Sweet Sexy Savage (2017)












Intro lyrics - Kehlani

[Reyna Biddy:]
My condolences to anyone who has ever lost me, and to anyone who got lost in me or to anyone who ever felt they took a loss with me, my apologies for the misunderstanding or the lack thereof. I'm sorry you missed the God in me and I'm sorry you missed the light, I'm sorry you forgot the way I arose like the moon night after night with the burden to forgive, eager to feed you everything.

See, I'm a holy woman. I know what it's like to give life to a being without ever needing to press skin against one another. I've practiced how to hold my tongue long enough, I'm afraid I forgot to say goodbye. I'm afraid you're under the impression that I was made to please you. I was under the impression you understood me better.

The truth is, I'm a superwoman, and some days I'm an angry woman, and some days I'm a crazy woman for still waiting, for still loving harder even if I'm aching, for still trusting that I'm still worth the most, for still searching, for someone to understand me better (understand me better).

Keep On lyrics - Kehlani

Sometimes I just be doing shit that don't make any fucking sense
Like I just be doing shit knowing that it's no good for me
All the time

Anything you're saying to me right now
Probably have the right to say
Any crazy things you're feeling for me tonight
You can get it on out the way

'Cause I ain't been the best that I coulda been
I ain't do the shit that I shoulda did
But every time I come crawling on my knees
You're there

And you just keep on taking me back
And I don't know why you do
'Cause I'm no good to you
And you just keep on taking me back
In your open arms, maybe I belong
And you just keep on taking

You can yell and you can curse and call me a bitch
Probably have the right to do
You can tell the world that I'm a narcissist
I would think they'd listen to you

'Cause I ain't been the best that I coulda been
I ain't do the shit that I shoulda did
But every time I come crawling on my knees
You're there

And you just keep on taking me back
And I don't know why you do
'Cause I'm no good to you
And you just keep on taking me back
In your open arms, maybe I belong
And you just keep on taking

Me back, and I don't know why you do
'Cause I'm no good to you
And you just keep on taking me back
In your open arms, baby I belong
And you just keep on taking

I'm not taking you back
Oh, no, I'm not
No, I'm
Taking me, you're taking me really back
No, I'm, no, I'm, no, I'm, no, I'm not

Distraction lyrics - Kehlani

Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna be...

Do me a favor, pick me up, take me out later
Don't worry about no paper
'Cause I got much stacked up for nights like this
My life can get crazy, I deal with shit on the daily
But baby, I'm thinking maybe
We could agree to work it out like this

I need you (you, oh) to give me your time (give me your time)
I need you (you, oh) to not wanna be mine

Are you down to be a distraction, baby?
But don't distract me, let me ask you, baby
Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna be
A distraction, baby?
Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna be
Yeah, yeah
Are you down to be a distraction, baby?
But don't distract me, let me ask you, baby
Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna be
A distraction, baby?
Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna be

I need you to respect it, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Sometimes this shit get me stressing, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
So I need you with me to keep me right and keep me up all night
We can get faded
This life can make you so jaded
So we can stay shaded just to us and try to get it right, oh

I need you (you, oh) to give me your time (give me your time)
I need you (you, oh) to not wanna be mine

Are you down to be a distraction, baby?
But don't distract me, let me ask you, baby
Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna be
A distraction, baby?
Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna be
Yeah, yeah
Are you down to be a distraction, baby?
But don't distract me, let me ask you, baby
Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna be
A distraction, baby?
Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna be

I can't say I give my all
But tonight, I'd risk it all
Woah, woah, woah
Are you down to be...

Are you down to be a distraction, baby?
But don't distract me, let me ask you, baby
Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna be
A distraction, baby?
Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna be
Yeah, yeah
Are you down to be a distraction, baby?
But don't distract me, let me ask you, baby
Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna be
A distraction, baby?
Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna be

Piece Of Mind lyrics - Kehlani

To be honest, I think we spend so much time trying to find answers for things
And maybe it's just not meant to be answered
I think sometimes the best things are in the unplanned and the unknown
And sometimes when we balance back and we do it, we don't know how we did it, we just do it
It's something in us, whether that's our intuition
Whether that's the way we been raised
Whether that's down to even what we put in our bodies
Do you get?
So I think, I think that can remain a mystery
And I think that's okay for it to remain a mystery
Does that make sense?

