There was a woman
Born from a lotus
Her heart was golden
Deep as the ocean
And then this one man
He came and broke it
'Til it was open
Just like a lotus
Oh yes
There were explosions
She found her focus
The beast awoken, ay
Hey

Triggered (freestyle)
Go figure
You were the trigger
You brought me to an obstructed view
When you knew the picture was bigger
Who am I kiddin'?
Knew from the beginnin'
You'd ruin everything, you do it every time
You are my enemy, you are no friend of mine, muhf*cker, uh
You muhf*ckin' right
You muhf*ckin' right, I'm bitter
You muhf*ckin' right, I'm triggered
You muhf*ckin' right, I
Wanna f*ck you right now (hmm)
I just turned the lights out now
And you know when the sun go down
That's when it would all go down
Been a minute, been a while
Ain't let nobody hit it since you hit it
I know you always know what to do wit' it
But ain't no me and you without you in it
Damn, I'm 'bout to burn this bitch down
Think I need to lie down
'Cause I'm not tryna wild out now
But right now
Don't know what I'm capable of
Might f*ck around and go crazy on cuz
Might f*ck around, have to pay me in blood
This ain't the way that you want it
Might catch a case in this bitch
Don't let me catch you face-to-face in this bitch
Tryin' my hardest not to disrespect you
After what you did, man, what you expected?
You muhf*cker, uh
You muhf*ckin' right
You muhf*ckin' right, I'm bitter
You muhf*ckin' right, I'm triggered
You muhf*ckin' right, I, uh
Tryna let the time fly (yeah)
Tryna let the time go by
Tryna let the time heal all
Tryna let the time kill all
Of our memories
All you meant to me
All that history
All that's history
I'll calm down eventually
Fall back eventually, please
Call me back eventually
Fall back into me, yeah
Maybe I'm overreacting
Baby, I don't know what happened
You know all of my bad habits
You know it's hard for me to control that shit, man
'Cause when I get mad, I get big mad
Should have never did that, get back
'Bout to feel the wrath of a menace
In my bag, in my feelings
I'm a bad lil' bitch, and uh
I'm triggered, when I see your face
Triggered, when I hear your name
Triggered, I am not okay, uh
You need to stay out my way
Triggered, when I see your face
Triggered, when I hear your name
Triggered, I am not okay, uh
You need to stay out of my way, uh
You need to stay out of my way (yeah)
You need to stay out of my way
Oh, oh-oh, I, yeah-yeah
You were the trigger

None of Your Concern
Oh, yeah, oh yeah
Uh, yeah
I been contemplating, meditating
Should have waited
Should have never dated
You seem irritated
Baby, why you never say it?
Isn't this worth saving?
I can feel you fading off
We're not gonna make it long
Guess you can not take it
Guess it's worth saying
It's none of your concern anymore
None of your concern
Is it even worth it at all?
Is it even worth it?
Is it gonna work anymore?
Is it gonna work?
Am I being heard anymore?
Am I being heard? (Nah yeah)
I been hearing things
And seeing things
And so it seems you're moving on from me
Caught you on the scene
With little miss thing
And trust me, she really don't want beef
That's besides the point
I'm disappointed as a homie
What is it you see?
I want better for you, moving forward
What's better for you than me?
Guess that's none of my concern anymore
None of my concern
It ain't even worth it no more
It ain't even worth it (even worth it)
It don't even hurt anymore
It don't even hurt
It ain't gonna work anymore
It ain't gonna work, yeah
You been hearing things and seeing things
And so it seems I'm moving on my own
The audacity to question me
Like you ain't leave me out here on my own
I was traumatized and suicidal
Sick and tired, I am not to blame
Once I felt a way but not today
I'm not afraid now I can say
Get your bitch ass off of my phone
Please leave me alone
I am not your girl anymore
You need to watch your tone
Don't worry about who it is I'm f*cking
Or who I am loving
Just know that it is not you
This isn't up for discussion
I wish you good luck man
When it comes to you
It's none of my concern anymore
None of my concern
I know that I'm deserving of more
I know what I deserve
(Is it worth it?)
Not scared to be alone anymore
Not scared to be alone
(Is it gonna work?)
It don't even hurt anymore
It don't even hurt
You been on some bullshit
Yeah, you know I had these issues when you met me
Results of the post damages that I haven't dealt with
And I only want the best for you moving forward
But you back tracking with niggas that ain't shit for you
Don't belong around your aura
No, there's not a day in these modern times
You haven't crossed my mind, we both crossed the line
Seems like I needed you more than I needed myself
Just like I always felt like cheating on you
Would be cheating myself
To me that's just some dumb shit for you to say we done with
Tryna speak your heart, tryna make your mark
Then go deeper and make a scar
But every time I lay down, I think about you naked
And if you find my replacement, how could you?
I made you cum nine times in one day
Your two lips should come in a vase, you rode my face
I realized you look as good as you taste, mmh
Fingers all in your mouth, I'm grabbing you up
And dicking you down and grabbing your waist
Your room is my only escape
I guess that's none of your concern
Uh, yeah
I been contemplating, meditating
Should have waited
Should have never dated
You seem irritated
Baby, why you never say it?
Isn't this worth saving?
I can feel you fading off

