the way
Kehlani ft Chance The Rapper Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I still didn't believe

You so damn important
Everything you do shows me you know it
Behind it all you are the motive
Donโ€™t tell you enough, but baby I'll show it, show it
He say he the king where he come from
Take a young queen just to know one
So, baby, Iโ€™mma drive it like itโ€™s stolen
Iโ€™mma fix it like itโ€™s broken
We could catch a flight out to London
Go to the mall, spend a lump sum
They could try to catch up to us
But theyโ€™re too busy making assumptions

Boy you know all I do
Is stay up all night losing sleep over you
All I do
Is drive myself crazy thinkin' 'bout my baby

Itโ€™s the way you walk, the way you talk, babe
Itโ€™s the way you love, the way you fuck, the way
Itโ€™s the way you are, you're a star, babe
Itโ€™s the way you, itโ€™s the way you

She said I ainโ€™t even make my bed up
Watch your step, you gonโ€™ wake my mama and dad up
Pssh, girl, didnโ€™t I tell you at the damn club?
We gonโ€™ wake your neighbors
Turn your block club to my fan club
And that happen so fast
Damn, I'm glad I strapped up
Ask her when she finish, if she came
She said I lapped ya, twice
Run it back for the door, rematch
Flip the crib when we fuck, Remax
It get hot than a mug, glass cup
You can ask her if I fuck, she gassed, huh
I gotta keep it a secret, I keep a key in my lower pocket
Inside a register below the lower octave
Dirty laundry in my closet, they be strung out on the street
Left to dry with drawers, sheets and no deposit
But I donโ€™t gotta worry, put my hand on your mouth
Put my hands in your mouth, girl
We got plans at my house, you know the way up

Itโ€™s the way you walk, the way you talk, babe
Itโ€™s the way you love, the way you fuck, the way
Itโ€™s the way you are, you're a star, babe
Itโ€™s the way you, itโ€™s the way you

This thing we got is crazy
Only thing I know is youโ€™re my baby
Forever down, I am your lady
Always for sure, never a maybe
Never met someone who spoke my language
Never met a nigga done with playinโ€™
You the type of nigga make me lane switch
Hand me the brush and say "paint it"
Give me your heart and I hold it
Show me your soul and I'll mould it
Baby boy, you gotta be the dopest
Gotta be to fuck with the coldest

Boy you know all I do
Is stay up all night losing sleep over you
All I do
Is drive myself crazy thinkin' 'bout my baby

Itโ€™s the way you walk, the way you talk, babe
Itโ€™s the way you love, the way you fuck, the way




Itโ€™s the way you are, you're a star, babe
Itโ€™s the way you, itโ€™s the way you

Overall Meaning

The Way by Kehlani ft. Chance The Rapper is a beautiful love song that celebrates the beauty of a partner. The song begins with Kehlani admitting that she didn't believe in love until she met her partner who she believes is important to her. She says that everything her partner does shows that they know they are important, and that behind everything they do, they are the reason she is motivated. She knows that she doesn't tell her partner enough how important they are, but promises to show them instead. Although there might be others who try to catch up to them, they are too busy making assumptions. The second verse is from Chance The Rapper's perspective, as he adds his own take on how much he loves and appreciates his partner. He says that their relationship is so strong that they make each other's families aware of their presence. He describes how they are both passionate lovers and how he loves to think about the future they will have together. No matter what challenges they face, they are stronger together.


The chorus is a repetition of how much they love and appreciate their partner. It's not just the way they walk, talk, love, or make love that they love about them, but it's everything about them that they love. The song ends with Kehlani telling her partner that she's never met someone who spoke her language before and that her partner is the only person she knows who is done playing around. He is loyal and makes her feel special, and she feels lucky to have him in her life.
