Kristine Flaherty grew up outside of Chicago, devouring her father's classic rock records and staying up late dancing to Parliament-Funkadelic in the living room. It was this same musical open-mindedness that would later spark her artistic development. She found her musical voice in college, fusing the eclectic power of the Bay Area hip hop scene with her own unique presence, inspired by strong, independent female artists ranging from Missy Elliott and Lauryn Hill to Fiona Apple and Liz Phair.
On stage, K.Flay is a one-woman whirlwind: whether she’s creating beats, singing, rapping or playing guitar, her wit and acerbic charm shine through. Her talents have led her to share the stage with artists including Snoop Dogg, Ludacris, and 3OH!3, where she quickly won over audiences who hadn’t seen anything quite like her before. Further setting her apart from the pack, she serves as her own producer in the studio, methodically infusing her hip hop swagger with a dose of sonic exploration.
With one mixtape (the genre-hopping MASHed Potatoes) already available online, K.Flay is spending the rest of 2010 recording in San Francisco and touring with Passion Pit in October and 3oh!3 in November.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
얻어맞기만 한 실패였다
But I'm not down
I'll never go down
아직은 난 안 끝났다
긴 밤 휘청휘청거리다
먼지 구덩일 구르다
별들이 몇 개 안 떠 있는 듯
착각을 일으키는 도시의 하늘을 보며
오늘도 망한 것 같은
현실에 황홀함을 덧입힌다
꿈을 꾼다
난 꿈을 꾼다
뒤져도 낭만 없는 밤하늘에
나의 별들을 찍는다
뒤덮은 검은색 그 사이로
빛이 흘러내리게 꿈꾼다
위로받기보단 가고 싶다
질투하기보단 받고 싶다
I'm still not down
I'll never go down
불가능의 '불'을 태운다
하도 지끈지끈 머리가 아파서 뒤척거리다
욕이 저절로 튀어나올 때쯤
별들이 몇 개 안 떠 있는 듯
착각을 일으키는 도시의 하늘을 보며
오늘도 망한 것 같은
현실에 황홀함을 덧입힌다
꿈을 꾼다
난 꿈을 꾼다
아직은 내 눈에만
보이겠지만 시간이 지나
매일 꿈을 그린 밤 모두 보게 될 거야
오늘도 망한 것 같은
현실에 황홀함을 덧입힌다
꿈을 꾼다
난 꿈을 꾼다, 꾼다
뒤져도 낭만 없는 밤하늘에
나의 별들을 찍는다
뒤덮은 검은색 그 사이로
빛이 흘러내리게 꿈꾼다

They don't care
People don't care about you
About yo talents
They're not interested in your abilities
All they want
Their only desire is
Is yo off balance
To see you thrown off
Look at you
They see you
Like your so childish
As if you are immature and inexperienced
They would never
They'd never
Let you in the palace
Give you access to their world
And that so foulish
That's foolish behavior
Tell them
To those people say
Let me in hear
Allow me to participate
Let them
Inform them
Know you in here
That you are present
Wishing on a star
Asking a guiding force for assistance
Hope it take you far
Hoping that it will lead to success
Please don't break your heart
Do not get your hopes up, and do not suffer disappointment
Wishing on a dream
Asking for help in achieving a goal
Hope you make the means
Hope that you can find a way to achieve it

The Dreamers
People who dream of a better future
They don't want you
People do not care about you
On this land
Living in this place
They don't got you
They do not have your best interests in mind
In Gods plans
In fate or destiny
Where you from
Your place of origin
Stay prepared
Be ready to face difficulties
To be expunged
To be removed, eradicated or forgotten
And that's no fun
That is not enjoyable
Baby keep on dreaming
Continue to hope and work for your dreams
Keep yo dreams
Hold on to your hopes
Just keep believing
Stay positive and have faith

I feel like k. flay's songs could have so many different meanings depending on your life experiences but no matter what your interpretation is, the lyrics still hit you hard
@adamapigo6523
K.Flay is so underrated, shes been in a music career for so long and has been trying hard at it and i think pretty soon she will become a huge hit just like many other artists that used to hang about in the shadows unheard but are now heard by hundreds of thousands, keep doing what you love k.flay <3

Adam Apigo It's not that K Flay is underrated. It's that the music industry in America. Is still making a moderate amount of money off of "conventional" Hip Hop! Every genre of music has went alternative! At some point! And has created a huge fan base by doing so... But generation gaps and people are just stuck in "conventional" genre! Its hard for people to adjust to the change! And until the well runs dry in conventional Hip Hop! And the money is no longer there! Then America music industry will move to Alternative hip-hop! K Flay genre is alternative hip-hop! And our kids are going to love it! Bottom line is alternative hip-hop. Hasn't made its way into the mainstream yet.. So for those reasons alternative hip hop artists... Get very little radio air time attention... And no attention from other media sources as well...
