Solange Knowles - Borderline (An Ode To Self Care) Lyrics
We been lovers on a mission
We been lovers on a mission (all the way)
But what's love without a mission
We been lovers on a mission (all the way)
So let's take an intermission
You know I have the world to think
And I know I gotta go ahead and take some time
Because the last thing that I want
Is think that it's time that I leave the boderline
So let's take it off tonight
Break it off tonight
Baby let's know when to let go
Know when to let go
Take it off tonight
Baby I know you're tired
Know I'm tired
Let's take it off tonight
Break it off tonight
Baby it's war outside these walls
Baby it's war outside these doors, yeah
It's a safe place tonight
Let's play it safe tonight
Baby I know what you're fighting for
Baby you know what I'm fighting for
You know I have the world to think
And you know I gotta go ahead and take some time
Because the last thing I want
Is think that it's time that I leave the boderline
So let's take it off tonight
Break it off tonight
Baby let's know when to let go
Know when to let go, oh
Take it off tonight
Break it off tonight
Baby I know you're tired
You know I'm tired
Let's take it off tonight
Break it off tonight
Baby I've been more than a woman
We've been lovers on a mission
It's a safe place tonight
Let's play it safe tonight
Baby we've been lovers on a mission (all the way)
So let's take an intermission

Solange Knowles Borderline (An Ode To Self Care) Comments
if you play this song and QTiip's we fight/we love ....you'll definitely hear some similarities between the two
how they let the beat play by itself at 3:00 that is so 2001 aaliyah
Master class out of key proformance
what a song! yeeesssss! can't stop playing this
this is so inspiring. the deftness of production. the vocalizing. the nod to 70s fusion. the post-90s downtempo. makes me see sultry colors in my heart and moistens my eyes and ears. truly, an inspiring artist
OWW me love it
This song should be at least 5 minutes
We been lovers on a mission
We been lovers on a mission (all the way)
But whats love without a mission
We been lovers on a mission (all the way)
So let's take an intermission
You know I have the world to think about
And you know I gotta go ahead and take some time
Because the last thing that I wanna do
Is think that it's time that I leave the boderline
So let's take it off tonight
Break it off tonight
Baby let's know when to let go
Know when to let go
Take off tonight
Break it up tonight
Baby I know you're tired
Know I'm tired
Let's take it off tonight
Break it off tonight
Baby it's war outside these walls
Baby it's war outside these doors, yeah
It's safe place tonight
Let's play safe tonight
Baby I know what you're fighting for
Baby you know what I'm fighting for
You know I have the world to think about
And you know I gotta go ahead and take some time
Because the last thing that I wanna do
Is think that it's time that I leave the boderline
So let's take it off tonight
Break it off tonight
Baby let's know when to let go
Know when to let go, oh
Take off tonight
Break it up tonight
Baby I know you're tired
You know I'm tired
Let's take it off tonight
Break it off tonight
Baby I've been more than a woman
We've been lovers on a mission
It's safe place tonight
Let's play it safe tonight
Baby we've been lovers on a mission (all the way)
So let's take an intermission
i like this
I love this song
One of the ten best albums of the 2010's .Absolutely perfect.Far better than Lemonade
Borderline to B.V. it's Solange.
The way this song starts!!!! Oooh that’s good😌
So let’s ....
O K !! 🔥🔥
I would LOVE to hear the demo to this track! What a beauty. I know Tip's productions always have such an interesting story behind them, the samples used, the perfect moment looped, the touches from the parts he plays with instruments to add texture. The music is just so sublime.
"Lemonade" comments: "this makes me wanna dump a boyfriend that I don't even have!"
"A seat at the table" comments : "this makes me feel happy to be black even if I'm not!"
im so in love with Solange <3
Dawwggg I'm in Love 💖💖💖💖💖💖😍😍😍😍😍😍
This is that A Tribe Called Quest vibe most certainly
Just found out about this song today and I’m happy I did. Wish I didn’t miss it but this hit different especially after graduating high school and it being a chill summer and looking back at the fun in a sad way
The best song on the album. Just brilliant
This my jam!
That beat at 0:49 😖😖😖it's sick!!!🙌🙌🙌
Havent listened in such a long time, I play one song and the moment I see the next title , I skip and jump to the next one because I'm just too excited!!! I want to hear all of them !!
A Seat At The Table put me in a whole different frequency!💖
Giving me Erykah Badu feels...🤤😫
this my favorite song rn
This song makes me realize I'm gonna breakup with my woman tomorrow
Q Tip is one helluva producer....
Hey solange 🤸♀️💫💫
This is poser music!! Only people that pose to be "different" or "unique" think this is good. This shit is trash sorry, not sorry!!
Solange IS a MOOOD
2019... Ok boo.
Yes Q-tip produced and wrote this song 🎤🎧🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 and salange killed it🙏🏿
Video concept: Her and her guy are in the house hanging out. Dancing, playing games...and you can see through the curtains what looks like fireworks but is an all out warzone and riots in the neighborhood. From time to time they glance at each other with concern but keep hanging out. Then at the end they stop, open the door, grab hands, look at each other and go to war. Lovers on a mission, after their intermission.
Belinda G beautiful, I can see everything.
lol i did not know this is the sister of you know, love your vibe
Love this chicks music!!!!!! Smooth laid back and beautiful!
Ariana sampled the beginning of this I think
The enjoy the full effect of this song.. Listen to this while watching the rain fall. Puts you into another world
best song
I'm hearing Aaliyah- More than a woman vibes from this gem 💎
Yall sleeping on Solange her whole album the shit i been playing every song since it came out ❤💯
One thing about Solange is that...like Marvin Gaye the music is very simple but her vocals carry the weight.
I needed 'bout 3 more minutes added on to this song. Ended way too soon.
My mom put me on this
This shit go!!!! ..knockin this in the jag
still on heavy rotation
This My SHIT!!!
the very beginning reminds me of a song which I don't remember the name, nor the artist. But I recognize it from somewhere. this is driving me crazy tbh
Q-tip and Solange is so in sync,I think this is my favorite❤
UNDERRATED TAPE
💪🏾
Q-tip was the perfect sound for this
Love this so much !!! 2018

So beautiful and cool
Album is a classic
This is my black person go to sleep at night song
This song will never get old . This ALBUM tbh 👌🏾
I just genuinely fucks with this song heavy
I love this sony
To every one saying this reminds you of Aaliyah, it's Solange's way of paying homage. In the last part of the chorus before the song ends Solange says: "Baby I've been more than a woman, we've been lovers on a mission" using the same harmonies from More Than A Woman. She spoke about this in an interview on this song. 🙏😇
This woman is something else I love this song. I know you tired no I'm tired.
1:09 - 1:14 Reminds me sooo much of Aaliyah
❤❤❤❤
Where is this video. I know she would bring the visual to Lyfe!
Still on this 3/18
This song takes me away
Did pharrell produce this
Q-Tip produced it
One of the best albums ever made! A masterpiece!
