mixtape: You Should Be Here (2015)












Intro lyrics - Kehlani

[Phone rings]

[Grandpa:] Princess, belated Valentine's day
[Kehlani:] Happy belated Valentine's day, what are you doing?
[Grandpa:] What am I doing? Where are you?
[Kehlani:] I'm in the studio
[Grandpa:] You're in the studio... New York? Studio LA? Studio Atlanta? Studio here?
[Kehlani:] Studio in LA
[Grandpa:] In LA? Princess when do I get to see you? You know you are my granddaughter. You are like my daughter. Come on now
[Kehlani:] I know
[Grandpa:] Don't [?] out to the curb. I know you're the star on top of stars and everybody every day has to remind me. Do you know who Kehlani is? Do you know who your granddaughter is? I know who she is and I know who she was

They say God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers and what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. And as much as anyone can say how invincible I seem or how fearless I am or how brave I must be, I'm still human. And I've seen things and I've felt more pain than some will in their entire lives, all before the age of even being able to buy a fucking drink at a bar. But I have to be strong, not for myself but for a greater purpose, because I feel like my duty is far beyond me, you know? Beyond saving my family. It's for the world because somebody out there really needs to hear this. So to anybody who isn't here to see how far I've gone or how far I've yet to go. To family members that didn't make it or friends I lost along the way. Or maybe someone I gave my heart to that didn't know what to do with it. You should be here

You Should Be Here lyrics - Kehlani

[Verse 1:]
I'm looking right at you, but you're not there
I'm seeing right past you, but you seem well aware
Your body is here, but your mind is somewhere else
So far gone and you think I can't tell
Can't tell that you are disconnected
You pulled away and I miss your presence
I always said to you

[Chorus:]
Baby you should be here, right here
Baby you should be here, right here
Don't know where you went but you're lost now
Don't know where you went but you're gone now
Don't know where you went but you're lost now
Don't know where you went but you're gone now

[Verse 2:]
Head on your chest babe, but your heart is so quiet
We use to talk all night long, now we laying in silence
Your arms around me but your soul is somewhere else
Gone so long and I know you so well
I know that you are everything that I ever dreamed of
And hoped that love had a happy ending

[Chorus]

You should be here, right, right here, yeah

How That Taste lyrics - Kehlani

They didn't want me then, they want me now
Did not want me to win, but now they're proud
Now they're payin' to get in, they in the crowd
Tell me how's it feel now? Tell me, how's it feel now?
Bein' low, yeah you a snake
You puttin' on a show, that Ricki Lake
Hey man I don't trip, my life's great
But swallow that pride, tell me how that shit taste

Tell me how that shit taste
Yeah tell me how that shit taste
Now tell me how that shit taste
Bitch tell me how that

Only squad eatin' cause the starve with me
And the mob goin' up cause they go hard for me
Yeah the only way's up, y'all gon' ball with me
Man the whole damn fam gon' touch the sky with me
Touch the sky with me, touch the sky with me
Man the whole damn fam gon' touch the sky with me
Touch the sky with me, touch the sky with me
Man the whole damn fam gon' touch the sky with me

They askin' for the verse, a hundred racks
If you ain't talkin' money, then run it back
My pockets too deep for 'em not to be stacked
Yeah you lookin' like distraction, now fall back
Bitch your music been weak, your fashion wack
Was talkin' out your neck, not even facts
I'm way too real to stoop low
I'm too busy on the road, I'm too busy bookin' shows
Yeah you know how that taste

Now tell me how that shit taste
Bitch tell me how that shit taste
Bitch tell me how that

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Only squad eatin' cause they starve with me
And the mob goin' up cause they go hard for me
Yeah the only way's up, y'all gon' ball with me
Man the whole damn fam gon' touch the sky with me
Touch the sky with me, touch the sky with me
Man the whole damn fam gon' touch the sky with me
Touch the sky with me, touch the sky with me
Man the whole damn fam gon' touch the sky with me

Jealous lyrics - Kehlani (feat. Lexii Alijai)

[Verse 1 - Kehlani:]
Pretty soon I'mma take your phone
Or you should hide it in yo pockets until you get home
Don't wanna see no tweets about the night we shared
Don't wanna hear reasons for it, baby I don't care

You and I both know I'm not just anybody
And I regret bringing yo ass to all those after-parties
You enjoyed yourself too much and you ain't barely started
I just can't invest in shit to end up broken-hearted

