[Verse 1]

I ain't even crossed paths with the world yet

They ain't even seen Little Simz through the good and the worst tests

Why would I wanna fly away from a place called home what a Bird's Nest

Going through a maze better be amazed when they say who's second and I'm

First yes

All I wanna see is skies and a blue sea

Walking on the beach bare feet with a drink poured out like a true g

Humbled internally

Better bill suttin

Burn it up to the 3rd degree

It's an emergency

This human life is absurd to me

I can say this gold energy ensures

Thats these remedies will enforce

Give another life back to that corpse

Shit these melodies are my thoughts

Show me who my enemies are my lord

I just wanna bless them even more

Show them we are one and I'm more than me, so we need find the pure unity

Within us


[Hook]

I See kaleidoscopes

The vision isn't dead help me find a pulse

And redesign the hope

Only speak the truth redefine the false

And See the light evolve

Cos all We talk about is designer clothes

We need to find the hope

And live in space we need to leave the skies alone


[Verse 2]

What you know about trying to follow a dream at 9?

Lil kiddie with ambition now I'm grown and clever enough to read the signs

But I was young and on a mission now I'm 20 and I can't believe the time

Where did it go to?

Where did I grow to? When other rappers needed height

Always had a buzz I never needed hype

All I ever wanted was to be free to fly

All the school taught me was how to read and write

Tryna flip a penny to a pound in this real cold town if only I saw between the

Lines

Money doesn't come when you believe a lie

Tryna find a star but I though i'd be the light, show

Speaking of show I might have to go, oh

Do what ever it take to blow, no

Even if evil wanted your soul, no

Stop right there ima make it clear

See I'm the only human body I fear

Said I'll be gone in a month, delaying it to a year

It's either you're with me and riding through my career

Or your steady waiting for me to disappear

Pick which one, choose which one

Lemme know now

Before I whether to hold you down or not

Talk to me tell me mummy are you proud or what

See you raised me up from only a flower pot

Now your flower growing and you can stand and watch

Its amazing that feeling ain't it

Try and take it in year i know its crazy

I ain't gonna lie I been thinking bout my dad lately

Tryna figure out if he knew I was killin it

Would he of been part of my life for the benefits
