Kehlani Lyrics

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Do U Dirty lyrics - Kehlani

Next nigga to fuck with me gon' be stuck with me with his stuck ass. Bitch. What, look. Hold up, l-l-look, no time. Okay?

I, I, I, I

Up for hours drinking

Posted up, just reflecting on it

And I know you won't believe me

But babe, I'm cold and yeah, this life is cold

I say swear you won't come near me

Keep your heart 'cause I could fuck you up

Or have you never thinking clearly

Never thinking clearly

Have you all up in your feelings

Experienced, I did it times before

And I can see you from a distance

I could fuck you now and years later on

You gon' be stuck, just reminiscing

It's the way I ride you, let you stay inside

Yeah, I'mma fuck you like a vixen

There's something 'bout me

Swear you see the good in me

But that don't beat the hood in me

And I got my intentions and yours,

Yours are make believe

'Cause baby, I know, baby, I know

I, I'mma do you dirty

Say you love me now,

But, baby, it's too early

I, I'mma do you dirty

You think you love me now, I think you should be worried

Up for days, been rolling

Sweating bullets, don't regret the choices

That I made 'cause I'm still growing

Sign the deal and then they cut the check

And ever since, my color's showing

Change the scene, the things are better now

You know the wave is never slowing

The wave is never slowing

I know that you will miss me

You liked it when I used to leave a wound

And promise I would come and kiss it

I fed you lies and you just ate 'em up

And I don't care to do the dishes

I ain't no wifey, ain't gon' hold you down

It's way more fun to be the mistress

I know I'm not like other bitches

Swear you see the good in me

But that don't beat the hood in me

And I got my intentions and yours,

Yours are make believe

'Cause baby, I know, baby, I know

I, I'mma do you dirty

Say you love me now,

But, baby, it's too early

I, I'mma do you dirty

You think you love me now, I think you should be worried

You want all my time but I don't got enough

Baby, I can put it down but I can't put it up

I got too much life to live, well I'm still way too young

I'm still way too young, yeah

I'mma do you dirty, I, I'mma do you dirty

Say you love me now,

But, baby, it's too early

I, I'mma do you dirty

You think you love me now, I think you should be worried

Escape lyrics - Kehlani

Never did I think I'd want you

Always seen you 'round my way

Never had the strength to tell you

I kinda, sorta think you're great

Strange for me to wanna love someone who's better by themselves

Hate to know I made you crazy for myself

'Cause I don't want you thinking that my love's in vain

'Cause, baby, I've been falling for you but falling back up out your way

'Cause I can't let you lose yourself looking for me

And I can't let you make me your, your everything

I just wanna be an escape

Baby, can we escape, escape, escape?

Admiring you from a distance

Scared to go and make a move

Didn't wanna be distracting

You be all up in your groove

It's strange for me to wanna love someone who's raw all by themselves

I'd hate for you to search for someone else

'Cause I don't want you thinking that my love's in vain

Baby, I've been falling for you but falling up on out your way

'Cause I can't let you lose yourself looking for me

And I can't let you make me your, your everything

I just wanna be an escape

Baby, can we escape, escape, escape?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, aye, aye

'Cause I've been staying low, holding back

Fighting the feelings that you've been giving

And I've been trying to put it all into words

But I can't so I'm singing

I don't want you thinking that my love's in vain

Baby, I've been falling for you but falling back up out your way

'Cause I can't let you lose yourself looking for me

And I can't let you make me your, your everything

I just wanna be an escape

Baby, can we escape, escape, escape?

Too Much lyrics - Kehlani

I know I'm not what you need

Baby, why you trying? Come over and comfort me

Ain't no sense in lying, do you deserve it honestly?

We could just part ways, find out our own destiny

Baby, baby, baby

You know I'm more than just a girl

That you can meet walking down the street

I think you know that I'm the one

That you want in your company

I'm too much of a woman

Too much of a woman

Too much of a bad ass bitch

Too much of a boss, baby, it's your loss

Now you gotta live with it

Too much, three much

Four much, five much, too much for you

Too much, three much

Four much, five much, too much for you

(Too much, too much, too much for you, yeah)

