I'll set you free


[verse 1]

Oh, pume top (?) on my slippers on indoors (?)

Bet you wanna know what is in store

Tilla bout to bill it, give him some roars

Age 101 n**** say no more

Might get the band out for my next tour

I've been on the road for too damn long

Hope I don't forget what I do this shit for

Work hard till I can't work no more (till I can't work no more)

First start off with a heart that's so damn pure (so damn pure)

Now let me re-manifest

Want a lot from the east to the west

Still say I believe in the best

They know that i'm seen as a threat


[hook]

Awhrr, I might just make that lane switch

Time for a change

They should know by now that still I be on that same shit

They all know who I came with (SPACE SPACE SPACE SPACE)


[verse 2]

Never came to pretend

How lame can you get?

Callin my name I get paid to forget

Watch out for I come n aim for your head

You picked the wrong day to piss me off

They look to me now I call the shots

I found the way without being lost

Firing N****s you can never meet the boss

Let me talk my shit

Let me talk my shit

My minds on a trek line

All I wanna do is be a better me

Might show you all a side that you've never seen

What the fuck is all this pressure I could never sleep

Nowadays i'm awake makin hella beats

Say my name, say my name what "Little Simz"?

I've been playing your shit like every week

For the past nine months so remember me (please do)

Wagwan for the jealousy

Never thought I would get that

I thought wrong, let me step back

And observe this room...

How many souls are true?

Let the truth unfold right now

But I've been clocking how these things move

As time round when I come thru

How vocal am I?

You can never guess me I've heard way too many lies

So please don't say to impress me

That shit don't impress me

Labels and boys are the same, they both just want to undress me


[hook]

Awhrr, I might just make that lane switch

Time for a change

They should know by now that still I be on that same shit

They all know who I came with (SPACE SPACE SPACE SPACE)


[verse 3]

Never came to engage

Never came for a wage, I came to make change

Why you look so shocked?

Boy fix your face

Where's your smile?

I've been in the spot for a while

I can never get too complacent

I never wanna be that person

(?) wanna smile for myself

And they wanna see my twitter get hacked

And they wanna see my soundcloud plays go down

But they don't wanna see my n****s get mad

And that's bullshit -- I state the facts

You can't hate me for that

And it's all a matta time

That you blink your eyes ill be on my way to Space and back

Don't tell me nothin bout work rate

Let me tell you bout work rate

I'm the reason the scenes goin so hard don't lie to yourself in the first place

I ain't even worried about first place -- i've been first place

That's not the issue

I-D mag: facing the issue

Take n****s out -- pray that they miss you

Basic... that's all I hear from these artists nowadays

They need to make that lane switch

No ones tryna hear none of that fake shit

[hook] x 2

Ayyyy

Age 101, Space