[Chorus:]
You stay taking pictures, pictures
Just to show them to your bitches, bitches
So you can make 'em jealous
Now I know where your head is
Man, you stay taking those pictures, pictures
Just to show them to your bitches, bitches
So you can make 'em jealous
So now I gotta dead this

[Verse 2 - Kehlani:]
So lowkey, I just stay out the way
I built a lab up in the crib so I don't leave all day
You always try to rush out when I need you to stay
But don't forget to post a pic of you with yo bae
And by the way, I see right through it
I let you slide now 'cause I know you're not use to it
If this is the way it is, don't even put me through it
I'm quick to cut it off, if you don't believe I'll do it

[Chorus]

[Verse 3 - Lexii Alijai:]
Look, look, look
Look, boy, don't tell me that you're sorry when
You with them bitches every night, when you be partying
Then you come late night, trying to hide your phone
You know that shit'll always end up in an argument, look
Why you always taking risk with me?
Hold me close by my waist, take pics with me
Women crush Wednesday's ain't mean shit to me
Little kid shit, I don't let it get to me
Literally the whole world know this shit
Need a girl but you busy chasing hoes and shit
You're the type to try to keep it on the low and shit
I need a real fly nigga, I'm the coldest bitch
I'm so legit, I goes and get
Got your bitches, they be all up on my shows and shit
Look, keep it real, 'cause every time we chill
All you wanna do is post a pic

[Chorus]

Niggas lyrics - Kehlani

[Verse 1:]
I'm young, I be sprung and
Sometimes it's just so damn fast
I'm not dumb, no I'm not dumb
I know exactly what went wrong in my past
So caught up
In what I thought it all should be
I'm locked up
So tired of losing parts of me
To all these niggas

[Chorus:]
Niggas gon' always be niggas
Can't afford to give my heart to these niggas
Ain't got time to lose my mind to these niggas

[Verse 2:]
I'm not yours, never was and
I really just can't be mad
I'm the one, I know, I'm the one
And I'm completely fine with everything that I am
Too damn strong
To let you get the best of me
Took way too long
To find the light inside of me
Fuck all these niggas

[Chorus]

[Verse 3:]
Niggas, niggas gon' be niggas
Walkin' 'round so small but actin' like they're bigger
Actin' so damn bitter, lettin' go of their temper
I ain't got the time so I'll crop that ass out that picture
I'd be mad if I stayed true, it ain't in me to play you
If I took you down, yeah you can't talk shit cause I fed you
You was lost and I led you, a part of me, boy I bled you
Thought you was the one but you actin' like you one of these niggas

[Chorus]

Wanted lyrics - Kehlani

Ask a woman when you are broken
You make a choice to stay down or go and
Find something to bring you back
To get you right, get you right on track
I was chosen, he found me in the perfect moment
Found my lows and made them high
Saw my storm and cleared my skies
I don't think I can deny

He makes me feel wanted
Like no one has before
He don't want nothing from me
But to know my love's for sure
Hate to be you watching him love me
I'd hate to be you watching him touch me
Now I am blessed to have what I need
Nothing compares, he is all I see

When I loved you I didn't love me
You were this dark cloud hanging above me
Got all my girls like, "Lani where'd you go?
You've begun to slip away into where, nobody knows"
I'm doing better
I brushed myself off, changed the weather
Like the Sun you are so warm, and for once I feel adored
Oh I could not ask for more

He makes me feel wanted
Like no one has before
He don't want nothing from me
But to know my love's for sure
Hate to be you watching him love me
I'd hate to be you watching him touch me
Now I am blessed to have what I need
Nothing compares, he is all I see

The Way lyrics - Kehlani (feat. Chance the Rapper)

I still didn't believe

[Verse 1 - Kehlani:]
You so damn important
Everything you do shows me you know it
Behind it all, you are the motive
Don't tell you enough, but baby I'll show it, show it
He say the king where he come from
Takes a young queen just to know one
So baby I'm a drive it like it's stolen
I'm a fix it like it's broken
We can catch a flight out to London
Go to the mall spend a lump sum
They can try to catch up to us
But they're too busy making assumptions

[Bridge:]
(Boy you know)
All I do
Is stay up all night, losing sleep over you
All I do
Is drive myself crazy, thinking about my baby

