Little Simz, Michael Kiwanuka - Flowers lyrics

Sleep down, leap down

Feel the pain of each troubled history
They'll wipe his memories then tell him
His past is a mystery
What is life without victory?
Opinion on liberty, enlighten me
How to stay sane in a world so mental
World sick enough
A voodoo child playin' "Purple Haze"
Can't get no relief, lonely hours
Never temporary he knows at some point
He will ascend eventually
Still goin' to heights, coincidentally
He's a mess but still good at puttin' on a
Brave face for the camera
He smiles, you can tell it's fake
You can tell it's fake
The thief sold him a cheaper
Ticket to Heaven's gates
No ID, no entry, 27 club says
The good fly young, the good are our greats
Jimi, Basquiat, Amy, Robert, Janis
Kurt Cobain

When the stars die young
Took 27 years to realize you already won
Flowers all, flowers all, flowers all
Flowers all for you

She's problematic, nobody can't stand it
Been told she's a liability and not an asset
Fuck, I'ma write it, confessions of an addict
How they let me sing to the masses?
Lost what I had starin' in the face of tragic
Like I didn't just Back to Black it
Love was my losin' game
Let's just call a spade a spade
Paparazzi on my doorstep, never leavin' home
Lyin' on the floor, minds blown
Tryna reach the phone
Let me take one more hit 'fore my eyes close
Let me take one more hit 'fore my eyes close
Shit, I think that was my last hit

One more hit before my eyes close
One more hit before my eyes close
One more hit before my eyes close
One more hit before my eyes close

Flowers all, flowers all, flowers all
Flowers all for you flowers all for you

Can you feel this energy? All
We have is memories
Always heard but never seen
This is more than you know
Connect with my body and soul and
Do what my body is told
Picture a beautiful sight but not
All that glitters is gold
Afraid of what the future may hold for me

If it's too late before
They dismantle my desires (Already won)
This is a formality
(Flowers all, flowers all, oh)
Try not to be so optimistic (Already won)

You already, you already won
You got the power, you got the power
Flowers all, flowers all for you
Whoa, all for you
