Khalid Scenic Drive

R&B sensation Khalid just dropped off Scenic Drive (The Tape), and if you’ve streamed already, then you know that it’s full of romantic, sticky sweet songs that will be in constant rotation this winter. One of our favourites is the album’s title track, which sees the 23-year-old link up with Ari Lennox and Smino.

Khalid takes the first verse, singing about how time flies by when he’s with the person who’s caught his interest, then Ari Lennox’s gorgeous voice teases us with fiery lines like “Body drippin’ like a spring when I’m with you / We’re electricity, don’t need no fuse.” Last, but certainly not least, is Smino, who lets us know he’s never been one to chase a woman, and that it doesn’t hurt him to know that some other dudes might’ve come before him.

Elsewhere on his new release, Khalid taps Alicia Keys, 6LACK, Lucky Daye, Quin, JID, Kiana Ledé, and Majid Jordan to lend their talents – talk about a dream collab list. If you need something mellow to listen to the next time you’re on a scenic drive of your own, this is it.

Lyrics

[Intro: Khalid]
Yeah, yeah (Ah, ah, ah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, ooh

[Verse 1: Khalid]
Hours seem to go too fast when I’m with you
Just watch it all go past when I’m with you
And that’s the usual, but I love what we got goin’ on
It’s best I let you know, woah (Ooh-ah)
I just hope that I don’t crash when I’m with you
It’s like I’m on my last when I’m with you
I see you’re down for me
Gotta keep the windows rolled up ’til it gets hard to breathe

[Chorus: Khalid]
We’ll be chasin’ a high, it feels amazin’ (It feels amazin’)
You in my ride, we were just blazin’
Under the lights, straight to the ceilin’
Out on my drive, give me a feelin’
Chasin’ a high, it feels amazin’ (It feels amazin’)
You in my ride, we were just blazin’
Under the lights, straight to the ceilin’
Out on my drive, give me a feelin’
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2: Ari Lennox]
Ooh, ooh
Might just do the dash when I’m with you
Climb up on your lap, put it in cruise
So incredible (Yeah), and I shifted lanes, you the realest one on the coast
Body drippin’ like a spring when I’m with you (You)
We’re electricity, don’t need no fuse (Fuse)
Makin’ you lose control
Doin’ donuts on it, keep it going ’til you can’t no more (Can’t no more, hey)

[Chorus: Khalid & Ari Lennox]
We’ll be chasin’ a high, it feels amazin’ (It feels amazin’)
You in my ride, we were just blazin’
Under the lights, straight to the ceilin’
Out on my drive, give me a feelin’ (You got me feelin’)
Chasin’ a high, it feels amazin’ (It feels amazin’)
You in my ride, we were just blazin’ (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Under the lights, straight to the ceilin’
Out on my drive, give me a feelin’ (Oh, baby)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 3: Smino]
Baby (Baby)
I love her if I love at all
I don’t need no award, no applause, uh-huh
Just take
(Tell me a time and a place and I promise I’ll make an appointment
I never been one to be chasin’ no woman
I fuck ’round and treat to do time
My forces, I fuck ’round and, uh—)
Back to the drawing board, bored drunk got da Lauryn on
Love, long as a corridor
Word, lil’ baby my favorite chore
Sure, other dudes had before
I dig, but I don’t give a fuck ’bout nobody or no bodies
Yellow big face on the watch look like Sade
My nigga got a ride in the back, she got shotty
Comme des Garçons, your name
Sweater like crazy (Ooh, ooh)
Love me out loud, L-O-L
‘Cause you my baby (Mm)
Cracked a whole tooth, you so sweet
My friends ain’t seen me for weeks
I highway chase your heart at high speed, nanana
You like it when I’m chasin’

[Chorus: Khalid]
We’ll be chasin’ a high, it feels amazin’ (It feels amazin’)
You in my ride, we were just blazin’
Under the lights, straight to