[Hook:]
It's the way you walk, the way you talk, babe (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's the way you love, the way you fuck, the way (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's the way you are; you're a star babe (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's the way you, the way you, oh

[Verse 2 - Chance the Rapper:]
She said, "I ain't even make my bed up.
Watch your step: you gon' wake my mama and dad up."
Pshh girl, didn't I tell you at the damn club
We gon' wake your neighbors
Turn your block club to my fan club
And it happened so fast
Damn, I'm glad I strapped up
Ask her when she finished, if she came
She said I lapped ya twice, uh
Run it back for the door, rematch
Flip the crib when we fuck, Remax
It get hot den a mug, glass cup
You can ask her if I fuck, she gassed (huh)
I gotta keep it a secret, I keep a key in my lower pocket
Inside a register below the lower octave
Dirty laundry in my closet, they be strung out on the street
Left to dry with dry sheets and no deposit
They don't gotta worry, put my hand on your mouth
Put my hands in your mouth, girl
We got plans at my house, you know the way up

[Hook]

[Verse 3 - Kehlani:]
This thing we got is crazy
Only thing I know is you're my baby
Forever down, I am your lady
Always for sure, never a maybe, uh-uh
Never met someone who spoke my language
Never met a nigga done with playin'
You the type of nigga make me lane switch
Hand me the brush and say paint it
Give me your heart, and I'll hold it
Show me your soul, and I'll mold it
Baby boy you gotta be the dopest
Gotta be to fuck with the coldest

[Bridge]

[Hook]

Unconditional lyrics - Kehlani

I'm far from perfect, nothing even close
But that's what makes me beautiful, that's something you should know
I'm not looking for someone to tell me how to row my boat
So let me live and let me learn I promise we will grow

If you love me like you say you love me
You'll be a man, you'll grab my hand
Take me as I am
I wanna l-l-l-l-l-l-l-love unconditional
I wanna l-l-l-l-l-l-l-love unconditional
I wanna l-l-l-l-l-l-l-love unconditional
I wanna l-l-l-l-l-l-l-love

Sometimes I come home and I'm sweaty from the day
And my hair's all in a messy bun cause I had to get it out my face
And I rather lace my sneakers up cause high heels ain't my thing
And I don't see a flaw in that, I never want to change

If you love me like you say
You'll be a man, you'll grab my hand
Take me as I am
I wanna l-l-l-l-l-l-l-love unconditional
I wanna l-l-l-l-l-l-l-love unconditional
I wanna l-l-l-l-l-l-l-love unconditional
I wanna l-l-l-l-l-l-l-love

So if you love me like you say
You'll be my man
Grab my hand
Take me as I am

The Letter lyrics - Kehlani

I can hear your laugh
It's ringing through the hallways
I can see your smile
It's what gets me through my hard days
And your words was suppose to get me through my heartache, before my heartbreak
There's an emptiness that only few ever feel
And I somehow missed the meaning of love that is real
And it compliments my scars that will never heal

Maybe I didn't deserve you
Maybe I just couldn't cure you
They told me that I didn't hurt you
Why do I feel like I turned you?
Maybe I don't understand it
Tell me is this how you planned it?
Did you see us so stranded
Maybe I'm too much to manage

And if you weren't gonna guide me
Why bring me into the light?
Must have done something to make you want to run and hide
Why oh why didn't you just live your life?
And every girl needs a mother
And damn it I needed you
Instead you duck for cover
And you ran from the truth
And like kids do
You waited around for proof

Maybe I didn't deserve you
Maybe I just couldn't cure you
They told me that I didn't hurt you
Why do I feel like I turned you?
And maybe I don't understand it
Tell me is this how you planned it?
Did you see us so stranded
Maybe I'm too much to manage

Maybe I didn't deserve you...

