LYRICS
Never cared about being immortalised
How can I stand with the opps and not with the tribe?
They sell a dream and then want you to glorify
Got a rude awakening by ignoring up all the signs
Why did I give you the keys to authorise?
Shit on my behalf now I’m scarred and mortified
What did I expect from those living a corporate life?
Unfortunately honesty isn’t normalised
Had to get my shit together and get organised
If your hands in my pockets I’m calling up all the guys
Though I don’t wanna be the reason of more divide
Guess that’s in my nature of being a water sign
Im sorta like
Nothing is making sense in my awkward mind
Give me your ears to lend me for the night
Shooting in the dark guess I never saw the light
Revoke access
I’m running it back yes
Missing opportunities
I wish I was that pressed
Yeah I say that shit with my damn chest
You need me and you feel the loss of my absence
The novelty wears off after a few years
After a few tears
From challenging new fears
Learning everything I didn’t on the come up
We was too busy making music till the sun up
Everyday thru the summer
Didn’t learn the business and now I’m ducking for cover
What a fuck up
Might just leave a bad taste thinking I’m a sucker
Come up out my damn face nigga did I stutter?
It gon be a sad case if you see my brothers
I can see how an artist can get tainted
Frustrated
They don’t care if your mental is on the brink of something dark as long as your cutting somebody’s payslip
And sending their kids to private school in a spaceship
Yeah, I refuse to be on a slave ship
Give me all my masters and lower your wages, huh
What I’m bringing to the table is more than a feast for the belly of the beast
Didn’t know I’m dropping something heavy for the streets
Fuck the politics I’m going Megan on you neeks
I need the best seats in the house when the truth unfolds it’s gonna be one hell of a scene
Harry listening from heaven on repeat
He was backing it when nobody believed
Play the game play the game is what they scream
You can play the game I don’t see the need no
Feel so alive
I woke up and I prayed for a sign
I know good things take time
God sent me you as an Angel
When your alone
The little thoughts that nobody knows
Hardest thing to do is stay strong
I knew I needed an Angel
My Saturn return in effect
Life doesn’t come with pre-sets
My frequency seemless
They want you give more expect you dream less
Got me confessing all my secrets
You ain’t the only one under deep stress
Please don’t take my kindness for a weakness
Get G checked for your disrespect
Perception and observation is clinical
More head space had me shaving off my occipital
They say you can hate who you don’t love
And they say love is unconditional
I ready to do the unthinkable
Fuck rules and everything that’s traditional
Giving your heart to someone
Might just, leave you in a, something something
Feel so alive
I woke up and I prayed for a sign
I know good things take time
God sent me you as an Angel
When your alone
The little thoughts that nobody knows
Hardest thing to do is stay strong
I knew I needed an Angel
An Angel
How you go against the system you was colonised by?
Brudda your whole ting compromised
Having these conversations with self and nobody else
Thinking they don’t understand my thinking when I socialise
I need an Angel with me for armour
I need accountability partner
I know that all these blessings are karma
I need a fire lit by the sea side
Purest manuka up in my bee hive
Give me a second and let the beat ride
Is there a golden key to the sweet life?
I don’t know what’s got into me but at least I’m
Making time for self and not others when I got free time
New woman
Don’t tell me I shouldn’t
Just because you couldn’t
They say don’t you give up too much of the truth to em
Well I got 9 more songs in the boot for em
Figured this is the moment I gotta speak now
Head high, back straight, feet down
Posture going crazy
Had to stand tall while they were trying to break me
Fuck that you niggas didn’t make me
And I say you will never infiltrate me
Dim my light are you crazy?
Yo we two worlds apart you know lady lady lady
Flo and I coming like De Niro snd Scorsese
Stop trying to box me in there’s nowhere you can place me
Hit ‘em with a classic then I got a little lazy
Had to get the pen when I remembered that Jay-z
Had to cut you off because I found you were snakey
I got Angels guiding my steps
Guarding my life from now until death
Perspective is everything and I wonder what they see
Hurt people, hurt people I get it but don’t pay me
My Saturn return in effect
Life doesn’t come with pre-sets
My frequency seamless
So please don’t take my kindness for a weakness
Cos I got angels