Tryna forget all of the messages
Tryna forget all of the stressin'
'Cause damn it was (such a pain)
Tryna forget all of the secondary
Feelings I had, man, it was fuckin' scary
Tryna get back to all my old ways
Tryna get back to all the hobbies from my old days
(Gettin' back)
Tryna forget all the unnecessary
Thoughts from my head, man, it was pretty scary

At least I learned a thing or two (yeah)
About me and you (yeah)
What we went through (yeah)
It made me who I am, I am, I am
I can feel again
Won't be numb again (numb)
At least I didn't mess it up (yeah)
That was all your touch (yeah)
I don't miss it much (yeah)
But it made me who I am, I am, I am
I can feel again
Won't be dumb again (dumb)

Said I'm tryna break off a piece of mind
A piece of mind that I can't get right
(I can't get right)
Said I'm tryna break off a piece of mind
A piece of mind, my heart's on my side
(My heart is on my side)

You said yourself you made me who I am
You told me that after you I would never love again (Didn't I?)
Oh you made sure that I would lose myself
So I wanna see I need no one else
Just tell me that I was worth a million smiles, and...
Tell me that I was worth a million miles, and...
Tryna make sure that I forget the times that
You made me think that I just couldn't shine, yeah

At least I learned a thing or two (yeah)
About me and you (yeah)
What we went through (yeah)
It made me who I am, I am, I am
I can feel again
Won't be numb again (numb)
At least I didn't mess it up (yeah)
That was all your touch (yeah)
I don't miss it much (yeah)
But it made me who I am, I am, I am
I can feel again
Won't be dumb again (dumb)

Said I'm tryna break off a piece of mind
A piece of mind that I can't get right
(I can't get right)
Said I'm tryna break off a piece of mind
A piece of mind, my heart's on my side
(My heart is on my side)

On my side, yeah
On my side, yeah
Gotta get a little piece of mind
Gotta make sure that it feels just right
Gotta make sure that I make it last this time

Said I'm tryna break off a piece of mind
(I'm tryna break off)
A piece of mind that I can't get right
(Boy that I can't get right)
Said I'm tryna break off a piece of mind
(A piece of mind)
A piece of mind, my heart's on my side
(My heart is on my side
My heart's on my side, yeah, yeah)

Da, da, da, da
(Da)
Da, da, da, da
Yeah
Da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da

Undercover lyrics - Kehlani

You know they don't wanna see us together
But it don't matter, no, 'cause I got you
Anytime you're under the weather
Babe we can always go
If I gotta pull up on you, on the east side
In the late night, in a disguise
You know I could pull up on you, keep you all night
We could stay right, on the safe side

One way or another
I'mma love you
Slidin' under covers, undercover
They don't wanna see it happen
But we say, "Fuck it."
They don't wanna see it happen
But we say, "Fuck it."
One way or another
I'mma love you
Slidin' under covers, undercover
They don't wanna see it happen
But we say, "Fuck it." (Fuck 'em)
They don't wanna see it happen
But we say, "Fuck it."

Baby they don't wanna see me be happy
'Cause they ain't happy, no
They don't got you
Somethin' 'bout the way we be acting
Babe we are magical
Might just have to hit me up, on the late night
When it's game time, I don't play nice
I need you to hit me up, on my fake line
Hit that 6-9, yeah, that FaceTime

One way or another
I'mma love you
Slidin' under covers, undercover
They don't wanna see it happen
But we say, "Fuck it."
They don't wanna see it happen
But we say, "Fuck it."
One way or another
I'mma love you
Slidin' under covers, undercover
They don't wanna see it happen
But we say, "Fuck it."
They don't wanna see it happen
But we say, "Fuck it."

I'm a save your name under somethin' else
I'm a keep your things deep in myself
I'm a tweet our inside jokes to the outside world
To get you going
I'm a pick you up from the back entrance
Kept you in the world when it's all pretend
You're just you, I'm just me
There's no us, it's nothin'

One way or another
I'mma love you
Slidin' under covers, undercover
They don't wanna see it happen
But we say, "Fuck it."
They don't wanna see it happen
But we say, "Fuck it."
One way or another
I'mma love you
Slidin' under covers, undercover
They don't wanna see it happen
But we say, "Fuck it."
They don't wanna see it happen
But we say, "Fuck it."

