Wings - Little Simz

[00:31.89]This is my story, wait, nah
[00:35.08]This is our story, this is our fate
[00:37.00]This is our kingdom, this is our place
[00:39.09]This is our freedom, cut off them chains
[00:41.21]This is our struggle, this is our pain
[00:43.28]This is our love, this is our trust
[00:45.40]This is our daughters, this is our sons
[00:47.54]Give me back my wings, yeah
[00:51.10]Oh
[00:52.01]Give me back my wings, see, I just wanna fly again
[00:54.09]Wanna try, fail, try to try again
[00:56.27]Head up in the stars, I promise I'm higher then
[00:57.77]The right person for the job, you hire then fire them
[01:00.45]I be working for the same thing, towards the same goal
[01:02.67]Are we losing the passion in which we came for?
[01:05.30]I was strong but identifying the same flaws
[01:06.97]Fighting each other but battling for the same cause, let me breathe
[01:10.02]Ain't got the time to be your enemy
[01:11.48]That **** is draining, they're taking up too much energy
[01:13.21]I'd rather invest in something that's worth it, the time is precious
[01:15.58]So for Simz to waste it is something you'll never see, hold me to it
[01:18.11]Everything is just a memory
[01:20.04]It's getting modest then and never modest then, then I remember
[01:22.00]I am not ****ing about, getting modest is an error
[01:24.18]I'll be fine as long as I've got my head up, breathe
[01:27.21]I ain't prayed in a minute
[01:28.63]Before you judge me, hold that thought and let me finish
[01:30.45]For a long time I thought that praying was just asking for things
[01:32.98]Like the road to riches and diamond rings
[01:34.65]But now I know that I just gotta be thankful
[01:36.72]Blessings every day, ****, I've got my hands full
[01:39.10]Lessons every day, I'm learning for more angles
[01:41.02]Mum, stop stressing over **** that I'mma handle, don't you know?
[01:43.68]Simbi got you, I ain't even gotta say it
[01:45.50]The album's here, I hope you love it, hope you play it
[01:48.04]I know you knew this day would come, I know you prayed it
[01:49.96]Can't wait to look at you and tell you that I made it
[01:52.53]It's amazing
[01:54.10]Good things come to the people that wait and I waited
[01:56.66]Tell me, do you believe the quote above I stated?
[01:59.23]Nobody handed me a dream, I had to chase it
[02:02.83]I had to find my own truth, my own meanings
[02:05.10]Wrote this in the same bedroom I started in
[02:07.25]Had to dream big, had to look beyond my ceiling
[02:09.73]Do you feel it?
[02:11.15]Hand on my heart, if only you could feel the way it's beating
[02:14.13]I mean it
[02:15.39]This the type of music that ain't never gonna sell? Well
[02:18.23]Shouldn't never ever tell me that
[02:19.74]Should've never ever told me that
[02:21.37]What if I prove you wrong? Tell me know, could you live with that?
[02:23.80]No, you wouldn't wanna live that
[02:25.21]I ain't saying this'll go to number one, oh, I ain't saying that
[02:28.05]I know you know that I ain't saying that
[02:29.56]I just wanna do this all for my people, **** the rest
[02:31.94]Give you realness every time, nothing more, nothing less, and it goes like
[02:34.83]No time for these low-lives
[02:36.59]I'm onto something bigger all thanks to the most high
[02:38.52]Becoming more relentless and less defensive, it's in my mechanism
[02:41.79]Who give a ****s about cosigns?
[02:43.06]Never scared of killing 'em, something that's too real
[02:44.83]They don't have to play this, I know that Huw will, and you will
[02:47.85]No, you can't ignore it
[02:49.76]Many of us want this life but just ain't cut out for it, yeah
[02:52.78]So don't you ever
[02:55.51]Forget who told you this
[02:57.03]No, don't you ever
[02:59.45]See, this is for your kids
[03:00.93]Yeah, don't you ever
[03:03.52]Overlook this here
[03:08.47]So this is our message, this is our faith
[03:10.59]This is our voice, this is our names
[03:12.67]This is our new, now we want change
[03:14.74]This is our sun, this is our rain
[03:16.97]This is our wind, this is our fail
[03:19.09]This is our hands, how can we help?
[03:21.16]This is our heaven, this is our hell
[03:23.25]This is our story, this is our tale, our tale
