She really knows how to knock it out of the park. Dated someone with BPD, saw a lot of pain when she cried. Tried to help but she was at the beginning of learning anything before we left things abruptly. Really hope she’s doing well.

you could be angel babe...
It doesn’t really need an explanation—you know exactly what Kehlani means when she sings. Without sugarcoating or softening a word, the Bay Area-born two-time GRAMMY® Award-nominated multiplatinum songstress will drop a hard truth in one breath and flip a middle finger in the next. She may extend a seductive invitation or an empathetic plea before leaving you in your thoughts and feelings. Either way, she finds a way to consistently relate without filter. With each move, she strengthens this connection to listeners everywhere. Kehlani’s 2015 breakout mixtape You Should Be Here received a 2016 GRAMMY® Award nod in the category of “Best Urban Contemporary Album.” On its heels, her 2017 full-length debut SweetSexySavage bowed at #3 on the Billboard Top 200 and eventually went gold. Between selling out dates on the SweetSexySavage Tour, the record closed out the year on Pitchfork’s “The 50 Best Albums of 2017” and Rolling Stone’s “20 Best R&B Albums of 2017.”
Along the way, she contributed to Suicide Squad: The Album and The Fate of the Furious: The Album and guested on Cardi B’s double-platinum “Ring,” Kyle’s platinum “PLAYINWITME,” and Justin Bieber’s “Get Me,” to name a few. By 2020, she picked up three gold solo singles—"You Should Be Here,” “Honey,” and “Distraction,” for which she received her second GRAMMY® nomination for Best R&B performance. In addition, four platinum singles—“Gangsta,” “The Way” [feat. Chance the Rapper], “CRZY,” and “Nights Like This” [feat. Ty Dolla $ign] and streams in the billions. Not to mention, Billboard Women In Music honored her with the “Rule Breaker Award” as she gathered nominations at the Soul Train Awards and the American Music Awards. Plus, she made show-stopping appearances at Voodoo Music + More, Coachella, and beyond. In the aftermath of 2019’s chart-topping While We Wait mixtape, everything changed. She became a mom. As such, parenthood left an indelible imprint on her second full-length, It Was Good Until It Wasn’t. Out May 8th, It Was Good Until It Wasn’t is described by Kehlani as her most mature body of work, featuring songs based on her own real experiences including recently released “Toxic” and “Everybody Business.” In the end, you’ll know exactly what’s on Kehlani’s mind, heart, and soul on It Was Good Until It Wasn’t.
BORDER
[Verse 1]
You could be an angel, babe
And I wouldn't know it, I wouldn't give a damn, no way
Life has been passin' by, passin' me up
And I'm holdin' on for what it's worth
'Cause all I got is me and my faith (My faith)
That I fall hard, fought to keep down
And it's takin' me far from grounded
But it means somethin' that you're proud
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I fight to stay way too many days
And I drag my feet through too many waves
Bigger than I can swim
Then I start again
[Chorus]
Let's leave California
Maybe I need to cross the border
Away from my demons and disorders
Nothin' can catch us if we're runnin' forward
And maybe everyone here would call me crazy
And then you'd tell 'em it's the borderline
No one can catch me if I'm runnin' forward
[Verse 2]
And my еxes wanna see me in a padded room
But I think I need naturе and a Valium
You saw passed my outbursts and my attitude
So I ain't mad at you, I still ain't mad at you
And if they lock me up would you come visit?
And if they make me stay would you consider stayin'?
And waitin' outside, have you made up your mind?
I'm medicated this time
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I fight to stay way too many days
And I drag my feet through too many waves
Bigger than I can swim
And then I start again
[Chorus]
Let's leave California
Maybe I need to cross a border
Away from my demons and disorders
Nothin' can catch us if we're runnin' forward
And maybe everyone here would call me crazy
And then you'd tell 'em it's the borderline
[Outro]
I left to take care of myself, but you do not get to lie (Nobody fucking understands me, bro, it's excruciating, it's excruciating)
You do not get to turn the thing that saved my life (Don't make it up, I'm tired, I'm so tired)
And saved me from myself, and my explanation for what's been wrong with me my entire life
You do not get to turn that into something for you to use

@vx2oceKehlani is a low information, vacuous, vapid, uneducated fool who supports Hamas and other terror organizations.
@RabbiCashMoneyTerrible song. In a civilized world, people don't listen to an anti-Semitic singer who calls for the murder of Jews.
@1dorque@3:14 favorite part
