Throughout his childhood, James would sing regularly, but never in public.[2] He eventually moved to New York where he was influenced by his aunt, a former singer for Prince.[3] His love for the album Purple Rain landed him in a studio at the age of 19.[3] His skills as a songwriter began with the song Portrait, leading up to a credit on the single Use Me by R&B singer Miguel[4] after forming a bond with him on MySpace.[5]
James performed in and around New York with artists such as Luke James and Wynter Gordon. In 2013 he released his first EP, a three-part entitled Coke, Jack and Cadillacs. Each part represented important themes in his life - first love, first drink, first car.[2] The WP featured songs that included A.D.I.D.A.S. and Pledge Allegiance. It also featured Asher Roth on the song Lisa.[6]
James signed with ByStorm Entertainment/RCA Records in 2015 and subsequently released Permission, his first single from a major record label, reaching #13 on the Adult R&B Songs chart.[1] His debut album, "ELDORADO" was released May 27, 2016. It debuted at #3 on the Billboard R&B albums chart
Be Mine
Ro James Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like I traveled through space and time
I'd go through any lengths to tap into your solar plex
Explore the facets of your mind, yeah
It's like the heavens
And the earth conspired to
Join our two souls together as one
So no matter
Said you'll always be mine, yeah
Stuck up on you
Like a tattoo, forever
I love you like the ink is dry
Ask the universe for true love
And God sent you, baby
You couldn't get away if you try (ooh)
Sweet sticky thing
I got a sweet gold tooth, ha
You're my ultimate sugar high (high, high)
If it's me you miss
I'm around if you need your fix
'Cause I know I'll make the pussy cry
Baby, when I call
Already know what it is
Just be where I need you to be, yeah, uh, baby
'Cause you're so damn fine
Just be on time
Ooh, you'll always be mine
I'll love you long time and you know this (ooh)
Your body's all mine, you're my focus (ooh)
I'll never stop ticking like a Rolex (ooh)
You talking that shit, side of your neck (ooh)
You're somebody I could really grow with (ooh)
Have a couple babies, split a home with (ooh-ooh)
You'll always be mine and you know this (ooh-ooh)
'Cause you's a church girl that kick it with the homies (homies)
I lo-ooh-oh-ooh-oh-ooh-ove you
(Said I love you)
I lo-ooh-oh-ooh-oh-ooh-ove you
I lo-ooh-oh-ooh-oh-ooh-ove you
(I love you)
Yes I do

As a number one Prince fan, I was sure I would never hear any song close to his music, but my goodness, I think he would be very proud to have heard this song, omg!! This is great!! 😀
@sugarfacepatterson9107
I heard in an interniew that his aunt sang background for Prince. Heavily influenced him in music he said. I believe it was with Cayman Kelly yrs ago when James debuted
@josephdiaz9640
My thoughts exactly! When i first heared this i wondered what this song would sound like if prince sang it
@vmaultsby2001
