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
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
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

At first I was like oh Kelela only sings the end but then I heard Kelelas album and she has many songs and harmonies on songs where she sounds exactly like solange so I'm confused 😭
I really wish that outro was its own song and longer. That thing was eargasmic lol The whole album is
I'm an aspiring artist and she really just inspired me to not even give into the sound of now and truly reminded me music like this still exists and that I can be in this lane if I really want to .. thank you solange for these beautiful sounds
Glass of wine and music loud
Wooooooow, I had no idea Solange was so talented/gifted. What a lovely, smooth, silky, beautiful voice. I absolutely love her style of music!!!!!! You're beautiful, unique and so out of the box. Bless your heart my daughter.....Continue down your path. standing out with such beautiful originality!!!!!!!!!
2:57 the best part to me, the vocals are so nature and pure
I love you so mush and well all of your songs are great but your my number one fane love you
I love what this song is about. 💜
Art Bae what's this song about
This is lit!
Artistic Album, love it
She snatched my damn soul with this track 🎶🎶🎶🎶
This song makes me feel high.
The most complicated systemized household is the Black family.
I need the last 50 seconds on a 10hr loop
yes maam
I get lost at the end ,
I love the whole CR! This is my favorite record
This album is beautiful works even more when you draw
my favorite song on the album
When she hits that "your love is kind" verse! My goodness, orgasmic! Love everything about this album and love everything about her. She is such an inspiration.
is this about master-p?
Man this song is soooooooo slept on. They way Solange and Kalela harmonize together is what I imagine angels sound like.
the music captivates, people this is art!!!!!!!!!!
i love her music.....
Not really my style of music, but it's defininitly has it's
type of beautiful style that gives me some vibes. I love it.
This album has me so relaxed...I'm on cloud 99!
I need a video
The arrangements of the music is nice. True scales
this song is ethereal it takes me somewhere else
no need for a fragile masculinity when your love is kind
"...and that armor in your mouth you're gonna shine..."
You're a superstar
her vocals sound like Beyonce on this track with a mixture of Tweet... love this girl since Tony
take me to a place if relevance and cleanse my thoughts I love her so much
That breakdown at the end is everythang!
THIS ALBUM IS EVERYTHING!
your new album is beautiful I'm a new fan of yours
Al la Aaliyah and Kelly Rowland vibes
Every damn time I think I've chosen my favorite track, here comes another one! So hauntingly beautiful.....
Karen+ You too. Every other week it's a different track.
To all up and coming artist please be yourself. This woman did the opposite of everything we see and hear and now is reaping the benefits and rewards of her fans and peers.

Anybody else excited about Kelela being on the track!! Whatttt!! My boo coming up. I love them two together. This is so relaxing.
Ciara Butler literally the first song I went to listen to because of Kelela. Now I'm just waiting for her to release her new songs from her Interlude film haha
Solange is in my top 10 faves! my sister always admired Solange and Erykah Badu and I done jumped on the band wagon!! Dope as hell
Chills, goose bumps and the hairs standing on my body !!! What kind of spiritual soulful beautifulness is this !
black men are beautiful
Solange is Greatness
Best song on the album!!
Yesss Kelela on the come up! Love Bank Head
💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
I love Kelela and Sampha. I was so excited to here them on her album
this needs a video !!
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.
damn this reminds me of floetry
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!
