[Intro]
Now let's-a-go
[Verse 1]
Uh and no more could I award you
And we can blow to any place you can deploy to
See, I want you on my team like Floyd do
[And now we ears, real chin like the miss?]
Even the little funny get referred as little Gs
Countin' a little money, takin' turns and handle biz
Watchin' the tide roll, seein' the time slow
But none of it could measure up to where we might go
Sayin' she mine, gettin' a little shy
Everything is better with time like wine
Couldn't believe that we didn't meet quicker
Latin veins and she say I'm that nigga
Can't even fuss, 'cause we know the time is limited
Mimickin' these niggas on the screen that we livin' in
Now let's ride until we enter into cypher
And can somebody please pay the Pied Piper?
[Chorus: Kehlani]
I know actions speak louder than words, baby
And my heart's always assumin' the worst, baby
'Cause you see, in real life
The history is real fright
If your love is sealed tight
'Cause I could be your world, baby
[Interlude]
So that's for the women? Uh
[Verse 2]
To my other gender, do you remember
Givin' me the tender back in November?
I know we tend to dial in, talk for a while, then stop
But you're still on my mind, like style and guap
Still pullin' on my strings like a violin shop
So we might be meant to be in this century, but who knows?
Still remember when you wrote your number down like sudo
Thought I had you bagged up like I took it to go
But don't believe them stereotypes
If you look into my eyes, we might be very alike
She got speakers in her room, she's the stereo type
And when that makeup come off, she ain't scary at night, uh
I'm a fool for the haze in your lungs
I am that fool that's makin' you numb
I'm a fool for her smile and the pain that she brung
She could be the one that's adjacent to none, like
[Chorus: Kehlani]
I know actions speak louder than words, baby
And my heart's always assumin' the worst, baby
'Cause you see, in real life
The history is real fright
If your love is sealed tight
'Cause I could be your world, baby
[Interlude]
Stability is for the horses
[Verse 3]
Sometimes in my brain
I rearrange the letters on the page to spell your name
Raise my shades to admire your frame
Funny 'cause she got it and she know it, sure thang
Shorty destroyin' [the course stores to shame?]
Only entertained with her boytoys and 'caine
I changed your last name
Coach takin' players out the game
Can't part ways with them lipstick stains
Thick hip swang, skip clichés
We ain't gotta stay, we can dip [Miss Thang?]
Handle business, baby got gifts like Christmas
Me and my mistress float like [Memphis?]
And mommy told you not to fuck musicicans, as if you'd listen
You're a big girl, these are your decisions, I'm not trippin'
One of you get it, tell her name business
[Chorus: Kehlani]
I know actions speak louder than words, baby
And my heart's always assumin' the worst, baby
'Cause you see, in real life
The history is real fright
If your love is sealed tight
'Cause I could be your world, baby
