JBTV Music Television proudly welcomed Chicagoland native K Flay to perform her unique combination of indie-pop/hip-hop on the show. “Everyone I Know” starts off slow, gradually picking up-tempo turning into a pop tune you can’t help but move your feet to the rhythm.
Hailing from the suburbs of Chicago, K Flay holds degrees in Psychology, and Sociology from Stanford University. It was during that time she started experimenting with rapping, drawing influences from Lauryn Hill, Missy Elliott, and Fiona Apple. In addition to rapping, K Flay’s musical talents extend to playing guitar, and creating beats. She has shared the stages with the likes of Snoop Dogg, Ludacris, and 3OH!3. Her first EP entitled “Life As A Dog” was released in June 2014, and took the No. 14 spot on the Billboard Rap Albums chart.
Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Everyone I know, everyone I know is sad
Smiling in a bad way, high off stolen meds
Everyone I know, everyone I know's got plans
But they all just play the keys in shitty bands
Call my phone if you're feeling lonely
Cause I'm not anyone's one and only
I'm dead, I'm dead
[Verse 2]
Everyone I know, everyone I know is mean
Mad they're 25 not 17
Everyone I know, everyone I know's a kid
Who'll turn out like their fucked up brother did
Write me back if you're feeling empty
I like the rules, I don't like pretending I'm bad
Cause I'm not bad, cause I'm not bad
[Verse 3]
Everyone I know, everyone I know is great
Good enough to fight for second place
Everyone I know, everyone I know can talk
Until their lives get outlined in chalk
Come around if you're feeling frightened
I can see that the noose is tightening fast
Way too fast, way too fast
[Bridge x2]
The city's gonna kill me, throw me from a building, shoot me in a drive by
The city's gonna stalk me, knock out all my front teeth, drown me in the high tide
