Gratitude |
| Oh, broken homes and lonely souls is all they know |
| All they’ve shown is courage despite the circumstances |
| Time is passing by, stars command the sky |
| Don’t play dumb by asking why |
| You already know how all the stories involve |
| Came here on my own, former that we leaving alone |
| Put my feet in the studio and call it my home |
| While others have got no way out |
| How blessed am I? |
| Nothing left to find |
| Your life’s on the line, don’t question mine |
| Take my advice, don’t stress in life |
| Arms out to you, you can rest your head in mine |
| I’m prepared to fly with no landing |
| I might just be the last one standing |
| They should know that Simz ain’t ramping |
| I came to show there’s more, I’m expanding |
| Still on my lonesome |
| Give a fuck, I’m chosen |
| Bit of luck and a wish, maybe we’ll get there |
| But for now, I’m zoning |
| Somewhere in the air, I’m floating |
| They will not control us |
| This the type of shit that ain’t never gonna sell |
| Man, you shouldn’t have told us that |
| Nah, you shouldn’t have |
| I’m crawling up these walls |
| But they won’t come down, no, they won’t come down |
| I’m tearing at the core |
| Till their words drown out, till their words drown |
| Clawing at the heart, the trust |
| You take the little pieces, covering up my soul |
| I’m just a fool in your game |
| My life, your prey |
| I ain’t never had a chance to do what I love |
| Ain’t nobody ever been encouraging me |
| I just stay indoors, wishing and dreaming |
| Maybe in another life, it will happen for me |
| I put all my energy into feeding my kids |
| Do they appreciate the sacrifice I made for 'em? |
| No, their daddy ain’t around and I have to make up excuses |
| As to why he hasn’t yet came for 'em, oh lord |
| Why did you pick me, lord? |
| What is it that you can see in me, lord? |
| I’mma write this down, something to report |
| No air in me, I’m learning to breathe more |
| How I feel insane, the effect is a glass ceiling |
| Do it cause I love it and not cause I’m tryna make a killing |
| Hell no, saying what I like, you can tell so |
| And if there’s a problem, hit me on my cell phone |
| Know a couple brothers talking through a jail phone |
| On their best behaviour but still walk it hibernal, shit’s fucked |
| No, I don’t owe you nuttin' |
| Talk that talk if you’re gonna do something |
| If I was in this position like a year ago |
| I probably would’ve fell off like a year ago |
| Fill my pockets, yeah, it’s money that we run alone |
| But fuck that, tell my people that I’m coming home |
| I’m coming home, boy |
| I’m crawling up these walls |
| But they won’t come down, no, they won’t come down |
| I’m tearing at the core |
| Till their words drown out, till their words drown |
| Clawing at the heart, the trust |
| You take the little pieces, covering up my soul |
| I’m just a fool in your game |
| My life, your prey |