CRZY lyrics - Kehlani

Crazy
I go, I go, I go, I go

Everything I do, I do it with a passion
If I gotta be a bitch, I'mma be a bad one
I'm AI with the designs du-ragging
Bounce back game good, why we talkin' practice?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Pull up score when I want to
Best thing, next to Heaven
They be tryna count me out though
I'm just countin', countin' blessings
A real woman bout her paper
Niggas don't know where I came from
Boy I really really came up
You never could say I'm lacking
All the shit that I've been through only made me more of an assassin
I kill 'em, I kill 'em, I kill 'em with compassion
And baby if they askin'

Tell 'em, tell 'em, tell 'em, tell 'em
I go, I go, I go, I go crazy, crazy
I go, I go, I go, I go crazy, crazy
Live for the challenge, only makes me stronger
One more reason to turn up on 'em
I go, I go, I go, I go crazy, crazy

Lit, lit, lit, lit
Only L I take is to the face
You showed up to see me lose
But I overcome so you overcame
Basic, basic
Ain't nothin' bout me basic
Crazy, I'm crazy
Better watch what you say to me 'cause
Young Sway got the answers
Give 'em hell, give 'em pressure (aye)
VIP couch, no manners
Dirty dirty dirty dancin'
Take a look at what I did
Go full circle with the wrist
Whippin' whippin' up the grit
Get a handful of this nasty
I got it, I got it, I got it
And you gon' respect it
Ain't nothin', ain't nothin' gon' stop me from makin' it happen
So baby if they askin'

Tell 'em, tell 'em, tell 'em, tell 'em
I go, I go, I go, I go crazy, crazy
I go, I go, I go, I go crazy, crazy
Live for the challenge, only makes me stronger
One more reason to turn up on 'em
I go, I go, I go, I go crazy, crazy
I go, I go, I go, I go crazy
I go, I go, I go, I go crazy, crazy, crazy

Personal lyrics - Kehlani

They sleeping, they sleeping, they sleeping, they sleeping on me
But I don't waste my time tryna prove that I'm something to see, oh I
The real ones they know and the ones that do not I don't need
'Cause most see the vision and I give reasons to believe

That I'm honest, I'm honest, I'm telling no lies
When I say I'm up next I'm not just for the ride
Never a point when I questioned my mind
Know what I’m doing, I planned for this time
Come up regardless, I'm comin' regardless
I'm hungry, I'm starving, remaining a topic
Never an option, got your undivided whenever I'm plotting

Don't take it personal, personal, personal
Don't take it personal, personal, personal
I know it hurts to know, hurts to know, hurts to know
I don't want it (na, na, na), don't need it (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Don't take it personal, personal, personal
Don't take it personal, personal, personal
I know it hurts to know, hurts to know, hurts to know
I don't want it (na, na, na), don't need it (yeah, yeah, yeah)

I know that you hear this and you gon' just know that I'm speaking to you
Shouldn't have got so ahead of yourself now you're losing your cool
I know that you know that I'm right, you admitted that I am the truth
But look you at you now, look at your face, looking sad in the booth

Signed off a tape, toured off a tape, did it alone, and I ain't touched your plate
You was my nigga, we could have been great
You so far gone, got you thinking you're safe
All said and done, you lost my respect
All said and done, you're the one I regret
Now you gon' watch from the crowd
Lookin' up like the rest

Don't take it personal, personal, personal (Look)
Don't take it personal, personal, personal (I need you to promise me one thing)
I know it hurts to know, hurts to know, hurts to know (That you not gon' take it like that)
I don't want it, don't need it
Don't take it personal, personal, personal (Promise me that you won't take it)
Don't take it personal, personal, personal (Swear to me that you won't take it)
I know it hurts to know, hurts to know, hurts to know
I don't want it, don't need it

No I could never judge anyone I loved
Even if you lose sight of all the things I've done
I'm not who I once was
These days I'm all grown up
I fuck with me heavy
I'm all chose up

And I only did right by you
When you fucked her I stood right by you
Prayin' for the girls that believe your news
Prayin' for myself 'cause I be all truth
I got good heart, good soul, good sex, no stress
What's next for me is best
Don't you run your mouth
'Cause in this song I say it best

Don't take it personal, personal, personal
Don't take it personal, personal, personal
I know it hurts to know, hurts to know, hurts to know
I don't want it, don't need it
Don't take it personal, personal, personal
Don't take it personal, personal, personal
I know it hurts to know, hurts to know, hurts to know
I don't want it, don't need it

Not Used To It lyrics - Kehlani

Typical story of an Oakland girl
Typical story heard around the world
Mama on her way, daddy up above
Out of 14, I guess it made me tough
Used to roll up on a block on the east side
I crack enough 40's by the sea side
Lose a nigga every week to a drive by
Whole bookshelf of stories behind these eyes I

