Performing "Gonna Love Me" and "A Rose in Harlem"
from her album "K.T.S.E.," please welcome Teyana Taylor!
And, oh, you're gonna love me
You're gonna wanna hug me
And squeeze me
Sometimes, we say things that we really don't mean
We do things in between the lines
We should do more than stand out
I'm sorry if I made you feel
Less than who you are
A little insecure
Oh, you's a shining star
I wanna spend
My nights with you
My life with you
Oh, baby, babe
Please wait up for me
- Till whenever I get home
- I know that you're all alone
Thinking 'bout what you're gon' do
I hope that I see it through
Ooh, ooh
- And, oh, you're gonna love me
- You're gonna wanna
- Hug me
- And squeeze me, yeah
And, oh, oh, oh
You're gonna love me - And squeeze me
- And, oh, you're gonna love me
- You're gonna wanna hold me
And squeeze me
- A rose in Harlem
A rose in Harlem
- Been through more than a little bit
Been through more than a little bit
But I ain't callin' no names out
No, no free promotion
Naw, naw, I ain't late
I don't do due dates
No sneak diss, no sneak...
That's just how I was raised
Had to get it out the soil
I been down, I been loyal
But when you really hold it down
...ain't even really down for ya
Oh, no, what a shame
10 years in the game
...like, "You ain't hot, you ain't popped yet?"
What's up with you and Ye?" Be straight
- A rose in Harlem
- Grew out the concrete
- A rose in Harlem
- You know it ain't sweet
- A rose in Harlem
- Can't tell me any, any, any, anything
- It be the ones who say they ride for you
It be the ones, the ones you love, them, too
It be the ones who swear they real, not true
- It be them ones, it be them ones
Don't get caught up
- It be the ones, the ones you closest to
It be the ones, the ones you trust, them, too
It be the ones, the ones you look up to
It be the ones
Don't get caught up, young girl
- A rose in Harlem
- Grew out the concrete
- A rose in Harlem
- You know it ain't sweet
- A rose in Harlem
- Can't tell me any, any, any, anything
- Been through more than a little bit
Been through more than a little bit
But I ain't callin' no names out
No, no free promotion
If it ain't 'bout blessings, I can't even address it
I just bought my third house, no album out,
and I got 'em asking
- "What does she do?"
- I do everything
Put that on my wedding ring
Put that on my baby name
- All these fake smiles
- These chicks must just came from a dentist
I can tell it ain't genuine
I get so offended
- A rose in Harlem
- Grew out the concrete
- A rose in Harlem
- You know it ain't sweet
- A rose in Harlem
- Can't tell me any, any, any, anything
- Ones
It be the ones
It be the ones, yeah
It be the ones
Oh, no
It be the ones
Don't get caught up, young girl
[ Cheers and applause ]
