harmonic R&B with Rap Ad-libs] You knockin’ on my door, and I’m here now But once I pull you close, we don’t slow down You want forever? Say that with your spine Say it in your breath when our bodies align I ain’t the dream... I’m the test before it You want me real? Then show me you want it Knock again, louder, let your soul explore I’m comin’ to answer… unlockin' the door
