- Little Simz X 歌詞
- Little Simz
- [Verse 1: Little Simz]
The mercenary dont fight the war for free
They fight the war for a currency, not unity, not peace
Bookkeepers with information that covers all of these details
Fake news wont prevail if we holding the keys
Land of the free?
[?] by the false pretense
They attack and we play defence
How do I make you see sense?
Have all of your thoughts deepen, test your beliefs?
If the law aint for us, use police on thе police
Whos increasing all their fees?
Listеning to their speeches
How many times did we march with no shoes on? No Js or Louboutin
Been beaten on, been chewed on
But it happened years ago, so we should just move on
You think that man dont know pain cause he got a suit on ?
Cause he finally got a plate that he can now have food on?
Telling me that luck isnt everybodys friend
But, really, you cant fathom that my tree now has fruit on
Dont get me irate in this climate, its heating up in that plane now
Cant fly straight, I might up and migrate
Turbulence results in your mind racing
Prone to dehydration
Run cause you want freedom, dont die chasing
This is post-apocalyptic, where we stand
You wanna give us the Bible and have us give up the land
They will dangle the carrot when nothing is in your hand
And tell you never to worry, 'its all just part of the plan'
**** what you got planned, your wish isnt my command
These people are not your friends, I finally understand
They wanna divide you and [?] people in your set
Cause when youre winning together, thats bigger than any check
[Chorus: ?]
One day, youll love my pain
One day, youll love my pain
I need you, Lord
I need you, Lord (I need you, Lord)
I need you, Lord
[Verse 2: Little Simz]
Undervalued, underappreciated in the workplace
Why give you my ideas in the first place?
Know how you contribute, they tell you 'describe how'
You ask for a pay rise, and they raising they eyebrows
Why does my Blackness have to come with a fight now?
Im peaceful at heart, but I suggest you pipe down
Im not ashamed of the soil that Im made of
Brave woman, my granddaddy is where I got my name from
You dont know me well enough to call me Simbi
The closest people to me actually call me Simz, apart from my family, in a loving capacity
I could never sell my soul for a salary, no
They want everything I own, the audacity
Try somethin, and test your mortality
That there, is a tragedy
Oh, you mad how I clocked it and I got here? Mentally, taking back my power and Im signing out, respectfully
[Chorus: ?]
One day, youll love my pain
One day, youll love my pain
Protect me, Lord (Protect me, Lord)
Protect me, Lord (I need you, Lord)
Protect me, Lord
[Verse 3: Little Simz]
Protect the body, protect the mind
No, God making sure my blessings are perfectly timed
We, as a people, die over pride
Those handouts are never options, where we reside
And I still gotta provide, what a mess Im in
Wonder if its cause I been westernised
Speaking to the suits, they never give you the best advice, a lesson Ive
Learnt the hard way
Emphasise real, recognise real, then you become recognised
Oh, please, step aside, if youre not fighting the war with us
How do you become numb to a genocide?
Cant you see that everything we feeling is intensified?
Bleeding straight from the heart, leave you painfully scarred
Many say, 'Rehabilitation is hard'
Use all your vices, and escape through the dark
Running away from the childhood trauma
So, tryna get cleans sounding like torture
Im somebodys daughter
Im somebodys sister, Im somebodys friend
You dont see me how they see me, you see money you could spend
Took me some years to comprehend, which led me to writing the realest shit ever penned
God said, 'Its time to give them some gems'
Switch your perspective, how you look at it through my lens?
They can never fool me again
Never silenced, Ima speak my truth till the end
[Outro: Cleo Sol & [?]]
(The Lord is with you, dear)
One day, youll love my pain
One day, youll love my pain
I need you, Lord (Lord)
I need you, Lord (I need you, Lord)
I need you, Lord (Lord)
I need you, Lord (I need you, Lord)
I need you, Lord (Lord)
I need you, Lord (I need you, Lord)
I need you, Lord
(Youll never be alone)
(The Lord is withyou, dear)
(The Lord is with you)
