Moyana Olivia (feat. RHOME)
[HOOK]
Evenings, mornings, afternoons
Sparkling eyes and coffee spoons
Endless hours spent next to you
From the sun and greenery
To the snow and falling leaves
Say that you’ll stay next to me
Next to me
Next to me
[VERSE]
It’s like, ever since the day I met you
I been plotting ways to end up with you
Had to shoot my shot so I wouldn’t miss you
Got me waiting, praying, dying to kiss you and
[VERSE]
I’d fly from coast to coast
Yeah, babe, you already know
No place that I wouldn’t go
To keep you next to me
[CHORUS]
Next to me, next to me
Promise that’s where you’ll be
Next to me, next to me
You’re all I’ve ever needed
Next to me, next to me
Promise that’s where you’ll be
Next to me, next to me
You’re all I’ve ever needed
[BRIDGE]
I spent twenty-five hours, and a hundred days a week
Praying you would find your way right next to me
And if you didn’t still I wouldn’t miss a beat
‘Cause if you love her, let her go, and if she back she the one
That’s what they preach, preacher daughter boy
She’s something like a “shh”—that’s a secret kept for me
God’s children sneaking apples off the tree so
Tell me is it wrong or does it challenge what they teach
I was looking for it all and instead I found some peace
Say the word and you’ll never be without me, babe
I’m steady smiling when you sliding like I met you in my happy place
Was shooting for the moon and when I landed in your space
I saw stars in your eyes like you stared at the Wraith, okay
I don’t push no Rolls but I know I push your buttons, babe
Double tap that ooh-ooh like a cheat code, when you coming, babe
I just sparked a wood like when you coming, babe
Girl, if I’m Pharrel then why you frontin’, babe
I promise that it’s real even if you took that lust away
I know it’s been a minute, let me slide and knock your rust away
Peter Piper picked you up
Piped you down and took your breath away
If you want it back you know I’m just some steps away
Don’t you come around if you won’t stay
[CHORUS]
Next to me, next to me
Promise that’s where you’ll be
Next to me, next to me
You’re all I’ve ever needed
Next to me, next to me
Promise that’s where you’ll be
Next to me, next to me
You’re all I’ve ever needed
(scat)
[OUTRO]
I’d fly from coast to coast
Yeah, babe, you already know
No place that I wouldn’t go
To keep you next to me (hum)

RHOME’s passion for music can be attributed solely to the small, black radio in his first (of six) childhood bedrooms. The soul of the music he grew up on follows him into the studio and shines through at every given opportunity. RHOME was the first artist that Marvin Bagley III, aka MB3FIVE, signed to his independent label 3FIVE Entertainment, in May of 2021. (www.rhome.studio)
