Gangsta
Kehlani Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 it, 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)
Ride or die with me (ride or die with me)
That's just what gangsters do (do)
In Kehlani's song Gangsta, she sings about her desire for a gangsta in her life who can love her better than anyone else can. She wants someone who will always forgive her and be there for her, no matter what - this is essentially what gangsters do. The song is about how she is broken, both physically and emotionally, and she needs someone who can handle her and her secrets. Kehlani talks about how she doesn't want someone who is after her for sex or something they can get from her, she wants someone with secrets of their own, someone who can relate to her.
The lyrics also talk about Kehlani's "freakness", which she says is on the loose and running all over whoever she's with. She wants someone who can handle her wild side and take her to places where nobody knows them. Kehlani is also very drawn to the person she sings about in the song, saying they have her hooked on a feeling and she's barely breathing because of them. The song ends with Kehlani reiterating her desire for a gangster to love her better than anyone else can.