This lady actually write LYRICS, we're missing this nowadays! She is like Bob Dylan, her lyrics cut and stand up by themselves. Keep going Little Simz, the most exciting artist in recent times. Power ✌💪
Agree with you... she's great.
New to me ... Pleasure to find interesting music and words... I was feeling adrift!!!
I hear punk granny VI SUBVERSA from the poison girls...as well Bob.
Power
For sure MargoMahony ..
Sorry i wrote your name bad
Cause thats the sound and lyrics what missing in this time :) so much 😞
need more share that now
Blessed love
What a way to end the year with a new album from the Queen.
A Queen 👑 of dropping that fire🔥, so hot that her bars are cold🥶
'A' Queen, yes, tHere's many Royalty round ere. Low the HRH lol
Like the Song "Royalty" from by Gangstarr
All hail king simbi 😊🕶️
✊🤝🇬🇧,Happy Holidays!!!
@@den9009 happy new year, bud! 🧝🏾♂️
I don't know how to describe it in words because it's hard for me, but I always find her music as my favorite color, it gives me something similar to comfort and magic, something that comes from a different place,her voice,the lyrics,the layers of the beat,I could live in this song forever the safe place I can always come back to
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromesthesia
Even though I don't experience chromesthesia, I completely understand what you're saying, to me it comes across as the "vibe" of her music. For me, every album has that different vibe that might come across as a color to you from Grey Area to SIMBI, now to NO THANK YOU
@@ayushgupta866 omg that is precisely what happens to me with this song and this album in particular, it does not happen to me all the time but it does with some songs, albums, readings and sounds,I feel like those colors invite me to something due to the tone of voice, the lyrics, the arrangements, thanks for the information buddy
You perfectly put this in words.
Her voice and words are nostalgic and invites you into something colorful and euphoric.
It's like her song, "Flowers" ft Michael Kiwanuka. It's a perfect song. Her voice and how she layers the lyrics takes me somewhere beautiful and makes me want to stay there.
@@plicool exactly as you said I can't feel in any other way than colourful and notalgic when listening to this album 🥺
You described it beautifully. She truly is a being with higher purpose and she heals the hurting with such ease. I wish everyone knew how music moves mountains.... Every blessing to you
This is one of the best rap songs I have ever heard in my life. Soul cleansing. Clears your mind. Mello, reflective and chilled, yet light, jumpy and uplifting. Timeless. And the reason it's timeless is because of the ultra smooth beat, ultra smooth flow; ultra smooth hook; ultra smooth vocalist; comfort level 10/10- it is so listenable. Unlike heavy rap, which becomes exhausting to listen to, meaning it only gets a few listens, I could listen to this all day.
real talk.
Love love love this, from the lyrics, to the beat, to the singing, to those strings. Big love from Australia (Aboriginal land) 🇦🇺
God bless you, Legend
Love is un❤conditional, safe. Protected
God. I love you. Please help
Ireland
soul cleansing 🌱
Yeeee
Soul cleansing. Amen.

Never cared 'bout bein' immortalised

Feel so alive

When you're alone
The little thoughts that nobody knows
Hardest thing to do was stay strong
I knew I needed an angel
[Verse 2: Little Simz]
My Saturn return in effect
Life doesn't come with presets
My frequency's seamless
They want you give more, expect you to dream less
Got me confessin' all my secrets
You ain't the only one under deep stress
Please don't take my kindness for a weakness

An angel
[Verse 3: Little Simz]
How you go against the same system you were colonised by?
Brother, your whole ting compromised
Havin' these conversations with self and nobody else
Thinkin' they don't understand my thinkin' when I socialise
I need a angel with me for armour
I need accountability, partner
I know that all these blessings are karma
I need a fire lit by the seaside
Purest manuka up in my beehive
Give me a second and let the beat ride
Is there a golden key to the sweet life?
I don't know what's got into me
But at least I'm makin' time for self and not others when I got free time
New woman, don't tell me I shouldn't just because you couldn't
They say, "Don't you give up too much of the truth to 'em"
Well, I got nine more songs in the boot for 'em
Figure this is the moment, I gotta speak now
Head high, back straight, feet down
Posture goin' crazy
Had to stand tall while they were tryin' to break me
Fuck that, you niggas didn't make me
And I say you will never infiltrate me
Dim my light? Are you crazy?
Yo, we two worlds apart, you know, lady, lady, lady
Flo and I comin' like DeNiro and Scorsese
Stop tryin' to box me in, there's no way you can place me
Hit 'em with a classic then I got a little lazy
Had to get a pen when I remembered that I'm JAY-Z
Had to cut you off because I found out you were snaky
I got angels guidin' my steps, guardin' my life from now until death
Perspective is everything and I wonder what they see
Hurt people hurt people, I get it, but don't play me
My Saturn return in effect
Life doesn't come with presets
My frequency's seamless
So, please don't take my kindness for a weakness
'Cause I got angels
Love that Sims and Cleo Sol work together so much. Perfect combination
100%!
Fr - Selfish, Woman and this song so many great songs
hearing and witnessing you outdo yourself again and again is such a pleasure and a gift, transcendent
This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard in my life. The beat is out of this world, the chorus is insane and Little simz verse is crazy with the flow. If she was American, she will be the biggest thing right now
But she’s British, so she’ll be bigger ;)
Best lyricist of my gen i swear
This is Little Simz most underrated song ever. My favorite line " i refuse to be on a slave ship (record label), give me all my masters and their wages". She is one of the best lyricist out there
Little Simz is so underrated, literally a lyrical genius, y'all can see she work very hard
I can only be thankful that his woman is sharing her mind and soul with us in this way! I truly revere her being and her perspective on life. Keep on shining, Simbi!
6am study sessions 😪 i love the freestyling!!
Simbi’s skillfulness as an MC has always astonished me, and it gets even better with every album.
💯💯💯
This is what I call perfection.
Just realized she sampled Heaven baseline from Tierra Whack, one other song that makes me feel too soft. Awesome track ❤
A six minute poem, all on its' own. Respect, Love, and Peace to you.
What a Renaissance woman sounds like. Fresh like sunshine. Thank you.
you cant find a better soul healer song. I bow to you Little Simz with tears of joy 🙇♂
This is the most beautiful song I have heard and the chorus is killer
I'm so glad I found your music. This sounds so euphoric.
this album is everything! touching the deepest parts of my being -thank you! you are phenomenal
Yes! Such joy when you can download the entire album to your playlist because you know each song is great! Little Simz, underrated still how can it be?! I feel lucky to know of her music and hope others can find her art and enjoy it too.
Crazy how I've been listening to you since 2015, Space age days type shit.. and now you're on top of the world.. Keep going Queen.. Thank you for touching my life.♥️