Runnin' (Interlude) lyrics - Kehlani

You saw right through every last bit of me
I should've known it from your energy
We've got this synergy, your soul was close like it remembers me
Instilled in me
90 degrees in California, you put chills in me
Said it's something about my city, something about my city
Oakland girls so damn hood but we're so damn pretty
Sometimes the town just brings you down but we've been no pity
Don't need no extra bodies, I got the connect with me
It's why you connect with me, it's why you could step with me
Why you can go hit the carpets, go 'head and get dressed with me
Make me forget my ex and you onto the next with me
Love has everything to do, Bobby needs his creds Whitney
I always said I'd be the one to do it
I changed the way they lookin' at us women makin' music
Don't put back on the crown, stop makin' us look so stupid
Not worried about these niggas unless it's you that I'm choosin'
Even if I chose I feel like you're the right decision
Yeah you got aspirations, you ain't fuckin' up the vision
I love that you're not worried 'bout any other niggas
Only longing for persistence, only want something consistent
Does it make you nervous I'm not afraid to say what I want?
Does it put fear into your heart that I know where I started
Far from where I begun?
Cause I know every man has a fear of a strong-minded woman
But I say she's a keeper if she got it on her own and keeps it runnin'
If she can keep it all runnin'
If she can keep it all runnin'
Keeps it runnin'
If she can keep it all runnin'
Keeps it runnin'
If she can keep it all runnin'

Be Alright lyrics - Kehlani

[Verse 1:]
There's always been those times when I needed a breather
When I might need a quick break from being the leader
Cause I'm just human, you gotta feel that
We're all just here to learn and everyday we are put up to bat
If you feeling down, no you ain't alone
And if you feeling all confused, no you are not on your own
Don't stress
Yeah we're too blessed

[Pre-Chorus:]
Someone told me babe when the tide is high, you just get low
Hold your breath and take it slow
Yes I might get wet
I might get thrown
But I'll resurface all on my own

[Chorus:]
I'll be alright, be alright
Just go with the tide
I'll be alright, be alright
I'll be doing fine
Be alright, be alright
Just go with the tide

[Verse 2:]
I always have those days when I feel unworthy
When I sit back and ask God why he chose me
Cause I'm just human, just like you are
We see the same ol' sky, at night we see the same stars
So if you feeling down, no you not alone
And if you feeling all confused, no you are not on your own
Don't trip
Baby just live

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

Down For You lyrics - Kehlani (feat. BJ the Chicago Kid)

[Verse 1 - Kehlani:]
Best friends or lovers
Can't seem to draw the line between each other
What is defined means nothing to a brother
You just don't give a damn, that's why I think I love ya
It's not fair, how easy I melt when you play with my hair
I ain't going nowhere, it's not right
I can't sleep without you anymore at night time
Not in this lifetime

[Hook 1 - Kehlani:]
Love ain't never been so close, but so far away
Like your mind is telling you to just back off
And your heart says just stay
What's a love that doesn't keep you up all night and all day
If it's not too late, yeah you realise it one day
We can go to the movies boy, maybe we could hang out boy
Whatever you wanna do, cause I'm down for it
I'm down for you

[Verse 2 - BJ the Chicago Kid:]
One day we're lovers, next day we're friends
Don't know where it begins or it ends
But let me tell you one thing going through a nigga's head
Most nigga's just scared
It feels too good to be true
Every time I'm with you
I'm ignoring what I'm next to

[Hook 2 - BJ the Chicago Kid:]
Cause love ain't never been so close, but so far away
It's like my mind is telling me to just back off
And my heart says just stay
Tell me what's a love that doesn't keep you up all night and all day
And if it's not too late, maybe I realise it one day
We can go to the movies girl, maybe we could hang out girl
Whatever you wanna do, cause I'm down for it
I'm down for you

[Break - Kehlani & (BJ the Chicago Kid):]
(I'm down for you baby)
Babe I'm down for you
(Are you down for me)
I'm down for you
I'm down for you

[Hook 1 - Kehlani & BJ the Chicago Kid]

[Outro - BJ the Chicago Kid:]
And when I'm ready baby
Maybe it won't be too late
Maybe one day you find some guy
That won't treat you like I will
Better choose up, better hurry up
Time keeps ticking, but you're my lover

Yet lyrics - Kehlani

[Hook:]
Look I ain't did shit to you yet
I ain't even shit on you yet
You ain't my enemy yet
But you ain't a friend to me yet
Don't recognize you
You ain't a friend to me yet
Don't recognize you
You ain't a friend to me yet

[Verse 1:]
Now I see the fear and the threats
I see that it's hard to connect
I see niggas calling the rain but the first to complain when they sneakers get wet
I see that I'm on some new shit
I see that it's something you hate
But what is not growing is dead
If you can't understand get the fuck out my face

[Bridge:]
You want something from me that I'm just not offering
You wanna roll but you just not down for wonderin'
You got potential, you got that, got that
You gotta ride the wave, stop acting like that

