Never cared ´bout bein´ immortalised How can I stand with the opps and not with the tribe? They sell you a dream and then want you to glorify
Got a rude awakenin´ by ignorin´ 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 livin´ the corporate life? Unfortunately, honesty isn´t normalised Had to get my shit together and get organised If your hand´s in my pockets, I´m callin´ up all the guys Though, I don´t wanna be the reason of more divide Guess that´s in my nature of bein´ a water sign I´m sort of like Nothing is makin´ sense in my awkward mind Give me your ears to lend me for the night Shootin´ in the dark, guess I never saw the light Revoke access, I´m runnin´ it back, yes
Missin´ 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 oft after a few years After a few tears from challengin´ new fears Learnin´ everything I didn´t on the come up We was too busy makin´ music till the sun up Every day through the summer Didn´t learn the business and now I´m duckin´ for cover What a fuck up Might just leave a bad taste thinkin´ I´m a sucker Come up out my damn face, nigga, did I stutter? It´s 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 somethin´ dark
As long as you´re cuttin´ somebody´s payslip And sendin´ 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 bringin´ to the table is more than a feast for the belly of the beast Didn´t know I´m droppin´ somethin´ heavy for the streets Fuck the politics, I´m goin´ Meghan 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 listenin´ from Heaven on repeat He was backin´ 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 you´re alone The little thoughts that nobody knows Hardest thing to do was stay strong I knew I needed an angel
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 Get G checked for your disrespect Perception and observation is clinical More headspace, I´ve been shavin´ off my occipital They say you can´t hate who you don´t love And they say love is unconditional I´m ready to do the unthinkable Fuck rules and everything that´s traditional Giving your heart to someone might just leave you in a somethin´, somethin´
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 you´re alone
The little thoughts that nobody knows Hardest thing to do was stay strong I knew I needed an angel An angel
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
