While We Wait (2019)












Footsteps lyrics - Kehlani (feat. Musiq Soulchild)

Patience could've done us well
'Cause I could tell that all we lacked was presence
And I would've fell, you could've helped

But here's to being honest
Neither of us knew what we wanted
But all we knew is that we cared
Still all we painted was a moment

And when I walked away
I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me
And when I walked away
I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me
You're so bad at holding water, slips right through your fingers
We'd both end up drowning, it would hit the ground
And then the path would wash away, wash away

Look
And I really wanna work this out 'cause I'm tired of fighting
And I really hope you still want me the way I want you
And it really feels like this shit been on autopilot
And it's habitual to be the bitch I am but not the chick you want
Residual damage left in place of what was beautiful
Excuses only work when what we've done is still excusable
You let the truth unfold

But still, cheers to being honest
Neither of us knew what we wanted
But all we knew is that we cared
Still all we painted was a moment

And when I walked away
I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me
And when I walked away
I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me
You're so bad at holding water, slips right through your fingers
We'd both end up drowning, it would hit the ground
And then the path would wash away, wash away

You are a vision of perfection
In my eyes, I was caught up in a blessing
Didn't realize how it wasn't fair to compare
All the things I know that I've been through
As if you didn't have anything that you went through
I treated you like medicine, but I guess I wasn't listening
And you tried to explain that you had hurt and pain, too
But as long as I felt better, then it was all good
But we wasn't good, so convinced that things were understood
Meanwhile, I had baggage to unpack, and I just had to admit that
Still dealing with the battles, feeling so inadequate
And I know that I shoulda stayed
But at the time, it felt like I had to quit
And I know that you probably thinking
Just I ain't thinking 'bout myself
But you still playing in my head to this day talking 'bout

You could've helped
But still, cheers to being honest
Neither of us knew what we wanted (No)
But all we knew is that we cared (Uh)
Still all we painted was a moment (Ah)

And when I walked away
I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me
And when I walked away
I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me
You're so bad at holding water, slips right through your fingers
We'd both end up drowning, it would hit the ground
And then the path would wash away, wash away (Wash away)

Too Deep lyrics - Kehlani

I argue with my side thing (Yuh)
Way more than my main thing (Yuh)
I thought we were just fucking
I can't fall in love for nothing
I can't lie to you for nothing
I made you who you wasn't
We was candy crushing

But this shit getting too deep (Yeah yeah)
Too deep (Yeah yeah)
Too deep for me
Getting too deep (Yeah yeah)
Too deep (Yeah yeah)
Too deep for me
This shit too deep

Too aggravated, too complicated
More, more, more, more complicated
Le-le-le-less communication
Less conversation, more confrontation
I'ma catch a case, no exoneration
I'ma go to jail, now I'm contemplating
I don't know what you see in me
I don't ever wanna be with you
I don't know why you pass for it
Wasting energy texting me
Text messages, thread messages
I don't wanna think less of you, no (No)
I just wanna see the best for you, yeah

But this shit getting too deep (Getting too)
Too deep (Deep, yeah)
Too deep for me (Getting too deep)
Getting too deep (Yeah yeah)
Too deep (Yeah yeah)
Too deep (Too deep) for me
This shit too deep

Too many steps, too many levels
Too many laps, too many hurdles
You don't wanna get hurt by me
I don't wanna be a crutch for ya
Too insane, too irritated
Too insufficient, too inconsistent
You just wanna talk, I don't wanna listen
Now I wanna talk, you don't wanna listen
I don't ever wanna lose you again
You don't ever wanna see me again
Say that I'm done, leave you alone
Mark you, then call you again (Again, again, again, again)
Again (Again, again)
Not like this usually

But this shit's getting too deep (Yeah yeah)
Too deep (Yeah yeah)
Too deep for me
Getting too deep (Just a little too)
Too deep (Little too deep)
Too deep for me (Just a little too deep)
This shit too deep

Nunya lyrics - Kehlani (feat. Dom Kennedy)

Hit-Boy
TrapAdix

Why you asking 'bout X, Y, Z?
Why you worried 'bout who was fuckin' me?
Who's to the right in my SUV?
It's none of your, none of your, none of your biz
Calling my girls to check where I been
If you needed to know I'd drop a pin
Keeping to yourself really ain't a sin
But you can't, you can't let me live

You put on a show
'Cause you don't want the world to know
That you lost a girl who got it on her own
It'd be good for you to let it go, let it go, let it go

