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 ❤
D'Andre Stewart-Yes, very respectful-nice to see chivalry isn't dead-if only most men knew you can catch more flies with honey than vinegar. Pretty soon she'll be asking for your permission. Not that we really have to do that, lol! but it's sexy also
I heard this song over the weekend while getting my hair done. My eyes were closed so I really had a chance to meditate on words. I had heard it many times in the past BUT this song is awesome. Definitely for people that appreciate “Grown” folks music....that would explain all the thumbs down, they clearly don’t.!!
As a diehard Prince fan, I often wonder if he had a chance to hear this song and if he did I’d love to see his reaction. His soul is all over this record. Such a timeless track
@@alvingray-el8527 you clearly didn’t understand what I was saying. I was referring to Prince hearing this song by Ro James. I know who Willie Hutch is…a mfin LEGEND in his own right
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.
THIS!. This is what i have been wanting to hear soooo bad. This gives me the old school r&b feel i've been wanting. I appreciate this soo much . THANK YOU for Bringing back Real, feel good music
I love the song permission. It has that old time sound to it however.I give it 5 stars.Ro James is shining like no other.This is PJ from the Queen City.DEUCES.
PRETEND that YOU DO HAVE 3 MEN. 1 Man is for movie nights. The 2nd Man is for intellect. 🤫The 3rd Man is for (protected) 🔥 Green Light Nights. ONLY IF IT FEELS RIGHT 😊 OH, A 4th Man could be for Fixing things for you. And there's Always A B O B
Had the HONOR of meeting this gifted King today!! He sung at my cousin's wedding in Kokomo Indiana today!! He's a Scorpio just like me, only his birthday is in November, mine is in October! #Permission!! #ScorpioNation!!
Its March 2021 and this is still the most sexiest song I have heard in awhile. For him to ask permission just made me smile on the inside. He was raised by very strong women for manners to resonate softly thru his music. Simply beautiful. #BRAVO
She killing it with her physique. I swear y'all I'm tellin u confidence takes u a long ways!!! Love yourself or nobody will 💯 When you love yourself the energy of self love comes out onto people you are around. Instead of negative comments they will fall in love with u instead. Because of your (Confidence) 🔥 Love yourself. Because we're not all meant to be the same. God created everybody diff in they're own way
Nothing like smokin’, drinkin’ and vibing with somebody you’re feeling. Sex is just the icing on the cake. It’s all about the vibes. This song is a whole mood
2024 listening to this, still a great song that's underrated. Even when I'm deep in thoughts, this shxt be slapping and helping those thoughts lol‼️ iykyk
Just discovered this song..married with 2 souls takes me back to rooftops under the stars just bluntin n talking ..too beautiful feels like the present.❤
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.
KissKris so true, I was born in 1987 and I noticed the change very fast in 10 years when people where more lost in social media than knowing your own neighbor, its funny/odd thing to see what technology can do to people.
KissKris I'm surprised he is not doing this naturally. My daughter just turned 11 and everyone already knows a boy/man don't got a chance if he can't exceed what I have provided for her up until she is a grown woman.
@@sirlewis8234 lmao yeah hes underrated get your mind right maybe look at the facts first this song having millions of views does not mean hes not underrated! I ve know ro since i was 6 years old so please move around
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!
You can definitely see and hear the prince and d'angelo influence in his music. Those are two artists that you definitely want to sound like and be influenced by
His voice was giving mii Curtis mayfield vibes mixed with prince plus its giving mii late night drive vibes can’t wait to play dis on repeat dis weekend
Prince left a legacy that is undeniable. The man influenced a whole generation of soulful guys: RO JAMES, MIGUEL,BRUNO MARS, D'ANGELO, JUSTIN T, USHER, NEYO. R.I.P. PURPLE WONDER!!!
Fuck Justin T. Bitch ass doesn't give a fuck about black culture except to use it for his benefit of a dollar. D'angelo is really the only one that prince really really has that sound in him. He hits the notes like prince and can play instruments like prince. The others can't play instruments or produce music but can sing.
Damn it’s been 4 years already. What a milestone. When I first heard this song, it played on the intercoms while I was working in a Nike Warehouse NO AC, sweating like a athlete. Now I’m making 5 times as much. 4 incomes & stable. Blessins.
My first time hearing this was during the pandemic (2020' ish) during Club Quarentine, and since then, I have been hooked. Love me some Ro James. December 2024.
Always ask for permission, even if ya'll been married for years. I still do that and she told me that's the biggest turn on for her, how I show respect You can get more than what you expect if you approach like a gentleman.
@@greatestever7623 he explained what being gentle when you ask does,though you should always be gentle to a lady,asking for something like that gently will get you more than expected,so no its more a respect,everything isnt simping,respect isnt simping.
This song right in my opinion got elevated to the max when it was playing while magic mike was dancing on selma hayek! Those freaky dances moves of his is embedded in my brain whenever i hear this song❤️💋😎🔥😘❤️

You can definitely see and hear the prince and d'angelo influence in his music. Those are two artists that you definitely want to sound like and be influenced by
You hit the nail on the head👊

He is the nephew of Rosie Gains (Diamonds & Pearls) so I can see how he was influenced by Prince.💜💜☔

Prince left a legacy that is undeniable. The man influenced a whole generation of soulful guys: RO JAMES, MIGUEL,BRUNO MARS, D'ANGELO, JUSTIN T, USHER, NEYO. R.I.P. PURPLE WONDER!!!
👍👍👍👍
Fuck Justin T. Bitch ass doesn't give a fuck about black culture except to use it for his benefit of a dollar. D'angelo is really the only one that prince really really has that sound in him. He hits the notes like prince and can play instruments like prince. The others can't play instruments or produce music but can sing.
👍👍👍💜✌

My first time hearing this was during the pandemic (2020' ish) during Club Quarentine, and since then, I have been hooked. Love me some Ro James. December 2024.
Always ask for permission, even if ya'll been married for years. I still do that and she told me that's the biggest turn on for her, how I show respect
You can get more than what you expect if you approach like a gentleman.
Straight UP!!!!!!!!!!!$$$!!$$$$
The real G is Gentleman
You’re just a simp at that point 😂😂😂 don’t kid ya self
@@greatestever7623 he explained what being gentle when you ask does,though you should always be gentle to a lady,asking for something like that gently will get you more than expected,so no its more a respect,everything isnt simping,respect isnt simping.
@@cgwuapo9147 go head & give yourself a thumb down 😕 you earned it after marriage 😒 and ya gotta ask for permission GTFOH