[Hook]

[Verse 2:]
I can go on about days, days when I did it alone
Had to go from couch to couch
Now I am sippin' on thrones
Time when my pockets was bare
Times when I just didn't eat
Times when my stomach was growling, my best friend and I went to sing on the street
I made a few dollars that day
I made 40 dollars the next
Now I hit the banks and I send all my aunties a nice little deposit and cheque
Now I'm hitting it on the road
They talking about I'm 'bout to blow
I use to get paid to hang up all the posters
But now I am packin' the show

[Hook]

Bright lyrics - Kehlani

[Verse 1:]
Little girl, watching her reflection
As she parts her curls into four sections
She says, "I don't look like them, I don't look like her, and I don't want what's on my head"
But baby girl don't be mislead
Yeah, yeah
Young woman reading magazines
Thinking to herself, nobody looks like me
Oh I've got all these curves, all this nerve
Why can't I keep a man?
But baby girl if you love yourself you can

[Chorus 1:]
Can't nobody love somebody that do not love themselves
You are what you choose to be
It's not up to no one else
So be great, be kind
Don't let them dim your light
A woman like a sun should always stay bright, no

[Verse 2:]
Little boy sitting in the bleachers
Staring at, at his dirty sneakers
Thinking my shoes don't shine
Money is tight, I would never get a date
But baby boy that's not what it takes
Young man, always at the center
Finding ways to make his arms look bigger
Saying, "You see those guys? They get all the girls, I just want to be like them"
But baby boy, you're spreading yourself thin

[Chorus 2:]
Cause can't nobody love somebody that do not love themselves
You are what you choose to be
It's not up to no one else
So be great, be kind
Don't let them dim your light
Cause a man like the sun should always stay bright

[Outro:]
Yes you are like the sun so always stay bright

Alive lyrics - Kehlani (feat. Coucheron)

[Verse 1:]
Rain is good for the soul
Crazy how I feel the most warm when it's cold
Drops hit the window and I drop down to the floor
I assume this is when I would miss you the most
I'm lying down
I've got this notepad where you laid your head
We use to go round and round
Making love in my bed
We were in so deep
We could barely tread
But now I found a way to heal myself instead

[Chorus:]
And damn I feel alive
Baby, damn I feel alive
It's like something has to die
To help you realize
Damn I feel alive

[Verse 2:]
We were in a weird place
Crazy how a person you love could just change
Now I am learning to realize we needed our space
I could never hurt you, we use to be great
And you use to say, what goes around comes around so fast
Now just look at the way
I'm moving on and you stuck in the past
I deserve a love that is gonna last
But until then I will just raise this glass

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
I feel, I feel
Turn this song up if you feel alive
I feel, you feel
Let it all go cause right now's the time
Let go, live on
So you can be free, yeah free to fly
I know it's hard but it's worth it

[Chorus]

As I Am lyrics - Kehlani

In my head every time I take a step it's on the clouds
Feeling like a whole lot of power and I don't need a crown
Cause you know the royals you never get to fall in love anyways
And if you couldn't tell I'm falling even more everyday

And every time you kiss me I hear a song
When you look at me it's like nothing's ever wrong
Maybe I'm bad for living in the fantasy
One where you're almost as in love with me

As I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, with you
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, baby baby
As I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, with you

Can you put those hands on my body and baby just feel me?
If I gave you the chance to hold my soul would you just feel me, see the real me?
Cause I love that if you do
I would owe all my happiness to you
If you couldn't tell baby my smile has been brand new, yeah

And every time you kiss me I hear a song
When you look at me it's like nothing's ever wrong
Maybe I'm bad for living in the fantasy
One where you're almost as in love with me

As I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, with you
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, baby baby
As I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, with you

I can love you, I can love you
I can love you, better than she can
I can love you, I can love you
I can love you, better than she can

As I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, with you
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, baby baby
As I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, with you

Get Away lyrics - Kehlani

Don't let it go, let it go
Don't let it slip away

Every man wants a queen
Like Jada in her prime 1990's fine
Gotta match his fly like something from a dream, or movie script
When you kiss her lips, should feel something like this

All of a sudden music's playing in the background
Not just any music talking Mr. Soul Child
Sparks will fly when lips first touch
All of these doubts get left in the dust
Heat of the moment so no room to judge, no room to judge