Ain't nunya business (Nunya)
Ain't nunya business (Nunya)
To know who I'm with
Or none of my shit
Ain't nunya business (Nunya)
Ain't nunya business (Nunya)
To know who I'm with
Or none of my shit (None of my shit)

Don't worry 'bout who it is now
Don't worry 'bout if he got kids now
If he's richer than you, slicker than you
His net worth bigger than you
And his dick ain't thicker than you
It's on me, not you (Not you)
Worry 'bout who you go home to (Home to)
Worry 'bout if she gon' leave you (Leave you)
When she find out all that you do

'Cause you put on a show
'Cause you don't want the world to know
That you lost a girl who got it on her own
It'd be good for you to let it go, let it go, let it go, woah

Ain't nunya business (Nunya)
Ain't nunya business (Nunya)
To know who I'm with
Or none of my shit
Ain't nunya business (Nunya)
Ain't nunya business (Nunya)
To know who I'm with
Or none of my shit (None of my)

Ay, I admit it, I admit
If I saved her phone number then I did it (Hello?)
It's hard when the coupe all black (Yeah)
Just left Melrose got it waxed, done
Now I'm on the other side of the track
If the grass greener lemme know (Lemme know)
These thoughts in my head - gotta let 'em out
I know it's due to the girls I let stick around
My heart on my sleeve, check the tag
It's priceless and that lil' crisis
Put me on a slight binge, had me switching my plans
Can't worry 'bout the past, seen you out here holdin' hands
I shoulda knew that was coming (Why?)
I know a few that did done it (Huh?)
By my lonely when they see me 'round town
I'm all business, no feelings, not now

'Cause you put on a show (Haha)
'Cause you don't want the world to know
That you lost a girl who got it on her own (Wow)
It'd be good for you to let it go, let it go, let it go, woah

Ain't nunya business (Ain't none of your, yeah)
Ain't nunya business (None of your, yeah)
To know who I'm with (To know who I'm with)
Or none of my shit (Oh, none of my shit, yeah)
Ain't nunya business (Ain't none of your)
Ain't nunya business (No it ain't, no, no)
To know who I'm with (To know who I'm with)
Or none of my shit (None of my shit, yeah)

Word?
You got it all figured out, huh?
Do your thang then
You know where to find me
Get what you want
Yeah

Morning Glory lyrics - Kehlani

I wanna take my wig off
I wanna lay it on the nightstand
I wanna take my makeup off
I wanna rip these nails off my hands

And I might look like who did what and why
Up under all of this
But you came to spend the night
So you know that there was way more to me

And if you don't want me at my goodnight
Then you can’t have me at my morning glory
At my morning glory
And if you don't want me at my goodnight
Then it's gon’ be goodbye (Gonna be, gonna be)
Gon' be goodbye

This ain't BK, you can't have it your way
The only thing you decide is your stay
Wit' me or the homies, caked up or lonely
Tonight or the morning, yeah

And I might look like oh me and oh my
Up under all of this
But you came to spend the night
So you know that there was way more to me

And if you don't want me at my goodnight (Yeah)
Then you can't have me at my morning glory (Glory)
At my morning glory
And if you don't want me at my goodnight (No, no, no, no, no)
Then it’s gon’ be goodbye (Goodbye)
Gon' be goodbye (Yeah)

Tell me, why should I be trippin’ on you
While I could be payin' dues?
I'm a fountain of youth, raised on Arie and Badu
I know I'm fine, don’t need a outer confirmation from a man
Who uses 2-in-1 and thinks he's a sensation
Don't need acrylics on the clock to hit the nail on the head
Don't need my inches down my back to throw it back in the bed
So, when you speak on me and say that "She ain't put together"
Don't forget to mention that I got my shit together

If you don't want me at my goodnight (If you don't want me)
Then you can't have me at my morning glory (At my glory)
At my morning glory
And if you don't want me at my goodnight (You don't want me at my goodnight)
Then it's gon' be goodbye (Bye, bye, bye-bye, baby)
Gon' be goodbye

Bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
Bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
Bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
Bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
Bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
Bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye, bye-bye, bye-bye

Feels lyrics - Kehlani

I ask myself, "Is this shit real?"
I contemplate 'bout how I feel
But you make it way too hard to think
That this could be what true love is

I don't want wait another minute for ya
Oh, you got me falling from the ceiling for ya
Knew right from the start there was no limit to ya
And now I'm catching feelings, baby

