Access Denied (feat. Ari Lennox)

This track samples the late R&B singer Curtis Mayfield’s July 1972 song, “Give Me Your Love.” Here, Daye and Lennox sing about two closed off partners who have their guard up because they are afraid of love.

Ooh-ooh, ooh

Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm, hmm

Ooh woah, ooh woah, oh, oh, hmm

Access denied

Another one stuck

in line

Baby, love scares,

your mind

No wonder why you keep

your time

You lust, you wait

No rush, I guess

Woah-oh, I'm in

More in than I've been, hmm, hmm

I came all this way

To tell you that you're my reason (

Oh-oh, oh woah)

The way you string control of me

Just enough for my reason

Hard to read you

(Hmm, hmm-hmm)

You give me, access denied

Another one stuck

in line

Baby, love scares,

your mind

No wonder why you keep your

time

Baby,

love's not a crime

Scenarios keep you behind

Enough tries you've

gone cold

I'm only gon' say it

one time

(Yeah)[Post-Chorus: Lucky Daye,

Lucky Daye & Ari Lennox

]

And then I leave you to

your own, own, own, own

And then I leave you to,

ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

I'm leavin' you alone, 'lone, 'lone, 'lone, 'lone, 'lone, 'lone

You push away, I push from back (

Yeah, yeah)

The game we play, the rush, the act

Ooh, woo, woah

I came all this way (

Yeah, yeah

)

To tell you that you're my reason (

Oh, oh, oh

)

Yeah-yeah, ayy-ayy

The way you string control of me (Yeah)

Just enough for my reason

(For my reason)

Hard to reach/read you

(For my reason)

You give me

Access denied

Another one stuck in line

Baby, love scares, your mind

No wonder why you keep your time

Baby, love's not a crime

Scenarios keep you behind

Enough tries, you've gone cold

I'm only gon' say it one time

(Yeah, bae, bae, bae)[Post-Chorus: Ari Lennox &

Lucky Daye

]

And then I leave you to your own, own, own, own

And then I leave you to, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

I'm leavin' you alone, 'lone, 'lone, 'lone, 'lone, 'lone, 'lone