I don't mean, I don't mean for it to sound so damn common
I don't mean, I don't mean for it to sound like I'm jawsin'
But when I say it's hard to open up to you
It's hard to get close to you
I want it with everything in me to one day just say I'm in love with you

But I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it, I am not
I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it, hey
I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it, I am not
I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it
(I'm not used to it)

One day, one day, one day
One day, one day, one day

All single mothers in my family
Don't know if you're really understanding me
Never seen a nigga be a real man
I never seen a nigga with a real plan
And I still never been to a wedding
And I just see my family stressing
Over sons who grew up with no daddies and every generation
Was all just raised by my granny
But nah

I don't mean, I don't mean for it to sound so damn common
I don't mean, I don't mean for it to sound like I'm jawsin'
But when I say it's hard to just side with you
It's hard to confide in you
I want it with everything in me to one day just say that I ride with you

But I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it, I am not
I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it, hey
I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it, I am not
I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it
(I'm not used to it)

One day, one day, one day
One day, one day, one day

Sometimes I pop off 'cause it's all that I'm used to
Sometimes I pop one 'cause I have to
Sometimes I run from all my problems
Sometimes I make sure that I solve em
I don't mean, I don't mean for it to sound so damn common
I don't mean, I don't mean for it to sound so damn common, but I'm not used to it

But I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it, I am not (baby, yeah)
I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it, hey (I'm not used to it)
I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it, I am not (baby I'm sorry)
I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it (I'm not, I'm not)

Yeah, yeah
One day, one day, one day, one day
Yeah, yeah, hey yeah
'Cause I'm not used to it

Everything Is Yours lyrics - Kehlani

Up at a time when I shouldn't be
Thinking 'bout things that I shouldn't be
Sad about shit I'm sad about for the past year
I've been low, I've been down and out it
And it cost a few when you in love if there's any doubts
I've been here and you know the times that I'm talking bout

(Oh, oh)
I would give it all to make it all work
(Oh, oh)
I wish I could say that you knew my worth
(Oh, oh)
End of the day, you was my first
At the end of the day, you'll know you're worse

I love you shawty, shawty
You know you my shawty, shawty
I need you to make me happy
There will never be nobody

My ring is yours (save it, for me)
Everything is yours (save it all for me)
My ring is yours (save it, for me)
Everything is yours

Thinkin' bout your bed when I shouldn't be
Missing all that when I shouldn't be
You was on the road, I was on the road
We'd be back to back, back and forth
They know how it goes, know you got your pride
Just admit you hate being alone
Know you'd like to know
I'm sitting right beside your throne

(Oh, oh)
I'd ignore my friends and go make it all work
(Oh, oh)
But I just can't say that you know my worth
(Oh, oh)
End of the day, you're still my first
At the end of the day, I know you're worse

I love you shawty, shawty (you know it)
You know you my shawty, shawty
(You know you my shawty)
I need you to make me happy
There will never be nobody

My ring is yours (save it, for me)
Everything is yours (save it all for me)
My ring is yours (save it, for me)
Everything is yours (yours)
My ring is yours (save it, for me)
Everything is yours (save it all for me)
My ring is yours (save it, for me)
Everything is yours

Advice lyrics - Kehlani

You have a way with words
Your silence is a curse
You always seem to break me down, down, down
My swollen heart you curve
Your comfort makes it worse
I don't want you around, 'round, 'round, 'round

Cause how is the man of my dreams not a man of his words?
And how is the man for me just a man that makes me hurt?

It's time to take my own
Take my own advice, take my own advice
Need me to take my own
Take my own advice, take my own advice

I almost lost my mind
I left myself behind
I almost crashed and fell right from the sky
I took a chance on this
I took too big a risk
And now I'm left with pain to get me high

Cause how is the man of my dreams not a man of his words?
And how is the man for me just a man that makes me hurt?

It's time to take my own
Take my own advice, take my own advice
Need me to take my own
Take my own advice, take my own advice

You had to break me, take me
To make me better
But I had to save me, baby
Now or never

Cause how is the man of my dreams not a man of his words?
And how is the man for me just a man that makes me hurt?

It's time to take my own
Take my own advice, take my own advice
Need me to take my own
Take my own advice, take my own advice

Take, own, ooh, ooh
Take, own, ooh, ooh