So tonight you should go and take a chance with her
She could be everything you wanted, everything you wanted boy
Don't let that get away
Don't let that slip away
Don't let that love escape
Don't let that get, don't let that get away, don't let that
Don't let that slip away
Don't let that love escape
Don't let that get away
Don't let that slip away
Don't let that love escape

I always wondered 'bout why you let me go?
Why you let me walk, up on out that door?
We just went out for drinks
Then you took me home
Walked me to my porch
Where you turned me on

That night you told me that you heard it in the background
Not just any music talking Mr. Soul Child
Said you was scared to come fuck with me cause you see I'm chasing dreams
But that don't mean that I don't need no love

So tonight you should go and take a chance with her
She could be everything you wanted, everything you wanted boy
Don't let that get away
Don't let that slip away
Don't let that love escape
Don't let that get, don't let that get away, don't let that
Don't let that slip away
Don't let that love escape
Don't let that get away
Don't let that slip away
Don't let that love escape

Deserve Better lyrics - Kehlani

Girl I've become, girl I've become
Girl I've become, girl I've become

Let me ask you first, what did you think when you saw me?
Was I something that you wanted?
Or only just another cure for lonely?
Another you don't plan on catching after throwing?
Spent a lot of time, fixing my heart
Gathering my peace of mind
And I worked so goddamn hard

Now I love the girl I've become
Now I love the girl I've become
Oh no no no, I finally know the wrong that was done
Finally know the wrong that was done
And I deserve better, better, better
I deserve better, yeah yeah
I deserve better, better, better
I deserve better

Now let me get this straight
Said you had ideas for us, wanted to travel the world
And provide a shield for all of the crazy things that come with this game we play
All the shit that the people say is
They don't know how we live, they don't know how we love
You said it so well can't believe I was so dumb
But all I'm tryna say is I'm not crazy
I finally know my self worth baby

Now I love the girl I've become
Now I love the girl I've become
Oh no no no, I finally know the wrong that was done
Finally know the wrong that was done
And I deserve better, better, better
I deserve better, yeah yeah
I deserve better, better, better
I deserve better

How We Do Us lyrics - Kehlani (feat. Kyle Dion)

Love shouldn't be defined
Love is one of a kind
What we do is crazy baby
All the ways you make me feel
The way you do me like that
The way you do me like that
We just understand what nobody else can
You know how to put it down
How to pick me up and never cause me stress
Every day's a rush
You always cracking jokes and always make me blush
I could stand the world if it was just us
Every day you love me so
Never let you go
When I say it's on you'll never tell me no
That's love baby
That's us baby

You know ain't explaining all this love we making
They think that we're crazy but it's us
Cause this is how we do us baby
This is how we do us baby

Don't you hate it when they get to asking all them questions 'bout the way we rockin'
Like, we gotta have a separate title or something
Gotta be on TV like the idols or something
Cause baby boy this ain't no way that I could ever begin to explain
The way we love
The way we trust
The bond we have
It's just for us
Just for us
Telling me, yeah we're soul mates
I knew it ever since our very first date yeah
You the truth
I need the whole thing
But I won't risk putting this love at stake
For a simple explanation to a simple muthafucka
Who really don't know us
Really don't wanna
I mean it when I say it, that I only wanna love ya
That other shit is extra
Baby far above it now
I know sometimes I do a little much
I know sometimes you got a little problems with your trust
But that's love baby
That's us baby

You know ain't explaining all this love we making
They think that we're crazy but it's us
Cause this is how we do us baby
This is how we do us baby

You're the only one I want and I can never leave your side
You're always here down to ride
You're always here and that's why
I fu-u-u-uck with you
Said he fucking with me cause I'm down
He know every single lyric
He at every single show and
Baby that's why I'm in love with you

You know ain't explaining all this love we making
They think that we're crazy but it's us
Cause this is how we do us baby
This is how we do us baby

1st Position lyrics - Kehlani

Not cookie cutter not picture perfect
Unexpected but I'm worth it
Could expose you to this life, if that's what you like
Explore your thoughts, stop actin' scared
I could see you watching let me take it there
Let me show you what it's like, to fuck with something right
Girl let me put you on with something real
Wanna show you how it feels, to rock with something trill
So come join me in this room girl it's time
I know what you like baby, let me get you right

Oh na na, let me put you on
Oh na na na, let me put you on
Said she wanna try it, ain't tryna hide it
Fuck all of that fightin', ain't doin' no more lyin'

