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.
[Verse 1: Little Simz] 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 [Chorus: Cleo Sol] 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 [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 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' [Chorus: Cleo Sol] 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 [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
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.
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 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.
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!
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
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
I’m directly affected, it does more than just bother me. This should be our mindset and mantra in this evil world. Can’t just tolerate evil, gotta fight it.
I can't say enough how hype on this album I am. Not only is her flow/cadence very refreshing compared to a lot of new school cats, but the production is incredible. So much Nujabes feel in this track. Nothing but respect, Little Simz. Keep doing what you do.
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.♥️
This album has to be up there with the miseducation of Lauryn for me. Its a privilege to hear the honest and articulate storytelling that is this album. We are in the presence of artistic genius! Bravo!
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.
Google recently confirmed for me something I already knew-this was my most listened to track this past year...love the nuanced leveling-up in both lyric and production going on in it from verse to verse...got me trying out dance-sways I can't pull off by the end. Thanks for it Simz!
I just love hip hop and I love this women she is beautiful and you can hear her love for hip hop witch every word man. The last time I heard an artist like this was Mos Def
Little Simz is literally the embodiment of authenticity when it comes to her music. Side note I want her to do a track with Avelino, there flows would bounce of eachother
I love everything about this album. I usually do not incline towards hip hop except for few artists but damn I not shying away from claiming this as my favourite album.

real talk.
Amen brother
same bro
Who else came here from that one reel?
i did lol, it was worth it
With the two cultured white girls? Shout out to them fr fr🙌🏽
Me
Sameeeee
Me lol
[Verse 1: Little Simz]
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
[Chorus: Cleo Sol]
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
[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
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'
[Chorus: Cleo Sol]
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
[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

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
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 ;)
Little Simz is so underrated, literally a lyrical genius, y'all can see she work very hard
Love that Sims and Cleo Sol work together so much. Perfect combination
100%!
Fr - Selfish, Woman and this song so many great songs
soul cleansing 🌱
Yeeee
Soul cleansing. Amen.
Simbi’s skillfulness as an MC has always astonished me, and it gets even better with every album.
💯💯💯
Best lyricist of my gen i swear
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
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.
I’m directly affected, it does more than just bother me.
This should be our mindset and mantra in this evil world. Can’t just tolerate evil, gotta fight it.
What a Renaissance woman sounds like. Fresh like sunshine. Thank you.
This is what I call perfection.
I can't say enough how hype on this album I am. Not only is her flow/cadence very refreshing compared to a lot of new school cats, but the production is incredible. So much Nujabes feel in this track. Nothing but respect, Little Simz. Keep doing what you do.
Just discovered this lady thru Apple Music radio 1, I’m grateful for being plugged😩❤️love from South Africa🇿🇦
this album is everything! touching the deepest parts of my being -thank you! you are phenomenal