There ain't really nothing left

Baby, that's a promise, you were fucking with the best

Something I will say, that I might just miss your sex

That don't mean I want you, you can go and stay my ex

Baby, baby, baby

You know I'm more than just a girl

That you can meet walking down the street

I think you know that I'm the one

That you want in your company

I'm too much of a woman

Too much of a woman

Too much of a bad ass bitch

Too much of a boss, baby, it's your loss

Now you gotta live with it

Too much, three much

Four much, five much, too much for you

Too much, three much

Four much, five much, too much for you

You told me you love me, I told you I wanna see it

You told me it's mine and I could have it when I pleases

Every night we sexing, you wearing your Jesus pieces

Like Jesus Christ himself gon' save a nigga from misleading

I want you to know that I meant that, gotta know that I sent that

Text in the middle of the night

To tell your ass how to fuck that flight

'Cause I can't sit at home on your couch

Listening to word of mouth 'bout how you been out

And about fucking hoes, playing out

('Cause) I'm too much of a woman

Too much of a woman (too much)

Too much of a bad ass bitch

Too much of a boss, baby, it's your loss

Now you gotta live with it

Too much, three much

Four much, five much, too much for you

Too much, three much

Four much, five much, too much for you

Too much, too much for you, baby, yeah

Too much, too much, no

Too much, too much for you

Get Like lyrics - Kehlani

The only person in the whole world

Ever?

Ever

I don't like when I catch them out the corner of their, of their eyes

Look all hypnotized

I don't mind when I catch you stare me all the way down in my thighs

Makes me realize

That I'm shy and just a little awkward

But you bring it out of me, out of me

'Cause...

You're the only one that I get like

Get like this for

You're the only one that I get like

Get like this for

Ain't nobody else make me feel like

You're the only one that I feel like

Feel like this for

You're the only one that I get like

Get like this for

I confess, after we get down we always leave a mess

Don't wanna get dressed

We get loud, don't think anyone can make me make a sound

Know that make you proud

'Cause I'm shy and just a little awkward

But you bring it out of me, out of me

'Cause...

You're the only one that I get like

Get like this for

You're the only one that I get like

Get like this for

Ain't nobody else make me feel like

You're the only one that I feel like

Feel like this for

You're the only one that I get like

Get like this for

All you, all yours, it's yours, it's yours (It's yours)

All you, all yours, I'm sure, it's yours (It's yours)

All you, all yours, it's yours, it's yours (It's yours)

All you, all yours, I'm sure, it's yours (It's yours)

You're the only one that I get like

Get like this for

You're the only one that I get like

Get like this for

Ain't nobody else make me feel like

You're the only one that I feel like

Feel like this for

You're the only one that I get like

Get like this for

In My Feelings lyrics - Kehlani

Are you putting her on your thing?

Oh my God, I'm gonna, it's gonna be like TMZ Kehlani TMZ [*laughs*]

And then he's gonna be suing me for slander [*laughs*]

If it isn't love

Why do I feel this way?

Why you got me so obsessed with you?

Why you got me wasting time laying next to you?

Why do you tell me "Come over" to watch you just stare at your phone?

Don't know why I expected you to give me attention, affection and love.

You're like a drug, never enough

Can't take you high, need a new plug

You got me bent, got me way too messed up

And I don't know why I'm even still here

Can't shake it off, I've been here for years on top of years

And I, I'm ready to, I'm ready to be off of you

'Cause I admit that baby I, I just may be stuck on you

If it isn't love

Why do I pick up my phone every time that you call?

Why do I feel this way?

Why do I feel this, feel this way?

I'm in my feelings

If it isn't love

Why do I let you give me half then give you my all?

Why do I feel this way?

Why do I do this? Feel this way?

I'm in my feelings

No! Uh-uh, whoa. Uh-uh, yeah. Uh-uh, whoa.

In my feelings

No! Uh-uh, whoa. Uh-uh, yeah. Uh-uh, whoa.

In my feelings

Why you be doing me scandalous?

You just assume that I'm strong and can handle it

Why do you make me feel like I'm less than my worth

And it won't be for long, I ain't having it

You don't do the shit that you said would be done

You find it fun to feel shit and run

Love like a gun, it leaves me stunned

Out on the floor and I just can't get up

And I don't know why I'm even still here

Can't shake it off, I've been here for years on top of years

And I, I'm ready to, I'm ready to be off of you

'Cause I admit that baby I, I just may be stuck on you

If it isn't love

Why do I pick up my phone every time that you call?

Why do I feel this way?

Why do I feel this? Feel this way?

I'm in my feelings

If it isn't love

Why do I let you give me half then give you my all?

Why do I feel this way?

Why do I do this? Feel this way?

I'm in my feelings

No! Uh-uh, whoa. Uh-uh, yeah. Uh-uh, whoa.

In my feelings

No! Uh-uh, whoa. Uh-uh, yeah. Uh-uh, whoa.

In my feelings

Oh, why, why do I, why do I feel this way?

Why am I still this way?

Why after all these times you still play all these games?

Why after all these nights I still give you all my days?

