Knowles, Solange - Scales Lyrics






[Solange & Kelela:]
Candy red things gonna spin
With that big body boy you're bound to win
And that armor in your mouth
You're gonna shine
Your wrist talking, boy it's only time
Put the incense on
Cover up the smell
And if your boys go down I know you'll never tell
You're a superstar
You're a superstar
Always shining in the night
And your skin glowing in the moonlight

[Solange:]
The streets say you're a king
The world says you're a failure
And your mother is a queen
But damn she always tells ya
'You gon' end up like your daddy'
But damn that nigga fresh
So if it all comes out to plan
You gon' end up like the best
You say 'look on the TV... they all want to be me'
For nothing, whatever it's worth, it's something
Ain't no apologizing, for all of the things you want
So if dreams only go so far
They'll come to where you are

[Solange & Kelela:]
Candy red things gonna spin
With that big body boy you're bound to win
That armor in your mouth
You're gonna shine
Your wrist talking boy it's only time
Put the incense on
Cover up the smell
And if your boys go down I know you'll never tell
You're a superstar
You're a superstar
Always shining in the night
And your skin glowing in the moonlight

Your love is kind
Your love is kind
But your love ain't blind
Your world is kind
Your world is kind
But your world ain't blind

  94. C.... ....

    This has become my favorite song from the album. "You're love is kind, But you're love ain't blind."I like the way she approaches a topic that has been beat to death, in a new interesting way. The real "trap shit"! I have always loved Solo but now I think she found her seat at every ones table.

  95. a.... z....

    damn this reminds me of floetry

  96. J.... J....

    Congrats to Solange A seat at the table-#1 album nationwide also 6 songs on the top R&B songs charts, Cranes in the sky, Don't touch my hair (whatcha say to me) featuring Sampha, Mad featuring Lil Wayne, Weary, F.U.B.U and Rise....this no doubt is the album of the year!
