Ransom
SAINt JHN 6lack Kehlani Lyrics

Told lee he'd be a millionaire
I promised my friend Lee that he would become a millionaire.

Holidays in California, quite strange
Being in California for the holidays is unusual for me.

The height change but the sight same
Although the altitude is different, the view remains unchanged.

I'm just adjustin' to the price change
I am adapting to the difference in cost.

The truth is I'm just in a better price range
The reality is that I can now afford more expensive things.

The Saint Laurents and the dice game
I talk about designer fashion and gambling.

That's just fly talk, that's just sky slang
These are just terms used to express a stylish lifestyle.

I'm just ballin', I'm ballin, I'm really ballin'
I'm showing off how wealthy and successful I am.

Strip club like I'm tryna win a Heisman
I'm spending money like I'm trying to win a prestigious college football award.

The applause first, then the spite came
People initially praised me, but later showed resentment.

Tryna kill my pain in the Sprite can
I'm using soda to try to deal with my emotional pain.

The top off in a strange way, I'm tryna fight fame
Although it might seem like I want to be famous, I am actually struggling with the attention that comes with it.

Am I still sharin' my location with you?
Do you still have access to my location information?

Feels like I'm on probation with you
Being in a relationship with you feels like being on probation.

Too hard to have a rotation with you
It's difficult to maintain a consistent relationship with you.

I love you on occasion but you
Sometimes I love you, but you

Fuck it up way too much
You mess things up too often.

You like to fight too much
You have a tendency to argue a lot.

You like to play too rough
You are too aggressive in our interactions.

I like when you're short skirt and your heels
I enjoy it when you dress up in shorter skirts and high heels.

And you're not in your feels
It's better when you are not overly emotional.

I cover the bills
I pay for our expenses.

Oh, what a thrill, what a thrill
This makes me excited and happy.

If you call and I don't reply
If you call me and I don't answer,

And you text and I just don't answer
Or if you text me and I don't respond,

It don't mean that I changed my mind
It doesn't suggest that I've changed my opinion or decision.

It just means that I don't pay ransom
It means I won't be coerced or held hostage.

You walk out and you don't say bye
If you leave without saying goodbye,

And I don't wanna speak out of anger
I don't want to react angrily.

And I won't be held for ransom
I won't allow myself to be held hostage.

I'm too handsome
I am too attractive and successful to allow myself to be controlled or manipulated.

What you say on the way? Time to pray, have faith
What are you discussing during the trip? It's time to pray and have faith.

From the temple, extra ordinary brain, gotta say, ayy
I have enlightened thoughts from my spiritual experiences.

You look so excited, I can tell by your face
You seem really happy, I can see it in your expression.

But to me it's just an ordinary day
But for me, this is a normal day without anything exceptional happening.

You want me to take a vacation with you
You are asking me to go on a trip with you.

You just better hope I stay patient with you
You should hope that I don't get frustrated and impatient with you.

We gon' need some de-escalation, can you talk to me nice?
We need to work on calming down our conflicts, can you communicate with me respectfully and without hostility?

I got you a gift, but you fuck it up too much
I bought you a present, but you tend to ruin things too often.

The situation way too us
The circumstances are too overwhelming for us.

Want peace like deuce up, why your dukes up?
I want to have peace and resolve conflicts, so why are you still being defensive and aggressive?

I'm tryna drown my pain in a fuckin' two cup
I am trying to forget about my emotional pain by drinking alcohol.

Lost too many niggas, I ain't tryna loose touch
I have lost too many friends and acquaintances, and I don't want to lose touch with anyone else.
