Wings |
| This is my story, wait, nah |
| This is our story, this is our fate |
| This is our kingdom, this is our place |
| This is our freedom, cut off them chains |
| This is our struggle, this is our pain |
| This is our love, this is our trust |
| This is our daughters, this is our sons |
| Give me back my wings, yeah |
| Oh |
| Give me back my wings, see, I just wanna fly again |
| Wanna try, fail, try to try again |
| Head up in the stars, I promise I’m higher then |
| The right person for the job, you hire then fire them |
| I be working for the same thing, towards the same goal |
| Are we losing the passion in which we came for? |
| I was strong but identifying the same flaws |
| Fighting each other but battling for the same cause, let me breathe |
| Ain’t got the time to be your enemy |
| That shit is draining, they’re taking up too much energy |
| I’d rather invest in something that’s worth it, the time is precious |
| So for Simz to waste it is something you’ll never see, hold me to it |
| Everything is just a memory |
| It’s getting modest then and never modest then, then I remember |
| I am not fucking about, getting modest is an error |
| I’ll be fine as long as I’ve got my head up |
| I ain’t prayed in a minute |
| Before you judge me, hold that thought and let me finish |
| For a long time I thought that praying was just asking for things |
| Like the road to riches and diamond rings |
| But now I know that I just gotta be thankful |
| Blessings every day, shit, I’ve got my hands full |
| Lessons every day, I’m learning for more angles |
| Mum, stop stressing over shit that I’mma handle, don’t you know? |
| Simbi got you, I ain’t even gotta say it |
| The album’s here, I hope you love it, hope you play it |
| I know you knew this day would come, I know you prayed it |
| Can’t wait to look at you and tell you that I made it |
| It’s amazing |
| Good things come to the people that wait and I waited |
| Tell me, do you believe the quote above I stated? |
| Nobody handed me a dream, I had to chase it |
| I had to be business-minded and put aside my feelings |
| I had to find my own truth, my own meanings |
| Wrote this in the same bedroom I started in |
| Had to dream big, had to look beyond my ceiling |
| Do you feel it? |
| Hand on my heart, if only you could feel the way it’s beating |
| I mean it |
| This the type of music that ain’t never gonna sell? |
| Well |
| Shouldn’t never ever tell me that |
| Should’ve never ever told me that |
| What if I prove you wrong? |
| Tell me know, could you live with that? |
| No, you wouldn’t wanna live that |
| I ain’t saying this’ll go to number one, oh, I ain’t saying that |
| I know you know that I ain’t saying that |
| I just wanna do this all for my people, fuck the rest |
| Give you realness every time, nothing more, nothing less, and it goes like |
| No time for these low-lives |
| I’m onto something bigger all thanks to the most high |
| Becoming more relentless and less defensive, it’s in my mechanism |
| Who give a fucks about cosigns? |
| Never scared of killing 'em, something that’s too real |
| They don’t have to play this, I know that Huw will, and you will |
| No, you can’t ignore it |
| Many of us want this life but just ain’t cut out for it, yeah |
| So don’t you ever |
| Forget who told you this |
| No, don’t you ever |
| See, this is for your kids |
| Yeah, don’t you ever |
| Overlook this here |
| So this is our message, this is our faith |
| This is our voice, this is our names |
| This is our new, now we want change |
| This is our sun, this is our rain |
| This is our wind, this is our fail |
| This is our hands, how can we help? |
| This is our heaven, this is our hell |
| This is our story, this is our tale, our tale |