Happiness Over Everything (H.O.E.)
These red roses damn near turn to ashes
If I keep it real, you won't understand it
These dirty blogs got your mind damaged
I'll walk a million miles to see you happy
I hope she don't think, that I think
That she's some kind of hoe
(Some kind of hoe)
'Cause I don't care
That just lets me know that
She knows what she wants, yeah
Baby, I won't judge (no, no, no, no, no)
Freak, freak, freak, freak
'Cause now I'm sure that (freak, freak, freak, freak)
She knows what she wants, yeah
I ain't gonna hold you baby, I like what I see
That print in them sweat pants got me weak off in my knees
I been thinking 'bout you since we met at No I.D.'s
If you're free tonight I think that you should come see me
(Ohh, ohh)
Don't be scared of my aggression
(Ohh, ohh)
Just don't get the wrong impression
I hope she don't think, that I think
That she's some kind of hoe
(Some kind of hoe)
I don't care
That just lets me know that
She knows what she wants, yeah
Baby, I won't judge (no, no, no, no)
Freak, freak, freak, freak
Now I'm sure that (freak, freak, freak, freak)
She knows what she wants, yeah (you like the way I wink at you?)
I can't never have a hater bone inside my body (nope)
I just like it better when my girl do her Pilates (see?)
I wanna dress you up and have you fresher than a stylist
Think about any drama when your body traumatizing (think about it)
You so caught up in the hype
You could have easily been my wife
I see the way your friends look they already thinking I'm shiesty (they jealous)
They misunderstood me when they say I'm Jesus Christ
I just want you to worship me, I like what I like
I'll feed you to the wolves if you don't talk to me nice
They gon' try to crucify me
They think we worship 'luminati (gang)
I take my heart and I go hide it
After all I just hope he don't think that I'm some kind of hoe, some kind of hoe
I don't know, he just makes me feel like he knows what he wants, yeah
Baby, I won't judge
(Freak, freak, freak, freak)
Now I'm sure that he knows what he wants, yeah
Yeah, I choose happiness over everything
Over anything and its everything
Yeah, happiness over everything
Over anything and it's everything to me
If I keep it real, you won't understand it
These dirty blogs got your mind damaged
I'll walk a million miles to see you happy
I hope she don't think, that I think
That she's some kind of hoe

That just lets me know that
She knows what she wants, yeah
Baby, I won't judge (no, no, no, no)
Freak, freak, freak, freak
Now I'm sure that (freak, freak, freak, freak)
She knows what she wants, yeah (you like the way I wink at you?)
I can't never have a hater bone inside my body (nope)
I just like it better when my girl do her Pilates (see?)
I wanna dress you up and have you fresher than a stylist
Think about any drama when your body traumatizing (think about it)
You so caught up in the hype
You could have easily been my wife
I see the way your friends look they already thinking I'm shiesty (they jealous)
They misunderstood me when they say I'm Jesus Christ
I just want you to worship me, I like what I like
I'll feed you to the wolves if you don't talk to me nice
They gon' try to crucify me
They think we worship 'luminati (gang)
I take my heart and I go hide it
After all I just hope he don't think that I'm some kind of hoe, some kind of hoe
I don't know, he just makes me feel like he knows what he wants, yeah
Baby, I won't judge
(Freak, freak, freak, freak)
Now I'm sure that he knows what he wants, yeah
Yeah, I choose happiness over everything
Over anything and its everything
Yeah, happiness over everything
Over anything and it's everything to me