I start off slow so you feel secure
Just let me know where you feel it more
If your breath gets quick, that's normal
If my hands move slick, that's normal
We could smoke one first if you tryna get lit
My weed on ten come take a hit
Cause we on girl, we on
Girl let me put you on with something real
Wanna show you how it feels, to rock with something trill
So come join me in this room girl it's time
I know what you like baby, let me get you right

Oh na na, let me put you on
Oh na na na, let me put you on
Said she wanna try it, ain't tryna hide it
Fuck all of that fightin', ain't doin' no more lyin'
Oh na na, let me put you on
Oh na na na, let me put you on
Said she wanna try it, ain't tryna hide it
Fuck all of that fightin', ain't doin' no more lyin'

Say baby, stop messing with those boys get you a lady
Keep it 100 grand, don't try to play me
Fuck around with my heart might have to pay me, might have to pay me

Oh na na, let me put you on
Oh na na na, let me put you on
Said she wanna try it, ain't tryna hide it
Fuck all of that fightin', ain't doin' no more lyin'

Act A Fool lyrics - Kehlani (feat. IamSu!)

[Kehlani:]
Don't act like you ain't seen me in this party lookin' right, baby
Don't fight the feelings that you have for me tonight
Cause we're grown, baby, you know it
Want it but you just won't show it
Eyes glued to me like you're slow motion
Got you hooked on my potion, baby

I'ma act a fool with it
You know I had to act a fool with it
Tryna get high, you can cool with it
Keep on watchin' what I do with it
I'ma act a fool with it
No, no, no, no, baby
I'ma act a fool with it
No, no, no, no, I

Get you
I promise that I'm not wastin' no more time, baby
(No time, no time, no time)
(No time, no time, no time)
And it ain't no rules
I'm ready to make you lose your goddamn mind
Got that good and I know it
I want it, baby and I'm gon' show it
Eyes glued to me like slow motion
I got you jumped on my potion, baby

I'ma act a fool with it
You know I had to act a fool with it
Tryna get high, you can cool with it
Keep on watchin' what I do with it
I'ma act a fool with it
No, no, no, no, baby
I'ma act a fool with it
No, no, no, no, I

[IamSu!:]
I know what you want
You wanna get paid more than the first of the month
Lookin' for somebody to come put you on
That'll take you to the store, tell her "Pick what you want"
So uh, go ahead and act up, Imma throw this stack up
I'm always holdin' down the Bay, that's where I get my mack from
When I hit it Imma kill it, that's fatal attraction
She want a G up in her unit like I'm Curtis Jackson
And I'll teach you how to stunt
Rich city nigga, diamonds in my gold fronts
I'm lookin' at her once and then she rollin' up a blunt
She say she comin' to the Bay and she ain't comin' home for months
Now she goin' dumb
And she know she got a goal every time she come
She wanna turn into a bro, I'ma make her one
And I stack a lot of dough, I'ma make a ton
Money maker do the fool, you know this your one

[Kehlani:]
I'ma act a fool with it
You know I had to act a fool with it
Tryna get high, you can cool with it
Keep on watchin' what I do with it
I'ma act a fool with it
No, no, no, no, baby
I'ma act a fool with it
No, no, no, no, I

Tell Your Mama lyrics - Kehlani

It's so easy to become caught up in your own life
Filled with all of your own problems, can't even sleep at night
Everyday it's like a new problem arrives
Need to ground yourself, can't afford to lose your mind
If you wanna know the secret, if you want the best advice
Come and take a listen
Fall in love with what you find

Go and tell your mama you love her, go and tell your mama you love her
Without her you could not love another, without her you could not love another
Go and tell your mama you love her

Everything she did in the past, you knew it already happened
No use to every time you see her you get to snappin'
She's constantly apologizing for the things that she has done
But what you must remember is those very first 9 months
Let me let you in on a secret, if you want all this advice
Come and take a listen, you fall in love with what you find

Go and tell your peoples you love em, go and tell your peoples you love em
And thank them cause without em you're nothing, and thank em cause without em you're nothing

Go and tell your mama you love her
Go and tell your daddy you love him
Now go and tell your brother you love em
Now go and tell your sister you love em
Now go and tell your cousins you love em
Now go and tell your homies you love em
Now go and tell your baby you love em
You tell em, you say baby I love you