You give me feels and I
Know that it, know that it, know that it's real
You give me, you give me feels
You give me feels and I
Know that it, know that it, know that it's real
You give me, you give me feels

It took a lot of hard shit just to learn
How not to break down and stop, baby
No matter what I seen in the past
I won't let it impact how we grow now, baby
I can't let it slip away or drift away
Can't go to waste, go to waste, uh
I say it straight, straight to your face
Won't contemplate, yeah, contemplate that, baby

I don't want wait another minute for ya (No no)
Oh, you got me falling from the ceiling for ya (Oh yeah)
Knew right from the start there was no limit for me
And now I'm catching feelings, baby

You give me feels and I (You give)
Know that it, know that it, know that it's real (That it's real)
You give me, you give me feels (Feels)
You give me feels and I
Know that it, know that it, know that it's real
You give me, you give me feels (Oh)

You give me feels (You give me feels)
You give me feels, you give me feels (Feels)
You give me feels (You, you, you, you, you, you, uh)
You give me feels, you give me feels (Feels)

You give me feels and I (Oh)
Know that it, know that it, know that it's real (That it's real)
You give me, you give me feels
You give me feels and I
Know that it, know that it, know that it's real (Know that it's real)
You give me, you give me feels (Oh)
You give me feels

Nights Like This lyrics - Kehlani (feat. Ty Dolla $ign)

[Kehlani:]
You act like you need remindin'
Tryna do it over, bring it back and rewind it
But all that glitters isn't gold, I was blinded
Should have never gave you my heart on consignment

And I can't believe the lies that I went for
Thought you was mine, but you decided to be with him though
You took my feelings and just threw 'em out the window
Feel like it's too hard to fall in love again, no

On some nights like this, shawty, I can't help but think of us
I've been reminiscin', sippin', missin' ya
Can you tell me what's with all this distant love?
If I called, would you pick it up?
On some nights like this, I just wanna text you, but for what?
You gon' say you want me, then go switch it up
Just gon' play with my emotions just because, no (Oh)

All them times I played the fool for you
Thinkin' we could put it back together, thought we had forever
You never see my point of view
Our connection is so severed, you don't show no effort

And I can't believe the lies that I went for
Thought you was mine, but you decided to be with him though
You took my feelings and just threw 'em out the window
Feel like it's too hard to fall in love again, no

On some nights like this, shawty, I can't help but think of us
I've been reminiscin', sippin', missin' ya
Can you tell me what's with all this distant love?
If I called, would you pick it up?
On some nights like this, I just wanna text you, but for what?
You gon' say you want me, then go switch it up
Just gon' play with my emotions just because, no (Oh)

You gon' get my hopes high, girl
You gon' get my hopes high, girl
Just gon' tell me more lies, girl
Just gon' get my hopes high, girl

[Ty Dolla $ign:]
I've been way too good to you, you take me for granted
You was my day one since back at Big B's house on Adams
First day that we met, I flagged you down, I told you, "Hit my line"
Used to promise me you'd never switch on me like Gemini
You think I'm a fool, ain't nobody stupid
I see all the signs, I see all the clues
Yeah, sometimes I reminisce 'bout that shit when I'm bingin'
Can't believe it's been a whole year, yeah, but...

[Kehlani & Ty Dolla $ign:]
On some nights like this, shawty, I can't help but think of us
I've been reminiscin', sippin', missin' ya (Missin' ya)
Can you tell me what's with all this distant love? (Love)
If I called, would you pick it up?
On some nights like this, I just wanna text you, but for what?
You gon' say you want me, then go switch it up (Switch it up)
Just gon' play with my emotions just because, no (Oh)

[Kehlani:]
You gon' get my hopes high, girl
You gon' get my hopes high, girl
Just gon' tell me more lies, girl
Just gon' get my hopes high, girl

RPG lyrics - Kehlani (feat. 6LACK)

[Kehlani:]
You told me I'm beautiful
'Cause I told you you don't tell me enough
You're lying next to me
'Cause I told you you don't touch me enough
Now you told me you'd stay with me
'Cause I told you you've been working too much
You told me you care for me
'Cause I told you you don't show me your love

Show me your love, show me your love
Show me your love, show me your love
Show me your love, show me your love
Show me your love, show me your love
Show me your love, show me your love