One Way St.
Going the wrong way on a one-way street
Going the wrong way on a one-way street, ah
I'm feelin' strangely sane today
I am amazed, I'm brave today
I rearranged my brain today
I rearranged my ways
Going the wrong way on a one-way street, yeah
Going the wrong way on a one-way street, ah
I wait for love, I waste away
Wasting my days, I waste away
I wasted love, I waste away
Wasting my days, I wait
Going the wrong way on a one-way street, yeah
Going the wrong way on a one-way street (yo), ah
Stuck in traffic on the road less traveled, no fast track
That's how life'll do you
I had to learn to backtrack before I could move forward
Like quadruple
Uh, I been goin' insane, ask Jhené
I may be way too high, the sky is in my way
My judgement's cloudy because of it
Still staying grounded like a child on punishment
Runnin' and tumblin', stumblin', hidin' from idle time (time)
It isn't in my design to deny the signs (signs)
Always remember the fallen when on the rise (rise)
And when you find your calling, don't hit decline (hello)
They want me with my back against the wall
I bounce back, that's a echo, f*ck 'em all
Not sexually, disrespectfully
Instead of catching me, all that's left of me is tire marks
Yeah (I'm gone)
Melancholy, mediocre mess
Maybe I should just give it a rest now
I just gotta get this off my chest (yeah)
Lately I have been so f*ckin' stressed out
Flippin'-floppy, wishy-washy, never twice the same
Found her calling, now they're calling her another name
"This bitch crazy, or just maybe so sane she's insane"
Hard to say, well, who's to say which way is the wrong way?
Wait, wait
(Yeah, I f*ck with that)
You're my friend, okay, bye

Define Me (interlude)
Try me
You cannot define me
I can tell you're trying
First you've gotta find me
Time
You've gotten behind me
All in divine timing
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Rising despite your denying
You cannot define me

Ay, man, let me get a eighth, man
You want a eighth?

Alright well, come on in, don't touch nothin' either
Smell-smell this, I just got this right here from Cambodia, it's a Cambodia Crispy
This ain't no Cambodia Crispy
Man, okay, I'ma be honest man, that's really CBD
But just give me, just give me thirty seven dollars and you can have that
If I could fly
I would probably never come down
With all of the bullshit confusion on the ground
I wish that I was high
'Cause I can't live my life when it's loud
So I'm gonna call the bros
Tell 'em, "Roll up one, right now"
I'm tryna smoke
I'm so high, I'm so high, I'm so hig
That's just how I get by-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Lift that bird to the motherf*cking sky
That's that pill, that's that fire, fire (I'm tryna smoke)
Don't you cry, don't you cry, I-I-I ain't full high
I'ma ride it, I just need to put my mind at ease (yeah)
Someone tell my baby mama I'm just tryna keep the peace
I ain't here for all that drama, I'm tryna smoke
Life's no fairytale, I know all too well (well)
Gotta plant the seed sometimes
Then you let it grow
Inhale, exhale some more
Heaven in Hell
If you know, you know
That shit is beautiful
You gotta just let it go
Spark up a blunt and smoke
You better blow that shit out, man
Yeah, yeah
If I could fly (if I could fly, yeah)
I would probably never come down (yeah)
With all of the bullshit confusion on the ground
I wish that I was high

So I'm gonna call the bros
Tell 'em, "Roll up one, right now"
I'm tryna smoke
Tryna keep myself from looking over the edge (over the edge)
I know life's a bitch, but she could at least give me head ('least give me head)
Sometimes, I mean, is that too much to ask? (Too much to ask)
That's why lately I've been smokin' on gas (smokin' gas)
I know God is good, I know he keep me alive
I be probably talking to him most when I'm high
When I'm high, I see all this shit crystal clear
When I'm high, I see through the smoke and the mirrors
If I could fly
I would probably never come down
With all of the bullshit confusion on the ground
I wish that I was high
'Cause I can't live my life when it's loud
So I'm gonna call the bros
Tell 'em, "Roll up one, right now"

