In promotion of the tour and her new The Intimate Truth EP, the singer has premiered an acoustic in-studio performance visual of her song “Rock With You.” The video, directed by Ron T. Young, shows how Ledisi is in full control when she’s recording. She tells Billboard that the clip “shows who I am as a live performer and how I record in the studio without direction from a producer.” Like all the R&B greats, she has a strong rapport with her band. Ledisi and Young wanted to “capture the essence of how it feels when musicians and artists interact in the studio.”
Ledisi – Rock With You
Ledisi – Rock With You Lyrics:
Yeah ooh yeah, I’m on it, I want it
So hot and gimmie a mic and I rock it
Cause my love for you goes non- stop and
You, your the only one I really need
Any place I feel you need to go
Is the only place that I want to be, let me tell you
See you, no one make me feel like this
The lovin when we kiss, this love
This love is real
I tell you, that I’m yours
Would you keep on lovin me
Would you do all that you can to see me smile
Cause I don’t want the future to say were not meant to be
Just wanna be with you
That’s why
That’s why I rock, rock, rock with you
And all I got I give to you
To keep your love for me, feels so right
Your like a drug to me, I’m so high
Everyday, just before I go my own way
I get down on my knees and say
Say a little prayer for you
Believe it or not
When I’m driving on the block
Playin music in my truck, I stop
Say a little prayer for you
I tell you, that I’m yours
Would you keep on lovin me
Would you do all that you can to see me smile
Cause I don’t want the future to say were not meant to be
Just wanna be with you
That’s why
That’s why I rock, rock, rock with you
And all I got I give to you
To keep your love for me, feels so right
Your like a drug to me, I’m so high
Boy you know I’ll do anything for you
I like the way this feels, you make my life better
I’ma baby baby won’t won’t you let me rock you
Rock you tonight
Aye, I just want to give you what you like whooo
That’s why I rock, rock, rock with you
And all I got I give to you
To keep your love for me, feels so right, yeah
Your like a drug to me, I so high
I’m on it, I want it
So hot and gimmie a mic and I rock it
Cause my love for you goes non- stop and
I’m on it, I want it
So hot and gimmie a mic and I rock it
Cause my love for you goes non- stop and
Said I can’t stop and I won’t stop
Said I can’t stop and I won’t stop
