Kid Ink Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's Kid Ink, yeah yeah

It's not that a lot that you've been saying, whoa
But I can tell from your body language, ok
Let's talk about it ('Bout it)
Is you 'bout it? ('Bout it)
Let's talk about it ('Bout it)
Can we talk about it?

But you ain't gotta say too much
Ain't gotta say too much
I can read your body language
You ain't gotta say too much
I can read your body language

Said you ain't gotta say too much
Hate when you say that I play too much
When I get too close I'mma touch that subject
I can read yo' body 'nough said
Quit all that yappin'
Need less talk and a little more action
Yeah now girl keep it G, know you speak a lil freak
I can hear it in yo' accent
Said, "Tell me, can you understand my language?"
If you tryna ride, just stay in my lane
There's no other way to explain it
In layman, fuck who you came with

It's not that a lot that you've been saying, whoa
But I can tell from your body language, ok
Let's talk about it ('Bout it)
Is you 'bout it? ('Bout it)
Let's talk about it ('Bout it)
Can we talk about it?

But you ain't gotta say too much
Ain't gotta say too much
I can read your body language
You ain't gotta say too much
I can read your body language

It ain't hard to tell
If you don't wanna take it too far, then well
You better stop flirtin' and stop twerkin'
So perfect, cause it's workin'
That ass worth all the worship
You been in yo' bag like Birkin
Never had it like this before me
You ain't know girl better read up on it
Hell yeah, gotta re-up on me
Bein' stuck up gon' leave you lonely
For the night, we should leave before the light's
On, girl, I'm too on

It's not that a lot that you've been saying, whoa
But I can tell from your body language, ok
Let's talk about it ('Bout it)
Is you 'bout it? ('Bout it)
Let's talk about it ('Bout it)
Can we talk about it?

But you ain't gotta say too much
Ain't gotta say too much
I can read your body language
You ain't gotta say too much

Ooh, they say don't judge a book by its cover
We can make a scene that you be under the covers
Listen ou ain't gotta say too much
You ain't gotta say too much
(You ain't gotta say much, you ain't gotta say much)
Body talkin', girl I'm listenin'
Come closer, let me hit it

It's not that a lot that you've been saying, whoa
But I can tell from your body language, ok
Let's talk about it ('Bout it)
Is you 'bout it? ('Bout it)
Let's talk about it ('Bout it)
Can we talk about it?

But you ain't gotta say too much
Ain't gotta say too much
I can read your body language




You ain't gotta say too much
I can read your body language

Overall Meaning

The song "Body Language" by Kid Ink featuring Usher and Tinashe is a song about reading someone's body language to determine if they're interested in pursuing a physical relationship. The first verse talks about how the singer can tell from the subject's body language that they're interested in "talking about it," which is a euphemism for sexual activity. The singer tells the subject that they don't have to say too much, as their body language is enough to communicate their intentions. The second verse hints at the subject being a little hesitant to take things too far, and the singer urges them to stop flirting and twerking if they're not really interested. The bridge talks about how the singer is listening to the subject's body talk and wants to get physical with them.


The song is a prime example of the use of euphemisms in popular music. The lyrics don't directly talk about sex, but instead use phrases like "talking about it" and "reading your body language" to hint at the subject matter. It's also notable for its use of a classic R&B sound, as well as the guest vocals of Usher, who was a major influence on Kid Ink's music.

Lol is Tinashe not insulted that she was surrounded by girls flaunting their asses? Guess she doesn't care. But is she at least insulted that she didn't get a verse? Her voice is capable of far more than what she was given to sing. I bet she's grateful for any part in this song, but she could do so much more...

@johnsongirl602

Ditto

@SuchLovelyPoison

I think shes just grateful for the exposure. She is capable of a lot more and everyone knows it. But the whole thing in the entertainment industry is getting people to know your name. The more features she does the bigger her name gets. #onestepatatime  

@SIRGAGA123

My sentiments exactly, she was slumming it with this video and settling for less with the song. She's so much better than all of this & she's the only reason why I watched/listened tbh. I think the women that last long in the industry are those who put their for down and stand for something which is a shame because she has incredible energy and she's very talented

@JYMBO

shes all over the chorus if you listen properly, doing most of ushers harmonies too

@corderojohnson9686

She aint gotta say 2much