10k Hours
Yeah
One, two, check
Check, one, two
I know what it's like to lose, do you? Do you?
Have you ever loved someone, then lost that one?
You can't even call they phone
You can't even ask how they day was
Nothing in life's guaranteed, you'll see, uh
I'm not being difficult, I just see things differently
When I say I wanna see you, that means something deeper to me
I've been missing you for ten thousand hours (thousand hours)
I cannot let go, ten thousand memories (memories)
I've been missing you for ten thousand hours, yeah (thousand hours)
I cannot let go, ten thousand memories (memories)
Uh, have you ever loved someone, then lost that one?
Have you ever missed someone that ain't coming back? Uh
You can't even tell that one 'cause they're not here to hear it
Do you hear me?
Nothing in life's guaranteed, you'll see
I'm not being difficult, I just see things differently
You don't see the urgency, that really worries me
The problem is that we think, naturally, we have time but you'll find
Anything can happen, don't take it for granted
You know
I've been missing you for ten thousand hours (ten thousand hours)
I cannot let go, ten thousand memories (ten thousand memories)
I've been missing you for ten thousand hours (ten thousand hours)
Uh, I cannot let go (no), ten thousand memories (ten thousand memories)
Yeah, thinking back on some good times, we have with some bad people like
I shoulda saw she was see through or he was evil like
I wasted my good experience with these people like
Guess it was meant to be, you was teaching me life
So only half that memory's worthwhile
We had beef but at least there's a birth of a child
Cooled and flipped it, reminiscing bad times with good people's terrific
Beautifully different 'cause we still kick it
You said we can't be intimate, you said we can't go there
If this thing is going nowhere, it's so weird
Now it's cold, thought I had control, thought I took your soul
Nah, I took your mind and grave by name
You told me that my mind is your favorite place to hang
Ten thousand hours turned to ten thousand bridal flowers
What was mine is ours
How many soulmates we get in this lifetime?
Right now's the right time, you the wife kind
You could search your whole life tryna find
A love as good as the time we had, we had (we had)
Every person that comes in your life
Here for all the muddy times
So be fair, be there (be there)m uh
Always planning, never manifesting
Father, please help me send him this message (this message)
Always planning, never manifesting
Father, please help me send him this message
One, two, check
Check, one, two
I know what it's like to lose, do you? Do you?
Have you ever loved someone, then lost that one?
You can't even call they phone
You can't even ask how they day was
Nothing in life's guaranteed, you'll see, uh
I'm not being difficult, I just see things differently
When I say I wanna see you, that means something deeper to me
I've been missing you for ten thousand hours (thousand hours)
I cannot let go, ten thousand memories (memories)
I've been missing you for ten thousand hours, yeah (thousand hours)
I cannot let go, ten thousand memories (memories)
Uh, have you ever loved someone, then lost that one?
Have you ever missed someone that ain't coming back? Uh
You can't even tell that one 'cause they're not here to hear it
Do you hear me?
Nothing in life's guaranteed, you'll see
I'm not being difficult, I just see things differently
You don't see the urgency, that really worries me
The problem is that we think, naturally, we have time but you'll find
Anything can happen, don't take it for granted
You know
I've been missing you for ten thousand hours (ten thousand hours)
I cannot let go, ten thousand memories (ten thousand memories)
I've been missing you for ten thousand hours (ten thousand hours)
Uh, I cannot let go (no), ten thousand memories (ten thousand memories)
Yeah, thinking back on some good times, we have with some bad people like
I shoulda saw she was see through or he was evil like
I wasted my good experience with these people like
Guess it was meant to be, you was teaching me life
So only half that memory's worthwhile
We had beef but at least there's a birth of a child
Cooled and flipped it, reminiscing bad times with good people's terrific
Beautifully different 'cause we still kick it
You said we can't be intimate, you said we can't go there
If this thing is going nowhere, it's so weird
Now it's cold, thought I had control, thought I took your soul
Nah, I took your mind and grave by name
You told me that my mind is your favorite place to hang
Ten thousand hours turned to ten thousand bridal flowers
What was mine is ours
How many soulmates we get in this lifetime?
Right now's the right time, you the wife kind
You could search your whole life tryna find
A love as good as the time we had, we had (we had)
Every person that comes in your life
Here for all the muddy times
So be fair, be there (be there)m uh
Always planning, never manifesting
Father, please help me send him this message (this message)
Always planning, never manifesting
Father, please help me send him this message

Summer 2020 (interlude)
And I feel like sometimes I cry
'Cause I feel so good to be alive
And there's not a doubt inside my mind
That you're still here, right here by my side, yeah
I can't wrap my head around what's happenin', uh

