[Verse 1: Little Simz]

Play it seven times over, it's the seventh time, seventh day

Gimme seven lives, when I'm done with seven, gimme eight

Seven colours in the rainbow, what happened to grey?

2007, chose a path and decided my fate, facts

Mind's blown, seven doobies to the face

Rolled seven prayers but had eleven in my brain

Feeling stranger things every time that I bring the forcefield light

I'll be Snow White with my seven dwarves, can't lie

Runs through my mind, meetin' heaven's door

Oh, I cannot get through life showin' no remorse, no time

What if you roll seven on the dice?

What if you get to know me and find out I got seven sides?

Wait – will you wanna be free?

Watch Aladdin with your third eye, you'll see

Never got three wishes from a genie

In the real world, not your dreams be way too deep

Beginning, middle and end, everything is me

Beginning, middle and end, everything is three

Mind, body, and soul; birth, life, and death

Past, present, and future, goin' over your head

Too ahead, too much of anything be bad for you, need balance The yin and yang is never bad for you

The good and the bad, men and women, they unite

Everything is everything, everyone is too alike

Way too similar, need individuality to strike

Too much chat, not enough, doin' whatever is right

Am I right or am I right? Right?

Feelin' too damn high, still I'm glad I'm


[Verse 2: Joe Newman]

Neon, neon, neon

A blue neon lamp in a midnight country field

Cows surround so you lean on, lean on

So much your hugs become hold-ons


[Verse 3: Little Simz]

The ones who tell you tell you how it really is

They trick you into believin' there's only one winner here

Well, fuck it, I'm comin' first, in the condition to work

All I need is one mic, get you one last verse

I've got one voice, once chance, one mother, one past

One pair of heels, one nose ring, one car, one goal

Will it ever change? Who knows

One day, a little me, ten fingers, ten toes

Ten friends turn foes, you know how it goes

Ten songs for you, twelve days, ten shows

By the age of ten, I was already on a roll

Stayin' out past ten, right, and Mummy didn't know

Ten crack commandments, Biggie taught me so

Home, but my body's still on ten different time zones

Been livin' in flight mode, ten seats on the plane

How I get here? Man, I thought I'd never see the day

Still, it came


[Verse 4: Joe Newman]

Neon, neon, neon

A blue neon lamp in a midnight country field

Cows surround so you lean on, lean on

So much your hugs become hold-ons


[Bridge: Little Simz]

See you where I'm at, see you where I'm at

See–see you where I'm at, right?

See you where I'm at, see you where I'm at

Make a wish, cannot take it back

Fuck it, I'll relax, neon lamps

Neon lamps (Neon lamps)

Make a wish, cannot take it back

Cannot take it back, cannot take it back


[Verse 5: Joe Newman]

Well, that smell of sex

Good like burning wood

The wayward lad laid claim

To two thirsty girls from Hornsea

Who left a note when morning came


[Verse 6: Little Simz]

Always told I'm unreadable, unbeatable

These days unreachable, my number's seasonal

Still, I love you

Niggas know my karma pays the truth from a lick of youth

Nothing I love more than being here, in and out of booths

Still, I miss you


[Outro: Ellie Rowsell]

Girls from the pool say "Hi" (Girls from the pool say "Hi")

The road erodes at five feet per year

Along England's east coastline

"Was this your first time?" ("Was this your first time?")

"Love is just a button we pressed

Last night by the camp fire" ("Last night by the camp fire")
