PERSONAL
Kehlani Lyrics

They sleeping, they sleeping, they sleeping, they sleeping on me
People are underestimating me, but I won't waste my time trying to prove my worth.

But I don't waste my time tryna prove that I'm something to see, oh I
I won't waste time trying to prove myself to people who don't matter.

The real ones they know and the ones that do not I don't need
The people who truly know me and believe in me are the only ones I need.

'Cause most see the vision and I give reasons to believe
Most people can see my potential because I have given them reasons to believe in me.

That I'm honest, I'm honest, I'm telling no lies
I am honest and sincere; everything I say is true.

When I say I'm up next I'm not just for the ride
When I say I'm the next big thing, it's not just empty words.

Never a point when I questioned my mind
I have never doubted my abilities.

Know what I'm doing, I pay for this time
I have a clear plan and I am willing to work hard for my success.

Come up regardless, I'm comin regardless
I am determined to succeed, no matter what obstacles I face.

I'm hungry, I'm starving, remaining a topic
I am driven to succeed and will continue to be a topic of conversation.

Never an option, got your undivided whenever I'm plotting
I am always focused on my goals and have the full attention of those around me when I am planning my next move.

Don't take it personal, personal, personal
Don't be offended by what I'm saying.

I know it hurts to know, hurts to know, hurts to know
I understand that the truth can be painful.

I know that you hear this and you gon' just know that I'm speaking to you
You know I'm talking about you when you hear this.

Shouldn't have got so ahead of yourself now you're losing your cool
You shouldn't have been so cocky, and now you're getting upset because of it.

I know that you know that I'm right, you admit it that I am the truth
You know I'm right and that I speak the truth.

But look you at you now, look at your face, looking sad in the booth
You're regretting your actions and feeling sorry for yourself.

Signed off a tape, chewed off a tape, did it alone, and I ain't touched a plate
I put in the hard work and effort, did everything myself, and haven't seen the rewards yet.

You was my nigga, we could have been great
We were close friends and had potential for success together.

You so far gone, got you thinking you're safe
You're so far removed from reality that you believe you're invincible.

All said and done you lost my respect
I no longer have any respect for you.

All said and done you're the one I regret
I regret ever being associated with you.

Now you gon' watch from the crowd lookin' up like the rest
You're going to be just another spectator, watching from the sidelines like everyone else.

No I could never judge anyone I loved
I could never judge someone I care about.

Even if you lose sight of all the things I've done
Even if you forget everything I've accomplished.

I'm not who I once was
I've grown and changed since we last spoke.

These days I'm all grown up
I'm more mature now and have a better understanding of the world.

I got good heart, good soul, good sex, no stress
I have a kind and caring personality, a strong sense of self and confidence, and no worries or mental burdens.

Next for me is best
I believe my future is bright and full of potential.

Don't you run your mouth
Don't go spreading rumors or talking behind my back.

'Cause in this song I say it best
I express myself better in my music than in person.