'Cause I feel so good to be alive
And there's not a doubt inside my mind, uh
That you're still here, right here by my side, uh
Times are changin', strangers gettin' stranger, uh
Generations faced with genocide, damn
Try to make my way through pain and anger
Then I look into my baby's eyes, uh
And I feel like sometimes I cry, uh
'Cause I feel so good to be alive
When I fall in line with my divine, uh
I can see inside the sun shines more, yeah
I'll take some rain with my sunshine, sunshine, ah

Mourning Doves
We made mornin' love
As the mourning doves
Sing a song for us
They were warnin' us
They were mournin' our love
It was more than our love
They cried over us
It was over for us
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ages and phases and stages, but baby
There really ain't no end
Some doors were closed just for others to open
I'm hopin' you let me in
Truth to be told, we're only gettin' older
But closer than we ever been
The doves weren't cryin', they only were tryin'
To tell us to try it again
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-whoa-ah, oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-whoa
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, oh
As the mourning doves
Sing a song for us
They were warnin' us
They were mournin' our love
It was more than our love
They cried over us
It was over for us
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ages and phases and stages, but baby
There really ain't no end
Some doors were closed just for others to open
I'm hopin' you let me in
Truth to be told, we're only gettin' older
But closer than we ever been
The doves weren't cryin', they only were tryin'
To tell us to try it again
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-whoa-ah, oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-whoa
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, oh

Pray for You
The feeling's finally mutual
I'm ready to let you know
Don't wanna see you no more
I'm ready to let this go

Though we're not together, God bless you still
It's gonna get better, I know it will
Just hope you know, I still
I'll pray for you, I'll pray for you

Lightning and Thunder
Been up since six doin' rituals
Burning incense just to wish you well
Throw all my sins into wishing wells
Smelling your scent, I do miss you still
What kind of spell do you have me under?
What in the hell? Starting to wonder
I am not well, I'm going under
Can't help myself, lightning and thunder
Oh, what if the feeling's reciprocal?
She misses me like I miss her soul
I don't wanna drown and see your regret
But it seems like that's all I have left
What in the hell?
What kind of spell did you put over me? Controllin' me
What in the hell?
What kind of spell did you put over me? Controllin' me
I've been a sick individual
Ever since you made it official
You wouldn't admit the unthinkable
I am still here and available
What kind of spell do you have me under?
Oh, what in the hell? Starting to, starting to wonder
I am not well, I'm going under
Can't help myself (yeah), lighting and thunder
Oh, oh oh oh, ooh, babe
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ayy
Hey, yeah, yeah, uh
It's just like lightning and thunder

What in the hell?
what kind of spell did you put over me?
You took control of me
What in the hell?
what kind of spell did you put over me?
You took control of me, ohh yeah
Burning incense just to wish you well

Magic Hour
Ready for a miracle, I'll
Chill until the sun sets
Waiting for the magic hour
It ain't perfect, but everything's beautiful here
It ain't perfect, but everything's beautiful
It ain't perfect, but everything's beautiful
It ain't perfect, but everything's beautiful
It ain't perfect, no
It was windy in the city
So pretty that night
I swear I tried to stick by you
But time blew me by
It is like you swept me off my feet
And tied me to shore
Somehow my anchor turned stranger
Can't take anymore

Chilombo is the third studio album by American singer Jhené Aiko. It was released on March 6, 2020, by ArtClub International, ARTium Recordings, and Def Jam Recordings. Following the release of Trip and her split with rapper Big Sean, with whom she formed the duo Twenty88, Aiko began work on Chilombo. Recorded as a freestyle in Hawaii, the album was inspired by the island's natural landscape and features traditional singing bowls to create a tranquil effect. In order to create her desired sound, Aiko served as the album's executive producer, enlisting the help of long time collaborators Fisticuffs and Lejkeys, who produced eighteen of the album's songs. The album featured a range of guests including rappers Nas, Ab-Soul, Big Sean and Future, as well as R&B singers Ty Dolla $ign, John Legend, Miguel, and H.E.R. The deluxe edition of the album was released on July 17, 2020, and includes appearances from Kehlani, Mila J, Chris Brown, Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa.
Chilombo received generally positive reviews from critics and was a commercial success. The album debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 chart, earning 152,000 album-equivalent units in its first week. It was also certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in January 2021.
