Borderline
Solange Lyrics
We been lovers on a mission
We been lovers on a mission (all the way)
But whats love without a mission
We been lovers on a mission (all the way)
So let's take an intermission
You know I have the world to think about
And you know I gotta go ahead and take some time
Because the last thing that I wanna do
Is think that it's time that I leave the boderline
Break it off tonight
Baby let's know when to let go
Know when to let go
Take off tonight
Break it up tonight
Baby I know you're tired
Know I'm tired
Let's take it off tonight
Break it off tonight
Baby it's war outside these walls
Baby it's war outside these doors, yeah
It's safe place tonight
Let's play safe tonight
Baby I know what you're fighting for
Baby you know what I'm fighting for
You know I have the world to think about
And you know I gotta go ahead and take some time
Because the last thing that I wanna do
Is think that it's time that I leave the boderline
So let's take it off tonight
Break it off tonight
Baby let's know when to let go
Know when to let go, oh
Take off tonight
Break it up tonight
Baby I know you're tired
You know I'm tired
Let's take it off tonight
Break it off tonight
Baby I've been more than a woman
We've been lovers on a mission
It's safe place tonight
Let's play it safe tonight
Baby we've been lovers on a mission (all the way)
So let's take an intermission

Read Full BioSolange Piaget Knowles, known mononymously as Solange, is an American singer, songwriter, performance artist and actress. Expressing an interest in music from an early age, Knowles had several temporary stints as a backup dancer for Destiny's Child, which featured her elder sister, Beyoncé Knowles, among its members, before signing with her father Mathew Knowles' Music World Entertainment label. At age 16, Knowles released her first studio album Solo Star (2002). Between 2004 and 2007, Knowles had several minor acting roles, including the direct-to-video Bring It On: All or Nothing (2006) and continued co-writing music for Beyoncé and former Destiny's Child group members Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams.
In 2007, Knowles began to record music again. Her second studio album Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams (2008) deviated from the pop-oriented music of her debut to Motown-inspired sounds from the 60's and 70's. It peaked at number nine on the US Billboard 200 and received positive reviews from critics. She followed this up with the 1980s pop and R&B-inspired EP True (2012) on Terrible Records and her imprint Saint Records. Her third studio album, A Seat at the Table (2016) was released to widespread critical acclaim and became her first number-one album in the United States. The album's lead single, "Cranes in the Sky" won the Grammy for Best R&B Performance. Her fourth studio album, When I Get Home, was released in March 2019 to further critical acclaim.
Knowles was heavily influenced by Motown girl groups and says that her first passion is songwriting. Frequently compared by the media to her sister Beyoncé, Knowles has claimed that they have different aspirations and are musically different. She has been ranked by Billboard as the 100th most successful dance artist of all-time, and in 2017 was honored with the "Impact Award" at Billboard Women in Music. Her other ventures include an endorsement deal with Rimmel London and a line of hip-hop-oriented merchandise for young children.

Gravity Music Production Group
She wanted to bring the sound of electric relaxation back from a tribe called quest, so she reached out to q-tip because he's the father of this type sound and also pay tribute to Aaliyah as well because she was a major influence to Salonge as a teen since 8th grade