And I don't know why I'm even still here

Can't shake it off, I've been here for years on top of years

And I, I'm ready to, I'm ready to be off of you

'Cause I admit that baby I, I just may be stuck on you

I just may be stuck on you

If it isn't love

Why do I pick up my phone every time that you call?

Every time that you call, whoa.

Why do I feel this, feel this?

I'm in my feelings. Feel this

Why do I let you give me half then give you my all?

Give you my all, oh-oh

Why do I do this? Feel this way?

I'm in my feelings

No! Uh-uh, whoa. Uh-uh, yeah. Uh-uh, whoa.

In my feelings

No! Uh-uh, whoa. Uh-uh, yeah. Uh-uh, whoa.

Hold Me By The Heart lyrics - Kehlani

Wasn't sure I'd be alright

Wasn't sure I'd be okay again

Didn't know how to take flight

Wings broken couldn't seem to bend

Somehow you came and like the wind, you picked me up for good

And now I know what I have missed, I've been thinking that you should

Pick up the pieces

Help me learn to stand

Lift me from the ground and use your hands

To hold me by the heart

Tell me I'll be whole again

Hold me by the heart

Tell me it will never end

'Cause I've begun to think that

I was nothing short of broken

So baby, hold me by the heart (hold me by the heart)

Help me fly again

Always read all the fairytales

Always knew that it would come

Through the pain I convinced myself

"It's only magical for some"

Somehow you came and like a prince and picked me up for good

And now I know what I have missed, I'm thinking that you should

Just pick up the pieces

Help me learn to stand

Lift me from the ground and use your hands

To hold me by the heart

Tell me I'll be whole again

And hold me by the heart

Tell me it will never end

'Cause I've begun to think that

I was nothing short of broken

So baby, hold me by the heart (hold me by the heart)

Help me fly again

(Pick up the pieces)

(Help me learn to stand) Help me learn to stand

(Lift me from the ground and)

(Use your hands) Use your hands

(Pick up the pieces) Hey

(Help me learn to stand) Help me learn to stand

(Lift me from the ground and)

(Use your hands) Use your hands

Use your hands

(Hold me by the heart)

(Hold me by the heart) Hold me by the heart

Tell me it would never end

'Cause I've begun to think that

I was nothing short of broken

So hold me by the heart

Help me fly again

Thank You lyrics - Kehlani

I never said that I had it all figured it out

I never said, I never said that I live my days without doubt

I swear all I've ever done is be honest and stay modest

So this is a, sincere, unscripted

Unwritten for all that you've given

Forgiving, I'm driven

I wanna be better than I was better than I am

So I say

All I'm trying to say is I thank you

I thank you

All I'm trying to say is I thank you

I thank you

All I'm trying to say is I thank you

I never said that I was done with my growth

I never said, I never said that I was done doing the most

And I swear all I've ever done was stay honest and keep my promise

So here goes my real life, unscripted

Unwritten for all that you've given

Forgiving, I'm driven

I wanna be better than I was, greater than I am

So I say

All I gotta say is I thank you

Thank you

All I gotta say is I thank you

Thank you

(Hey) Thank you for watching me walk across the stage

For walking me through my heartbreaks

Thanks for the love every step of the way

With no support this wouldn't be as great

Thank you for making me stronger than most

For taking it beyond my coast

Thank you for raising a glass when I toast

All I gotta say is I thank you

Thank you

All I gotta say is I thank you

Thank you

All I gotta say is I thank you

All I gotta say

Thank you

All I gotta say is I thank you

Gangsta lyrics - Kehlani

(Suicide Squad soundtrack)

I need a gangsta

To love me better

Than all the others do

To always forgive me

Ride or die with me

That's just what gangsters do

I'm fucked up, I'm black and blue

I'm built for all the abuse

I got secrets that nobody, nobody, nobody knows

I'm good on that pussy shit

I don't want what I can get

I want someone with secrets that nobody, nobody, nobody knows

I need a gangsta

To love me better

Than all the others do

To always forgive me

Ride or die with me

That's just what gangsters do

My freakness is on the loose

And running all over you

Please, take me to places that nobody, nobody knows

You got me hooked up on the feeling

You got me hanging from the ceiling

Got me up so high I'm barely breathing

So don't let me, don't let me, don't let me, don't let me go

I need a gangsta (gangsta gangsta)

To love me better (love me, love me better better, baby)

Than all the others do (they do, they do, they do, oh, oh, oh)

To always forgive me (always forgive me)

Ride or die with me (ride or die with me)

That's just what gangsters do (do, oh)

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

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

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

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'

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

[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

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

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

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

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)

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
