[Verse 1: Little Simz]

I know many many people disappoint you in life

But don’t be down you’ll be fine

Huh, Break bread with those who you think know you most

But it’s a cruel world shit I been told just hold your own

Fire in my belly won't put it out with a hose

Know that they been sleepin’ I’m wakin you out your zone

This is my attempt to be joyful I hope you see it

Shit is all fake but I’m tellin you that I mean it

Thinkin that you’ll relate im a sell out so fuck that deep shit

Hope you buy what im sellin get money then you won't see me

Wait…that’s the kinda shit that labels tell me

Without actually telling me cos can't nobody tell me

I’m my own business and person so only I can sell me

I may just become what it is so shit I’ll commend me

I know many many people disappoint you in life

So don’t be down you’ll be fine

Just hold your head up and smile

They continue ignoring so what I tell ‘em


[Hook: Emerson Brooks]

Don’t sleep on me

Cos I might not be there when you wake up

(when you what?) when you wake up

When you realize

That I’m

The one to be beside you when you wake up

(when you what?) when you wake up

Oh ohhhh….I bet you feel like a bitch when you wake up


[Verse 2: Little Simz]

He was a clever lad

Laid back fella lad

Made me believe that this here was about whatever man

Always hot and cold shit

Coulda been a weather man

Told him don’t put me in a category I know I’m better than

He already knew what it was don’t make a fuss

Are we done here? cos theres nothing left to duiscuss

Gave you all my time even tho was in a rush

I wasn’t ready you wasn’t ready what the ff…hmm

This is just life and I get it now

Lookin’ back I definetly wasn’t ready to settle down

I got my career to focus on and that’s the most important thing

Its more than that its more than me its more than him

See many many people disappoint you in life

But don’t be down you’ll be fine see things get better with time

Know he’s burning and I’m steady telling him


[Hook: Emerson Brooks]

Don’t sleep on me

Cos I might not be there when you wake up

(when you what?) when you wake up

When you realize

That I’m

The one to be beside you when you wake up

(when you what?) when you wake up

Oh ohhhh….I bet you feel like a bitch when you wake up


[Outro: Little Simz]

I know many many people disappoint you in life but don’t be down you’ll be fine