Don't you think that we're too old to play your game?
And we ain't go through all of this to stay the same
But you can pick a player just so I can get my way (Way, way)
And I think you do this 'cause you realise I won't wait (Wait, wait)
I see right through every look in your eyes
I hear right through every fairytale lie
Won't say a word, but the stories you write
They tell me enough

And you told me I'm beautiful
'Cause I told you you don't tell me enough
You're lying next to me
'Cause I told you you don't touch me enough
Now you told me you stay with me
'Cause I told you you've been working too much
You told me you care for me
'Cause I told you you don't show me your love

Show me your love, show me your love
Show me your love (Show you love), show me your love
Show me your love, show me your love (Show you love)
Show me your love, show me your love (Show you love)
Show me your love (Show, show)

[6LACK:]
I don't wanna make you think
That I'm sayin' things 'cause you prompted me
Been working with a lag, a fucked up past
I want you to be proud of me
It seems like day one, you was fond of me
Same shit I felt for you
Then I fell for you, fell in love
It's embarrassing to tell the truth
But now it's to the point where my love is up for debating
Maybe it's too late to say
I think love is on you, think love is spoken
And we both comin' from the same place
For every song that I write is a note to self
Note to God, note to you
Don't count me out
Besides this and my daughter, I only got love for you
I've been suppressed, I ain't the best
Roll up the problems, smoke all the stress
We got wait too much shit on the line
But you can't see 'em, posers got you blind
Past life regression, lifetime lessons, carryin' a message
Real life angels, battlin' depression

[Kehlani & 6LACK:]
Show me your love, show me your love (Show you love)
Show me your love, show me your love
Show me your love, show me your love (Show you love)
Show me your love, show me your love
Show me your love (Show you love)
Show me your love (Show, show)
Show me your love, show me your love (Show you love)
Show me your love, show me your love
Show me your love, show me your love (Show you love)
Show me your love, show me your love
Show me your love (Show you love)
Show me your love (Show, show)

Butterfly lyrics - Kehlani

Know we're scared of us, what this might become
Ain't no goin' back no more, no more
We're in the same bed, cannot lay awake
Let's fill up this space with us

Butterfly, yeah, yeah
You make me feel brand new

Oh, I feel it comin', got a rush like I'm runnin'
No, don't go lookin' for somethin'
Oh, I feel it comin', got a rush like I'm runnin'
No, don't go lookin' for somethin'

Oh, oh, oh...

So you seem to think you're invisible
You're so far from silhouette
You tell on yourself between every word
And leave all this room for me

Butterfly, yeah
I miss feelin' for you

Oh, I feel it comin', got a rush like I'm runnin'
No, don't go lookin' for somethin'
Oh, I feel it comin', got a rush like I'm runnin'
No, don't go lookin' for somethin'

You speak in dictionaries while fearing less than over understand
Virgo moon, I'm so used to your dance
Tongue too swole to comprehend
I see you duck and dodge at every bend
Afraid to play your card, be forced to show your hand
I hope you take from this that it'll make you no less of a man
To break your walls and simply grab my hand
Love shouldn't be contraband
It shouldn't treble on your confidence
Shouldn't be seen as less than compliments

Love Language lyrics - Kehlani

A lot of ways to love you
Teach me through your eyes
What is needed for you
Needed in your life
Don't wanna go shopping
You want picnics in the park
Do you like mornings
Should we do it in the dark

It's all foreign to me, I don't speak what you speak
I'll commit to learning if you, if you
You're a sweet fantasy, singing your ABC's
Please be patient with me, will you

Said I wanna be fluent in your love language
Learning your love language
I know I don't speak your language
But I wanna know more, baby
Fluent in your love language
Learning your love language
I know I don't speak your language
But I wanna know more, baby

Never wanna get lost in translation
Never wanna be on two separate pages
Swear to me that you'll state facts
If you can take back, know I can take that
I been working at it, hoping that you'd notice
I been waiting, I just needed you to focus
Swear to me that you'll show me
Need you to coach me, then we can proceed

And still
It's all foreign to me, I don't speak what you speak
I'll commit to learning if you, if you
You're a sweet fantasy, singing your ABC's
Please be patient with me, will you

Said I wanna be fluent in your love language
Learning your love language
I know I don't speak your language
But I wanna know more, baby
Fluent in your love language
Learning your love language
I know I don't speak your language
But I wanna know more, baby

Said I wanna be fluent in your love language
Learning your love language
I know I don't speak your language
But I wanna know more, baby
Fluent in your love language
Learning your love language
I know I don't speak your language
But I wanna know more, baby
