Kehlani - Runnin'

Copied!

{Verse}
You saw right through every last bit of me
I should've known it from your energy
We've got this synergy, your soul feels 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 feel 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 can 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
Go put back on the crown, stop makin' us look so stupid
Not worried about these niggas
Unless it's you then 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'

{Outro}
If she can keep it all 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'

Biography

edit bio

Oakland R&B singer Kehlani Parrish, better known as just Kehlani, first found fame on America’s Got Talent in 2011. Her group Poplyfe reached the final, losing to Landau Murphy.

Kehlani left Poplyfe after the show, but her solo career stalled for contractual reasons. She finally released her début solo project, Cloud 19, in 2014. A breezy, poppy mixtape, Cloud 19 flew largely under the radar, although Complex described it as “outstanding.”

2015 was Kehlani’s break-out year. Her sophomore mixtape, You Should Be Here, featured Chance The Rapper and BJ The Chicago Kid. It earned her national attention and even a Grammy nomination for Best Urban Contemporary, although it ultimately lost out to Beauty Behind the Madness by The Weeknd.

Shortly after receiving her Grammy nomination, Kehlani began work on her third solo project, and debut studio album. SweetSexySavage was released on the 27th of January 2017.

To hold fans up for her next album, as well as the birth of her child, she released third mixtape While We Wait on February 22nd, 2019.

On May 8, 2020, she released her sophomore album It Was Good Until It Wasn’t.
