    I’m a 34 year old white boy from Kansas City. And this was me and miss Hellen’s song! When I would pick her up and take her to the store she would would just laugh and laugh “oh white boy you go” and just snap while singing it with me! ❤️ absolutely one of my best memories in life!!!! I miss Miss Hellen, she taught me so much about real life and the struggle of the African community and the struggle kc really put them in!!! I never told her but that lady is one of my honest to god hero’s! My whole life and heart changed cause of that old bat ❤

    My daughter asked " Why does he have to ask her permission ?" I replied " that's what a gentleman does." Then told her father "she's at the age where she needs for him to truly show her how a young man treats a young lady." Back in the day you knew you had a great guy when he open the door for you, met your parents, and brought you home early cause he didn't want to disrespect 'YOU". Hot damn her generation is lost, but I be damn if she will be lost along w/ her generation.

    In the smooth, soulful realm of Ro James' "Permission," lies a message that resonates with the essence of consent and respect in intimate relationships. Through his captivating vocals and evocative lyrics, James paints a picture of a man seeking not just physical gratification but a connection built on mutual understanding and desire.
    The song opens with a repeated plea, "With your permission," establishing the theme of consent as the foundation for any intimate act. James doesn't assume or demand; he acknowledges the woman's agency and seeks her approval, creating a space where she feels safe and empowered to make her own choices.
    In the pre-chorus, James delves deeper into the importance of open communication. He sings, "You know what I'm talking about baby, yeah. Now it's time for you to show me what it's hitting for." This verse encourages the woman to express her desires and boundaries, fostering a sense of trust and intimacy.
    The chorus further emphasizes the importance of consent, with James pleading, "Come on give me that green light, and you can let your hair hang down, but only if it feels right." He's not interested in pushing or coercing; he wants to make sure the woman is comfortable and willing to engage in physical intimacy.
    The bridge showcases James' understanding that consent is not a one-time thing but an ongoing conversation. He sings, "Sip a little jack, maybe blow a little dro. Love you from behind, but I hate to see you go." This verse highlights the importance of checking in throughout the intimate experience, ensuring that the woman is still feeling comfortable and enthusiastic.
    Throughout the song, James consistently reaffirms his respect for the woman's boundaries and autonomy. He's not just seeking permission for physical acts; he's asking for permission to connect with her on a deeper level, creating an intimate encounter that's rooted in mutual consent and respect.

    It's 2023 and I'm still here. I hate doing the whole comparison thing among male artists, but not since Prince, D'Angelo, J Holiday, and Bilal have I found another male singer that just smoothly puts you in that mood without being vulgar with the lyrics. Don't get me wrong, sometimes there's a place for that, but I can play this around any age group, and my husband instantly understands the assignment! That takes a mastery of words and imagery that's missing in a lot of today's mainstream artists. We need more of this for the grown & sexy adults out here. This song takes me there every time I hear it!
