Khanada Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Didn't no one tell you
Money is the game?
Playing so hard to get now
I don't even know your name

[Chorus]
(Khanada, I’ll get by) Don't play with me, I've nothing to lose
(Khanada, I’ll get by) Ain't no one's day, it’s coming too soon
(Khanada, I’ll get by) I don't believe in dragons or blues
(Khanada, I’ll get by) I don't believe in nobody's rules

[Verse 2]
Heavy as the rain falls
I might go outside
Just because you're with me
Doesn't mean you're not the same

[Chorus]
(Khanada, I’ll get by) Don't play with me, I've nothing to lose
(Khanada, I’ll get by) Ain't no one's day, it’s coming too soon
(Khanada, I’ll get by) I don't believe in dragons or blues
(Khanada, I’ll get by) I don't believe in nobody's rules

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
